To be honest, Xu Xin really wanted to go with her.
That's Area 1, a place that has never been set foot on.
But when he thought of Xu Ying's instructions to him, asking him not to go out again before the World Tree grew, and the monster's action of sending people to kill him...
He was not too afraid of any problems. At least he felt that there should be no problem in moving around Crystal City or even in Area 188 under the influence of the World Tree.
But the place Shi Wanyun wanted to go was Area 1.
Area 1 is not within the protection range of the World Tree or Crystal City, and a situation like Shi Wanyun has occurred there.
If he went there, it would basically be like walking into a trap.
Moreover, although Shi Wanyun can teleport herself, she must use the teleportation device.
In other words, she could only teleport back to her tree house, or... to the strange world tree on the back of the earth.
If she wants to meet other powerful people in Area 1, she must use the teleportation array over there and teleport between the teleportation arrays in Area 1.
The teleportation array over there is completely in the hands of the other party. If he dares to use it...
Who knows if someone will plot against you and send you to some unknown place
Now that the half-human, half-alien monster with eyes all over its body clearly wanted to kill him, he absolutely could not run around.
"... I won't go with you, but you can't go alone. After all, your current situation is not optimistic."
Xu Xin said as he looked at Shi Wanyun who was drawing a teleportation array pattern on the ground with the blood of mutant creatures.
"So, are you afraid that I will run away?" Shi Wanyun paused and looked up at him.
"I told you, I already trust you." Xu Xin waved his hand, "But now you are the equivalent of... a traitor over there."
"… You're right." Shi Wanyun continued to draw the teleportation array, "But I don't think that monster would put so much effort on a small person like me."
"Judging from No. 5's attitude, you are not a small figure, but an indispensable genius." Xu Xin shook his head.
Then he opened his watch, called Lou Feier and explained the situation to her.
"Go to Area 1 with Shi Wanyun? Okay, no problem!" Lou Feier agreed immediately.
"Is Jin Yue with you?"
"Yes, do you want her to come too?"
"Well, you two are both people who have been injected with genetic drugs, and you also have the physical strength of mutant blood. You are the most suitable."
"What about Xiao Taozi? Do you want her to come along?" Lou Feier asked.
"Yes! I want to go too!" Zeng Tao's voice came from the other side. It was obvious that they were all together. "I'm going crazy here. Let me go too!"
"You can't." Xu Xin refused bluntly, "You haven't been injected with the gene drug yet, and don't forget that you still have an important mission."
But she also needs to cooperate with Ma Hongwei to make heavy thermal weapons that can be carried!
Besides this, there is another reason.
He chose Lou Feier and Jin Yue because Yingying had confirmed that Lou Feier was not a member of their team, and it was basically impossible for Jin Yue to be one.
The possibility of the two of them being targeted by alien invaders is the lowest, and the danger of them being in the same area is also the lowest.
But Zeng Tao herself possesses special abilities, and she is very likely to be a member of the research team like Qin Fu in that time and space.
If she goes, there might be some unnecessary trouble.
"Hmm..." Zeng Tao suddenly made a somewhat aggrieved sound, "Okay, I understand..."
"Shall we go there now?" Lou Feier's voice was slightly excited. Perhaps she felt that going to Area 1 was very exciting, and her tone already showed a hint of impatience.
"This is not a place for fun." Xu Xin warned, "Your operation is very dangerous this time, be careful. You and Jin Yue go get ready, and when you are ready, come..."
He glanced at Shi Wanyun.
Shi Wanyun was still lying on the ground drawing the teleportation array. Without raising her head, she said softly, "Let them come here. I'll take them to my tree house first."
"Just come to my tree house, Shi Wanyun will take you away."
"Okay, we'll go over when we're ready!"
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin called Ji Chaoyang again and explained the situation to him.
"That's it. How are things going over there?" Xu Xin asked.
"I have already told all the survivors on the regional channel that Area 188 is now under the protection of the World Tree, and they can come to us at any time. Now most of them are already tempted and want to take action.
In Area 1, I also sent out the same invitation in the alliance channel and informed them of our advantages. Now the survivors in Area 1 are also beginning to get excited. "
Ji Chaoyang's tone was slightly more relaxed than before.
"... In other words, all that's missing is a fuse." Xu Xin looked at Shi Wanyun who was still drawing the teleportation array pattern.
"Well, I hope Shi Wanyun can succeed."
When the call was hung up, Shi Wanyun had just finished drawing the last stroke of the teleportation array pattern and stood up.
Then, he sat on the sofa and did not take any further action.
"Don't you need to prepare?" Xu Xin looked at her and asked.
"Me? No need." Shi Wanyun shook her head gently, "I have everything in my tree house."
That's right, she is now going back to her tree house and what preparations she needs to make to go home.
"Oh, wait a minute."
Xu Xin slid his watch and found the random amplification item.
If Shi Wanyun sleeps in his tree house for more than three hours, she will be given a random amplification ability.
But you can't choose, it all depends on luck which one you get randomly.
Xu Xin immediately chose to give Shi Wanyun the ability.
Shi Wanyun gains affinity boost
A reminder tone sounds.
Xu Xin was stunned at first, then he laughed: "This is really... whatever you think will come true."
Shi Wanyun's eyes widened in surprise: "Random amplification? How...how could I get a random amplification?"
She looked at Xu Xin, puzzled: "Your tree house can also give me the ability of random amplification?"
Xu Xin did not answer her question, but looked her over and said with a smile: "When you first met me, you really had an increased affinity."
The feeling Shi Wanyun gave him at this moment was very similar to the feeling when he first met him in the underground Crystal City.
It's that kind of feeling that makes people want to trust involuntarily.
Moreover, this feeling became even more obvious now that he was already familiar with her.
"Well... there is indeed." Shi Wanyun nodded, and then suddenly said, "If the tree house is decorated well enough, the random amplification can be shared with others?"
"Well, my tree house decoration level has reached 1000, so I can share the random enhancement with another person."
"1000..." Shi Wanyun opened her mouth slightly, then smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I just passed 500. You are indeed... too strong."
Thinking about what she did when she first met Xu Xin, she felt a little ashamed.
"Affinity boost." Xu Xin sat on the sofa, touched Coco's tail, and said with a smile, "This is indeed the most suitable boost for you right now."
What she wants to do now is to persuade people to join her, and the effect of increasing affinity can be perfectly demonstrated.
The last time Li Wenxi randomly increased affinity.
The probability of this affinity increase occurring is quite high.
At this time, Lou Feier's voice came from under the tree house: "Xu Xin, we are here!"
Xu Xin immediately pulled up Lou Feier and Jin Yue who were under the tree house.
As soon as the two entered the house, they saw a teleportation array pattern on the ground that was slightly larger than the manhole cover.
"Is this what you just drew?" Lou Feier immediately came over, squatted down and observed it carefully.
Jin Yue also came over and stood beside Xu Xin.
Both of them were wearing purple-grade steel armor.
With this kind of advanced protective gear, there shouldn't be much danger at least when facing intermediate or lower level mutant creatures.
"Weapons, equipment, medicines...are they all ready?"
Xu Xin asked finally.
"Of course, there is no problem!" Lou Feier stood up and patted her chest.
Jin Yue also nodded: "We can set off anytime."
"Okay, let's set off now. You two, hold on to me." Shi Wanyun walked to the middle of the teleportation array.
Lou Feier and Jin Yue immediately grabbed her arms.
The array pattern lit up with a blood-red light, which was then replaced by a purple-black light.
Then, a vortex appeared.
"We're leaving... ah!"
Following Lou Feier's scream, Shi Wanyun pulled the two of them and fell directly into it.
After the three people disappeared, the vortex on the ground quickly shrank into a purple-black light spot and finally disappeared.
Also disappearing was the teleportation array pattern drawn by Shi Wanyun.
The originally dark red teleportation array pattern had now disappeared without a trace.
"It's disposable." Xu Xin squatted down and touched the ground with some curiosity.
There really was no trace left.
At this moment, his watch vibrated.
I raised my hand and saw that it was Shi Wanyun calling.
"We're at my tree house. There's no danger here for now, but... Lou Feier's watch can't communicate with you."
The watch doesn't work again
"That's right. I originally wanted to send you a voice message to tell you that we arrived safely, but this broken watch doesn't work again." Lou Feier's voice sounded somewhat disgusted and helpless.
… Could it be that the watch was too far from her own tree house
No, before that, Shi Wanyun was still using a watch to contact him on the other side of the earth.
It seems there are other situations.
"In short, when you act, pay more attention to your surroundings, and don't get taken away again like Shi Wanyun did last time."
After giving a few instructions, Xu Xin hung up the phone and prepared to go down from the tree house.
"Ah!" Coco cried and climbed onto his shoulders.
After bringing Coco down, Xu Xin found the pangolin cave next to his tree house.
He looked inside.
This time the cave was not as deep as the last time, only about four or five meters deep, but at this time, extremely thick protrusions could be seen on the ground of the cave.
This should be the root system of the world tree.
The reason why they didn't continue digging the hole downwards was because they were blocked by the roots of the World Tree.
Deep in the cave, three pangolins were huddled there.
"Ying!" Coco screamed and jumped directly into the cave.
Xu Xin also slid in.
The giant pangolin concubine still looked like a mutant creature, but the blood patterns on its body were much darker, and its body was also larger than before.
This should be the credit of... Crystal City.
When it saw Xu Xin, it raised its head slightly and called out softly.
The two little pangolins were no longer small in size at this point.
Although they are not as big as their mother, they can no longer be called "little pangolins".
Including the tail, the body length is close to two meters, right
“嘤…” Coco stood up and stared blankly at the two pangolins in front of her, which were originally smaller than her.
It seemed as if they couldn't figure out why these two little guys were growing so fast.
When the two pangolins saw Xu Xin coming down, they immediately lay over, barked twice, and rubbed Xu Xin's trouser legs.
Although they are two meters long, their scales are still obviously smooth and tender, and their calls are still as tender as before.
However, their claws are not much weaker than their mother's claws.
Xu Xin could fully imagine the speed at which they dug with their sharp claws.
"Going through the mountain" shouldn't be a problem.
Xu Xin immediately explained the situation to them.
The pangolin family naturally agreed readily, and when the time came, they would directly join the battle.
Moreover, they followed Xu Xin out of the cave, crawled towards the ditches being dug around them, and joined in the digging of the ditches.
The digging of the ravine mobilized almost all the survivors in Crystal City.
"Ah, Brother Xin, you're here!" Wang Lei was standing in a ravine five or six meters deep at this time, looking up and waving to Xu Xin.
“You guys are digging very fast.”
"Hey, with this advanced tool, it's not hard at all. One shovel can get a large piece of soil." Wang Lei patted his backpack and said, "I've collected them all. These soils are all high-quality soils!"
During this period, the purple-level soil around the World Tree has gradually increased.
Not only the ground, but also the underground has high-grade soil.
In this area, the soil dug out is at least blue-grade soil, and these are all soil resources.
With the addition of the three pangolins, the excavation progress instantly accelerated a lot.
The progress of the three pangolins almost matches the overall speed of the survivors.
So, the pangolins dug in front, and a few survivors came behind to collect soil, and the other survivors continued to dig.
Soon, the entire ditch had been dug to a depth of seven or eight meters and continued to be dug downwards.
Xu Xin helped for a while, but was pushed out by other survivors to do other things.
After all, he is busy here, and his efficiency is no different from that of ordinary survivors, so one more person won't make any difference.
It would be good if Wang Lei could take the command from now on.
In fact, it feels more professional to let Li Wenxi lead the excavation work.
It’s a pity that Wen Xi is not here.
However, Yingying also said that they should be able to come back after the World Tree grows.
…
"What did you say?!" Xu Ying slammed the table, "Wei Bo is missing?!"
"Yes, grandpa disappeared after leaving the Yuan family." Wei Shishi's expression was also very ugly.
"Could it be the Yuan family..." Li Wenxi immediately turned to look at the tall building outside the window, "Have they been infiltrated by alien forces?"
"No... at least not on the surface." Wei Shishi looked at the tablet in her hand with a frown, "Grandpa did walk out of the Yuan family's gate and got into his own car, but..."
"The car is missing?" Xu Ying asked.
"Yes, that car can't be tracked!"
"You should have installed cameras on the streets, right?" Li Wenxi pointed outside. "I've seen several of them before."
"We have installed them, but some cameras have been malfunctioning recently, and we have repaired them several times. This time, too, within the jurisdiction of the faulty camera, grandpa's vehicle... simply disappeared!"
The three women all looked solemn.
Wei Bai is the head of the Wei family!
And took control of most of the power of the Wei family.
His disappearance at this critical moment makes it hard not to think of something bad.
"No, this is too strange." Wei Shishi stood up suddenly, "Grandpa is missing, I have the power to temporarily use the power of the Wei family, I must use military force!"
Xu Ying and Li Wenxi looked at each other.
Both of them were somewhat concerned about what Wei Shishi had just said.
The camera keeps malfunctioning lately
This time a camera malfunctioned and Wei Bo disappeared.
What about before that
Didn’t anything happen with the previous malfunction
... Could it be that the traitors lurking in the crowd are already preparing to take action!
