Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Zhou Yang left enough food and water for Da Huang and Er Huang to last a week, and instructed them to guard the house and kill anyone who came in to steal. Then he left with the others.

Pea was excited ever since it went outside, and its eyes lit up when it saw the thick snow and the snowflakes falling all around. This was the first time it had ever seen snow since it was born, and it was very curious. So it turned its head to look at its owner, its questioning intent quite clear.

Currently, Pea is six months old. Although she is still growing, she is not growing too fast anymore. After the extreme cold, her fur has grown much longer, now comparable to the length of a Golden Retriever before the apocalypse. Playing in the snow shouldn't be a problem, so Zhou Yang didn't stop her and waved to indicate that she could play in the snow.

After getting permission, it ran straight into the snow and started rolling around in it, finding it soft and fun. As it rolled, it became curious about whether it was edible and took a few bites.

Gu Yaoyao, who had been staring at it, burst into laughter, and Zhou Yang and the others couldn't help but chuckle as well.

After Pea finished catching up on snow, the group took Gu Yaoyao to Gu Tianqi's place. They then asked Gu Tianqi to find someone to re-weld the iron gate on the 18th floor before heading to the main gate of the base to reassemble.

Although the yellow dog and its owner were left to watch the house, the iron gate still needed to be welded shut. After all, even though animals have evolved, they are still not as cunning as humans, so an extra layer of security is necessary.

When the group arrived at the gate, another rescue team had already assembled and was waiting there. After the group joined them, the rescue team set off immediately.

Because the snow outside is too thick, it is difficult to walk, so now they use homemade sleds to travel, and the army's mutant military dogs temporarily act as sled dogs.

Pea was naturally also pulled into Zhou Yang's work, harnessed to a large sled, and used to pull the group along the way.

Although it was hard labor, Pea had no rebellious streak. On the contrary, she was incredibly excited because it was the first time she had pulled a sled and taken Zhou Yang and the others for a ride.

When Zhou Yang told him that they were in a hurry to find the tall guy who played with the iron block and asked him to run faster, Pea sprinted to the front, leaving the line of mutated military dogs behind. He even got a mouthful of snow and sneezed several times.

This maneuver stunned the soldiers on the other sleds, and it took them a while to react. They kept shouting for them to slow down and wait for them.

Before Zhou Yang and the others in the car could react, the car and its occupants had already traveled several hundred meters. By the time they came to their senses, the rest of the car was just a black dot. They quickly pulled on the reins and called for a halt to the vehicle.

"Stop, stop, stop! Kid, even if we're in a hurry, we have to wait for the others. Look at the other dogs behind you, they haven't gone very far yet!"

The pea immediately slowed down and stopped, then tilted its head to look at its owner, its face full of confusion. Wasn't it in a hurry to rescue the tall guy? Isn't it going anymore?

Zhou Yang could tell from the look on Pea's face that it had misunderstood. He sighed, rubbing his forehead, "We're a big team, we have to move together. I told you to run faster, not to stand out on your own... Besides, do you even know where you're going? So you'll have to run with those military dogs later, understand?"

Pea looked aggrieved and covered her face with her paws, her ears drooping down as well.

Those dogs, dawdling like this right from the start, they'll definitely run very slowly, so useless...

As Pea pondered this, she scratched at the snow with her paws for a few moments. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her, and her eyes lit up instantly.

So when the mutated military dogs finally caught up with the sled, Pea barked at them.

I don't know what the dogs were barking at, but it must have been something really filthy. These usually good-natured mutant military dogs were all swearing at Pea. If their trainers hadn't stopped them, they probably would have started a fight.

As the people on both sides watched the dogs getting more and more aggressive, they were about to pull the dogs away to stop the fight when they found that the scene suddenly quieted down. Just as they were wondering what was going on, one of the mutated military dogs howled and then rushed out in one stride. Its speed was so fast that it almost threw the soldiers off the sled.

Zhou Yang and the others were also startled by this turn of events. Just as they were about to tell Wandou to chase after them, they saw that Wandou had already started running. After creating some distance, she suddenly accelerated and caught up.

Looking at Pea, who was happily chasing after the military dog, Zhou Yang's face immediately fell into a dark expression.

This was definitely because Pea wanted to have some fun running and deliberately provoked the opposing military dog.

Thanks to the dogs' incredible efficiency, the military base, which was originally expected to take almost a day to reach, was reached in just half a day.

However, the aftereffects were quite noticeable; several soldiers got carsick as a result. They vomited up bile as soon as they got off the vehicle.

After separating the dogs from the sleds, they rested for a while outside the military base, ate something, and waited for the soldiers who were carsick to recover before the group picked up their weapons and went inside.

It was very quiet inside, and the traces of the previous group of people had long been covered by the wind and snow, so nothing could be seen.

The military base wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. To speed things up, everyone had to split into groups and search in different directions.

Because Zhou Yang was a spatial ability user, he and his group were accompanied by two soldiers who were sent directly to the underground base station, which was where Yan Fei and his team stored the items needed for their mission.

Regardless of whether they can find the person or not, if they find the high-density communicator, they must bring the communication equipment back with them.

Following the photocopy of the base map provided by Gu Tianqi, Zhou Yang and his group searched along the way. At the corner of the underground base station, they found some signs of battle, several burn marks on the wall, and even some bloodstains on the ground.

Seeing this, the expressions on their faces all turned grim.

It seems that Yan Fei and the others have indeed run into trouble.

Shen Zechuan frowned and said, "Let's follow the trail down and see if they've hidden in an underground base station."

"Ah."

The group followed the trail until they reached the entrance to the underground base station. The underground entrance, which should have been locked by a security door, was now a gaping, dark opening, with the door wide open, like a gaping maw ready to devour people, sending chills down their spines.

“I’ll lead the charge with these two soldiers. Zhou Yang, you and Xiao Ye will go in the middle. Brother, you and Chai Jin will bring up the rear. As for Wandou… just stay here and wait for us. The opening is too small for it to get in.”

"Okay." Everyone agreed, and the two soldiers had no objections either.

Shen Zechuan turned on his flashlight and went down first, followed closely by the two soldiers. Zhou Yang told Wandou to wait for him patiently before going down with the others.

Left alone, the pea stood at the entrance, staring intently at the black hole that only allowed half its body to pass through, and scratched at the ground with its paws in frustration.

The downward staircase is very narrow, allowing only two people to walk side by side at most.

For some reason, I keep stepping on things that look like broken branches and leaves.

As Zhou Yang walked down, he silently grumbled to himself.

Do military bases these days all focus on planting greenery and creating green spaces?
