Perhaps it was because his appearance was so pleasing to the eye, his tone was so kind, and there was a cute little creature lying on his shoulder and crying, the man in the tree house poked his head out again.
The owner of the tree house is a man of ordinary appearance, who appears to be around twenty years old, the age of a boy still in college.
"Um, where are you from?" the man asked cautiously.
"I came all the way from the north. I've been walking all day. It's almost dark now, and I just found your tree house."
"North?" The man was stunned for a moment, then he murmured to himself, "Oh my god, it can't be the big boss in the north!" Then he said, "Um, you, what are you doing here?"
"I just felt that since the reserve has been expanded, maybe I could find other survivors, so I came out to take a look. I've only been able to communicate with other people through voice chat for a long time, and I feel like I'm becoming a homebody." Xu Xin showed an excited expression, "After searching for so long, I finally found a real person, that's great! By the way!"
Xu Xin took out a piece of mutant beast meat from his backpack and said sincerely, "A lot of people are hungry now, and you probably don't have much food. I have a piece of meat here, take it as a gift."
He was not afraid that this person would attack him because of the money. If that was the case, he would be able to kill this person and rob his tree house without any psychological barriers. Anyway, they were not from the same region, so there was a high probability that they would end up fighting.
"Fuck! Meat!" The man exclaimed in shock at the mutant beast meat that Xu Xin took out. He swallowed and wiped the corners of his mouth. He didn't have any bad intentions, but asked excitedly: "This... are you really giving it to me?"
Even though he had been through life and death trials, he had been dealing with wild beasts and mutated monsters, plus he had been chatting with other people on the regional channel, so he was not too wary of people. Instead, he felt friendly. After all, he hadn't seen a real person for a long time.
Xu Xin could also feel that when he heard himself shouting below, his exclamation was more of excitement than fear.
"Of course, I don't have much here, but the meat is easy to spoil and I can't finish it." Xu Xin raised the meat in his hand.
"嘤!" Coco waved her little paws at the man above. Her cute look attracted both men and women, and the man immediately wanted to touch her.
"Is that... a red panda?" he asked tentatively.
"Yes, I found it in the jungle. I thought it was very cute, but it would be too lonely for me to keep it alone, so I raised it." Xu Xin reached out and touched Coco's little head, and Coco rubbed it actively.
"This... is amazing! Protecting animals!" The man looked envious.
This man and this beast really look harmless.
"Well... then... how about you come up and sit here?" He couldn't help but say this, but he regretted it right after he said it. Was he a little too reckless
"Hmm..." Xu Xin showed an awkward expression, "This... let's forget it, we just met..."
Seeing that Xu Xin seemed to be hesitant and afraid of him, he suddenly gained confidence. He felt that the man in front of him was not a very strong bad guy. He immediately said, "Hey, we are all survivors who came to this world alone. What are we afraid of? We still need to stick together for warmth!"
As he spoke, he disappeared from the window, and then there was a shaking under the tree canopy. Then, he came out of the tree house and came under the tree house.
This man looked ordinary, neither ugly nor handsome, a little shorter than Xu Xin, more than 1.7 meters tall, neither fat nor thin, wearing a green-level leather armor. In short, from the outside, there was nothing outstanding about him, and he was a passerby who no one would notice if he was mixed in the crowd.
Simply put, they are ordinary people, very common ordinary people.
Xu Xin handed him the mutant beast meat in his hand.
"Oh, that's so bad!" The other person said this and quickly took the meat away. It was obvious that he was very greedy for the piece of meat in Xu Xin's hand.
After taking the piece of meat, the other party was obviously much more enthusiastic and even extended his hand to him: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Le Youfang. You should have heard of my name. I am very active on the regional channel."
It seems that the other party also thinks that the area so close to him must be the same area.
“This… ? Sorry, I don’t have any impression. My name is Xu Feng.” Xu Xin glanced at his hand and stretched out his own hand.
He did not say his real name. You know, his name is at the top of the list of the rainy season and the first place in this defense battle. I am afraid that even in other areas, there are few people who don't know it.
"I've shared this guide several times before! During the last rainy season, I was the first one to suggest that everyone move their things to the second floor as soon as possible! Do you remember?" The person on the other end seemed very confident in his own popularity.
“…Is there?” Xu Xin pretended to know nothing.
"No way? Aren't you from Jungle 187?"
District 187! It’s a neighboring district!
This made Xu Xin feel relieved. As for the neighboring districts, the regional distribution should not be very complicated. They should be arranged in order and then mixed with each other. He was also worried that there would be 3 districts, 56 districts, etc. That would be troublesome, and the regional distribution would be a mess.
However, there doesn’t seem to be any strong survivors in Area 187. At least, there was no one from Area 187 on the list during the previous rainy season.
In order to quickly understand the outside area of District 187, Xu Xin planned to show his hand directly: "District 187? I am from District 188?"
"Ah?" Le Youfang was a little dumbfounded. He was stunned for a second, then clapped his hands, "Could it be that the two of us are at the edge of the area?"
"It's very likely!" Xu Xin showed an interested expression, "Brother, what's the situation in your District 187? Let's get to know each other. I really came out at the right time. I actually found someone from another district."
"Who said it wasn't! Haha, hurry up, let's exchange information. I want to be the first person to know about the outside districts!... Wait! District 188? Shit, weren't the first and second places in the ranking of all districts during the last rainy season yours, District 188?"
Le Youfang didn't bring up the matter again. After all, it was not appropriate to let a stranger into the house. The two of them just started talking under the tree house.
From the other party, Xu Xin learned a lot about District 187, and similarly, he was also told some things about District 188.
"Oh my god, your district has such a strong boss, you are so lucky!" Le Youfang heard about their district's situation and was full of envy, "More than a thousand people died in our district last night! More than a thousand! Now there are only more than 800 people in the whole district!"
From him, Xu Xin learned a lot about their district.
In District 187, they don't have top experts like Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, nor do they have an organization like the Explorers that brings together experts like a "Strategy Group". Basically everyone fights on their own.
Because the top experts rarely share strategies, the number of people who die in every activity they have is more than that in Xu Xin's area.
Last night was the most tragic night in their district.
In the battle last night, if it weren't for the smoke from the burning heart fragments to disperse the mutated vines around the tree house, it would have been impossible to survive the night.
There was indeed an elder in their area who distributed plant heart fragments to them, but there was only one elder. In the end, only more than 800 people got enough fragments to survive the night and fought for the light that came all night. Those who did not get the fragments basically all died within an hour after the disaster.
"You don't know, the words they left on the regional channel before they died were so vicious..." Le Youfang said with some lingering feelings, "I now feel that their undead spirits will come to attack us in the future..."
Xu Xin wanted to tell him to believe in science, but when he thought that science could not explain how he got here, he stopped talking.
The number of people in their Jungle Zone 187 regional channel also plummeted by 1,000 within an hour, leaving only more than 800 people.
Xu Xin had killed a plant heart before, and he knew very well that the big boss in District 187 was indeed trying his best to save the lives of people in the same district.
Like them, the explorers, a total of four people obtained heart fragments, and the weight obtained by each person was between nine and ten tons. In order to drive away the vines for a whole night, from six o'clock in the evening until the end of the activity at six o'clock in the morning, each survivor would need twelve kilograms of heart fragments.
In other words, each person's heart fragments can actually only save more than 800 people. This elder really did his best.
Fortunately, he did not distribute the heart fragments equally to everyone in the district, otherwise, everyone would have died in the second half of the night.
Last night's defense battle was indeed too brutal.
District 187 was actually lucky, as some areas were probably wiped out in the defense battle last night. Or the elders in some areas were unwilling to share, resulting in only a few people left in the entire area. This possibility was very high.
To be honest, if he and Ji Chaoyang had not figured out that they would have to fight as a team in the future, they might not have gone to so much trouble to move the plant vines back to the tree house and break them down into pieces to distribute them to other survivors. This was indeed too troublesome.
So when Leyou Fang learned that all the people on Xu Xin's side were saved, he was stunned. He really didn't expect that District 188 would be able to survive such a disaster without any casualties!
"Can I switch to your District 188? I also want to be led by the boss!" Le Youfang's face was full of envy.
"You were saved by your boss, is it okay to defect like this?" Xu Xin joked. However, he was also calculating in his mind whether he could turn people from different regions into his region through the parasitic tree house
You know, the parasitic tree house he has now grown is the tree house in other areas. I just don’t know if the owner of the tree house, that is, the survivor, can be brought back together.
"What's the matter with defecting or not? Whether I leave or not, it won't affect the boss's continued performance." Le Youfang said indifferently.
Xu Xin had already obtained the information he wanted and was ready to leave. He had a pleasant conversation with Le Youfang and was not going to attack him. Moreover, he might be able to test on him in the future whether he could turn people from other regions into people from this region.
Looking at the sky, Xu Xin said, "It's getting late. If we stay any longer, it will be dark. The jungle is too dangerous at night. I have to go back, brother. I remember the location of your tree house. Let's meet again next time we have a chance!"
"Oh, okay. Your tree house is in the north, right? I'll come find you when I have time! Oh, by the way!" Le Youfang looked at Keke who was dozing off on Xu Xin's shoulder, and said with shining eyes, "Brother Xu Feng, can you let me touch your little panda? This little guy is so cute! I was just staring at it!"
His words woke Coco up from her sleep. After vaguely understanding what he meant, she let out a "嘤" and quickly flew behind Xu Xin, grinning at Le Youfang.
The meaning is very clear, don't let him touch it.
Xu Xin spread his hands helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. It won't let you touch it. I put a lot of effort into taming it. It's basically impossible to touch it when you first meet it."
He lied, he had seduced Coco away for a red berry.
However, the fact that Coco didn't let others touch her confirmed his previous guess.
He really seemed to have a great attraction to animals and was naturally able to make them feel favorable towards him. This was particularly evident with the ornamental fish he had treated before.
In fact, now that I think about it, he conquered both Silver King Mimi and his beloved concubine with just his words. Only Ah Fu, who had no self-will at the time, was conquered by intimidation.
"Okay..." Le Youfang looked at Keke reluctantly, then said, "Goodbye, Brother Xu Feng. I hope we can meet again in the future."
"Maybe there will be a world channel soon? Then we can communicate using the tree house."
“That makes sense!”
Thinking he waved his hand, Xu Xin went into the jungle and came to where the three mutant beasts were hiding.
Mimi's strength had fully recovered. Xu Xin mounted the wolf's back and started to rush back.
The information obtained during this outing was unexpectedly much, and all the previous speculations should be confirmed.
Competition between regions is really coming, and perhaps the first step is to clean up the surrounding territory.
