Chapter 479...No way? (4500 words)
Xu Xin woke up very early the next day.
I woke up before six o'clock.
He woke up when the sun outside hit his face.
Li Wenxi was still sleeping soundly, and the sunlight shining on her skin made Xu Xin feel slightly itchy.
Coco rolled off the bed at some point, covering her eyes with her little paws to block the sun, and huddled up.
Xu Xin's lips curved into a smile.
Since the onset of winter, it has been a long time since the sun has broken out so early.
In the past few days, the dawn time has been postponed to past ten o'clock.
Now, the days are finally lengthening.
A reminder sounded in his mind. His random increase today was [luck increase].
Not a bad increase.
He got out of bed, took a quick shower, and checked the World Channel.
"It's stopped snowing! It's stopped snowing! It's dawn! Hahahahahaha! I'm alive!"
"Hold the grass! Damn it!! I thought I would have to wait until ten o'clock, but it turned out to be dawn after five o'clock!"
Today's world channels are full of excited words that make people cry with joy.
It seems that the day has just dawned and the snow has just stopped.
"Cowhide! Explorer cowhide! Boss Xu Xin cowhide! Without the coal given by the boss, there is no way I could have survived last night!"
"Yes, yes! Although I only have three yuan, these three yuan really saved my life!"
"Damn it, I've just run out of coal! What a critical moment! If the snow stops later, I'm afraid I'm going to die suddenly!"
"I vomited! I managed to survive by exercising! I thought it would be ten o'clock and I didn't dare to use coal, but it's over now!"
"Brother cowhide!"
"Hahaha, it's warm! It's really warm outside! The snow is starting to melt!"
"Alive! Woo woo woo, really alive!"
Xu Xin checked the number of people in each area.
Well, not many died.
But not too little.
Originally, there were more than 50,000 people in all the areas that were still experiencing blizzards at the end. Now, there are 10,000 fewer people in total.
Now there are only over 40,000 people.
More than 10,000 people died.
The mortality rate is around 20%.
That’s okay.
These people who died probably used the coal too early. As a result, the coal ran out and they couldn't survive.
Maybe they froze to death in their sleep.
Judging from the World Channel, the vast majority of people who survived survived by burning coal until the end.
It seems that the coal he sent out yesterday still worked.
Now, the vast majority of people around the world have a great fondness for Explorers.
If one day, they can choose to defect, they will definitely choose Area 188 and the Explorer.
That's enough.
Sitting on the sofa, Xu Xin began to check private messages.
Shi Wanyun still didn't reply to his private message, and her private message still stuck to what she said at that time.
Fortunately, her name is still on, which at least means she is not dead.
"Logically speaking, according to my method, if she could succeed, she should have succeeded long ago?" Xu Xin said to herself.
He couldn't help but send a message to Shi Wanyun: "What's going on with you over there? Haven't you come back yet?"
He did not speak directly because he was afraid that there would be an accident among the mutated creatures on the other side.
He thought that the other party might not reply to him, but to his surprise, after only ten seconds, the other party replied: "I'm still here and haven't gone back yet."
oh?
She is...
Her next words made Xu Xin's pupils shrink sharply.
"I am now on the giant tree I showed you before."
ha?
On a giant tree? !
In his mind, the giant tree in the video that reached the sky, blocked out the sun, and was brightly lit at night immediately emerged.
Run to the giant tree?
Didn't she come back directly?
"Why did you go up there? What's going on up there?" he asked immediately.
"I have to come up. I'm busy now. I'll explain it to you when I get back. I should be able to go back soon."
Shi Wanyun left such a sentence, and then there was no sound again.
Xu Xin sent another inquiry, but she still had no reply.
What is going on with this woman?
He frowned tightly.
According to what she said before, around ten o'clock this morning should be the last time limit for her activities.
What on earth is she doing?
Instead of coming back quickly, you ran into the tree?
Have to go to a tree?
Didn't she say before that the roots of the tree are the destination?
Could it be that just reaching the root of the tree is not enough?
Xu Xin was very interested in that giant tree.
I hope nothing happens to her.
He stood up and looked out the window.
It's very normal and there is no problem.
Although at the end of the cold winter, his treehouse entered an upgrade and evolution stage, and its protective capabilities were slightly weakened.
He therefore asked other people around his tree house to be more careful at night.
But now it seems that the problem is not big.
In more than an hour, the upgrade of his tree house will be completed.
It seems that this "slightly weakened protective ability" is not a big deal to him.
After all, his tree house's protective ability has been enhanced several times. Even if it is slightly weakened, it is probably still stronger than the protective ability of ordinary tree houses.
Open the windows and let the breeze blow into the treehouse.
Cool morning breeze, but not cold.
The temperature outside had risen to over 20 degrees overnight.
"Ah...it's green."
Looking out the window, the ground and treetops are already dotted with dots of green.
Xu Xin's brows relaxed and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
It seems that the jungle will soon return to its vibrant state.
good.
The bare appearance now is really too depressing. Looking at it for a long time really affects my mood.
I really hope I can have a good rest today.
He immediately sent a message to Ji Chaoyang: "Are you sure there will be no problems today?"
Ji Chaoyang had also woken up and gave him a direct reply: "I'm not sure, but I can't see anything from the prophecy."
The two had direct phone calls.
"Can you predict twice now?" Xu Xin asked, "Can't you see anything even twice?"
"...After returning to the surface, I can only predict once." Ji Chaoyang's voice was a little helpless, "It seems that my ability can only be enhanced in the underground world. I still can't determine the reason."
Only in the underground world can abilities be enhanced?
"Are the rest of them like this?" Xu Xin asked.
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang said.
In the underground world, does this kind of effect exist?
"The picture in my prediction this time is a world of simple sunshine and vegetation beginning to sprout. I tried to extend the time of the prediction, but in the end I found nothing."
"Well, then hopefully we can be calmer today."
"It's better to be careful. Last night, there were more than a dozen people missing from District 1." Ji Chaoyang reminded.
Xu Xin frowned slightly: "Isn't the cold winter over?"
He previously deduced that this danger was a crisis for those of them in areas where blizzards had stopped in the cold winter.
"...Maybe it will continue for a while." Ji Chaoyang said, "Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that the winter was not over last night and ended this morning. In short, it depends on whether there will be any problems today. ”
"If there are still problems, you can help me a little. After all, we are already allies." Ji Chaoyang said.
Although there are strong people in Area 1, the number of resources they have is naturally not as good as theirs. Some of the ordinary survivors in Area 1 still do not have treehouse heavy crossbows.
It is indeed easy for problems to occur when the tree house has no defense capabilities.
They may be able to provide the most common treehouse heavy crossbow.
In this way, ordinary survivors in Area 1 can also know who they should defect to.
"Well, I think so too."
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin sat on the sofa and relaxed her whole body.
Today, if nothing happens, just relax a little.
During this time, I was really feeling a little tight and tired.
"Well..." In the tree house, the sound of Li Wenxi getting up from the bed was heard, and then with a snapping sound, she walked out of the bedroom.
"It's so hot..." She rubbed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes she saw Xu Xin sitting on the sofa, "Are you awake? It's already dawn... It's already very late..."
"It's just six o'clock." Xu Xin looked at her and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Put on some clothes, you'll catch a cold."
At this time, a cool breeze blew in through the open window, making her shiver slightly.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower first. The quilt is too thick and I'm sweating..."
With that said, she ran to the bathroom.
Looking at Li Wenxi's disappearing back, Xu Xin took a deep breath, finally couldn't help but stand up, and walked into the bathroom.
The sound in the bathroom made both Yinwang and Mimi couldn't help but look up.
……
The two people who came out of the bathroom lazily sat on the sofa, leaning against each other.
Coco also climbed out of the bedroom and climbed into Xu Xin's arms.
Although this little guy hasn't taken a bath, he's really not dirty at all.
"Suddenly I feel so tired and I don't want to move." Li Wenxi fell sideways into Xu Xin's arms, competing for position with Coco.
"Huh?" Coco stared at her with big eyes.
"Then give yourself a holiday. The resources of the Explorers are enough for us now, and you don't have to be so tired all the time."
"We have enough for ourselves. But if we still want to provide it to District 1..." Li Wenxi counted on her fingers, "It's not enough..."
"District 1?" Xu Xin shook his head, "Even if you want to help them, green-level resources are enough. You already have too many green-level resources to use up, right?"
Now that Li Wenxi is mining, green-level resources have almost become redundant by-products.
"That's true."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. New sprouts are sprouting in the jungle outside, have you seen it?" Xu Xin pinched her cheek and said.
"Sprout?" Li Wenxi sat up directly, "Really?"
She ran to the window and looked out.
"It's true! The jungle is finally turning green again!" Li Wenxi looked delighted, "It's great, I feel like when the jungle becomes green, we will be much safer!"
"...What is this?" Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
Li Wenxi looked back at him: "Think about it, in the entire jungle now, our tree house is the only one that is green, how conspicuous it is! But after the jungle becomes lush, the tree house is hidden in the jungle, so it is not easy to be found. ”
"When you say that, it seems true." Xu Xin smiled.
Makes sense, but not much.
As the jungle becomes more lush, the blood-striped tribe and mutated creatures in the jungle will become more difficult for survivors to discover.
After all, it is not easy to hide a person or an animal in a lush jungle.
Moreover, Xu Xin did not think that the enemy would not be able to find them because of the dense jungle.
Their location may have been discovered and located long ago.
So in fact, the lush jungle does more harm than good to them.
But he didn't say it.
Let’s relax a little today.
Xu Xin also got up and walked to the window to look out.
Outside the window, purple-black light pillars still appeared in all directions, and a purple-black arch bridge spanned the sky.
"Huh? Huh!" Coco suddenly shouted as she lay on the window sill and looked outside.
"Hey!" It pointed out with its little paws and shouted twice.
"What's wrong, Coco?" Xu Xin looked outside.
Coco's voice didn't sound like he was in danger, so he wasn't nervous either.
"嘤!"
"Hey! Look at those snow peaks!" Li Wenxi also discovered the clues, and with a startled voice, she immediately pointed to the unactivated snow peaks still standing in the distance.
These snow peaks...
"Are they... much shorter?" Li Wenxi covered the sun with her hands and squinted her eyes, "They must be shorter! They were much taller than this before!"
The snowy peaks are getting shorter!
In other words, these snow peaks are slowly sinking!
Sure enough, the two continued to observe for a while and determined that the snow peaks in the distance were indeed sinking at a slow speed.
"At this speed, I'm afraid all the snow peaks will sink into the ground in an hour."
"Hehe, fortunately we have unlocked several." Li Wenxi said with a smile.
Then, she said with some disappointment: "However, this time I did not make the rankings and did not receive this reward."
"Ah..." Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
Yes...
Yesterday, she should have been allowed to take a shortcut to climb the snow peak.
Although you cannot gain access to the teleportation array by climbing the snowy peak through shortcuts, you can receive rewards.
Now it seems that it is okay for Lou Fei'er to receive this reward, but it is too wasteful for Zeng Tao to receive it.
Zeng Tao’s tree house is just a low tree house!
What a waste...
"It's okay, it's just a thermostatic function." Xu Xin comforted, "If something happens, you can just live with me. My house is quite big."
"Well, that's right." Li Wenxi nodded and didn't care much.
Anyway, she basically sleeps with Xu Xin every night now.
Her tree house is almost becoming a metal smelting factory!
It was still early, and most people were probably not awake yet. The two of them were sitting on the sofa, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
"Well..." After about ten minutes, Li Wenxi sat up and frowned slightly, "Do you feel so hot..."
hot?
"Have you stayed in the cold winter for a long time and forgotten the original temperature of the jungle?" Xu Xin said with a smile, "You forgot the first stage. At that time, the temperature had to be cooled with saltpeter to be comfortable."
The upgrade of the tree house has not yet been completed, and the temperature inside the tree house will still be affected by the environment.
The temperature inside the room has gradually risen to nearly 30 degrees.
Of course, it is still cooler now than before when the temperature was above 35 degrees and even close to 40 degrees at noon.
"Oh, that's right." Li Wenxi also responded, a little embarrassed and said, "It's been so cold, I forgot about it."
"However, yesterday I was still using the fireplace to make a fire, and today I have to use saltpeter to cool it down." Li Wenxi sighed.
Outside the window, the green buds in the jungle are growing rapidly. Only a few dozen minutes have passed, and they are already dotted with tender green.
A map appeared in Xu Xin's mind.
Is this guy Qin Fu actually still inside the hilly resource area?
This guy won't encounter any difficulties, right?
If he doesn't come back, it's time for him to go take a look.
"...It's so hot, so hot." Li Wenxi suddenly sat up straight, no longer leaning on Xu Xin, and fanned herself with her hands, "The temperature changes so much, I can't stand it!"
The current temperature has risen to about thirty-five degrees, which is almost the same as before.
...?
wrong!
Xu Xin frowned.
This temperature is a bit strange!
The temperature in the jungle has indeed been this high before, but it was always near noon.
But it’s only around six o’clock in the morning!
Even before, this time period would not have exceeded thirty degrees!
This is the temperature now, what about noon?
This...
His eyes slowly opened wide, and then the corners of his eyes twitched.
"...No way?" (End of Chapter)
