Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After mutations occur, the more powerful animals become, the more difficult it is for them to reproduce. Only species like rats evolve to reproduce more efficiently, and an entire rat colony can only produce one rat king with superpowers.

The two weasels in front of us are not too weak, and it will probably be difficult for them to reproduce in the future. This little weasel is very likely to be the only offspring of this pair of weasels, so it is very precious. If we can catch it, we can control this pair of weasels.

So, while the weasel couple were dragging the person away again, Zhou Yang secretly took out a skewer of roasted meat from his spatial storage, and also put a bowl of spring water next to him. Then he waited motionless for the cub to take the bait.

Sure enough, after playing for a while, the little weasel suddenly smelled something and began to search around. After finally determining the direction from which the smell was coming, it stood still and observed Zhou Yang. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, it ran over without any suspicion.

When he got to where Zhou Yang had put his things, he saw some very fragrant meat and water on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he decisively rushed to the bowl of water and drank it down in big gulps.

Zhou Yang seized the opportunity, quickly leaned over, grabbed the little weasel by the neck, and lifted it up.

The little weasel was suddenly caught and startled. It cried out and struggled desperately with its four little paws, but to no avail.

The little weasel's cries quickly attracted the weasel couple. Seeing their child being held by a two-legged creature, they were extremely anxious and roared fiercely at Zhou Yang.

However, since their only cub had been captured and its life was in danger at any moment, the weasel couple, despite their fierce howls, were actually hesitant to act rashly.

Zhou Yang was initially worried, but after realizing this, he simply stopped pretending, stood up, and even waved the little weasel in front of the weasel couple.

This infuriated the weasel couple. They bared their teeth and claws at Zhou Yang, howling and barking repeatedly, clearly wanting to bite the human in front of them to death. However, their little cub was being held tightly in his hand and crying for help.

"Hey, don't come any closer and scare me. I can't take a scare. If you accidentally crush this little brat while your hand is shaking, don't blame me!" Zhou Yang pretended to be scared, then threatened with the little weasel, "You knocked all these people out, didn't you? Wake them all up right now."

The weasel couple, whether they understood or not, pointed to themselves and then to the person on the ground, chattering away at Zhou Yang for a long time without doing anything.

"Tsk! Different species can't communicate!"

Zhou Yang scratched his head, somewhat annoyed: "Can you even understand human language? If you can, then say something; if not, just shut up!"

Upon hearing this, the two weasels immediately fell silent.

Very good, it can understand human speech. It really did become a spirit after mutation.

"If you can understand, then go and wake everyone up, or I'll kill you all, you brats... Understand?"

Zhou Yang squeezed the hand holding the little weasel tightly, startling the weasel into squealing again.

The weasel couple were also very anxious, barking at Zhou Yang for a long time, but in the end they did nothing.

"Damn it! You guys only know how to stun people but not how to save them, right?"

After all that, Zhou Yang finally realized that these two weasels didn't even have the skill of waking people up.

"Are we just going to wait for them to wake up naturally?"

The weasel couple nodded.

"how long?"

The weasel couple looked at each other, and then one of them called out four times.

"What does 'fourth tone' mean? Four hours?"

The weasel couple remained silent.

"Four days?" Zhou Yang asked tentatively.

This time, the weasel couple quickly let out a cry.

"Damn it! I'll starve to death in four days!" Zhou Yang cursed under his breath.

This won't do; we need to think of a solution.

Zhou Yang figured that since he and Wandou were unharmed, they must have something different about them that prevented them from being affected. And the biggest difference between them and the others was probably the spring water in the space.

How about giving it a try?

Zhou Yang took out a bowl of spring water from his spatial storage, and then, finding the little weasel in his other hand an eyesore, he simply threw it into his spatial storage. Anyway, he could easily grab anything in his spatial storage, so he didn't have to worry about it running away.

The weasel couple had been keeping a close eye on their cub in the human's hand. When they saw their cub suddenly disappear, they cried out in alarm.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately grabbed the weasel cub again and threatened, "Don't move! Your cub is in my hands. I'm just putting it away for now. If you make a sound again, I'll make sure you never see your cub again!"

When the weasel couple saw their cub suddenly reappear, still lively and energetic, they didn't dare to bark again this time.

Seeing that the weasel couple had quieted down, Zhou Yang put the little weasel back into his spatial storage. He then woke up Pea, who was still diligently pretending to be dead: "Pea, stop pretending. Get up and keep an eye on these two weasels for me. If they dare to move, bite them to death!"

"Woof!" Pea, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, immediately sprang to his feet upon hearing this, walked over to Zhou Yang, sat down, and began to keep a close eye on the weasel couple.

When the weasel couple saw another large dog that hadn't been knocked unconscious by the stench appear, they were startled. The dog's malicious eyes made them tremble and cower in the corner, too afraid to move.

Seeing that the weasel couple were completely intimidated, Zhou Yang finally felt relieved and began to pour spring water into the hands of the people on the ground one by one. He didn't dare to give too much, just a sip to each person. However, due to his poor technique, a few people accidentally choked, but fortunately it was only a sip of water, so it wasn't a big problem.

While busy, Zhou Yang was unaware that the weasel cub he had thrown into his spatial dimension was now in a blissful state, completely oblivious to its parents.

One moment he sneaked into the chicken coop to steal chicks, only to be chased by a group of fiercely protective hens who pecked off several of his feathers; the next he ran up the fruit tree, grabbed ripe, sweet fruit, and started gnawing on it, throwing one away after another. Finally, following the scent of the fragrant water he had drunk, he found the spring on the hill and began to drink it down in large gulps.

When Zhou Yang finished filling everyone's bowls with spring water and then pulled the weasel cub out again, the little guy's belly was bulging, and he even shamelessly let out a burp.

Zhou Yang: "..." Is this how a prisoner should behave?

This brat had clearly been causing trouble in his space, probably even drinking a lot of spring water. He knew that mutated animals loved to drink spring water; this little brat had gone straight for the spring before, which was why he had caught it.

But since he'd already drunk it, he couldn't be bothered to argue. At worst, he'd just die of thirst in a bit, and then he'd make braised weasel for Pea's snack.

The little weasel was enjoying its sweet, fragrant, and invigorating water when it was suddenly caught. It immediately became unhappy and started fussing, wanting to go back.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yang couldn't understand its cries, and even if he did, he would only scoff and call it a "mama's boy."

The weasel couple on the ground were completely confused and kept squeaking incoherently.

Zhou Yang was waiting for the others to wake up. Since he had nothing else to do, he took out a stool, sat down with the little weasel in his right hand, and watched the three weasels squeaking to each other.

No one knows what they were exchanging, but suddenly the weasel couple stopped moving and turned to look at Zhou Yang, which made Zhou Yang shudder.

Something fishy must be going on here! What kind of mischief are these two weasels up to now...?

Just in case, Zhou Yang pulled out a dagger and held it in his hand: "What are you looking at me for? Want to get stabbed?"

The weasel couple rolled their eyes, then stood up straight, put their two front paws together, and bowed to Zhou Yang, mimicking the gesture they had learned from the lackeys kept by humans.

Zhou Yang: :-) Are you guys from the weasel family or the canine family?
