Chapter 581 Missing in preparation for battle
To be honest, Xu Xin really wanted to go with her.
That's District 1, a territory I've never set foot on.
But thinking about Xu Ying's instructions to him, asking him not to go out again until the World Tree grows up, and thinking about the monster's move to send someone to kill him...
He is not very afraid that something will go wrong, at least now he feels that there should be no problem around Crystal City, or even in Area 188 under the influence of the World Tree.
But the place Shi Wanyun wants to go is District 1.
Area 1 is not within the protection of World Tree or Crystal City, and there have been situations like Shi Wanyun's.
His past was basically equivalent to throwing himself into a trap.
Moreover, although Shi Wanyun himself can teleport, he must use a teleportation device.
In other words, she can only teleport back to her tree house, or... to the weird World Tree on the back of the earth.
If she wants to meet other powerful people in Area 1, she must use the teleportation array there to teleport between the teleportation arrays in Area 1.
The teleportation formation over there is completely in the opponent's hands. If he dares to use it...
Who knows if he will be tricked or transported to an unknown place.
Now that the half-human, half-alien monster with eyes all over its body clearly wants to kill him, he must not run around.
"...I won't go with you, but you can't go by yourself. After all, your situation is not optimistic now."
Xu Xin looked at Shi Wanyun who was drawing teleportation formation patterns on the ground with the blood of mutated creatures.
"So, are you afraid that I will run away?" Shi Wanyun paused in his movements and raised his head to look at him.
"I said, I already trust you." Xu Xin waved his hand, "But now, you are equivalent to...the traitor over there."
"...You're right." Shi Wanyun continued to draw the teleportation formation, "But I don't think that monster would work hard on a little person like me."
"Judging from No. 5's attitude, you are not a nobody, but an indispensable genius." Xu Xin shook his head.
Then, he opened his watch, made a voice call to Lou Fei'er, and explained the situation to her.
"Accompany Shi Wanyun to Area 1? Okay, no problem!" Lou Feier immediately agreed.
"Is Jinyue by your side?"
"Yes, do you want her to come too?"
"Well, you two are both people who have been injected with genetic medicine, and you also have the physical strength of mutated blood, so it is most suitable."
"What about Little Taozi? Do you want her to come too?" Lou Feier asked.
"Yes! I want to go too!" Zeng Tao's voice came from the other side. It was obvious that they were all together. "I'm going crazy here, let me go too!"
"You can't." Xu Xin refused unceremoniously, "You haven't been injected with genetic medicine yet, and don't forget, you still have important tasks."
She also needs to cooperate with Ma Hongwei to make a heavy thermal weapon that can be carried!
Besides that, there is another reason.
He chose Lou Fei'er and Jin Yue because Yingying had determined that Lou Fei'er was not a member of their team, and it was basically impossible for Jin Yue to be.
The two of them are the least likely to be targeted by alien invaders, and the two of them are also the least dangerous.
But Zeng Tao herself has special abilities, and she is still likely to be a member of the research team like Qin Fu in that time and space.
If she goes, there might be some unnecessary trouble.
"Well..." Zeng Tao suddenly made a somewhat aggrieved voice, "Okay, I understand..."
"Then let's go there now?" Lou Fei'er's voice was slightly excited. She probably felt that going to Area 1 was very exciting, and her tone was already a little impatient.
"This is not for fun." Xu Xin warned, "This action of yours is very dangerous. Please be careful. You and Jin Yue go and prepare. When you are ready, come..."
He glanced at Shi Wanyun.
Shi Wanyun was still lying on the ground drawing the teleportation pattern, and whispered without raising his head: "Let them come here, I will take them to my tree house first."
"Just come to my tree house, Shi Wanyun will take you there."
"Okay, we'll go there when we're ready!"
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin called Ji Chaoyang again and explained the situation to him.
"That's it. How are things going with you over there?" Xu Xin asked.
"I have told all the survivors on the regional channel that the entire area 188 is now protected by the World Tree, and they can come to us at any time. Now most of them are moved and want to take action.
In Area 1, I also sent out the same invitation on the alliance channel and informed them of the advantages here. Now the survivors in Area 1 are starting to make a move. ”
Ji Chaoyang's tone was slightly more relaxed than before.
"...In other words, there is only one fuse left." Xu Xin looked at Shi Wanyun who was still drawing the teleportation formation pattern.
"Well, I hope Shi Wanyun can succeed."
When he hung up the call, Shi Wanyun just finished drawing the last stroke of the teleportation formation pattern, propped up his body and stood up.
Then, he sat on the sofa and made no next move.
"Don't you need to prepare?" Xu Xin looked at her and asked.
"Me? No need." Shi Wanyun shook his head gently, "I have everything in my tree house."
That's right, she is going back to her tree house now, and what preparations need to be made to go home.
"By the way, wait a moment."
Xu Xin swiped her watch and found an item with a random increase.
If Shi Wanyun slept in his tree house for more than three hours, she could be given a randomly increased ability.
But you can't choose. Which one you get randomly depends on luck.
Xu Xin immediately chose to give Shi Wanyun abilities.
[Shi Wanyun gains affinity increase]
A beep sounds.
Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "This is really... you can do whatever you want."
Shi Wanyun's eyes widened in surprise: "Random increase? I...how did I get a random increase?"
She looked at Xu Xin with a puzzled look on her face: "Can your tree house also give me the ability to randomly increase?"
Xu Xin did not answer her question, but looked her over and said with a smile: "When you first met me, you really had an increase in affinity."
The feeling Shi Wanyun gave him at this time was very similar to the feeling when he first met him in the underground crystal city.
It's the kind of feeling that makes people want to trust.
Moreover, this feeling is even more obvious now that he is familiar with her.
"Well... indeed there is." Shi Wanyun nodded, and then suddenly said, "If the tree house decoration is high enough, can the random increase be shared with other people?"
"Well, the decoration level of my treehouse has reached 1000, and I can share the random increase with another person."
"1000..." Shi Wanyun opened his mouth slightly, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I have just passed 500. You are indeed... too strong."
Thinking of what she did when she first met Xu Xin, she felt a little ashamed.
"Affinity increase." Xu Xin sat on the sofa, touched the tail of Coco who had been lying on the sofa, and said with a smile, "This is indeed the most suitable increase for you now."
She is going to persuade people to join her now, and the effect of increasing affinity can be perfectly reflected.
The last time Li Wenxi was random, it was also an increase in affinity.
The probability of this affinity increase occurring is really high.
At this time, Lou Fei'er's voice came from under the tree house: "Xu Xin, we are here!"
Xu Xin immediately pulled Lou Feier and Jin Yue up from below the tree house.
As soon as the two entered the house, they saw a teleportation pattern on the ground that was slightly larger than the manhole cover.
"Did you just draw this?" Lou Fei'er immediately came over, squatted down and observed it carefully.
Jin Yue also came over and stood beside Xu Xin.
Both of them were wearing purple-grade steel armor.
With such high-level armor, at least there shouldn't be much danger when facing mutant creatures of intermediate level or below.
"Are the weapons, equipment, medicines... all ready?"
Xu Xin asked one last question.
"Of course, there is no problem!" Lou Feier stood up and patted her chest.
Jin Yue also nodded: "You can leave at any time."
"Okay, let's set off now. You two, hold on to me." Shi Wanyun walked to the middle of the teleportation formation.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue immediately grabbed her arms.
The formation glowed with blood-red light, which was then replaced by purple-black light.
Then, a vortex appeared.
"We're leaving...ah!"
Following Lou Fei'er's exclamation, Shi Wanyun pulled the two of them and fell directly into it.
After the three people disappeared, the vortex on the ground quickly shrank into a purple-black light spot, and finally disappeared.
Also disappearing were the teleportation formation patterns drawn by Shi Wanyun.
The originally dark red teleportation array pattern now has no trace left.
"It's a one-time use." Xu Xin squatted down and touched the ground with some curiosity.
There really aren't any traces left.
At this moment, his watch vibrated.
He raised his hand and saw that it was Shi Wanyun calling.
"We have arrived at my tree house. There is no danger here for the time being, but... Lou Fei'er's watch cannot contact you."
The watch doesn’t work again?
"That's right. Originally, I wanted to send you a voice message to tell you that we arrived safely, but it turned out that this broken watch couldn't be used anymore." Lou Fei'er's voice sounded disgusted and helpless.
...Is it because the watch is too far away from her own tree house?
No, Shi Wanyun was still using his watch to communicate with him on the other side of the world.
It seems there are other situations.
"Anyway, pay more attention to your surroundings when you act. Don't be taken away again like Shi Wanyun did last time."
After a few instructions, Xu Xin hung up the call and prepared to get off the tree house.
"Hey!" Coco yelled and climbed onto his shoulder.
After bringing Coco down, Xu Xin found the pangolin cave next to his tree house.
He looked inside.
This cave is not as deep as the last one, only four or five meters deep, but at this time, extremely thick protrusions can be seen on the cave floor.
This should be the root system of the World Tree.
The reason why we didn't continue to dig holes was because it was blocked by the roots of the World Tree.
Deep in the cave, three pangolins were huddled there.
"Hey!" Coco yelled and jumped directly in from the entrance of the cave.
Xu Xin also slid into it.
The giant pangolin still looks like a mutated creature, but the blood lines on its body are much darker, and its size is also larger than before.
This should be... the credit of Crystal City.
Seeing Xu Xin, it raised its head slightly and called out softly.
The size of the two little pangolins at this time is not small at all.
Although not as big as their mother, they can no longer be called "little pangolins".
Including the tail, the body length is already close to two meters, right?
"Huh..." Coco stood upright and stared blankly at the two pangolins in front of him that were originally smaller than him.
He didn't seem to understand why these two little guys were growing up so fast.
When the two pangolins saw Xu Xin coming down, they immediately lay down, barked twice, and rubbed against Xu Xin's trouser legs.
Although their bodies are two meters long, their scales are obviously still smooth and tender, and their calls are still almost as tender as before.
However, their claws are not much weaker than their mother's claws.
Xu Xin could completely imagine how fast they could dig with these sharp claws.
"Crossing the mountain" shouldn't be a problem.
Xu Xin immediately explained the situation to them.
The pangolin family naturally agreed readily, and if the time came, they would directly join the fight.
Moreover, they followed Xu Xin out of the hole, crawled towards the surrounding ravines being dug, and joined in the excavation of the ravines.
The excavation of the gully mobilized almost all survivors in Crystal City.
"Ah, Brother Xin, you're here!" Wang Lei was standing in a ravine five or six meters deep, raising his head and waving to Xu Xin.
"You dug very quickly."
"Hey, with this advanced tool, it doesn't take much effort. One shovel is a large piece of soil." Wang Lei patted his backpack, "I've collected them all. These soils are all high-end soil!"
During this time, the purple soil around the World Tree was also gradually increasing.
Not only the ground, there is also high-grade soil underground.
Around here, the excavated soil is at least blue-level soil, which are all soil resources.
With the addition of three pangolins, the excavation progress has accelerated a lot.
The progress of the three pangolins was almost as fast as the overall speed of the survivors.
then. The pangolins were digging in front, a few survivors came from behind to collect soil, and the other survivors continued digging.
Soon, the entire trench was dug to a depth of seven or eight meters, and continued to be dug downward.
Xu Xin also helped for a while, and then was pushed out by other survivors and asked to do other things.
After all, he is busy here, and his efficiency is no different from that of ordinary survivors. One more person than him is not much.
It would be nice to have Wang Lei directing us below.
In fact, digging this kind of work feels more professional and appropriate if it is left to Li Wenxi to direct.
It's a pity that Wen Xi is not here.
However, Yingying also said that they should be able to come back after the World Tree grows.
……
"What did you say?!" Xu Ying slapped the table, "Wei Bai is missing?!"
"Yes, grandpa, he disappeared after leaving the Yuan family." Wei Shishi's expression was also ugly.
"Could it be the Yuan family..." Li Wenxi immediately turned to look at the tall building outside the window, "They have been infiltrated by alien forces?"
"No... at least not on the surface." Wei Shishi looked at the tablet in her hand and frowned, "Grandpa did walk out of the Yuan family's gate and got into his car, but..."
< br>
"That car is missing?" Xu Ying asked.
"Yes, that car cannot be traced!"
"You should install cameras on the streets, right?" Li Wenxi pointed outside, "I've seen several of them before."
"It is installed, but some cameras have been malfunctioning recently, and we have repaired them several times. This time too, within the jurisdiction of the malfunctioning camera, grandpa's vehicle... disappeared directly!"
The three women all looked solemn.
Wei Bai is the head of the Wei family!
And controlled most of the power of the Wei family.
His disappearance at this critical moment makes it hard not to think of something bad.
"No, this matter is too strange." Wei Shishi stood up suddenly, "Grandpa is missing. I have the power to temporarily use the power of the Wei family. I must use military force!"
Xu Ying and Li Wenxi looked at each other.
Both of them were a little concerned about what Wei Shishi said just now.
【Cameras are always malfunctioning recently】
This time a camera malfunctioned and Weibo disappeared.
What about before?
Didn't something happen with the previous failure?
...could it be said that the inner ghosts lurking in the crowd are ready to take action? (End of chapter)
