The place where the three people appeared was not the center of the town, but the edge.
In addition, this area is very flat, so at a glance, the three of them can see the entire scenery.
This change is too huge.
Although Xu Xin was prepared, after all, only three hours had passed on his side, and he had also taken a nap. For him, it was just a blink of an eye, and such a big change happened here...
It's really shocking.
But, when you think about it, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Although only three hours had passed outside, half a month had passed inside.
Of course, it is impossible to build such a well-proportioned town in a normal half month.
But those present were all survivors, people who could use the tree house ability to quickly build a building.
Those seeds are all quick-growing seeds that only take a few days or even more than ten days to grow. They will probably grow even faster in the World Tree, so the scene of crops and fruit trees everywhere appeared within half a month.
Is this... a hundred times the time advantage
"You, they did a good job." Xu Ying was very satisfied. "This plan has the feeling of our time in the underground world."
Li Wenxi also looked at the scene in front of him with curiosity. At the same time, he looked around and touched the sleeping Coco in his arms and said, "These are the results of their three and a half hours... no, half a month? Amazing! Only this area is green!"
really.
Xu Xin looked around.
Apart from this reclaimed area, the rest of the place is still barren, with no vegetation, only soil.
Fortunately, there is no wind in the World Tree, otherwise, if there is a strong wind in this piece of vegetation-free wasteland, it will be a sandstorm...
Look at the present again.
The area that was originally completely barren has now become an oasis in the wasteland.
Li Wenxi looked around again, then said with regret: "It's a pity, there are no mines to be mined in this World Tree. If you want to mine, you still have to go out."
Are there no mines in the World Tree
A little disappointing, but... that's normal.
It is already surprising that there is soil in this newly grown world tree. If there are metal mines, it would be a bit outrageous.
However, if they want to mine, they have to go out, but the time outside flows too slowly.
For the development of the World Tree, mining outside would directly reduce the efficiency to 1%...
The miners go out to dig for seven or eight hours, and when they come back one or two months have passed.
This is so uncomfortable.
… No, there is another place that can satisfy that requirement.
Underground world…
"Brother Xin! Brother Xin is back!"
"It's really Brother Xin! The two girls next to him are..."
"Ah! It's Wen Xi!"
At this time, people shouted in surprise from the three surrounding tree houses.
Although this location is at the edge of the reclaimed area, it is the entrance and exit to the World Tree, so there are still people guarding it.
They now saw Xu Xin and the other two, and one of them even swung down directly from the tree house.
"Yajun!" Li Wenxi's eyes lit up and he ran forward.
“Wenxi!” Li Yajun came down from the tree house and ran towards Li Wenxi. She gave her a hug, then grabbed her hand and said excitedly, “You’re really okay. That’s great. I was really worried about you!”
"Of course I'm fine, even though I've been through some things... But you guys, I heard you went through a war!"
Xu Xin and Xu Ying also walked over.
"Xu Xin, you're finally back... Ah, hello." Li Yajun leaned slightly towards Xu Ying who was beside Xu Xin.
She had met Xu Ying before, so of course she knew who the girl in front of her was.
"Ah, it's you. Nice to see you again."
Xu Ying waved at her and shifted her attention to the reclaimed area, while occasionally looking back at the vast uncultivated wasteland.
At this moment, Xu Xin's watch vibrated.
It was a message from Ji Chaoyang.
At the same time, he also saw several people rushing towards this side in the distance.
They are Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan.
"Xu Xin, have you ever thought about contacting the inside of the World Tree?" Ji Chaoyang's voice was helpless.
It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Xu Xin's disappearance in the past half month.
"Um... Actually, I was only outside for more than three hours." Xu Xin said with a little embarrassment.
"I can still figure this out." Ji Chaoyang said, "Come over quickly. We have made a lot of discoveries in the tree houses in this area in the past half month."
"good."
After hanging up the call, Wang Lei and the other two had already made great progress.
"Brother Xin! Brother Xin! Oh my god, you're finally here!" Wang Lei shouted as he ran over here, "Today is already the fifteenth day!"
Zhao Xiaochuan was faster than him and had already run to Xu Xin's side. "Brother Xin, you've taken too long! We almost thought something had happened to you, but we don't have a way to get out... Ah! Wen Xi is back too! And is this Brother Xin's sister? Hello, hello!"
"Ah... hello." Xu Ying took the hand he extended and shook hands with him, with a slightly strange expression.
Xu Xin understood after a little thought.
The previous Zhao Xiaochuan was also a core figure in the original team. Xu Ying and that Zhao Xiaochuan must have known each other for hundreds of years and should be very familiar with him.
Such a familiar person, in front of her, even shook hands with her a little respectfully, which did make her feel strange.
"Hey, how about I'm back? How have you been doing without me?" Li Wenxi said with a smile.
"Oh, don't mention it!" Zhao Xiaochuan slapped his thigh, "We are so tight on money that we are about to cry! We barely made it through the defense battle, but in the past ten days, due to resource problems, development has come to a standstill..."
Zhao Xiaochuan pointed to the town behind him and said, "If we had sufficient resources, this place wouldn't be like this now."
"The current situation..." Xu Xin said speechlessly, "For me, this is beyond my imagination. You even raise cattle and sheep."
"Haha!" Wang Lei had already walked over. "When we came in, didn't we bring in a few mutants from the group of mutants outside? These are their descendants, and they are all low-level mutants. Only the skin is contaminated, and the meat is not contaminated. It is completely edible, and the taste is very delicious!"
They have long known that low-level mutant creatures can be eaten.
Some meat of low-level mutant creatures is still preserved in Xu Xin’s tree house cold storage.
"It seems like you guys are living a pretty good life." Xu Xin said with a smile.
Wang Lei smiled embarrassedly: "To be honest, I was just thinking, Brother Xin, it would be better if you came in later, so that we can enjoy it for a few more days. When you come in, I'm afraid we won't be so comfortable. But it's really a great thing that Sister Wen Xi is back!"
It seems that they have been really worried about resources over the past ten days.
According to Li Wenxi's exploration, there are no resources here. Is there any way for them to go out and explore for resources? If they really want to develop, they can't do anything without the right materials.
"Okay, okay, let's stop chatting here and let's go in first. Ji Chaoyang just asked me to go to the tree house in the center." Xu Xin asked Zhao Xiaochuan.
"Ah, that's my tree house, let's go over there, they should all be there already."
When they moved into the World Tree, Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, Wang Lei and Wen Guixin's tree houses were left outside, because only their four tree houses had plant hearts that could automatically protect the World Tree.
Even though the World Tree is mature now, it still needs to be protected.
The tree houses of other explorers have basically been moved in, after all, the ability to build tree houses is still needed.
Half of the tree houses of the other survivors were also moved in, and the rest were temporarily left outside as automatic turrets to protect the World Tree.
Passing through wheat fields and pastures, you can see a tree house every few dozen meters along the way. When Xu Xin and his companions passed by, the survivors inside would stick their heads out to say hello and express their gratitude.
"Hello, elders!"
"Hello, Brother Xin!"
"Thank you, Brother Xin, for guarding the World Tree for us outside!"
“This is a life I could never have imagined before!”
"Protecting the World Tree..." Xu Xin glanced at Wang Lei, "Did you explain the situation of the World Tree to them?"
"Not yet." Zhao Xiaochuan whispered, "They all don't know that time flows slowly outside. Mainly because you haven't come back yet. We don't know much about this aspect, so we can't make any conclusions."
"I don't understand either. But..."
Xu Xin turned his head and looked behind him.
Behind him, Xu Ying sometimes looked up at the sky, sometimes squatted down to touch the soil, and sometimes came close to Li Wenxi to whisper a few words.
"Ah, I'll tell you about this when we get there." Xu Ying couldn't help but smile, "Oh, this is such a great place!"
At this moment, a little girl ran towards him.
It’s Zeng Tao.
"Xu Xin! You guys are finally back!" Zeng Tao was about to cry when she ran to Xu Xin. "Half a month! Do you know how I spent the past half a month? Woo woo woo... I have been forced to study. I am going crazy!"
"Oh? Not bad, how are the results?"
"It's okay... Without high-level resources, we can only try... Ah, Wen Xi, you're back!"
Zeng Tao ran to Li Wenxi's side and exchanged pleasantries for a while, then asked in a somewhat strange tone: "Where are Lou Fei'er and the other three? Didn't they come with you?"
"Well, the three of them are still in Area 1 and haven't come back yet."
Xu Xin had already discovered this when he was outside.
The three men haven't returned for more than three hours. He doesn't know what happened, which makes him a little worried.
However, he still chose to enter this world first, let Xu Ying explain the situation of this world clearly, and then distribute the authority to enter and exit the world tree to other explorers.
Let’s deal with these things first.
Anyway, the flow of time in the World Tree is very fast. Even if he stays in it for several hours, only a few minutes will pass outside, so it won’t take much time.
"Still in Area 1?! How did they go for so long... Oh, by the way, only a few hours passed outside, I almost forgot. It's okay then." Zeng Tao was no longer worried.
They soon arrived at the tree house in the center of the area.
The explorers have gathered.
"Wen Xi, welcome back." Qi Xuefei said with a smile.
"Xu Xin, why haven't you come in for so long?" Wen Guixin said very dissatisfiedly, "It's been half a month!"
"Boss, did you fall asleep outside?" Qin Fu leaned against the trunk of the tree house and smiled teasingly.
Xu Xin touched his nose embarrassedly.
He was right.
But this is not his fault, it's Coco's fault. Xu Xin thought, grabbing a handful of Coco from Li Wenxi's arms.
"Hmm?!" Keke was woken up immediately. She raised her little head and looked around blankly. Then she looked at Li Wenxi who was holding her. Her eyes gradually widened: "Hmm?"
"Okay, let's all go up, everyone around is watching." Ji Chaoyang said, looking at Xu Ying at the same time, "I have a lot of things I want to know."
Xu Ying raised her eyebrows slightly: "Brother Ji's personality is still so calm."
Xu Xin looked around.
A lot of people indeed.
There are now more than two hundred survivors in the World Tree, most of whom live in this small area because this is the built residential area.
They now all know that Xu Xin, who was outside "investigating the situation", has returned, and they are all very curious about what happened.
One by one, they have begun to gather here.
"Everyone, please go away. It's very safe outside now. I just came back to take a look." Xu Xin waved his hands at the people around him.
The people around him immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“I see!”
"Very good… "
"That's what I said. There has been no movement for half a month. That mysterious voice should no longer care about us, right?"
"So, we are safe now, right?"
“If only it could continue like this.”
Fifteen days of peaceful life is hard-earned, and these survivors who have struggled with life-threatening situations can understand this more deeply.
The happy life of the past half month was hard-earned, and they really didn't want Xu Xin to bring back any bad news.
After getting the response they wanted, they left satisfied.
"Let's go."
The explorers went directly into Zhao Xiaochuan's tree house.
"Yingying, please explain the situation." Xu Xin said to Xu Ying, who was still stroking her chin and thinking about something.
"Hmm? Ah, good! Everyone, we are so... so lucky to have such a World Tree as our base!"
Xu Ying walked to the window and pointed outside: "You have lived in this world for half a month, so you should have some understanding of this tree world. This tree is our team's most unexpected masterpiece!"
Everyone present already knew Xu Ying's identity and had been waiting for her arrival for some time, so everyone listened to her words attentively.
Xu Ying also generously disclosed the information about the World Tree.
"The original land area affected by the World Tree was about 500 kilometers in radius. This area is not very large on the expanding Earth, but I think the area affected by this World Tree should be even larger."
Xu Ying took out a small blackboard from somewhere and started writing and drawing on it.
"In addition to the changes you already know, this area will also be... a dangerous area for enemy mutants. Once mutants enter this area, their strength will be reduced."
There is actually such ability.
"At the same time, you don't have to worry about the World Tree's ability to protect itself." Xu Ying patted her chest and said, "At least in our time, it was basically impossible to destroy a mature World Tree."
Xu Xin thought about what he had seen in the underground world.
The slender vines directly broke the wings of the advanced petrified creature.
The strength of the slender vines alone was already shocking, and the extremely thick trunk of the World Tree outside...
It seems that they... really don't have to worry about anything.
"The purpose of this world tree is to receive humans from the underground world, so..."
Xu Ying looked at the people present and said solemnly: "Next, I will bring a group of humans, and... a batch of high-tech equipment that you don't have."
