Chapter 309 Weird Coco, Sudden Whistle
Ji Chaoyang's words really surprised Xu Xin.
Although he also guessed that this man was not a predator who controlled the herd, but a mutation from a survivor, he never thought that this matter was related to the continuous disappearance and death of people in the surrounding area.
Could it be that the disappearance of people in the surrounding area was because the predators forced them to mutate into what they are now?
wrong.
Xu Xin looked at the ax in his hand.
The ax does belong to the Marauder team. Ji Chaoyang also said that those fluffy weirdos will also hold axes in their hands.
This kind of ax is specially designed to attack tree houses. In other words, these stuffed monsters, these "predators", will directly cut down the tree houses and then seize the resources in the tree houses.
Before that, Ji Chaoyang also told him that the survivors who disappeared and were suddenly removed from the list all left behind a dying treehouse that had not been dug or cut down.
This shows that those strange deaths should have nothing to do with the predators.
"Where did you see the connection between the two?" Xu Xin asked about the connection between the person in front of him and the survivor who died inexplicably.
"...Wait, what are you talking about?" Qi Xuefei asked doubtfully. She didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
"Well, I'd better tell you about this." Ji Chaoyang was ready to tell others everything he discovered. He looked around and then was startled, "Li Wenxi, are you... asleep?"
Um?
Xu Xin looked at the sofa and saw Li Wenxi hugging Coco and leaning on the armrest of the sofa, moving her head little by little, like a sleepyhead sleeping in class.
Several people present looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
I have been highly stressed all morning and am indeed very tired. Now that I have eaten a full meal, it is normal for me to feel sleepy.
However, everyone present needs to know that she cannot continue to sleep.
Xu Xin walked over and patted Li Wenxi on the face: "Wenxi, wake up, don't sleep."
As a result, Li Wenxi just snorted softly, chirped twice, and then muttered: "I can't eat anymore...it's too much...but it's delicious..."
Good guys, the classic sleep talk is back for a limited time.
Xu Xin sat on the sofa and patted her face again: "Wen Xi, wake up, get up!"
As a result, no matter what he did, Li Wenxi would not wake up. She even wrapped her arms and legs around him, rubbed him in his arms, and then fell asleep in this position again.
Xu Xin: "..."
If there weren't so many people now, he would really...
However, he immediately noticed something unusual.
He frowned, grabbed Li Wenxi's shoulders, and shook him a few times: "Wen Xi? Wen Xi?"
As a result, Li Wenxi still didn't wake up. Instead, Keke, who had just been sleeping soundly in her arms because of his actions, slipped out and fell to the ground.
"嘤?!" Coco suddenly woke up and jumped up from the ground, "嘤嘤?"
"Pfft, there are so many people here now, and you guys are in this posture..." Lou Fei'er looked at Li Wenxi who was wrapped around Xu Xin like an octopus, laughed out loud, and joked.
"Can't you wake up?" Ji Chaoyang noticed something unusual and frowned.
"Can't wake up?" Lou Fei'er and Qi Xuefei were both startled and hurriedly came over.
The two also used various methods, which were much more exaggerated than Xu Xin's movements, but they did not wake up Li Wenxi.
She was still pestering Xu Xin and slept soundly, but her face was made red by Lou Fei'er and Qi Xuefei.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Xin was also a little panicked.
"This...why did Wen Xi suddenly fall asleep?" Qi Xuefei also frowned. She took out a pill, "Otherwise, feed her this pill to treat all injuries."
"Is this... a disease?" Xu Xin was a little hesitant. Li Wenxi could still talk in her sleep and looked like she was simply asleep.
Moreover, those pills can cause weakness. Although the beast tide has passed, who knows when it will come back. Is it okay to take it or not?
"Huh?" Coco climbed to the sofa and stood up, tilted her little head, and pushed Li Wenxi with her little paws.
"Well..." Li Wenxi groaned, rubbed into Xu Xin's arms twice more, and slowly opened her eyes.
Then she found that everyone around her was standing and looking here, but she was sitting on Xu Xin's body very inelegantly. She screamed and immediately turned over and sat next to Xu Xin, lowering her head. , face flushed.
What's going on!
Why did I fall asleep and still hold Xu Xin tightly... So many people were watching, it was so embarrassing!
She glanced up furtively at the others.
What made her relieved and a little puzzled was that no one else looked at her, but stared directly at Coco, who was standing on the other side of Xu Xin.
"Huh?" Seeing everyone present looking at her, Keke tilted her little head, not knowing why.
But it didn't think much, because it could already smell the aroma of the food.
There are only leftovers on the table now.
"Whoop! Whoop!" Coco immediately screamed twice in dissatisfaction, as if to say, why don't you wake it up when eating, then climbed to the dining table, picked up a chopstick with one paw, and began to eat clumsily. .
"This..." Xu Xin looked at the little guy eating on the dining table, as if he had seen some new species.
Just now, no matter how hard they shook Li Wenxi, Li Wenxi didn't wake up. Instead, the little guy pushed with his little paw, and Li Wenxi woke up immediately.
Li Wenxi just fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up. Could it be this little guy's fault?
Speaking of Coco, he has been getting more and more sleepy recently.
Today, it was obviously not taken out by Xu Xin. It rested in the tree house for a day. As a result, it was still asleep at noon. The snack food didn't even eat. The smell of the food and the sound of their conversation were all over the place. It didn't wake it up. If it hadn't been shaken to the ground by Xu Xin just now, it might still be asleep.
Moreover, Li Wenxi had just been holding the sleeping Coco.
From this point of view, the possibility of her being influenced by Coco is very high!
"What...what's wrong? I took a nap, why is there something wrong with your atmosphere?" Li Wenxi felt a little panicked when she saw that everyone was silent and all looking at Coco on the dining table. She asked Xu Xin arms, asked in a low voice.
Xu Xin turned to look at her and asked, "It's nothing. Are you feeling well now?"
"Discomfort?" Li Wenxi was a little confused, but she still replied, "No, I feel refreshed, as if I just ate blue-level oranges."
That's good, Xu Xin is afraid that Keke will cause harm to other people, or even him, which will make it difficult for him.
Let Li Wenxi stay and ask about the situation later.
"It's fine. Let's put this matter aside for now. I will figure it out myself. Let's get back to the topic." Xu Xin took another look at the little guy who was eating after waking up, and then turned to look at Ji Chaoyang.
Ji Chaoyang nodded and told about the strange things that happened in other nearby areas.
"You said it, it's true!" Lou Fei'er began to slide her watch, "In the past few days, the number of people in District 187 has been inexplicably declining rapidly, making everyone panic. Today... huh? Isn’t there a small number of people?”
The number of people in Area 187 is still at the same number before the communication was disconnected.
"The number of people in District 188 has not changed." Qi Xuefei pointed to her watch and said, "It should be a communication problem."
Nowadays, most people are in a state of no communication, and the regional channels have not changed for a long time, which naturally includes the number of regional people above.
Xu Xin is a little worried that when the actual data is refreshed, the total number of people in the regional channel will drop significantly.
However, other survivors also had heavy crossbows and dozens of explosive crossbow bolts prepared by them. In addition, the treehouse is of a low level and there are few people there, so it won't encounter a too strong beast wave, so it shouldn't be a big problem to survive it.
Hope so.
Ji Chaoyang continued: "Yesterday I was exploring farther south, and there was another dying treehouse there. And around that treehouse, I met a treehouse that was very similar to it. Mutant. Blood streaks appear on the skin, and there is no fuzz. If it weren’t for the blood streaks, it would look just like a normal person.”
Ji Chaoyang's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.
Xu Xin opened his mouth, stated his previous guess, and then concluded: "Judging from the properties of the axes in the hands of the predators, they are obviously here to destroy the tree house, so this mutation may not be caused by the predators. ”
Ji Chaoyang nodded slowly: "My guess is that this man might just be encountered by the predators, included in the herd, and had to obey orders to attack. The predators can command mutant creatures, so they command this man , This is reasonable.”
As he spoke, he looked at the man on the ground who was still staring, but his expression was no longer ferocious.
The man couldn't even blink, and his eyes could only move slowly.
Xu Xin's heart moved. If his eyes could move, he might be able to communicate.
"Were you really a survivor before?" Xu Xin squatted in front of the man. "If so, look to the left. If not, look to the right."
The man's pupils began to shrink, and then under everyone's gaze, his eyes began to slowly shift to the left.
"We can really communicate! He can understand what we say!" Li Wenxi said in surprise, "He...is really a survivor?"
Xu Xinze and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other.
Got it right?
"Did you come here with the group of mutated creatures and those stuffed monsters outside that attacked us? Look left, not right."
The man's gaze did not shift, he still looked to the left, motionless.
"Are you their companion?"
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes began to move slowly to the right, telling Xu Xin that he was not a companion.
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes.
He didn't believe this.
If he is not a companion, then why does he have a special ax in his hand? According to what Ji Chaoyang and the others saw, the tools held by those stuffed monsters were axes.
Lou Fei'er also thought of this and said to Xu Xin: "Xu Xin, you gave him a contract, so that when he answers your questions, he won't be able to lie!" She knew this well.
Xu Xin was actually a little hesitant.
There are not many mutant beast contracts left in his hands.
Including those obtained in the dungeon and those made for him by Chang Yin, he has a total of eleven mutant beast contracts.
He used one on Ah Fu, two on Mimi, one on Li Wenxi, one on Aifei, one each on Lou Fei'er and Ma Hongwei, and he just returned the contract. A Snow Wolf King has been used, and a total of eight have been used.
Now, he only has three contracts left in his hand.
Now that Changyin is missing, these three contracts must be used sparingly.
As for this mutated human, he didn't know whether this person could recover or whether he would always look like this.
Even if he can recover, if he doesn't have any special abilities, contracting an ordinary survivor is really a waste of his contract.
Just when Xu Xin was struggling, suddenly, a sharp whistle came from not far away from the window!
The whistle was so harsh that both Silver King Mimi and Snow Wolf, who were lying in the corner, stood up and made vigilant movements.
The whistle was so familiar that everyone stood up suddenly. Ji Chaoyang immediately ran to the window and looked out the window.
A map instantly appeared in Xu Xin's mind, looking for the precise location of the red dot from the direction of the whistle.
Although the beasts in the jungle have returned and there are many red dots on the map, he immediately saw a red dot that was much brighter than the ordinary beasts around him. It was moving at an extremely fast speed. Stay away from the treehouse.
Too fast!
"Uh..." At the same time as the whistle sounded, the mutated human in front of him also made a painful and hoarse sound in his throat!
The sound was so penetrating that it made several people around him shiver.
Amidst the hoarse moans, the mutated human became ferocious again, its eyes popped out, its face gradually deformed, and its motionless mouth opened slightly, as if it wanted to tell something, but could not.
"Not good!" Qi Xuefei's expression changed, and she immediately took out a pill and tried to stuff it into his mouth, but it was too late.
A horrific scene happened.
"Peng!"
Blood and flesh splattered all over Qi Xuefei, who was squatting in front of the mutated man.
"Huh?" Coco, who was eating, looked at the blood-spattered food on the table, held his chopsticks motionless, and blinked twice.
Including Ji Chaoyang, who looked away from the window and looked this way, several people were shocked and speechless by the horrific scene in front of them.
The mutant man’s head exploded!
Right in front of them, the eyes bulged, the face was deformed, and then, it exploded!
Xu Xin's heart sank as she looked at the inside of the tree house that was spattered with blood.
On the map, the bright red dot has long since disappeared. Its speed is too fast, and it is no less than the Silver King.
how so?
Did it come here to kill people and silence them? What secrets do these mutants have?
