Help
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched violently.
What's going on
What happened to Shi Wanyun
The situation was so critical that she would send me a private message for help the moment she received the notification from China Unicom
He immediately replied: "What happened on your side?"
If it is really a danger that can endanger Shi Wanyun, who is considered the strongest person in District 1...
I'm afraid ordinary survivors can't defend themselves against this kind of danger at all!
If this happened in District 188, happened to them...
No, we must figure this out immediately!
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" Li Wenxi saw that Xu Xin hadn't spoken for a long time, so she asked curiously, "What happened?"
"What's wrong?" Beside him, Lou Feier saw Xu Xin's somewhat surprised and slightly solemn expression, and came over to look at the screen projected by the watch in front of him.
Then she also saw Shi Wanyun's message, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Shi Wanyun contacted you? She actually asked you for help?"
Lou Feier's words attracted the attention of others around her.
They all looked towards Xu Xin.
Xu Xin nodded and frowned, "The moment the connection was established, he asked me for help."
Other people around also came over and looked at the private messages between Xu Xin and Shi Wanyun.
"Help..." Ji Chaoyang also frowned slightly, "It seems that this matter is more dangerous than we thought before, and it may be more complicated..."
really.
Xu Xin's expression also became more serious.
He originally thought that this crisis might not affect their District 188 too much.
Judging from the number of deaths, their District 188 has only lost a dozen people so far.
Moreover, after they suggested that everyone stay in the tree house and not go out, the number of people in Area 188 has not decreased since then. This is most likely because every survivor in Area 188 has a powerful heavy crossbow, so the guys who cause these dangers dare not approach the tree house in Area 188.
But if this danger could directly affect a strong person like Shi Wanyun, then perhaps...
It will cause huge casualties!
Xu Xin waited for a long time on the private messaging interface with Shi Wanyun, but the other party never replied to him after sending the message "Help!"
He sent two more messages, but there was still no contact from the other side.
And the others did not receive her message for help.
… What’s going on
Is the crisis so serious that I can't even reply to a message
It seems that her first message was just two urgent words, but without any useful information, which made Xu Xin unable to help her.
"Forget it, now that we have finished our work here, you can go back first." Xu Xin looked up and said, "If there is anything, I will tell you."
"Okay, Brother Xin, let's go back first." Wang Lei nodded, "But do you want to stay here?"
"Yeah. Calculating the time, Niu Fugui should be here soon. I'll wait for him here."
The others went back one by one, and soon, only Xu Xin and Lou Feier were left near the teleportation formation.
"Leave this to me." Lou Feier patted her chest. "You can go back. We have just connected to Area 1. There must be a lot of things to do, right?"
Okay.
Lou Feier is also the activator of the formation, so naturally she also has the authority to connect to the formation.
"Okay, be careful. The jungle is not safe right now."
Xu Xin looked around and used his enhanced vision to carefully examine the surroundings, but he did not find anything unusual.
… Next time I go out, I should bring cocoa with me.
"Also, when Niu Fugui arrives, bring them to the Explorers as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Xin nodded and walked towards his tree house.
"Are you done with your work?" Li Wenxi never hung up the phone.
"Well, anything else?"
"What do you think! Have you forgotten what you just gave me?"
ah!
Xu Xin's eyes lit up: "Have you refined the metal?"
"Hmm... Unfortunately, no." Li Wenxi said with some regret, "My furnace is not hot enough. It tells me that it should be a fuel problem."
fuel
"The fuel you are using now should be... coal, right?"
“It is indeed coal, but they are all green-grade coal. It seems that the quality is not high enough.” Li Wenxi said helplessly.
"When you were underground, I asked your pangolin to dig a lot of coal for me, but... why is the coal in your coal mine all green-grade? There are only a few blue-grade coals occasionally. Blue-grade coal is really pitiful..."
Is his coal mine full of green-grade coal
That being said, it seems to be true...
He seemed to have never even dug up coal above green grade.
"Then smelting that metal..."
"We need fuel of purple level or above." Li Wenxi said.
… Purple fuel?!
How should I put it? It is indeed meteorite iron from outer space...
This is simply not a level they can access now...
"My furnace is still more powerful! Normally, to smelt it, you need fuel of the same level, that is, gold-level fuel!"
… Well, it seems that they have taken another big step.
This purple-grade fuel is simply not accessible to normal survivors at their current stage.
but…
"We... have purple-grade meteorite iron ore, right? Can purple-grade meteorite iron ore be smelted with blue-grade fuel?"
"Well, it's possible, but..." Li Wenxi said awkwardly, "The blue-grade coal I have is not even enough to smelt a piece of purple-grade meteorite iron ore."
Then, Li Wenxi explained it to him briefly.
It turns out that it takes a full twelve hours to smelt a piece of purple-grade meteorite iron ore using blue-grade coal.
But Li Wenxi only had eight pieces of blue-grade coal.
A piece of blue-grade coal can only sustain one hour of smelting, and the total useful fuel in her hand can only sustain eight hours of smelting.
"Is blue grade wood not acceptable?" Xu Xin had a headache.
Is this the pain of having high-grade materials but not being able to use them
"No, no. The requirements for wood are even higher, because wood itself is not considered a qualified smelting material. The temperature is not high enough. Even if I use my furnace, I must use wood of the same grade to barely work, and the time will be doubled."
For the same grade of wood, the time is doubled...
In other words, purple-grade meteorite iron ore requires purple-grade wood to be smelted, and it takes 24 hours to smelt a piece!
This is too outrageous!
This is something they really shouldn't be exposed to at this stage!
But... if it can really be smelted...
"… You should focus on smelting the steel first. Put this thing aside for now." Xu Xin said with a headache.
The metal that makes up that underground prison and the metal rooms we encountered before should all be this meteorite, right
This thing seems to be the key metal commonly used by the Blood Vein Clan.
"Hmm... I'll try using purple-grade wood first. I still have some. Hey, Xu Xin, tell me, if we let your pangolin dig deep underground, will the coal mines there be of a higher grade?"
“… You can give it a try.”
Xu Xin has now walked to the edge of the mine and is looking into it.
The mine has been expanded to a large extent, but it is not very deep.
"Then I'll go over now!"
Li Wenxi is very interested in this new metal and plans to come over now.
"Don't you have to worry about your mining team?"
"Over there, let them dig by themselves first, let Yajun lead them. I am more concerned about this new metal now."
When we returned to the tree house, Li Wenxi had also arrived.
She greeted Xu Xin and went straight to Xu Xin's mine with her beloved Pangolin Concubine.
Xu Xin thought about it for a moment.
He has the ability to discover alchemical materials, but there are indeed no such minerals around his and Li Wenxi's tree house.
But he remembered that Qi Xuefei had an alchemy mine, but later he had been busy and didn't lack materials, so he forgot about it.
Perhaps, we can develop the mining area over there.
Sitting on the sofa, Coco, who he had left at home before, jumped onto his legs with a "ying" sound, and the egg rolled to his feet.
Xu Xin casually checked the alliance channel.
Everyone was having a pleasant chat, and he also received private messages from other bigwigs in Area 1.
Xu Xin opened Shi Wanyun's private message again.
She still didn't reply.
The words "Help!" really made Xu Xin feel itchy.
What happened on her end
He was still very happy to provide help to Shi Wanyun. After all, as a lone wolf, it would be better to lure her over as soon as possible.
But she didn't say anything, and Xu Xin was helpless and didn't know how to help her.
With a sigh, Xu Xin was about to chat with other strong men in Area 1 when suddenly, a message popped up on the screen.
Here we come!
"Weapons, please!"
It's only a few words, very brief.
Did she mean to let herself give her a weapon
Xu Xin instantly imagined her current situation in her mind.
At this time, Shi Wanyun was hiding somewhere trembling, not daring to move, not even to make a sound, and she didn't even dare to turn on her watch, because the light from the projection might allow the enemies around her to discover her.
And she could only hide there and look for an opportunity. Once the enemies around her stopped paying attention to her, she would immediately open her watch and send a message to Xu Xin.
but…
She must not be in her tree house now, right
Then she asked me to trade weapons to her, could I accept it
Or is it that her watch is the same as mine, a purple-level watch that can be traded
Xu Xin suddenly remembered that he had seen people from District 1 discussing Shi Wanyun on the World Channel, saying that she had also been ranked first in the district.
The purple watch was the first prize in the exploration activity.
That should be correct, her watch is the same as mine, both are purple-level watches!
But... weapons are something you can't just give away casually.
Even if he wanted to give it to her, he didn't know what type of weapon Shi Wanyun needed now.
Melee or ranged
If Shi Wanyun's situation was really as he imagined, what she needed most now might not be weapons.
But...
The Cloak of the Hidden!
If the other person has a Cloak of the Hider, maybe I can communicate with him!
but…
The Cloak of the Stealth is the product of Zhao Xiaochuan's ability and can be considered one of their explorers' trump cards.
He contacted Zhao Xiaochuan and explained the matter to him.
"Sure, Brother Xin, I'll give you one right now, you can send it to her." Zhao Xiaochuan agreed immediately, "What kind of trump card is this? It's just a torn piece of clothing."
He doesn't care.
But it is true.
Compared to his abilities, the Cloak of the Invisible is indeed of little use to him.
However, this thing has saved the lives of explorer members more than once. It is definitely a life-saving artifact!
He himself was a little hesitant about giving such a divine weapon to a powerful person from Area 1 whom he had never met before.
Forget it. You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. It can be considered as making friends with Shi Wanyun.
He directly gave the Hermit Cloak that Zhao Xiaochuan had traded to Shi Wanyun.
There was no movement from the other side for a long time.
Xu Xin rubbed Coco's belly and waited silently.
After about five or six minutes, the transaction was finally accepted.
Then, about half a minute later, the other party responded.
"We are saved for now. Thank you. I didn't expect you to have this kind of equipment."
A very long string of words.
It seemed that she was temporarily out of danger and could communicate normally.
Xu Xin smiled slightly.
His guess was correct.
At this moment, his watch vibrated.
The other party actually sent him a voice call directly.
Xu Xin didn't hesitate and picked up the phone directly.
"Shh... Speak softly."
Before he could say anything, the person on the other side spoke first.
His voice was very low and he spoke very softly, as if he was afraid to speak.
"You don't need to be so careful." Xu Xin lowered his voice because of the atmosphere, "Just don't make too much noise."
He had experienced the effect of the Cloak of the Hider many times before. As long as he didn't move his body, it wouldn't be a problem to speak.
"Is that so?" Shi Wanyun's voice was slightly louder on the other end of the call, "Ah, those monsters didn't notice me. This cloak is really powerful."
Even when her voice rose a little, it still sounded very soft, as if that was her natural voice.
There are many monsters around, so I dare not act rashly...
Xu Xin's heart moved slightly.
She wouldn't be... in the underground world now, right
Surrounded by the underground biological world
"What's your situation now?" Xu Xin asked immediately, "Are you in the underground world now?"
As the first person to explore Zone 1, she must know about the underground world.
"Underground world?" Shi Wanyun's voice was slightly puzzled, and then she suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean the underground world where the gold treasure chest of the jungle exploration activity is located? Well... I'm not in that underground world. I'm very clear that I'm on the ground."
Um…
really.
If she was in the underground world, she should be out of touch with the outside world now.
"Xu Xin, I want to make a deal with you." The voice on the other end became slightly serious.
It's just... if it weren't for her identity, her soft, even weak voice would have given Xu Xin the first impression that she was a... weak woman.
“Hmm…?” Coco looked up at his watch, somewhat curious about who the owner of this voice was.
"You say." Xu Xin responded.
"I now know a way to leave this place, but I can't get through with my ability, so I want to rent a set of equipment from you... I will definitely return it to you when I leave here."
Her voice was still so gentle, but Xu Xin could still hear a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
After all, what she said was equivalent to getting something for nothing.
Who in their right mind would give away a set of equipment just because of a few words
Moreover, judging from her expression, she obviously wanted a set of purple-level equipment. After all, she already had blue-level equipment.
"Okay." Xu Xin said.
"... I know you don't trust me, but... eh?" The voice on the other end was slightly stunned, "You agree?"
"However, I want to know exactly what situation you are in and how you got into this situation." Xu Xin continued, "If you can make me believe it, I will lend you the equipment."
"This is very simple." The other party exhaled lightly and said directly, "Xu Xin, can we have a video call?"
"sure."
The other party immediately initiated a video call to him.
The video shows a woman wearing blue leather armor and a hidden cloak, sitting on an unknown plant.
The woman, or girl, looked to be in her early twenties, with a pretty face and droopy eyes, which made her look very friendly.
But there was obvious fatigue in her eyes, her hair was obviously a little messy, there was some dust on her face, and there was blood around her mouth that had not been wiped clean.
The ground around her was littered with armor that was already in a terrible state.
These armors have now completely turned into pieces of scrap metal.
However, because of the perspective, Xu Xin could not see the surrounding scenery, but just felt that it was very dark over there.
"Where are you?" he couldn't help but ask.
It’s so dark, isn’t this really the underworld
Shi Wanyun didn't say anything, but turned her arm to shift the perspective of the video.
As the perspective shifted, Xu Xin's vagina slowly shrank.
He felt like he was holding his breath.
A world he had never imagined slowly appeared before his eyes.
“This… This is…!”
He saw giant trees twisting towards the sky, with dense treetops blocking out the sun in the clouds!
I saw the blood-marked vines wrapped around the giant tree, still slowly wriggling!
I saw lights flickering on the treetops in the clouds, just like the tall buildings in the city, brightly lit!
I saw a pterosaur with a wingspan of over ten meters leaping down from the top of a giant tree!
I saw countless creatures with bloody markings crawling all over the ground!
He saw the sky behind Shi Wanyun.
He saw tiny dots of stars among the swirling clouds.
He finally knew why it was so dark over there.
It was not indeed the underworld there, but night.
He subconsciously looked out the window of the tree house.
It's still sunny outside now.
His teleportation array was now connected to another teleportation array, building another purple-black arch bridge.
Niu Fugui should have arrived by now. The timing is just right.
Two o'clock in the afternoon is the best time for sunlight.
But Shi Wanyun's current position...
He looked at the video again.
Shi Wanyun has pointed the camera at herself again.
"I am currently on the back side of our planet."
She spoke, her voice still soft, but with a hint of fear and powerlessness.
"This is the world of blood-marked creatures. I was sent here by them."
The... back side of the planet
What the hell?!
