Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Zhou Yang ate a bowl of rice and vegetables and a bowl of soup, his mouth greasy with oil. After finishing, he asked for two more bowls before stopping.

Finally, there was still more than half a pot of rice and vegetables left in the rice cooker. Zhou Yang didn't waste it and scooped it all out and put it into his space.

After dinner, too lazy to go out for a walk, Zhou Yang went into his space to water his vegetables, check on his poultry and livestock, and feed them.

Turning around, I saw a shelf of unhulled rice and suddenly remembered that I hadn't bought a rice threshing machine yet. I quickly checked online and found one that was neither too big nor too small and had pretty good reviews, so I placed two orders.

I was afraid that buying just one unit would break it, so I bought an extra one as a backup. After the apocalypse, not only would no one know how to repair it, but even if they did, they wouldn't have the tools.

The delivery address is the warehouse that Zhou Yang left, which will make it more convenient to store the goods in the warehouse later.

After placing the order, Zhou Yang went to sleep.

When Zhou Yang woke up, he logged into Taobao again and found that most of the packages he ordered had arrived, except for the water tank and gasoline can, which were from relatively remote locations and were large items.

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Yang first went to pick up all the packages, then unpacked them one by one and stored them in her space.

Then, seeing that I didn't have anything else to do for the time being, I went to the nearest farmers market and bought a lot of ingredients, planning to continue cooking at home and store them in my storage space.

Spicy hot pot, spicy crayfish, spicy diced chicken, pickled pepper chicken feet, roasted chicken wings, coconut chicken, big plate chicken, braised pork, steamed pork with rice flour, stewed pig's trotters, braised pork with vermicelli, boiled sliced ​​pork, boiled sliced ​​fish, pickled cabbage fish slices, steamed hairy crab, steamed sea bass, braised fish head, scallion oil fish, grilled fish...

The whole house was filled with a delicious aroma, making the kids downstairs drool. The adults also picked up their phones and started ordering takeout.

However, Zhou Yang was completely unaware of all of this.

He ate as he cooked, skipping lunch and dinner, and kept working until evening.

When I finally stopped, I realized the whole house was filled with a strong smell of cooking oil, and I couldn't help but twitch my lips. I quickly opened all the windows and turned on the exhaust fan to let the smell dissipate.

After finally getting rid of the smell in the house, Zhou Yang turned around and smelled the cooking fumes all over himself. Feeling uncomfortable, he quickly rushed into the bathroom.

After taking a shower and feeling refreshed, it was only a little past 8 o'clock when I came out.

He didn't need to eat dinner; he wasn't hungry at all. So he took out a bunch of USB drives and external hard drives he'd bought online, intending to download some things.

Download as many movies, TV series, anime, novels, variety shows, and talent shows as possible, regardless of whether they're good or not. Just download them first.

It would be best to download some instructional videos and books on agriculture, planting, animal husbandry, and various handicrafts; these will be very useful after the apocalypse.

Each of these drives has a minimum capacity of 2TB, which is more than enough. Furthermore, downloading different files to different drives makes it easier to find them later.

He'll be very bored without the internet, so he uses these things to pass the time.

To speed things up, Zhou Yang used all the computers in his house—desktop, laptop, and tablet. He downloaded TV series and variety shows on the desktop, movies, anime, and novels on the laptop, and used the tablet, which had limited memory, to download instructional videos and materials.

Because he had downloaded too many things and the internet speed was very slow, Zhou Yang simply left it there and went to sleep.

The next day, when Zhou Yang checked again, all three machines had completed their download tasks. After adding new download tasks to them, he left them there to continue working.

He went out and first went to a breakfast shop where he ate a bowl of hot wontons and a steamer of steamed buns.

Then I drove around, buying medicine from one pharmacy to another.

Zhou Yang bought every kind of Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and synthetic medicine that might be needed for headaches, fevers, sprains, colds, or other minor ailments.

He had no other options. He couldn't buy in bulk like in novels, and people wouldn't sell to an ordinary person like him in large quantities. He could only use this clumsy method of buying from each pharmacy one by one, slowly accumulating wealth. He would visit a different area each day, buying a little from each pharmacy, accumulating small amounts over time.

He also plans to use this method to collect gasoline and diesel in the future.

Midway through, Zhou Yang received a logistics notification from Taobao; the last batch of packages had arrived.

It seems that plans for water and oil storage also need to be made.

Just then, the real estate agent called.

The person on the phone said that two families had expressed interest in the apartment.

One company not only refused to negotiate the price but even offered to increase it by 50, but they wouldn't accept full payment upfront. The other company, on the other hand, would accept full payment upfront but wanted to lower the price by another 20.

Installment payments are definitely not something Zhou Yang would consider.

However, the price will be reduced by another 20 for full payment, and after deducting taxes and fees, the final price will only be around 420 million. The price was already significantly reduced when I listed it, so another 20 reduction is a bit too low.

However, time was the last thing Zhou Yang could afford to waste, so after some consideration, he finally agreed. He immediately had his agent contact the other party to sign the agreement the next morning, pay half the deposit, and then proceed directly to complete the transfer of ownership, paying the balance immediately afterward.

With this additional 420 million, he will have approximately 650 million left in his hands.

That night, Zhou Yang took photos of every corner of the house and backed them up on his phone, computer, cloud drive, and hard drive.

Then, he packed everything he could take from his room into the master bedroom of the small building. Next, he went to the living room and storage room, packed everything up and took it all away, not even leaving behind the small decorations on the wall.

However, Zhou Yang still kept his parents' belongings and photos in a separate room in the small building, just as they were.

The entire room was suddenly empty.

Zhou Yang spent the night in the space.

The next day, around 7 a.m.

Zhou Yang took one last look at the house he had lived in for over a decade, then closed the door and left.

With nowhere to stay for the time being, and the house in Baijishan still taking more than half a month to arrive, Zhou Yang had no choice but to book a hotel for himself for two days.

After that, he planned to go on a long trip to store water and buy oil, so two days would be enough.

Before leaving, Zhou Yang went to the delivery station at the entrance of the community again to pick up the remaining packages.

Because the packages were all large and numerous, Zhou Yang made about ten trips to move them all. Before leaving, he even received a look from the station owner that made him look like he was crazy.

Because his packages were all very light but bulky, namely the water tanks and gasoline cans he ordered online. They were piled up in rows, so much so that the station's door couldn't be closed last night, forcing the owner to sleep on the floor inside. From receiving the packages yesterday until this morning, the owner had been cursing the online shopper in his mind countless times.

Now that I see Zhou Yang coming to pick up the package, I really wish I could stare a hole through him.
