Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Pea looked around and saw that all the two-legged creatures surrounding her had fallen over. Curious, she poked at them, but none of them reacted. So she widened her eyes, tilted her head, and asked in a puzzled voice, "Hmm?"

Zhou Yang didn't have time to pay attention to Wandou. He squatted down and checked the soldiers lying on the ground around him. He didn't see any external injuries or bite marks, and their faces were all peaceful, as if they were just asleep.

It looks like she's been bewitched and drugged.

But that doesn't make sense either. These soldiers are all superhumans; their physical condition couldn't be worse than his, an ordinary person. If anyone's going to faint, it should be him first...

Just as they were wondering what was going on, Shen Zechuan, Yan Fei, and Song Lian also noticed something was wrong. They quickly led the rest of the group back and saw that only Zhou Yang and Wandou were alright. They hurriedly asked what was wrong.

"Zhou Yang! How are you? Are you alright?"

“I’m fine, but I don’t know why they all collapsed?” Zhou Yang stood up, shook his head, and continued, “I just checked, and I didn’t find any external injuries. Their breathing is also very even, so it seems like they just passed out. I don’t really know either, so please check them again.”

Upon hearing this, Song Lian immediately stepped forward to check on his team members. Just as Zhou Yang had said, there were no external injuries, and it was impossible to tell whether they had been poisoned. They simply wouldn't wake up no matter how much he called them. He frowned and shook his head at the others.

Upon seeing this, Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan's faces instantly turned cold.

We've only just arrived here, and more than half of the people have already collapsed, and the cause is still unknown. I wonder if the team that went missing also perished here.

Everyone was at a loss, discussing what to do next. Suddenly, the few remaining soldiers also began to feel dizzy. Before the others could react, they also collapsed to the ground.

Among them was Zhou Qi, Song Lian's comrade-in-arms of ten years and deputy squad leader.

"Zhou Qi! Zhou Qi!"

Upon seeing his old comrades fall, Song Lian became extremely anxious. He grabbed Zhou Qi's arm and shook it vigorously several times, but there was no sign of him waking up.

Yan Fei squatted down to check on the fallen soldiers again and tried to wake them up, but in the end he could only shake his head and stand up.

"No, we can't wake these people up at all. Something's definitely wrong. They couldn't have just fainted for no reason while we're fine. What went wrong?"

This group of people set off together in the morning and did not stop to rest, drink water or eat anything along the way. How did they fall into the trap?

The group pondered the matter for a long time, but could not find a solution.

At this moment, Xu Zhiyi covered his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice, "Do you guys have any idea... it smells even worse..."

They hadn't noticed it before Xu Zhiyi mentioned it, but after he did, the group felt it and realized it did smell worse than before, even making them feel nauseous.

Zhou Yang couldn't hold back any longer and quickly took out a few gas masks and distributed them to the group. Just as he was about to urge them to put them on, he saw Lu Xingye tap his head.

"Hmm, I feel a little dizzy..."

Immediately afterward, Chai Jin shook his head and said, "Damn... I think so too..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them collapsed together.

"Oh...!" Zhou Yang only had time to exclaim in surprise before she couldn't be pulled away.

Just as I was about to say something was wrong and ask Shen Zechuan and the others if they should take their men and evacuate, I turned around and saw that the other people were also starting to sway.

Zhou Yang was about to go up and grab them when, as soon as he reached out, all of them fell down.

In the end, only Shen Zechuan and Zhou Yang remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Um...should we move them out first, evacuate them outside, and replan our operation..."

"Okay." Shen Zechuan thought for a moment and agreed. Staying here without even knowing what the dangers were was indeed unsafe.

The two then began to drag each other towards the gate.

As a result, Shen Zechuan suddenly felt dizzy and then fainted after walking halfway.

"..."

What? He's the only one left? What should we do?

Zhou Yang looked at the people lying on the ground, feeling utterly overwhelmed. Staying here was clearly unwise; he couldn't just leave everyone here and run away, could he? But carrying them one by one was also impractical. The quickest way was to use his spatial storage to pack them up and move them.

Just as he was hesitating whether to put these people in sacks before putting them in his space and transporting them out, Yu Guangzhong suddenly saw something moving at the corner of the wall ahead, but because only a corner was visible and the light was insufficient, he couldn't see it clearly.

But this also confirmed one thing for Zhou Yang: something must be at work in causing these people's coma. Although he didn't understand why he and Wandou were unharmed for the time being, he thought about it and decided to take a gamble.

So he pretended to be a little dizzy, then leaned close to Pea's ear and whispered:

"Pea, fall down! Play dead! Don't get up until I tell you to!"

Pea glanced at Zhou Yang, then tilted her head and obediently carried out Zhou Yang's order, falling straight to the ground, kicking with her hind legs, closing her eyes, and remaining still.

That feigning death skill deserves full marks!

Zhou Yang silently gave Wandou a thumbs up in his heart, then looked around and finally found a good angle to fall onto Wandou and pretend to faint. The ground was covered in mud from their trampling, it was too dirty to fall on, so Wandou was a better option.

As Zhou Yang collapsed, the passageway fell completely silent.

After holding his breath and waiting for several minutes, Zhou Yang finally heard a rustling sound. He opened his eyes slightly and saw two fluffy, yellow creatures tiptoeing out from around the corner.

It looks somewhat like a squirrel, but it is significantly larger, and with its yellow fur, it is easy to associate it with a weasel.

Could it be that these two weasels are the ones who caused all this trouble?

Two teams, several elite units, all lost to these two tiny weasels? That's a bit insulting!

Zhou Yang was speechless.

The thought that the stench might be from a weasel's farts, only now with an enhanced ability to knock people out, made Zhou Yang feel nauseous, but he dared not make any rash moves for the time being.

The two weasels must have mutated as well, and who knows if they have any other skills. If he angers them and they hurt people in a fit of rage, he won't have time to rescue them into his space.

While Zhou Yang was racking his brains for a solution, the weasels had already approached the group of unconscious people. After confirming that everyone was sound asleep, two large weasels suddenly grew to more than five times their original size, then each picked up one of them and began dragging them inside.

This sudden turn of events left Zhou Yang stunned, and then she began to feel anxious.

Wow, this weasel can change size?

Moreover, where are they taking this person?

They don't kill people directly, but they go through the trouble of dragging them away... Are they planning to lock them all up as food supplies?

As the two large weasels dragged away several people one after another, Zhou Yang became even more anxious.

Just as he was considering whether to try to kill the two weasels, he suddenly saw another small weasel running out from around the corner.

The little weasel circled around for a while, and seeing that there was no danger, it boldly ran up to the humans and jumped around playing, showing no sign of wanting to help its parents.

After staring at the little weasel for a while, Zhou Yang came up with a plan.
