"Do you know what happened to people in other areas?" Xu Xin was a little surprised, but it was indeed reasonable.
If this woman is indeed controlled by those alien invaders, then it is normal for her to keep in touch with them as a person over there.
but…
A map appeared in Xu Xin's mind.
The location where Shi Wanyun was still a green light spot, symbolizing that she was now considered one of their own.
…What is happening
Could it be that even maps can’t be trusted
"Of course I know. I am different from the other people in Area 1. Their voices have not been cut off in my ears." Shi Wanyun covered her lower abdomen, sat up from the bed, then glanced at Lou Feier and said softly, "You are quite strong."
There was no resentment or anger in her tone, but it was still gentle.
"I don't know how strong you are. If I'm weak, I'll just be tickling you."
Although Lou Feier had just been pressing on Shi Wanyun and waving her fists, she now looked smiling, as if she had not done what she had just done.
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Xin said coldly, "It seems that you know a lot, tell us everything you know. Mimi, keep an eye on her."
Mimi has eaten troll meat several times during this period, and is now close to the level of advanced mutation. In addition, it is the fastest and most agile animal on earth. Now its explosive speed has probably reached an extremely terrifying level.
Xu Xin felt relieved to have it looking after Shi Wanyun.
"… I didn't know much before." Shi Wanyun pursed her lips and said, "I'm just a nobody controlled by them. After I left there, I only received their information once, and it came to you. I know something about the siege of the World Tree, only because that mysterious voice didn't block it from me."
"I will tell you everything I know about this matter. Please don't force me to tell you more. I don't know anything either."
As she said this, she glanced at Lou Feier.
It looked like Lou Feier's three punches really had an effect on her, causing her to remind the two men not to force her before she even said anything.
"Go ahead."
“… That’s right.”
Shi Wanyun recounted the complete words of the mysterious voice.
Dear survivors not from Area 188, now is the time for you to resist.
A survivor in Area 188 obtained and planted a special tree house seed. This tree house seed will grow into a towering tree called "World Tree" that can block out the sky and the sun.
Since it is called the World Tree, it naturally has very powerful functions. Once it grows up, it will greatly increase the survival probability of the survivors in Area 188.
But the tree's growth came at a price.
The growth of the World Tree requires nutrients from the earth, but the nutrients in a piece of land are limited. If the nutrients are supplied to the growing World Tree, the growth of other tree houses will not be guaranteed.
The tree houses around the World Tree will gradually die as the World Tree grows, even Area 188 itself is no exception.
Once the World Tree has fully grown and matured, the tree houses in all areas will completely wither and die, and if you lose your tree houses, you will completely lose the possibility of survival.
As a survivor of Area 188, you can find a way to survive by going to the World Tree, but your location is far away. If you let the World Tree continue to grow, the only possibility for you is death.
In order to keep this survival going, we decided to provide all possible help to all survivors except Area 188 and its allied Area 1.
From now on, limited resources will be available in the points mall for survivors other than area 188 for a limited time, and all survivors can go and purchase them immediately.
During the World Tree siege phase, you will not be attacked by wild beasts, and you can use items purchased in the Points Mall to exercise a certain degree of control over the blood-marked mutant beasts.
Please explore other functions by yourself. The siege of the world tree begins now. Use your wisdom and means to stop the young world tree from invading the world's soil!
"… That's what the mysterious voice said." Shi Wanyun repeated the words of the mysterious voice, and then said, "Every word I said is true. If you don't believe it, then I can't help it."
Is it true
"Do you remember it so clearly?" Lou Fei'er looked at her suspiciously, "Can you repeat it word for word?"
"… I can't say it word for word, but that's roughly what I meant." Shi Wanyun glanced at Lou Fei'er, with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
Xu Xin chose to believe her temporarily.
He began to think.
What Shi Wanyun said was basically consistent with his previous guess.
Those alien invaders really began to provide help to the survivors in other areas.
This is understandable.
If this were not the case, it would be basically impossible for survivors from other areas to pose any substantial threat to them.
But with their help, now, in addition to the beast tide, Xu Xin and his team must be extra alert to guard against the survivors from other areas who may use unknown methods to attack.
but…
That mysterious voice is really capable of talking nonsense.
This world tree will never let the surrounding tree houses die.
Not only will they not die, but they will also be protected and even given the option to be transplanted, giving them the chance to be transplanted around the World Tree.
But there was no way, the other survivors didn't know about this, and now the world channel was disconnected, so he couldn't tell the other survivors about the current situation.
This mysterious voice wants to let this misunderstanding continue to this day.
"So, even if what you said is true, then... those people from the outside area still can't seem to affect us, right?" Lou Feier put forward her own idea, "They are in other distant areas. Even if they can control blood-marked creatures like those furry monsters as you said, what impact will it have on us?"
"Unless... Unless they can teleport here like you?" Lou Feier tapped her lips with her finger and shook her head, "This is not right..."
Xu Xin was also a little confused about this.
Judging from what Shi Wanyun said, those people should not be teleported here.
The mysterious voice also said that the survivors in Area 188, who were closer, could go directly to the World Tree.
In other words, according to them, even if the tree houses wither, other survivors can still survive by relying on the World Tree.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, since they all said so, if they send survivors from other areas here...
Who would work for them
I'm afraid most people would be overjoyed and run directly to join the explorers.
It's simply charity.
Therefore, survivors from other areas should not be teleported here like Shi Wanyun.
This was a little different from what he had imagined. He had thought that the survivors from other areas might be sent here, threatened, and then controlled by the beasts to attack them like the furry monsters.
But now it seems... that's not the case.
What methods are they going to use to deal with this side
If you want to know this, you must first figure out what is sold in their points mall.
certainly…
The premise of all this is that what Shi Wanyun said is true.
He looked at Shi Wanyun.
"I don't know either. In fact, I have thought about this matter, but I can't figure out the reason." Shi Wanyun shook her head.
At this time, she had returned to normal and no longer rubbed her belly with her hands. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed.
She looked at Xu Xin: "That's all I know. As for what's in their points mall, I don't know either, because my points mall is also closed. If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself."
She took off her watch.
Xu Xin took it immediately and slid it open.
Sure enough, she no longer had the option of the Points Mall and could not open it.
Xu Xin swiped a few more times and didn't see any special options in her options.
Shi Wanyun did not stop him, but just watched him silently.
"What exactly is your special ability?"
"… I can't tell you. But if you can give me the genetic medicine, I can tell you everything you want to know."
"Oh."
The examination showed no abnormalities, but Xu Xin did not return the watch to Shi Wanyun. Instead, he put it into his bracelet.
A wristband is safer than a backpack.
"You..." Shi Wanyun's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"To prevent you from escaping, leave this watch with me." Xu Xin glanced at the ground. The bloodstain had disappeared. "When I truly trust you and inject you with the gene drug as you wish, I will return this to you."
"... I shouldn't have given you the watch." Although Shi Wanyun was extremely reluctant, she had no choice.
Losing her watch meant losing the ability to connect with people anywhere, anytime, and if she didn’t go back to her tree house, she would have to talk to people in person.
But if she returned to her tree house, she might not be able to get her watch back. Moreover, Xu Xin could use her watch to check her communication with other people at any time, and even pretend to be her to communicate with others.
"Even if you don't give it to me, I'm planning to confiscate your communication tools." Xu Xin said with a smile, "So, are you sure that what you just said is true and you won't change it?"
"I'm sure." Shi Wanyun looked at him with some annoyance, feeling angry but having no place to vent.
She is now truly bound in every way.
This is really a complete departure from the previous plan.
However, if Xu Xin can really survive this disaster...
Shi Wanyun looked at the man in front of her who was thinking.
Maybe this man can really save everyone
At this moment, a voice came into her ears again, a voice that only she could hear among the people present.
It was that mysterious voice that gave her instructions.
Her expression did not change, but her eyelids drooped slightly.
In the end, how to choose
…
After asking Shi Wanyun some more questions but getting no results, Xu Xin asked Shi Wanyun to destroy the teleportation array on the ground of the tree house in front of him and kept Mimi.
"Help me keep an eye on this woman and don't let her leave here."
This was not the first time Mimi had helped him do this, so it was very skilled at it. It lay down on the edge of the bed, yawned, and pretended to be taking a nap.
When Lou Feier saw Mimi's appearance, she remembered that she was first captured and was also monitored by Mimi in this way. She looked at Shi Wanyun with some gloating, then followed Xu Xin out of the tree house.
Only Shi Wanyun was left sitting on the bed.
"… took my watch away and locked me up here…"
No matter how good-tempered Shi Wanyun was, she couldn't stand it anymore. But she didn't know where to vent her anger. She could only sigh and wanted to get off the bed. However, Mimi's claw pushed her back onto the bed.
"... Such a fast speed." Shi Wanyun lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, "Are all the animals around Xu Xin so strong..."
…
Using the Explorer group, Xu Xin informed the Explorer members of the information he learned from Shi Wanyun.
Wang Lei: "Huh? These alien invaders are really good at talking nonsense!"
Wen Guixin: "There is special help? I can't bear it."
Ji Chaoyang: "In short, let's move faster and try to transplant all the tree houses before any problems arise."
oh
Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
Has the transplantation of the tree house begun
After learning more about it, I realized that transplanting a tree house is not an easy task.
The current tree house has undergone some subtle changes overall due to the influence of the roots of the world tree sapling.
As long as the tree house is within the influence range of the world tree seedling's roots, it can be dug out like an ordinary tree, and the whole plant can be obtained and then moved and planted.
A tree house that still has a tree house core will not become a parasitic tree house, and it can be carried for a very long time. It only needs to be transplanted within seven days to be 100% alive.
Even a parasitic tree house without a tree house core, which originally could not be transplanted a second time, now has the opportunity to be transplanted.
However, after these parasitic tree houses are dug out, their survival time will be greatly shortened compared to normal tree houses, directly shortened to two hours. In other words, the transplantation needs to be completed within two hours, otherwise the parasitic tree house will die due to the loss of energy source.
However, this is not a problem for Xu Xin and others.
They are so close.
"Then, the current range of influence of this young world tree is..." Xu Xin asked.
"The scope is very large. At least, Wen Guixin and her friends' tree houses have also been affected. The description of their tree houses has changed and can be used continuously. I feel that the scope of influence of the World Tree now covers at least the entire 188th District."
this… !
Xu Xin looked towards the center of Crystal City.
The tree he had just planted was now taller than all the surrounding trees and even buildings. From his point of view, the height was at least... sixty or seventy meters!
That is about the height of a twenty-story building!
Coupled with the fact that its horizontal development is just as dense as its height, the young World Tree at this point can even be called a towering giant tree!
Of course, it is still far inferior to the tree in Shi Wanyun's image.
But even so, this world tree can actually affect Wen Guixin and Wang Lei who are so far away!
According to its introduction, the range of influence of the World Tree is the range of its roots. In other words, during this period of time, the roots of this World Tree have grown so far? !
This is outrageous...
But that’s just right!
"I have sent all the other survivors, including those on your side, to the Crystal City. They can't help much. The task of transporting the transplanted items is given to Wang Lei. Although the purple-level backpack can reduce the weight of the tree house to one-fifteenth, it is still too heavy for a normal person." Ji Chaoyang said.
"Okay, I'll call Zeng Tao over as well, and with my bracelet, I'll try to speed up the transplant."
Xu Xin immediately contacted Zeng Tao and asked her to come back immediately. At the same time, he asked Lou Feier to take over Zeng Tao's position and let her and Jin Yue guard the World Tree there.
After all, no one knows what methods those people will use, so it is better to have two people guarding the World Tree.
"Are we really going to start transplanting the tree houses? We are all going to move into the Crystal City together!" Zeng Tao, who rushed over, seemed very excited.
"Okay, let's start the transplant. We don't know when the danger will come. We need to finish it as soon as possible."
"Oh, okay!"
Xu Xin came to his tree house and looked around.
The pond and canal he dug, the surrounding electric fence, the bushes that withered in the scorching heat, and the caves of three pangolins.
None of these are important and can be abandoned or migrated directly.
By the way, what about the egg that was hatched in the pangolin cave? He hadn't visited it yet.
Has it hatched
etc…
Is there something missing...
That’s right!
Xu Xin immediately looked around, searching for the little figure again.
What about Coco
Where has this little guy gone again
Has it been disappearing too frequently recently
