Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 230: The four people finally met

Views:

The Silver King took off and began to move through the jungle at an extremely fast speed.

"Ah!" Qi Xuefei hugged Li Wenxi's waist tightly, feeling a speed she had never felt since she came to this world, and exclaimed, "This is too fast!"

Even with three people on his back, Silver King could still reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. This was not 80 kilometers per hour on an open and flat highway, but 80 kilometers per hour in a jungle full of trees!

Shuttled back and forth at high speed among countless trees, the feeling was even more thrilling than riding a roller coaster.

Every time it felt that the Silver King was about to hit the tree trunk in front, it would gently turn sideways, perfectly avoiding the tree trunk, and would not let Xu Xin and others sitting on the wolf's back get injured by rubbing against the tree trunk.

"Haha, how about it, Sister Xuefei? Isn't it exciting to ride the Silver King?"

Although Li Wenxi had experienced it many times and had even experienced the more exciting shuttle feeling while sitting in the front, she was still very excited at this moment.

But she still listened to Xu Xin, hugged Xu Xin's waist tightly without letting go, and did not look up, but just shouted to Qi Xuefei behind her.

"This... isn't this a bit too exciting?"

Qi Xuefei looked at the rapidly receding scene around her with some horror.

She doesn't really like this kind of exciting feeling.

She was the type who never rode a roller coaster at an amusement park. She wanted to ask Xu Xin to slow down, but she couldn't say it, so she could only close her eyes tightly.

Soon, in just over ten minutes, they arrived at Qi Xuefei's tree house.

At this time, Ji Chaoyang was leaning against the trunk of the tree house, checking the screen projected by his watch. Beside him was his handsome white horse, nibbling on the hay on the ground.

There was a thin-looking woman sitting next to the tree house. She must be the survivor of Area 187 in the tree house on the east side.

"You guys came so quickly," Ji Chaoyang stood up and looked at Xu Xin who had rolled down from the wolf's back, and said in surprise, "Didn't you... just take out the core of the tree house more than ten minutes ago? How come you came here without digging out the seeds?"

From this side, he could clearly see the green of the tree house to the west. The green had just disappeared more than ten minutes ago, so he inferred that Xu Xin and the others had to continue digging seeds for the tree house, which would take at least half an hour.

So when he saw them coming so quickly, Ji Chaoyang was still a little surprised.

"I dug it out and gave it to Qi Xuefei." Xu Xin walked to Ji Chaoyang's side, "There are new tools."

The woman sitting on the ground also looked up at him, then lowered her head and stopped talking.

"嘤?" Coco ran to the woman and looked at her with her little head tilted.

Behind him, Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei also rolled off the Silver King's back.

"Ugh..." Qi Xuefei, who had no feeling towards human corpses, covered her mouth, feeling dizzy and wanting to vomit.

"Ah! Sister Xuefei, are you okay?" Li Wenxi supported Qi Xuefei and asked worriedly.

She didn't expect Qi Xuefei to faint.

“… I… I will never ride on your wolf again… Ugh…” Qi Xuefei retched again, her eyes moistened.

Sitting on the Silver King's back, bouncing along at such a high speed, she experienced the feeling of motion sickness again after a long time.

"This..." Xu Xin also looked back, and seeing Qi Xuefei's appearance, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Why don't you let me slow down."

Because Li Wenxi had a strong adaptability to the Silver King and found it extremely stimulating, he thought Qi Xuefei was about the same, so he did not slow down and let the Silver King rush over at the fastest speed.

"I..." Qi Xuefei was speechless. She didn't know she would feel so dizzy. By the time she felt nauseous, she was already halfway through the run. She couldn't yell at people to stop halfway.

Ji Chaoyang walked forward, took out a square of cloth from his pocket, handed it to Qi Xuefei who was still bending over and trying to vomit, and said softly, "Are you okay?"

"... Thank you." Qi Xuefei took the cloth, wiped her mouth gently, and took a break before she stood up and gave Ji Chaoyang a somewhat forced smile: "Thank you... You are Ji Chaoyang, right?"

"Yes, it's me." Ji Chaoyang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qi Xuefei.

"You look younger than Xu Xin. The two strongest explorers among us are so much younger than me." Qi Xuefei was also deceived by Ji Chaoyang's face and sighed.

Li Wenxi and Xu Xin looked at each other and both laughed.

Ji Chaoyang also smiled awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" Qi Xuefei was a little confused about the two of them.

"Sister Xuefei, don't be fooled by his face!" Li Wenxi said with a smile, "He is 27 years old this year, one year older than you! Moreover, he has a lot of work experience and is already a member of society."

"Ah?" Qi Xuefei was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ji Chaoyang with wide eyes, her expression very surprised, "27 years old? I thought..."

She thought Ji Chaoyang was only about eighteen or nineteen years old. He looked too young.

"… Sorry." Qi Xuefei said apologetically.

"I have to explain my age every time we meet. I'm used to it." Ji Chaoyang spread his hands helplessly, and then corrected Li Wenxi's words, "I don't have much work experience."

Qi Xuefei looked at Ji Chaoyang's face twice more.

Is this the legendary baby face that doesn’t show your age

A bit envious...

"It seems that you are giving the people over there to..." Ji Chaoyang wiped his neck and asked Xu Xin.

"Well, that person is not good. His behavior is too disgusting. We explorers don't want just anyone." Xu Xin nodded.

"That's right! He is just an ordinary survivor who relies on other people's abilities. He even wants to do that kind of thing to Sister Xuefei. We can't let that kind of person form a group with us!" Li Wenxi also agreed with Xu Xin's statement.

"This matter involves another person. Let's talk about it later." Xu Xin stopped, after all, there was another person next to him.

He pointed at the silent woman on the ground and said, "This is..."

The woman sitting against the roots of the tree looked up at them.

She was wearing a green leather armor set and looked like an ordinary survivor. She didn't participate in their conversation. She just kept staring at Coco. She even wanted to reach out and touch Coco, but Coco turned away. Then she kept staring at Coco.

"The survivor in the tree house to the east is an ordinary survivor. Her tree house has no heavy crossbow and no armor. I just fired a few explosive crossbow shots and she surrendered." Ji Chaoyang glanced at the woman sitting on the ground. "I talked to her and she said she was willing to rely on Qi Xuefei."

As he spoke, he took out a tree house seed and a tree house core from his backpack and handed them to Qi Xuefei: "These are all yours, and this person is also yours."

Seeing several people starting to discuss her, the woman stood up, looked at Qi Xuefei and Li Wenxi, and finally fixed her eyes on Qi Xuefei who was holding her tree house seed and core, her expression very nervous.

"Um... I..." She rubbed the hem of her clothes gently with her hands, "Hello, I..."

Seeing the woman so reserved, Qi Xuefei walked up to her and hugged her gently: "Well, since you are here, you are my companion. I will go and plant your tree house first."

Qi Xuefei's actions made Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both frown.

Even though her tree house had been dug up and she now had to rely on others for survival, wasn't this too defenseless

What if this woman took away his seeds and core

However, Qi Xuefei's behavior made the woman's expression relax. She was no longer so nervous. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I will follow you from now on."

"Sister, what's your name?" Li Wenxi also came forward, making Xu Xin's eyelids twitch.

These two people, when they see someone of the same sex as their own age, are no longer on guard, right

After all, this woman was from District 187 before, and her life was saved by their District 187 boss Zhang Daoguang. What if something happened to her? Why did they treat her as one of their own

Xu Xin's attitude towards people from other districts has always been to force them to work and distribute materials according to their work. If they don't work, they won't have resources. At least it should be like this at the beginning. We have to observe for a while before we make a decision, right

However, seeing that the three people were talking happily, he didn't say anything.

…Forget it, let them be. As long as the tree house is planted, the lives of the people on the other side will be controlled by the owner of the main tree house, and they won’t be able to cause any trouble.

The first people to be captured were still very lucky. They could be said to be veteran prisoners. When more prisoners were captured in the future, they naturally would not receive such good treatment.

"Then I'll go plant these two tree house seeds first. Do you want to go up first?" Qi Xuefei turned and said to Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang.

"No need. The parasitic tree house grows very fast. You guys go quickly. We'll wait here."

"Okay then." Qi Xuefei took the woman away.

"Then I'll go too!" Li Wenxi hurriedly followed.

The two men took the woman to plant the tree house.

Xu Xin also heard Qi Xuefei asking the woman for her opinion and asking her where she wanted to plant it.

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other and both shook their heads helplessly.

"Is it dangerous?" Xu Xin asked. He was really worried that there was something wrong with that woman.

"No, all her weapons and tools are here with me," Ji Chaoyang pointed to his backpack, "Besides, I also went into her tree house and checked her. She is indeed an ordinary survivor. Even if there is a problem, the two of them can solve it themselves. There is no need to worry."

Xu Xin looked at where the three women were walking away. They were pointing at a piece of land and discussing something.

"Do they have to be planted so close?" Xu Xin said to himself.

"It would be better if the parasitic tree house was located closer to the main tree house so that it would be easier to manage." Ji Chaoyang also looked over there.

The parasitic tree house can actually be far away from the main tree house, as long as it is within the protected area.

Just like Xu Xin’s current protected area is nine kilometers in radius, then all parasitic tree houses planted within a nine-kilometer radius will parasitize on his main tree house.

but…

"Protected areas can overlap. What do you think would happen if we planted parasitic tree houses in locations where protected areas overlap?" Xu Xin suddenly thought of this.

The overlapping location of the protected areas can be understood as the location where the roots of the two tree houses are entangled, so it is hard to say which tree house the parasitic tree house will parasitize on.

"This..." Ji Chaoyang frowned and thought for a while, "It's really hard to explain. I've thought about this before. Maybe the one whose tree house is stronger will be parasitic on that one? However, generally speaking, no one would plant a parasitic tree house so far away, right?"

The overlapping locations of the protected areas are basically five or six kilometers away from the main tree house. For the current survivors, five or six kilometers is still a bit far.

As for the further expansion of the protected area in the future, that is a matter for the future.

Xu Xin shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being.

While they were still together, he told Ji Chaoyang what had happened to him and Li Wenxi.

When talking about Ma Hongyu, he first frowned slightly, and then gradually showed a look of surprise.

Speaking of Ma Hongwei, his eyes seemed to burst into a brilliant light, and he grabbed Xu Xin's arm and said, "Are you saying that Ma Hongwei has the ability to control all the external weapons of the tree house?"
