When he woke up in the morning, Xu Xin looked at Li Wenxi's face, who was still sleeping soundly, and his eyes widened.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the sleeping face of Li Wenxi, who had snuggled into his arms without him knowing when, with a little force applied by his fingers.
"Um... um? It hurts!" Li Wenxi immediately grabbed Xu Xin's hand, frowned, and slowly opened her eyes.
"When did you come here?" Xu Xin sat up, speechless.
What was going on? He didn't even notice it
Although the person who came was Li Wenxi, was his vigilance so low now
He couldn't even feel someone crawling into his bed
Or...
Xu Xin took a look and found that his little one had woken up, lying on the head of the bed, blinking at him.
It can’t be because of Coco…
“Hmm…” Li Wenxi sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.
The covers slipped off her body.
Her upper body was naked, which made Xu Xin's eyes twitch slightly.
I don’t like wearing pajamas, well, it’s a good habit.
"About, around twelve o'clock?" She rubbed her eyes and muttered, "I couldn't sleep alone, so I came to find you."
"Twelve o'clock..."
At that time, he had probably only been asleep for an hour, so he shouldn't have entered deep sleep yet, right
"I was afraid of waking you up, so I moved very carefully, but you were sleeping like a dead pig. You didn't even wake up when I snuggled into your arms." Li Wenxi's eyes gradually became clear.
… It seems that it’s because of Coco.
If it were his usual self, he would never sleep so soundly.
However, there is no need to worry.
If there was any danger, even if he was not affected, Coco would definitely wake up before him and wake him up.
It doesn't matter.
On the contrary, under the influence of cocoa, this night's sleep made him feel full of strength and energy.
He looked at Li Wenxi.
This early in the morning, her posture...
Li Wenxi followed Xu Xin's gaze, looked down at her body, her face flushed, and she pulled the quilt over her.
Then he was pulled away by Xu Xin.
“Hey? What…what do you want to do…! So early in the morning… Coco! Coco is still here!”
Xu Xin immediately carried Coco outside and closed the door.
"Hmm? Hmm?" Coco stood at the door, looking at the closed bedroom door, confusion written all over her bear face.
…
Li Wenxi went to take a shower, while Xu Xin stood by the bedroom window, looking out.
It is past six in the morning and it is not yet dawn.
It got dark very early yesterday. He remembered that it was dark before four o'clock.
It seems that the dawn time today will be delayed.
As winter continues, the nights are getting longer.
He now seemed to understand a little bit what the mysterious voice meant when it said, "Let this severe winter end as soon as possible, otherwise terrible things will happen."
One can imagine what the situation would be like if this cold winter continued.
The days became shorter and shorter, the nights became longer and longer, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, and the temperature became lower and lower. Finally, the world fell into the polar night, and most of the tree houses were completely buried by the snow.
This does not include the possibility of those mutant snow creatures and those predators making a comeback.
This is really scary!
Fortunately, they are in Area 188 and don’t have to worry about the snow layer.
The temperature in Area 188 can now be maintained above 0 degrees all day long, and there will be no more snowfall.
The snow outside the window has shown signs of melting slightly.
I'm afraid that when the sun comes out, the three-meter-thick snow layer in the jungle will begin to melt faster!
I'm afraid that in a few days, all the snow around will melt away.
The survivors from Area 188 who want to come to their side need to act before the snow melts completely.
Otherwise, when the snow layer supporting the skateboards completely melts, their speed of travel without mounts will drop significantly.
At this time, Xu Xin heard another reminder of random amplification.
If the tree house decoration degree is greater than 500, you will get a random increase for today: luck increase, which lasts for one day. At the same time, you can choose the second increase in the historical increase.
…
Oh shit!
His eyes suddenly widened.
Luck?!
Increase in luck
There is actually such an increase!
He immediately clicked on the random amplification page to check the introduction of luck amplification.
Luck Increase: Greatly increase the probability of obtaining high-level resources and the success rate of various items.
Well, the fortune was slightly different from what he had imagined.
It's not the kind of luck that the protagonist has, where he encounters a treasure chest when he goes out, or falls off a cliff and finds a grandfather with top-level skills and a ring, but it's pure luck.
It was somewhat similar to the koi he had eaten before.
The only difference is the word "substantially"!
This really made him feel itchy.
If we had known earlier that there would be such an increase, we should have kept the corpses of mutant creatures obtained from the previous beast tide until today to decompose and cut them up.
That way you can definitely get more purple-level materials.
Walking out of the bedroom, I could still hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom next door.
He came to the still burning fireplace.
Although the current temperature has increased, it is still between 0-10℃, which is still relatively cold, so the fireplace still needs to be turned on.
Yin Wang and Mimi were lying by the fireplace. When they saw Xu Xin coming, Yin Wang let out an "Ah" while Mimi just raised her eyes.
The slightly broken egg still stood quietly beside the furnace, showing no sign of hatching.
Coco was lying beside the egg, staring at it. She stretched out her little paw and wanted to touch it, but was worried that the egg would break if she touched it, so she had to retract her paw.
When it saw Xu Xin, it turned its head and cried out in dissatisfaction: "Ying!"
It seemed to be protesting against Xu Xin throwing it out of the bedroom.
Xu Xin scratched Coco's chin and then looked at the broken egg.
Because he no longer has the hearing enhancement function, Xu Xin can no longer hear the breathing of the little life in the egg, which makes him a little panicked.
He won’t die, will he
The egg is broken into pieces, with cracks all over it. Could it be that it really can't hatch
For some reason, Xu Xin always felt that the creature in this egg must be very powerful.
It must be hatched.
But how can I make it hatch
That’s right!
Before on the snowy mountain, it was the fragment of his energy core that awakened the egg, causing it to make a sound and attract his attention!
Xu Xin immediately took out the energy core fragment from his backpack.
Perhaps because this is only a very small part of the giant's power, the power of the energy core fragment is not as strong as Xu Xin imagined.
In the previous beast tide, it did not directly kill the controlled mutant creatures, but rather played a more intimidating role.
The moment it was taken out, the light from the energy core fragment illuminated the entire interior of the tree house.
Then, under Xu Xin's somewhat surprised gaze, the egg finally reacted again!
However, it wasn't the creature inside that broke out of the egg, but...
The cracks on the egg were actually slowly... healing!
And it also makes a "click... click..." sound.
He was very familiar with this voice.
Isn’t this the same sound that we heard in the snowy mountains
This is not the sound of the egg breaking, but the sound of the cracks healing as the egg is affected by the energy core fragments.
The temperature in the tree house is normal, so the energy core fragments do not need to consume too much energy to maintain the surrounding temperature, and Xu Xin does not have to worry about the energy in it being consumed too quickly.
At this time, Li Wenxi came out of the bathroom with wet hair: "Hmm... I miss the hair dryer so much... What are you doing?"
She walked over.
"This... reverse hatching?" She stared with wide eyes at the gradual healing process of the egg in front of her.
Xu Xin discovered that the bright white light around him had become much weaker.
It seems that a lot of the energy in the core has been taken away by this egg!
Wow, this egg can actually steal the energy from the giant’s core!
Just when I said there’s no need to worry about consuming it too quickly, it suddenly became gloomy!
Sure enough, this egg is no ordinary egg!
Finally, the egg became smooth without a single crack.
The eggshell was actually completely repaired!
Seeing that the energy core fragments had no effect and the white light had also weakened a lot, Xu Xin quickly put them away.
This thing has so many uses.
"Huh? Xu Xin, it seemed to have moved just now!" Li Wenxi squatted down and wanted to poke the egg with his hand.
Then, in the astonished eyes of Xu Xin and Li Wenxi, this egg actually...
Jumped by yourself?!
With this jump, he just avoided Li Wenxi's poke.
“Hmm?!”
"Oh?"
Coco and Silver King were both startled and stood up, staring at the egg that suddenly moved on its own. Even Mimi turned her eyes over.
"The egg is alive!" Li Wenxi exclaimed.
She didn't believe it and wanted to reach out and touch the egg, but the egg jumped to the side and dodged.
Xu Xin was also surprised.
What on earth is inside this thing? It can move when it is still an egg.
What if it hatches
Sure enough, the creature in this egg is definitely not simple!
Perhaps, this was not the egg of the white-headed sea urchin as he had imagined before.
At this time, Coco stretched out its claws and grabbed the giant egg which was slightly larger than its entire body.
Unexpectedly, the giant egg rolled and avoided the problem.
"Bing!" Coco attacked again immediately, but was dodged by rolling away.
So, Coco and the egg began to run around in the tree house, chasing each other.
Xu Xinze and Li Wenxi looked at each other.
This scene is really weird.
A red panda was crying and chasing an egg that was bigger than itself.
Coco ran happily. He finally got the ball-shaped toy he had always wanted and no longer had to play with the skull.
Although this ball-shaped toy is more oval and larger than its body, it can move on its own...
"Bang!" Giant Egg was chased by Coco and couldn't dodge in time, so he hit the table leg hard.
It rolled slowly and was then pinned down by Coco who pounced on it.
"Ying!" Coco let out a triumphant cry and slapped the eggshell with her little paws.
The entire table was almost knocked over by the impact just now, but the giant egg was completely intact and still smooth and shiny.
On the contrary, the legs of the blue-grade wooden table were slightly deformed by the collision...
Is this egg so hard after the cracks were repaired
If the force just now hit Xu Xin's head, I'm afraid it wouldn't be intact...
Giant Egg breaks free from Coco again and prepares to escape again.
"Stop destroying the house!" Xu Xin immediately scolded, asking Coco and Dan to be more restrained.
The giant egg seemed to listen to Xu Xin's words and stopped immediately.
Coco climbed onto the giant dome and lay there, wagging its big tail. The giant dome also swayed slowly like a tumbler.
It looks quite harmonious.
"Well... so interesting!" Li Wenxi's eyes lit up, "This egg can actually roll and jump on its own, and it can even interact with Coco!"
This egg is too weird...
Are there any eggs in this state
It feels a bit like a pupa.
Fortunately, he did not crack the eggshell and pull the little creature out.
Xu Xin shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it like this for now."
Although this egg is very strange, it is just an egg and is of no use now.
We can only wait for it to hatch.
There is still a lot to do today.
"Fei'er sent me a message. Let's go find Fei'er for breakfast!"
Li Wenxi took one last look at the egg, then pulled Xu Xin down from the tree house. Coco followed, and the egg went back to the fireplace to warm itself by the fire.
When we arrived at Lou Feier's tree house, breakfast was already prepared on the table.
The two girls ate breakfast, teased Coco and chatted while Xu Xin watched the regional channel.
Even though it was only about seven o'clock and it was still dark outside, the regional channels were already very lively.
Because at least hundreds of people have decided to set out towards the direction of the light column today.
Everyone can't wait.
"Why isn't it morning yet?"
"Really? I give in. The days are getting shorter and shorter now."
"Why don't we just go? I still have blue-level red berries in my hand. There won't be much difference between darkness and daylight."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't the elders say that they would distribute equipment to us today?"
"Boss, boss, are you awake? Are you going to send me equipment or not? It doesn't really matter if you don't. I'm less than a hundred kilometers away, so it doesn't matter whether I have equipment or not!"
Xu Xin had actually been thinking about the issue of equipment, so he had been speaking in an ambiguous way.
