Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Shen Zechuan also heard the pea's cry. Before he could speak, he saw Zhou Yang already ascending the steps. Without saying a word, he chased after him.

Seeing this, Lu Xingye and the others naturally hurriedly chased after them.

As soon as Zhou Yang stepped onto the last step, he saw Pea covering three soldiers and several vines as thick as a baby's arm as they maneuvered around them, occasionally spitting out large fireballs to blast off branches that tried to entwine them.

The three soldiers were also trying their best to attack the vines with their superpowers and weapons, but as soon as they cut one, another one would appear immediately, and they could not cut them all.

Zhou Yang watched anxiously from the sidelines, but since he had no special abilities, going up would only make things worse.

At this moment, Shen Zechuan and the others also caught up. Although they had heard Zhou Yang say that it might be a mutated plant, they were still shocked to see so many thick vines dancing wildly in the crowd.

"Let's go help them! Zhou Yang, you and Xiao Ye stay here and don't move, be careful not to get hurt!"

Once he came to his senses, Shen Zechuan threw down a sentence and charged straight into the battle. Zhou Yang only had time to say "Be careful" before he disappeared from her side.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhiyi and Chai Jin also ran over with their weapons.

Lu Xingye knew that his water-based abilities were useless and he couldn't hold them back, so even though he was anxious and jumping up and down, he could only obediently stay aside and watch.

However, Zhou Yang couldn't stand it for more than two minutes and took out a large can of gasoline from his space.

Small fires don't cause much pain or itching, so it's faster to just apply gasoline.

He immediately called Chai Jin over: "Chai Jin, come and get some gasoline and pour it on the vines as much as possible!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, Chai Jin slashed the oncoming vines with a knife and pushed them towards Zhou Yang, then ran back with the gasoline can.

Zhou Yang stopped watching and took out his military knife to help cut the vines that were reaching towards Chai Jin, ensuring Chai Jin's safety.

Seeing that Zhou Yang had already rushed over, Lu Xingye could no longer hold back. He also picked up his Tang sword and ran to Zhou Yang's side to cut the vines together.

Chai Jin was strong, and he quickly finished pouring out a bucket of gasoline. Before he could even catch his breath, Zhou Yang immediately threw him a few bottles of liquor.

"Smash it where the vines are concentrated, especially from the direction it came from! Pea Xu Zhiyi, once the bottle is smashed, you guys throw the fireballs over there! Everyone else, back off!"

"it is good!"

"Wang!"

Xu Zhiyi and Wandou responded together.

With the sound of Chai Jin's wine bottle smashing down, two large fireballs slammed down simultaneously. With a "boom," the vines were blasted to pieces, and those that weren't broken were burned beyond recognition, scattering wildly across the ground.

"Go down and open the door now! You all go down and help rescue them. We need to get out as soon as possible! I'll stay here and watch the vines. I'll call you if anything happens."

Seeing that the vines were temporarily under control, Zhou Yang pointed directly at the unfamiliar soldier and told him to go down and open the door. This person must be the metal-powered person that the two soldiers had brought over.

These vines are only temporarily ignoring them; they will soon be fully recovered, and they must hurry and evacuate.

This is because the mutated ivy has only recently mutated and has little intelligence, only a basic instinct to eat. If we wait until the extreme cold has passed before encountering it, it will not be so easy to deal with.

The three soldiers didn't dare to delay and went down immediately.

Although Shen Zechuan was worried about the situation below, he was really worried about leaving Zhou Yang alone, so he let Lu Xingye and Chai Jin go down with them, while he stayed behind.

Seeing that Shen Zechuan didn't go down, Zhou Yang didn't say anything. Actually, he wasn't sure himself, so it was good to have Shen Zechuan keep an eye on things with him.

A few minutes later, Xu Zhiyi and the others helped several wounded people up, followed by a few weak people who could still walk on their own, among whom was Song Lian.

As he climbed up, he cursed under his breath: "Damn it, thank goodness you guys came, or we would have been dead."

Finally, Chai Jin carried the unconscious Yan Fei up. Lu Xingye followed closely behind, carrying two heavy boxes, which were probably what they were looking for.

Zhou Yang frowned and stepped forward to help Lu Xingye pack his things. Although he was also anxious about Yan Fei and the wounded, it was not a good place to stay, so he had to urge them to leave first.

"Let's get out of here first, or the vines will grow back if we delay any longer, hurry!"

The others, especially those in Song's team, had all witnessed the terrifying nature of that mutated plant, so they didn't hesitate and helped each other retreat outside.

Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan brought up the rear to avoid being attacked by the vines.

Seeing that no vines appeared after they left the building, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to linger there. They walked until they reached the base gate before stopping to rest in an open area and wait for the others to come and gather.

Zhou Yang quickly brought out some water and food for them.

Shen Zechuan and the others rushed to check on Yan Fei's injuries. There was a puncture hole in his abdomen. Although the wound had stopped bleeding, judging from his blood-soaked clothes, he must have bled a lot at the time.

Song Lian said that when he was covering their retreat, he was impaled by a vine. It was Yan Fei's strong will that allowed him to endure the excruciating pain and cut through the vine. He even pulled out the broken branch that was sucking blood from his body, which saved his life, but he later fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

Zhou Yang felt relieved after hearing this. Luckily, Yan Fei was a superhuman with a strong physique and excellent recovery ability, which was why he survived. If an ordinary person had done the same thing, they would have died long ago without timely medical attention.

Lu Xingye squatted down next to Yan Fei with misty eyes, wanting to check the other's wound but not daring to touch it. He could only ask Zhou Yang for some electrolyte water and feed it to Yan Fei little by little.

Zhou Yangyu gave him a cup of so-called electrolyte water mixed with spring water, thinking that since he had already given it, he might as well share it with everyone. However, when it was Pea's and his own turn, he gave them pure spring water instead.

After a short while, another rescue team returned.

Team leader Zhou Xian, with a dark expression, nodded to Shen Zechuan as a greeting, and then walked straight to Song Lian.

"Old Song, did you guys scout this place before you came here? Damn it, we didn't find a single living person, not even a zombie corpse. It's too strange."

"We've checked, but there's nothing there. Could they have retreated to another location?"

Zhou Xian frowned, still feeling something was off, but didn't delve deeper. Instead, he asked about the equipment: "Did you find that thing? If you did, let's get out of here. I keep getting goosebumps."

"Tch, just say you're cold. We found the thing, it's in Brother Zhou's space. But it's good to get out of here quickly, there's a mutated plant here, it's really weird."

Song Lian glanced at Zhou Xian, thinking that he was just afraid of the cold, but he agreed with his suggestion to retreat immediately. However, when he turned to look at Yan Fei, who was still unconscious, he was a little uncertain.

"What about Yan Fei? With such a serious injury, is it better to just head back?" There's no ambulance available now, and this sled is bound to be bumpy; we don't want the injury to reopen.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, you can walk." The medic in Zhou Xian's team stepped forward to examine Yan Fei's wound and said.

"Alright, let's head out then! Oh, by the way, I also found several boxes of good stuff in the armory. Brother Zhou, could you please put them in your spatial storage and take them back with you?"

“Okay!” Zhou Yang nodded and stepped forward to put all the large boxes inside.

……

As they were talking, none of them noticed that a not-too-thick vine was slowly creeping towards them from the corner of the wall...
