Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"You don't need to think about such complicated things, do you?" Li Wenxi felt that Xu Xin was thinking too much, and speculated, "Maybe, the high temperature last night was the precursor of this insect infestation? The high temperature The impact is actually this bug swarm?"

It's possible what she said.

"Let's be more cautious. Take precautions and prevent dangers. Naturally, we must consider the most serious situation."

Xu Xin also felt that there should be nothing else tonight.

Otherwise, even he may not be able to survive the danger, and the other survivors will be completely chilled immediately.

Of course, he still has an idea about the disasters suffered by other survivors.

Perhaps, the degree of disaster on his side is much more serious than that of ordinary survivors.

This situation...

Should be very possible.

"Do you still remember the beast tide in the cold winter?" Xu Xin asked Li Wenxi, who was teasing Coco in her arms, turning her head.

"The beast tide in the cold winter? Of course I remember!" Li Wenxi raised her head and said with a smile, "You saved my life back then, and my first kiss was also there!"

"Haha, then, do you still remember the scale of that beast horde?"

"Scale? It's huge! Uh, no, I remember... It seems that everyone is different?"

During the last animal swarm, the more people there were, the more serious the damage would be.

Not long after the cold winter came, before the giant stone pillar peak rose from the ground, they were once attacked by a blizzard and mutant creatures.

Survivors with parasitic treehouses like their fellow Explorers are under attack by hordes of mutated creatures.

And those survivors who were alone and whose tree house level was very low basically did not receive any strong attacks.

They have never seen a beast tide at all.

Therefore, at that time, everyone in District 188 was basically safe and sound relying on the ordinary tree house heavy crossbow sold by the explorers.

Maybe this time too.

In order to confirm his conjecture, when he went to check on Li Wenxi's situation just now, he paid a little attention.

Although there were swarms of flying insects and reptiles rushing towards the flames, the swarms of insects in the jungle were not very dense.

Even compared to the insect swarms around him that have been mostly cleaned up, there are much fewer.

On his side, there were nearly thirty people gathered, which was a very large number.

According to his guess, his side should have suffered more serious disasters.

that's the truth.

Therefore, he felt that his guess was correct.

The more people there are, the deeper the degree of pest infestation will be. Here, he needs to endure the disaster that nearly thirty people should bear.

Where there are no people, the degree of insect infestation is significantly reduced. Even if his tree house is only about 20 kilometers away from Li Wenxi's tree house, the degree of change in the intensity of insect infestation is very obvious.

Hope my guess is right.

Otherwise, with this level of insect swarm, the survival rate of other survivors is very low.

Xu Xin told Li Wenxi about this conjecture.

"Ah! That's right!" Li Wenxi suddenly said, "It was indeed like this last time. Then this time seems very likely, after all, last time was the first beast horde after the cold winter, and this time, it was the scorching heat. The first... um... bug swarm? Almost!"

Li Wenxi's statement has a strange angle, but it also makes sense.

From this point of view, they may not need to worry too much about the survival of other survivors.

Let's take care of themselves first.

Of course, despite the seriousness of the disaster, it comes with greater opportunities.

Although he didn't know what chance he would have in this pest plague.

In the last beast tide, their explorers obtained a large amount of materials, which made them fatter.

But this time...

Those bugs flew into the fire and burned to ashes directly, leaving him with nothing, not even a points mall.

"However, thinking about it this way, I feel relieved." Li Wenxi hugged Keke in her arms and rubbed Keke's belly, "There is no one in my tree house, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right?" .”

"Hey..." Coco was rubbed very comfortably, squinting her eyes to enjoy it.

"Well, I've checked over there too, and the situation is much better than here, so don't worry too much." Xu Xin pinched Li Wenxi's cheek.

Li Wenxi's current increase in affinity is really unbearable...

calm down.

It's too dangerous tonight, so don't do that kind of thing.

"That's good, that's good! I'm relieved, then I'll go down and play with them!"

Lou Feier, Zeng Tao, and the others were all below, and Li Wenxi immediately stuffed Ke Ke into Xu Xin's arms, and then ran downstairs.

There was laughter downstairs, very relaxed and cheerful.

Compared with the situation of other survivors, his place can really be regarded as heaven.

As long as he can withstand the invasion of disaster.

"Hey." Coco's little paws grabbed Xu Xin's hand, as if he wanted him to continue rubbing its belly like Li Wenxi did.

Xu Xin smiled slightly and started rubbing.

"Hmm..."

At the same time, a map emerged in his mind.

On the map, most of the jungle around his tree house is covered by a layer of red mist with different colors and rhythms. The closer to the tree house, the darker the color of the red mist.

These red mist are made up of the tiny red dots of these insect swarms.

The color near the campfire is the darkest, and the surrounding red mist seems to continue to gather near the campfire.

The bonfire outside was already burning more and more vigorously.

Of course, it is said to be dark in color, but it is just a faint red color. If you don't pay attention carefully, you can hardly see the color.

This also shows that the individual strength of these bugs is indeed very weak.

By the way, where did these bugs come from?

In general, swarms...

There will always be... female worms, right?

Xu Xin saw the red dot representing Qin Fu on the map that was hovering seven or eight hundred meters away from his tree house.

According to what this guy said before, could it be that he discovered...

At this time, on the ground, an egg rolled in front of him.

It's that giant egg.

"Huh!" Seeing the giant egg, Ke Ke wanted to pounce on it to play, but stopped the moment he was about to pounce, "Huh?"

Ke Ke looked at the giant egg and blinked: "Huh...?!"

Ke Ke's movements and voice interrupted Xu Xin's thinking, and made him look down: "What's the matter, what's the matter..."

His voice stopped abruptly. Looking at the giant egg, his eyes slowly widened.

On the shell of the giant egg, a thin crack appeared.

Different from the cracks that were cracked by the frost before, this crack seems to show a special pattern, although he doesn't know what it is, but...

At least it's definitely not broken, but...

It's about to break the shell!

This egg is about to crack!

"Hey! Hey!" Coco also yelled in surprise.

It jumped off the sofa and walked to the giant egg. It was no longer as rude as before, but carefully touched the crack on the giant egg with its little paw.

The giant egg didn't move, let it touch.

"Huh?" Coco pushed lightly again.

The giant egg was like a tumbler, it leaned back a bit, then swayed back, then swayed a few times, and then stopped moving.

Xu Xin was a little puzzled.

It... what does it mean?

By the way, mind reading!

Xu Xin immediately activated his mind reading function.

"Outside...go...outside!"

The giant egg made a very immature voice, and the words in the heart were not clear, like a baby practicing pronunciation.

"You seem to be going outside?" Xu Xin asked.

It's sixty to seventy degrees outside now.

"Think..." The giant egg shook.

"Huh?" Ke Ke stretched out her small paws and pushed the giant egg again, making it shake more violently.

"Ke Ke, don't touch it!" Xu Xin picked up Ke Ke's neck and threw it on the sofa.

"Hey!" Coco immediately waved her little paw to express her dissatisfaction, but she didn't continue to make trouble, but lay down on the armrest of the sofa, curiously looking at the crack that looked like a pattern on the shell of the giant egg.

The dome is still shaking.

"I want to go... outside!"

The childish voice became slightly clearer.

"Why?" Xu Xin asked again.

It's dangerous outside now, and it's still so hot, he doesn't dare to put the giant egg outside.

"It's... hot outside!"

The dome shook more violently.

hot?

ah……!

Xu Xin seemed to know what was going on now.

The incubation of giant eggs may require a higher temperature!

At the beginning in the low temperature environment, the giant egg suffered very serious damage, and the small creatures in the egg almost died directly.

This egg can't stand too low a temperature because it loves heat!

That's why, after the scorching heat came, cracks appeared in the eggshell!

Is it going to break its shell in this scorching heat?

"Okay, I'll take you out!"

Xu Xin immediately decided to take it out.

As for location, he thought of a good place.

Below his tree house, the cave of the pangolin family!

He went to visit once after the scorching heat, and the pangolin family had already expanded the cave very deeply.

It seems that the tree house also knew that there was a family of pangolins living under its feet, or with the help of the vine heart, the roots of the tree house changed slightly during this period, revealing a place for the pangolin family to dig down.

Therefore, the cave of Aifei and the two little guys is now very deep.

Although the temperature deep underground also rose during this scorching heat, it was much worse than the sun-exposed surface.

It's cooler, like an underground garage in summer.

Moreover, there is an advantage in the pangolin's cave, that is, the cooler it goes down, but the hotter it gets closer to the ground.

The dome is there, and you can also choose a location that suits its temperature.

In addition, Aifei has long been the mother of two babies. Although pangolins are mammals and don't lay eggs, they should be able to help.

After all, of all the people and beasts around him, only Aifei is his mother.

He immediately picked up the giant egg with a slight crack in its shell, and came under the tree house.

Because there are bonfires in all directions, the temperature outside is really ridiculously high now. Even he can feel uncomfortable when the temperature is 70 degrees.

But the giant egg jumped in Xu Xin's arms.

It seemed to prefer the current temperature to the temperature in the tree house.

Xu Xin immediately slid into the pangolin's cave with it.

At this time, the original cave space has become the first floor of the cave, and Aifei and the two little pangolins are not on this floor.

The temperature here, bending from the entrance to the end, the temperature dropped from more than 60 degrees to about 50 degrees.

At this time, the egg in his arms jumped most happily.

It seems that although the dome prefers the temperature of about 70 degrees outside to the temperature of more than 20 degrees indoors, 70 degrees is still too hot.

It prefers temperatures around fifty degrees to the seventy degrees outside.

At this time, under Xu Xin's feet was a new entrance that was newly opened and continued downward.

He slid down with the giant egg.

The temperature on the second floor is already less than forty degrees.

It's about thirty-five or six degrees. Compared with the outside, the temperature here is already very suitable.

Um……

When he came here before, he still cared about the temperature, but now it seems...

For other survivors, digging holes in the ground and living in holes seems... also a good way to escape the heat?

It depends on whether they can think of it.

At least he didn't think of this method himself.

However, this method also has disadvantages, that is, it is basically impossible to see what is happening on the ground.

If something happened to the tree house, the people below would probably not know about it.

In his arms, the giant egg moved closer to the original direction. It obviously didn't like it here, and felt that it was more comfortable up there.

Looks like I should take it up there.

At this time, three pangolins were also lying on their stomachs inside the cave.

The two little pangolins have grown up again, and I'm afraid they will be bigger than Aifei in a few days.

However, at this time they were still in a deep sleep and did not wake up.

Concubine Ai was awake.

Seeing Xu Xin coming down with an egg, Ai Fei got up and crawled over, yelling softly.

"Aifei, this egg is about to hatch, I will put it in the nest above you, where the temperature is suitable for it."

The giant egg in his arms rolled from Xu Xin's arms to the ground, and the hard crust fell to the ground unscathed, as if it wasn't the one that had a crack on it.

The giant egg rolled in front of Aifei, and touched it with the egg body, which was regarded as a greeting.

Coming out of the burrow, Xu Xin looked around.

There are fewer and fewer insects fighting the fire.

But it's not because the bugs have learned to behave, but because the bugs around them have basically been wiped out.

It seems that although I don't know if they will stop fighting the fire in the future, at least for now, this group of stupid bugs is nothing to worry about.

Back at the tree house, Xu Xin sent a voice message to Qin Fu.

The voice was connected almost immediately.

"What's the situation over there? How did I see you wandering there?" Xu Xin asked.

From the very beginning, Qin Fu's red dot has been lingering at a distance of seven or eight hundred meters from here.

It's been a long time and I don't know what to do there.

"Boss, this place is very strange. I'm sure there is something abnormal here, but... it seems that this area is quite abnormal." Qin Fu's muffled voice came.

He was still in the swarm, covering himself tightly.

"What do you mean? They are all abnormal?" Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

This is not a good thing.

"That's right. I can feel that the trees and plants here are a little abnormal. They seem a little sick."

It was nearly a kilometer away from Xu Xin's side.

Therefore, the bugs there are relatively rare. At least on the map, only a few areas can be seen with a faint red mist, and the red mist in most areas is basically invisible.

Sick trees?

"Sick, isn't it because of pests?"

"No." Qin Fu immediately said, "Impossible. Because only this area is like this, and only this area has problems. These trees give me the feeling that there are... unclean things here. Alas ...I don’t want to look for it anymore, or I’ll go back.”

Qin Fu wanted to show off.

Unclean things are okay.

Said the same as hell.

"...you can try walking fifty meters to your northwest direction."

"Northwest? Okay, let me try. What's wrong over there?" Qin Fu asked as he walked.

Xu Xin was just relying on feeling, because the red mist on the map was thicker.

"I've turned here before, there should be nothing. Huh?"

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

"Has the ground softened?" Qin Fu's voice came with some doubts.

Beside a thick tree, Qin Fu, who was tightly wrapped, squatted down and touched the land.

Really soft.

Compared with other places where the land was scorched into hard lumps by the poisonous sun before the jungle flourished, this place is indeed very abnormal.

Most importantly, it wasn't like this when he walked through this land before.

He stood up, took two steps forward, and...

There is nothing underfoot.

"I……"

He sank straight into the soft dirt and was out of sight.

Other survivors will not be affected by such a strong disaster. I originally wanted to talk about it after the communication is restored, but everyone seems to think that the degree of disaster is too serious and other survivors will be completely cooled, so I will explain it first OVO
