Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"Come back, you two." Xu Xin said to Mimi and Ah Fu in the cave.

At the same time, he also frowned and looked in.

There is indeed danger here.

However, judging from his current perception, the so-called source of danger should be sleeping.

"Hey!" Ke Ke still had a very resistant look, curling up in Xu Xin's arms, as if she didn't want to go in at all.

Xu Xin still believed in Coco's perception.

That being the case...

Xu Xin touched his backpack.

Inside, there are... petrochemical bombs brought out from the underground world.

Mimi and Ah Fu who came out of the cave seemed to be reluctant to part with the cave.

"Well, do you want to go in?"

Zeng Tao asked, holding a big knife.

She looked into the hole, her eyes widened, and she took a step forward unconsciously.

Judging by her appearance, she was obviously attracted.

Xu Xin glanced at the time.

Now...it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

Now that the cold winter is not over, at this time, the sky is filled with the afterglow of the setting sun.

I'm afraid it will be completely dark here in a few minutes.

Here...it's still too dangerous.

Moreover, after experiencing their exploration of the underground world, knowing Shi Wanyun's experience, and speculating about Qin Fu's current experience, he will be a little bit hesitant about this unknown but definitely dangerous place.

I always feel that there will be some triggered activities.

...forget it for now.

Now that the winter was coming to an end, he couldn't afford to get bogged down in another activity.

And he just came out of the ground!

"Hey! Hey!" It can be seen that Xu Xin has been looking into the cave, and suddenly became a little anxious, patting wildly with her little paws.

"Okay, okay, let's not go in, let's go back." Xu Xin said.

"Oh!"

"Ah? Go back?" Zeng Tao had already stepped into the hole with a big knife in his hand, "Isn't it? We've all arrived here! Didn't you say everything, come here, why don't you go in! "

Saying that, she stepped into the hole.

Xu Xin shook her head: "I believe in Coco's intuition, and its intuition has never been wrong. Moreover, it is not suitable to be in a dangerous situation at this stage. Let's go back first and make a long-term plan."

He originally just wanted to come over to investigate the situation, otherwise he should have come with other members of the explorer.

Of course, at this stage, they don't necessarily have time.

"This..." Zeng Tao had a distressed expression on his face.

"Okay, let's go back..." Xu Xin's words stopped abruptly, and then, her brows slowly frowned.

"Hey!" Ke Ke also suddenly hung behind Xu Xin's back, only showing half of his small head, looking into the cave.

Zeng Tao still wanted to fight for it: "Why don't you let me in, I have two lives anyway, and..."

"Do not talk!"

"...Oh? What's the matter..."

Zeng Tao was startled by Xu Xin's solemn scolding, and muttered something in a low voice.

She thought Xu Xin was angry, so she quickly backed out of the cave and stood beside him obediently.

Beside him, Yin Wang, Mimi and Ah Fu didn't respond, and the three beasts were startled by Xu Xin's scolding.

"...Huh, recovered again?" Xu Xin murmured in a low voice.

His eyes were serious.

Just now, in the cave, the steady breathing sound suddenly became rough!

The owner of the sound of breathing seems to be awake!

Moreover, he also heard a "hissing" sound like a gas leak.

However, now, as Zeng Tao withdrew from the hole, the voice returned to normal.

"What recovered... Huh?" Zeng Tao twitched her nose lightly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xin asked immediately.

"It seems..." Zeng Tao's eyes were confused for a moment, then she regained her clarity, and then she took a step back vigilantly, "There is a strange smell! It seemed to affect my head just now! I just fainted for a moment !"

weird smell?

"Isn't it the smell of red mist?"

"No, definitely not, it's something else! It's a bit weird, but...not bad." Zeng Tao sniffed his nose twice again, "Well...you can't smell it now."

Xu Xin glanced at Mimi Silver King and them.

They are also affected for a while, but only for a moment.

Why did that guy who was breathing in the cave suddenly wake up...?

ah……

Is it because Zeng Tao stepped into the cave just now?

But Mimi obviously entered earlier.

Is it because Zeng Tao is a survivor, so the guy inside reacted?

"...Don't move, let me try."

With that said, Xu Xin stepped directly into the cave.

"—"

The moment he stepped into the cave, the sound of breathing in the cave increased significantly!

Immediately afterwards, another "hissing" sound, similar to a gas leak, came from the depths of the cave.

The sound is so small that it would be impossible for him to hear it if it weren't for hearing augmentation.

really……!

If the survivors enter this passage, something will happen!

No wonder Keke didn't let him in!

"Oh!"

Ke Ke was startled by Xu Xin's sudden step into the cave, and cried out.

It immediately jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder, and its little paws hugged his ankles, trying to pull him out.

"Okay, okay, let's go out."

Xu Xin took a step back and exited the hole.

"Xu Xin, I...shall we go in and have a look..."

At this time, Zeng Tao who was beside him suddenly spoke.

Her eyes were fixed on the inside of the cave, and she was about to step directly into the cave.

At the same time, the same situation happened to Silver King Mimi and Ah Fu.

"Calm down!" Xu Xin immediately yelled, and then wanted to reach out to grab Zeng Tao, but thinking that he couldn't hold him back at all, he immediately chopped Zeng Tao's head with a knife.

"Ah..." Zeng Tao immediately responded.

Naturally, she would not be hurt by a knife, but just touched the place where Xu Xin hit, and looked into the cave with some reluctance: "Well, actually... I feel that there must be something good in this cave of."

"Even if there are good things, they are not what we can get now."

Xu Xin frowned.

"Oh!"

Coco's performance was unprecedentedly tense.

He looked down.

Ke Ke is still holding her ankle and pulling it away from the hole.

"Boom!"

"Let's go quickly." Xu Xin also had a bad feeling in her heart, and said immediately.

He glanced at the hole, and then gave up the idea of ​​blocking the hole.

This hole is too big, it can't be blocked at all!

Let's stay away from here for now!

"I really want to go...Okay, okay!" Zeng Tao glanced at the cave again, and then opened his eyes, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Xin immediately looked into the cave.

With his enhanced eyesight, he can see everything in the cave, but there is no change.

"...Well, I seemed to see something shrunk down inside just now?" Zeng Tao was a little puzzled, "Maybe, I misread it?"

...Whether you read it wrong or not, you can't stay here any longer.

Xu Xin took a last look at the cave, resisted the urge to shoot a few explosive crossbows into it, retreated tens of meters, then turned around and left.

Several people turned around again, and then began to return the same way.

It was only then that Xu Xin realized that there was not even a single red light spot on the map within a few kilometers around this cave!

In the feeling of combining Zeng Tao and Jishou just now...

Could it be that the mutated creatures and beasts around here were all attracted into this cave?

Xu Xin glanced at Ke Ke, who was lying on his shoulders, with his big tail on his chest, and his small head facing the back, staring at the cave all the time.

If this little guy hadn't frantically stopped him, he would definitely have entered it to explore.

But the little guy's attitude directly made him retreat bravely.

After scratching the little guy's big tail, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, maybe the little guy saved his life again.

"Ah, it's so boring!" Zeng Tao held up the big knife, and walked, hitting the ground one after another, dissatisfied, "I haven't tried my new weapon in actual combat until now! Why are there so many people around here? Not a single beast!"

"Okay, wouldn't it be better if there is no danger."

Xu Xin looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sun has completely set.

The sky is full of stars.

...there is no moon.

Another moonless night.

Or go back to the tree house as soon as possible.

Xu Xin looked back at the direction of the cave for the last time, and then turned onto the wolf.

"Let's go back as soon as possible."

"Okay..." Zeng Tao was not in high spirits, and let Xu Xin put her into the bracelet.

Silver King quickly brought him back.

Xu Xin released Zeng Tao, promised her that she would make her giant knife soon, and coaxed her back.

Sitting on the sofa, he began to check the situation on the World Channel and the Alliance Channel.

"...Yo. District 23 and District 5 have also formed an alliance."

Because they could only form an alliance with one area before, the 23rd and 5th districts had been waiting for the reply from the 188th district, but after the 188th district and the 1st district formed an alliance, the two regions no longer hesitated and directly formed an alliance with each other.

He looked out of the window, and sure enough, another larger purple-black arch bridge crossed the sky, connecting two distant areas together.

World Channel is also very lively.

"It's over, it's getting dark, and it's snowing again!"

"Oh my god, this time I'm really going to be buried in the snow!"

"What's going on! Why did you unlock three teleportation arrays in one day today!"

"I thought today would be over..."

"The last moment, those who have the ability to unlock, have basically unlocked it..."

"Bosses, work harder... I'm about to freeze to death..."

"It's too cold in the tree house! Only the surrounding area of ​​the fireplace can maintain a normal temperature...I'm going to sleep by the fireplace tonight..."

"Sleeping by the fireplace, you won't get carbon monoxide poisoning, will you?"

"It's better than freezing to death!"

"Hey, although it doesn't snow in our area, it should still be cold... When will this cold winter end..."

"It seems that a few of us have froze to death in our area...it won't be my turn next time..."

Currently, 28 of the 30 formations have been unlocked, leaving only the last two.

But these two, but there has been no news.

I don't know what happened to Jinyue, it was already dark.

As for the alliance channel, it was discussing another matter.

"Today we lost more than a dozen people in the first district!"

"What's going on!"

"I said it all, let you not go out, just stay in the tree house and wait for this cold winter to pass. This is what our explorers say. Look, isn't there a single person in our 188 District? ?”

"No, I know one person who died today. He was very timid. As long as there is no mission, he can't get out of the tree house? It shouldn't matter whether he is in the tree house or not?"

"Uh... Maybe it's because our tree house in District 188 is stronger, so it's okay?"

"...What the hell about me!"

"Explorers, hurry up and put something on the alliance trading platform, everyone is an alliance, we want the same treatment!"

They are all discussing the mysterious death of a recent survivor.

Perhaps, these survivors were all transported to an extremely dangerous place like Shi Wanyun?

I don't understand, but luckily the people in District 188 are fine today.

They originally planned to take advantage of the last period of time to let survivors who were close to Niu Fugui's activated teleportation array and wanted to join them come over.

But the death of hundreds of people in District 1 reminded them.

Especially after learning about Shi Wanyun, everyone in the explorers also unanimously decided not to let them come over.

Anyway, the teleportation formation has always been there, there will always be a chance in the future, there is no need to take the risk now.

Today, most of the survivors in District 188 stayed in the tree house obediently. As a result, none of them died.

good.

Judging from the world channel, other people who activated the large teleportation array area died more or less inexplicably.

Therefore, now all over the world, no matter in areas where it is still snowing or areas where it is not snowing, they are all working together to end this cold winter as soon as possible!

The unknown danger is the most terrifying!

At this time, outside the tree house, there was a condensed sound from the exit of the teleportation array.

Xu Xin looked out the window, and saw Jin Yue jumping out of the purple-black vortex, and then her legs softened and she knelt on the ground because of the side effect of the portal.

Goldmoon is back!

Xu Xin immediately glanced at the leaderboard, and found Jin Yue's name from the end.

She climbed successfully!

So fast!

I'm afraid it wasn't... it only took three hours!

Xu Xin immediately swung down from the tree house.

Jin Yue had already taken Qi Xuefei's pills at this time, eliminated the side effects, and stood up.

"The task is completed." Seeing Xu Xin approaching, she showed a faint smile and said.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Xin nodded and said, "Go and rest, and leave the rest to me."

The shortcut to teleporting a large array is easy.

It is a spiral staircase climbing up in the snow peak.

Just find two more people.

"Actually, I'm not tired..."

At this time, footsteps came from the jungle, and Xu Xin turned her head to see that it was Lou Fei'er.

"Where did you go?" Xu Xin asked when she saw her slightly frowning and panting.

"I am... ah, Jin Yue, you are back!" Lou Feier raised her eyes and saw Jin Yue, and immediately ran over, "Have you encountered any danger?"

"Dangerous?" Jin Yue was a little puzzled, then shook her head and said, "No, my climb went smoothly this time."

"Oh..." Lou Feier was thoughtful.

"What did you find?" Xu Xin asked.

"Hmm." Lou Fei'er nodded, "During this time, I have been focusing on observing the surrounding situation, because I was a little concerned about the words of the person who just came, and in the end, I really found something abnormal!"

"When I was looking out the window, I saw a short figure flashing behind the tree! I immediately chased after it!" She pointed to the jungle.

"Didn't catch up?"

"Well... But it's not nothing." Lou Fei'er touched the backpack, took out something from it, and handed it to Xu Xin.

"This is...?" Xu Xin was a little surprised while holding the orb that exuded white light.

Treehouse core?

"What I found at the place where the figure disappeared should be what it missed." Lou Fei'er explained.

Looking at the core of the tree house in his hand, his head was slightly unable to turn.

What's the meaning?

"At least it can prove that I'm not mistaken, someone must be there just now!" Lou Fei'er glanced back at the jungle, with her hands folded around her chest, "This guy, I'm afraid he wants to use the core of the tree house for something, but he noticed that I I found it, and then ran for my life in a panic, and dropped the core of the tree house there."

That should be the case.

Xu Xin also frowned slightly.

What is this trying to do?

He thought of what happened to Shi Wanyun.

Could it be that……

He glanced at the bare jungle.

"Let's talk about this matter later." Xu Xin put away the core of the tree house, "Let's talk about activating the teleportation array that Jinyue climbed first."

"Leave this to me, count me in!" Lou Feier immediately said, "I want to see what the shortcut looks like, and my speed is fast enough."

"Then I'll take a look nearby." Jin Yue said, "Let me scout the nearby enemies instead."

also good.

Jin Yue doesn't seem to want to rest now.

"Don't go too far. It's still very dangerous in the jungle now."

"Um."

After thinking for a while, Xu Xin called Zeng Tao again.

"Ah! Lou Feier!" Seeing Lou Feier, Zeng Tao immediately rushed over, trying to throw her to the ground.

But Lou Fei'er dodged lightly, and she missed it.

"Why are you hiding!" Zeng Tao glared at Lou Fei'er, "I want you to know what the price is for molesting me when I'm weak!"

"Forget it little one, you can't even touch me." Lou Fei'er teased.

"you……!"

"Okay." Xu Xin stopped the farce between the two, and then said to Zeng Tao, "Aren't you feeling bored? Go with Lou Fei'er and unlock that snow mountain formation."

"Unlock the Snow Mountain Formation? Okay!" Zeng Tao's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed.

After explaining everything, Xu Xin returned to the tree house.

Qin Fu's green light spot was still in the hilly resource area.

And he still can't get in touch.

Xu Xin was now basically sure that this guy was involved in some kind of activity.

He took a break and contacted the rest of the Explorers.

Because he has not replied to the other powerhouses in District 1, they have now contacted Ji Chaoyang and expressed their goodwill.

From the current point of view, although the word "alliance" is not enough to dispel the doubts between the two regions, it is much easier to talk about than when it had nothing to do with it before.

Li Wenxi also sent a voice message, saying that her furnace has accelerated the smelting speed of the meteorite, and it can be smelted tomorrow morning at the latest.

Shi Wanyun still had no news, and Xu Xin didn't dare to send her messages to disturb her. Fortunately, her name is still lit.

Taking advantage of his spare time, he came to the art room and started the blue-level art carving.

Immersed in art, he didn't know how long it had been before his watch vibrated.

It was Zeng Tao's voice: "We've reached the top, please let Jinyue come over quickly, the three of us activate the formation! Hurry up, hurry up, the last one! Don't be snatched away by others!"

The last one?

Xu Xin looked out the window.

During the time he was carving, another large formation was activated.

Their big formation, as long as it is activated, will be the thirtieth one!

Jin Yue didn't have a watch, and she was patrolling outside the tree house. Xu Xin went down immediately, found her with her extraordinary hearing and eyesight, and told her the situation.

Jin Yue immediately activated the teleportation array and passed.

Soon, a few minutes later, the last purple-black beam of light rose into the sky.

But at the same time, the mysterious voice sounded again in the ears of all survivors in the world.

[The 30th snow mountain teleportation array has been unlocked, and the conditions have been met! 】

[From now on, the winter is over! 】

Winter is finally over!
