Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

More than two months have passed since the apocalypse.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of military technicians working day and night, the power station at Baijishan was finally repaired, and power was restored to the base.

However, the weather is still too hot right now, and we are worried that the circuit will burn out again, so we can only provide power for limited periods.

There is only one hour of electricity during the day at noon so that residents who want to cook can cook their own meals. There is no power outage from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning.

The elevators in each residential complex are only powered twice a day, for three hours each time: from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Since almost every household's air conditioner had been removed and was no longer usable, most people gathered in the community's summer tents during the day. However, they could use electric fans when they returned home at night, which was much better than relying solely on hand fans.

After several days of rescue efforts, most of the local survivors have settled into the base. Combined with the more than 30,000 military personnel, the base now has a total population of nearly 60,000.

The amount of supplies consumed by so many people every day is enormous.

The meals offered at the base canteen started with a variety of dishes, including rice and steamed buns. Later, they were simplified to simple meals with a mix of meat and vegetables, and then to various meat and vegetable soups served with steamed buns...

When Zhou Yang was working before, he would go to the base canteen and pack a meal in a lunchbox to take home. He remembered that the food was quite good back then.

However, he stored most of the food in his spatial storage without eating it, as he still preferred the food he cooked himself.

After the project was completed, he never went to the base's canteen again.

He heard about these changes from Shen Zechuan, who had been visiting him from time to time recently.

Strangely enough, Shen Zechuan has been acting strangely lately, as if he's in danger and keeps coming to his house every now and then.

He always picks the right time to come, saying he's already eaten, but if you insist on having a meal with him, he can eat two big bowls of rice.

He strongly suspected that this person was just there to freeload.

And after eating there so many times, he even started bringing a few bags of rice and meat dishes with him.

Gee...

*

That day, Shen Zechuan came to visit again, but this time he arrived at almost 8 p.m., and he wasn't alone. Yan Fei and the other three also came along with Gu Yaoyao.

Incidentally, Zhou Yang also received some new information.

Just last night, the base administration issued another notice.

In essence, the base will cease assisting survivors who have not contributed to the base, and the free relief food provided to ordinary impoverished households will be completely canceled. Base residents who wish to obtain food and water must participate in base labor. The base will also provide various job opportunities for survivors to ensure everyone's survival.

Meanwhile, the base encourages survivors to form their own groups, register and establish task teams of no less than 5 people, and actively participate in the tasks issued by the base. As long as the tasks are completed, they can earn corresponding points.

At the same time, the base's trading center also issued several missions. One was to find survivors, another was to find various foods and medicines, another was to find several items needed for research experiments, and the others were to find the families of the soldiers that the base had compiled.

After explaining the general situation to Zhou Yang, Shen Zechuan then stated his purpose to Zhou Yang:

"We've been discussing it and are planning to register a superpowered team. We came here today to ask if you'd like to join us."

Zhou Yang had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and after thinking about it for a moment, she agreed: "Okay, sure."

Since you'll have to find someone to team up with anyway, it's definitely more convenient to team up with someone you know.

"I told you, Yangyang would definitely agree!" Lu Xingye raised an eyebrow, quite pleased with himself, then leaned close to Zhou Yang and said smugly, "Let me tell you, I've even thought of a name for our team!"

Zhou Yang glanced at Lu Xingye in surprise. She hadn't expected this seemingly carefree kid to be so concerned about the team's affairs. But seeing the others' expressions of disbelief, she suddenly felt a little uneasy. So she asked curiously, "So what name did you come up with?"

"How about Honor of Kings! Or League of Legends!?"

After Lu Xingye finished speaking, he winked at Zhou Yang, and then looked at the others with an expectant expression.

Zhou Yang was speechless for a moment: "..." Ah, this...

Everyone else looked speechless after hearing this, and even Gu Yaoyao covered her eyes and shook her head.

"Is it not good?"

Zhou Yang organized his thoughts: "Xiao Ye, this is our team name, it's not really appropriate to use a game name." Who uses a game name as a team name? It sounds so childish.

Undeterred, Lu Xingye continued to name a few more: "How about Starship Troopers? Guardians of the Galaxy? The Avengers? The Justice League?..."

Zhou Yang: "..." Oh no, I changed it to a movie title, but it feels even more cringeworthy now, what should I do?

Everyone looked at each other in silence, their silence seemingly deafening.

Finally, Yan Fei couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Lu Xingye: "Aye, take a break. We'll think of a name. You're wasting too much brainpower thinking about this; it's not worth it."

"Hmph, you just don't like the name I gave you! Fine, you guys come up with your own! I don't care anymore!"

With an oil bottle hanging from his mouth, Lu Xingye kicked Yan Fei and ran off to play with Wandou.

Yan Fei gasped when Lu Xingye kicked him, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh. He could only shake his head and rub the spot where he had been kicked.

The remaining people continued to discuss for a while, but they still couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

Xu Zhiyi pondered for a long time before offering his suggestion: "How about we call it the Hidden Dragon Squad, the 'Hidden Dragon in the Abyss'? Right now, we are all hidden dragons in the abyss, relying on our individual abilities. Hopefully, one day, after the apocalypse ends, we can all rise to prominence."

"This name is great! It has to be my brother Xu! People from scholarly families are just different." Upon hearing the name, Chai Jin slapped his thigh and raised both hands and feet in approval. Then he deliberately pointed out Lu Xingye's embarrassment, "Xiao Ye, look at the name that brother Xu chose, and then look at the one you chose. I'll tell you to read more books."

"Hmph! You talk as if you've read too much. Have you forgotten that you're even worse at studying than me!" Lu Xingye snorted at Chai Jin, then nodded and said, "Zhiyi is indeed a good name. I agree."

"Then let's go with this?" Shen Zechuan turned to look at Zhou Yang and Yan Fei.

Yan Fei said nonchalantly, "I have no objection."

Zhou Yang naturally had no objection: "I agree too."

Shen Zechuan nodded and said, "Okay! This one will do."

With the team name decided, the next step is registration.

Since the individual must bring their points card for binding, all team members must go together.

Moreover, because it's too hot during the day and few people go out, the service center now has staff on duty at night, so the group immediately decided to go and complete the registration right now.

Leaving Wandou behind to watch the house, Zhou Yang took his points card and house key and went with Shen Zechuan and the others.
