Chapter 288 Lou Feier shrouded in shadow
Xu Xin immediately returned to the tree house and started the electric water pump.
There was a buzzing sound, and within seconds, an electric pump pumped water into the treehouse.
Not knowing how long the snowy weather would last, Xu Xin began to store water.
He built large buckets one after another, pumped the water up, filled the buckets, and saved the extra space stacked on the first level of the treehouse.
Soon, the first level was filled with water.
These should be enough.
The small screen on the electric water heater lights up and displays two numbers.
A percentage, a temperature.
The percentage is clearly capacity, which is increasing rapidly. The temperature shows 6℃.
After more than ten seconds, the capacity of the electric water heater showed 100%, and the water pump automatically stopped pumping water.
Xu Xin started the water heater, and the temperature display slowly increased.
Not bad, comfortable!
He connected the water pump to the toilet's water tank, and connected the drain outlet to the pipe, and connected it to a deeper place under the tree house for discharging sewage.
Does this count as fertilizing the tree house?
Then, Xu Xin equipped each room with electric lights, and then made an electric oven and range hood to make the kitchen more presentable.
After finishing all this, Xu Xin returned to the third floor, sat heavily on the sofa, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
His tree house seems to be self-sufficient, and it feels like he can live forever without leaving home.
Is this what Fortress of Doom feels like?
Weapons, energy, food, he has them all, and they are very abundant.
It feels really good.
After doing this, it was getting a little dark, and the other members of the [Explorers] had also returned to the tree house one after another.
Xu Xin also immediately started to configure the power grid for them.
Ji Chaoyang had also returned to the tree house, and Xu Xin directly gave him the copper block.
He can also unlock the blueprint, so Xu Xin doesn't need to take care of it, he can just make it himself.
At the same time, everyone on the regional channel had begun to feel a little uneasy.
Because they could already clearly feel that the temperature outside the tree house was dropping.
Indeed, during the day, the temperature is still six or seven degrees, and it can even reach around ten degrees at noon, but when it gets dark, the temperature is already close to zero!
“Oh my God, it’s really like what the boss said, it’s going to be a cold winter!”
"Fortunately, the bosses let us build the fireplace in advance and let us cut down more trees. My current wood reserves are enough for me to burn for a long time."
"I have chopped down all the trees around me, and several axes have been destroyed! There is enough energy, and I feel at ease."
"Why don't you feel reassured! Didn't the big guys say that there will be a tide of beasts tomorrow?"
"I have already bought four repeating crossbows. When the time comes, if any wild beasts dare to attack the tree house, I will shoot them!"
"Four? Can I buy four? Damn it, I only bought two?"
"Finally, I have meat to eat. I'm so hungry. And it's so cold now, so it will last a long time. It's so comfortable!"
It seems that everyone in District 188 is basically ready.
Without a control panel and power grid, their survival rate is definitely much lower than that of them [explorers].
But there is no way to provide them with information and sell them the new type of repeating crossbow. They [Explorers] have done their best.
There should be a lot of saltpeter mines dug by Li Wenxi today, and some of them can be supplied to ordinary survivors.
Soon, Xu Xin configured the power grid for everyone in the [Explorer] and even made the electrical appliances they wanted.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I am really confident now to resist tomorrow's beast tide! Control panel, continuous crossbow with explosive crossbow bolts, and high-voltage power grid, who can break through my defense! Not even Brother Xin or Brother Chaoyang!"
Li Wenxi: "How much juice from mutated vines have you collected? I have more than 10,000 kilograms of green-grade saltpeter here."
Wang Lei: "What?! More than 10,000 kilograms?!"
Li Wenxi: "Oh, there are many people here, and Xu Xin asked me to dig more, but I accidentally dug too much."
Xu Xin was also shocked.
He immediately looked at the blueprints for making the explosives.
[Small explosives (green): Small explosives will explode upon impact. They are very powerful and can be used to make explosive arrows and explosive crossbow bolts. Small explosives (green)*20 require vine sap (green)*1kg, saltpeter (green)*2kg, charcoal (green)*20]
Twenty small explosives, that is, twenty explosive crossbow bolts, require 2kg of saltpeter. In other words, more than 10,000 kilograms of saltpeter. If the vine juice is enough, one hundred thousand explosive crossbow bolts can be made!
With so many explosive crossbow bolts, they can share some with others to improve their survival rate.
But...
Xu Xin checked her vine juice.
Although he hunted more than a hundred powerful mutant vines, and the vine juice each one could obtain was several times that of ordinary vines, but even so, plus the remaining ones from before, he only had more than 800 in his hands. Kilograms of mutant vine sap.
To make 100,000 explosive crossbow bolts, at least 5,000 kilograms of vine juice are needed!
Xu Xin: "I only have more than 800 kilograms of vine juice."
Wen Guixin: "I have 2,300 kilograms in my hand now."
...Two thousand three hundred kilograms?
Xu Xin raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little surprised, he was not surprised.
After all, it's Wen Guixin, whose combat power is at the ceiling.
Other members also revealed the weight of the vine juice they held in their hands.
A total of just over 4,000 kilograms.
However, it is enough.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang, who had been silent, spoke: "I'll go to the regional channel and ask. Besides us, there must be some capable people who can kill the blood-striped vines."
Sure enough, after Ji Chaoyang's inquiry, several survivors said that they had vine juice in their hands, but they didn't know what it was used for.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang immediately chatted with them privately and told them that these were raw materials for making explosives. They could exchange them for the prepared explosive crossbow arrows, and easily exchanged all the vine juice for them.
After all, this thing is useless in their hands.
Ji Chaoyang: "Give me all the materials and I will make it. My production room has an increase point of 150%. You probably don't have as many as me. There is a chance that the production room will reduce material consumption."
Xu Xin's production room only had 100%, so without saying anything, he directly traded all the vine juice.
Wang Lei: "Damn it, Brother Chaoyang has more growth points in one production room than I do in total!"
Wen Guixin: "I gave it to you."
Li Wenxi: "Should I give it all to you?"
Ji Chaoyang: "No, give it to me in batches. It's too much for me."
At this time, the teleportation array outside Xu Xin's tree house suddenly made a harsh sound, and the teleportation exit opened.
After Lou Fei'er came out of the teleportation exit, she fell directly to the ground. She stood up shakily and went directly into the small wooden house next to her.
A minute later, she came out of the cabin with a satisfied smile on her face. The two blood streaks had not receded yet.
She was not shocked by the high-voltage power grid, because she had just helped Li Wenxi lay out the power grid at Li Wenxi's side.
"Xu Xin has circled such a large area, my God, there is also a swimming pool?" She was shocked by the newly opened pool on the ground, "You know how to enjoy it?"
Because of the enhanced hearing, Xu Xin could hear Lou Fei'er's words and immediately rolled her eyes.
Lou Fei'er didn't go to Xu Xin again. She was tired after digging all day and wanted to go back and rest.
Finding the door, she reached out and pushed it open.
"Crack!"
"Ah!"
Xu Xin heard electric shocks and screams coming from outside.
He looked out of the window and saw Lou Fei'er lying next to the power grid, her body shaking.
He quickly got down from the tree house and walked to Lou Feier's side.
Lou Fei'er was still shaking slightly, her eyes had turned a little white, and the blood lines on her face that appeared in the cabin had become very faint.
Xu Xin quickly squatted down and helped Lou Feier up.
Lou Fei'er had regained consciousness at this time, and when she saw Xu Xin, she burst into tears: "Wow! Why...why did I get electrocuted...wuwu...I dug mines for a whole day... I'll make lunch for you... Ouch... I'm so obedient... This broken power grid is going to shock me... It hurts... Ouch!"
The more Lou Fei'er thought about it, the angrier she became, and she sat down on the ground and started crying.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry." Xu Xin patted her back to comfort her.
What the hell is going on?
Xu Xin looked at the map. Lou Fei'er was indeed marked in green and was undoubtedly her own unit.
Is there something wrong with the power grid?
Impossible.
Xu Xin reached out and touched the power grid herself, but there was no abnormality.
Lou Fei'er cried even harder when she saw this: "Wow...even this broken power grid is bullying me..."
The blood lines on her face had completely faded and turned into a normal look.
Xu Xin seemed to understand the reason.
Mutated creatures that have just been enhanced by red mist seem to be considered enemy units by default!
...What is going on with this red mist? All friendly units that have absorbed the red mist will be directly mistaken for enemy units.
Xu Xin felt more and more that this red mist was very dangerous.
No, there is no need to let Lou Feier and Silver King enter this red mist room anymore!
"Okay, don't cry anymore. How do you feel now?" Xu Xin asked Lou Fei'er as if coaxing a child.
Lou Fei'er sobbed twice, her eyes were red. She was really sad this time: "...There is no strength in the whole body, just like the weak stage...And just now, it hurt too much..."
She moved her right hand, and Xu Xin saw that her originally fair right hand was already unbearable to look at, and it might even make some people feel uncomfortable.
The injury is so serious!
...Although it’s not good to say this now, the power of this power grid is really good.
Xu Xin quickly took out a pill and put it into her mouth.
"What is this?" Lou Feier swallowed it without hesitation before asking.
"Qi Xuefei's pills."
Lou Fei'er felt that her right hand was extremely itchy. She looked down and saw that her right hand, which had been severely injured, had recovered.
And her body, which was shocked by high-voltage electricity, gradually regained its strength.
Lou Fei'er opened her eyes wide: "Is this... the pill she made? It's really strong!"
"...You were electrocuted, perhaps because you were affected by the red mist just now." Xu Xin told Lou Fei'er his speculation.
"Hongwu..." Lou Feier raised her hand and touched her normal face, "So that's it... Then I should be able to touch it now, right?"
"I don't know either, you can try." Xu Xin wanted Lou Fei'er to try his guess.
"...Then I'll give it a try."
Because of the increase in Xu Xin's affinity today, what he said could subtly convince the people around him. Coupled with the influence of the contract, Lou Fei'er believed Xu Xin's speculation very much, and she also wanted to verify it herself.
Standing up, she gritted her teeth and reached out to touch the power grid.
The moment she touched the power grid, her body trembled, and then...
Nothing happened.
"Huh..." Lou Feier exhaled tremblingly, "No problem, you can touch it now."
It's over, and her psychological shadow has increased.
Ever since she met Xu Xin, her heart has been shrouded in shadow.
It’s so difficult...
"It's been a hard day for you, go back and rest." Xu Xin didn't know what to say. Although Lou Fei'er originally wanted to kill him, she also received the punishment she deserved, and after experiencing so many things, she has indeed lost all those little thoughts.
You should really treat her as one of your own.
"Yeah." Lou Fei'er nodded obediently, and just as she was about to go back, she saw a power grid outside Ma Hongwei's treehouse in the distance.
"...I also want the power grid." Lou Fei'er turned back and looked at Xu Xin pitifully.
"You are just a small parasitic tree house. What kind of power grid do you need?" Xu Xin immediately refused, "I will configure it for you when your tree house is parasitic in the future."
"But, what should I do tomorrow?" Lou Fei'er argued.
"Come to my tree house tomorrow." Xu Xin had already thought about it. The tree house where Lou Fei'er currently lives is at the outermost edge of the plant heart's protective range. The location is very dangerous. It's better to just ignore it and let her come directly.
Anyway, the parasitic tree house can be reborn even if it is destroyed.
As for Ma Hongwei, it depends on his own thoughts. If he wants to come, that's fine. If he doesn't want to come, there's no problem in sticking to his own tree house.
After all, his resources are the same as everyone else in the Explorers, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
If he can't hold on, there won't be many people left in District 188.
"...Okay." Lou Fei'er compromised, knowing that it would be useless for her to make trouble.
Back in the treehouse, Ji Chaoyang had already told them on the [Explorer] channel that one hundred thousand explosive crossbow bolts had been produced.
One hundred thousand, outrageous!
"There are more than 3,000 people in the district. How about giving each of them 20 branches, and we divide the remaining 40,000 among ourselves?" Xu Xin suggested.
"Okay, I think it's no problem." Li Wenxi immediately agreed.
"Well, that's what I thought too." Ji Chaoyang said, "Then I will go to the trading platform now?"
"No, don't give it to them now. Let's see how dangerous it is tomorrow. If it's really dangerous, then give it to them then." Xu Xin suggested, "We are not giving them resources, we are trying to save their lives. ”
"...You're right, let's talk about it tomorrow."
The miners of the saltpeter mine have discussed it with the two big guys, so there will naturally be no problem with the others.
"Actually, I don't have that many." Wen Guixin said, "You can share more. I don't think I need to use explosive arrows."
"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me." Xu Xin slapped her forehead, "Should we share our respective abilities?"
Many people said that the progress has been too slow recently. These two chapters have sped up a bit and covered a lot of things in one go. In fact, I also wanted to write about Blizzard quickly, but there are some things that I have to explain... It will be tomorrow OVO
