All the explorers left.
According to Ji Chaoyang's prediction, nothing major should happen today.
However, the absence of major events does not mean that today will be a peaceful day.
Maybe there is an undercurrent.
No, there is definitely an undercurrent.
So they have to be careful everywhere.
Xu Xin sat on the sofa, a little dazed.
Yingying told him not to leave the Crystal City until the World Tree grew up, which made him not know what to do for a moment.
I miss Wen Xi a little.
"Are we just going to sit there and do nothing?" Lou Feier, who had not left, asked Xu Xin while scratching Coco's big tail.
"I'm not allowed to leave Crystal City. It feels so boring." Zeng Tao lay on the sofa, and when she stepped on the ground with her little feet, there was a "click" sound, and a big hole was stepped on the ground of the tree house.
"Hey, hey, don't step so hard!" Lou Feier reminded her hurriedly.
"Oh oh..." Zeng Tao secretly glanced at Xu Xin, and seeing that he was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and stopped moving. However, she still muttered, "Anyway, it can be repaired automatically, so what's there to be afraid of..."
"I'm the most boring one, okay?" Qin Fu spread his hands helplessly, "I feel itchy all over sitting here."
"Like me, calm down and do some research." Ma Hongwei, who was still writing and drawing, glanced at him and said, "Since you have so much free time, why don't you come and help me?"
Jin Yue stood behind Ma Hongwei and looked at the drawings he made with interest.
"No, no." Qin Fu waved his hand immediately, "I have no interest in research at all."
"Huh? Haven't you been confirmed as a member of that team? How come you have no interest in research at all?" Zeng Tao looked at him and asked in confusion.
Qin Fu shrugged: "That's another me, not me. However, I feel that even another me can't calm down and study a time machine. Well, a team can't be full of researchers, right, boss?"
"Hmm? I don't know either. I can only ask Yingying about these things." Xu Xin sat up straight on the sofa. "Maybe you are someone who goes out to explore, find new materials, and investigate the enemy?"
These guys talking about all this nonsense here actually made him relax a lot from his tense mood.
For a moment I felt like sleeping.
Come to think of it, he hasn't slept for a few days, and without the random enhancement of the tree house, he always feels like something is missing.
Perhaps, I should take advantage of the fact that there is no crisis now and sleep for three hours
The random amplification was an immense help to him.
"I think so too." Qin Fu snapped his fingers, then he looked out the window, "My ability is related to exploration. Unfortunately, all the trees in Crystal City have disappeared. Now there are only tree houses in Crystal City, and my ability cannot establish a connection with the tree houses."
"That's indeed a problem." Xu Xin touched his chin.
Qin Fu’s detection ability is very strong and must be used.
Crystal City is not 100% safe, so if he could conduct investigations, it would be a double guarantee.
"Well, since you don't have anything to do right now, why don't you take a few people with you to plant trees and make Crystal City greener?" Xu Xin thought for a moment and said, "The main thing is to fully utilize your abilities."
"I've had this idea for a long time." Qin Fu immediately smiled, "but I just haven't had the chance yet. Since you said so, I'll go now."
"What about the seeds? How many?"
"Don't worry, I have enough."
Xu Xin nodded: "You can go and discuss it with Zhao Xiaochuan. He is in charge of crop planting. He can plant anything. We can also start planting crops in advance."
"That makes sense. I see."
Xu Xin sent him down from the tree house.
"Leaving now? Hmm... But according to what he said, I may still be a member of the research team!"
Zeng Tao immediately felt much better, with a smile on her face, "Well, I am in the team, and I am definitely responsible for protecting everyone's safety!"
"You are responsible for security..." Lou Fei'er patted her head, "Impossible, how could the person being protected be a tiny person like you? Security personnel first need to have a deterrent effect on their appearance. What kind of deterrent effect do you have?"
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing as well.
Zeng Tao was in charge of the guarding, and the scene was really unbearable to watch.
Indeed, if the person responsible for protecting the team's safety can have a very intimidating appearance, he can indeed save a lot of energy.
The deterrent effect alone is enough to scare away most people with bad intentions.
But if it's a cute little guy like Zeng Tao...
Not only will that have no deterrent effect, it will also cause unnecessary trouble.
"You patted my head again! How do you know I have no deterrent power? Maybe I will grow taller and bigger than you in the future!" Zeng Tao slapped her hand away and said with gritted teeth.
"Haha." Lou Feier laughed twice without any emotion, showing her sarcasm.
“You you…!”
The two started fighting.
Xu Xin's attention was attracted by Ma Hongwei who was studying with his head down.
Jin Yue was standing behind him at this time, and asked in surprise: "Is this... the new tree house heavy crossbow? Why does it look... "
"It's not the Tree House Heavy Crossbow." Ma Hongwei shook his head. "I'm researching a kind of... heavy artillery that can be moved. But I failed several times."
A mobile heavy artillery
Xu Xin stood up and walked over, looking at his drawings.
According to the blueprint, it is a heavy artillery.
…Hand-held heavy artillery
"Brother Xin, we are definitely not going to stay in Crystal City forever."
Ma Hongwei saw Xu Xin coming over and looked up at him.
“So, I want to create a super-powerful weapon that we can carry with us, so that we can kill behemoths anytime and anywhere, instead of having to live in Crystal City.”
This is also what Xu Xin has always felt was lacking.
Lou Feier and the others all possess very strong physical abilities, but they are still somewhat stretched in front of the giant beast.
Now if they want to kill the behemoth, they must rely on the tree house heavy crossbow.
It would be great if there was a weapon that could kill the behemoth...
"You've never succeeded?"
"Yes."
Ma Hongwei's expression showed some distress and confusion, as well as a hint of powerlessness.
“Perhaps, this is beyond the scope of my ability. My ability is to make heavy weapons for tree houses, but I want to make heavy weapons that can be carried.
Although the structure and various data have been formed, it cannot be manufactured by power in any way. "
Xu Xin looked at the drawing again.
The internal structure of that heavy artillery was designed very carefully, and was marked with various detailed texts and data, which was enough to show how much effort he put into it.
But unfortunately, if the ability cannot be produced, it will be out of reach for them.
After all, they didn't have any heavy industrial system, so how could they make a giant metal cannon
"Zeng Tao." At this time, Jin Yue suddenly spoke. She looked at Zeng Tao who was still playing with Lou Fei'er. "She has an ability, isn't it... to make heavy weapons?"
Xu Xin and Ma Hongwei were both stunned.
Then Xu Xin reacted and laughed: "Yes! This little girl has been so stupid recently that I almost forgot her ability!"
"Brother Xin, what is her ability...?" Ma Hongwei asked with some confusion.
He has rarely communicated with other people and didn't know much about Zeng Tao. He only knew that this little girl who looked like a junior high school student but was actually an adult was very strong and heavy, but he knew nothing else.
"Her abilities may help you succeed. Zeng Tao, what are you doing?!"
The fight between Zeng Tao and Lou Feier has evolved from playing around in the beginning to a real fight.
She tried again and again to catch and attack Lou Feier, but failed again and again. She was also mocked by Lou Feier, her face turned red and her neck became thick, and she was a little angry.
The result was that with a "click" sound, she broke the sofa with one punch!
"Hmm?!" Coco, who was sleeping on the armrest of the sofa, was suddenly awakened.
Even Mimi Silver King and the others, who had been lying on the side, raised their heads and looked over.
"Ah!" Zeng Tao kicked Lou Feier again in a very evil way, but not only did he miss her, he also lost his balance and stepped down to the ground with his raised foot.
"Kachcha!"
The loud noise caused Shi Wanyun in the second bedroom to cover her head with a quilt.
Zeng Tao's feet went straight through the ground, and a big hole appeared on the floor.
At this moment she heard Xu Xin's voice.
Lou Feier's eyes widened: "You...you kicked me with such great force?"
Zeng Tao panicked a little and quickly pulled her feet out of the ground.
Then I didn't dare to move.
She turned back to look at Xu Xin carefully: "Well... the sofa is easy to make, and the floor can be repaired by itself..."
Xu Xin walked up to her and slapped her on the head: "Are you a Husky? You always destroy things!"
"Woo woo..." Zeng Tao didn't dare to hide and could only pout in grievance.
Lou Feier came over and said, "It's nothing serious. It's not a big deal. It's just a sofa. We can just make another one...ah!"
Xu Xin hit her head directly, and she immediately covered her head and stared at him.
"You're just teasing her, how can you do this?" Xu Xin said unhappily.
"This... Little Peach is so cute, I can't help it."
"You are cute, your whole family is cute!"
Lou Fei'er and Zeng Tao stared at each other, their relationship was at loggerheads.
Jin Yue, on the other hand, had already started cleaning up the remains of the sofa.
Coco ran to Silver King Mimi and went to sleep with them.
"Alright, alright. Zeng Tao, Ma Hongwei needs your help."
"You need my help? What's the matter?" Zeng Tao immediately trotted to Ma Hongwei.
Ma Hongwei told her about his plan.
"Huh?" Jin Yue let out a slight sound of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Lou Feier was cleaning up the broken pieces of the sofa with her. When she heard her voice, she immediately looked over curiously.
Jin Yue pointed to the ground and said, "Was the tree house restored so quickly before?"
"Recovery speed? Ah!" Lou Feier opened her eyes wide and waved at Xu Xin, "Xu Xin, come here quickly!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin walked over.
Lou Feier pointed to the ground and said, "Look, the big hole Zeng Tao stepped on just now has completely disappeared!"
oh
Xu Xin looked over.
really.
It can be said that there is no trace left.
The ground was completely flat and there was no trace of damage, as if the ground had never been damaged.
But Xu Xin just saw that Zeng Tao's calf was directly stepped into the floor, which definitely made a big hole in the floor.
"When I saw it just now, it had already fully recovered." Jin Yue reached out and touched it, "I'm afraid... it will only take half a minute at most."
Half a minute...
Xu Xin laughed in surprise.
Half a minute is too fast.
"It's much faster than the previous recovery speed." Lou Feier was also very surprised.
It's too fast.
Before, even a scratch would take more than ten minutes to recover.
Such a big hole will take at least a day or two to heal before no trace can be seen.
But now, it was repaired in just ten seconds!
This was not noticed until ten seconds later, and it might have been repaired instantly after Zeng Tao pulled his leg out.
Is it because of Crystal City
Or is it because of the World Tree
Or maybe both
In short, Xu Xin felt that his sense of security in Crystal City had risen to a higher level.
Also, if his tree house has such powerful recovery capabilities, then... what about the World Tree
He suddenly felt that the growing World Tree might not be fragile at all.
It seemed that he could sleep well and peacefully for a while and get the random increase again.
But before that…
"Brother Xin, I think it's feasible. I'll borrow Zeng Tao first!" Ma Hongwei looked a little excited, "Maybe she can really make the weapon I designed!"
On the side, Zeng Tao seemed a little confused.
"We don't have many resources now, so be frugal when doing experiments," Xu Xin reminded him.
Since Li Wenxi is not around, everything has to be used economically.
"Don't worry, I'll try it out with stone and wood first!"
"Well... I'll try my best!" Although Zeng Tao was a little confused, she still clenched her fist.
"Come on, if the plan really succeeds, you can evolve directly from wielding a sword to carrying a cannon." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Carrying a cannon... looks very impressive!"
Xu Xin sent Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao out, and the two immediately entered Ma Hongwei's tree house.
Only Lou Feier, Jin Yue, and Shi Wanyun in the second bedroom were left in the room.
"Jin Yue, you helped other survivors assemble heavy crossbows last night, what was the result?" Xu Xin asked.
"Everyone is equipped with three-way crossbows, which provide a certain level of firepower suppression against groups of creatures." Jin Yue replied.
The exploding crossbows all over the sky did have a powerful suppressive firepower.
It’s a pity that Wen Xi is not here and the stamina is insufficient. The method of suppressing the enemy’s firepower by means of the explosive crossbow can only be used once.
"How about this, Jin Yue, come with me and I'll take you to get the genetic medicine injected."
"Gene... medicine?" Jin Yue was startled at first, then her eyes lit up slightly, "Okay."
Since there is no danger for now, let's start injecting the genetic medicine into the people around him in turn.
Everyone else is busy right now, so let’s go with Jin Yue first.
Moreover, she is the only one who took the mutation pill but did not sign a contract.
While she is indeed very loyal, this also means that she is more susceptible to mind control.
Let's give her an injection of genetic medicine first.
"Fei'er, you come with us too."
"Oh, okay!" Lou Feier responded, then smiled softly at Jin Yue, "Now, you can also live forever!"
"I don't care about immortality. But after injecting the genetic medicine, at least I don't have to worry about my mental problems." Jin Yue smiled slightly.
"Let's go."
Xu Xin brought the two women to the treasure room that only he could open, and completed the injection for Jin Yue.
After the injection, Jin Yue felt weak all over and fell into a coma.
"I'm going back to the tree house to take a nap and replenish my strength. You take care of her." Xu Xin said as he supported the unconscious Jin Yue.
Her body was very hot.
"Amplification? Oh, I see. Leave it to me." Lou Feier reacted and immediately patted her plump chest. "I am very familiar with this symptom!"
She took Jin Yue back to her room, and Xu Xin also returned to his tree house and lay down on the bed.
This was the first sleep he had after Wen Xi left.
“… I’m a little bit uncomfortable with this.”
Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes.
I hope everything will be back to normal when he wakes up.
