Chapter 186 A treehouse with survivors
According to Xu Xin's estimate, the distance between his tree house and the previous one is about eleven or twelve kilometers.
Although there may be some deviations in the location where each survivor first plants a tree house, they are all roughly close to the birth point. Therefore, the distance between two adjacent tree houses should mostly be between ten and fifteen kilometers. .
Therefore, if the two tree house protected areas are both six kilometers in radius, the protected areas may be connected together.
His protected area is nine kilometers, which is no problem. Even if the protected areas of the nearby tree houses are only three kilometers, there should be no big problem.
Still have to be careful.
The protected areas are all circular, so even if the protected areas are bordering, there is still some area that is not within the protected areas of both parties and is a dangerous area. These areas are still inaccessible to ordinary survivors.
But as long as he was careful, there would be no problem. He even wanted to go to that place and jump repeatedly to collect vine juice.
Moving in the direction he had determined before, he soon reached the edge of the tree house reserve.
Without rushing out of the protected area, he found a relatively high position, climbed up, and looked in the direction he remembered. Sure enough, there was a banyan tree there, just like the one before.
It is a low, two-story treehouse, a treehouse for ordinary survivors who have explored dungeons.
It’s actually quite normal to find this kind of tree house.
The one-story tree houses are not even as tall as the nearby poplar trees. Even if he had super vision yesterday, these tree houses are hidden in the jungle and he cannot see them at all. What he could see must be a tree house with more than two floors.
After calculating the distance and making sure that he could indeed step into the tree house's protected area after leaving his protected area, Xu Xin confidently turned over on the wolf and headed towards the tree house.
Along the way, resources are still very scarce, and no new alchemical materials have been discovered. Thinking about it, there are no high-end resources near the location where the low tree house is planted.
Silver King moved forward quickly, weaving through the dense jungle, Mimi followed at the same speed, and Ah Fu lay on Mimi's body. Its flying speed is not as fast as Silver King Mimi's running speed, so it can only be carried away.
Coco, on the other hand, has long been completely accustomed to Yin Wang's speed. She no longer lies on the back of Yin Wang's neck, grabbing the hair on the back of his neck and not daring to move, as before, as soon as Yin Wang starts running. Instead, she leans into Xu Xin's arms. The little head twisted around, looking at the scenery passing by on both sides.
Soon, Xu Xin arrived under the tree of the tree house.
"...Is it another broken tree house?"
This tree house is exactly the same as the previous one. The trunk is broken and the leaves are slightly yellowing. It is obvious that it is on the verge of death.
Xu Xin reached out and touched the dilapidated tree house.
[The dying low treehouse (green): A dilapidated treehouse that has lost its owner. A treehouse that loses its owner will dry up and die after 24 hours. The remaining survival time of this treehouse is: 2 hours and 43 minutes. 】
Judging from the time, the owner of this tree house is another survivor who died from the attack of blood-thorn vines and ant colonies last night.
"It seems that Ji Chaoyang's conjecture is right. Our area should be mixed with neighboring areas."
These dead survivors must be people from other areas.
Perhaps it was because no one in their area killed the mutated plant heart, or the people who killed the heart were unwilling to share resources. In short, these survivors failed to stop the attack of the blood-striped vines, and naturally they did not have the ability to kill and eat them. The ants in the tree house can only watch the tree being destroyed and people dying in the end.
Xu Xin climbed into the dilapidated tree house with Coco and dug out the ground in the center of the first floor. Sure enough, there is also a treehouse core, half buried in the soil, and the other half emitting a soft, white light.
"Coco, help me bring up the core."
"Bang!" Coco skillfully jumped into the empty hole in the tree trunk, dug out the core, held it in his mouth, and jumped up from side to side repeatedly.
After touching Coco's little head, Xu Xin took the white orb. Like last time, it could upgrade blue materials to purple materials [Core of the Low Tree House]. In this way, he is equivalent to having two points of purple basic materials, and he will have many more choices when he returns.
The next step is to dig up tree house seeds.
The entire tree house had begun to wither and collapse. Xu Xin quickly scanned the first and second floors. After confirming that there was nothing good, he immediately got down from the tree house. After a few dozen seconds, the low tree house that had lost the core of the tree house was gone. Only half of the trunk was left.
Xu Xin started digging under the tree house with a shovel.
He has a blue-level shovel in his hand. Even so, it still takes more than half an hour to dig out the seeds.
Because this is a tree house whose owner has died, he can do this. As long as there are survivors in the house, it is basically impossible to use coercive means to dig out the tree house seeds. No one would allow a man to dig under his treehouse for half an hour.
Therefore, it is not easy to plunder other people's tree houses. Basically, you need to obtain the owner's consent or kill the owner. For survivors, the tree house is indeed a survival guarantee that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Finally, Xu Xin dug down the tree house and picked up the second [Parasite Tree House Seed] from the pit.
Although he doesn't know yet how to use these extra parasitic tree houses, it is better than nothing. The more the better.
Riding the Silver King, Xu Xin returned to the edge of his protected area and began to search along the edge. Once I find some relatively high hills and peaks, I will go up and have a look and see if there are other tree houses around.
Finally, south of his tree house, he saw another tree house, not far away.
"Yin Wang, over there!" Xu Xin pointed the way, and Yin Wang rushed over there.
Mimi already seemed a little exhausted at this time, and endurance was not its strong point.
"After we pass, let's take a rest."
Soon, Xu Xin approached the tree house.
"Stop!" Xu Xin asked Silver King to stop when he was about a hundred meters away from the tree house.
Mimi immediately lay down on the ground and began to rest. The long-distance running was still too tiring for her.
"Ugh!" Coco suddenly pointed at the tree house less than a hundred meters in front and shouted.
Xu Xin knew what cocoa meant.
With his extraordinary hearing at this time, he had already heard human voices coming from the tree house.
For the first time, I met real humans in this world and survivors of the same world. That's why he stopped Silver King, intending not to disturb the other party, but to listen to what he was saying first and see if this survivor was from their area or from other areas.
"I finally decided to add all the increase in decoration to the plantation house! Mad, I have been hungry all day and night. I don't want to be hungry anymore. From today on, I will be self-sufficient in food!"
"Huh? Kitchen? What's the use of adding a kitchen?"
"Oh oh oh, that's not bad. The rice you make is more filling? That's amazing."
"My fruits are about to ripen and I can finally eat."
"You haven't even gone out yet. There's nothing down there except trees, so why go down there? Who would go out when you're so hungry that you don't have any strength."
It sounded like he was talking to himself, but Xu Xin knew that he was actually talking in a regional channel or group using voice input. Xu Xin looked at the regional channels. Their regional channels were very busy, but he didn't find what this person said.
"Ah? Is it possible to meet other survivors now?"
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you, there should be a big boss near my tree house!"
“Just before the heavy rain season, there was always a dazzling light spot shining in the north!”
...This person, I am talking about him.
"How do I know what the light spot is, but that tornado over there suddenly disappeared before it got dark! It must have been eliminated by the big guy over there!"
< br>
"Really! Why did I lie to you? I thought he must be on the ranking list at first, and I wanted to hug him, but there was no one from our area on the ranking list during the rainy season..."
< br>
No one in their area?
It seems that this survivor is still not from Jungle Area 188. You know, he and Ji Chaoyang were ranked first and second in the rankings that time. Their area was abuzz with this news for a while.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and took out the crossbow, which had already been loaded with an explosive arrow.
Since he is not from the same area, he is the enemy who will fight you to death in the future. Should you kill him directly and plunder his tree house?
After thinking for a while, Xu Xin finally gave up the idea.
Because he didn’t know if survivors killing each other would trigger a ranking or something like that. If his name was framed, it would be more of a loss than a gain. After all, there shouldn’t be many people now. We know that there are life-and-death conflicts between regions, but their region still wants to develop peacefully first.
Xu Xin observed the treehouse and determined that there were no heavy crossbows hidden around his treehouse, and there was no armor on the trunk of the treehouse. This is a very ordinary survivor, and I don’t know how he survived last night’s event.
Why not, go have a friendly exchange with him. After all, they can be considered neighbors.
Xu Xin asked Silver King Mimi and Ah Fu to stay in the jungle. These three guys have blood streaks on their bodies. They look like mutant beasts at first glance, and each one is bigger than the other. Even the smallest one, Afu, has a wingspan of more than two meters. With them, the opponent will be overly vigilant.
He walked to the tree house with only Coco and shouted to the tree house: "Excuse me, is anyone here?"
Immediately, a low exclamation came from the tree house: "Fuck! Fuck!!"
"There's someone outside my treehouse!!"
"Oh my god... He must be a big shot... Otherwise, who would dare to run out at this time..."
The last sentence was not voice input on the regional channel, but muttered to himself.
Fortunately, this guy was a brave person. He didn't hide in the tree house and didn't dare to come out. He walked carefully to the window. His movements were very careful, but Xu Xin's hearing was extraordinary now, and he could hear his movements clearly.
Then, half of his head poked out from the corner of the window on the first floor, and his eyes met Xu Xin's.
The other party was startled and shrank back.
"Hello, I don't mean any harm. I just feel that this time the protected area is expanded, maybe we can find other survivors, so I came out to have a look." Xu Xin tried his best to appear friendly.
He really wanted to know what the situation was like in other areas except their 188th area.
"嘤! 嘘嘤!" Coco also made a cute cry that was different from usual, helping Xu Xin attract the people above. (End of chapter)
