……

late at night.

Inside the safe house, the elderly women, exhausted from being on edge, fell asleep early on the makeshift beds on the floor.

Jiang Che sat alone under the eaves outside the wooden house, leaning against the wooden door, toying with a dagger in his hand, his gaze fixed intently on the embers of the campfire.

He was reviewing the situation.

The three-meter-high wooden and stone wall is sturdy, but against a raging horde of beasts, passive defense alone is far from sufficient. Once the monsters pile up, or if a giant monster exceeding three meters in size appears, the wall can easily be breached.

He needs traps, long-range defenses, and more supplies.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

A soft voice interrupted Jiang Che's thoughts.

Liu Wenying had already left the wooden house at some point. She was still wearing the same black, tight-fitting V-neck short dress, but now she had a large windbreaker jacket that Jiang Che had given her over it.

She walked to Jiang Che's side, snuggled into his arms very naturally, and sat on his lap with her legs crossed.

A scent that blends mature charm with youthful freshness wafts over.

Jiang Che naturally wrapped his arms around her slender waist, feeling its amazing softness and elasticity, and said softly, "I'm thinking about the beast tide three days from now. We need more trump cards."

Liu Wenying extended her fair fingers and gently smoothed Jiang Che's slightly furrowed brows. Her peach blossom eyes shone with a gentle tenderness, yet also carried an undisguised fiery passion.

"Want the trump card? That's easy." Liu Wenying leaned close to Jiang Che's ear, her warm breath brushing against his neck, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Your SSS-level talent isn't just for show," Liu Wenying's voice became extremely languid and seductive. "To protect everyone, Xiao Jiang, you'll have to 'work hard' a lot."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and mature woman in his arms, and listening to her seemingly high-sounding yet incredibly straightforward reasons, Jiang Che's blood instantly boiled.

"Since you are so righteous..."

Jiang Che smirked, picked up Liu Wenying, and strode toward a haystack on the side of the wooden house, hidden by the eaves and in a blind spot.

"Then I have no choice but to do my utmost."

The night was dark.

In the shadows beyond the reach of the campfire's dim light, the suppressed breathing and the soft rustling of clothes created a strange symphony on this perilous night on the deserted island.

In this apocalyptic survival game, humanity's most primal instincts and the desire to survive are often intertwined most closely. Every deep exchange is not merely an expression of emotions and desires, but also a means to secure the chance to live tomorrow.

……

More than an hour later.

[SSS-level "Many Children, Many Blessings" effect successfully triggered!]

That familiar, heavenly mechanical voice finally rang in Jiang Che's mind right on time.

Immediately afterwards, a heat stream even purer than the one from the previous night was born out of thin air.

[Host Jiang Che, all attributes have been enhanced! Your muscle density and nerve reaction speed have reached 150% of your current physical limits!]

Jiang Che closed his eyes, his bones cracking like popping beans. He felt his vision had improved to the point where he could see the veins on a leaf ten meters away in the dark, and his hearing could detect the crawling of insects underground. If yesterday he had surpassed a special forces soldier, then now he had begun to transcend the species of "ordinary humans" and was evolving towards becoming a little superhuman.

[Target: Liu Wenying, whose strength and constitution attributes have been significantly improved!]

Liu Wenying was lying limply on Jiang Che's chest. She could clearly feel that her body, which had been a little sore, had instantly returned to its peak under the system's infusion. She was even stronger, and her skin's resistance to blows had been invisibly enhanced.

[Random reward generation in progress...]

Jiang Che held his breath; the main event was about to begin. This was the trump card he desperately needed right now.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: Excellent Blacksmith Forge Blueprint x1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 50 Poisoned Steel Spike Traps!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 5 Miniature Health Recovery Potions!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received: 20 high-quality warm sleeping bags!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received: 10 blind boxes of various vegetable seeds!]

A barrage of rewards flooded the screen, making Jiang Che mentally clench his fist in frustration!

A bumper harvest! An absolutely bumper harvest!

This SSS-level talent is practically a wishing well! He was worried about not having any defensive traps, and the system directly gave him 50 poisoned steel spikes! He was worried about not being able to process the stones and wood, and the system directly gave him a blueprint for a blacksmith's forge!

There are also 20 high-quality warm sleeping bags. With these, grandmothers will no longer have to sleep on hard wooden boards covered with dry grass at night, and their sleep quality will be greatly guaranteed.

Liu Wenying looked up and saw Jiang Che's lips curling into an uncontrollable smile, knowing that he must have gotten something good.

"Look how happy you are, what wonderful treasure did you find?" Liu Wenying reached out and poked Jiang Che's firm chest muscles.

"These are all good things, life-saving things." Jiang Che lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead. "Yinyin, you are truly my lucky star."

The sound of "Yinyin" sent a shiver down Liu Wenying's spine, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"You smooth talker." Liu Wenying rolled her eyes at him, then quickly straightened her clothes and stood up, reverting to her cool and capable demeanor. "Now that you've taken the benefits, get to work. The sooner things are set up, the safer everyone will be."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Che stood up with a smile.

The two divided the work. Jiang Che didn't disturb the grandmothers inside the house, but quietly went to the outside of the wall.

With a thought, 50 steel spikes emitting a faint green glow appeared out of thin air. Each spike was half a meter long, with an extremely sharp tip coated with a deadly venom.

Using his terrifying strength, Jiang Che dug a deep trench three meters outside the wall with his bare hands. He then evenly buried the 50 poisoned ground spikes at the bottom of the trench, and finally covered them with a thin layer of withered leaves and camouflage soil.

If any monsters dare to rush towards the wall, the first wave will collectively fall into this death trap, their feet pierced by the spikes, and they will die from the poison!

After setting the trap, Jiang Che slapped the [Excellent Blacksmith Furnace Blueprint] on the ground in a corner of the camp.

[Consuming 200 stone, 100 wood, and 0 iron ore (not needed for now). Construction successful!]

A stone furnace, over two meters tall and with an ancient and imposing design, rose from the ground. Once Jiang Che finds iron ore or other metals, he can smelt them here to forge more advanced armor and weapons.

By the time all this was done, it was already dawn.

The next morning.

When the grandmothers woke up in the safe house, they were pleasantly surprised to find that each of them had an extra soft, thick, and extremely warm high-quality sleeping bag next to them.

When everyone learned that Jiang Che had done it in the middle of the night, their admiration for him reached its peak.

On this deserted island where even survival is difficult, they actually slept in modern down sleeping bags!
