Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

The fifth year of the apocalypse, extremely hot.

While everyone was busy farming, the laboratory at the research institute studying mutated animals discovered that the silk of a mutated spider was extremely tough.

Moreover, after being rinsed multiple times to remove the stickiness, it can be woven into cloth. Clothes made from this cloth have excellent elasticity, are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are impervious to water and fire. Even zombies below level five or six cannot tear them.

After making this discovery, the researchers were excited and immediately reported it to Gu Tianqi.

Then the entire base was mobilized to search for this mutated spider in the wild and bring it back to the base for breeding.

Once the silk is processed, the entire base is mobilized to extract, wash, weave, and make garments.

The first and second batches of spider silk were prioritized for making bulletproof vests and distributed to soldiers on the front lines to kill zombies.

It wasn't until the third batch that it was Zhou Yang and his private teams' turn.

It wasn't until the fifth batch that there were enough cobweb clothes to sell to ordinary people.

Upon hearing the news, other bases immediately called to place orders. Gu Tianqi saw it as a good deal and readily accepted them all.

However, since they had accepted bribes before, they were too embarrassed to ask for crystal cores now. So Gu Tianqi had Yan Fei and the others take a batch of spider silk bulletproof vests and dozens of breeding spiders over there, so that the capital could start breeding them themselves.

With the aid of spider silk bulletproof vests, humans have become increasingly courageous in their fight against zombies.

Human beings' living conditions have gradually improved.

Lu Yanwen and Xu Qingtang finally tied the knot and went public with their relationship that year.

When the two of them held hands and announced their relationship in front of everyone, Zhou Yang and the others who had already seen through it all smiled at them with amusement.

Only Xu Zhiyi, who was completely oblivious to the situation, was hit hard and immediately jumped up from the sofa.

"When did you two start dating? How come I didn't know?!"

Before Lu Yanwen and Xu Qingtang could answer, Lu Xingye added insult to injury: "Maybe your eyesight is bad. Even I noticed it a long time ago."

Xu Zhiyi: "!!!"

Seeing that Xu Zhiyi was about to explode again, He Shanshan quickly pulled him down to sit: "Alright, alright, you're about to become a father, don't be so childish."

Xu Zhiyi was about to complain when he turned his head and realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, what did you say? I want to be a father?"

After saying that, he stared blankly at his wife's belly and repeated, "I'm going to be a dad?"

"Yes, you're going to be a dad. We just found out a couple of days ago."

"Holy crap! I'm going to be a dad! Hehehe! Hehehe!" Xu Zhiyi chuckled for a while, then looked triumphantly at the group of people around him, "Hey, brothers, I'm going to be a dad! You're going to be uncles! I'm going to have a kid!"

Zhou Yang and the others couldn't bear to look at him for a moment, thinking he had something they didn't.

Yu Jing, who had received double happiness, couldn't stop smiling as she watched the younger generation laughing and joking.

In the sixth new year of the apocalypse, the capital base announced that it had developed large-scale weapons such as crystal core missiles and crystal core rocket launchers.

After the New Year, the major bases dispatched teams of high-level superhumans to the capital despite the extreme cold, to purchase the latest crystal core weapons from the capital base.

The Baijishan base was naturally among them, once again dispatching the Qianlong Squad, a formidable team.

Well, who can blame them? The members of the Hidden Dragon Squad are the highest-level group in the entire base. Except for Zhou Yang, all the other ability users are level 6 or above. Shen Zechuan, Yan Fei, and Chi Feng have even reached level 7. Plus, there's Wandou, who has a travel cheat code.

They are truly the best choice for business trips in the apocalypse.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang and the others didn't mind; they just treated it as taking turns going out for some fresh air.

However, no matter how shameless Gu Tianqi is, he can't just take advantage of the Baijishan base for free this time.

After all, so many bases, large and small, are watching. If people find out he got it for free, things will be difficult for the capital base in the future. Besides, the crystal core weapons this time are extremely expensive; even the wealthy capital base can't afford to pay for them.

Therefore, the Baijishan base also paid a heavy price this time, spending a lot of crystal cores to bring back this batch of crystal core weapons and blueprints.

In just a few months, major bases across China have installed crystal core cannons on their city walls, and various official teams have also been equipped with crystal core rocket launchers and other similar equipment.

With the aid of new weapons, humanity began to officially reclaim lost territory, gradually advancing into cities and hunting down zombies on a large scale.

By the eighth year of the apocalypse, the city had been largely recovered.

However, due to extreme climate, humans still have no way to return to the city.

However, during this period, people gradually found that their physical fitness was getting better and better.

In the past, during periods of extreme heat and cold, people could only huddle underground, and even then, many still died.

But now they can not only go out occasionally in extreme weather, but fewer and fewer people die from extreme weather. Nowadays, even ordinary people rarely die from the weather.

If this trend continues, sooner or later humans will be able to fully adapt to this kind of weather, and returning to the city will only be a matter of time.

Although the zombie threat on land has been eliminated, mutated creatures from the ocean still pose a constant threat to everyone.

Fortunately, marine creatures only make landfall in large numbers before the annual extreme cold; otherwise, they prefer to stay in the ocean.

After all, land is still too small for these behemoths.

The Shanghai base has now become the training ground for the strongest superhumans in China.

Zhou Yang and his team would also rush to Shanghai every year to participate in the city defense battle half a month before the extreme cold.

As the mutated marine creatures that land each year become stronger, Shen Zechuan and his team's levels are also continuously improved. Currently, all members of the Qianlong Squad have reached level 8 or higher, with Chi Feng, Shen Zechuan, and Yan Fei even reaching level 9.

However, to their dismay, none of them could sense Pea's strength.

A group of the best among humans, worshipped by everyone, instantly fall back to earth the moment they return home each day, experiencing the frustration of being worse off than a dog.

Of course, the one who suffered the most was still Xu Zhiyi, who had encountered the superpower with the pea.

Zhou Yang always found it funny to see his teammates' competitive spirit.

Since the beginning of the apocalypse, the research and development of a virus vaccine at the capital base has never slackened.

But over the years, there has been no news.

Later, seeing that all the zombies in the country had been cleared out, everyone gradually began to feel that it didn't matter.

But only the high-ranking officials at the various bases knew the truth: they had only eliminated zombies in inland China.

But overseas, the number of zombies remains appalling.

Although it is bordered by the sea to the southeast, blocked by the world's highest mountain range and desert to the west, and has continuous mountain ranges to rely on to the north, zombies from other countries are still being continuously transported to the border areas.

As long as the problem of overseas zombies remains unsolved, China will never have a safe day.

So even though many people don't care, the expert team responsible for virus analysis and vaccine development has never stopped working hard.

Finally, in the tenth year of the apocalypse, this group successfully replicated the first strain of the zombie virus.

With the first step successful, the rest of the journey went much more smoothly.

The first virus vaccine was developed in just two years.

The day the news was released and reached all the bases, everyone wept with joy.

The apocalyptic disaster has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
