Chapter 121 Flooded Tree House
The heavy rain continued, but the frequency of thunder became significantly less frequent after the event started.
Silver King and Mimi also came to the window. The huge tornado outside made them very curious. They kept lying by the window and looked out, but they didn't seem to be afraid.
Perhaps the mutated beasts have the ability to predict danger. They do not feel the crisis from this huge tornado, so they are not afraid.
"Ugh! Uh-huh!" Coco stood on the window sill, pointing at the tornado outside and explaining to the two beasts.
Xu Xinke couldn't understand what they were saying, so he shook his head and looked below the tree house.
"...The water level is rising too fast."
The water level under the tree house continued to rise, completely submerging the newly grown saplings under the water. The outside of the tree house seemed to have turned into a vast ocean, and the water level had reached nearly four meters by visual inspection.
"Oh my god, the tornado outside is so scary!"
"Don't worry, didn't you see what Boss Ji Chaoyang said just now? The boss said that this tornado will not attack us, and it might even bring us treasures."
"I don't dare to ask for any more treasures. It would be nice to survive..."
"There is still a jungle outside now, it is completely a sea!"
Xu Xin scrolled up and found that Ji Chaoyang had sent the thoughts of the group to the other survivors, telling them not to worry too much about the tornado, and asking them to try their best to move things to higher floors first.
"But the water outside is rising too fast!"
"It's over, it's over, it's about to reach the window, and the water is about to enter the tree house!"
"What should I do? What should I do? Even the treehouse is about to be flooded. There is water outside, and there is no place to stand. I can't swim..."
These people who are complaining should all be people who did not get the tree house level +1 reward in the last dungeon activity. They only have one low tree house.
If this level of the treehouse were flooded, they would literally be homeless.
The water outside is close to four meters, but the lowest point of the low tree house is only three meters, and the bottom edge of the window is only about four meters from the ground. It seems that if the water level outside continues to rise, these low tree houses will The treehouse is bound to get water and eventually be flooded.
These people couldn't even add windows to their treehouses. The glass windows and other treehouse facilities he made were the abilities brought to him by the [Treehouse Transformation Contract] in the silver treasure chest. Except for everyone in the [Explorers], others do not have such abilities yet.
If wooden windows are useful, Xu Xin has so much wood that he can make a bunch of wooden windows on site to help everyone, and collect some wool by the way, but wooden windows have gaps, and it is obviously impossible to block the torrent outside, and they are closed Glass windows might work.
But there was nothing he could do about the glass windows, there wasn't that much material.
"Fortunately, I have a second floor. If the first floor gets flooded, you can go to the second floor to avoid it."
"Brothers and sisters on the second floor, move all your things to the second floor quickly, the first floor will be flooded soon!"
"The move has been completed a long time ago. I will do whatever the boss says. Now I can only pray that the water level will not reach the second floor."
"After being flooded, I'm afraid everyone will lose contact..."
Xu Xin was not panicked at all. His bottom floor was ten meters long, and the top floor was even more than twenty meters high. If even he was submerged, then everyone would die.
"Damn it, the water is coming in! It's coming in! It's really going to flood!"
"It's no use piling up cabinets. I can't seal the window at all!"
The heavy rain outside was still pouring down like a waterfall, and the water level was rising rapidly.
"Everyone, we can only go to the roof. Hold on to the roots. The tree house can take us to the roof. We can only go there to avoid it first!"
"But the rain outside is also too heavy. After being exposed to the rain all day and night, I get colds, fevers, and hypothermia..."
"Then what else can we do! I'm going out first, everyone, take care!"
"I'll go too!"
"Hey, when I was seven or eight years old, I loved running around in the rain. Being caught in the rain is nothing!"
"Better than drowning!"
As time goes by, the water level outside has reached a depth of five to six meters, and the first floor of the low tree house should have been completely submerged.
Fortunately, after reaching this height, the water level did not continue to rise.
Although the heavy rain continued, Xu Xin could clearly feel that the rain outside was much lighter, at least it was no longer like a waterfall, making it impossible to stand firm in the rain.
"Is the surrounding environment stable?" Xu Xin looked at the tornado outside. The tornado at this time was still so terrifying and had not changed much.
Looking around, the original jungle was like a vast sea, and his tree house was the only island in the sea.
Um? Something's wrong...
Xu Xin frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and her eyelids jumped.
Where have those hills to the northwest gone?
Those hills are at least tens of meters high and cannot be submerged!
Gone? You... ran away?
Xu Xin took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it further.
It was useless to think about it carefully. If those hills were really disguised by a group of monsters as he imagined last time, then there was nothing he could do at all.
Fortunately, the tornado is in the southwest. If he really wants to go to the tornado to hunt for treasure, he doesn't have to go near the original hilly resource area.
Today's regional channels have become very deserted. It is the most deserted since the opening of regional channels. For a long time, there was not even a single person speaking.
Thinking about it, most of the survivors currently own small, low treehouses, and the screens in these treehouses are all on the first floor of the treehouse.
The screen is directly embedded in the wall and cannot be transferred at all, so even those who have obtained the +1 bonus for the treehouse level and hid on the second floor of the treehouse can no longer communicate through the screen.
The only people who can still communicate today are probably the few people in their [Explorer] organization who own watches, and some others who planted the original two-story tree house.
At this time, someone suddenly sent a message on the regional channel: "Is anyone still here?"
This information appeared on the regional channel that had not been used for a long time, directly attracting Xu Xin's attention.
He directly revealed his real name: Qi Zixuan.
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched. This name seemed a bit familiar. He seemed to be...Qi Xuefei's younger brother? The person who is actually leading the [Xuan Hu Ji Shi] organization now?
Qi Xuefei said in the group before that because each survivor can only join one group chat at present, she joined [Explorer] after quitting [Xuanhu Jishi], and now she is coordinating in [Xuanhu Jishi] It's her brother Qi Zixuan.
"Someone."
"I'm still here."
A few scattered people bubbled up. None of them are anonymous, after all, anonymity means nothing these days.
These names Xu Xin all look familiar, they are all regulars in the top dozens of rankings.
"I am one of the organizers of [Xuan Hu Ji Shi]. I just want to tell you that there is no need to worry about getting caught in the rain or being in the water for too long, which will cause fever or hypothermia. Our organization has already deployed a system to deal with this. If you need any medicine, you can buy it from me.”
oh?
Xu Xin asked Qi Xuefei before the event. She said that the medicine has been made, but it needs to be strengthened with the new materials from yesterday and she will be given another day. I think the medicines sold by Qi Zixuan are finished medicines that have not been enhanced.
At this time, Qi Xuefei also spoke in the [Explorer] group: "If you have any needs, you can contact me directly. However, this batch of drugs has not been optimized. Although it will be effective after taking it, it will cause weakness for a period of time. Please purchase and use with caution.”
Will it cause weakness after taking it?
This is not the first time Xu Xin has seen this effect. The [Slimming Pill (Blue)] in the points mall has this negative effect in its introduction. After taking it, it will make you weak for a whole day.
Since there are clear negative effects, it seems that Qi Xuefei has really made a medicine with properties that is recognized by the treehouse system.
Xu Xin sent a private message to Qi Xuefei: "How long will your weakness last after taking this medicine?"
Qi Xuefei: "I don't know. The introduction just said that I will be weak for a while."
Xu Xin thought for a moment and said: "Give me a drug that has not been optimized yet."
Qi Xuefei: "Okay, this is just a trial. The effect is really not very good. After this event is over, the real finished product will be completed."
The other party initiated the transaction and gave him a pill as a gift.
[Ordinary pills (green): Taking them can instantly cure common diseases within three days, but will make the body weak for two hours after the cure. 】
His discernment was able to tell that the period of weakness was two hours.
It can cure diseases suffered within three days. This effect is not weak. Although it will be weak for two hours, it can be regarded as a very valuable drug. It is not like the weight loss pill (blue) that will be weak for a whole day. The two hours can be spent in sleep at night.
"What is the scope of this common disease?" Xu Xin asked.
"Actually, I don't know for sure. After all, it has just been produced and has not gone through any clinical trials. However, colds, fevers, hypothermia and the like are definitely no problem. In fact, I originally wanted to at least understand these before selling them. Who knows that Zixuan took it out on his own initiative, so let you try it out first.”
So he is actually a guinea pig, right?
But it's not a big problem, at least his discernment ability has told him all the pros and cons of this pill.
This Qi Xuefei really created a very useful medicine! Making this kind of medicine must be her special ability, and you must be friends with her.
After getting the pills that could cure the disease, Xu Xin no longer had much to worry about.
Looking out the window at the tornado that was still spinning, he took a deep breath.
Maybe it's time to go out and take a look. (End of chapter)
