Chapter 206 Cooling and Falling Leaves (4200 words!)
The next day, he was woken up by the cold wind blowing in through the gap in the ajar window.
"Hiss—it's so cold!" Xu Xin sat up from the bed.
Cocoa next to her didn't feel much at all. It turned over, snorted, and continued sleeping with its big tail in its arms.
He looked at the time. It was almost seven in the morning, but it was still dark outside.
"What's going on?" Xu Xin rubbed her cold arm and frowned.
He used saltpeter (blue) to cool down the bedroom last night. The basin of ice on the ground hasn't melted yet. Why did it suddenly become so cold today?
He had an ominous premonition.
The regional channel was very busy at this time.
"Why did it suddenly get cold today?"
"Besides, it's already seven o'clock and it's still not dawn yet. Isn't winter suddenly coming?"
"It's possible, mom, I don't have thick clothes, what should I do?"
"It's not a big problem. Just make a fireplace and it's just a pile of stones. No one should be short of green-grade stones now."
"A furnace requires one hundred parts of green-grade stone... Anyway, I can't make it now."
"Oh, you can always find something when you go out to pick it up. Aren't all the creeks filled with green-grade stones? Don't panic, it's not a big problem. Now I want to know even more, whether you want to join the explorer bosses. ”
"Go, then definitely go! If you go, you can get the protection of the big guys, help with things, and have higher-level resources. Why not go? I'm just waiting for the big guys to come and take me away. ! ”
"That's right, if Boss Ji hadn't said yesterday not to wander around by yourself, I would have wanted to go find them by myself now!"
"But, didn't you say that there will be restrictions..."
"What's the benefit of the boss restricting us? Anyway, I will definitely go. If it weren't for the explorer's strategy and help, I don't know how many times I would have died."
"I'll forget it. I still want to control my own destiny. I don't want to rely on others anymore."
"This brother has a story."
It seems that most people are supportive of their actions and are willing to follow them directly.
good.
But why is it so cold today?
Xu Xin clicked on Lou Fei'er's watch, and people from the 187 District regional channel were also discussing the sudden coldness of the weather. At least that's the case in the surrounding area.
He walked to the window and opened it. A gust of cold wind blew in his face, causing the temperature of the whole room to drop a little.
"Hey!" Coco was startled by the sudden cold wind. She jumped up from the bed, looked at Xu Xin, and then tilted her head, "Hey?"
Really cooled down.
The temperature outside now is probably only about ten degrees. Although it’s not too low, it was still close to 30 degrees yesterday!
This time the temperature dropped, and the mysterious voice didn't even give any hint.
In the past, whether it was a rainstorm or a dungeon, there would always be a reminder of at least one activity name. Why is it gone now?
Could it be that there are no clear activities in the second stage?
Maybe that's true. Maybe disasters and beast tides will still happen, but there are no clear activities anymore. I'm afraid it's just the first stage of the mode, and it's also a benefit for novices. After all, you can prepare in advance and get some benefits from the activities.
However, if that's the case, at least there won't be dead people in every event.
If 50 people had to die in every event in the future, with the current number of survivors, it would simply not be affordable, and it would also lead to the team being unable to be established and fragmented.
After all, it is much easier to push others into the water than to work hard yourself.
Opening his watch, he found that Li Wenxi had sent him a private message at around six o'clock.
"Xu Xin, what time will you come over today? Be careful, maybe our protected areas are not connected. By the way, it's so cold today!"
Xu Xin has already set permissions for everyone in the Explorer, so that he can initiate voice and video calls to him, and the private message will also vibrate, but probably because of the artistic creation last night, Li Wenxi's private message did not wake him up.
He replied: "Wait until after nine o'clock and check the situation first. The temperature drop today is unusual. There may be new activities."
He got up, washed himself, and put on his scale armor.
Don't mention it, a purple-level suit is a purple-level suit. This scale armor suit looks very cold, but the temperature is quite comfortable when worn on the body, and it can actually keep warm.
Li Wenxi also replied at this time: "Okay, I also think we should wait. If there is an event, there should be a notice at nine o'clock."
Xu Xin: "Well, if there is no activity, I will find you after nine o'clock."
Because it was still very hot yesterday, the windows on the upper and lower floors of his living room were open. Although there is shelter from the canopy of trees outside, the cold wind penetrates everywhere, causing the temperature inside the entire house to drop much lower.
He threw a few coals into the fireplace, which immediately burst into flames. Then he closed all the windows, and the temperature in the treehouse immediately became much more normal.
This fireplace was made when he first planted the tree house, and it finally came in use today. Its only purpose before was to absorb the fumes from barbecue.
Silver King and Mimi both had thicker hair on their bodies, but they didn't care about the changes in temperature and continued to lie lazily on the ground.
These two guys seem to be like this these days.
Is it because the radiation stones are broken and there is no radiation around them that can enhance their strength, so they are so listless?
It seems that we need to plant the red mist flower seeds in our hands as soon as possible and build a sauna for these guys. There were so many things before that I have always forgotten them.
By the way, that red mist should also be useful to Lou Fei'er. She is also a mutated creature now.
After throwing a few pieces of meat to Mimi and Silver King, and stuffing an apple to Coco, Xu Xin came to the window and shouted to Ah Fu hanging under the parasitic tree house 01: "Ah Fu, come back for dinner!"
< br>
He doesn't need to worry about Aifei and the others. Although there are currently no wild beasts, there are still insects and ants everywhere. Aifei has no worries about eating and drinking.
However, it seems that it has not foraged for a long time since it last ate so many large mutated ants. Perhaps it was full at once and is now evolving?
Ah Fu immediately flapped his wings and flew over.
Then he saw Lou Fei'er sticking her head out of the window and shouting at him: "Where's me! I want to eat too! You treat me differently! Refuse to discriminate!"
Isn't she a cook who adds decoration to the kitchen?
Oh, by the way, Lou Fei'er's weak period will not pass until tonight. Now she is so weak that she may not be able to cook.
"When I finish eating, I will send it to you!" Xu Xin called out and retracted his head.
Xu Xin contacted [Explorer] while eating.
Everyone has already started discussing today's temperature issue.
Ji Chaoyang: "Everyone, the temperature is abnormal today. Don't go out before nine o'clock. If there are activities today, we will most likely be notified at nine o'clock. If there is no information at nine o'clock, we will not go out as planned yesterday. Late.”
Zhao Xiaochuan: "It's really cold... I woke up from the cold in the morning. My window is facing the bed. I feel like I have a cold... ah... ah... sneeze!!"
Qi Xuefei: "Do you need medicine? It's the same medicine as before. One pill will take effect, but there will be a two-hour period of weakness."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Let's forget it. The two-hour weak period is too life-threatening. If you really want to eat, you have to eat at night."
Qin Yunlong: "Go out and take a look. The leaves of the poplar trees outside are starting to turn yellow!"
Li Wenxi: "Oh my God, it's true! The leaves are already falling here!"
Xu Xin immediately ran to the window and looked out. The originally green leaves of the poplar tree actually turned yellow, like a dying tree house.
When he first got up, he also looked outside the tree house. There had not been such a big change at that time!
Fortunately, the tree house's canopy is still lush and green and has not been affected at all.
Of course, a cold wind blew by, and in Xu Xin's sight, the leaves turned more and more yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless leaves that were already yellow began to fall off with the wind.
...What's going on with these poplar trees!
How come these poplar trees, which grow rapidly during the rainy season, wither so quickly!
No, not withering.
It seems like it's just the normal fall of leaves in autumn. But the leaves turn yellow and fall too quickly.
It didn't take long for a thick layer of yellow leaves to appear on the ground, and the entire jungle had changed from green to yellow, and had become much sparser due to fallen leaves. I'm afraid it won't be long before these trees will become bare. .
Even the shrubs and birches he planted outside are gradually becoming bald. Only the pine trees are still green, but the color has turned into the dark green of winter compared to the green before.
"...The leaves are falling too fast. Winter is not coming soon, right?" Xu Xin said to herself.
Speaking of the cold winter, he thought of the cotton he had collected before. It's a pity that he couldn't plant it in a large area at first, but now he can plant it in a large area under the tree house. As a result, the temperature has dropped again.
Go down and have a look.
Xu Xin was about to get down from the tree house when Coco climbed up on his shoulders twice.
"Okay, I'll take you down with me."
"嘤!"
When we came under the tree house, the red berry bush at the entrance of Aifei's Cave also turned yellow.
Xu Xin looked towards the entrance of the cave. Inside the cave, her beloved concubine was sleeping together with two little guys. She didn't seem to be affected by the temperature. Thinking about it, of these three, Ai Fei is a mutant beast close to the intermediate level, and the two younger ones have the blood of giant beasts and are not afraid of the cold at all.
Of course, Xu Xin is not cold either, and the warmth of this scale armor is pretty good.
Looking around, everything around him became a little strange. Xu Xin, who was used to seeing green, was a little uncomfortable seeing a golden jungle and fallen leaves everywhere.
etc.
He looked up at the treehouse. The tree house has not changed at all, it is still lush and green, and the leaves are swaying slightly in the cold wind.
Xu Xin immediately asked on the regional channel: "Have the colors of the leaves in your tree house changed?"
Everyone was also discussing the temperature and fallen leaves. When Xu Xin spoke, a group of people immediately rushed to answer.
"No!"
"No change, boss!"
“Still so green!”
Xu Xin's face gradually showed a thoughtful expression.
The jungle has turned yellow or even bald, and only the treehouses and pine trees are still green. Only survivors can plant pine trees. Wouldn't it be possible to see the green and lush treehouses of other survivors from a long distance away?
This world seems to be helping survivors meet each other.
But, yes, it saves them the trouble of searching.
"Master, I'm hungry! I want to eat!" Lou Fei'er in the tree house over there saw Xu Xin coming down from the tree house, thinking that he was bringing food to her, but he didn't come for a long time, so she couldn't help shouting.
"Coming, coming." Xu Xin came to the parasitic tree house and pulled it up by controlling the roots.
Although the owner of the treehouse is Lou Feier, he can still control the treehouse. The owner of the main treehouse is equivalent to having the keys to all the parasitic treehouses.
Well, it’s better not to tell other people on the regional channel about this, otherwise, a group of people may be deterred by it.
"You're finally here, wuwu, I'm cold and hungry. If you do this to me again, I'll report you for abusing prisoners and making it impossible for your organization to continue!" Lou Feier's eyes were filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, and then she saw The little guy on Xu Xin's shoulder immediately put on a smile and said hello, "Hello, little cutie!"
"Hey!" Coco also waved her little paw.
She was currently connected to District 188. Ji Chaoyang told everyone at the regional channel about this, so she would naturally know.
After learning about the [Explorer]'s deeds from other people, she finally understood why so many people were able to survive in Area 188. In comparison, their Area 187 was simply a waste area! It's completely incomparable to District 188!
Is being caught in District 188 a good thing?
Moreover, her master is the boss of District 188, and even the boss of all districts...
No no no! Am I crazy!
While Lou Fei'er was still fighting in her mind, Xu Xin placed some fruits and a piece of barbecue on the table for her.
"...Barbecue?!" Lou Feier looked at the barbecue in a daze, "Can you still eat barbecue now?"
"Eat quickly. After eating, I will take you to the main tree house." Xu Xin sat on the chair, waiting for her while thinking about what to do today.
Lou Fei'er's eyes lit up, "Can I live in the main tree house?"
"Of course not. It's just that I may have to go out today. If you are so helpless, if you stay here, I'm afraid you'll be cold when you come back." Xu Xin warned, "Don't even think about messing around in the main tree house. Run, I will let Mimi watch you.”
Going out today requires a long journey to several tree houses. Mimi is afraid that she won't be able to bear it, so she won't take it with her. Just take Yin Wang and Coco. Just let Mimi watch this woman at home.
"Um...Okay." Lou Fei'er sat on the chair boredly and began to enjoy breakfast.
"Your barbecue skills are really bad! It's a pity that such good meat, well, it's delicious. This meat is really delicious. Is this mutated animal meat? It's just that the heat is really bad. Wait, what do I think? Isn’t it equivalent to eating the same kind of food?”
Xu Xin: "..."
This meat is automatically grilled on a blue-level grill. It will automatically stop the fire when it is cooked. What's wrong with the lack of heat?
"Forget it, just like the same kind, as long as it tastes good. Do you still have a lot of meat? Let me grill it next time. Your skills are not good." Even so, she still ate with relish. After all, since yesterday, It's so late that she hasn't eaten anything yet.
"Eat yours and hurry up!" Xu Xin almost wanted to give her a headache.
"I'm serious! I'm a good cook!"
Xu Xin ignored her and looked out the window.
As he expected, the jungle at this time had basically lost all its leaves. The trees were bare, with only a few full-yellow leaves remaining on the bare branches. The ground was covered with a thick layer of golden fallen leaves.
The world changed from midsummer to late autumn in just one night. Thank you to [Guanhe 1987] for the reward of 100 starting coins and [Book Friends 20210212143504170] for the reward of 100 starting coins. Thank you for your support!
