The convoy didn’t suffer any losses.

When the wraiths attacked, all the survivors from the convoy had taken shelter in the houses specially prepared for them by the village.

This could be considered a fortunate coincidence.

However, the losses for Divine Elephant Village were devastating.

The village was pretty much completely destroyed.

When they finally tallied the surviving population,

the village that once had a thousand people was now down to only six or seven hundred.

The people from the convoy had originally wanted to join Divine Elephant Village.

Now, they all abandoned that idea.

Still, when Divine Elephant Village began its reconstruction, the convoy survivors did participate.

You could see their figures among those carrying and lifting things.

Regarding the matter of those eighteen temporary superhumans that day,

there was also some discussion within the convoy.

No helping it, even if they were temporary superhumans, they still couldn’t help but draw their attention.

According to Chu Che’s speculation, those eighteen people had only received an infusion of the Divine Elephant’s anomalous power, briefly gaining supernatural abilities.

Of course, the external manifestation of these supernatural powers didn’t originate from the Divine Elephant.

For example, each of these eighteen people had different abilities.

As for which pathway or sequence they belonged to…

even Chu Che couldn’t figure it out right away.

Some seemed to be from supernatural pathways, others from close-combat pathways…

But based on what was seen on the battlefield at the time, the auras of these temporary superhumans were all somewhat strange, very different from normal superhumans like Chen Ye and the others.

Chu Che speculated that the Divine Elephant’s anomalous power was only responsible for activating the traits within these people’s bodies. As for what sequence they would ultimately manifest, it probably had nothing to do with the Divine Elephant itself.

Of course, Chu Che also wrote down what he saw today and his speculations in his notebook.

He even specifically took out a new notebook to record this, keeping it separate from his original notes.

With the village in this situation, the convoy people naturally couldn’t just leave.

Iron Lion woke up after just one night of sleep.

The injuries on this guy’s body weren’t fully healed.

But he was already present at the Divine Elephant Village reconstruction site.

This guy’s work capacity was practically comparable to heavy machinery.

A workload that would take several people a whole day, he alone finished in just an hour.

Chen Ye was also helping with Divine Elephant Village’s reconstruction.

His Hatred machete was also put to great use.

Whenever there was a need for cutting, Hatred would take care of it all.

Whether it was rebar, threaded steel, bricks, or stones,

in front of Hatred, there was no difference.

Chen Ye actually wanted to just hand Hatred over to someone else to use directly, saving himself from running around everywhere.

As for whether someone might run off with it,

Chen Ye wasn’t worried at all.

Unfortunately, when an ordinary villager eagerly tried, just as he took Hatred, crimson threads sprouted from the scabbard, seemingly about to devour this ordinary person.

Scared out of his wits, the guy scrambled away.

In the end, Chen Ye had to become the cutter at this reconstruction site.

As for Sun Xixi…

Forget about it, that Fire Dragon Sword of hers is far too precious.

Ding Dong was also badly injured in this battle.

Although she wasn’t on the main battlefield, seeing the injuries on her body made it clear this fight wasn’t easy for her either.

Fortunately, at the Planting Base, it was just her and that Professor Liu, two living people.

They weren’t specifically targeted by the wraiths.

Of course, as a Fist Master Sequence user, Ding Dong’s recovery ability couldn’t compare to a freak like Iron Lion, but it was still much stronger than Chen Ye and the others.

Dying was out of the question.

Chu Che, that guy, even specially gave her a bit of diluted Death God Blood Tears to drink.

Her recovery speed wasn’t bad either.

Only then did Chen Ye realize that Chu Che, that old sly fox, had actually hidden away quite a bit of diluted Blood Tears.

After this battle, Chen Ye also took a look at his currently accumulated Slaughter Points.

The Slaughter Points had actually reached 219,000 at one point.

The battlefield seemed intense and complex, but the whole process wasn’t very long.

It didn’t drag on for days and nights either.

Later on, Chen Ye was mainly responsible for defense, using Smoke Breath to simulate Crawlers to prevent the wraiths from breaking through the blockade line to kill ordinary people.

The battle was so fierce at the time, Chen Ye simply didn’t have the mind to check exactly how many Slaughter Points he had.

If only he had taken one more look back then, he could have farmed a bit more Slaughter Points.

This number made Chen Ye feel quite uncomfortable for a moment.

You have to understand, he currently needed to upgrade two items.

First was the newly acquired “Qi Devouring Technique,” which required 20,000 Slaughter Points.

The other was the Monster Pickup Truck;
upgrading it required 200,000 Slaughter Points.

That added up to 220,000 Slaughter Points.

This created an awkward situation, being just a little short.

Chen Ye wanted to borrow a bit more from the System, but the System displayed that Chen Ye’s credit was already blacklisted, disqualifying him from borrowing.

This left Chen Ye momentarily speechless.

But it was also fortunate that the shortfall was only a thousand Slaughter Points;
he could just find an Anomaly to farm a bit later.

As for the choice, Chen Ye of course chose to upgrade the Qi Devouring Technique first.

20,000 Slaughter Points were deducted.

The upgrade countdown showed it would take 72 hours.

That’s three days.

The Apocalyptic Pickup Truck would just have to be postponed a bit;
it wouldn’t take too long anyway.

“Wow~~~”

“This is… supernatural power? Xie Huai, you… you’re a superhuman?”

Exclamations of surprise came from the construction site.

A superhuman?

Chen Ye walked into the crowd.

He saw Chu Che, that guy, had arrived almost as quickly as he did.

The crowd surrounded a young man whose face clearly showed signs of malnutrition.

The young man looked about twenty years old, with delicate, pretty-boy features.

The expression on the young man’s face was complex—surprise, disbelief, and a look like he wanted to cry.

He stared at his own hands in disbelief.

In front of him was a three-dimensional projection-like architectural design blueprint.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ye understood immediately.

This should be an auxiliary sequence related to construction.

Next to them stood a wall that looked like it had just been built, straight and level, about three meters high.

Based on the chatter from the people around,

Chen Ye understood.

This young man had just been clearing away broken bricks and stones, moving them to a designated area.

Suddenly, this three-dimensional projection of an architectural design blueprint appeared in front of the young man.

Then, the discarded construction materials nearby started moving on their own.

In just a few seconds, a wall appeared.

“The Village Chief is here, the Village Chief is here!”

The crowd stirred.

They saw the big-headed Village Chief with his graying hair come before this young man called Xie Huai.

Chen Yonggu knew Xie Huai.

During the earlier selection process, Xie Huai was one of the earlier ones to raise his hand and volunteer.

But he was too skinny, so Chen Yonggu had rejected him.

He just never expected that he could awaken on his own.

This was simply… unbelievable.

He truly hadn’t anticipated this.

“What sequence?”

Chen Yonggu’s voice couldn’t hide his excitement.

Xie Huai was startled awake by the Village Chief’s voice. He looked up at the Village Chief, his voice filled with unprecedented joy, “Village Chief, I… I… Architect Sequence 1, Home Builder!”
