Xu Xin looked out the window and saw Li Wenxi coming out of the portal, wearing a white pleated skirt that she had never worn before and a white furry scarf wrapped around her neck.
Her little face flushed as she ran to Xu Xin's tree house. Xu Xin immediately controlled the tree house and pulled her up.
"Wearing this snow fox scarf, I don't feel cold at all!" Li Wenxi took off the scarf as soon as she entered the house. It was too hot to wear it in the house. "Even my hands and feet are not cold anymore. How does this work?"
"At least it's easier to explain than the principle of your 100-fold explosion rate." Xu Xin smiled, "Nice clothes."
According to the price in the points mall, such a skirt should be sold for 100 points. For ordinary survivors, it would be a waste to use points for such a purpose, but for them, it didn't matter.
When you have tens of thousands of points, it is normal to spend a few hundred points on entertainment.
"Hehe." Li Wenxi put the scarf into her backpack, ran to the sofa and jumped on it. "Ah, your place is still spacious and comfortable. Besides, it feels different."
Not to mention her, even Xu Xin felt an atmosphere that was different from usual, even different from the second floor of the tree house.
Warmth and comfort make people's originally tense mood completely relaxed on the third floor of this tree house.
Just look at Yin Wang, Mimi and Ah Fu standing aside and you will know that these three guys have never slept so soundly at this time.
This atmosphere was definitely created by Coco who was sleeping in the bedroom.
"By the way," Xu Xin traded the iron ore and copper ore he had just collected to Li Wenxi, "I received a lot of iron ore and some copper ore from the sale of iron weapons this time. I'll give them all to you."
"There are also copper mines?" Li Wenxi sat up from the sofa, a little surprised, "They actually use copper mines to buy green-level iron weapons?"
"It's useless to keep it in their hands, so we might as well exchange it for something useful." Xu Xin sat down on the sofa, leaned against the back, and breathed a sigh of relief.
A lot of things happened today, including a blizzard, a beast tide, and the mysteries of various mutated humans, as well as the opening of the world channel and the release of new products in the points mall.
I've been busy for so long and I'm really tired.
Especially in this environment influenced by Coco, the whole person began to relax.
"Then, have you contacted him?" Li Wen immediately lay down, rested his head on Xu Xin's knees, faced up, looked at Xu Xin and asked.
"People from other districts can't have private chats. Haven't you tried it?" Xu Xin gently pinched Li Wenxi's face. The soft, cool and smooth touch made people unable to stop.
"Is that so... I don't want to have a private chat with people from other districts." Li Wenxi turned over and lay on Xu Xin's legs, facing Xu Xin's abdomen, "Aren't they enemies?"
"For now, not yet, because they have the potential to become one of our own."
He had actually thought about this many times.
The best approach in the future is to concentrate all survivors in one area, thus avoiding regional conflicts. According to their previous speculation, everyone will be able to survive.
But the things you have to go through in the middle are too difficult.
Li Wenxi rubbed Xu Xin's legs with her face, and the soft touch made Xu Xin alert.
"Don't move." Xu Xin pinched her face again.
This little girl was moving around so much that he couldn't stand it.
He has nothing to worry about now.
The moon was very bright tonight and Coco slept soundly, which meant that nothing dangerous would happen again.
Moreover, he had been afraid that there might be problems staying in other people's tree houses, but after hearing that there would be 24 hours to prepare even if the tree house was dug up, he knew that as long as there was no problem with the tree house, there would be no problem staying in other survivors' tree houses.
Therefore, there is no problem in keeping Li Wenxi.
Li Wenxi turned her head to look at him, her face slightly flushed, and rubbed it twice more.
The position where she is lying now can't withstand being rubbed!
Xu Xin was very angry and slapped her on the butt with a crisp sound: "If you do this again, I can't bear it anymore!"
Li Wenxi moaned, her face instantly red, but she still didn't say anything. Her delicate body in a white dress trembled slightly, and then she rubbed gently.
Her face felt like it was on fire because she could already feel a shift somewhere.
Now, Xu Xin completely understood what she meant.
He took a deep breath, picked up Li Wenxi and walked into the room.
Li Wenxi buried her head in Xu Xin's chest, her ears red, and let Xu Xin carry her away without moving.
When she came here, she had no intention of returning intact.
However, just as he was about to enter the bedroom door, Xu Xin suddenly stopped, his expression became complicated and strange, and the corners of his eyes began to twitch.
"What...what happened?" Li Wenxi saw Xu Xin standing at the door for a long time without moving. She asked softly, suppressing her shyness and slight fear in her heart.
Xu Xin rolled his eyes and looked at the ceiling in silence.
Why did this guy wake up at this time...
He really wanted to rush in and put him into the bracelet!
That’s right, in the next room, Ma Hongwei, who had been in a coma, woke up.
At this critical moment, I woke up!
I'm so...
Xu Xin's hearing enhancement can capture all the sounds around him. Just now, he heard the sound of Ma Hongwei getting up, and he had already sat up in bed.
Sure enough, Ma Hongwei's voice came from another bedroom: "Um, Brother Xin, are you there? Is this your tree house?"
"Ah!" Li Wenxi's body trembled instantly when he heard someone's voice. He immediately jumped out of Xu Xin's arms, grabbed his arm and hid behind him, staring at the other room with wide eyes, "This... Is there someone else in this room?"
…I’m really impressed.
Xu Xin responded helplessly: "I'm here, this is my tree house."
As he said that, he pushed open the door of another bedroom where Ma Hongwei was and walked in.
Ma Hongwei was sitting on the bed, holding up his body with difficulty. When he saw Xu Xin coming in, his nervous expression relaxed: "It really is your tree house, I..."
Then he saw Li Wenxi, who followed Xu Xin in, with the blush on her face still not fading.
He was very familiar with this woman. Wasn't she the woman in the tree house to the north of his original position
Thinking of what he had said before about this woman, he shrank his head, a little scared, and said cautiously: "Did I wake up at the wrong time and disturb you?"
Xu Xin laughed helplessly and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm glad you woke up. Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"I'm just a little weak. My injuries are all healed, but..." Thinking of the scene where he was squeezed to death in the tree house, Ma Hongwei shuddered, "What on earth was that big snake... It was too scary!"
"It has been in that lake since I came to this world." Xu Xin sighed, "It was my mistake."
"Big snake?" Li Wenxi was a little surprised. "What are you talking about? What big snake? There is a big snake in the lake next to you?"
Xu Xin had not yet told Li Wenxi about the giant anaconda in the center of the lake, so she was naturally a little confused.
"What a big snake!" Ma Hongwei swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of fear and a hint of relief, "It just crushed me to death. Fortunately, I can repair the fatal injury now. Hey, this pill is simply a miracle drug!"
Li Wenxi didn't quite understand what he was saying, but she knew the identity of the man in front of her, so she smiled and said, "You are the Ma Hongwei from the tree house to the south of me, right? The one who made the heavy crossbow for us? Thank you! Thanks to your crossbow, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived until Xu Xin came to save me."
"Ah? You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm Brother Xin's man now, so it's my duty." Ma Hongwei always felt inferior to Li Wenxi and didn't dare to speak.
“… You can stay here today. You can go back tomorrow. There is nothing in your tree house now.” Xu Xin sighed and said this.
What a pity, it was all done.
Ma Hongwei glanced at the slightly disappointed Li Wenxi beside him, and instantly understood what was going on. He waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'd better go back! Just make a bed. I don't feel at ease sleeping in someone else's tree house!"
What he said was true. With his cautious personality, he never slept in other people's rooms.
However, this is Xu Xin's tree house. As a contractor, and now under the influence of Coco, this place feels very comfortable. He actually wants to stay here, but...
Forget it. Bringing a woman back at night, he knew what was going to happen. It would be a sin if he spoiled the mood of the master and mistress.
If Xu Xin could hear what he said, he would definitely tell him speechlessly that you have ruined their fun!
"Stay here."
"No, no, no, I better go back! I really can't sleep well!"
"You really want to go back?"
"Really go back!"
"…Okay then, I'll take you back." Xu Xin actually wanted him to go back.
"I'll go with you!" Li Wenxi also came over.
Xu Xin helped Ma Hongwei down from the bed and asked, "Can you walk?"
“Hmm…” Ma Hongwei stamped his feet slightly, his eyes gradually widening, “I can walk, I can walk. Compared to the last weak period, it seems… a lot better! Not as weak as last time, there must be no problem walking!”
Um
Last time, it was Xu Xin who forced him into burst mode and mutated in order to subdue him.
And this time, it was his second time entering the explosion mode.
Lou Feier even entered the explosive mode only once.
"You mean, you have adapted a lot this time?" Xu Xin asked, eyes slightly widened.
"It's obvious that during the last period of weakness, I couldn't even stand steadily at the beginning. Even when I was about to recover, it was still difficult for me to stand up and walk." Ma Hongwei pinched his thigh, a little surprised, "This time, I feel that there should be no problem walking! Can I adapt to this period of weakness? Then if I enter a few more bursts in the future, will it be..."
"Don't explode until the critical moment." Xu Xin interrupted his thoughts, "The more times you explode, the more serious the mutation of your blood will be. I don't know what will happen in the future."
Ma Hongwei stood up, twisted his neck and said, "It's okay, at least I will never disobey your orders. If something really happens, I will rely on you, Brother Xin."
Who knows what will happen in the future
The reason why Xu Xin does not ruthlessly use Lou Fei'er and Ma Hongwei as tools is also due to this idea.
According to Chang Yin, the mutant beast contract is made with the blood of high-level mutant creatures.
What if in the future, Lou Feier and Ma Hongwei’s strength reaches or even exceeds that of advanced mutant creatures, will this contract still be effective
Similarly, the same goes for Mimi and Afu.
Let them truly submit in their hearts, and then perhaps the future will be worry-free.
Mimi Silver King and Lou Feier are both at the intermediate level now, and it may not be too far away for them to be promoted to the advanced level. Whether there will be any problems at that time, we can only wait and see.
"Come on, I'll take you back."
"I'm going too!"
The three of them swung down from the tree house.
At this time, heavy snow was still falling outside the tree house. Xu Xin and Lou Feier both shivered and wrapped themselves in snow fox scarves.
Ma Hongwei did not feel uncomfortable, but took a breath and said, "Ah, cool, this really makes me feel refreshed."
Well, people's physiques are indeed different.
There is more than ten centimeters of snow on the ground.
"The snow is much heavier than yesterday." Li Wenxi hid half of her face in her scarf and said in a muffled voice.
"Tomorrow, the snow might be more than two meters deep, taller than you." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"I'm taller than you!" Li Wenxi stretched out his hand and gestured, "I'm not much shorter than you."
However, he was not exaggerating. Two meters of snow was very possible. After all, the snow in most areas of the jungle that had not been affected by the beast tide was already more than one meter thick. If it really snowed so heavily in one night, two meters of snow would be very normal.
Finally, the three of them walked through the snow and arrived at Ma Hongwei's tree house. Along the way, Xu Xin also told him why everything in his tree house was gone.
"There are still thieves who steal things..." Ma Hongwei was speechless, "Forget it, there is nothing valuable anyway. My abilities are all on me, but it's a pity to waste the generator and battery..."
Indeed, this is what Xu Xin feels most regretful about, especially the battery, which was made from a blue-grade copper block!
"Oh, right." Ma Hongwei suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Xin, "Brother Xin, actually, when the mutant army appeared yesterday, I had a strange feeling."
"What does it feel like?"
"What did you mean? Um... the same kind? I feel like even if I go down from the tree house and mingle with them, I won't be attacked by them..."
oh
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
If Ma Hongwei hadn't mentioned it, Xu Xin almost forgot one thing. Before he contracted Lou Fei'er, when Lou Fei'er was still a red dot and a local unit, he had already been able to gain the favor of Mimi and Yin Wang.
At that time, he was wondering whether the mutated survivors would no longer be hostile to the mutated creatures
Unexpectedly, Ma Hongwei actually had this feeling.
"... I understand. Next time a mutant creature appears, I'll let you guys experiment on it."
When they arrived at the tree house, Xu Xin made a bed for Ma Hongwei and asked him to live there first, and told him to contact him immediately if there was anything.
Then, he took Li Wenxi away from Ma Hongwei's tree house.
Without the third person, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward and ambiguous again.
He looked at Li Wenxi, only to see that she still had most of her face wrapped in the scarf, holding Xu Xin's arm, and walking silently.
The two of them said nothing until they walked back to the tree house and arrived at the coordinates.
Xu Xin stopped, thinking Li Wenxi was going to go back.
Unexpectedly, Li Wenxi lowered her head, still buried her whole face in the fluff of the scarf, and did not stop while holding Xu Xin's arm. Instead, she pulled Xu Xin and continued to walk towards the tree house.
Xu Xin understood what she meant and quickened his pace.
After returning to the tree house, he immediately picked up Li Wenxi and walked towards the bedroom.
This time, no one else bothered.
Oh, there was also a red panda who was sleeping soundly and might make the two of them sleepy. Xu Xin immediately carried it to another room.
"Xu Xin..."
The night passed in silence, and everything was left unsaid.
