Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 291: It's snowing and winter is coming

"Since we can dig and transplant, let's do it now." Ji Chaoyang took out a shovel.

"good."

The banyan tree that was not connected to the tree house did not have the property that made it difficult to dig up the tree house. After just a few tries, the banyan tree was dug down by Ji Chaoyang.

"boom!"

The whole banyan tree fell to the ground, breaking off most of the branches on its crown.

But Ji Chaoyang showed a happy expression on his face.

"I have obtained the banyan tree plants and can transplant them within 24 hours."

At this time, Xu Xin had already taken out the banyan tree seeds from the tree pit.

The chance of a successful transplant was 50%, and they succeeded the first time!

Ji Chaoyang reached out and touched the banyan tree, which was twelve or thirteen meters high including the crown, and directly put the huge banyan tree into his backpack.

Only then did Xu Xin realize that his backpack was also of purple grade.

A purple-level backpack can reduce the weight to one-fiftieth, otherwise he would not have put the banyan tree directly into the backpack.

"The purple fish skin obtained from the piranha, how many did you get?"

"I only have this one." Ji Chaoyang pointed at his backpack, "The probability of getting a purple one is very low, maybe the probability of getting an intermediate mutant creature is higher."

Carrying the banyan tree, Ji Chaoyang walked to his main tree house and transplanted the banyan tree next to the tree house.

Under the gaze of Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, the banyan tree actually began to grow slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its crown also became lush.

The original blue-level banyan tree was much shorter than Ji Chaoyang's purple-level tree house, but after a few dozen seconds, the bottom of the crown of this blue-level banyan tree was flush with the bottom of the crown of Ji Chaoyang's tree house, and new first and second floors were added to Ji Chaoyang's tree house.

It seems that the banyan tree will automatically adapt and grow according to the type of the main tree house, and even the transplanted tree house will gradually change.

Ji Chaoyang turned around and looked at Xu Xin: "You can take the seed. After all, you were the one who discovered that this banyan tree can be transplanted. You can try planting one or two banyan trees away from the tree house to see if you can expand the protected area again. If that doesn't work, you can give it to someone else."

Xu Xin also had this idea.

He already has a banyan tree there. According to Ji Chaoyang, the scope of his protected area should have reached twelve kilometers.

If we plant another one, can we reach fifteen kilometers

If he could really reach fifteen kilometers, then his nature reserve would be directly adjacent to the nature reserve of Li Wenxi’s tree house!

By then, the surrounding dangerous areas will be further reduced.

"Okay, I'll take it back. By the way, did you find anything when you went out exploring today?"

He was a little curious as to why Ji Chaoyang did not make more preparations in the tree house but went out to explore the day before the disaster.

Ji Chaoyang's expression became a little hesitant, and then he said: "I found some clues, but I'm not sure. I want to verify it during this crisis. I'll tell you when I'm sure."

His brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking of something bad.

Xu Xin didn't say anything, but nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back."

Holding the banyan tree seeds, Xu Xin activated the portal and returned to his tree house.

This seed definitely cannot be given to other people, nor can it be planted near the tree house. He still needs to rely on this seed to produce more seeds.

After thinking about it, Xu Xin planted the seed next to the coordinates, then directly bought a bag of blue-level fertilizer from the mall and sprinkled it on it.

The seed grows into a young tree in just a few tens of seconds.

Very good, this way, the tree will be grown in just ten hours, that is, tomorrow morning.

Just wait till tomorrow morning...

"Huh?"

Xu Xin suddenly felt a chill on his face.

He looked up at the sky.

It was a cloudy night. There was no moon in the sky, nor any bright stars, so it was completely dark all around. The only lights were from the furnaces in his main tree house and Lou Feier's tree house.

He didn't eat the red berries, but the bottle of vision potion he had taken earlier gave him good eyesight and improved his night vision, so he could still see the sky roughly.

Scattered snowflakes are already slowly falling.

It's snowing.

Xu Xin stretched out his hand, and a huge snowflake fell into his palm, and gradually melted because of the warmth of his palm.

Then, snowflakes began to fall.

In just a few minutes, the originally bleak jungle underwent a drastic change. All the branches were covered with white snow, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.

At the current temperature, the snow will not melt at all and will only accumulate thicker.

Xu Xin exhaled a breath of white air.

The cold winter has arrived.

He glanced at the young tree that was still growing vigorously. He just hoped that the tree would not stop growing.

Lou Feier stuck her head out of the window of the tree house, looking at the falling snow in surprise: "It's really snowing! Ah, why are you outside? Do you want to have a snowball fight?"

"What kind of snowball fight is this?" Xu Xin was helpless. He reminded Lou Fei'er, "Remember, if something happens tomorrow, take shelter in my tree house. Your tree house doesn't have much protection."

"Oh, okay, but... what if a wild beast attacks at night?" Lou Feier tilted her head, and then her eyes lit up, "Hey, what do you say, how about I go back to my tree house and guard that blue-level tree house!"

"Then you better think about it. By then, you won't be able to contact us or trade with us. You can only rely on yourself."

Her watch is connected to her main tree house, which can only communicate with Area 187. If she goes there, she will be equivalent to a survivor in Area 187 and will not get any help from them.

"Hmm... forget it. But what if the tree house dies... Well, if it dies, it dies. If it dies, I can transplant it here and I can live in the big tree house. Perfect!" Lou Feier felt that the problem was not big. She had long given up any idea of running away or betraying.

At this moment, the exit of the portal suddenly opened, the purple-black vortex fluctuated, and Li Wenxi jumped out from it, followed by Li Yajun and Le Youfang.

"It's snowing, I'm here to play with you!" Li Wenxi was no longer feeling dizzy. As soon as he jumped out of the whirlpool, he saw Xu Xin next to him. He was surprised and walked directly to him and hugged his arm, "Let's play snowballs together!"

Li Yajun and Le Youfang sat directly on the ground, especially Li Yajun, who was teleporting for the first time and felt very uncomfortable.

Li Wenxi did not help them again. Today, when Sister Xuefei came to her tree house, she did not want her to help. She felt that it would be better to let them sit on the ground and rest for a while than to help them up.

"You, it's already this late and you're still thinking about having a snowball fight." Xu Xin was helpless. How come he didn't have any sense of crisis

"Hey, haven't we prepared everything we need?" Li Wenxi looked up at Xu Xin with a smile on his face. "Since we are fully prepared, there is no point in being nervous. We might as well relax! Besides, it is still safe now. I can take Yajun and the other two through the portal a few more times to help them get used to it."

Well, she was right. These people really should get used to the portal earlier.

Unfortunately, the two people on his side, Lou Feier and Ma Hongwei, were unable to adapt to the portal and could only rely on the red mist to reduce the duration of the side effects. And that red mist...

It’s better to use it as little as possible and study it in detail later.

"Wenxi, I want to have a snowball fight too!" Lou Feier swung down from the tree house and walked towards Li Wenxi and the others.

The coordinates are inside the high-voltage power grid, while the tree house where Lou Feier lives is outside.

Li Wenxi waved to Lou Feier through the electric wire: "Hey, Feier."

Then she looked up at Xu Xin and stuck out her tongue at him: "Your high-voltage power grid covers such a large area. Wow! There is also a small pond! Did you dig it out?"

She let go of Xu Xin's arm, ran to the pool, reached out to touch the water, and then immediately pulled her hand back: "It's so cold!"

Lou Feier had already walked to the high-voltage power grid. She stretched out her hand but was hesitant to open the door. Finally, she looked at Xu Xin pitifully: "Um, can you help me open the door?"

"Open it yourself, you won't get shocked now." Xu Xin refused. He couldn't ask him to open the door every time in the future.

"Hmm..."

There was no other way. Lou Feier gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand and pulled the door open, then rushed in without closing the door and rushed directly to Li Wenxi, "Wenxi, I miss you so much!"

"Ah? Didn't you just come back?" Li Wenxi was a little confused.

"Wow, your husband is abusing me!"

"What?"

The snow was still falling, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It had turned from a light snow to a heavy snow. Because there was no wind at this time, the snowflakes were falling slowly, and even the heavy snow was very gentle.

At this time, the exit of the portal opened again, and this time it was Qi Xuefei.

After she came out, she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Sister Xuefei!" Li Wenxi was about to walk up to her and support her when he saw her waving her hand, taking out a pill and putting it into her mouth. Then, her expression relaxed.

Huh? A pill that eliminates the side effects

"Hey, Sister Xuefei, have your side effects subsided?" Li Wenxi came over with some surprise.

"Well, I made a new type of pill. You asked me to play snowballs to relax, so I just wanted to test the effect." Qi Xuefei rubbed his temples, shook his head, and then smiled, "Well, I'm fully recovered."

“A pill that eliminates the side effects!

"Lou Fei'er was stunned. She immediately ran to Qi Xuefei's side and said, "Um, Sister Xuefei, are there many of these pills? Um, you know, I..."

"I made it for you, as well as Xu Xin's Silver King, Mimi and other mutant creatures." Qi Xuefei took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Lou Feier, "You can try it next time."

"I love you so much, Sister Xuefei!" Lou Feier hugged Qi Xuefei and shouted excitedly.

"That's great. This way Fei'er doesn't have to feel so uncomfortable every time." Li Wenxi was also happy for her.

Lou Feier was fed up with the dizzy feeling. She could have gone into the red mist room to eliminate the side effects, but after being shocked by the electric grid, she was a little afraid of the red mist room. Moreover, Xu Xin no longer allowed her to enter the red mist cabin without permission.

She was worrying about this matter, but she didn't expect Qi Xuefei to make the pills.

"Okay, okay." Qi Xuefei patted Lou Feier, then walked to the two people who were still sitting on the ground and handed each of them a pill, "Can you help me try the medicine?"

Although the two felt uncomfortable, they also heard what the others said just now, and saw Qi Xuefei swallow it herself, so they naturally did not hesitate and ate it directly.

Then their condition improved a lot and they stood up immediately.

"Thank you!" Li Yajun said to her gratefully.

"Too strong, Sister Xuefei is so strong, no wonder even Boss Xu Xin calls her sister!" Le Youfang regained his energy.

"Fully recovered?"

"I've fully recovered and I'm not dizzy at all!"

Qi Xuefei walked to Xu Xin and handed him a medicine bottle. "This is for you. Please help me see the ability of the medicine. I can't see it all by myself."

Xu Xin took the medicine bottle, opened the stopper, and found many small red pills inside.

Xu Xin poured out one.

Strawberry Pill (Blue): After taking it, it can eliminate negative status. After being made into pills, non-survivors can also take it! Taking the second pill within two hours will have no effect.

strawberry

ah!

strawberry!

He suddenly thought of the strawberry (blue), the fruit that could eliminate negative states and make people feel happy, a bit like it was sucking something!

Can't Strawberry (Blue) eliminate negative status

"Is this a pill made of strawberries?" Xu Xin looked up at Qi Xuefei.

"Well, blue-level strawberries themselves have no effect on the side effects of teleportation, but after my processing, their ability to eliminate negative effects has been enhanced. However, their ability to affect emotions has disappeared."

"That's just right." Xu Xin put the pill back into the small medicine bottle. It always feels a little wrong that blue-level strawberries affect emotions. This is perfect!

He gave Qi Xuefei a complete introduction to the medicine.

"Two hours..." Qi Xuefei thought.

"I still have some blue-level strawberries. I'll trade them all to you tonight."

"Okay, I'll process it and give it to you. It's also more useful to the survivors."

At this time, Li Wenxi also came over, her hair and body were covered with snowflakes.

She grabbed Qi Xuefei's arm and said, "Sister Xuefei, let's go have a snowball fight! There will be another beast tide tomorrow, and we won't be able to do this kind of thing then! We should hurry up and enjoy ourselves!"

"Is this considered the last carnival?" Xu Xin's lips curled up into a smile.

"What? You're saying something so harsh!" Li Wenxi glared at Xu Xin. "Come and play snowballs too! Relax yourself. If you keep tensing up like this, you'll get hurt! Oh, call Ji Chaoyang as well."

The snow on the ground was about five or six centimeters thick, and the bare branches of the surrounding trees were now covered with snow.

Several people were happily playing snowball fights, and even Ai Fei and the two little guys came out of their caves and looked over here. Their caves were under the tree house, so they were not covered by snow.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Xin's tense mood gradually relaxed.

If it could always be like this, it wouldn’t be bad.

He sent a voice message to Ji Chaoyang.

The other end picked up the call quickly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Come over and have a snowball fight."

"… ha?"

After a bit of indulgence, Xu Xin was now lying on his bed. Beside him was Coco, who had already been fast asleep.

Everything is ready. Xu Xin has loaded the four crossbows with explosive arrows, and the batteries connected to the power grid are also fully charged. The plant heart, which has never been used, must be eager to try now.

He felt that he could even sit in the tree house, eat hot pot, sing songs, and wait leisurely for the beast tide to recede.

Of course, we can't be so optimistic. After all, there is a big lake next to it, and there is a terrifying giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.

I don’t know if it will appear again with the beast tide this time.

At this time in the regional channels, some people are happy and some are sad.

"It's snowing! It's snowing! This is the first time I've seen snow!"

"Oh my god, the Explorers bosses were right. It really snowed!"

"What the hell? You actually doubt what the explorers say? I just believe them without thinking!"

"It's over, it's snowing. When can I get to the boss' place so that I can live with them..."

“Those who have passed are so lucky!”

"I doubt the bosses, I am guilty, but doesn't that mean tomorrow's beast tide is real?"

"It's okay. With the armor and heavy crossbows provided by the big guys, I am full of confidence! I heard that the big guys will provide us with more powerful weapons tomorrow as appropriate?"

"Who told you that? Any news that the boss hasn't announced is fake news!"

"You're kidding. My brother and I have provided weapons materials to the bosses. It seems to be the blood of some mutant creatures or something."

With the help of Xu Xin and others, most of the survivors in Area 188 have made the best preparations.

He touched Coco's head as she lay on her back, and closed her eyes.

He was awakened by the glaring sunlight.

Xu Xin opened his eyes, sat up from the bed and looked out the window.

The snow has stopped.

The blinding white outside made him squint his eyes and put his hand out to block it.

The whole jungle is covered with snow.

He stood up and opened the window. A gust of biting cold wind made him shiver. Coco, who was still sleeping on the bed, suddenly woke up and jumped up: "Huh? Huh?"

Indeed, winter has arrived.
