Xu Xin opened the Explorer Channel and told them the information.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Ah? Let me go down and take a look! I just planted a lot of trees below, and they haven't grown yet!"
Wang Lei: "This... This means we can only grow crops in the tree house? An epic upgrade to the planting house?"
Li Wenxi: "It doesn't seem like it's a big loss to me..."
Ji Chaoyang: "No, it's not that exaggerated. Xu Xin, you are not close to the tree house now, right? Go plant something next to the tree house and try it."
Near the tree house
Xu Xin immediately came to the main tree house and casually scattered a poplar seed on a piece of green-grade soil.
The seedlings grew out, and this time, they did not wilt.
Poplar seedling: It only takes ten days to grow into a poplar tree. Sheltered by the tree house, the current remaining growth time: 10 days
Poplar trees planted near the tree house can grow!
Xu Xin immediately said in the Explorer: "It can grow near the tree house, no problem!"
Ji Chaoyang: "Well, my tree house is an initial purple-level tall tree house. Through my attempts, I found that the range of protection provided by the tall tree house is about fifty meters in radius."
Fifty meters in radius
He had just planted it in the depressed jungle outside the reserve, certainly not within fifty meters.
Xu Xin confirmed that all the plants within 50 meters had stopped growing.
The protection range of his plant heart is one hundred meters in radius, covering the entire range.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "I am a blue-level tree house, and I can only plant within a radius of 30 meters!"
What about the green-level treehouse
Xu Xin thought of the parasitic tree house. He immediately went to the parasitic tree house and tried to plant some plants.
He discovered that although the parasitic tree house no longer had a protected area, it still had a sheltered area. Within a radius of ten meters, crops could still be planted normally as before.
"It seems that the problem is not too big, and this range is enough." Xu Xin thought, touching his chin.
Suddenly, that familiar mysterious voice came to my ears.
Congratulations to all the survivors out there, you have witnessed the change of seasons and Phase 2 is officially on track!
There are no fixed activities in this stage, and no survivors will be eliminated.
But remember, no activity does not mean no danger. You are the warriors who have passed the first stage and you are responsible for your life.
Finally, remember, never abandon your tree house, it is your only support! Without a tree house, you cannot survive in this world.
Now, enjoy the arrival of Phase 2! In this free second phase, release your inner desires!
Xu Xin raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was exactly nine o'clock.
This sound is really on time.
However, the information it provided was similar to what Xu Xin had guessed before.
In the second stage, there is no activity. But no activity does not mean no danger.
Just like the sudden arrival of autumn today, and a series of impacts after autumn, such as cooler weather and the inability to plant crops away from the tree house, can catch some people off guard.
For example, one day, the beast tide may reappear and mutant creatures may run rampant. This time, without a day's warning, the danger will be even more unexpected.
Fortunately, in the second stage, the survivors can meet each other and cooperate in a real sense.
Of course, they will also kill each other.
It is detected that the decoration degree of the tree house is greater than 100, and today's random increase is obtained: strength enhancement, the effect lasts for one day.
It's his random increase!
His random enhancement finally arrived, and it was a strength enhancement!
In an instant, a warm current spread throughout his body, and an incomparable sense of power flowed through his body.
Good increase! Today's increase is good!
Xu Xin couldn't wait to try out his current strength. He looked at the bare poplar trees on the side and suddenly had the urge to uproot the weeping willows.
He hugged the poplar tree and pulled it hard.
"Squeak-click." The sound of roots breaking was heard, and the whole tree was pulled up several centimeters by him.
He kicked hard again, and the whole poplar tree was uprooted and fell to the ground with a loud bang, with its bare branches shattered all over the ground.
"Great!" Xu Xin couldn't help but exclaim, this is really great!
He knocked down a tree with a diameter of several dozen centimeters with his bare hands!
It would be terrible if he was holding a halberd!
Good, today’s expedition is stable.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang sent a voice message.
"Xu Xin, let's go find Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei. We are the closest to each other, so let's meet up first."
"Okay, then why not, just go to that three-story tree house by the creek."
"Are you sure the owner of that tree house won't attack us? With a three-story tree house, he must be a strong person from Area 187."
"Oh, that tree house is mine now."
"… Hmm? You didn't transplant the tree house, nor did you kill the owner of the tree house. You captured him? How did you do that? Do you have a slave contract?"
This guy is really smart. He just said that the tree house is his, and Ji Chaoyang has guessed it almost exactly.
"That's about right. I'll explain it to you in detail when we meet."
"Okay, let's go now."
After hanging up the voice, Xu Xin returned to the tree house. This time he only planned to bring Silver King with him.
When Mimi knew that he was not going to take her with him, she lay on the ground in a depressed mood and turned her head to the side.
"Okay, we have to run a lot this time, and you won't be able to bear it. You help me look after this woman at home. Next time, I'll take you to a farther place." Xu Xin said, touching Mimi's head.
"嘤." Coco also touched Mimi's paw.
"Meow..." Mimi made a sound, stood up and walked to the sofa where Lou Feier was sitting, and lay down again.
Lou Feier has been sitting on the sofa since Xu Xin left the tree house, because Yin Wang and Mimi have been staring at her.
The two big guys were quite friendly and would interact with her. Silver King even lay beside her and she could even touch him. But once she tried to get up from the sofa, Silver King would bare his fangs and Mimi would slowly get up, scaring her so much that she dared not move.
"Wait, what should I do if you leave? Do you want me to sit here all day? It won't even let me go to the toilet!" Lou Feier pointed at Mimi who was lying beside her.
"That's not necessary... Mimi, she is only allowed in the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. She is not allowed to enter other rooms, and she is not allowed to go up and down the stairs."
Mimi lay on the ground and nodded to show that she understood.
Xu Xin threw her tree house table to her again. "Today, contact the others in your area. Don't reveal anything. Try to get information from District 187 and see if you can figure out the top ten positions in your area. Don't think about asking for help from others. I'll check the records when I come back."
Lou Feier took the watch and showed excitement on her face, but Xu Xin's words made her feel uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly, and her expression fell: "You! Checking a girl's communication records, shameless!"
"Then why not let you wear the bracelet? The bracelet is safer."
"Make sure to complete the mission!"
Looking out from the window of the tree house, in the midst of a bleak scene, dots of green dotted the horizon. To the east, not too far away from him, there was a patch of green, which should be the location of Li Wenxi's tree house.
Bringing Yin Wang and Coco to the tree house, Xu Xin climbed onto the wolf, pointed in the direction of the stream and said, "Yin Wang, let's go over there first, to the tree house we were in before." He wanted to meet Ji Chaoyang first.
"Awooo—" The Silver King let out a long roar and began to run along the stream.
Coco leaned in Xu Xin's arms, looking curiously at the hugely changing jungle around her.
All the trees in the jungle turned into bare branches. Without the dense green canopy blocking his view, Xu Xin felt for the first time that his vision was so open, as if this was no longer a jungle, but an open Gobi Desert.
From a distance, he saw a vast expanse of green ahead.
It was still ten kilometers away, but Xu Xin could see the green tree house in the distance at a glance.
Although Lou Feier’s three-story tree house is much taller than ordinary tree houses, it is probably just as obvious as ordinary tree houses. After all, these bare branches cannot cover the green of the tree house’s canopy.
As Silver King ran, he got closer and closer to Lou Feier's tree house. From a distance, he saw a man under the tree house, looking at the tree house, holding... a horse
It's Ji Chaoyang! He's already here!
By the way, he actually has a horse over there, he’s really lucky.
Horses are simply the most suitable animals to be used as mounts. They are tall, have great endurance, and do not eat meat. Even the hay that is now all over the ground can still satisfy their hunger.
However, horses are generally very heavy. Even if he, like himself, has obtained an intermediate mount contract that allows him to contract a 300-kilogram beast, a 300-kilogram horse is too small.
Even from such a distance, Xu Xin could feel that this horse must weigh at least 700 or 800 kilograms.
Ji Chaoyang also heard the voice, looked towards Xu Xin, and waved at him: "This way."
"You came so quickly." Xu Xin stopped in front of Ji Chaoyang riding the Silver King and turned over to get off the wolf.
They had seen it over video before, and Xu Xin thought at that time that this person looked very gentle and meticulous, and there was not even a wrinkle on his clothes.
In fact, Ji Chaoyang's behavior makes it easy for others to think that he is a strong big brother who can give people a sense of security, but when they really meet him at this time, his first impression is that he is a gentle and clean big boy, and it should be very comfortable to get along with him.
"You're slow. I left right after I contacted you." Ji Chaoyang smiled and extended his hand to him. "You're even more handsome than in the video."
"What's so handsome about you? You haven't taken care of yourself for more than ten days. But you really pay attention to your image." Xu Xin also smiled and shook hands with him.
This guy is not only gentle, he even has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He did not have the purple-level scale armor like Xu Xin, but was wearing a light blue-level leather armor. His face was shaved clean and his hair was neatly combed. It was impossible to tell that he had come all the way here on horseback.
Even his horse's hair was combed very smoothly, and there was not a single tangle on its tail.
