Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Hearing the commotion, Shen Zechuan stopped and turned around to see a black zombie dog rushing towards Zhou Yang. He screamed in alarm and simultaneously unleashed a bolt of lightning from his hand.

The moment Xu Zhiyi saw the zombie dog, he immediately took action.

Both superpowers struck the zombie dog simultaneously, forcing it to veer off course.

This gave Zhou Yang time to react, and she hurriedly ran with Wandou to Shen Zechuan and Xu Zhiyi's side.

Only then did he realize that the dark figure he had seen earlier was actually a black Doberman Pinscher.

However, this Doberman was already a zombie dog, and now, because its attack missed, it was barking wildly and staring fiercely at the group.

Its scarlet eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and saliva dripped from its sharp teeth and the corners of its mouth, forming a continuous stream that flowed to the ground. Its fur was rotting in many places, and only the skull and facial features remained on its head, with countless maggots crawling inside, sending chills down one's spine.

What's even more disgusting is the stench emanating from it. Even though the apocalypse has only been going on for two days, this zombie dog seems to have been dead for a long time.

Although it reeked, this zombie dog was far less rotten than the zombies outside, suggesting it may have undergone other forms of evolution, such as the common hardening of its fur.

If that's the case, then this zombie dog will be difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang secretly pondered what to do.

Xu Zhiyi, standing to the side, almost threw up his dinner from the night before when he saw such a disgusting dog.

"This is... a zombie dog? It's even uglier than a zombie..."

Zhou Yang had already pulled a military knife from his backpack and was holding it in his hand: "Hmm! This thing is not only more disgusting than zombies, but also more difficult to deal with. It's fast and hard to kill. Everyone be careful!"

“We’ll split up and take positions. In a bit, Pea and I will distract the zombie dog. As soon as it moves, you two will flank it from both sides. Shen Zechuan, you paralyze it with electricity. Brother Xu, you just take the knife and chop at its head and neck. Don’t hold back. This zombie dog isn’t very decomposed; its fur might have hardened.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan glanced at Zhou Yang. He felt that Zhou Yang seemed to know a lot of things, but he didn't think much of it and nodded.

"Okay, we'll cooperate with you. Be careful."

After saying that, he and Xu Zhiyi walked to opposite sides of Zhou Yang.

The three of them stood in three different positions. The zombie dog split into three groups and shook its head impatiently, hesitating about where to start biting.

Just as it sensed that Shen Zechuan smelled better and was about to pounce on him, Zhou Yang threw a brick at its head, instantly stunning the dog.

The zombie dog immediately turned its head and glared fiercely at Zhou Yang, letting out a howl.

"Ow!"

Zhou Yang gripped his military knife tightly as he continued to yell at the zombie dog: "You stupid dog! Look here! Come and bite your grandpa!"

The zombie dog was successfully provoked and immediately turned around and pounced on him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately stepped back, while shouting to Pea:

"Kid! Spray it!"

Upon receiving the order, Pea launched a large fireball at the zombie dog's head, but the zombie dog nimbly dodged it.

At the same moment the zombie dogs moved, Shen Zechuan and Xu Zhiyi also set out.

Shen Zechuan didn't underestimate the power and released the maximum amount of electricity. The zombie dog, which was in mid-air, couldn't dodge and was paralyzed, falling to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Zhiyi used his hidden knife to stab the zombie dog in the neck.

Unfortunately, just as Zhou Yang had predicted, the zombie dog's fur became incredibly tough, and Xu Zhiyi's knife only managed to leave a small cut on it.

"Damn it, the skin is so tough! I can't cut it in!" Xu Zhiyi cursed under his breath.

"Don't stop, keep chopping! The pea is biting its hind leg so it can't move!"

Zhou Yang hurriedly shouted, then strode over, picked up his military knife, and stabbed it into the zombie dog's eyes and mouth. No matter how tough the zombie dog's body was, its eyes and mouth were definitely weak points.

Sure enough, Zhou Yang easily pierced it in.

The zombie dog was suddenly blinded and stabbed in the mouth, and became enraged. Its body, which had been paralyzed by lightning, began to fight back. Pea, who was nearby, rushed over and bit the zombie dog's hind leg, restraining it.

Shen Zechuan and Xu Zhiyi quickly picked up their hidden knives and started hitting the zombie dogs.

Although each strike could only leave a shallow wound, the two of them slashed at the same wound, quickly hacking the zombie dog until it was covered in black blood, and half of its head was severed off.

Only when the zombie dog lay motionless in a pool of blood did the three people and the dog stop, collapsing from exhaustion.

"I'm exhausted, my arms are sore from chopping." Zhou Yang slumped to the ground, shaking his sore arms.

Xu Zhiyi also caught his breath before calming down: "They are indeed much harder to kill than zombies. Are all animals that turn into zombies this hard to kill?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, but zombie dogs that have evolved like this one are not easy to kill. If they evolve into ones with superpowers in the future, they will probably be even harder to kill!"

Shen Zechuan frowned deeply: "There are even those that can evolve superpowers?"

Xu Zhiyi's lips twitched: "Really? I've never seen a zombie with superpowers before."

"Sure, you guys have evolved superpowers! Even mutated animals like peas have evolved superpowers. So why can't zombies evolve superpowers? Just because they don't have them now doesn't mean they won't in the future."

Shen Zechuan and Xu Zhiyi: ...

Okay, that's certainly a possibility.

After resting for a few minutes to regain their strength, the three people and the dog stood up and continued carrying the sack back.

After taking only two steps, Zhou Yang suddenly remembered something, threw down the sack, ran back to the zombie dog, squatted down, and then used the tip of his knife to search inside the zombie dog's head.

To his slight disappointment, there was no crystal core.

Tsk, I thought that zombie dogs that evolved their fur so early would also evolve their crystal cores sooner. It seems that, just like in my previous life, the crystal cores won't appear until the first extreme cold.

Putting away the knife, Zhou Yang walked back with some disappointment.

Shen Zechuan and Xu Zhiyi were speechless when they saw Zhou Yang searching through the zombie dog's brains. When Zhou Yang returned, they couldn't help but ask:

What were you looking for just now?

"Um, doesn't the novel mention something called a crystal core? I thought this zombie dog was pretty strong, so I wanted to look for it. But it seems like there isn't one."

Zhou Yang gave a dry laugh and explained.

Shen Zechuan and Xu Zhiyi: ...

Shen Zechuan shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Take things in novels as a reference, but don't take them too seriously. It's getting late, let's go back and meet up."

"Ok!"

Zhou Yang nodded and followed the two.

I decided to wait until I encountered a zombie with superpowers again before looking for one, and if I still couldn't find one, I would try again when it gets extremely cold.
