Soon, Chen Ye's 160-liter fuel tank was filled to the brim.

Chen Ye then grabbed the two large water jugs.

Each jug held nineteen liters, and together, the two jugs added up to thirty-eight liters.

Chen Ye also found a few of those larger bottled-water containers—the kind sold in bulk at supermarkets.

Each of those containers held about five liters.

There was still some leftover drinking water stored in these containers from before.

Chen Ye simply dumped all the drinking water out.

They were heading to Xi City soon, and the south shouldn't be short on water anyway.

Chen Ye managed to find five of those five-liter containers.

All five containers were filled to the brim with gasoline.

All told, aside from filling his vehicle's 160-liter tank, Chen Ye now had sixty-three liters of gasoline in reserve.

Chen Ye looked at the now-full containers and couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

Clearly, this gas station still had plenty of fuel in reserve.

Unfortunately, he could only store this much for now.

There were some leftover five-hundred-milliliter water bottles and drink bottles.

But even if he filled every single one of them to the brim, it probably wouldn't amount to much.

He still needed to save some room for other supplies.

After all, he couldn't use every single container just for storing gasoline.

Even though Chen Ye predicted that water wouldn't be scarce in the south, he still needed to keep some reserves.

He looked up and saw Chu Che leaning lazily against his modified off-road vehicle, a smirk on his face.

The fuel nozzle was still firmly inserted into the tank, clearly indicating that his tank wasn't full yet.

"Seriously, how many liters is your fuel tank?"

Chen Ye finally couldn't hold back and asked.

This guy never seemed to run out of fuel. Every time someone else in the convoy ran low, they always had to borrow from him!

And because of that, this guy had made a nice profit from this little business.

Chu Che let out a snicker. "Not telling you!"

"Squad Leader Chu, you don't actually have some kind of space ring or something, do you?"

Chen Ye suspiciously scanned Chu Che's fingers and neck.

Naturally, he didn't see anything.

Chu Che scoffed. "You've been reading too many cultivation novels!"

Chen Ye rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

That guy definitely had some kind of storage Wonder.

Otherwise, how could he...

To Chen Ye's surprise, Sun Xixi's vehicle was also still refueling.

Clearly, everyone had started around the same time. Both of them hadn't finished filling up yet, while Chen Ye's vehicle was already full.

Sun Xixi had even brought out several metal jerry cans.

Those fuel cans were much larger than Chen Ye's water jugs.

Each one looked like it held about forty liters.

Chen Ye silently returned to the Monster Pickup Truck and opened the System.

The newly found fuel tank had a capacity of about sixty liters.

If he used it to upgrade the Monster Pickup Truck's fuel tank, then Chen Ye would end up with a two-hundred-and-twenty-liter tank.

The System's proposed cost was three thousand Slaughter Points.

That was exactly the amount of Slaughter Points he'd earned from dealing with the Raincoat Anomaly back in the village.

Without hesitation, Chen Ye confirmed the upgrade.

Honestly, Chen Ye would have preferred to have Gong Yong do the job.

But clearly, the Monster Pickup Truck was currently a Wonder—and one with a ranking under one thousand.

Gong Yong couldn't do it.

Not even adding the newly salvaged battery to the Monster Pickup Truck was something Gong Yong could handle.

According to Gong Yong, the Monster Pickup Truck could no longer be considered purely a machine. It was something else entirely.

If it were a low-grade Wonder, Gong Yong might have been able to do something.

But the Monster Pickup Truck's ranking was too high, and his ability wasn't enough.

Once the upgrade was complete, he could pour all sixty-three liters of reserve gasoline into the tank.

Not far away, Gong Yong had already started modifying Bus Number Five and Bus Number Six.

He had obtained a total of one sixty-liter fuel tank and two sixty-liter batteries.

There was no helping it—that guy's speed was far faster than Chen Ye's.

That guy's understanding of machinery far surpassed ordinary people. In fact, it had reached a level that normal people couldn't comprehend.

What seemed like an incredibly complex structure to ordinary people.

To him, it was as simple as one plus one equals two.

In the apocalypse, the most important thing during migration was resource stockpiling.

Whether it was electrical reserves, fuel reserves, or other supplies.

Clearly, both Chu Che and Gong Yong understood this.

In fact, Gong Yong was even planning to get some solar charging panels to install on Bus Number Five and Bus Number Six, creating a solar charging system.

It wasn't that Gong Yong was trying to imitate Chen Ye.

After all, any normal person would think of this method.

The convoy stayed at the gas station for over three hours.

They didn't exactly move the entire station.

But anything else that could be taken, they took.

Everyone in the convoy had smiles on their faces.

When night fell.

The convoy finally found a suitable place to camp.

This time, the chosen campsite was an unfinished building.

The structure was about five or six stories high, but only the most basic framework had been erected. The walls and such hadn't even been built yet.

Scattered around the area were some building materials.

While the rest of the convoy busied themselves with camp setup.

The Monster Pickup Truck's fuel tank upgrade was also completed.

The Monster Pickup Truck's fuel tank capacity had increased from the previous one hundred and sixty liters to two hundred and twenty liters.

Chen Ye crouched down and could see a large new fuel tank attached to the bottom of the Monster Pickup Truck.

But the Monster Pickup Truck was also much larger than an average pickup truck, so this big tank could still fit.

In fact, there was even some room to spare.

It seemed the design allowed for further upgrades to the fuel tank in the future.

Chen Ye poured the reserve gasoline from the containers into the tank.

After all, storing gasoline in plastic containers could never be as reassuring as seeing the fuel gauge indicator reach full.

Next up was upgrading the Monster Pickup Truck's electrical storage.

Fortunately, he already had a large battery salvaged from another vehicle.

This battery had a capacity of about sixty kilowatt-hours.

If it were installed onto the Monster Pickup Truck, the entire vehicle would have seventy-two kilowatt-hours of electrical storage.

That would greatly alleviate Chen Ye's range anxiety.

Unfortunately, Chen Ye didn't have many Slaughter Points left at the moment, so upgrading the electrical storage would have to wait until next time.

And then there was that large blade Ding Shen had given him, the Tangled Remnant Limb, and the Resentment Dragon Scale...

All these things needed Slaughter Points.

To be converted into combat power.

Slaughter Points... there would never be enough.

Night fell.

The blood moon appeared in the sky once more.

A blood-colored film once again blanketed the world between heaven and earth.

Having grown accustomed to the blood moon's presence, everyone didn't find it uncomfortable anymore.

They just had to be careful not to stare directly at it.

In fact, having survived the Eternal Night, many people had actually developed a sense of closeness to the blood moon.

Especially Chen Ye.

Whenever the blood moon appeared, Chen Ye would feel a rare sense of safety.

As if, as long as the blood moon was there, he had a solid foundation.

Chen Ye began practicing the Blood Moon First Set of Broadcast Calisthenics.

By now, the convoy members had long since grown used to Chen Ye's strange and eccentric behavior.

With each movement Chen Ye made, the energy of the blood moon was absorbed bit by bit into his body. Then, following his movements, it was channeled into his left hand.

Chen Ye could clearly feel that his left hand had become much stronger these past few days.

At first, he thought it was just his imagination.

But as his practice of the Blood Moon First Set of Broadcast Calisthenics deepened, this feeling became more and more pronounced.

Just like earlier today when he cut apart the car's fuel tank. He hadn't used much effort at all to flip that vehicle over.

It seemed this Blood Moon First Set of Broadcast Calisthenics was also a method of body training.

At its highest level, it might even grant the same kind of immense strength as the Titan Sequence.

However, Chen Ye could also sense that this training method greatly benefited his Supernatural Power.

After only a few days of practice.

Chen Ye felt that the Supernatural Power within him had become much more lively.

If the blood moon appeared every day.

And he had this training effect every day.

Then by the time he reached Xi City, even if he hadn't fully advanced to Sequence Four...

He'd probably be close enough.

And at that moment.

Chu Che, who was secretly sipping tea inside his tent, suddenly raised his head. He looked out through the tent's window, gazing into the distance beneath the blood moon.

There...

It looked like a convoy was coming.
