Night fell again.

Night always falls quickly on a deserted island, and the temperature drops sharply.

However, the campsite was unusually warm today. The grandmothers had already snuggled into the down sleeping bags that Jiang Che had conjured up last night and were sleeping soundly.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the safe house.

Jiang Che and Liu Wenying, however, seemed somewhat uncomfortable.

The two of them had been scrambling through the forest that day, enduring intense fighting and running, their bodies covered in sweat and mud. Especially after killing the three highly venomous spiders, although Jiang Che dodged quickly, the lingering venomous vapor in the air still left a pungent, fishy stench on them.

"I can't take it anymore, I feel sticky all over, it's so uncomfortable." Liu Wenying tugged at the collar of her tight dress, her brows furrowed.

For a stunningly beautiful mature woman who has returned to her eighteen-year-old self and loves beauty, this kind of filth is more unbearable than a monster.

Jiang Che also felt an intense itch all over his body.

He thought for a moment, then took out several long wooden sticks and two large pieces of thick, waterproof, and windproof tarpaulin from his dimensional space. These were all supplies he had obtained from the gift pack clothing blind boxes.

In a corner deep inside the safe house, he built a makeshift, completely enclosed "bathroom" using wooden sticks and tarpaulin. Then he filled a large bucket with purified water using the water purifier and heated it to a warm temperature in a rice cooker.

"Go in and take a shower. I'll keep watch outside for you," Jiang Che said to Liu Wenying as he carried warm water into the makeshift bathroom.

Liu Wenying's eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed a clean change of clothes and crawled inside.

Soon, the sound of water dripping could be heard from behind the tarpaulin.

Jiang Che leaned against the tarpaulin, listening to the sound of water flowing inside. Liu Wenying's graceful figure involuntarily appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt his throat dry and his blood began to flow faster against his will.

Just then, Liu Wenying's somewhat annoyed voice suddenly came from inside the tarpaulin.

"oops!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Che immediately turned around and asked alertly. Could it be that bugs got into the bathroom?

"I...I took the wrong clothes." Liu Wenying's voice came through the oilcloth, carrying a hint of shyness that was rare for her.

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment before realizing that Liu Wenying had only taken in a large coat and had not taken any underwear.

"Wait a moment."

Jiang Che immediately retrieved a set of clean undergarments from his dimensional space. He walked to the edge of the oilcloth and slightly lifted it up.

"Hold out your hand." Jiang Che turned his head away, trying his best not to look at the spring scenery inside.

However, what emerged from the gap was not a hand to take the clothes.

A slender, pale, damp arm, glistening with water droplets, suddenly gripped Jiang Che's wrist. Immediately following, a tremendous force surged through him.

Jiang Che had no intention of resisting, and was thus pulled into the small, steamy, makeshift bathroom.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Che bumped into a warm, moist embrace.

Liu Wenying was not wearing any clothes. Her beautiful face was flushed red in the steam, and her eyes were sparkling like a ripe peach.

"You..." Jiang Che was about to speak.

Liu Wenying had already put her arms around his neck and said in a sweet breath, "You've been dirty all day, let's wash together. Besides... there are some parts of your back that I can't reach, let me scrub them for you."

The bathroom was already cramped, and the two were pressed tightly together. This unobstructed contact, coupled with the extremely ambiguous atmosphere, instantly ignited a fire in Jiang Che's heart.

He understood Liu Wenying's thoughts perfectly well.

Besides genuinely wanting to help each other with cleaning, more importantly, they all needed strength!

The beast tide three days later was like a sword hanging over their heads. Jiang Che's SSS-level talent was their only way to acquire resources and strength. Only by constantly triggering their talent could they gain more trump cards in this disaster.

This is not just about desire, but also about a shared understanding for survival.

"You asked for this yourself."

Jiang Che's eyes became deep and fiery. He wrapped his arms around Liu Wenying's slender waist and lowered his head to kiss her fiercely.

Outside the bathroom, the wooden cabin was silent. The old women seemed to be sleeping even more soundly, and no one bothered to disturb the sounds coming from the corner.

Accompanied by the sound of water and suppressed humming, the temperature inside the makeshift bathroom continued to rise.

I don't know how much time passed.

The system's notification sound rang out precisely and frantically in this confined space.

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

[Host Jiang Che, your physical abilities have broken through the current bottleneck! Strength +20, Constitution +20, Nerve Reaction Speed ​​increased to 180%!]

[Target: Liu Wenying, received deep nourishment of her talent attributes! Agility +15, Strength +10!]

[Random reward generation in progress...]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 5 Beginner Stamina Restoration Potions!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: Steel-Reinforced City Wall Blueprint Upgrade Pack x1!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 100 Thunder Element Arrows (with area-of-effect paralysis and explosion effects)!]

The generous reward reassured Jiang Che once again. Especially the 100 Thunder Element Arrows; paired with the Repeating Crossbow Tower or Liu Wenying's Composite Bow, they would be an absolute godsend against hordes of beasts!

After showering.

The two changed into clean and refreshing clothes and walked out looking refreshed.

After the in-depth exchange and feedback on their talents, the two not only shook off the fatigue of the day, but also felt full of explosive power, and their mental state was at its best.

……

The next morning.

Dawn breaks over the deserted island.

The grandmothers woke up one after another and came out of the safe house. When they saw the two menacing heavy crossbow towers on the wall and the dense array of poisoned spikes outside the wall, they were once again shocked by Jiang Che's work.

The entire camp has now been completely transformed into a small war fortress!

"Xiao Jiang, Grandma Li and the others are already roasting meat jerky, preparing it as a backup food ration." Liu Wenying walked to Jiang Che's side and handed him a bowl of steaming hot minced meat porridge.

Jiang Che took the porridge, took a sip, and was about to arrange today's cleaning work.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the depths of the forest, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

Jiang Che subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the sky.

It was early morning, the sun should have been shining brightly on the earth. However, an extremely strange scene appeared in the sky.

At the edge of the azure sky, the outline of a huge full moon, which shouldn't be visible during the day, hung faintly in the air.

What was most terrifying was that the edge of the full moon had begun to show a faint, extremely oppressive blood red color!

An invisible aura of chilling dread and rage began to permeate the air above the entire deserted island.

Not only Jiang Che, but all the busy grandmothers also stopped what they were doing and stared at the strange celestial phenomenon in the sky with pale faces.

In the upper right corner of everyone's gaze, the blood-red countdown was relentlessly ticking.

[48 hours remaining until the first catastrophic event – ​​the Blood Moon Beast Tide]

Only two days left!

That blood moon was like a demon's eye slowly opening, silently reminding everyone on this deserted island.
