Chapter 545 Have you taken a shower?

Chapter 545 Have you taken a shower?

Xu Xin was discussing something with Ji Chaoyang under the World Tree.

He met Ji Chaoyang on the way back, and neither of them returned to the tree house. While observing the sky outside the city, they discussed what they should do next.

Although the Crystal City was still illuminated by the bright white light at this time, the sky outside the city had become completely dark. The stars that were originally all over the sky looked extremely dim against the bright white light, and not many of them could be seen.

"I went to see those mutant creatures outside Crystal City. There are indeed a lot of them, but... the level can only be said to be average." Ji Chaoyang was not very satisfied with the strength of the mutant creatures outside, and said with some helplessness, " Judging from their current capabilities, the negative impact on our Crystal City may far outweigh the positive impact.”

Do the negatives far outweigh the positives?

Xu Xin could understand Ji Chaoyang's point of view.

Although the number of intermediate mutant creatures in this beast wave has indeed increased,... they are basically just mutant creatures that have just been promoted to the intermediate level.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. They are just the first wave of beasts to besiege the World Tree. Naturally, the first wave of beasts cannot attack the king.

Thinking about it, the mission of these mutated creatures should be to test the effect of this strange crystal city. On this basis, it would be better if it can harm the World Tree.

They did not cause any harm to the World Tree, but perhaps their mission was accomplished.

Therefore, the individual strength of this batch of mutated creatures is naturally not very strong, but there are just a lot of them.

What Crystal City captured was only a very small part of it.

Moreover, to be honest, the giant beast blood of these mutated creatures is not very strong. It is just the normal concentration of beasts in this world. It is basically not as concentrated as Silver King Mimi, and may not even be as strong as Ah Fu.

Judging from their strength, if they were to form the first line of defense outside Crystal City, I'm afraid the results would not be very good.

After all, whatever they can defend against, Crystal City can basically defend directly.

Crystal City cannot stop attacks by beasts with only mutated bloodline, such as the pterosaurs from before, or attacks by high-tech weapons...

In the face of these, do they really make any difference?

It feels very suspense...

"This is indeed what I think." Ji Chaoyang sighed, "Their role always feels like the icing on the cake, but I'm afraid they will cause us a lot of trouble if they stay here."

As he spoke, he looked towards the periphery: "I just took one of my survivors to the periphery. Some mutated creatures have woken up in the periphery, but..."

Xu Xin's eyelids twitched: "You mean...they are not friendly to survivors?"

"Yes, and no." Ji Chaoyang pointed at himself, "They are very friendly to me, and they will even come up to show their kindness to me. But towards the person I brought, they showed a sense of strangeness and hostility."

...This is actually the case!

"This is a big problem." Xu Xin frowned.

At that time, there were Lou Feier, Jin Yue, Wen Guixin, and Coco beside him. None of the affected mutated creatures showed any hostility, and their inner monologues were all friendly.

This situation made him directly acquiesce that these mutated creatures affected by Crystal City would be friendly to them, the survivors.

Or maybe it will be friendly to the survivors whose tree houses have been transplanted into Crystal City.

But judging from what Ji Chaoyang said...

"It is indeed a big problem." Ji Chaoyang said in a deep voice, "We will use this place as our base in the future. If there is a chance, more survivors will move in here in the future, so the safety of the mutant creatures on the periphery must be Guaranteed.”

"But now it seems that although they have not taken action, they are not close to each other. They may not pose a threat to the survivors now, but what about in the future? If the resources in the surrounding jungle are not enough to keep this group of mutant creatures We fill our bellies..."

Xu Xin nodded slowly: "Maybe they won't attack us, but the safety of others is in danger..."

"This is just one of them." Ji Chaoyang stretched out a second finger and said, "There is also a second point. These affected mutated creatures are not just the large beasts you see."

As he spoke, he pointed to the west of Crystal City: "The crystal house over there... is crawling with small mutated creatures. Of course, small means smaller than the ones you see, for example... like... Rats as big as cats are crawling all over the house. ”

This...

Just thinking about it makes me feel a little sick...

"Most survivors still cannot accept this existence."

"What do you think we should do?" Xu Xin rubbed his head in distress.

Rats and other things can be overcome, but the problem of hostility is indeed a big problem...

Ji Chaoyang was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I don't have a good idea."

He looked up at the World Tree. The height of the World Tree was still rising slowly, but the fastest growing thing at this time was its crown.

The dense tree canopy is still extending in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Countless thigh-thick roots hang down from the tree crown, and some have fallen to the ground, slightly blocking the view.

Fortunately, the distance between these roots is relatively large and will not affect normal movements. It is like a street light on the road. Although the roots are there, normal people will not think that the street light is an obstacle.

These green roots are even more green against the white light, making the surrounding area as beautiful as a fairyland.

At this time, there were already many survivors wandering around under the tree house.

Ji Chaoyang glanced at the survivors: "The World Tree has not fully grown yet, and its role is not yet clear. It is difficult to draw conclusions now, but I have a direction."

As he spoke, he touched his backpack and took out a bottle of potion.

"This is... giant beast potion?"

It was the giant beast potion left for them in the crystal room.

A medicine that allows creatures to acquire the bloodline of giant beasts, or enhance the bloodline of existing giant beasts, while accelerating the growth of the body and quickly growing into giant beasts.

The number of this kind of medicine is much larger than that of [Gene Medicine], and the number is at least thousands.

"My idea is to select the stronger ones from these mutated creatures and let them take the behemoth potion to become real behemoths and become our help."

Ji Chaoyang shook the giant beast potion for oral administration in the potion bottle.

"As for the other mutated creatures... I haven't decided how to deal with them yet. I need to wait until the World Tree grows up before deciding. Maybe now, we should try to give one of the mutated creatures a potion to test the effect. But at least we can't Keeping them for nothing.”

Xu Xin was thoughtful, and just about to say something, his watch suddenly vibrated.

He raised his hand and saw that it was Zeng Tao calling.

His eyes lit up: "It seems that Shi Wanyun is awake."

The voice connection was connected, and sure enough, Zeng Tao's voice came over there: "Xu Xin, Shi Wanyun is awake, come here quickly!"

Ji Chaoyang was also attracted attention.

Xu Xin had told him about Shi Wanyun's situation before, so he naturally knew what the situation was like now.

"How is she doing now?" Xu Xin asked.

"She's in good condition, and she still has a smile on her face, but she doesn't say anything when I ask her. She just waits for you to come back. I'm really..." Zeng Tao's voice was very dissatisfied.

"Okay, I understand, I'll go back right away."

After hanging up, Xu Xin looked at Ji Chaoyang: "Do you want to come together?"

"No." Ji Chaoyang shook his head, "I haven't had much contact with her. My presence may have an impact. It's better for you to go alone and be careful. I also have something to be busy with here."

"Okay."

Xu Xin quickly arrived at Zeng Tao's tree house.

Then he discovered that he could no longer control the roots of Zeng Tao's tree house.

This actually surprised him.

But... indeed.

Now Zeng Tao's tree house should be regarded as...parasitic on the World Tree?

Don't tell me, maybe his tree house is parasitic on the World Tree, but it just retains the core of the tree house.

"Once..."

Before he could speak, the roots of the tree house suddenly hung down, and then he was pulled up.

Zeng Tao walked up to Xu Xin in two steps, raised her head and smiled at him, "Haha, you can't just enter my tree house now. It feels much safer here immediately!"

Xu Xin glanced at her: "Are you not safe yet?"

In every sense of the word, she was safe.

Zeng Tao looked down at himself, then thought of something, suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "What do you mean, you..."

As a result, Xu Xin had already bypassed her and walked to the bed.

There was a yawning Mimi lying there beside the bed.

Shi Wanyun, who was originally lying on the bed in a coma, had already sat up from the bed and tidied up his somewhat messy hair.

Her skin is much fairer and smoother than before, and her face is much rosier.

The clothes on her body were soaked with sweat and were stained translucently on her body. Her slightly embarrassed image outlined a beautiful scene that Zeng Tao could not have.

At this time, she looked at Xu Xin with a smile on her face.

Xu Xin looked her up and down: "Have you... taken a shower?"

"... Take a shower?" Shi Wanyun was startled for a moment, then he understood something and said softly, "Not yet. If you want to do that kind of thing, I can take a shower. But... I don't have any experience in this area, so I probably won't. To your satisfaction.”

Xu Xin was speechless: "...I didn't mean that, I meant..."

This woman...

"You bastard! You are still thinking about this kind of thing! You...oh wait...that's right! Why don't you take a shower?"

Zeng Tao looked at Shi Wanyun and was a little surprised: "I didn't even notice it just now. Why didn't you... just... not shed your skin?"

"Shedding?" Shi Wanyun was startled at first, then thoughtfully asked, "Is this what happened after injecting this medicine?"

Xu Xin's heart moved and she asked: "Do you know what 'sloughing' Zeng Tao said? Have you experienced it before?"

After the injection of genetic medicine, because the metabolism was accelerated for a time, the skin was also shed layer by layer, as if it were the molting of a reptile.

But who among ordinary people would know what molting is? Shi Wanyun's attitude clearly shows that he knows what molting means.

"Yes." Shi Wanyun nodded lightly, "Does it mean that the skin falls off layer by layer and new skin grows back?"

"Ah? Have you really experienced this?" Zeng Tao said in surprise.

"I have indeed experienced what you call 'sloughing' on the giant tree on the back side of the planet that is very similar to the one you planted."

"Oh?"

Xu Xin immediately moved a chair and sat across from her: "You are finally going to tell your experience."

"Of course." Shi Wanyun nodded lightly, "I said, as long as you can meet my requirements, I will tell you everything."

"You said before you passed out that you are his now." Zeng Tao sat down on the bed, her small body making the special purple-level bed creak, and she looked at her suspiciously, "You don't want to throw yourself into my arms, do you?"

"If he wants to... I just mind that I can't satisfy him." Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin and chuckled.

"...Let's stop this topic." Xu Xin's head was full of black lines, "Now, tell me your current situation."

This woman has changed a lot.

Can you believe her?

Shi Wanyun looked at her hands and clenched her fists lightly: "I'm completely out of control. I have no reason to stand on their side now."

"Okay, then say what you should say." Xu Xin stopped talking nonsense, "Tell me what you experienced on the back of the planet and why you came here."

"...Before that, there is something I want to tell you first." Shi Wanyun's expression was a little hesitant, but he still spoke.

"What?"

"...This time's tide of beasts can be said to be... caused by me." Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

Xu Xin's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Huh?" Zeng Tao on the side opened his eyes wide, "Did you attract it? What are you talking about?"

"...Meow?" Mimi, who was lying next to her, slowly stood up from her lying position.

Zeng Tao and Mimi were responsible for guarding Shi Wanyun throughout this period, and they did not notice anything else she had done.

"Elaborate." Xu Xin looked at her and said.

He had long guessed that this tide of beasts had something to do with Shi Wanyun.

"...I just act as a coordinate." Shi Wanyun said softly, "As long as I am here, survivors in other areas can easily complete what they want to do."

coordinate? Outer Zone Survivors?

Xu Xin said nothing and continued to listen to her explanation.

Seeing that Xu Xin didn't speak, Shi Wanyun was silent for a moment and continued: "My mission in this operation is to provide the survivors in the outer area with the destination location and guide them to teleport these mutated creatures to the correct location. ”

"Mission?"

"Through that voice." Shi Wanyun raised his hand and pointed to his forehead, "I could still hear that voice until I injected the medicine, but I can't hear it now."

Indeed it is.

"I should have put you in the bracelet directly from the beginning." Xu Xin shook his head.

"It's useless." Shi Wanyun said softly, "I can do it even with the bracelet, and it's easier without surveillance."

"You, you, you..." Zeng Tao stared at her, "How come I didn't notice what you did at all!"

Shi Wanyun turned his head slightly and looked at her: "Because I really didn't do anything."

"Ah?" Zeng Tao was a little confused, "Why haven't you done anything?"

Then she looked at Xu Xin again and said with apology in her voice: "I had no choice at that time. I had no way to control myself. As long as I am here, I can play the role of coordinates."

Xu Xin looked at her.

She also looked at Xu Xin, with a shift in her eyes, and she didn't dodge, not like she was lying.

"In that case, first tell me everything you know about the siege of World Tree." Xu Xin looked at her and said, "Don't tell me that you can't tell me yet."

"Of course you can, I said, I will tell you everything I know." I finally resurrected my friends with full health, and there are no major problems except coughing!
