The upgrade was complete!

Chen Ye saw this line of information prompt appear before his eyes, a slight curve lifting the corner of his mouth.

Originally, he had planned to go settle accounts with Chu Che, but now that the vehicle upgrade was finished, he might as well go check on the car's condition first.

After all, Chu Che wasn't going anywhere.

Chen Ye's vehicle was parked slightly farther away from the others, so he wasn't worried about being noticed.

Even if he was noticed, Chen Ye didn't care.

So many strange things had already happened since the apocalypse began;what did it matter if something a little odd happened to him?

Were these survivors planning to film a video and post it online to expose him or something?

The biggest change to the upgraded Apocalyptic Pickup Truck was still the cargo box.

Previously, Chen Ye had just found a cargo box that looked roughly the right size and forcibly cut it down with his machete to install it.

Saying "install" was generous;it was really just placed on the truck bed and tied down with some ropes.

But now, this cargo box had perfectly fused with the Apocalyptic Pickup Truck.

It looked like an original factory part.

When Chen Ye originally got this truck bed, he had intended to carve out a place to rest at night.

Therefore, the entire length of the truck bed was two and a half meters.

Chen Ye inspected this brand new cargo box, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

He even planned to install a bed inside the cargo box later, so he wouldn't have to set up a tent in harsh conditions.

For example, during the heavy snow before, Chen Ye still had to sleep outside. Even as a Superhuman, it was quite an ordeal.

During the upgrade, Chen Ye also had the system connect the cargo box to the cab.

From now on, the cab and the cargo box would be accessible to each other.

If he encountered any situation, he could go directly from the cargo box into the cab and drive off.

With the cargo box, future supplies gained a bit more secrecy.

In the future, if he had things he didn't want others to see that needed upgrading, he could just put them directly in the cargo box.

One side of the cargo box could even open completely, forming a side awning next to the vehicle.

To maintain air circulation inside the vehicle, Chen Ye had also asked the system to design a side vent window.

Opening it would allow air inside the vehicle to exchange with the outside air.

When not needed, it could also maintain the light level inside the vehicle.

When privacy was needed, he could draw the curtains, ensuring things inside weren't seen by others.

Chen Ye was very satisfied with this cargo box upgrade.

Checking the fuel tank, its current capacity was much larger than before.

Combined with the previous fuel tank and the two fuel tanks he took from other vehicles this morning, he now had three fuel tanks in total.

The total capacity reached around two hundred liters.

This also ensured that during future long-distance migrations, his fuel anxiety would be solved.

Avoiding situations where, due to lack of fuel, he might be forced to do something cruel...

As for the headlights...

Currently, apart from looking rather battered and worn, this vehicle was ultimately developing in a good direction.

During an apocalypse migration, the most important thing is the vehicle.

A good vehicle doesn't just increase survival chances in the apocalypse;it also improves the comfort of life during it.

You should know, even Chu Che and Sun Xixi, those two also spent plenty of nights sleeping in their car.

When the weather was so cold before, these two slept in their car.

Sun Xixi's vehicle was reportedly found by her in the parking garage of another villa in their villa area.

The Pink-haired Girl's original family conditions were very good;they lived in a villa.

Therefore, finding a modified off-roader in the villa area was quite reasonable.

As for Squad Leader Chu Che's vehicle, this guy never mentioned how he got it.

Chen Ye expressed great satisfaction with the System's work.

"Help! Help!"

Just as Chen Ye was about to go find Chu Che to divide the spoils, he heard desperate, shrill cries for help coming from the lakeside.

Chen Ye looked up and saw a large fish in the lake had swallowed half the body of a woman standing at the shore, leaving only a pair of legs flailing wildly outside.

Before Chen Ye could react, Iron Lion, who was closest, had already charged over.

Iron Lion jumped into the water, and before the big fish could drag the woman deeper, he grabbed its gills and directly flipped the big fish from the water onto the shore.

A group of survivors shouted and brandished their weapons, attacking the still-thrashing big fish.

The survivors' weapons were a motley assortment.

Some held kitchen knives, some had sharpened steel pipes, and others simply had a baseball bat.

Most of these weapons were picked up while gathering supplies.

Although crude, they were still important assets for the survivors.

While these weapons were useless against Anomalies and Superhumans, they still posed a certain threat to other people.

Chen Ye had never paid attention to the ordinary survivors' weapons, but that didn't mean they didn't have any.

Even he himself had managed to get a Hand Crossbow back in the day.

Regarding their privately hoarded weapons, Chu Che maintained an indifferent attitude.

By the time Iron Lion frantically pulled the woman from the fish's mouth, she was already on her last breath, half her body nearly bitten off by the big fish.

A girl wearing a red cartoon long-sleeved T-shirt lay on top of the woman, wailing and crying.

Clearly, she was very close to this girl.

Iron Lion also stood by the woman's side, looking very sad.

"I should have been faster, just a little faster, and she wouldn't have died!"

Chen Ye patted Iron Lion's shoulder. "This isn't your fault. Even if you were faster, you couldn't have saved her!"

This minor incident reminded everyone that although this place looked beautiful, they must not forget: it was now the apocalypse!!!

Nowhere in the apocalypse was safe.

Although everyone was saddened by one death, after just a few minutes, the atmosphere in the camp returned to normal.

Except for the dead woman's close friend, who was still crying very sadly.

Xue Nan had a few survivors dig a large pit by the lakeside to serve as the woman's grave.

After the woman's appearance was slightly tidied up, she was laid flat in the pit.

Everyone held a simple funeral.

Just like that, in less than an hour, almost all traces of this woman's existence were wiped clean.

Apart from a small mound of earth added by the lake, it was as if that woman had never existed.

Even with such an incident, Chu Che did not change today's camping location.

Chen Ye saw Chu Che take a stick and walk to the center of the camp, staking it into the ground.

An inverted, transparent light curtain descended, signifying that the convoy would camp here for the next three days.

No one voiced any objection.

Squad Leader Chu must have his reasons for doing this.

Chu Che sensed the energy of this big fish. Apart from being abnormally large, he didn't detect any Anomalous aura from it.

He didn't sense any Anomalous aura from this lake either.

If they changed the camping spot now, they wouldn't be able to find such a suitable place with a water source.

At most, they could just tell the survivors to be more careful.

Xue Nan used a loudspeaker to notify everyone not to leave the range of the light curtain.

The convoy assistant, Xiao Wang, was still having people set up tents and prepare dinner.

As for the big fish on the shore, many survivors looked at it, drooling.

Since the apocalypse began until now, forget fish, many people hadn't even smelled it a few times.

Apart from being a bit larger, this fish wasn't much different from other ordinary fish.

After obtaining Xue Nan's permission, several survivors happily carried the fish aside to process it.

Tonight's dinner would feature a fish dish.

Every survivor who ate the fish had a smile on their face.

Except for the few who knew the woman, who were still somewhat sad.

By the bonfire, the Superhumans' dinner today was also quite sumptuous.

Not only was there plain white rice, but each person was also allotted one meat can and one fruit can.

There was also some sausage and cured meat.

And there was a full, large pot of fish meat.

Both Chen Ye and Chu Che did not touch that large pot of fish meat.

Chen Ye thought the fish was too big;it was definitely a bit strange. He'd wait and see if others died after eating it.

If no one died, then he'd eat.

After all, there was plenty of fish meat.

As for Chu Che, he probably thought the same as Chen Ye.

He couldn't stop everyone's desire to eat meat, but at least he could ensure he ate later.

The Pink-haired Girl did not eat the fish meat.

Just thinking about the earlier scene killed her appetite.

As for Iron Lion and Ding Dong... well, these two divided that large pot of fish meat between them.

Even though Ding Dong only had her left arm left, her movements were still swift, her chopsticks flying.

This woman looked quiet, gentle, and very aloof, but when it came to eating meat, she was quite efficient.

As for Iron Lion, this guy wasn't eating a meal;he was pouring bowls into his mouth.

He didn't care about bones or fish bones at all.

If it were before the apocalypse, this guy could have been a mukbang streamer and absolutely made a fortune.

Chen Ye thought he ate pretty fast himself, but before he could finish half a bowl of rice, this guy had already eaten several bowls.

Fortunately, it wasn't the first time they'd eaten together, so this situation was already commonplace.

This meal left the few Superhumans very satisfied.

After the meal, Chu Che actually took out his tea leaves to share.

Other survivors who smelled the wafting tea fragrance greedily sniffed the air.

Chen Ye knew the main event was coming next.

Ding Dong had driven that Panel Van back.

He heard it was even at Chu Che's insistence that she try her best to bring it back.

That meant Squad Leader Chu had been prepared all along.

Inside should be full of supplies.

According to the convoy's rules, even though the main credit belonged to Ding Dong, Chen Ye and the others could still get a share.

And guns!
