Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

When everyone put down their chopsticks again, they were all full. Almost all the food on the table was gone, not even a drop of soup was left.

After a short rest, everyone stood up, rubbing their bellies, to clean up the mess.

Zhou Yang had originally wanted to help, but Shen Zechuan and the others pressed him back into his seat, insisting that he, the chef, not lift a finger. In the end, he could only reluctantly retreat to the sofa, hugging Wandou as he watched the others efficiently tidy up the kitchen and dining room.

After everything was packed up, the group gathered again in the living room, grabbed paper, pens, and calculators, and began to take stock of the supplies they had collected that day.

It took another half hour of work to finally get the statistics right.

By the end of the day, they had collected a total of 15 tons of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, and about 400 kilograms of other staple foods such as noodles, rice noodles, and instant noodles. They also collected more than 8 tons of meat, including pork, beef, and mutton, 5 boxes each of chicken, duck, and goose eggs, more than 200 kilograms of vegetables, and more than 150 kilograms of fruit.

There are 50 10L bottles of water, 200 boxes of 500ML bottles of water, 116 bottles of various cooking oils, 5 large boxes each of salt and sugar, and 2 large boxes each of other condiments.

There were 8 barrels of gasoline totaling over 500 liters, and two large barrels of diesel totaling 1000 liters.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous daily necessities, but not in large quantities.

After taking stock of the supplies, Lu Xingye looked at the total on the list and couldn't stop smiling. Suddenly, he felt that the apocalypse was not scary at all.

"So much! Enough to feed us for years! By then, the apocalypse should be long over! Hehe!"

Yan Fei glanced at him, ruthlessly shattering his hopes.

"You're thinking too simply! Just because there's no suitable place to store them, these things won't last long. If the current situation can't be controlled, the apocalypse won't end so easily. If the country can't control it, then these things might not be produced anymore, and what will we eat then? Even if we can find food elsewhere, the food will have long since rotted and spoiled."

"what?"

After hearing Yan Fei's words, Lu Xingye visibly slumped down again.

“If it were that easy to get through, it wouldn’t be the apocalypse.” Shen Zechuan patted Lu Xingye on the shoulder and comforted him. “But don’t be discouraged. Rice keeps well. As long as it’s stored properly and doesn’t get damp, it should last for several years. I have a small freezer in my basement. I freeze meat, vegetables and fruits in there, and it can last for several years.”

"We won't just sit around and do nothing. We'll be going out to find more supplies later. So there's no need to be too pessimistic."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye breathed a sigh of relief, and the others nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yang was a little surprised to hear Shen Zechuan say that his family also had a freezer.

"You even have a freezer in your house... "

No wonder they're rich; even two double-door refrigerators in their villa aren't enough, so they have to build a freezer room.

Unfortunately, the power will be out soon. Even if the army arrives and establishes a base, restoring power, it will take a long time to power high-powered equipment. Furthermore, these villas will be flooded after the extreme cold, and it's uncertain whether the airtightness of these freezers will be able to withstand the floodwaters…

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang suddenly felt that both the freezer and the luxury villa were a pity.

"Yes, you can set the temperature yourself; it's for both preservation and freezing. I originally planned to move it here to store red wine, but for now, I'll just use it as a freezer."

Shen Zechuan was unaware of Zhou Yang's inner thoughts. He found the strange expression on Zhou Yang's face, which alternated between sighing and regret, but assumed that Zhou Yang was envious of the freezer. So he suggested, "Do you have anything that is difficult to store and needs to be frozen? If you're comfortable with that, you can freeze it here with me. You can come and pick it up anytime, no problem."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang quickly waved his hand: "No, no, my supplies are all durable, it's alright, I don't need them for the time being."

Seeing that Zhou Yang refused, Shen Zechuan did not force her, but emphasized again that if needed in the future, frozen supplies could be delivered at any time.

This kind of benefit would be something others would desperately want, but Zhou Yang didn't need it. After all, no matter how good the freezer was, it couldn't compare to the convenience of his own personal space. However, he couldn't refuse outright at this point, so he readily agreed.

After discussion, the group divided the supplies into six portions. Originally, Shen Zechuan and the others wanted to include the peas, making it seven portions, but Zhou Yang firmly disagreed, so in the end, they could only divide it into six portions. However, they also agreed that if there were any left over after the final distribution, they would give some more to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.

In the end, in addition to the supplies he was entitled to, Zhou Yang also took several vacuum-packed bags of rice, a large piece of pork, a can of gasoline, two cans of cooking oil, and some seasonings.

It was impossible for Zhou Yang to carry all these things home by himself, so the others offered to help him load the supplies back in a truck, and even carried them all to his doorstep.

Zhou Yang felt quite embarrassed, as he had gotten a lot of benefits that day.

They originally wanted to invite them to have a drink of water and rest before leaving, but Shen Zechuan and the others insisted on going back.

Realizing it was getting late and everyone was exhausted, Zhou Yang didn't try to keep them any longer. She decided to give them some of the vegetables she grew on her balcony another time. Fresh vegetables always taste better than frozen ones, right?

After seeing the group off and closing the door, Zhou Yang stored all the supplies that had filled the living room into his spatial storage. In the blink of an eye, the living room returned to its previous spacious and tidy state.

Then he took out a large basin of spring water, poured himself a cup, and gave the rest to the peas.

Pea nuzzled against Zhou Yang's shoulder, then lowered its head and began to gulp down water. After a long day of running around, it had only drunk a little spring water and was already incredibly thirsty.

After drinking a cup of spring water, Zhou Yang's fatigue vanished. She then took a change of clothes, took a shower, and prepared to go to sleep.

Perhaps because he had exercised too much today, Zhou Yang fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down on the bed and his head hit the pillow.
