"If you want to take action, you must be careful." Xu Xin looked at the herd of beasts outside.
There are a large number of mutant creatures outside the city. At first glance, it still looks like a huge crowd. The jungle is crowded with all kinds of animals, and it is impossible to tell how many there are just by looking at them.
But Xu Xin had a map in his mind.
Now, the number of mutated creatures surrounding Crystal City is truly too terrifying. The number of wild beasts in any previous beast tide was less than one-tenth of this time.
Not to mention that all these creatures gathered around the Crystal City, densely surrounding it.
If what Lou Feier said before is true, one tenth of them are intermediate mutant creatures...
Among the beasts that surrounded Crystal City this time, the number of intermediate mutant creatures alone was comparable to the total number of wild beasts in the previous beast tides!
Under the current circumstances, even if Xu Xin wants to go out, he will definitely die if he doesn't come back.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
If it weren't for the Crystal City, with their current resources, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long under the attack of this group of mutant creatures. Not only would they be unable to protect the World Tree, but they would even lose their own lives.
It seems that this time the alien invaders are determined to destroy this world tree that has not yet grown up and kill them.
However, this made him look forward to the growth of this world tree even more.
"Not to mention those low-level mutant creatures, there are a lot of intermediate-level mutant creatures outside. I think it's better for you not to go out." Jin Yue said and explained the current situation to Wen Guixin.
“I see.”
After hearing this, Wen Guixin was not surprised or afraid at all.
She said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this. Don't forget, in addition to my mental toxins, my own strength is also top-notch. Even if there are any problems, I will have no problem breaking through the siege and running back to this Crystal City."
That's true.
She now has purple-level equipment, purple-level weapons, and medicine provided by Qi Xuefei. As long as she is not directly fatally injured, it will not be a big problem.
"But I'm not going to make a move right now." Wen Guixin folded her arms across her chest and leaned against the outer wall of the crystal building. "I'm waiting for news from Zhao Xiaochuan."
Zhao Xiaochuan... has also come to the outskirts of Crystal City like me.
"He should have sneaked into the herd by now. He said he wanted to try to find the person who controlled these mutant creatures to besiege us." Wen Guixin looked at her watch and curled her lips. "What's the point of finding him? Should I appeal to his emotions or reason with him? Just let me kill them together."
Xu Xin was not surprised. He had already guessed that Zhao Xiaochuan would do this. "Then let's wait. At least we can rely on him to find out the truth of this event and see if it is as Shi Wanyun said."
Are the people who control these mutated creatures survivors from other areas? If so, what kind of threat did they face that made them do this
To be honest, Xu Xin didn't want to directly become enemies with other regions. After all, they were all human beings. Their enemies should be alien invaders. If a regional conflict really started directly, they in Region 188 would start to massacre people from other regions...
Wouldn't that be equivalent to falling into the trap of those alien invaders and starting a civil war
If possible, cooperation is the best way.
"Then I'll go in and have some fun with these guys!" Lou Feier turned her head and looked inside the house. "This big cat is so cute. It looks like Mimi!"
As she said that, she walked in, sat in front of the leopard, and talked to it on her own.
Xu Xin also took a look inside.
Of course Leopard and Mimi look alike.
From the surface, a cheetah is actually a smaller and slimmer leopard. If a leopard and a cheetah stand together, some people might even mistake them for a mother leopard with her cubs.
At this time, the size of this leopard is basically similar to Mimi, but because Mimi is originally a size smaller than it, in terms of behemoth and mutation level, Mimi is much taller.
Judging from their size, the two animals might be equally matched in a head-on confrontation, and Mimi might even lose. But if we compare agility and speed, Mimi is likely to far surpass the leopard in front of it.
If this were an actual fight, the leopard would probably have its throat cut by Mimi's sharp claws before it could even move its claws.
Not to mention that Mimi's promotion to a high-level level will probably only take two days, and the bloodline of the giant beast is also becoming stronger and stronger under the influence of the Crystal City.
Just as he had just imagined, letting Mimi be responsible for controlling these wild beasts outside should be the most appropriate choice.
"Zhao Xiaochuan is so slow..." Wen Guixin counted on her fingers in boredom.
Jin Yue stood beside Xu Xin, observing the situation of the mutated creatures outside.
"Xu Xin, don't you know our location? Help me check Zhao Xiaochuan's location. Is he still in the herd?" Wen Guixin asked Xu Xin, getting a little impatient.
Xu Xin shook his head: "I can't see your position... huh?"
He was slightly stunned.
Just now, his attention was all on the countless red dots densely surrounding the Crystal City, and he didn't pay much attention to the green dots representing his own people.
Now looking carefully, Lou Feier beside him was actually a green dot on the map.
It's not just her. Now within the Crystal City, the number of green dots far exceeds the number of green dots he has seen before.
Obviously, all the survivors transplanted into Crystal City have now been regarded as companions by default.
…Is it because of the World Tree
Or is it because of this crystal city
Anyway, this incident made Xu Xin somewhat happy.
He had always wanted to connect everyone together through the parasitic tree house and become real partners, and now he had realized it in this way.
"Can't you see it?"
"No, I can see it." Xu Xin immediately began to look for Zhao Xiaochuan's green dot.
Although I don't know which one is Zhao Xiaochuan, as long as I find the green light outside the Crystal City...
Found it!
At this time, in the north of Crystal City, there was a green light spot among the red light spots. It was a green spot in the red and very conspicuous. Xu Xin saw it almost immediately.
This green light spot was moving at a moderate speed among the group of red light spots, heading towards the Crystal City.
He has completed his exploration and plans to return to Crystal City.
"Don't worry, he will be back soon... Hmm?" Xu Xin frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Wen Guixin and Jin Yue both looked at him.
On the map, there is actually a green light spot to the west of Crystal City.
What surprised him the most was that the location of this light spot was actually outside the encirclement of the red light spot group!
Who is this
How come he not only ran out of the Crystal City, but even broke through the encirclement of mutant creatures
Could this be Zhao Xiaochuan
At this time, Wen Guixin's watch vibrated. It was Zhao Xiaochuan calling.
"I didn't find anything! There were so many mutant creatures outside. I wandered around among them for a long time, but couldn't find anyone controlling them, so I gave up and came back..."
Zhao Xiaochuan's voice reached the ears of several people present.
Xu Xin immediately shifted his attention to the green light spot. Sure enough, the green light spot had passed through the dense group of red dots and returned to the interior of Crystal City. It was now at the northernmost part of Crystal City.
"You are in the north of Crystal City now, right?" Although he was basically certain that this was Zhao Xiaochuan, Xu Xin still asked.
"Brother Xin? You're here too. Yes, I'm at the northernmost point now. Hey, I wanted to see if I could use my abilities to do something good for those guys, but I couldn't find it at all."
The guys he was talking about were the other survivors who had been parasitic on him before. They had also been in his tree house during the hot summer, so naturally his relationship with those guys had improved a lot.
"I told you so. It's too hard to find someone to control all these beasts. Maybe they are not controlled by humans, but one of the beasts." Wen Guixin no longer leaned against the crystal wall. Instead, she stood up excitedly and looked outside. "Is it my turn to play?"
Lou Feier also heard his voice and walked out of the house: "Are you going to deal with the beast tide outside? By the way, I don't think I've ever seen you show your might?"
"Haha, I'll show it to you this time!" Wen Guixin said and wanted to walk out.
"Be careful." Jin Yue reminded.
"Don't worry!"
"Wait a moment." Xu Xin stopped her as she was walking out with big strides.
"What's wrong again?" Wen Guixin turned half of her body to look at him, looking like she was eager to go out.
"Wait a minute, there is another person outside the Crystal City..." Xu Xin looked at the green dot outside the western beast tide.
"Ah? There's another person?" Wen Guixin was also a little surprised. "You saw it on the map? But besides Zhao Xiaochuan, who else can get out?"
"... What's the current situation of the other explorers?" Xu Xin asked.
"How should I know? You can ask in the explorer group. Who is going out again?"
Xu Xin immediately asked in the explorer group.
Everyone responded.
Except for him, Wen Guixin and Zhao Xiaochuan, everyone else is still near the World Tree.
Ji Chaoyang was in his tree house, contacting the strong men in Area 1 and communicating with them about the current situation.
He said that not only had the temperature in Area 1 returned to normal, but more and more common wild beasts in the jungle had also reappeared, and there had been no beast tide; everything was perfectly normal.
Wang Lei and Qin Yunlong were also in their tree houses, chatting with other survivors in Area 188 on the regional channel. The situation of the other survivors in Area 188 was similar to that in Area 1, and they did not encounter any danger.
Moreover, the survivors in Crystal City have basically told the other members of Area 188 about their current situation, including the fact that they moved into Crystal City and the role of the giant world tree.
Coupled with Wang Lei's comfort, the other survivors in Area 188 not only did not complain, but were extremely envious.
What the others did was basically the same. All of them stayed near the World Tree, in the center of Crystal City, and did not go out.
"Who is outside? An ordinary survivor?" Wen Guixin asked in confusion. "That's impossible. How could an ordinary survivor get out? You must be seeing things... Hey, hey, hey!"
Wen Guixin suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Could it be Wen Xi?! Wen Xi is back?"
Xu Xin was already sending a voice request to Li Wenxi.
If that green dot is really Wen Xi, then given her current location, she should be able to get through to the voice chat!
However... judging from the information in the crystal bead, Wen Xi should not come up...
Hmm? It works?!
Is this true or false?!
"Wen Xi?!" Xu Xin asked hurriedly, "Is it really you?"
“…No.”
…
This sound...
“Yingying?!”
"Hey, you didn't expect that, brother? Yes, it's me!" Xu Ying's voice immediately became cheerful.
After hearing Xu Ying's voice, Xu Xin was sure that Xu Ying was definitely not sixteen or seventeen years old. She had been in this world for a while.
The three women around were so shocked that their lips slightly opened.
"Your sister?!" Wen Guixin stared at the watch on Xu Xin's wrist and asked in surprise, "Didn't you call Wen Xi?"
"...Wen Xi's watch is in your hands?" Xu Xin took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, but was still full of doubts, and asked immediately.
"That's right. My sister-in-law couldn't come, but she was too worried about you, so I had to come and see you. You should have seen the pearl I gave to the little guy just now, right?"
Is that really the case
"You little bastard, what on earth are you doing now..."
"Don't ask me, brother. I won't tell you even if you ask me!" Xu Ying interrupted him directly. "I just came to see if you guys would be in trouble. But Crystal City is really strong. It's not afraid of the beast tide at all. It seems that I was worrying too much."
… Yingying, does she also know the effects of Crystal City
Wasn't the Crystal City activated after he went underground? How did she know the function of the Crystal City
Who told her
"Also, stop calling me a little bitch. I'm... well, don't call me that anyway!"
The three women around Xu Xin were listening to the conversation between Xu Xin and his sister in amazement. Even Wen Guixin, who had been eager to go out to deal with the beast tide just now, was no longer in a hurry.
"Are you in the west of Crystal City now?" Xu Xin asked again.
"Eh? How did you know? Ah... map permissions? My mistake. I was assumed to have friendly units..."
While she was speaking, the green light on the map suddenly disappeared.
ha
Xu Xin was stunned.
Yingying not only knew his abilities, but... she could actually do something like this
What is this…
"... Yingying, am I still your biological brother?" Xu Xin took a deep breath and felt a little dizzy.
Everything this girl did made him want to quarrel with her.
“… Of course you are my brother! It’s because you are my brother that I am so careful!”
"I don't remember turning my sister into a riddle man! Tell me quickly, what's going on now! Where did you take Wen Xi?" Xu Xin immediately said seriously.
“Woo.”
Xu Ying, who was some distance away from Crystal City, was leaning against a tree and looking in the direction of Crystal City.
When she heard Xu Xin's tone, she shrank her neck and said with a guilty conscience: "I can't tell you, brother, don't ask. If you know too much, you will really die in your current situation!"
Xu Xin gritted his teeth.
This girl...
"Brother, I can only remind you one thing. Didn't you notice that those bastards didn't attack you personally?"
The words that Xu Xin was about to blurt out were stuck at his lips, and his eyes widened slightly.
What does she mean
"Those bastards" probably refer to those alien invaders.
Could it be that what she meant was that if she said something she shouldn't have said and let Xu Xin know something he shouldn't have known...
Then will the alien invaders attack them personally
The alien invaders now do feel a bit restrained, as if they dare not take action against them themselves, but must rely on some external force.
He suddenly thought of what happened in the Crystal Palace.
In that video, they also told Xu Xin what he knew only after asking him some questions, instead of directly revealing all the information.
… What on earth is this…
"Ah, I've been discovered, I have to go! Um, brother, I haven't heard your voice for a long time! Find us soon, then we can reminisce about the past!"
"You better hurry up, or I..."
On the map in my mind, countless red dots were rapidly approaching the location of the disappearing green dot!
Is she being targeted by the beasts? !
"Yingying, you..."
"goodbye!"
Before he could finish his words, the voice on the other end was hung up.
Only a few people were left standing there looking at each other in confusion.
