The next day, he was awakened by the cold wind blowing in through the gap in the half-open window.
"Hiss—it's so cold!" Xu Xin sat up from the bed.
Coco beside him didn't feel anything. He turned over, whimpered, and continued to sleep with his big tail in his arms.
He looked at the time. It was almost seven in the morning, but it was still dark outside.
"What's going on?" Xu Xin rubbed his cold arm and frowned.
He used saltpeter (blue) to cool down the bedroom last night, and the basin of ice on the ground hasn't melted yet. Why did it suddenly become so cold today
He had a bad feeling.
The regional channel is very lively at this time.
"Why is it suddenly cold today?"
"Besides, it's already seven o'clock and it's still dark. Could it be winter all of a sudden?"
"It's possible. Oh my god, I don't have any thick clothes. What should I do?"
"It's not a big problem. Just make a fireplace. It's just a pile of stones. No one should be short of green-level stones now."
"A furnace requires 100 pieces of green-level stone... I can't make it now anyway."
"Hey, you can always find some if you go out and pick them up. Aren't there green-level stones all over the stream? Don't panic, it's not a big problem. What I want to know now is, do you want to join the elders of the Explorers?"
"Yes, of course I will go! If I go, I can get the protection of the elders, help them with things, and have more advanced resources. Why not go? I am waiting for the elders to come and take me away!"
"That's right. If it wasn't for Elder Ji telling me not to wander around by myself yesterday, I would have wanted to go find them by myself now!"
"But, isn't it said that there will be restrictions..."
"What good is it for the elder to restrict us? Anyway, I will definitely go. If it weren't for the explorer's strategy and help, I don't know how many times I would have died."
"Forget it. I still want to control my own destiny. I don't want to live under someone else's roof anymore."
"This brother has a story."
It seems that most people are supportive of their actions and are willing to follow them directly.
good.
But why is it so cold today
Xu Xin clicked on Lou Feier's watch and saw that people in the 187th District Channel were also discussing the sudden cold weather. At least it was the same in the surrounding areas.
He walked to the window and opened it half-closed. A gust of cold wind blew in his face, lowering the temperature in the room even more.
"Hmm!" Coco was startled by the sudden cold wind. She jumped up from the bed, looked at Xu Xin, and tilted her head. "Hmm?"
The temperature has really dropped.
The temperature outside is probably only around 10 degrees. Although it's not too low, it was close to 30 degrees yesterday!
The mysterious voice didn't even give any hint about the temperature drop this time.
Before, whether it was the rainy season or the dungeon, there would be at least one hint of the activity name. How come it is gone now
Could it be that, in the second phase, there are no clear activities anymore
Maybe it is true. Maybe disasters and beast tides will still happen, but there are no clear activities. I am afraid that this is just the first stage mode, and it is also a benefit for novices. After all, they can prepare in advance and get some benefits from the activities.
However, it would be better if this is true, at least there won’t be dead people in every event.
If 50 people have to die in every activity in the future, with the current number of survivors, they simply cannot afford it. Moreover, it will also make it impossible to build a team and it will fall apart.
After all, it is much easier to push others into trouble than to work hard yourself.
Looking at his watch, he found that Li Wenxi had sent him a private message at around six o'clock.
"Xu Xin, what time are you coming today? Be careful, maybe our protected areas are not connected. By the way, it's so cold today!"
Xu Xin had already set permissions for everyone in the explorers, so that they could initiate voice and video calls with him, and private messages would also vibrate, but probably because of his artistic creation last night, Li Wenxi's private message did not wake him up.
He replied, "Let's wait until after nine o'clock and see what the situation is. The temperature drop today is unusual, so there may be new activities."
He rose, washed, and put on his scale armor.
Don’t mention it, a purple-level suit is a purple-level suit. This scale armor suit looks very cold, but it is actually quite comfortable to wear on the body and can actually keep you warm.
Li Wenxi also responded at this time: "Okay, I also think we should wait. If there is an event, there should be a notification at nine o'clock."
Xu Xin: "Well, if there is no activity, I will come to you after nine o'clock."
Because it was still very hot yesterday, the windows on the upper and lower floors of his living room were all open. Although there was a tree canopy outside to block out the cold wind, it still penetrated everywhere, making the temperature in the whole house much lower.
He threw a few pieces of coal into the fireplace, and it immediately burst into flames. Then he closed all the windows, and the temperature in the tree house immediately returned to normal.
He had made this fireplace when he first built the tree house, and today it finally came in handy. Before, its only use was to absorb the smoke from barbecue.
Silver King and Mimi both have relatively thick fur, but they don't care about the temperature change and still lie lazily on the ground.
These two guys seem to be like this for some time.
Could it be that because the radioactive stones were shattered and there was no radiation around that could enhance their strength, that's why they were so listless
It seems that I have to plant the red mist flower seeds in my hand as soon as possible to build a sauna for these guys. There were too many things to do before, and I always forgot about it.
By the way, that red mist should also be useful to Lou Feier, since she is also a mutant now.
After throwing a few pieces of meat to Mimi and Yin Wang and stuffing an apple into Coco's mouth, Xu Xin came to the window and shouted to Ah Fu who was hanging under Parasitic Tree House 01: "Ah Fu, come back for dinner!"
His beloved concubine doesn't need him to worry about them. Although there are no wild beasts at the moment, there are still insects and ants everywhere, so his beloved concubine has no worries about food and drink.
However, since it last ate so many mutant giant ants, it seemed that it had not foraged for food for a long time. Perhaps it had eaten its fill at once and is now evolving
Ah Fu immediately flapped his wings and flew over.
Then he saw Lou Feier sticking her head out of the window and shouting at him: "What about me! I want to eat too! You treat me differently! Say no to discrimination!"
Isn't she a cook who adds decoration to the kitchen
Oh, by the way, Lou Feier’s weakness period will not end until tonight. She feels so weak all over now that she probably can’t cook.
"I'll bring it to you after I finish eating!" Xu Xin shouted and retracted his head.
Xu Xin contacted the explorer while eating.
Everyone has started discussing today's temperature.
Ji Chaoyang: "Everyone, the temperature is abnormal today. Don't go out before nine o'clock. If there are any activities today, we will probably be notified at nine o'clock. If there is no information at nine o'clock, it will not be too late to go out according to yesterday's plan."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "It's really cold... I was woken up by the cold this morning. My window faces my bed, and I feel like I have a cold... Ah... Ah... A-choo!!"
Qi Xuefei: "Do you need medicine? Or the same kind as before. One pill will work, but there will be a two-hour weakness period."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Forget it. The two-hour weakness period is too life-threatening. If you really want to eat, you have to eat at night."
Qin Yunlong: "Go out and have a look, the leaves of the poplar trees outside are starting to turn yellow!"
Li Wenxi: "Oh my god, it's true! Leaves are already falling over here!"
Xu Xin immediately ran to the window and looked out. The originally green leaves of the poplar trees had actually turned yellow, just like a dying tree house.
When he just got up, he also looked outside the tree house, and there were no such big changes at that time!
Fortunately, the tree canopy of the tree house is still lush and green and has not been affected at all.
Of course, a gust of cold wind blew by, and in Xu Xin's sight, the leaves turned yellower and yellower at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless leaves that had already turned yellow began to fall off with the wind.
…What’s up with these poplar trees!
How come these poplar trees that grow rapidly during the rainy season wither so quickly!
No, not withered.
It seems like it's just normal leaf fall in autumn, but the leaves are turning yellow and falling too fast.
Before long, a thick layer of yellow leaves appeared on the ground, and the entire jungle had turned from green to yellow and became much sparser due to fallen leaves. I'm afraid it won't be long before these trees become bare.
Even the shrubs and birch trees he planted outside gradually became bald. Only the pine trees were still green, but the color had turned from the previous emerald green to the dark green for the winter.
"… The leaves are falling too fast. Is winter coming soon?" Xu Xin said to himself.
Speaking of the cold winter, he thought of the cotton he had collected before. Unfortunately, he couldn't plant it on a large scale at the time, but now he can plant it on a large scale under the tree house, but the temperature has dropped again.
Go down and take a look.
Xu Xin was about to come down from the tree house when Keke climbed onto his shoulders in two moves.
"Okay, I'll take you down with me."
"Bing!"
When we arrived under the tree house, the red berry bushes at the entrance of Aifei's cave had turned yellow.
Xu Xin looked at the cave entrance and saw Ai Fei sleeping with the two little ones inside the cave, seemingly unaffected by the temperature. It made sense, of the three, Ai Fei was a nearly intermediate-level mutant beast, and the two little ones had the blood of giant beasts, so they were not afraid of the cold at all.
Of course, Xu Xin was not cold either, as the scale armor set had a pretty good warmth-retaining effect.
Looking around, everything around him became a little strange. Xu Xin, who was used to seeing green, was a little uncomfortable seeing the golden jungle and fallen leaves all over the ground.
etc.
He looked up at the tree house. The tree house had not changed at all, it was still lush and green, and the leaves swayed slightly in the cold wind.
Xu Xin immediately asked in the regional channel: "Has the color of the leaves of your tree house changed?"
Everyone was also discussing the temperature and falling leaves. When Xu Xin spoke, a bunch of people immediately rushed to answer.
"No!"
"Nothing has changed, Big Boss!"
“Still so green!”
A thoughtful expression gradually appeared on Xu Xin's face.
The jungle turns yellow or even bald, only the tree houses and pine trees are still green. Only survivors can plant pine trees. Doesn't that mean that the lush green tree houses of other survivors can be seen from a long distance away
This world seems to be helping the survivors meet each other.
But it’s good, as it saves them the trouble of looking for it.
"Master, I'm hungry! I want to eat!" Lou Feier, who was in the tree house over there, saw Xu Xin coming down from the tree house and thought he was bringing her food. But he didn't come for a long time, so she couldn't help shouting.
"Here it comes." Xu Xin came to the parasitic tree house and manipulated the roots to pull it up.
Although Lou Feier is the owner of the tree house, he can still control the tree house. The owner of the main tree house is equivalent to having the keys to all parasitic tree houses.
Well, it’s better not to tell other people in the regional channel about this, otherwise, a group of people might be discouraged.
"You're finally here, woo woo, I'm cold and hungry, if you treat me like this again, I'll report you for abusing prisoners and make your organization unable to continue!" Lou Feier said with resentment and dissatisfaction, then she saw the little guy on Xu Xin's shoulder, and immediately put on a smile and greeted him, "Hello, little cutie!"
"Hmm!" Coco also waved her little paws.
She is now connected to District 188, and Ji Chaoyang has told everyone in the regional channel about this matter, so she naturally knows about it.
After learning about the explorers' deeds from other people, she finally understood why so many people survived in Area 188. In comparison, Area 187 was simply a waste area! It was completely incomparable to Area 188!
Being caught and brought to Area 188 is actually a good thing
Moreover, her master is the boss of District 188, or even the boss of all districts...
No no no! Am I crazy!
While Lou Feier was still struggling in her mind, Xu Xin put some fruits and a piece of barbecue on the table for her.
"… Barbecue?!" Lou Feier stared at the barbecue in a daze, "Can you still eat barbecue now?"
"Eat quickly, and then I'll take you to the main tree house." Xu Xin sat on a chair, waiting for her while thinking about what to do today.
Lou Feier's eyes lit up, "Can I live in the main tree house?"
"Of course not. It's just that I may have to go out today, and if you, who is so weak as to not even have a finger, stay here, I'm afraid you'll be dead by the time I come back." Xu Xin warned, "And don't even think about running around in the main tree house. I'll let Mimi watch you."
Today we are going out, and we need to travel a long distance through several tree houses. I am afraid that Mimi can't stand it, so I won't take it with me. I will just take Silver King and Coco. It's just right for Mimi to stay at home and watch over this woman.
"Well... okay." Lou Fei'er sat on the chair bored and started to enjoy breakfast.
"Your barbecue skills are really bad! Such good meat is wasted. Hmm, delicious. This meat is really delicious. Is this mutant meat? It's just that the cooking time is too bad. Wait, then isn't it the equivalent of eating my own kind?"
Xu Xin: “…”
The meat is grilled automatically on a blue-level grill. It stops automatically when it's cooked. So what's the problem with the degree of heat
"Forget it, it's the same as long as it tastes good. Do you have a lot of meat? Let me roast it next time. Your skills are not good enough." Although she said that, she still ate with relish. After all, she hadn't eaten anything since last night.
"Eat yours quickly!" Xu Xin almost wanted to give her a slap on the head.
"I'm serious! I'm a good cook!"
Xu Xin ignored her and looked out the window.
As he expected, the jungle was basically leafless at this time, and the trees were bare, with only a few yellow leaves remaining on the bare branches, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of golden fallen leaves.
In just one night, the world changed from midsummer to late autumn.
