Chapter 207 Let's go to the shelter
Layla and others served the food for everyone. As Layla and the others served the food to the group, Jude's gaze remained fixed on Alex, his suspicions lingering despite the apparent calmness that had settled over him. Though Alex appeared more subdued and less active than before, Jude couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
As he observed Alex from across the room, Jude noticed the hesitation in his movements, the way he avoided making eye contact with Susan. It was a subtle shift in behavior, yet it spoke volumes to Jude's keen perception.
With a furrowed brow, Jude considered the implications of Alex's subdued demeanor. Could it be a facade, a mask to conceal his true intentions? Or perhaps Alex had indeed been affected by recent events, his confidence shaken by the unseen forces that lurked in the shadows.
As the group enjoyed their meal, Jude remained vigilant, his senses attuned to any signs of deception or manipulation. Though he couldn't be certain of Alex's motives, one thing was clear, he would not let his guard down, not when the fate of their group hung in the balance.
With a steely resolve, Jude continued to watch Alex closely, determined to uncover the truth behind his behavior and protect his fellow survivors from any potential threats that might arise. For in this treacherous landscape, trust was a luxury they could ill afford.
Sophie came to jude and told him that this is not going to work. The newcomers are acting like they have zero intelligence. If they can't live by themselves, how many days Jude and others are supposed to feed them like this. As Sophie approached Jude with her concerns, her frustration was palpable, her words laced with a mix of exasperation and worry.
She spoke of the newcomers' apparent inability to care for themselves, their behavior suggesting a troubling lack of basic survival skills.
"It's just not sustainable," Sophie insisted, her voice tinged with urgency. "If they can't fend for themselves, how are we supposed to keep feeding them like this? We have our own needs to consider."
Jude nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of the situation. The group's resources were finite, and their survival depended on careful management and cooperation. The burden of caring for newcomers who showed little initiative was a strain they could ill afford.
"I agree," Jude replied, his brow furrowing with concern. "We can't continue like this indefinitely. We need to find a solution, whether it's teaching them basic skills or finding another way to support ourselves."
Sophie nodded in agreement, her expression reflecting a mix of determination and apprehension. "We'll figure something out," she said, her voice resolute. "But we can't keep carrying the weight alone."
Jude nodded in silent agreement, grateful for Sophie's insight and resolve. Together, they would confront the challenges ahead and ensure the group's survival, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Jude decided to take them all back to the shelter. As Jude made the decision to relocate everyone back to the shelter, he envisioned the abundance of shelters and treehouses that dotted the landscape, a testament to their collective efforts and perseverance since arriving on the island.
What had once been a makeshift camp had now transformed into a burgeoning village, a testament to their resourcefulness and resilience in the face of adversity.
As he led the group back towards the shelter, Jude felt a sense of pride mixed with nostalgia. Each structure represented a chapter in their survival story, a reminder of the challenges they had overcome and the bonds they had forged along the way.
Arriving at the shelter, Jude surveyed the bustling community of survivors, each one playing a vital role in their shared journey towards stability and security. The air was filled with a sense of purpose and determination, as they worked together to fortify their makeshift village and prepare for the challenges that lay ahead.
With a renewed sense of unity, Jude knew that they had the strength and resilience to overcome whatever obstacles the island presented. Together, they would continue to build their village, turning their makeshift shelters into a place they could truly call home amidst the untamed wilderness.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over their growing village, Jude felt a sense of hope and optimism for the future. They had come a long way since their arrival on the island, and with each passing day, they grew stronger and more resilient in the face of uncertainty.
With determination in his heart, Jude turned to his fellow survivors, ready to face the challenges of tomorrow with unwavering resolve. For they were not just survivors, they were pioneers, carving out a new life in the heart of the unknown, together.

Jude told Alex to tell them to come out of the ship and go with the others to the shelter. As Jude instructed Alex to persuade the newcomers to leave the ship and join the others at the shelter, tensions quickly escalated as resistance mounted. Alex initially balked at Jude's directive, insisting that the newcomers would not be leaving the safety of the ship.
Layla, undeterred by Alex's resistance, attempted to escort one of the newcomers towards the shelter. However, to everyone's shock and dismay, the individual reacted with unexpected aggression, exhibiting behavior akin to that of a wild animal and attempting to attack Layla.
The sudden outburst left the group stunned and apprehensive, raising troubling questions about the nature of the newcomers' condition and the challenges they posed to the safety and stability of the group.
Jude, sensing the gravity of the situation, stepped forward to assess the scene, his mind racing with concerns and potential courses of action. It was clear that simply coaxing the newcomers to leave the ship would not be as straightforward as he had hoped.
With a deep breath and steely resolve, Jude addressed the group, urging calm and caution in the face of uncertainty. The reaction was like Jude's assumptions were right. They are under control of a vampire…
