Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

When Zhou Yang heard about the discount, he was quite tempted. Buying it out now was the cheapest option, and the price would definitely go up in the future.

He took the two sheets of paper and looked at them. One was a table for exchanging supplies for points, and the other was a table for exchanging points for supplies. Both were made by hand on the spot. Although they looked very simple, they were quite concise and clear.

1升水换7积分；1斤大米6积分；1斤面粉4积分；1包方便面3积分；1斤水果4积分；1斤蔬菜4积分；1升汽油10积分……

Gasoline is still the most valuable commodity at present.

Zhou Yang sighed for a moment, then looked at another picture:

租房：3积分/㎡ /年；购房：30积分/㎡；租车：10积分/天/吨位；租军刀：4积分/把/天；租弩箭：6积分/把/天；购买军刀：1200积分/把；购买弩箭：2500积分/把……

Wow, the army is even willing to sell their cold weapons. It seems they're really short of supplies.

After reading it, Zhou Yang had a plan in mind. He calculated how much material he would need and said to Qian Jiang, "Hmm! I can buy the house outright. But if the original owner comes looking for it later, will he take it away?"

"Don't worry about that. From now on, everything will be based on our registration. Previous property ownership certificates will be invalidated after we complete the registration."

"Okay, then I'm relieved. Please wait a moment, I'll go back inside and get the supplies now."

"okay!"

When Qian Jiang heard that Zhou Yang was certain he wanted to exchange supplies for a house, he grinned.

Zhou Yang made several trips, pretending to be busy, and finally got 6 bags of rice weighing 100 jin each, 15 bags of flour weighing 2 jin each, 10 boxes of instant noodles, 6 10L bottles of gasoline, and 4 10L bottles of mineral water.

"I grow my own vegetables on the balcony, so they need to be picked fresh. I'll have to trouble you to wait a moment. Or, would you like some water to drink first?"

Zhou Yang roughly calculated that these supplies were worth about 4900 points, and he was still 100 points short. He planned to use vegetables and fruits to offset the shortfall.

"Sure, sure! We're not in a hurry! We don't need the water; everyone's short on water right now. We can just wait here!"

Qian Jiang was thrilled to hear that there were fresh vegetables, as they hadn't eaten any for half a month. As for water, he refused outright. Although the effects of the apocalypse weren't immediately apparent, water resources would definitely become scarce in the future, and they couldn't just take the people's water for free.

"Alright then, thank you for waiting a little longer."

Zhou Yang didn't insist. He turned around and went to the balcony. Then he took out several kinds of vegetables that he could grow himself, which he had previously bought from the supermarket, as well as a basket of lemons, which weighed about 30 kilograms.

After lingering on the balcony for a while, Zhou Yang finally took a large bag of fruits and vegetables and went outside.

"Do you have a scale? We can weigh it and see, it should weigh over thirty kilograms."

"Yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll have them weigh you."

Qian Jiang glanced at the vegetables in the bag and saw that they were indeed very fresh. He smiled and pointed to the two new recruits behind him, who brought over an electronic scale. He then put the whole bag on the scale.

Seeing the 17.5 kg displayed on the scale, Qian Jiang immediately grabbed a few calculators and calculated Zhou Yang's total score.

"17.5 kilograms, 35 jin! 5000 points is enough, but it's 40 points over! Do you want to take some more back?"

Zhou Yang shook her head: "No need, just put the extra points on my account, I still have to pay the water and electricity bills later anyway."

"Alright, I'll write it down for you! By the way, young man, do you have any special abilities? Like shooting fireballs? Water balloons? Controlling metal? Or maybe you're incredibly strong or run incredibly fast?"

Qian Jiang chuckled and had the clerk record Zhou Yang's points before asking another question.

Zhou Yang had already revealed his spatial ability to Shen Zechuan and the others, so there was no need to hide it now. He said directly, "I have spatial abilities, but I can only store a small amount of things, about the size of a small room of about seven or eight square meters."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiang looked at Zhou Yang with the same excitement one would have for RMB before the apocalypse, and immediately grabbed Zhou Yang's hand.

"Space is great! Out of our entire force of over 30,000 brothers, only three have awakened spatial abilities. Comrade, have you considered joining the army? Or, if you want to go out and find supplies, have you considered cooperating with the army?"

Zhou Yang smiled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't need to join the army. My small frame can't withstand the training. But if the army needs me, you can contact me and I'll consider it."

"Okay, okay! Thank you for being willing to help the troops, you're a good person!"

Qian Jiang grinned from ear to ear. Although a significant proportion of his comrades in the army had awakened superpowers, most of them were offensive in nature, and spatial abilities were in short supply. Having a spatial ability user in the team when searching for supplies would be incredibly convenient, saving a lot of manpower in transporting resources.

"You're welcome."

Receiving a "friend zone" card in this way for the first time, Zhou Yang could only smile awkwardly.

"Then we'll take our leave! By the way, is anyone still living upstairs? If not, we'll leave immediately."

"The upper floors are all empty; no one lives there."

"Okay! Thank you for your cooperation! Salute!"

Qian Jiang and the other new recruits behind him saluted in unison again before leaving with a large pile of supplies.

After seeing the soldiers off, Zhou Yang was no longer sleepy, so he took Wandou to his space to exercise. He only came out to take a shower after working up a sweat.

It's almost lunchtime again.

Zhou Yang cooked a few dishes and put them in his spatial storage before taking Wandou out the door.

He planned to go have dinner with Shen Zechuan and the others, and also to find out some information.

If I remember correctly, Yan Fei had mentioned before that his uncle was bringing troops over, which should be this army. But whether that's true or not, we'll have to ask again.

When Zhou Yang arrived at the villa with Wandou, he saw several uniformed guards standing at the gate. Just as he was about to approach to see what was going on, he was stopped by the outermost guard.

"Comrade, entry is temporarily prohibited inside. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Um, I'm looking for the owner of this villa, Mr. Shen Zechuan. I'm his friend. Could you please call him?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless: "Okay, but I need to report first, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned and went into the villa.

Zhou Yang only waited a few minutes before Shen Zechuan strode out, followed by the same guard from before.

"Why did you come here? Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I specially prepared a few dishes to eat with you. By the way, who are they...?"

"Oh, this is Uncle Gu, who is also Yan Fei's uncle's bodyguard. He's inside right now. Come on, take Pea and come in with me. We just hired the army cook to cook for us, so it's perfect that you're here. Eat with us."

"Will it be alright if the peas go in too?"

Although Zhou Yang felt that Wandou was safe and particularly well-behaved, others might not think so, so he was still a little worried.

"It's okay! I already told Uncle Gu. Besides, Pea is a very good girl, isn't she?"

As Shen Zechuan spoke, he gestured with his chin toward Wandou, who cleverly echoed his words.

Zhou Yang then felt relieved and led Wandou into the villa.
