In fact, there is one more point that Xu Xin did not mention, that is, there is a real protection zone with a radius of six kilometers for the tree house that Li Wenxi has not transplanted. This protection zone is divided according to the spreading range of the roots of the tree house.
In the future, as the tree house continues to grow and upgrade, the scope of the real protected area will certainly continue to expand.
However, there is no protection zone for the parasitic tree house. Although there will be a protection zone at the site of the original tree house, it is only a deterrent protection zone. It can still be of some use in the current relatively safe situation, but once a real crisis comes, this protection zone may be just a decoration.
Most importantly, this deterrent protected area will no longer expand.
He also hoped that the tree house protection zone of the people around them would continue to expand in the future, completely covering and connecting this area, forming a real, fully connected safe area belonging to them.
Therefore, from the perspective of team interests, he could not let Li Wenxi transplant the tree house to his place.
"Okay, then I'll try my best. However, you have to quickly build the coordinates and then come to help me!" Li Wenxi gave up her previous idea, but she still didn't have the confidence to manage other survivors.
"Okay, I'll help you keep an eye on those parasitic producers. Don't worry, once the coordinates are built, not just me, everyone can help each other."
"Then I feel relieved. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you upstairs to have a look. I'm very confident about the interior design of the tree house!" Li Wenxi stopped thinking about this and pulled Xu Xin upstairs.
"Dangdang, the second floor is where I usually sleep and live. How is it? My design is okay!" Li Wenxi made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile.
"We video chat every day. I'm already familiar with it." Xu Xin saw the sofa that he was very familiar with at a glance. Li Wenxi basically video chatted with him on the sofa every time, either sitting or lying down.
Her design for the house was more refined than Xu Xin's. It had one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and a small study. It was like a small apartment that could be lived in comfortably by one person.
"No, you can only see the sofa every time!" Li Wenxi pointed at the small sofa in the middle of the living room, "That's right there. I haven't shown you other places. Even if I did, they are all different now."
"嘤!" When Coco saw a sofa that was similar to the one in her own tree house, she immediately jumped off Xu Xin's shoulders, dived into the sofa, and started rolling on it.
"Haha, Coco likes the sofa too!" Li Wenxi immediately pounced on the sofa and rubbed Coco's little belly.
"Hmm~" Coco cried out in comfort again.
Xu Xin looked at the interior decoration of the tree house.
The living room was filled with decorations purchased from the points mall, but the two small statues he gave to Li Wenxi were nowhere to be seen. They must have been placed in other rooms.
Xu Xin planned to take the time to carve more statues for Li Wenxi. Anyway, his carving speed was fast now, so he could help her increase the power of the smelting room. This way, her chance of obtaining purple-level resources would be higher.
Once Li Wenxi is able to obtain purple-level resources stably, he will no longer need to use the tree house core to upgrade the resources that can be smelted by these furnaces. Instead, he will focus on upgrading basic resources that cannot be smelted, such as wood, stone, and medicinal materials, to make better use of the core.
"Where is your Aniu?" Xu Xin asked because he didn't see Li Wenxi's mutant cow.
He was very interested in the cow. It was the first mutant creature that was mutated with a mutation potion and then signed a mutant beast contract.
Xu Xin's several contracted beasts, except for the Silver King, were originally mutant creatures. Although the Silver King was mutated by a mutation potion, the contract he signed was a mount contract.
Xu Xin plans to use the mutation potion - the Mutant Beast Contract to mass-produce contracted mutant beasts in the future, so he wants to see how the cow is doing now.
"Aniu is on the third floor. Do you want to go up and take a look?" Li Wenxi pointed upwards.
"You put it on the third floor, won't it affect the things below?"
"Of course not. The tree house floor has great sound insulation, and Aniu won't walk around on it. Come on, I'll take you upstairs to have a look." Li Wenxi got up from the sofa, pulled Xu Xin and walked towards the third floor, and Yin Wang followed.
Most of the third floor was a cold storage, which contained the mutant meat looted last time. In addition, there were a few flower pots planted with some blue-level fruits.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the brown-yellow blood-marked cow lying on the ground in the corner. The ground is covered with a layer of grass and leaves, which serves as the cow's nest.
This blood-marked bull looks to weigh over a thousand kilograms, much larger than the Silver King. However, the blood patterns on its body are much darker and sparser than those of the Silver King. One can tell at first glance that it is a low-level mutant creature.
It is normal for them to be larger in size, after all, they are herbivores.
After seeing the Silver King, the Blood-Marked Bull stood up unconsciously, took a step back, and made a "moo" sound, as if it was alert and afraid.
Although it is larger in size, the Silver King is only a mid-level mutant beast after all, and it still has a natural deterrent effect on low-level mutant beasts.
"Aniu, don't be afraid, they are all our own!" Li Wenxi walked up to Aniu, touched Aniu's back, then turned around and boasted to Xu Xin, "How is it, Aniu is very big, it can carry very heavy things. Before Aniu, I had a hard time. Every time I went mining, I had to carry everything back myself. Now that I have Aniu, it can carry ten times as much as I do!"
"This cow's horns are so small, it must be a cow. I remember you said at that time that you wanted to make it produce milk. Did you succeed?" Xu Xin asked curiously.
He grew up drinking milk. On Earth, even when he was in his twenties, he still drank a box of milk every day. When he thought about the possibility of milk, he suddenly felt a little greedy.
"No, a cow can only produce milk after being pregnant. Ah Niu has just reached adulthood and has never been pregnant before, so how can she produce milk?" Li Wenxi touched the small horns on Ah Niu's head. "There are not even a rabbit nearby now, let alone a cow. There is no way to find a bull for Ah Niu."
“… That’s true.”
"Besides, Ah Niu is a mutant bull, much bigger than an ordinary bull. An ordinary bull may not be able to do it. Why don't you raise a mutant bull and let it be with Ah Niu... Then Ah Niu will have milk!"
"Ah... that's fine, but we still have to wait until the beasts come back."
Those beasts have not appeared since the end of the rainy season. Now that the weather has turned cold again, no one knows when they will appear again.
Xu Xin has been looking forward to their reappearance. He also plans to raise a group of animals under the tree house. Then he will have everything, such as milk and eggs.
Moreover, the mutation potion and mutant beast contract in his hands were waiting to be used on them.
There was also the white-headed sea urchin that he had seen before. He really wanted to contract a mutant white-headed sea urchin. Although Ah Fu could fly, it was a mammal after all and attacked with sonic waves, which was not the same as a bird of prey.
If he contracts a mutant bird and raises it to grow bigger and bigger, when it grows to a certain size, it might be able to grab him and take off. By then, wouldn't it be equivalent to him having a flying tool
It is impossible for Ah Fu to achieve this, and he can only watch the white-haired sea wither.
At this time, the Silver King seemed to have established a good relationship with Aniu. The two mutant beasts were howling to each other, as if they were communicating something.
Coco, who was rolling on the sofa, also ran up and joined the conversation with a "嘤嘤嘤".
"Hey? Are they chatting?" It was the first time that Li Wenxi saw animals talking to each other, and he stared at them with wide eyes.
"They can indeed communicate with each other." Xu Xin spread his hands. "They can understand me, but I can't understand them. Sometimes I even wonder if their IQ is higher than mine."
"They are actually chatting!" Li Wenxi was also shocked. "Are all the animals in this world so smart? Don't animals have a language system?"
"Who knows?" Xu Xin also found this very strange. The animals in this world seemed to be very smart. Not to mention Coco Silver King Mimi and the others, even the fish that were stranded after the rainy season could understand what he said.
I really don’t know why these animals are so smart. Perhaps it is a special mutation brought about by the disaster fifty years ago.
"Hmm?" Xu Xin suddenly realized something was wrong.
That's not right. Aren't most mutated beasts that use the mutated beast potion going to lose their will and become tool beasts that only obey orders? Why is this cow chatting with Mimi and Silver King
It is not like the Silver King, the largest individual in the population, so how could it have any consciousness left
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that Ah Fu seemed to have suddenly gained his own consciousness at a certain stage.
"Is your Aniu usually so smart?" Xu Xin asked Li Wenxi.
"No," Li Wenxi said with a puzzled expression, "Usually it does whatever I tell it to do, and won't do anything unless I tell it to. Maybe it saw some other mutant creatures today? It's talking so much."
Xu Xin touched his chin.
Is it because of the Silver King
I can't figure it out. It seems that I can only wait and do more experiments in the future. A mutant beast with self-awareness is indeed much better than a tool beast that only listens to orders and needs the owner's voice control throughout the process.
Stopping looking at Aniu, Xu Xin walked to the window and looked towards the south.
Sure enough, in the south direction, he saw a very obvious green area.
He went to the east window and looked east. There was indeed some green there, but it was much smaller than the one on the south.
From this point of view, the tree house on the south side is indeed quite tall, and it is very likely to be a three-story tree house.
"I didn't lie to you, the tree house in the south is really likely to be a three-story tree house." Li Wenxi followed behind Xu Xin and said to Xu Xin while looking at the green in the south.
"Yeah. It's time to go. Ji Chaoyang must have dealt with the east side, and we haven't even left the tree house yet."
Xu Xin thought of Ji Chaoyang helping to clean up the tree houses in other areas, and he and Li Wenxi chatting here for a long time, and suddenly he felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, this is indeed a bit bad, let's go out. Is there anything else you need to bring?"
"… There's nothing to bring. Let's go take a look first. If it's an ordinary tree house, just buy it directly. If it's a three-story tree house…" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, "If it's a three-story tree house, then maybe we have to think about it more carefully."
