Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

The next day, Zhou Yang woke up before 7 a.m., prompted by his biological clock.

The moment he looked up, he saw Shen Zechuan's devilishly handsome face, and he was just a hair's breadth away from kissing Shen Zechuan's chin. Startled, he leaned back and rolled over, but accidentally rolled his head overboard and fell off the bed. Luckily, there was a pea under the bed that cushioned his fall, preventing him from landing flat on his back.

Poor little yellow pea, it was startled awake by its owner again early in the morning.

Such a big movement naturally woke up Shen Zechuan. He opened his eyes groggily and said, "Good morning, what happened just now?" Zhou Yang casually replied, "Good morning," and then rushed into the bathroom.

Her profile, seen in a fleeting glimpse, was completely flushed, even the base of her ears were red.

As soon as Zhou Yang entered the bathroom, the sleepiness on Shen Zechuan's face vanished instantly, replaced by a shrewd expression. He smiled meaningfully and then leisurely got out of bed.

When Zhou Yang came out of the bathroom after dawdling for a while with a wet face, Shen Zechuan had already started cooking porridge in the kitchen, but it was just plain porridge.

So Zhou Yang made a few more radish pancakes.

After breakfast was ready, the two sat facing each other at the table, eating their breakfast in silence and awkward silence.

Of course, the only one who felt awkward was Zhou Yang himself.

He just couldn't understand it. He'd practically wrapped himself up like a ball last night, so how did he end up sleeping in Shen Zechuan's arms? It was unbelievable! Was he really that much of a sleeper?

This happened last time at the grain depot, and it's been the same these past two days...

The more he thought about it, the more he doubted whether he had misunderstood himself over the past few years.

He actually loves to toss and turn and roll around, and when he sleeps alone, he can subconsciously roll back to his original position.

Is it because I always sleep alone that I didn't notice?

Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that he would fall asleep and end up in someone else's bed?

It couldn't have been someone else who carried him there...

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Yang became very worried.

What are we going to do now? It's really unethical to keep taking someone else's blanket. Maybe he should just sleep alone...

With that in mind, he brought it up with Shen Zechuan.

"Um... I think I tried to steal your blanket again last night, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, I have superpowers anyway, so I'm not too afraid of the cold." Shen Zechuan didn't even look up, seriously eating the porridge in his bowl.

"But it's not good to keep taking your blanket. Otherwise, I'll sleep by myself. I'll bring out another single bed from my room, and it should be big enough."

"Won't Pea have nowhere to sleep then? It's pitiful to leave it to sleep outside all by itself." Shen Zechuan glanced at Pea, who was burying its head in its rice, and looked somewhat reluctant.

"Then, shall I sleep in the second bedroom? Pea and Yellow will keep me company, that should be fine."

"Won't I be cold all by myself? And where will you put your things?"

Zhou Yang was about to say that you are a superhuman and not afraid of the cold, and that I can store things in my space, but then she suddenly remembered that she had said last time that her space was only about ten square meters, so she swallowed her words back.

"If you're worried about tossing and turning at night and fighting for the blanket, it's simple. We'll just sleep together. If you toss and turn at night, I'll hold you down so you can't get up. Besides, if you sleep alone and no one's watching you, what if you kick off the blanket in the middle of the night and get sick in this cold weather?"

Zhou Yang was taken aback: "Huh, sleep together? Is that appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Is it strange for two men to huddle together for warmth? In this cold weather, there are plenty of people sleeping together in the underground parking lot. You know, survival is the most important thing in the apocalypse, why be so particular? Besides, what's wrong with two grown men sleeping together? It's not like we'll lose a piece of flesh. And this way we can have two blankets, making it warmer at night."

Zhou Yang thought to himself, "I have hundreds of blankets in my space. I can use as many as I want." But he couldn't say that.

However, thinking about what Shen Zechuan said, it didn't seem wrong, so in the end, Zhou Yang just opened his mouth but didn't say anything in rebuttal.

"Then it's settled! Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you and make sure you don't catch a cold!" Seeing that Zhou Yang was hesitant but not very resistant, Shen Zechuan made the decision for him directly.

Zhou Yang brushed some of her long hair from her forehead, feeling that something was still off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. In the end, she could only agree with Shen Zechuan's words.

Well, we're all men anyway, he won't lose out. Besides, in terms of physique alone, if anyone's at a disadvantage, it's Shen Zechuan.

That's how it was decided.

After breakfast, Zhou Yang went to check on the vegetables she had planted as usual, and found nothing unusual. Then she turned around and went to the second bedroom, where she took out a vacuum sealing machine.

He plans to package all the mutated chicken braised dishes he made yesterday.

Each portion doesn't need to be too large, just enough for an average superhuman to have a full meal. This makes it easy to carry and preserve. Later, when going on missions outside the base, everyone can carry a bag, so that if one person is absent, no one will go hungry.

After reading the instructions and figuring out how to operate it, he and Shen Zechuan got to work.

Shen Zechuan was in charge of getting the portioned braised food for him, while Zhou Yang was in charge of vacuum sealing it.

The two worked until noon before they finished packing up the entire large bucket of braised food.

He had originally intended to give Shen Zechuan some of his two mutated chickens, but Shen Zechuan insisted on keeping them with him.

Zhou Yang had no choice but to put them all into his spatial storage.

At lunchtime, Zhou Yang asked Shen Zechuan to call the people across the table over to join them.

After all, he had promised Gu Tianqi to take good care of his daughter, so a few more mouths to feed didn't seem to matter, since they regularly provided supplies anyway.

The main dishes were sweet and sour chicken pieces and Kung Pao chicken, made directly from the mutated chicken that was freshly made yesterday. However, Gu Yaoyao was still young and did not have any special abilities, so she could not eat these. Therefore, he also made a tomato and egg stir-fry, stir-fried bean sprouts, and a corn and pork rib soup.

Upon hearing that there was food to be had, the group across the street quickly came over.

After everyone had finished eating, Yan Fei suddenly said, "I might have to leave the base in the next couple of days, probably for two or three days. If you have anything to do, take care of it today. Don't go out while I'm gone."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan frowned and asked, "Are you going on a mission? Was it arranged by your uncle?"

Yan Fei nodded: "Yeah, I'm still a soldier on the payroll after all, and it's really hard to just laze around like this every day. So a few days ago I told my uncle that I was joining the army here, and I'm currently in the same squad as Song Lian and the others, serving as the deputy captain."

"In this freezing weather, the snow can drown a person. What kind of mission are you going on? Have you lost your mind?"

Although Lu Xingye was quite annoyed with Yan Fei, he was still worried when he heard that Yan Fei was going to carry out another mission, so he retorted.

Yan Fei's thin lips curved slightly, the change in curve almost imperceptible to the untrained eye. He vigorously ruffled Lu Xingye's hair until Lu Xingye bristled again before withdrawing his hand.

"The base is missing a set of high-density military communication equipment. My uncle left the military region in such a hurry that he didn't take it with him. Now he wants to try to contact the capital, but ordinary communication equipment won't work, so he has to go to the nearest military base to see if there is any high-density communication equipment. But those kinds of things are usually stored underground, and they will probably be flooded when the snow melts, so we have to go now."

"Don't worry, I'm going with Captain Song and the others. The whole team are all superhumans, and all the zombies outside are frozen solid now, so it's very safe. I will definitely come back safe and sound."

"Get lost! Who's worried about you!"

Lu Xingye glared angrily at Yan Fei, but a hint of unease still lingered in his lowered eyes, after all, this guy always came back covered in injuries.
