Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

After a long and arduous journey, the group finally returned to the base before midnight. The first thing they did was to send all the wounded from the sleds to the base clinic.

Fortunately, there have been many patients at the base recently, and the doctors and nurses are still working hard at this time.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Tianqi rushed to the clinic to check on the situation.

"What happened? So many people are injured?"

Shen Zechuan replied with a grim face, "We encountered mutated ivy that likes to suck human blood over there. They were very difficult to deal with, and several of our soldiers were killed. Yan Fei was also seriously injured and unconscious, and has been sent in for emergency treatment."

Upon hearing that his eldest nephew was also seriously injured, Gu Tianqi became even more anxious: "What? Yan Fei is also seriously injured and unconscious? Is his life in danger? What about the other wounded?"

At this moment, Zhou Xian stepped forward and said, "The team's medic checked on him. Since Yan Fei is a superhuman, his life should be safe. He just lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, but his abdominal wound will need some rest. Most of the other brothers have minor injuries, but a few have broken bones and need to recuperate as well."

"It's good that there's no danger to their lives." Hearing that his nephew was out of danger, Gu Tianqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to Zhou Xian and instructed him, "Go and comfort the wounded soldiers, especially those with fractures, and make sure they rest well."

"Yes!" Zhou Xian nodded in acceptance.

At this moment, Song Lian took the initiative to stand in front of Gu Tianqi. The nearly 1.9-meter-tall man looked like a child who had made a mistake, with his head almost bowed to his chest.

"Commander, this is my responsibility! I didn't thoroughly investigate before rashly entering the military base, indirectly causing the deaths of four brothers! It also resulted in the base losing a space ability user. Please punish me, Commander!"

Gu Tianqi sighed: "No one has ever seen a mutated plant before, how could you have known about it in advance? But there still has to be a punishment. You are to make sure all the fallen brothers are properly buried, and you are also responsible for comforting their families! If there are orphans or widows, your team will also be responsible for part of their subsequent support!"

After saying that, Gu Tianqi patted his shoulder and walked away. He had to go check on the wounded and his unconscious nephew.

With tears in her eyes, Song Lian watched Gu Tianqi's retreating figure, wiped away her tears and snot, and shouted, "Yes!" Then, holding the urn in her arms, she turned around and went to the base's mass burial site alone. After the burial was completed, she personally carved the names of her brothers stroke by stroke.

Because the urn also contained the ashes of brothers from the military base, but their specific names were unknown, Song Lian had no choice but to carve a line: In memory of all the soldiers of XX Military Base.

After examining all the wounded, Gu Tianqi turned back and asked about the key points of the mission.

"Did you bring back that communication equipment?"

Zhou Yang stepped forward and nodded: "I brought them back; they're in my space. Oh, and there are several boxes of weapons too. Shall I hand them over to you now?"

"Okay, take them out. I'll have the guards deliver them all to the command post."

“Okay.” Zhou Yang nodded, then took the box containing the equipment and the weapons out of his spatial storage and placed it on the ground.

Gu Tianqi waved to the guards behind him, and someone immediately came up, took the communication equipment, and sent it directly to the military command.

Shen Zechuan, who was standing nearby, remembered the crystal on his body and immediately took it out and handed it to Gu Tianqi.

"Uncle Gu, this is an energy crystal we dug out from the main root of the mutated ivy. It should be the source of the mutated plant's energy. Could you have the people at the research institute study what this thing is good for? Perhaps it can help improve our abilities. We are still too weak right now."

So many superhuman warriors, yet they were helpless against a mutated plant. They usually trained their abilities and thought they were already very strong, but they never expected that a mutated plant could easily defeat them. It was truly a slap in the face.

They must find a way to quickly improve their abilities, otherwise what will they do in the future?

Gu Tianqi took the stone from Shen Zechuan, tossed it in his hand, and apart from thinking it was quite pretty, he couldn't see anything else. So he had no choice but to put it away and take it to the two professors at the research institute later.

When those two professors were sent to work on planting and breeding before, they glared at him and said he was wasting his talent. So this time, it's okay if he studies something more advanced, right?

……

Gu Tianqi didn't stay in the clinic for long before he had to leave in a hurry because he had urgent business to attend to.

After confirming that Yan Fei was alright, Zhou Yang and the others prepared to go home.

However, since Yan Fei needed to stay in the hospital for observation for another night and needed someone to stay with him, Lu Xingye offered to stay and take care of the patient.

Zhou Yang and the others didn't stop them.

Before leaving, however, they left him a folding single bed, as well as blankets, pillows, food, and water.

Because Yan Fei was still unconscious, the group couldn't get into the house, so they spent two points to hire a metal-powered superhuman from the military to open the door for them.

By the time I got home, it was already midnight.

Although he was tired and sleepy, Zhou Yang couldn't stand the dust, stench, and blood on his body, so as soon as he got home, he turned on the water heater and turned all the heating in the house to maximum power, planning to take a shower later before going to sleep.

As for dinner, since everyone was tired and no one wanted to cook, we decided to just cook two pots of instant noodles and call it a day.

After finishing their meal and cleaning up the kitchen, everyone went their separate ways.

Remembering that the bean sprouts everyone had sprouted before were probably ruined, Zhou Yang quickly packed them all up and put them at the door, planning to throw them away with the kitchen waste tomorrow.

After finishing all that, Zhou Yang hurriedly returned to his room, intending to take a shower as soon as possible. However, out of politeness, he also casually asked Shen Zechuan, who had come in with him, about it.

"I'm too dirty, I need to take a shower before I go to sleep, do you want to shower too?"

Shen Zechuan glanced at himself and nodded, "I'll take a shower too. I haven't showered for many days, I really should."

"Okay then. You go first, and I'll go first?"

"I'll go first. It's probably a bit cold since the heating was just turned on, but I'm healthy and won't get cold. It'll be warmer inside after I shower, so you're less likely to catch a cold."

Zhou Yang didn't stand on ceremony and smiled, "Then I won't be polite. Thank you for warming up the atmosphere for me." Then she turned around to prepare the toiletries she would need later.

"Ah."

Shen Zechuan casually agreed, and after feeling the temperature in the room and finding it acceptable, he immediately started taking off his clothes.

When Zhou Yang finished getting her pajamas and towel and turned around, she saw Shen Zechuan standing naked in front of her and froze.

It took her several seconds to realize what was happening, her face burning hot, and she quickly turned her head away.

Holy crap, does this person have some kind of exhibitionist fetish? Is it really necessary to strip naked outside while showering? Couldn't they just undress in the bathroom?

But to be fair, Shen Zechuan has a really good physique, all lean muscle, and such a nice perky butt. And, it seems he accidentally caught a glimpse of his little brother…

Hmm... I'm no match for him...

"Ahem, go inside and take a shower! I turned on the water heater when I got home, it should be hot by now."

Zhou Yang looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but dared not look in Shen Zechuan's direction. He simply handed him a bath towel and urged him to go take a shower.

"it is good."

Seeing Zhou Yang's evasive gaze, Shen Zechuan smiled with pursed lips, then calmly took a bath towel and went into the bathroom.

Hearing the bathroom door close, Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

But even though there was no one in front of me, why couldn't I stop thinking about the scene I had just seen?

Oh no, something seems off about him!
