Everyone in the tree house was silent for two seconds, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.
Qi Xuefei was covered in blood. As a doctor, she could tolerate this much better and didn't feel too disgusted.
But watching a person's head explode in front of her eyes still gave her quite a fright, and the blood stains on his body were really smelly.
Fortunately, Xu Xin had a water heater and a water pump, so they could take a shower directly. Li Wenxi immediately pulled Qi Xuefei to take a shower.
"The direction he ran away from was right in front of my tree house." Ji Chaoyang, who was standing by the window, glanced out of the tree house again with a serious look in his eyes, "Xu Xin, put me down. I want to go back to the tree house. Maybe I can find its trace there."
“… I can’t see its location on my map anymore. It may not be around here anymore. Are you sure you want to go find it?”
It was definitely impossible to chase it from his tree house because the red dot outside was moving too fast. Moreover, the red dot suddenly disappeared when it was about one kilometer away from Xu Xin's tree house.
He memorized the location where the red dot disappeared.
The red dot on the map suddenly disappears. There are only three possibilities.
The first is that the creature represented by the red dot has died, and the second is that the creature has gone underground and his map ability cannot detect it.
The third way is to be teleported to other places through the purple-black vortex.
Based on the previous situation, Xu Xin felt that the third possibility was the most likely. So even if he went to look for it now, it would probably just be a waste of time.
"Sure, the scene I predicted might be related to this. I have to go check it out."
"Okay, I'll let you go. By the way..." Xu Xin told him the place where the mutant disappeared, "You can go and take a look."
Xu Xin did not ask Ji Chaoyang what he saw in the prophecy.
If he wants to say something, he will say it naturally, and given his personality, he basically won't hide his shortcomings.
After seeing Ji Chaoyang off, Xu Xin squatted in front of the dead mutant.
“嘤…” Coco jumped down from the dining table, shook her body, and walked to Xu Xin.
Mimi and Silver King also gathered around.
This man's death was too tragic.
He suppressed his discomfort and looked at the mutant's face and wounds, trying to see if there were any useful traces left.
In the end, he still found nothing.
This person must have some secrets, but unfortunately, he was killed before they could even interrogate him.
Xu Xin stood up reluctantly, and when he turned around, he saw Lou Feier standing beside him in a somewhat strange state.
Lou Feier opened her eyes wide and looked at the corpse on the ground. Her breathing became slightly rapid and two blood lines quietly climbed up her cheeks.
Xu Xin could feel that her strength was constantly increasing and it seemed that she was about to enter explosive mode.
It happens again!
Xu Xin immediately looked at the beasts around him, but none of them had the same situation as Lou Feier.
"Lou Feier, wake up!" Xu Xin immediately scolded.
However, it was of no use. She acted as if she couldn't hear anything. She even stuck out her tongue and licked the blood that splashed on the corner of her mouth. Then the red light in her eyes became even brighter!
Upon seeing this, Xu Xin slapped her on the back of the head, causing her to fall headfirst onto the sofa.
"Ah!" Lou Feier screamed and even bounced on the sofa.
"What's wrong?" The voices of Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei came from the bathroom.
"It's nothing, don't worry." Xu Xin responded, walked behind Lou Feier who was standing up from the sofa, grabbed the back of her collar and lifted her up.
If she continued like this, Xu Xin would have no choice but to put her in the bracelet and let her calm down.
Lou Feier turned her head and saw Xu Xin's intention. She immediately waved her hands in panic and said, "Don't! Don't! I'm back to normal!"
Xu Xin's expression relaxed a little. He looked at Lou Fei'er's panicked expression for a few seconds, then sat on the sofa with Ke Ke in his arms: "Tell me, what did you feel just now?"
Her condition this time was similar to the last time she discovered this person, and she almost went into explosion mode.
This mutant human who can't move at all is still affecting Lou Feier even after his death. What kind of magic power does he have
Lou Feier took a few deep breaths and regained her composure.
"This person's flesh and blood is very tempting to me." She stood in front of Xu Xin and began to talk about her feelings. "I can't describe that feeling. If I have to make an analogy, it's probably like... a hungry zombie seeing fresh human flesh?"
"Oh?" Xu Xin glanced at her. "Have you felt this way about him from the beginning?"
"... before it exploded, I just felt it a little, but it wasn't obvious, but now..." Lou Feier glanced at the person on the ground again. Tong Kong began to tremble violently, then turned to beg Xu Xin, "Please put it away, I feel like I'm going crazy..."
Xu Xin randomly found a green-level backpack and collected the mutant's body.
Although the things in the backpack did not affect each other, the corpse was too strange. Xu Xin could not accept it together with the things in the backpack, especially the food.
However, he was surprised to find that the bloodstains at the place where the body fell, as well as the bloodstains that were originally splattered on the walls and ceiling of the tree house, had now completely disappeared.
Does the tree house have a self-cleaning function
Or can the tree house absorb this blood
Xu Xin put away the body. Lou Feier finally breathed a sigh of relief and then sat down limply on the ground.
"What on earth have I become..." She was in a very low mood and a little out of control. "I actually have that kind of feeling towards human flesh. Am I really crazy..."
"Do you have the same feeling towards Ma Hongwei?" Xu Xin asked after thinking for a moment.
Lou Feier shook her head and said, "This person does give me the same feeling as Ma Hongwei, but Ma Hongwei does not have this kind of temptation."
Xu Xin nodded slowly.
“Hmm…” Coco walked to Lou Feier and pushed her gently.
Looking at Coco like this, Lou Feier felt much better for some reason, and the depression she had just felt was swept away.
She touched Keke's little head, then stood up and said to Xu Xin: "I actually have a guess about this. Do you want to listen to it? I think it's very reasonable."
"you say."
Lou Feier considered her words for a moment before speaking.
"That person is indeed of the same kind as me, but he may have eaten something, or injected something into his body, which allowed him to remain in an explosive state. It was also this thing that affected me repeatedly and almost caused me to mutate."
Lou Feier pointed to her face.
Now her face has returned to its flawless white state, and the bloodstains that had once crawled up her cheeks have completely disappeared.
"This also explains why I have that feeling towards his body, because there is a substance in his body that allows me to maintain my explosive form! It is that substance that is tempting, not his flesh and blood!"
Lou Feier said firmly that she was also cheering herself up, she didn't want to become a pervert who was interested in human flesh!
Xu Xin fell into deep thought.
What she said was also what Xu Xin had just been thinking about.
After hearing the whistle, this mutant human reacted immediately and died directly. This shows that there must be something in his body that was affected by the whistle.
And this thing is most likely the work of the furry weirdo who blows the whistle.
Xu Xin thought of Wen Guixin's mental toxin.
Perhaps, it was similar in nature to a mental toxin, controlling the body of this mutant human and causing his death.
Could it be that other mutant creatures are also controlled in this way and with this substance
"Do you have this feeling about the corpses of other creatures?" Xu Xin asked again.
Lou Feier shook her head and said, "No, he's the only one who gives me this feeling."
It seems that it is not the case.
Xu Xin nodded, which made him feel relieved.
"Okay, relax. Maybe it's just what you said, some kind of material exploded and you were affected. It's not a big problem." Xu Xin shook his head. "However, it happened too suddenly. I didn't have time to tell them and pull you into the explorer."
"... Let's not do it for now." Lou Fei'er hesitated. She sighed, "I don't even know what state I'm in now. I'd better follow you first. If..."
She bit her lip and said, "If I'm really crazy, you can... just kill me. I don't want to be like a zombie and completely lose my will!"
"You're thinking too far ahead." Xu Xin was somewhat helpless. He didn't know if this guy was affected by something, but his mood became unstable again. "If you really go crazy, I'll lock you in the bracelet and see if you can recover."
"..." Lou Fei'er's eyes twitched, her expression bitter, and she looked at Xu Xin with some resentment, "Then you might as well kill me, my master..."
At this time, Qi Xuefei and Li Wenxi, who had finished their shower, walked out of the bathroom. Both of them changed into a new set of leather armor.
"What are you talking about? Fei'er just screamed suddenly." Li Wenxi came up and wanted to sit next to Xu Xin, but when she saw the blood on the sofa and remembered that she had just taken a shower, she did not sit down. "Hurry up and clean up the room. It's all blood. How uncomfortable! Fei'er, don't you want to take a shower?"
"No, I'll just go back to my own tree house." Lou Feier pointed in the direction of her parasitic tree house. She didn't want others to know her current condition.
"What's the situation?" Qi Xuefei asked.
She was just a little frightened by the first blow, but she has recovered now.
"Ji Chaoyang went after it, but I don't know if he can catch up. There's nothing to be found from the mutant human's corpse."
"… Why don't you give me the body so I can do a quick autopsy." Qi Xuefei hesitated and said, "But I can't guarantee that I can get any information."
Although she has studied anatomy, she is not a forensic doctor and her expertise is not suitable, so she may not be able to find any abnormalities.
"That's fine." Xu Xin handed her the backpack containing the body. "The body is inside, but the head is a little... um... the rest is intact."
Qi Xuefei took the backpack, checked it inside, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
Xu Xin sent Lou Feier and Qi Xuefei to the tree house.
Li Wenxi was kept by him, and he wanted to ask her about the incident that had caused her to fall into a deep sleep just now.
Of course, Li Wenxi herself had no intention of leaving. She contacted Li Yajun and Leyoufang, and after confirming that there was nothing special at her tree house, she pushed Xu Xin into the bathroom to take a shower, and helped Xu Xin clean up the tree house.
Although the bloodstains on the walls and floor seemed to have been automatically cleaned by the tree house, there were still some stains on the furniture.
When Xu Xin came out of the shower, Li Wenxi had already made the interior of the tree house look brand new, much cleaner than before it was stained with blood.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable with the blood on his furniture, most of Xu Xin's furniture were blue-level furniture, and it would be a waste to replace them. So Li Wenxi kept all the blue-level furniture and replaced all the green-level ones.
Anyway, she had more green-level materials than she could use up. If she had more, her tree house might even collapse.
However, if it were Ji Chaoyang, he would probably have to replace everything in the tree house, including the blue-level ones. After all, that guy couldn't tolerate such a thing.
"Huh, we're finally done!" Li Wenxi sat on the new sofa, stretched, picked up Coco who was lying on the sofa, and lay on the legs of Xu Xin who had just sat next to her. "Xu Xin, tell me, when will we no longer be threatened by death?"
"All we can do is to keep getting stronger." Xu Xin pinched Li Wenxi's cheek, "Don't lie down, I have something to ask you."
"What's wrong? Isn't it okay to ask this way?" Li Wenxi had no intention of getting up. She was still lying on her side, with her soft face pressed against Xu Xin's legs, rubbing against them.
The corner of Xu Xin's eyes twitched, and he resisted the urge to pick her up and execute her on the spot. In this position, he told Li Wenxi what had happened before.
After hearing this, Li Wenxi sat up suddenly, looked at Coco who was dozing in her arms, and asked with wide eyes, "You mean, I suddenly fell asleep just now because of Coco?"
Coco turned her head and looked at the two of them.
"Coco, were you the one who made me fall asleep just now?" Li Wenxi held Coco in front of her and stared at it.
"Hmm?" Keke made another puzzled sound and tilted her little head, not knowing what Li Wenxi was talking about.
Xu Xin brought Keke over, touched its head and asked softly, "Keke, do you know what you are capable of?"
"Hmm..." Keke stared at Xu Xin blankly, then buried her little head in Xu Xin's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Hmm..."
Coco seems to be unaware of her own abilities
Could it be that this was just a coincidence
Li Wenxi, who was sitting next to him, looked at Keke, thinking about something, then his eyes widened and finally he exclaimed: "Yes, it was Keke! It was definitely Keke who influenced me just now!"
"Oh?" Xu Xin looked at her, "Can you sense it?"
“Yeah!” Li Wenxi nodded vigorously. “After dinner, I held Coco and stroked its fur. At that moment, I felt that Coco was a little different today. Holding it, I felt… a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere! Yes, that’s right, that’s the feeling. I even put it down out of curiosity, but then that feeling disappeared!”
… So, Coco’s ability to suddenly manifest is due to subtle influences
"Well... But, when I hold it now, I don't have that feeling anymore." Li Wenxi held Coco in his arms and rubbed it hard. "Now Coco is just an ordinary Coco!"
"Hmm~" Coco felt very comfortable being rubbed by Li Wenxi and cried softly.
In other words, when Coco is sleeping, he can influence the people around him to fall asleep together
But Coco sleeps next to his pillow every night, and often sleeps in his arms and on his shoulders. How come he doesn't feel anything at all
Could it be a new ability that Coco just acquired
Is this ability gained because I've been sleeping too much recently
"There shouldn't be any more disasters today, right? Others haven't resumed communication yet, which means their danger is not over yet." Li Wenxi lay on Xu Xin's legs again, "Until their disaster is over, we should be safe, right? Let's take a nap. It's been a while since we last had one!"
Xu Xin hasn't had a nap in a long time.
Before he came into this world, he was the type of person who didn't sleep at noon and collapsed in the afternoon, so a nap was a must every day.
But after coming to this world, where would he have the time to take a nap? Besides, he also had blue-level oranges, blue-level fruits that could restore his mental strength. He hadn't enjoyed such a luxurious activity as a nap for a long time.
Coco had fallen asleep in Li Wenxi's arms.
Xu Xin began to sense something was wrong.
"Hmm... That's the feeling, so comfortable..." Li Wenxi muttered to herself, resting her head on Xu Xin's legs.
Xu Xin also felt a sense of ease and comfort, and his body and brain began to gradually relax.
"This is..." He looked at Coco in Li Wenxi's arms, "Coco's ability?"
"sleep… "
Li Wenxi resisted the urge to sleep and propped herself up. She reached out and pushed Xu Xin down on the sofa, then snuggled into his arms.
Two people squeezed into a small sofa, with a little panda lying on them.
Xu Xin looked at her face right in front of him, at her almond-shaped eyes that could no longer be opened and her slightly pouty lips, and whispered, "... I really want to carry you to the bed right now..."
Affected by Coco, he began to feel drowsy and had no strength left in his body.
Li Wenxi was already lost in thought and began to talk nonsense: "Huh... come on... I don't know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident... I might as well just give it to you..."
As he spoke, he leaned over and gently kissed Xu Xin's lips, then pressed his face against his, closed his eyes completely, and breathed softly.
She fell asleep. But what she said just now was probably what she really thought.
After hearing this, Xu Xin really wanted to carry her to the bedroom, but he was already unable to do so.
Just before he lost consciousness, he looked at Coco again.
This little guy is so scary...
