Chapter 365 A tree grows on the giant’s toe
At this time, it was almost eight o'clock in the morning, but the sky was still dark, and the stars could even be seen.
If it had been a few days ago, or even yesterday, at this time, at least half of the sky would have been lit up.
You know, the night is much colder than the day. The coldest time of the day is the period before sunrise, which is now.
Of course, even at the coldest time now, the temperature in their 188 zone has not reached below 0 degrees. This is the benefit of the two rewards.
But other areas are not so lucky. Now that the nights have been extended so much, the time that people in other areas can go out for activities is gradually being compressed.
The four of them were sliding on power skateboards towards Qin Yunlong's tree house.
In the jungle, there is still three meters of snow. After a day and a night of accumulation, the snow layer has become much stronger.
"Watch the World Channel. The snow layer in other areas has reached four meters deep..." Zhao Xiaochuan avoided the trees in the jungle on his skateboard while swiping his watch to watch the World Channel.
Qin Yunlong glanced at him: "Look at your watch while skating on your skateboard, be careful not to hit a tree."
"Don't panic, I've always been like this, it's not a big problem." Zhao Xiaochuan still raised the watch with his left hand, and swiped the projection with his right hand. The skateboard swung left and right dexterously, avoiding the tree trunks.
"It is said that the snow layer in their outer area is already higher than the windows of the low tree house. Fortunately, the temperature near the tree house is high, and the snow layer will melt away every day, and the parts close to the tree house will be much lower. It won’t bury the treehouse.”
Qin Yunlong asked: "Now, people in other areas who don't have snow fox scarves can only go out for activities during the two or three hours at noon."
"Well..." Zhao Xiaochuan continued to move the projection, "Indeed, but you can still move around the tree house. The area of about ten meters around the tree house is still barely above 0 degrees."
In this cold winter, tree houses are still the only reliance for most survivors.
"Hey..." Coco got off Xu Xin's shoulders and got into his arms.
It's the coldest time of the day. Although the little guy can withstand the temperature, it's certainly not comfortable, so he crawls directly into Xu Xin's arms to keep warm.
Touching Coco in her arms, Xu Xin also felt a little uncomfortable for the people in the outer area.
If this cold winter continues, the days will continue to get shorter.
By then, when the sun rises for too short a time to allow the daytime temperature to rise above 15°C, they will lose even the two or three hours of activity at noon.
Until then, they can only stay in the treehouse and watch helplessly as the treehouse is buried in the snow.
Thinking about it makes me a little desperate.
"That's my tree house." Qin Yunlong pointed to a large snowball far ahead with a hint of green among the white trees. It was not very conspicuous in the snow-white desert and could not be seen without looking carefully. , "It's not too far. And there..."
He pointed diagonally ahead to a hill about 60 to 70 meters high, seven or eight kilometers away: "That's the hill where Wen Guixin and I met for the first time. It's the hill with a crooked-neck tree on it."< br>
Hills...
etc.
"I remember that you once said that this hill looks like...a foot, right?" Xu Xin skated to avoid the trunk of a tree, but kept staring at the hill. Watch.
"Yes, this is the hill. Can you see it from this angle?" Qin Yunlong pointed at the peak of the hill, "Look, does the peak look like a toe? ”
really.
Although the peak is covered with snow, you can still see the mountain tops that are forked like toes.
"It's true!" Zhao Xiaochuan was also a little surprised, "Although you have said it before, I have never noticed it!"
The location of this mountain peak is between Qin Yunlong and Wen Guixin's tree house. Zhao Xiaochuan had never been here before the cold winter, so he naturally didn't notice it.
After the cold winter came, he came here a few times, but the hills were covered with thick layers of snow, and now the general shape could hardly be seen.
Observing carefully and removing the snow layer in his mind, Xu Xin could roughly imagine what the mountain looked like.
It is like the feet of a person lying down, with the soles of the feet pointing forward, the toes pointing upward, and the heels touching the ground.
And now, they are on the side of this foot.
This should be another part of the giant's body!
Calculating this, plus the giant's arm near Ji Chaoyang's tree house, there are at least three giant body parts in Area 188.
According to the giant's previous message, its body was divided into twelve parts, and now, a quarter of them have been found in Area 188.
District 188 is really special.
Because this hill is between Qin Yunlong's tree house and Wen Guixin's tree house, a few people happened to be passing by, so they skied to the edge of the mountain first and took a closer look.
From a close distance, the shape of the mountain is not clearly visible, but the toes can be seen more clearly.
He also saw the crooked-necked tree on the mountain peak that was less than half buried by the snow.
The tree was positioned so that it looked like it was growing out of the cracks in the toenails.
So strange...
"Hey!" Coco, who had been nestled in Xu Xin's arms, suddenly screamed and jumped out.
"Running around again!" Xu Xin grabbed her but failed, causing Coco to jump down.
Fortunately, the snow layer here has been very thick after condensation overnight, and is in a state of half snow and half ice. Coco can step on it lightly without sinking in.
It stepped on the snow and ran to the edge of the hill in two steps. It ran around the edge and left a series of small footprints.
Eventually, it stopped in one spot.
Standing up, his little head tilted, and his little paws were about to touch the hilly wall.
Then Xu Xin pinched the back of his neck and picked him up.
"Don't run around!" Xu Xin gave Coco a little shock, "If you run around again, I will lock you in the tree house and won't let you come out!"
Coco is very special and cannot be put into the bracelet. If you don't take it with you, you can only let it stay in the tree house.
"Hey!" Coco's four short legs were swinging, and she yelled with some dissatisfaction, and then pointed a little paw at the wall of the mountain, "Hey!"
It seemed to have discovered something about this hill and couldn't wait to explore it.
"What's wrong, Brother Xin, did Xiao Keke find anything?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked as the three of them also slid over.
Xu Xin held Coco in her arms and looked at the wall.
In his opinion, there was nothing unusual here, just a very simple ordinary stone wall.
However, he didn't think Keke was aiming for the wrong target.
"Well, this hill may look like a giant's head. There must be something inside."
Having said that, he didn't want to explore the hills right now.
The top priority now is to activate the coordinates of these tree houses, then accept the survivors who came during this period and settle them down.
These are things that only he can do.
Because only he can activate the coordinates, and only he can make teleportation cards for these people, allowing them to teleport to the people they want to live with.
If he went in to explore and couldn't come out for half a day or even a day or two, there would be chaos outside.
So no.
"Okay, next time we come here, be obedient and don't run around!" Xu Xin flicked Coco's little head again.
"Huh..." Keke was a little disappointed. He glanced at the hilly wall again, then buried his little head in Xu Xin's arms and sulked.
"Okay, let's go." Xu Xin also looked up at the mountain peak for the last time.
What can this foot bring?
Several people continued to move towards Qin Yun's Dragon Tree House.
Qin Yunlong's treehouse is about twenty kilometers away from Wen Guixin.
The speed of the power skateboard was about 40 kilometers per hour, and it took a few people half an hour to reach his tree house.
At this time, the sun had already revealed half of its face from the east, and the surrounding area became brighter.
It was finally dawn.
The surrounding temperature also began to slowly rise under the sunlight.
The dazzling white light reflected on the snow surface caused several people to take out their goggles and put them on their eyes.
Next to Qin Yunlong's treehouse, there were also three parasitic treehouses. When they heard the movement, people in the three parasitic treehouses poked their heads out.
"We're back, Brother Long and Brother Hu, and Brother Xiaochuan are also here! This is..." One of them waved hello.
"Guess who I brought back to you!" Qin Yunlong hugged Xu Xin's shoulders and smiled at the three people who poked their heads out, "He is Xu Xin, no need for me to introduce him, right?"< br>
Suddenly, the three people's eyes widened and they all exclaimed.
"Oh my god, the boss is so handsome...and that little panda is so cute!"
"I was just talking about the boss on the regional channel, and the boss is here! Hello, boss!"
"Is it really Boss Xu Xin? Boss Xu Xin is really here! I thought Brother Long was bragging before!"
Qin Yunlong suddenly had a black line: "Why am I bragging? I am also a member of the Explorers!"
Qin Yunhu glanced at him: "You have never been on the world rankings, you are really close."
"I..." Qin Yunlong was speechless and choked, "Isn't it the same for you."
Indeed, the people around him, not to mention Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, Wen Guixin, Wang Lei, and Zhao Xiaochuan are all people who have been on the world rankings. Qi Xuefei is also very famous for selling pills on the world channel. .
The ones who are not famous now seem to be the two brothers and Li Wenxi.
But Li Wenxi has always been the indispensable support behind the team's actions. She is just a person behind the scenes, and she doesn't want to come forward.
As for the two brothers, their abilities were sealed during the severe winter, and they couldn't make a difference even if they wanted to.
This is indeed a close call.
Alas, when will I be on the world rankings? Otherwise, I will be looked down upon by these guys.
The person who had just discussed Xu Xin on the regional channel clicked on the regional channel again and started bragging.
"Everyone, Mr. Xu Xin is next to me now, I see the real person!!"
"What?! How did you go so fast? Didn't we just distribute the supplies?!"
"Ma De, you are cheating!"
"What, you don't even know him? You have been showing off like crazy in the past two days that you were brought back by the explorer boss!"
"Remember, aren't you the one from District 189 who was captured by Mr. Qin Yunlong a long time ago!"
"What is District 189? What is District 189?" The man immediately denied it and said righteously, "I was born as a member of District 188 and died as a ghost of District 188. I have nothing to do with District 189!"
"Oh, I'm so envious. People in Area 189 can get in touch with the big explorer so early, but I can't move because I'm far away from the two light pillars. I really cried!"
"I have already said that I am from District 188. If anyone mentions District 189 again, who am I to worry about?"
"What does Mr. Xu Xin look like? Is he green-faced, fanged, three-headed and six-armed, as in the rumors?"
"What the hell? Are there still such rumors? Brother Xin is so handsome, okay!"
"It's Mr. Wang Lei!"
"Big Brother Wang Lei is coming to Shuiqun again!"
"Really? Is he really super handsome! He's strong and handsome... I can't do it anymore, I'm going to give birth to a monkey for Mr. Xu Xin!"
"I'll go too, I'll give birth to a monkey for the boss too!"
"Aren't you a man?"
"What's wrong with men? Can't men give birth to monkeys? I'm so angry and cold. When can men stand up!"
Because Qin Yunlong had already told the people here that they had important matters, although the three of them were watching from the tree house, they did not come down.
"This guy Wang Lei," Zhao Xiaochuan was also paying attention to the regional channel at this time, and he was speechless. "This guy is actually on the water regional channel? I'm convinced, he doesn't come out when he is so free."
"Okay, let's activate the coordinates quickly and go to the next one." Xu Xin said to several people. (End of chapter)
