Chapter 222 The true feelings of ordinary survivors
"It's really you! You're finally here... Wuwu..." Li Yajun seemed to have broken the tight string in her heart. She suddenly lay on the window sill, covered her mouth, and burst into tears.
Almost all of Li Yajun's previous activities took place at night, which made it impossible for Li Yajun to sleep well and her routine was disordered. As a result, she was now extremely mentally sensitive and would overreact to the slightest disturbance.
It is precisely because of this that Li Wenxi just said hello and she directly pointed the heavy crossbow at the two of them.
She had been on tenterhooks and regarded Xu Xin and Li Wenxi as enemies in other areas. After all, [Explorer] has already explained the basic situation on the regional channel, and she already knows that she is surrounded by people from other regions.
Now that it was confirmed that they were the explorers, Li Yajun was extremely excited.
"Oh, don't cry. You are the first person we found in the same area, and the fastest one we found!" Li Wenxi raised her head and comforted Li Yajun.
"Hmm...ah, why am I still up there? I'm going down now!" Li Yajun suddenly remembered that she was still in the tree house, and quickly controlled the tree house and got down from the tree house.
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi also fell off the Silver King.
This girl is a little shorter than Li Wenxi, about 1.6 meters tall, so she needs to look up at the two of them. She was wearing a green-grade leather armor. After coming down from the tree house, she shuddered slightly and rubbed her hands.
It seems that the green-level leather armor is not very warm.
Li Wenxi was wearing a blue-level steel armor suit, and he was wearing a purple-level scale armor suit. Even when the Silver King was running fast and the cold wind was blowing, neither of them felt cold. From this point of view, only equipment with blue level or above will have its own thermal insulation effect, while green level equipment is more common.
"Are you cold?" Li Wenxi asked with concern when she saw this.
"I'm fine," Li Yajun no longer cared about the coldness on her body. With a somewhat excited and uneasy expression on her face, she couldn't wait and asked cautiously, "Um, can I... come with you? Are you here to take me away?”
"Of course," Li Wenxi replied. Looking at Li Yajun's shivering body from the cold, she immediately suggested, "Why don't we go up and say, there should be a fireplace above you, right? The two of us can also warm up!"
Seeing Li Wenxi going up, Li Yajun immediately said: "Well, there is a fireplace! Then I will take you up!"
With that said, Li Yajun controlled the roots of the tree house and was about to lead the two of them up.
Facing the two [Explorers] who had saved her life, especially one of them, Xu Xin, who was number one in the region, she completely let down her guard. If the two people opposite wanted to harm her, it would be useless for her to take precautions. At worst, she could just give them back the life they saved.
"That... this wolf?" Li Yajun looked hesitantly at Silver King, who was covered in blood streaks and much larger than an ordinary wolf. "Is this wolf... a mutated beast? Does it want to go up too? ?”
"Ouch!" King Yin shouted to her. His voice was not hostile, but softer. She trembled all over and then opened her eyes wide.
"It...can understand what I'm saying?" Li Yajun looked at Silver King, unable to take his eyes away.
"This wolf is my mount," Xu Xin touched Silver King's head, "It's called Silver King. It's a friend, not an enemy. It won't hurt you. Take it up with you."
"Oh, okay..." Li Yajun couldn't help but take another look at Silver King, and then controlled the roots to lead them into the tree house.
Compared with Xu Xin and Li Wenxi's treehouse, Li Yajun's double-story treehouse is much simpler. After all, the area is much smaller and there is less room for things.
Although the screen is on the first floor, probably because the low tree house is only three meters high, which is too short and makes people feel insecure. Li Yajun used the first floor as a workshop and storage room, and used the second floor as a workshop and storage room. Transformed into a living area.
Although the first floor only covers an area of more than 20 square meters, she still kept it in an orderly manner. Tables and chairs were neatly placed, and there was a small bed leaning against the window. The fireplace that almost occupied one wall was burning. It emits a soft red light and makes a "crackling" sound of burning wood from time to time, as if it is a warm little home.
There was only one chair here, so she made two more on the spot, and the three of them sat down by the fireplace. Silver King also laid down his wolf body behind Xu Xin and Li Wenxi, leaning against the fireplace to warm up.
"Your place is really nice. It feels more like a home than my tree house!" Li Wenxi stroked Coco, who was still sleeping soundly in her arms, and looked at this cabin with a little envy.
She thought her treehouse was well designed. Compared with this place, her treehouse instantly felt like a cheap rental apartment with all kinds of decorations scattered around.
"Actually, it is designed according to the rooms of my home on earth. If it were not designed like this so that I could feel the feeling of home, I would probably collapse..." Li Yajun sighed and explained softly, her gaze was caught by Li Wenxi was attracted to Coco in her arms for a moment, then held it back for a while, "Um, I..."
"Want to touch it?" Li Wenxi saw her eyes drifting towards Coco and immediately asked with a smile, "Keke is super cute!"
"...Is that okay?" Li Yajun wanted to ask about the parasitic tree house, but was stopped by Li Wenxi.
But to be honest, she really wanted to touch this cute little panda.
The two people in front of her were completely different from what she had imagined. She had thought that people like the members of the Explorers who were active on the front line of life and death would be decisive in killing, and their personalities were like killers who were decisive and ruthless in their actions.
After meeting her, she realized that the painting style of these two people was a bit different from what she imagined as the big boss of [Explorer]. Apart from the fact that their equipment was much more advanced, these two people looked like they were in school. Like a couple, the man is talented and the woman is pretty, talking and laughing.
Talking to them was like talking to friends, which slowly relaxed her tense heart. This feeling is very comfortable.
"You can sneak a peek while it's sleeping. Coco doesn't want strangers to touch it. If it wakes up, you won't be able to touch it." Xu Xin was afraid of waking Coco up, so she whispered to Coco in a low voice. she said.
He could tell that the girl in front of him was not in a good mental state, so it was better to take it easy before mentioning the parasitic tree house. He happened to be running back and forth all the way, so he might as well take a break before leaving.
"Then..." Li Yajun looked at Coco with wide eyes and reached out to touch Coco.
Coco was sleeping on her back in Li Wenxi's arms, and she probably fell asleep comfortably with her belly rubbed.
"Ugh..." Coco stuck out her little tongue in her sleep and her tail swayed.
"So cute..." Li Yajun touched Coco's belly. The soft and furry touch, coupled with Coco's cry and the little expression of sticking out her tongue, instantly healed her.
If she had such a cute little animal by her side, she might not be like this, almost having a nervous breakdown.
"...嘤?"
Coco slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw a strange person touching her, she instantly jumped up from Li Wenxi's lap.
It jumped on Xu Xin's body, climbed up his shoulders, and hung on his back. Then he stuck out his little head and shouted at Li Yajun: "嘤! 嘤嘤嘤嘤!"
It seems that this little guy still won’t let others touch him.
Xu Xin lifted Coco from his back into his arms, touched its little head and comforted it: "It's not an enemy, don't be nervous."
"Whoop! Whoop!" Coco waved her little paws in protest, as if to say, even if it's not an enemy, it can be touched by anyone!
"Keke really doesn't let others touch her!" It was also the first time for Li Wenxi to see Keke resisting, and she felt a little strange. Every time she touched Keke, Keke was very well-behaved.
Although Li Yajun was a little disappointed at being rejected by Coco, she was still amused by Coco's appearance.
Smiling and laughing, a tear slipped down.
Li Yajun has been alone in this world for so many days. She has been exploring alone, and her spirit is almost on the verge of collapse.
She does not have a blue-level watch and cannot communicate outside the tree house, so all her activities can only be completed alone.
Xu Xin and others cannot understand the feelings of ordinary survivors.
For example, in dungeon exploration activities, [Explorer] members who have the ability to communicate outside the tree house have been discussing with each other and sharing strategies while exploring the dungeon. This is different from exploring alone, losing contact with the outside world, and not knowing where they are going. The feeling of whether one step will lead to death or not is completely different. Not to mention that Xu Xin had Coco who was following her all the time, so there was no actual feeling of loneliness or fear.
Ordinary survivors can only hunt beasts alone, explore dungeons alone, and wait alone on the second floor of a tree house for the end of thunderstorms and heavy rains.
Xu Xin and the others have never experienced this kind of mental torture.
After experiencing so many activities, she had long been fed up with the loneliness of surviving alone, and with the unknown fear that could come at any time.
She has been thinking about when she can really meet other survivors, and when she can support each other to survive with other people.
Therefore, after the second phase started, when [Explorer] informed everyone on the regional channel that the protected areas were connected and wanted to recruit members to join the team for survival, she had only one idea, that is, she must go!
If Xu Xin and the others hadn't said on the regional channel that the protected areas were not completely connected and it was best not to walk around on her own as she might be in danger, she would have gone out to search on her own!
"Oh, why are you crying again? Well, from today on, we are real partners! From now on, you don't have to face danger alone!" Li Wenxi held Li Yajun's hand and comforted her.
"Well..." Li Yajun sobbed and held Li Wenxi's hand tightly.
Xu Xin can also understand her current mood.
Humans are social animals. For those who have enough personal ability to survive in this world, the biggest enemy in the first stage is not the activities that can take people's lives again and again, but their own hearts.
Even for Xu Xin, if he didn't have the chatty coke in his arms, who talks all day long, and the video call with Li Wenxi every day to relax, he would probably have some problems with his mental state.
However, it seems that she has almost released her previous emotions, and it is time to talk about business.
Their main task today is to find Qi Xuefei, and they cannot spend too much time here. (End of chapter)
