The next task was to renovate the shelter.

With Bus Number Seven joining, the previous shelter felt a bit too small. It wasn't impossible to fit both vehicles inside.

But it would be somewhat cramped.

And the Monster Pickup Truck's volume wasn't actually much smaller than Bus Number Seven.

However, a problem arose during this process.

With more people joining, the Little Monster got a bit timid and was very unwilling to come out and help.

In the end, it was only after Chen Ye coaxed it in various ways that the Little Monster decided to extend its tentacles from under the vehicle.

But Xu Lina had already warned everyone beforehand, telling them not to pay too much attention to the Little Monster's existence.

Even with that mental preparation.

When people saw the Little Monster effortlessly and easily pull out a semicircular column of wood.

These people were still so startled that their eyelids twitched wildly.

That semicircular wooden column was very heavy. For an ordinary person to move such a piece of wood, they'd need at least seven or eight people, no question about it.

The Little Monster was like a giant piece of engineering machinery.

Seven or eight tentacles extended from the vehicle body, directly inserting into the ground, forming an octopus-like foot to stabilize the vehicle frame.

The remaining few tentacles directly pulled out the wooden columns originally embedded in the ground.

Then forcefully re-inserted them into designated positions.

Many of the previous wooden columns had been damaged.

But with the one Xu Lina chopped down earlier, plus the two she herself had shot and broken with her gun earlier.

The wood supply currently seemed sufficient.

It's just that the two trees Xu Lina shot and broke were really a bit too small.

Probably, this woman had to put in quite a bit of effort to find these two trees.

In this Sea of Trees, giant trees so thick that several people couldn't wrap their arms around them were everywhere, but finding smaller ones was quite difficult.

After finishing this breakfast that felt ridiculously early, everyone had their own tasks.

This woman, Xu Lina, somehow got her hands on a full set of black clothes to wear.

Black skinny jeans.

A black tank top, a black denim jacket, and a black baseball cap.

And the red tail protruding from under the baseball cap.

Hmm, describing this red tube as a tail was probably more fitting.

It's just that this tail was hollow, and its color looked somewhat eerily red.

Moreover, this tail seemed to be controllable by Xu Lina.

In Xu Lina's own words, this tail was like her third hand.

This version of Xu Lina looked full of a strange, alluring charm.

Furthermore, Chen Ye noticed that no one dared to let their gaze linger on her for even a moment longer.

Many people looked at her with a mix of fear and awe in their eyes.

What made Chen Ye even more concerned was that in this woman's eyes, which were so seductive they seemed to drip water, there was always a trace of unintentional madness leaking out.

It was like... like a doll on the verge of losing control.

Although it was late at night, the camp was anything but quiet.

Figures moved back and forth around the bonfire.

It's just that these people's movements were sluggish, and they would occasionally yawn.

Due to prolonged tension, many people were already so exhausted they felt like they might collapse the very next second.

But everyone knew that now, time was almost a matter of fighting for every minute and second.

Not a single second could be wasted.

Some people, while working, couldn't even keep their eyes open.

Others would just stop, the tools in their hands halting mid-task.

When you got closer to look, this person was already asleep standing up.

It continued until nine in the morning.

Seeing that they really couldn't hold on anymore, Chen Ye had Xu Lina announce a ten-minute break.

As a result, these people just lay down on the ground, not caring whether the ground was dirty or not, and fell asleep just like that.

It was simply outrageous.

Watching as some people had already started snoring, Chen Ye looked at these people with a touch of envy.

He really wanted to sleep too.

He was also very tired...

But after his class change into the Blood Moon Lord, Chen Ye had lost the ability to sleep.

In the very beginning, he could still force himself, clear all thoughts from his mind, and use this method to fall asleep.

But now...

This method of forcing himself to sleep no longer worked.

This nap ended up letting everyone sleep for a full two hours.

When Xu Lina woke them up, many people still wore expressions of indignation, but upon seeing Xu Lina's smiling face.

They all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Xu Lina's eyes with their six pupils.

The current Xu Lina was long gone from the stunning beauty who was all looks and no substance.

With the help of those monster tentacles, the new shelter quickly took shape.

The tall, solid wood walls on all sides provided an unprecedented sense of security.

Of course, this level still wasn't enough for Chen Ye.

After thinking about it, Chen Ye decided to add another inner layer using round logs.

This would effectively divide the shelter into two layers.

Just like the ancient city wall's ramparts.

Xu Lina didn't object to this decision. When facing Anomalies, no amount of caution was excessive.

The shelter's main gate was currently being repaired.

This time, Chen Ye planned to build the shelter's gate to be even sturdier.

At the same time, by noon, the Monster Pickup Truck's solar charging system was finally considered complete.

That black, glossy solar panel on the roof brought back the feeling of civilization.

A slight smile curled at the corner of Chen Ye's mouth. Finally finished.

After getting in the vehicle, he saw that the electronic devices inside had already lit up.

The radio even emitted two crackles of static.

The vehicle's instrument panel now also had a status display for the solar charging panel.

Currently, it showed a charging efficiency of ten percent.

Chen Ye looked at the pitch-black interior of the shelter.

For protective performance, this shelter wasn't built with any windows.

The light from the bonfire outside the door couldn't illuminate this room either.

Therefore, calling it pitch black was no exaggeration at all.

However, under such conditions, achieving a ten percent charging efficiency was still quite satisfying for Chen Ye.

He drove the Monster Pickup Truck out through the still-unfinished main gate.

Arriving outdoors.

The sky at the horizon was still a hazy gray, but it was much better than the complete darkness inside where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Chen Ye took another look at the charging status display.

It had actually reached fifty percent.

This level of brightness had fifty percent efficiency?

But Chen Ye was still very satisfied.

A full charge required twelve hours.

It definitely wouldn't be fully charged before the third Anomaly Tide, but charging halfway should definitely be enough.

After all, it was noon now. Any later, and it probably wouldn't be able to maintain the current fifty percent charging efficiency.

But it still added another method to their arsenal.

Little did he know, Chen Ye's action of driving the Monster Pickup Truck outside the shelter had been watched the entire time by Xu Lina.

Looking at this vehicle that seemed somewhat different again, Xu Lina felt a deep sense of apprehension in her heart.

She knew very well how this vehicle had transformed from a tricycle, no, from a 28-inch Bicycle into its current form.

Within this convoy, not to mention ordinary people, every Superhuman had their own little secrets.

Squad Leader Chu had the most secrets, and they were the most mysterious.

But if you asked which was the most unfathomable, it was Chen Ye's secret.

His method of turning a 28-inch Bicycle into the current Monster Pickup Truck was what was most intimidating.

This was also one of the reasons why Xu Lina, even after becoming a Superhuman, still didn't have the courage to treat Chen Ye with a normal mindset.

In her view, this method was even more intimidating than Sequence Superpowers.

Although people in the convoy usually didn't discuss this issue, it didn't mean they didn't think about it.
