Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Xu Xin's head was still half asleep and half awake, a little confused: "...lost contact with the outside world?"

"For some reason, I can only communicate with you and the survivors living in my tree house. Even the few people over there, I can no longer communicate through the tree house system."

...?

What?

ah? !

Xu Xin woke up instantly, and sat up abruptly from the bed: "Can you only contact me?"

"Hmm..." Li Wenxi turned over on the side, turned her white back and hips to him, and continued to sleep.

"That's right, hurry up and figure out the situation on your side, I'll try again, and I'll contact you later..."

With that said, Ji Chaoyang hung up the call.

Xu Xin quickly scratched the projection of the watch.

The first thing I saw was a few channels that had been completely grayed out.

[World Channel], [Alliance Channel], and [Regional Channel], the three major channels have been completely grayed out, and they can't even be clicked into.

this……!

This is the first time this situation has been encountered since the opening of the regional channel!

It is true that there have been situations where communication was not possible before, but that was because they were in a relatively special location and the signal of the watch was poor, which caused them to be isolated from the tree house system, so they could not receive information.

Moreover, at that time, the channel could be opened, it was simply that the signal was poor and could not be received.

It's completely different from the current situation.

Now it seems that the entire channel is disabled!

He immediately stood up and looked out the window.

Although it's only five o'clock, it's already dawn outside.

The days are indeed long enough now.

"this……"

Seeing the green jungle outside, Xu Xin was a little surprised.

The jungle...recovered?

Yesterday, under the direct sunlight, the bare trees and the newly sprouted shoots on the ground dried up and died directly, so the jungle was still bare when it entered night yesterday.

But now, there is a thriving scene in the jungle.

Moreover, because it is a new shoot, compared to the dark green in the jungle before, it is now a new green, which makes people feel much more comfortable.

That is, most of the field of vision is blocked by a large cluster of tree crowns.

"Huh...?" Ke Ke was woken up by Xu Xin's movement, got up, and rubbed her eyes with her little paw.

"Ke Ke, is there any danger around now?" Xu Xin hugged Ke Ke directly, walked to the window and asked.

"...Huh?" Ke Ke, who had just woken up, couldn't turn her head around, and shook her head after a moment of daze, "Huh."

He was slightly relieved.

At least for now there is little danger around the treehouse.

"Hmm...? What's the matter?" Li Wenxi was also woken up by him, and opened her eyes slightly, "Is it time to get up..."

"It's okay, it's only five o'clock, you can sleep for a while."

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Li Wenxi closed her eyes again.

Coco also climbed to the head of the bed to sleep again.

Xu Xin put on her clothes and ran to the living room.

Silver King Mimi and the others were still sleeping. When they saw Xu Xin coming, they just raised their eyes and continued to sleep.

He immediately turned on the tree house screen.

After all, the problem discovered before may only be a problem on the watch, and the system of the tree house itself may not have problems.

But to his disappointment, even the system of the tree house itself, the three major channels were all dimmed.

He immediately opened the private message.

... No wonder Ji Zhaoyang said that he can only contact himself.

In his private messages, the names of most of the people have been darkened.

Instead of turning gray, the color dimmed.

He tried to click on these dimmed names to send private messages, but there was no response.

However, there are still some people whose names are lit up.

Lou Fei'er, Ma Hongwei, Zeng Tao, Qin Fu, Jin Yue, and those who live on Ma Hongwei's side can still be contacted.

Apart from them, there are only two people whose names are fully lit and can be contacted.

One is Ji Chaoyang, and the other is Li Wenxi.

There was a glimmer of understanding in his heart.

The reason why he can contact these two people is probably because the tree house of the two of them is very close to his own tree house.

The distance between the two of them and their tree house is about 20 kilometers, and they are the nearest neighbors in the district.

Perhaps it was because of this that I was able to contact them.

Xu Xin returned to the bedroom, squeezed Li Wenxi's face, and woke her up.

"Ugh... why...!"

She sat up, still in a daze, leaning into Xu Xin's arms and trying to fall asleep again.

"Get up, the sun is drying your ass. And, something happened."

"...Is something wrong?" Li Wenxi became sober in an instant, and opened her eyes to look at him.

Xu Xin briefly explained the situation to her, and then directly initiated a voice call with her.

"There is such a thing?!" She was completely awake, and looked out the window, "Why? Because it was too hot, the signal was lost?"

However, what both of them felt very strange was that the voice on Xu Xin's side was indeed connected, but Li Wenxi's watch did not vibrate, and there was no message notification.

The two looked at each other.

What's happening here?

Li Wenxi raised his watch and flicked it, and the projection was cast.

"Ah? This..." She stared at the projection with her eyes wide open.

"...Is that so?"

Although the projection was indeed cast, but...

Above, it was indeed a dark gray.

That's right, it's just a black gray with nothing.

No interface, no options, nothing.

On the black and gray, there are still light spots beating from time to time, like the snowflake screen of an old TV.

Li Wenxi tried to jog and swipe a few times, but there was no response.

"What the hell is going on here?" She muttered to herself, and clicked a few times in disbelief.

Xu Xin frowned slightly.

Does his watch work?

After thinking for a while, an idea came to his mind.

He immediately sent a voice message to Ji Chaoyang.

The other side connected immediately: "How is your side?"

"I can only contact you and Wenxi."

"...It seems that my guess should be right." Ji Zhaoyang's voice sank slightly, "The range that our tree house can communicate with has been greatly reduced for some reason. Now, we can only communicate with survivors who are very close. gone."

"That should be the case." Xu Xin also nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Qi Xuefei is with you now, right? Can you contact her?"

"She hasn't woken up yet, but her name on my side is dim, and I can't establish contact with her tree house. Her tree house is still too far away from us. I can't even contact Li Wenxi, let alone her. Treehouse."

"……really."

It seems that whether they can be contacted has nothing to do with the position of the watch, but only with the position of the tree house.

but……

"Sister Xuefei's watch can be used?" Li Wenxi asked suddenly, "On my side, the watch can't be used."

"...the watch is not working?"

Ji Zhaoyang was not surprised that Li Wenxi was by Xu Xin's side, but he was very concerned about what Li Wenxi said: "What does it mean that the watch cannot be used?"

"It's like this..." Xu Xin explained.

"That is to say, you can't establish contact with your own tree house?" Ji Zhaoyang directly found the point, and then said, "I'll call Xue Fei up to have a look."

With that said, he hung up the phone.

Li Wenxi was a little restless, and then stood up abruptly: "No, I have to go back to the tree house to have a look! By the way, you can't even use the portal, right?"

"Wait a minute and see what's going on with Ji Chaoyang."

"All right……"

At this time, a prompt sound suddenly came from Xu Xin's ear.

[It is detected that the decoration degree of the tree house is greater than 1000, and today's random increase is obtained: high temperature resistance, the effect lasts for one day, and the second increase can be selected in the historical increase. 】

[At the same time, you can choose a survivor who sleeps in the tree house for three hours, and he will get a random increase. 】

Xu Xin's eyes lit up slightly.

High temperature resistance!

This random increase...!

new!

Moreover, you can tell what it means just by looking at the name!

Sure enough, if the decoration degree of the tree house exceeds 1000 points, there will be a new increase.

It's just in time!

His random increase is really so appropriate every time!

only……

Why does he feel a little cold?

He quickly clicked on the [Random Amplification] option to check the ability of [High Temperature Resistance].

[High temperature resistance: Increase the maximum temperature that the survivor can withstand by 30 degrees, and increase the minimum temperature that can be tolerated by 20 degrees. Survivors will thrive in hot environments, but will also be more afraid of cold environments. 】

?

What's the situation?

Do you still have this ability...

Double-edged sword?

The maximum tolerable temperature has been increased by 30 degrees, that is to say, he can perform strenuous exercise at a temperature of up to 40 degrees without heatstroke, but now it is 70 degrees.

For the current situation, it is indeed a very useful ability.

However, there are still disadvantages.

His minimum bearable temperature has also been raised, and it has been raised by a full twenty degrees.

To put it simply, the temperature in the tree house is about twenty-four or five degrees, but for him now, it feels about the same as four or five degrees.

He is now wearing a simple casual outfit bought from the points mall, basically without any insulation effect, so now he feels...

so cold!

This ability is really a double-edged sword.

However, it doesn't hurt too much.

After all, if it’s cold, wear more clothes.

He directly put on the blue-level leather armor set that he hadn't used for a long time.

The blue-level leather armor itself has a pretty good heat preservation effect. When they first met Ji Chaoyang and Li Wenxi in the season of falling leaves, they were wearing leather armor.

At that time, the temperature was in the single digits.

So he has no problem wearing this outfit indoors now, and it's easy to move around.

"Why are you wearing leather armor all of a sudden?" Li Wenxi glanced at him, and then said with bright eyes, "I don't think I've seen you wearing leather armor much."

"There's something wrong with my random booster, but it's harmless." Xu Xin said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I have a surprise for you."

"Surprise?" Li Wenxi was a little curious, "What surprise?"

Xu Xin saw the survivors he could choose in the [Random Amplification] interface.

Optional survivors: Li Wenxi, Qin Fu, Zeng Tao, Li Yajun, Niu Fugui...

Followed by a series of names.

They were all survivors who lived in his tree house last night.

He can only choose one to grant a random boost.

However, I feel that this number should increase as the degree of decoration increases in the future.

He directly chose Li Wenxi.

"Huh?" Li Wenxi's eyes widened in an instant, "Oh? What? Ah? How can I... Random increase?"

"How? What kind of increase..."

Before Xu Xin finished speaking, she felt that Li Wenxi in front of her had changed.

Become... very attractive.

Just waking up with messy hair, wide-open almond eyes, thin lips that look very soft...

There is also the delicate body that is now under the thin quilt with no strands of it.

For some reason, it became very attractive.

"Is it...affinity boost? Ah, it's the affinity boost that made you very attractive before, right?" Li Wenxi looked at her hands, a little surprised, "I can actually get a random boost?"

She immediately turned her head to look at Xu Xin: "Is it the new ability of your tree house? This is great too! Do I just want to be with you in the future... Why are you looking at me like this, what do you want... ...?"

She immediately felt Xu Xin's eyes that were gradually full of aggression, tightening the quilt around her body: "Is this affinity boost so strong...ah!"

Xu Xin pushed her down on the bed directly.

"Don't, don't! There are people next door!"

……Grass.

"He hasn't woken up yet, just keep your voice down so you don't wake him up." Xu Xin couldn't help but whispered in her ear.

"No, no!" Li Wenxi pushed him, her face flushed, and begged, "Let's talk about it after he leaves!"

"...Okay, okay." Xu Xin didn't want the next door to hear certain voices, so she could only resist her desire and get up.

Of course, before he got up, he still kissed the person under him until his whole body went limp.

... In the future, no one should live next door.

People who come to live in his tree house in the future will live below me!

really uncomfortable...

Li Wenxi blushed and quickly got dressed.

Xu Xin kept looking at her, which made her a little uncomfortable: "Why are you watching me put on clothes..."

"...Is this the affinity increase?"

This is really strong.

Now, as long as he looks at Li Wenxi, he feels a kind of...

The feeling of not wanting to be separated from her for a second.

It should be that the relationship is very close, and the ability to increase affinity can be well displayed.

This increase in affinity is really amazing.

At this time, his watch vibrated, it was Ji Zhaoyang's voice.

He took a deep breath to calm down, and then connected the voice: "How is it?"

"Xue Fei's watch can't be used either."

Is that really the case?

"So what's going on here." Li Wenxi came over, "Why doesn't the watch work anymore?"

Xu Xin couldn't help pinching her face: "I feel that the connection between your watch and the tree house should be disconnected. It's like the connection between your tree house and other tree houses has been disconnected."

"Huh? I don't really understand..." Li Wenxi said in a daze.

"I speculate like this," Ji Zhaoyang's voice sounded again on the other side of the voice, "Now, the contact range of each tree house has been greatly reduced. According to the existing data, the contact range of the tree house should be between 20 kilometers and Between forty kilometers."

"And the watch needs to be connected to the tree house for control. Xuefei and I went back to her tree house just now. Near her tree house, her watch can be used, but mine can't be used. That is Said, the current watch also has a connection distance with the tree house, it cannot go too far beyond the tree house, otherwise it cannot be used.”

Xu Xin nodded slightly.

This is basically consistent with his thinking.

"The question now is," Xu Xin said, "why does the treehouse's contact range shrink, and is it affected by something?"

He looked out the window, and opened it.

Heat blows in from the window.

The sun was so strong that it shone on the green leaves, and it felt like it was making a sizzle sound.

He stretched out his hand, letting the sun shine on his hand.

Although he has high temperature resistance, the sun shining on his body made his skin a little painful, so he quickly took it back.

The sun is so poisonous!

"Now, it's not just a problem of high temperature." Ji Zhaoyang said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, the sun is the culprit of all this. Whether it's high temperature or communication problems, I'm afraid it's all due to the sun!"

...It was this weird sunlight that cut off their communication?
