As soon as she returned to the tree house, Li Wenxi ran to take a shower because she was really sweating there.
Xu Xin immediately contacted Lou Feier.
After about ten seconds, the other end finally answered the phone: "… Hello? Xu Xin? What's going on?"
Her voice was clearly still grumpy and a little lazy.
"You haven't gotten up yet?"
"Well... Zeng Tao and I stayed up very late last night, and I've only slept for four hours..." As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was about to fall asleep.
It's okay to stay up late.
"Okay, stop sleeping and wake up." Xu Xin woke her up mercilessly. "Eat a blue-level orange to slow down. You're not feeling well right now."
"Well... okay..." Although Lou Feier agreed, her head was still pressed against the pillow and she closed her eyes, making her voice sound like she had already gotten up. "What happened?"
“… I’ll go over there now. Remember, don’t look at the sun outside, and don’t go out.”
"well?"
Xu Xin hung up the call directly and contacted Ma Hongwei at the same time.
"What's wrong, Brother Xin?"
There was no problem with Ma Hongwei. Judging from his tone, he must have gotten up a long time ago.
"Are you okay this morning?" Xu Xin asked directly.
"What? What could possibly happen to me?" Ma Hongwei was a little confused. "I just finished breakfast and was about to continue my research."
"...?" Xu Xin was a little surprised, and briefly informed him of the current situation.
"Ah? This..."
Ma Hongwei was very surprised when he learned about the current condition of Yangguang.
He didn't have the habit of looking out the window after getting up, and the curtains of his tree house were drawn, so he didn't know how bright the sun was outside.
"Curtains?" Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
"The new resource that appeared in the points mall last night is called a sunshade curtain. It doesn't seem to be of much use, and it also blocks the view outside the tree house. But I personally don't like too bright sunlight, and there is also a control panel that can observe the surroundings of the tree house, so I installed it in my tree house."
… So this kind of thing appeared in the points mall yesterday!
“They’re called sunshade curtains, but they don’t actually have much ability to block out the sun. They just make the tree house less bright,” Ma Hongwei explained.
How can you say this has no sun-shading ability? It is simply a magic weapon nowadays!
At least, it can ensure that no one in the tree house will be harmed.
He was still a little worried about what to do when sunlight shines into the house through the window, but it turned out that the solution had already been provided in the mall.
The price is not expensive either, a sunshade curtain for a window only costs 50 points.
It’s quite a good deal.
It seems that his tree house also needs to be fully installed.
"Okay, I get it. Oh yeah!"
Xu Xin suddenly thought that Ma Hongwei’s tree house did not have the ability to maintain a constant temperature!
It’s just that he personally is not afraid of high temperatures, so he chose to live in his own tree house.
"Did anything happen to you last night?"
"Last night? Um... probably not, right?" Ma Hongwei's voice was a little hesitant.
"should?"
"Well... If there's something strange, it's that when I got up in the morning, the whole bed was soaked with my sweat." Ma Hongwei's voice was slightly puzzled. "Logically speaking, a temperature of around 40 degrees is nothing to me. I shouldn't have this kind of situation."
As a very cautious person, he was very concerned about this seemingly insignificant but somewhat strange phenomenon.
"But maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe it's because of the meat you gave me yesterday, Brother Xin. Since it can make me stronger, it's normal for my metabolism to be faster."
He did explain his abnormality.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is another piece of evidence.
The conditions of Li Yajun and Ma Hongwei both point to the special situation of abnormally high temperatures that occurred last night.
It seems that he has not escaped.
"I understand. Just continue doing your thing. Don't go to see the sun out of curiosity. If you want to go out, remember to wrap yourself up tightly."
"Okay, Brother Xin."
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin saw Li Wenxi wiping her hair with a towel and walking out of the bathroom.
"I'll go to Lou Fei'er and tell her about their current situation."
"Oh, then... go by yourself." Li Wenxi pointed downstairs, "I'll go downstairs to see how they are doing."
Her people are now living downstairs, so naturally she has to go and take a look.
"good."
Just as Xu Xin was about to leave, Ke Ke suddenly ran over and climbed onto his shoulders, "Ying!"
"Coco, just stay in the tree house. You can't stand the sunshine outside." Xu Xin grabbed Coco by the scruff of the neck and threw it onto the sofa.
"Bing! Bing!" Coco stood on the sofa and cried twice in dissatisfaction, then patted her chest with her little paws, "Bing!"
It was telling Xu Xin that the sunlight outside could not cause any harm to it.
"Oh?" Xu Xin looked at Coco.
It seems so.
It has brown and white fur.
Unlike humans, whose skin is exposed to direct sunlight, Coco's fur should indeed be able to protect it from the sun's harm.
"Oh well."
Xu Xin wrapped himself tightly, then took Coco and swung out of the tree house.
As soon as it came under the sunlight, Coco's little head turned away and didn't look in the direction of the sun.
However, the sunlight shining on its small body did not cause any harm to it.
The fluff can protect it from getting hurt.
If that's the case...
What about those furry monsters and mutant creatures
Is it... it won't get hurt
It seems that we still need to be vigilant about this crisis.
The current sunlight seems unable to stop the enemy's invasion.
Xu Xin came to Lou Feier's tree house and directly controlled the roots to enter it.
At this time, Lou Feier and Zeng Tao were already playing on the sofa.
Lou Feier was pressing Zeng Tao, who was still in a weak state, on the sofa and tickling her.
"Little girl, I'll let you keep talking nonsense to me!"
“Ahahahaha… Ouch, stop…! Hahaha, stop it!” Zeng Tao grabbed Lou Feier’s face with her small hands, but it was useless because she had no strength. “I… I was wrong, isn’t that enough? Stop… stop scratching me!
”
Then the two women saw Xu Xin coming in at the same time, and Lou Feier immediately sat up and straightened her body.
Zeng Tao collapsed on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling: "Wuwuwu..."
Both women were in disheveled clothes.
"Hmm?" Coco jumped to her side, looked at her with her little head tilted, and was picked up by her and held in her arms and rubbed wildly.
"Hmm?"
Looking at their appearance, they are still full of energy. They must have listened to what Xu Xin said just now and did not look out the window.
Zeng Tao's weakness will probably last until the afternoon. Now she is just an ordinary little girl, but Lou Feier and Jin Yue have not lost any strength.
The two of them are still the main force going out during the day.
Xu Xin informed the two women of their current situation.
"No wonder you didn't let us look outside!" Zeng Tao had regained her energy, a little surprised, and eager to try, "I want to go out and take a look!"
"Forget it. Let's talk about it after you recover." Xu Xin rejected it immediately.
"Yes, even if I have to go out, I will be the one to go out." Lou Feier knew the current situation, and immediately walked to the side that was not lit, looked out the window, and then exclaimed, "Ah! The jungle is growing lush again!"
"What?" Zeng Tao also stood up, holding Keke and ran to the window to look out, "Really!"
The jungle was restored last night. The two had just gotten up, and Xu Xin had not allowed them to look outside, so they only noticed the changes in the jungle now.
Strangely enough, the trees in the jungle, under such strong sunlight, did not wither like the tender buds yesterday, but grew even stronger.
Even the color is changing from light green to dark green.
"That's why I came to see you," Xu Xin said. "Now, the jungle has grown lush again, and trouble has come with it. We can no longer directly observe the surrounding situation from the tree house."
The tree canopy is too dense and one leaf after another, completely blocking the view under the canopy.
Xu Xin could no longer see what was in the bushes.
Even if there are some furry monsters or mutant creatures hiding in the jungle now, he has no idea.
So, someone needs to patrol around.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue are good candidates.
Moreover, in today’s lush jungle, there is no need to worry about direct sunlight or accidentally seeing the sunlight, because the jungle canopy is completely blocked in the shadows.
This is a relatively easy task.
As for Ma Hongwei, let him continue to study the heavy crossbow.
"I understand!" Lou Feier said that she understood.
Then she ran to the light-facing side and stretched out her hand into the sunlight.
"What are you doing?" Xu Xin was surprised.
"I just want to see the sunshine... ah!"
Lou Feier cried out in pain and pulled her hand back.
The back of her hand also turned red.
"The sun is so strong!" she said in disbelief.
"… Didn't I tell you everything?" Xu Xin rolled his eyes.
“I’ll try it too!”
"ah!"
Zeng Tao's reaction was as expected, she rubbed her hands and began to whimper again.
After losing her power, even her personality underwent subtle changes.
Xu Xin shook his head: "So you two just had to do it."
"If I don't give it a try, how can I know how long I can last in the sun?" Lou Feier was still rubbing the back of her hand. "In case of any emergency, it will be better to have a rough idea in mind."
She is right.
but…
She had just tried to be exposed to direct sunlight for a much longer time than Li Wenxi had tried this morning.
Li Wenxi took it back in two seconds at most. She had persisted for at least five or six seconds.
Xu Xin walked up and took her hand.
“What…what?”
The red color on the back of Lou Feier's hand was not even as red as the back of Li Wenxi's hand.
It seems that her body has mutated, and even if her skin is exposed, her resistance to direct sunlight is greatly increased.
Xu Xin looked at Zeng Tao, who understood what he meant and immediately stretched out her hand: "Look, I'm also sunburned."
Although Zeng Tao has lost his strength now, his body's ability to withstand temperature has not changed, so his injuries are similar to Lou Feier's.
The mutated creatures are really much more resistant to sunlight.
This is not good news.
Never mind, things will work out when the time comes.
"This is your mission today, get ready."
Xu Xin came down from Lou Feier's tree house and turned around to come under Jin Yue's tree house.
Jin Yue had known that Xu Xin was next door, and when she saw him coming under her tree house, she immediately pulled him up.
She was wearing a short-sleeved casual outfit at the time, and her long legs were really eye-catching.
But Xu Xin knew that her legs were not just beautiful, all her current abilities were based on these legs.
The force of these kicking legs was so strong that even he might not be able to withstand it.
Xu Xin told her the current situation and she agreed immediately.
"I would have done it even if you didn't tell me," she whispered.
Xu Xin told her to be careful and left her tree house.
"Coco, is there any danger in the jungle now?" Xu Xin asked Coco.
"Hmm..."
Coco shook her little head, indicating that she couldn't feel anything.
Xu Xin nodded.
There is nothing to do during the day today.
It would be better for him not to stray far from the tree house now.
He originally wanted to go to the lake where the water level had dropped by 40 to 50 meters to dig for copper today, but the current situation...
That's fine, as long as it's on the side without sunlight, right
Of course, the temperature outside is not something that ordinary people can bear. Even if the temperature near the water surface is a few degrees lower, it is impossible to work for a long time.
Except one person.
In other words, a tool.
Yan Haiming.
Number one.
It has been in his bracelet for several days, and Xu Xin almost forgot about it!
It should be able to play this role.
Especially his abilities!
Double the tool efficiency!
He is really good at mining!
It should have been handed over to Li Wenxi before, allowing it to shine in mining.
The main reason was that this guy was too disgusting when he was alive. Even after he died, he really wanted this thing to get close to Li Wenxi.
This time, let it shine in the center of the lake.
It is also the one that Xu Xin is least worried about having problems with, because it doesn't matter if it has problems.
Back in the tree house, Xu Xin asked Li Wenxi for a set of tools.
"Purple-grade steel pickaxe?" Xu Xin was slightly surprised.
He didn't even know that their production tools had become so advanced.
"Of course, production tools are what need to be upgraded first," Li Wenxi said proudly, "This pickaxe is very powerful!"
It is indeed powerful, with a certain chance of triggering eight times the resource explosion rate, which is indeed a good thing.
Number One immediately left with his tools and backpack.
Seeing Li Wenxi looking outside, Xu Xin thought she wanted to follow him, so she said, "Don't go. The sunlight and temperature outside right now are not suitable for a normal person to go out."
"I don't want to go out. It's so hot!" Li Wenxi waved his hand. "I'm just checking the distance. Your lake is very close to here. At such a close distance, I should be able to affect its mining in the tree house."
oh
In other words, if No. 1 mines copper, he can also enjoy a certain probability of a hundredfold explosion rate
This is really good!
but…
The copper mine is on the edge of a cliff, and if the explosion rate is 100 times...
I'm afraid that at the moment of the explosion, most of the copper ore will fall into the lake.
Never mind, it’s better than nothing. It can still catch a few after all.
Xu Xin contacted Ji Chaoyang again and asked about the situation there.
What surprised him was that Ji Chaoyang once injured his eyes.
However, this time, he did it on purpose.
He wanted to use himself as an experiment to see how long it would take for a normal person to recover after an eye injury.
"Half an hour has passed now, and my vision is much clearer than it was at the beginning." Ji Chaoyang said, "As long as I don't look directly at the sun for too long, but only for a moment, with my current recovery speed, I should be able to see things clearly in half a day. Although I can't recover completely, I can still see things."
"Of course, if you don't take proper care, your vision will deteriorate. But it's better than going blind."
He was being cruel to himself.
Is it because Qi Xuefei is by his side that he is confident that he can recover
However, after hearing what he said, Xu Xin felt much more relieved.
It would only take half a day to recover to normal vision, so at least the other survivors shouldn't have any serious problems.
Unless they want to die, they will stare at the sun and blind themselves.
After hanging up the phone, he walked around the first and second floors.
Although these people were very confused when they just got up, they are now much calmer. After all, those who were injured have recovered.
Xu Xin bought curtains from the points mall and installed them on their windows one by one.
In this way, the tree house is much safer, at least no one will be accidentally injured by the sunlight.
Then, a peaceful day began.
Zeng Tao was too bored staying in the tree house alone, so she came over wrapped in clothes, and went downstairs with Li Wenxi to play with everyone.
Except for eating, Xu Xin stayed in the art room and carved until the sun went down.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue were originally on patrol together, but later they found that nothing was happening, so they took turns patrolling.
Lou Feier would run over to tease Zeng Tao from time to time, but later she failed. Zeng Tao, who had recovered his strength, pretended to be weak and suddenly attacked her and pinned her to the ground, returning to her everything she had done to Zeng Tao before.
That scream made Xu Xin on the third floor feel that she was a little miserable.
After sleeping for a day and a night, Qin Fu finally woke up.
He told Xu Xin his experience again, but there was actually nothing more noteworthy.
All they could do was be careful and guard against possible attacks from the trolls.
However, Xu Xin felt that the troll might not be able to come, at least not during the day.
After all, it is similar to humans, with its skin exposed, and it may not be able to withstand the strong sunlight.
Number One also came back again and again, bringing back a lot of green and blue grade copper ores, but unfortunately there were no purple grade ones.
But it doesn’t matter, after all, the ore can be upgraded with the tree house core.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was eight o'clock in the evening.
At this time, the sun finally set below the horizon and the sky became completely dark.
Xu Xin put down the carving knife in his hand and rubbed Coco's little head who was lying on his lap.
Today’s highlight is about to arrive.
