"Shi Wanyun?" Li Wenxi also glanced over here, and then asked in surprise, "Did she just come back now?"
"It should be." Xu Xin answered the call directly.
"Hello?" Shi Wanyun's voice came from the other end of the line, "I'm already in the tree house."
Her voice sounded unusually tired and weak, which made people curious about what she had been through.
Xu Xin glanced at the time.
The time is stuck at ten o'clock in the morning.
She is basically stuck at the end of the time limit.
If it was a few minutes later, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back.
"You're really pushing yourself to the limit." Xu Xin sighed, then asked, "Are you... injured? Have you used up all the three pills I gave you?"
"Well, I used them all..." The other person's tone was filled with emotions he couldn't read, "But... I'm not injured now."
Li Wenxi sat nearby with a curious look on his face, but didn't say anything.
"... I'm sorry, I can't return those things to you, but I will compensate you." Shi Wanyun's voice was full of apology.
"What happened? Is it damaged?"
Xu Xin was not too surprised. After all, there were advanced mutant creatures everywhere, and a purple suit might not be able to last long.
Not to mention, she even ran up that giant tree.
“… No, but…” She hesitated, but finally said, “I left it over there.”
Not damaged, but left there
"What do you mean?" Xu Xin's eyes narrowed slightly.
But he knew that Shi Wanyun had climbed up the giant tree.
Could it be something happening on top of the giant tree
"Huh... Some things are hard to explain... I followed your advice and it was easy to get to the tree root, but then..."
As she was talking, she stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin asked immediately.
"Um, can you let me rest for a while..." Her voice sounded weaker and weaker, "I'm in a very bad mental state right now, and my mind is a mess... Can I tell you after I rest for a while..."
She even had a pleading tone in her voice.
Her tone really sounded very weak, as if she was about to collapse.
Haven't slept for forty-eight hours. Are you that weak
What exactly did she go through
He was extremely eager to know the other party's situation and experience, but considering the situation on the other side, it seemed that he was about to faint, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Her voice was naturally soft, and now it was very weak, giving people the feeling that she was about to die and was lying on the bed making her last words.
never mind.
This woman seems to be the type who is grateful and repays kindness. Otherwise, she could have just returned to the tree house and rested instead of contacting me first.
Even Li Wenxi, who was standing by, felt a little sympathetic after hearing this. He tugged at Xu Xin's sleeve, not wanting him to force it any further.
"Okay, you can take a rest first." Xu Xin said, "After you have rested, tell me about your experience. This is what you promised me, don't break your promise."
"Thank you, I won't..." the other party said with a little gratitude, "Then I..."
"Do you need saltpeter?" Xu Xin was a little worried when he saw that the other party was so weak.
She was so weak, and it was a scorching hot day. Moreover, the temperature would continue to rise until at least the afternoon. He was a little afraid that she would faint and then die from the heat while weak.
"... Saltpeter?" Shi Wanyun was a little slow to react.
"You must be feeling a little too hot now, right?" Xu Xin asked.
“…Hot? Ah, it’s a little hot…” the person on the other end exhaled.
This is too weak. Even my brain is not working well.
"Saltpeter can keep you cool." At this time, Li Wenxi said, "Your tree house also has a constant temperature function, so it can be kept very cool."
Li Wenxi's voice made the other party slightly suspicious, and then suddenly realized: "It's... Li Wenxi?"
"It's me." Li Wenxi leaned in Xu Xin's arms and said to his watch.
"Actually, I didn't... Well, thank you." Shi Wanyun said gratefully, "It is indeed... very hot."
Her weak tone always makes it feel like she is going to faint in the next second.
Li Wenxi took out a piece of blue-grade saltpeter and handed it to Xu Xin. Xu Xin handed it to her directly and told her how to use it.
"Thank you."
After thanking her again, she hung up the phone.
Then Li Wenxi couldn't help but ask, "Shi Wanyun...what happened?"
Xu Xin did not explain the matter of Shi Wanyun in detail to the other explorers. He just told them that he helped her, so Li Wenxi didn't know what was going on.
"It's like this..." Xu Xin began to explain to her what he knew.
Of course, what he knew was actually very little.
…
Far away from the two of them, there was a very lush purple-level tree house.
This tree house has five floors in total.
If Xu Xin saw it, he would be very surprised, because even his tree house only has four floors.
Of course, because of the banyan tree, the area of the first and second floors of Xu Xin's tree house is much larger. The area of each floor of this tree house is 100 square meters, which is the area of a normal purple-level tree house.
On the third floor of the tree house, on the bed in a bedroom, a woman was lying.
It was Shi Wanyun.
She didn't even take off her clothes, and was wearing a somewhat torn leather armor that looked a little dirty.
But she didn't care about it. She just lay on her back on the bed, her eyes half open, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Next to the bed, there is a basin of ice water, which is emitting refreshing coolness to the entire tree house, making the temperature of the entire tree house extremely comfortable.
"How can I explain..."
"You can't tell him about this, otherwise I will..."
"But he is the strongest survivor. Maybe by cooperating with him, I can escape..."
"what to do… "
"Forget it, let's go to sleep first, I can't hold on any longer..."
"I'll think about it after I wake up..."
The soft and subtle whispering became smaller and smaller, replaced by the faint and steady breathing sound.
The girl, her clothes dirty and torn, curled up on the bed in the five-story tree house, unconscious.
…
“Wow, this is too dangerous, isn’t it?” Li Wenxi was completely stunned. “High-level mutant creatures everywhere? This… this… this can actually survive! No wonder she is so weak!”
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
He had just told Li Wenxi what he knew about Shi Wanyun, and he also sorted it out himself.
Then I found many suspicious points.
First of all, her current state is really weird.
She is too weak.
Indeed, she hadn't slept for forty-eight hours. If she were an ordinary person, she might have been in this state.
But she is basically the strongest survivor in Area 1, and Xu Xin doesn't think that she doesn't have blue-level oranges, a fruit that can replace sleep.
She was not injured but was very depressed.
If it wasn't an act, Xu Xin could only think of one possibility.
Weak period.
What side effect of this medicine is this
The three pills he gave Shi Wanyun were magical medicines that had no side effects and would not cause weakness.
So, what else did she eat
Or maybe…
Xu Xin thought of Lou Feier and the others.
After the explosive state ends, Lou Feier and the others will enter a 24-hour period of weakness.
Before, when he asked Shi Wanyun about her abilities, she refused to answer.
What exactly are her abilities
Moreover, thinking about the fact that Shi Wanyun had climbed that giant tree, the giant tree was very likely related to the Blood Mark Clan.
What did she go through up there
Xu Xin shook his head.
The more I think about it, the more curious I become.
Let's wait until she wakes up and let her speak for herself.
I hope she doesn't lie.
"A tree house that blocks out the sun and the sky?" Li Wenxi asked with some longing, "Do you think our tree house could grow that big?"
"Who knows?" Xu Xin smiled, "Maybe that tree house is what the tree houses of the previous survivors look like after they have grown up?"
"Is this true?" Li Wenxi's eyes widened. "Is it impossible?"
"In this world, everything is possible." Xu Xin pinched her cheek and said.
Of course, he personally believed that the giant tree could not be the tree house of the previous survivors.
After all, the previous groups of survivors were all on their side, not on that hemisphere.
This can be seen from Changyin's experience. Changyin has experienced five generations of survivors.
So, it is almost certain that the giant tree is where the race that brought them here and gave them the seeds of the survivor tree house lives.
The blood pattern clan.
That must be them.
It's really weird.
Shi Wanyun, why were you taken there
Never mind. There's no point thinking about it now.
Let's wait until she wakes up.
Xu Xin glanced out the window.
It's impossible to go out in this temperature now.
He glanced at the World Channel.
Everyone already knows the function of the cattail leaf fan. Even though 100 points is very painful for them, they still buy it if they can.
Of course, there are also a large number of people who do not have enough points, or who have already used them up during the cold winter, and are now complaining.
Xu Xin couldn't help them, so he could only shrug and switch to the alliance channel.
In the alliance channel, the survivors in Area 188 and Area 1 were much more harmonious. Although they were cursing the horrible weather, they were not so desperate.
After all, they can all afford palm-leaf fans, so at least they can get by for now.
Moreover, they have all been reminded to store water, and they have sufficient water resources, unlike some people in the world channel who don’t even have drinking water.
In this hot weather, without any water to replenish, they probably won’t survive long.
Sure enough, after a group of people died of freezing, another group of people are about to die of heat.
It's really outrageous.
Li Wenxi felt it was boring to sit there and do nothing, so she went downstairs to play with her friends.
The moment she opened the door, Xu Xin could feel that it was very lively downstairs.
It was so lively that he wanted to go down and play with them.
However, he has other things to do now.
He entered the art room.
He wanted to finish withering the little bit of blue-level withering that was left from last time.
After completing this carving, the decoration level of his tree house will exceed 1000!
Maybe there will be new features!
Picking up the carving knife, he immediately immersed himself in it.
In just about ten minutes, the blue-level carving that was originally supposed to be completed was completed.
The tree house's original decoration level of 971 has now increased to 1031 points.
Breaking through 1000 points!
At this moment, a reminder sound came to his ears.
It was detected that the tree house decoration degree exceeded 1000 points, and the random amplification ability was strengthened.
As he expected, the random amplification ability was strengthened again!
He immediately clicked on the random amplification option to check.
In addition to the original introduction, there is one more this time.
In addition to the tree house owner, a random boost will be given to an additional survivor who has slept in the tree house for 3 hours. The survivor is designated by the tree house owner.
Good job!
His tree house can give random attributes to other people!
However, it seems that this extra survivor only gets one random amplification but cannot choose another one from the historical amplifications.
However, even so, he was quite satisfied.
Isn’t it Li Wenxi who can sleep for three full hours every day in his tree house
It can give her multiple random amplifications and multiple self-protection abilities, which is pretty good.
In a good mood, he picked up the carving knife again.
Time passed quickly, and gradually, the sun rose above our heads, and it was already noon.
At this time, the temperature outside has reached over fifty degrees!
Fortunately, even for a tree house that does not have the ability to maintain a constant temperature, the tree canopy itself provides a layer of insulation.
The temperature inside these people's tree houses is around 40 degrees, which is still tolerable.
Of course, it is much cooler in the tree houses of these explorers.
At this time, Lou Feier called and asked Xu Xin and others to come over for dinner.
She has already prepared the meal.
As for the food for those people below, it is the responsibility of the survivors on Wang Lei's side.
The survivors on Wang Lei's side are responsible for finding food and providing cooked food to all the survivors here during meal times.
Xu Xin had never eaten it. After all, their big pot meals could never compare to the feast prepared by Lou Feier.
After feeding Mimi, Yinwang and the others, Xu Xin took Li Wenxi and Coco down from the tree house.
As soon as I went out, I was almost baked to death.
The temperature difference between inside and outside the house is too big!
Temperature was secondary. After all, he had experienced high temperatures when climbing, but...
The sun is really too harsh!
The light shining on his body felt like it was being roasted. I'm afraid he would be cooked if this continued for too long!
Even those trees that were originally in the budding stage became bare again under the scorching sun!
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Li Wenxi pulled Xu Xin and ran wildly.
"Ah, it's still more comfortable inside!"
As soon as he entered Lou Feier's tree house, Li Wenxi cried out in comfort: "It's too hot outside! I can't stand it!"
"Hmm!" Coco instantly regained her energy.
Zeng Tao was also here, sitting at the table, holding a quiver in her hand, staring at the food on the table, and urged the two of them: "Hurry up and sit down!"
Jin Yue also sat next to her, not saying anything, just watching them quietly.
Lou Feier put the last dish on the table: "Is it so hot? Next time, I'll cook over there. We don't feel how hot it is."
"Indeed, you are not very good." Zeng Tao raised his head.
"Then you go over next time." Xu Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
"Yes, yes, you can come to our place. I don't have anything to do recently anyway, and I will cook for you too!" Li Wenxi said as he sat down.
Several people enjoyed lunch.
"Ah... I'm full... By the way, why hasn't Qin Fu come back yet?" Zeng Tao lay on the chair, touching her belly, and mentioned Qin Fu.
"Then he must be involved in some activity, right?" Lou Feier, who was experienced in this, guessed immediately.
A map appeared in Xu Xin's mind, showing Qin Fu's location...
Still in the hilly resource area.
However, he was no longer almost in the middle, but close to the edge, close to the hill.
It can still move, and seems to be alive and well.
He also has a mutant physique and won't be affected too much by the heat, so there's no need to worry too much.
Originally Xu Xin wanted to go over and take a look, but now forget it.
He couldn't even walk a few dozen meters!
He'd better just wish him good luck.
"Don't just lie there, go wash the dishes!" Lou Fei'er slapped Zeng Tao on the head, "Who said that I won't eat for free and I have to wash the dishes?"
"Don't pat my head! Humph, just go ahead!"
"Me too." Jin Yue stood up.
"What are you going to do? Let her wash it herself!"
"If someone wants to wash, it's none of your business!"
The two women started quarreling again.
Li Wenxi ran over to "stop the fight".
Xu Xin sat for a while, picked up Coco, who had begun to doze off after dinner, and prepared to go back.
"Let's go back..."
At this moment, Coco suddenly woke up: "Hmm?"
It jumped out of Xu Xin's arms, jumped onto the windowsill in two leaps, and looked out.
Then he tilted his head: "... 嘤?"
What happened again
Xu Xin looked out the window and didn't find anything unusual.
At this moment, the noisy laughter behind me suddenly stopped.
"... Did you feel it?" Lou Feier's voice became solemn.
"Yeah." Jin Yue nodded.
"Is this... the feeling of fear?" Zeng Tao shuddered slightly, then frowned, "Why would I be afraid? What's coming?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Wenxi was confused.
"There is danger! There is danger in that direction!" Lou Feier ran to the window and pointed in the direction of the hilly resource area.
At this time, Xu Xin was also tightening up like Tong Kongmeng.
At this time, on the map, the light spot representing Qin Fu was moving quickly towards his tree house.
He came out.
But he wasn't the only one out.
At the edge of the hilly resource area, a huge red dot is flashing at this moment!
A red dot that is no weaker than the giant anaconda in the center of the lake before it was enhanced!
Several people looked in that direction.
“Oh my god!”
"What is that?!"
"Giant...Giant?!"
Several women exclaimed in surprise.
That’s right, they could see that three kilometers away, there was a giant holding a mace-like weapon!
The giant was very tall, with his knees and above above the bare jungle, and he rushed towards their tree house madly!
Under its feet, the trees were directly broken and flattened, and were smashed everywhere by the mace!
He looked like a madman running through the bushes!
Beside him, Li Wenxi held his arm tightly.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Coco jumped onto Xu Xin's shoulder and screamed, pushing his face with her little paws frantically.
Xu Xin's face looked extremely ugly.
Because he knew that this giant who looked familiar to him was not coming for his tree house.
But he was chasing Qin Fu!
What on earth is this guy doing!
Lead the giant to the tree house?!
Are you crazy!
