Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Zhou Yang found their dog-like actions amusing, but he assumed the weasel couple were begging for mercy and wanted him to release their cubs, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Praying won't help. I'm not releasing your brat now. I need to wait until they're all awake and ask them. Understand?"

Seeing that there was a communication problem, the weasel couple were so anxious that they scratched their heads and cheeks. Finally, the father mouse had a bright idea. He ran to the place where his cub had mentioned that there was an unfinished water bowl, picked up the small bowl, and placed it in front of Zhou Yang.

"..." Zhou Yang paused for a moment, "You also want... to drink this water?"

The weasel couple nodded quickly, their four eyes looking eagerly at Zhou Yang.

Damn, it's not that I'm begging him for mercy, it's that I want to ask him for spring water to drink?

However, Zhou Yang wasn't one to be fooled. Pointing to the little spring water left in the basin, he coldly said, "That's all that's left. Drink it or don't, it's up to you. My companions have all been drugged by you, and we don't even know when they'll wake up. You still want to drink spring water? Dream on!"

The weasel couple visibly wilted, then huddled in a corner and drank the last bit of spring water in the basin. After drinking, they started chattering and calling to each other again, seemingly discussing something.

Zhou Yang didn't have time to pay attention to them this time. He turned around and began to observe the condition of the others to see if there were any signs of them waking up.

But after waiting for a long time, no one woke up. Zhou Yang got a little anxious. After thinking for a while, he took out a large basin of spring water and started filling it with water for everyone.

This time, the weasel cub wasn't put back into the spatial storage. Instead, it was stuffed directly into the pea's mouth so that it could bite its neck. This terrified both the weasel cub and the weasel couple, and their legs trembled.

After another round of drinking, Zhou Yang's back was soaked with sweat.

Fortunately, after the spring water was poured in, the people on the ground finally showed some reaction.

"Um... what's going on..."

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Yang looked over and discovered that the person who had woken up was Shen Zechuan.

That makes sense, though. She had fed Shen Zechuan spring water to save his life before, so it's normal that he woke up faster than others.

"how are you feeling?"

Zhou Yang strode over, put his arm around Shen Zechuan's shoulder, and helped him sit up.

Shen Zechuan, still feeling a bit dizzy, finally came to his senses. He looked up and saw Zhou Yang staring at him. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and blushed. "No, it's nothing. By the way, how are you? Are you alright?"

Zhou Yang didn't pay much attention to Shen Zechuan's abnormality. Pointing to the weasel in the corner, he said, "I'm fine. I even caught the culprit, those three mutated weasels."

Shen Zechuan looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that Pea had a yellow-haired baby in its mouth and two giant weasels sitting in front of it. His eyes immediately turned cold.

It was these few mutated weasels that almost wiped them out...

Then he turned to look at the others and found that apart from Zhou Yang, he was the only one who was awake; the others were still asleep.

"Are we the only ones awake? Has no one else woken up?"

"Yeah, I was the only one who didn't faint, but I pretended to faint and caught their cubs..."

Shen Zechuan looked disapproving: "You should have run first. It's too dangerous for you to pretend to faint."

"?" Zhou Yang rolled his eyes at him. "Brother, weasels are carnivores. Are you telling me to run away alone so you can stay behind and become their food?"

"..." Shen Zechuan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Yes, Zhou Yang ran away, so how could they be saved?

At this moment, Shen Zechuan suddenly felt extremely useless. Not only had he failed to protect Zhou Yang, but he was also being protected by Zhou Yang. He secretly vowed to become stronger.

Zhou Yang, of course, couldn't hear Shen Zechuan's inner thoughts. He took out two sandwiches and two bottles of water from his spatial storage, handing one of them to Shen Zechuan.

“It’s almost 2 p.m. now. You should eat something and drink some water to recover your strength.”

"Ah."

Shen Zechuan didn't stand on ceremony and started eating heartily after taking the food.

After eating a sandwich, I wasn't full, but I wasn't too hungry either.

Having temporarily solved their hunger problem, Zhou Yangcai told Shen Zechuan what had happened after they all fell unconscious. The two discussed what to do next, but ultimately decided to wait until the others woke up.

After waiting for about half an hour, Yan Fei and the others woke up one after another.

Upon questioning, it was revealed that not only had they fallen into a deep sleep, but they had also all had dreams filled with the things they longed for, and they almost didn't want to wake up.

“Hmm… weasel farts do seem to have a hallucinogenic effect, so you might not be dreaming, you're just hallucinating.” Zhou Yang recalled the effects of weasel farts and said, then turned to Shen Zechuan with great curiosity and asked, “Were you hallucinating too?”

"Cough cough, no, no, I don't remember..." Shen Zechuan looked away in a slightly flustered manner, avoiding eye contact with Zhou Yang.

"Oh." Zhou Yang didn't think much of it upon hearing this, assuming that the spring water Shen Zechuan had drunk earlier had some effect in neutralizing the ailment.

Zhou Yang then recounted the general course of events to Yan Fei and the others, and then took out several portions of food and water to distribute to them.

While the group was eating, Song Lian's team members finally woke up one after another.

Zhou Yang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While Shen Zechuan and the others were explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Song Lian and Zhou Qi, Zhou Yang took out a large amount of food and drinks from his space, intending to distribute them to everyone.

After marching all morning, and then being knocked unconscious for an hour or so, everyone must be starving. They need to regroup and continue the march later, so they absolutely must eat and drink their fill to regain their strength.

Starting a fire to cook at this time would be too time-consuming, so Zhou Yang simply took out some ready-made sandwiches, rice balls, zongzi and the like from his space and let the soldiers choose for themselves.

The soldiers couldn't help but swallow hard as they looked at what Zhou Yang was holding, but no one took it until the captain gave the order.

So Zhou Yang simply sent it to Song Lian first.

"Captain Song, have something to eat. If you don't set an example, none of your men will dare to eat."

"Thank you! When we get back, I'll report it to the unit and get you supplies!" Song Lian sincerely thanked them, took a rice ball, and then turned to his teammates, "Don't be so polite, we'll repay Brother Zhou's kindness later! Hurry up and fill your stomachs, then we'll continue our mission!"

"Yes!"

All the team members answered in unison, and then one by one they went up to take the food from Zhou Yang, but did not take the water from the side.

Seeing the soldiers wolfing down their food, Zhou Yang handed out another bottle of water to each of them.

Only then did Zhou Yang have the energy to look at the three weasels.

He took the weasel cub back from the pea's mouth and held it in his hand. Then he took out the dog food and a basin of spring water that he had prepared in advance from his space and placed them on the ground. He then rubbed the pea's head and chin.

"Sweetie, you can rest now. Hurry up and eat!"

"Woof!" Pea cheered and then quickly lowered her head to eat.

Seeing that the dog had a large basin of spring water to drink, the weasel couple and their baby weasel were drooling with envy, but they could only stare at it helplessly.

"Hey, a group of people similar to us came before us, did you see them? Was that also your doing?"

The weasel couple tilted their heads, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Tsk, it really is you guys. You take us to find these people later. If they're all alright, I'll consider letting you go. But if any of them die... I'll skin you alive and make you into fur coats!" Zhou Yang glared fiercely at the three weasels.

The three weasels nodded repeatedly, appearing very obedient and well-behaved.

Phew, thankfully I've only been eating the big rats that tried to steal food from here, and haven't had a chance to eat those two-legged creatures yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the nerve to stick around with this human.
