Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Chapter 181 Tuogu

After the group finished packing up and completely sealed off all the entrances on both floors, Chi Feng and his group came down from upstairs with their bags.

However, like Zhou Yang and the others, their luggage looked very light.

Huajuan and the husky also followed behind, each with a small bundle hanging around their necks, making clattering noises from time to time, probably their small cans of food.

Zhou Yang glanced at Chi Feng and the others, and felt that their things seemed a bit too little, not at all like someone who had stocked up for a year after being reborn.

However, Huajuan has a spatial dimension, and he doesn't know Huajuan's specific level, but it might not be lower than Shen Zechuan's.

After all, its owner is already level 6.

Moreover, who knows, the space for mutant animals might be even larger than that for humans?

Thinking this way, Zhou Yang didn't ask any further questions.

The group, along with several mutated animals, took the elevator directly downstairs.

To make things easier underground, Pea had already transformed into a puppy at Zhou Yang's behest.

Because it was still early, most of the people who had been sleeping in the underground parking lot had already gone out to work while the temperature was still low. So the underground area was quiet and not crowded at all.

Zhou Yang and his group greeted the guards and then went directly to the shelter.

The underground shelter was cooler in the early morning than when I came yesterday. Since no one else had moved in yet, I felt refreshed as soon as I entered, as if the air conditioning was on.

The only downside is that it has a slightly earthy smell. After all, there are only a few ventilation openings, and they are quite far from the ground, so it will probably take a long time for the smell to dissipate.

Zhou Yang arranged the beds and wardrobes for everyone according to their assigned rooms.

He also equipped each room with a battery, a small gasoline generator, a cooler, and an electric fan before returning to his own room, where he made similar arrangements.

Next, an opaque curtain was hung in each room to prevent any future views from the outside.

As for meals, everyone decided to eat together in the future, and the dining area will be the reserved living room on the left.

So Zhou Yang placed a dining table here that could be folded and extended into various shapes.

This way, the size of the dining table can be easily adjusted according to the number of people eating. When not in use, it can be folded up and used as a coffee table.

Even the stools were simple stools with stackable iron frames.

Zhou Yang also placed the little nests of Pea and Big Yellow in a corner of the living room against the wall, which also served as a place for everyone to watch over the door.

Considering that it's still necessary to cook occasionally, Zhou Yang placed an outdoor induction cooker on the dining table that can be connected to a small generator, so that it's no problem to boil water or make soup when needed.

After all that fuss, it was time to eat.

After taking out the ready-made food from the space and giving Chi Feng and the others a four-dish-and-one-soup meal, Zhou Yang and the others also began their lunch.

It was everyone's first time eating in a shelter, and they were quite curious about it. They chatted and laughed, and the meal lasted for more than an hour.

After lunch, since we had nothing to do, someone suggested playing cards.

Lu Xingye's eyes darted around, and he rubbed his fingers together, saying, "Then let's bet on something, it's no fun just fighting like this?"

"What do you think we can offer? Everything is in Zhou Yang's space..." Chai Jin looked at his empty hands and pouted.

Lu Xingye: "..."

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "It's alright. Those things in my space are yours too. You can take them anytime."

Lu Xingye's eyes lit up again upon hearing this: "Then let's bet on snacks!"

Everyone understood his little scheme.

Before anyone else could voice their opinion, Yan Fei grabbed Lu Xingye by the neck: "Counting snacks is too troublesome, and the variety is too much to count. Do you have sunflower seeds? Let's use sunflower seeds to count."

“This is good, there are many of them, and we can even chew them.” Chai Jin was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

Lu Xingye, whose plan had failed and who dared not object, was speechless.

Finally, everyone agreed to settle the score with melon seeds. Zhou Yang then gave everyone a large bag of melon seeds, and even gave a bag to the ladies who were not participating in the card game.

So everyone passed the time by eating sunflower seeds and playing cards.

When Chi Feng arrived in the afternoon, he saw a noisy scene resembling a vegetable market, with sunflower seed shells flying everywhere.

"You guys are living like it's a vacation in this apocalypse..." Chi Feng muttered, then stretched out his hand to Zhou Yang, "Give me a handful of sunflower seeds too."

"..." Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from his bag.

Chi Feng, holding a melon seed, sat down on the stool that Yu Jing had brought over when she saw him, crossed his legs, and started cracking melon seeds.

Zhou Yang glanced at Chi Feng, and after finishing his current game, he withdrew from the battle, giving his spot to Chai Jin, who had already had several byes. Then he turned around and sat down next to Chi Feng.

"Why did you come here?" Zhou Yang didn't believe he had nothing better to do than drop by.

Chi Feng finished eating the last sunflower seed and clapped his hands: "It's nothing serious, we're just planning to go out tonight and expect to be back before tomorrow morning. We need to take Huajuan and Erha with us, but it's inconvenient for Fan Ge to come with us, so he'll have to stay here. I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on them for me. Although no one else is living downstairs right now, I'd still like to ask you for help."

"Oh, entrusting your son to someone?" Zhou Yang thought it was a piece of cake and nodded immediately. "Okay, no problem. I guarantee that when you come back, your husband will still be alive and well."

Chi Feng: "..." What kind of nonsense is this "entrusting someone with his son"? It's a good thing Brother Fan didn't come with him, otherwise he might have continued to give him the cold shoulder...

However, Chi Feng was too lazy to argue with Zhou Yang. Seeing that Zhou Yang had agreed, he got up to leave. Before leaving, he even took two large bags of melon seeds from Zhou Yang.

After dinner, Chi Feng and his two companions set off with Hua Juan and Erha.

After seeing the group off, Ni Fan nodded to Zhou Yang and the others, then turned and went back into the house without saying a word.

Looking at Ni Fan, who had such a cold personality, Zhou Yang couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, wondering how the two of them had fallen for each other. After all, Chi Feng was a bit wild and crazy, and logically, someone with Ni Fan's cold personality shouldn't have been able to handle him.

However, what Zhou Yang didn't know was that the two of them were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since they were in the womb. Their mothers had even arranged a marriage between them, but unexpectedly, they were both born boys.

I almost thought the two families wouldn't become in-laws, but they ended up together anyway. The two mothers are pretty open-minded, but it took the two fathers quite a while to accept reality.

It's a pity that such wonderful parents couldn't survive the first wave of the apocalypse...
