Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 277: A new crisis for the surrendered Ma Hongwei? (4500 words!)

"Is this Ma Hongwei's tree house?" Lou Feier stood up from the ground.

She didn't dare mention her previous plan to live in the tree house.

Living in a tree house is better than living in a bracelet!

"That's right."

While Ma Hongwei was still asleep, Xu Xin came to the first floor of the tree house.

He wants to develop the charging slot of this tree house.

He took out an axe and chopped open a layer of ground in the center, and a groove appeared. This groove was much larger than the grooves of the two tree houses. After all, it was for placing the core of the blue-level tree house.

Xu Xin took out the core that could not be fully grasped with one hand, and tried to put it into the groove.

Remaining charging time: 27 seconds

27 seconds? Isn't this core full of energy

By the way, he had used this core for heating. It seemed that heating would consume the energy in the core.

Xu Xin opened his watch and checked the core charging item. The energy of this core was indeed 99.95%, which was not full.

After a few seconds, the core's energy reached 100%.

After charging is completed, please take it out in time.

A prompt sound came from the charging core.

Xu Xin took the core out of the charging slot and immediately put it into his backpack.

It seems that as long as the surrounding temperature is lower or higher than a certain limit, the core's energy will be automatically consumed to adjust the surrounding temperature.

In this tree house, because there is no fireplace, the temperature is around five or six degrees, which is very cold.

Xu Xin went up to the second floor again. The fireplace and the control panel were of the same nature, both were devices fixed to the tree house, so they would be transferred to the parasitic tree house along with the parasite.

Xu Xin threw a few pieces of wood into the fireplace, and the temperature inside the tree house slowly rose.

"Huh? I can actually control this panel!" Lou Feier's surprised voice came.

What

Xu Xin looked at Lou Feier. She was standing in front of a control panel. The panel had been lit up by her and she was operating it with her hands.

"Is this... the scene around me?" Lou Feier continued to be surprised. "It can be swiped, just like a mobile phone."

Can she really control it

Why? She is not the owner of this tree house

Moreover, Xu Xin has not yet set the owner. The current owner of this tree house should be Xu Xin himself. Why can Lou Feier control it

Xu Xin walked over and found Lou Feier swiping the screen, constantly observing the surroundings, and zooming in and out of the scene, having a lot of fun: "It's so interesting, it feels like using a satellite map on Earth! Can the surroundings be so clear?"

The operation is smooth and there is no obstacle.

Could it be because she and Xu Xin are companions

On the map, Lou Feier and Ma Hongwei both showed green spots, indicating that they were companions in the same camp.

Is it because of the contract

Or is it that because Lou Feier is the owner of another parasitic tree house with his tree house as the main tree house, he is judged to be a companion in the area, so he can use the devices on other tree houses

"Hmm..." Ma Hongwei suddenly made a very soft sound.

Lou Feier didn't notice it and was still operating the control panel and looking around, but Xu Xin, who had amplified hearing, heard it.

"Awake?" Xu Xin smiled.

This Ma Hongwei is a super talent at this stage. In terms of importance, he is no less than any other explorer.

Ma Hongwei slowly opened his eyes, his pupils were still dark red.

At the same time, the blood lines on his face gradually faded away, and his face gradually returned to normal.

However, the bulging muscles on his body did not subside, but instead he maintained his muscular image.

Ma Hongwei turned his head and looked at Xu Xin. Tong Kong shrank and wanted to roll over and stand up from the ground.

But he had already entered a period of weakness that lasted for 24 hours, especially now in the initial stage. He couldn't even stand up. When he supported himself with his arms, he fell to the ground again.

"Oh, my little brother is awake?" Seeing this, Lou Feier immediately stopped paying attention to the control panel and walked over.

"What is going on?" Ma Hongwei gave up struggling and looked up at the ceiling, his eyes a little absent-minded. "Is this your tree house?"

"This is your tree house," Xu Xin immediately made a chair, sat down and looked at him, "Your parasitic tree house."

"My parasitic tree house..." Ma Hongwei muttered to himself.

Xu Xin made two more chairs: "You two can sit down."

Lou Feier immediately sat on it without any hesitation.

Ma Hongwei, like Lou Feier at the beginning, forced himself to sit down on the seat tremblingly.

Then he reacted and looked at Xu Xin with some confusion: "What's wrong with me..."

"You explain it to him." Xu Xin leaned back in his chair and said to Lou Feier.

Lou Feier immediately explained the whole story to Ma Hongwei and told him that he didn't need to worry about Xu Xin getting rid of him.

"You should be able to feel your own condition, right?" Lou Feier asked. She was more confident than Xu Xin whether Ma Hongwei could surrender.

"… Indeed, I was wondering why my mentality changed after I woke up." Ma Hongwei suddenly realized that he had understood the whole story. "I see, I understand now."

"You just accept it like that?" Lou Feier thought he would be like her, first furious for a while, then struggling powerlessly, and finally compromising.

I didn't expect him to be so calm. Doesn't this make me seem a little stupid before

"Why can't I accept this? This is the best result I can get." Ma Hongwei shrugged. "My tree house has been transplanted here. What else can I do? Isn't it better to follow the number one person in the district than to follow Zhang Daoguang, the boss of District 187?"

"But he is not..." Lou Feier wanted to say, "Didn't Xu Xin kill your cousin?" But she secretly glanced at Xu Xin who was looking at Ma Hongwei, and did not dare to say it.

But Ma Hongwei understood: "You mean my cousin, right? If I hadn't signed this contract, I might still have some grudges, but now, it doesn't matter. I don't like that guy anyway, and he was the one who dragged me into this."

Ma Hongwei now has only one thought, that is to show his loyalty. His life belongs to someone else, what else can he do if he doesn't show his loyalty

Are you going to be so hard on your own life

Besides, following the number one in the district, the survival rate should be much better than before. Only a fool would seek death.

Of course, Xu Xin's increased affinity was also at work here, making Ma Hongwei feel from all aspects that submitting to the man in front of him didn't seem to be a bad thing.

At least he was far behind Xu Xin in terms of strategy and combat capability.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking now." Xu Xin clapped his hands, indicating that the topic could end here. He had already changed the owner of the tree house to Ma Hongwei. "Since I've already contracted you, you're my companion. Now let's see if your watch can be used."

Xu Xin pointed to the watch on his wrist. The watch was previously connected to Ma Hongwei’s main tree house, which has now been destroyed.

Ma Hongwei swiped his watch and a projection popped out. He flipped it a few times, his eyes widened, and then he said, "I am now connected to the regional channel and trading platform of District 188."

It seems that after parasitizing the other party's tree house, this watch will automatically connect to the parasitic tree house.

Xu Xi immediately opened his watch as well.

Recently, everyone in the regional channels no longer has the same sense of urgency as before. After all, there has been no crisis in the past two days.

"Ah, when will the big boss come to see me... I really want to hang out with the big bosses..."

"It's so boring staying in the tree house all day..."

"Several people have been taken back to the tree house by the elders. They even distributed blue-level equipment to them so that they can move around outside!"

"This is so cool! I want to go out too!"

"When will it be my turn? It's so uncomfortable to play alone..."

"Brothers and sisters, let's exchange fruits and vegetables. We are tired of eating the ones we grow ourselves."

"I want to eat meat so badly. Please let the beasts of the jungle return!"

Ma Hongwei was stunned by the conversation in the regional channel. He didn't expect that the situation in the neighboring District 188 would be like this.

It is much more harmonious than District 187. District 187 is now in a state of panic. The number of people has dropped rapidly in the past few days. Everyone is in danger and even suspects their own people.

If Zhang Daoguang's announcement had not shifted the conflict to the outside, the 187th District Regional Channel would probably be filled with dead and negative energy.

"Say something on the regional channel." Xu Xin said to Ma Hongwei.

"Okay." Ma Hongwei immediately said hello everyone on the regional channel.

But he was quickly brushed aside. With more than 3,000 people, no one would notice that his name was unfamiliar. After all, no one could remember everyone's name.

Xu Xin immediately locked onto him and sent him a private message: "Okay, now we can communicate through the watch. I planted your tree house 300 meters away from mine. You can contact me directly if there is any situation."

Ma Hongwei nodded, then smiled bitterly: "Although it's a bit late to say it now, but, Brother Gu, you really screwed me over badly."

Xu Xin also laughed out loud.

"This is not a pitfall. You are much better off here than you were over there." Lou Feier pointed at his watch and said, "After experiencing the strength of District 188, do you still think there is hope for District 187? Just defect with a clear conscience."

"You are right." Ma Hongwei let out a breath.

"Explain your abilities to me." Xu Xin said.

Ma Hongwei nodded and told Xu Xin about his abilities.

It was basically consistent with his previous guess. He could research new types of external weapons and use the control panel to control all external weapons outside the tree house.

But his current ability is only able to improve the wooden automatic heavy crossbows he has seen, so the ones Xu Xin saw were all in the form of crossbows, and there were no completely new weapons.

Xu Xin suddenly spoke up: "If I give you an iron automatic heavy crossbow, can you research a new type of heavy crossbow?"

"Of course." Ma Hongwei nodded immediately, "And it can be researched very quickly, because I already know a lot about heavy crossbows. In fact, I already have a general idea of which parts to use metal materials, but because the research consumables are a lot, I don't have many metal blocks, so I can't implement it."

"You can do research using green-level materials, right?"

"Yes, after researching, you can obtain blueprints, and use the blueprints to make more advanced equipment."

That's no problem. Li Wenxi has so many green-level iron blocks that they are overflowing. She has complained to herself several times about this, so this is a good time for her to use them up.

"Then can you research and manufacture heavy crossbows now?"

Although Ma Hongwei is still in a weak period, this weak period will last for 24 hours, and Xu Xin doesn't want to waste so much time.

“It’s not possible for research, but it should be no problem for production,” said Ma Hongwei.

Xu Xin nodded. Looking at his previous research room, one could tell that research was indeed much more laborious. Production only required some work on the weapons and armor workbench.

Xu Xin thought about it and decided to let him make the control panel first.

Don't make the heavy crossbow for now. Xu Xin wants to give him the metal material to study and let him make a metal heavy crossbow directly.

"I need blue-level logs," Ma Hongwei said, "I had quite a few in my previous tree house, all of which I planted myself."

Xu Xin looked at Lou Feier. All the resources in Ma Hongwei's tree house were given to her to collect.

"I have, uh, fifteen blue-grade logs. Wow, three blue-grade pine trees!"

"Because of my ability, most of my blue-level soil is used to plant pine and birch trees," Ma Hongwei explained.

There was no weapons and armor manufacturing table in the new parasitic tree house, so Xu Xin went back to the main tree house and got some materials to make it for him.

"Do three first."

Ma Hongwei nodded, immediately made three and handed them to Xu Xin.

Tree House External Weapon Control Panel (Blue): It can connect the control panels of all tree house external weapons, so that all external weapons can be controlled on the panel.

A Control Panel, which requires nine Green Wood and one Blue Wood to craft.

It seems that we need to increase our efforts to plant blue-grade round timber.

"Then you should have a good rest. If anything happens, contact your watch." Xu Xin stood up and raised his left hand.

This action scared Lou Feier, who stood up with him, because he not only had a watch on his left hand, but also a bracelet.

It's over. The psychological trauma has worsened. Lou Fei'er is helpless.

"Okay, I understand."

"I've already made the bed and everything else for you. Just make do with it for a day, and you can clean up after you recover tomorrow!" Lou Feier pointed in the direction of the bedroom and said to Ma Hongwei.

This sentence sounds familiar.

Isn’t this what he said to Lou Feier at the beginning!

Xu Xin smiled and shook his head. Lou Feier really holds a grudge and still remembers this incident.

"Since you have nothing to do now, you can help Ma Hongwei clean up the new tree house." Xu Xin said to her, and then warned her, "Also, don't be arrogant to your own people."

"I... okay..." Lou Feier was deflated and lowered her head.

"By the way, I have a task for you." Before Xu Xin left, he looked at Lou Fei'er again, "Do you see the tree house in the south?"

"South?" Lou Feier looked towards the south. "Ah, you want me to bring that survivor over here, right?"

"Well, he is Le Youfang. You should know whether you can bring him and his tree house back today?"

"Le Youfang... Okay, I promise to complete the task! I will definitely bring him here today!" Lou Feier patted her full chest and said confidently, "Leave it to me!"

For her, it was extremely easy to bring back a "family member" from District 187.

Xu Xin nodded, got down from the parasitic tree house, and walked back to his main tree house.

Silver King Mimi and Ah Fu had already come out of the cabin by themselves and were lying at the door.

Xu Xin brought Yin Wang and Mimi back to the tree house, while Ah Fu flew into the tree house by himself, probably because the temperature outside the tree house was too low and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Coco was still napping on the sofa.

Just as Xu Xin was about to place the control panel in a suitable position, his watch began to vibrate.

He raised his hand and saw it was Ji Chaoyang, and immediately answered the call.

"Xu Xin, listen to me, tomorrow, in addition to the arrival of winter, there will be other crises." Although Ji Chaoyang's voice was a little tired, it was very solemn.

Other crises

… Is the real crisis of the second stage coming
