Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"However, you don't have to worry too much." The woman's tensed face relaxed again, and she smiled, "Everyone here has been baptized, but so far, I haven't heard of anyone who has been turned into a full-grown man. Fluffy monster, so you don't have to worry too much."

"That's it..." Shi Wanyun was slightly relieved.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Relying on this method to restrict the people here, the so-called "master", is definitely not a good person to get along with.

"So, now you can tell me, how did you get here?"

Shi Wanyun hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth.

But that's only half the truth.

"Is such that……"

She told the woman in front of her in detail about her experience from being forced to teleport here.

"I'm actually no match for those high-level mutant creatures outside. You can see this. I was able to come here because of a little bit of luck and the best existence of our group of survivors. My help."

"Oh? The strongest survivor?" The woman was a little interested. "In my opinion, your strength is not too weak. If you are among the first few survivors, there is a high probability that you are already the strongest existence." .”

"...I don't know about you survivors of the previous batches, but among my group of survivors, there are indeed many people who are stronger than me." Shi Wanyun sighed, "If it weren't for the healing medicine they gave me, I can't even make it here."

"Healing medicine?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, touched her waist, and a purple-black light flashed, a backpack appeared in her hand, and she handed it to her, "Your things."

"...Have you seen what's in the backpack?" Shi Wanyun took the backpack and asked softly.

"Well, it's not just me, I also checked the No. 228 that you brought up." The woman said, "However, I didn't find any healing medicine from it."

"Of course, because I've already run out." Shi Wanyun explained softly, "I've been fatally injured three times by those high-level mutant creatures. Without the healing medicines they provided me, I wouldn't be able to enter here at all. .”

"So that's how it is..." The woman nodded, "This can explain why a strength like yours can pass through the area below. Although your strength is strong among survivors at the same stage, compared to the following Those mutated creatures are still far worse. I didn't expect that among your group of survivors, there are people who are proficient in medical treatment... and so on."

The woman frowned slightly: "A fatal injury...can it be healed by taking healing medicine?"

"Well, I don't understand the principle, but as long as you take the pill, your body's injuries will recover quickly." Shi Wanyun explained, "It is indeed a magic medicine. I finally got a few pills, but unfortunately they are all used up. .”

"Is this really something that survivors can make?" The woman was surprised, "You survivors are beyond my imagination."

"...I want to ask, where are my previous clothes?" Shi Wanyun tugged at the clothes she was wearing at this time, "When I came up, the clothes had already been changed."

When she came up, she was wearing a one-piece skirt that reached to her ankles, and she was wearing that one piece all over her body.

So during the baptism before, No. 228 only moved slightly behind her, and her dress slipped off.

But now, the clothes on her body are much more normal. Although it feels empty inside, at least there are up and down.

But this is not her original clothes.

When she came here, she was wearing the purple steel armor that Xu Xin gave her.

And one of the most important pieces of equipment: the Cloak of the Stealth.

Without that piece of equipment, it would be impossible for her to pass through the terrifying area below and come here.

Although here is not necessarily much more normal than below...

"Ah, your clothes, those purple-level armor equipment?"

Speaking of her armor equipment, the woman sighed, "Your equipment is what surprised me the most. You guys haven't been here for long, right? You already have purple-level metal armor, and It's still made of steel."

"Where is that set of armor now?" Shi Wanyun asked.

"What? Do you still want it? It's already tattered, what do you need it for?"

"...That's purple-level armor." Shi Wanyun said softly.

And, it's not too broken, is it? Although there are a few scars, it can still be used as long as it is repaired.

The woman smiled and shook her head: "It's not necessary to be so frugal. Although purple-level armor is indeed rare for you, it is not a scarce thing for us here. You can have it if you want it. Of course , the premise is that you can prove your worth."

Shi Wanyun raised her eyes slightly.

There is no shortage of purple-level resources here?

That's right, the people here are all the survivors of the previous batches, and each of them is the last person who has survived in this world for more than ten years or even decades. For them, purple-level armor and weapons may be It's really nothing.

For them, the purple-grade steel armor they wear may only be regarded as an ordinary worn-out armor that anyone can afford.

Therefore, when No. 228 took off the armor for her, she didn't care about anything, but felt that the clothes were dirty and torn, so she changed quickly, and she couldn't just go to the baptism in the torn clothes.

but……

Haven't they seen that special...

"Then, my equipment is now..."

"When I went there just now, it was still at No. 228." The woman said, "It was dirty, covered with blood and dust, I never took it with me, let her deal with it, maybe she has already dealt with it."

"Processing means..."

"Metal armor is smelted, and leather is directly destroyed. The last thing we need is animal skin."

this……

Shi Wanyun's heart tugged slightly.

That was a purple-level armor that she had never seen before, and she begged for a long time with shame, and she wanted to return it, so it was just disposed of?

Moreover, the special function of the hidden person's cloak...

Really not found?

"What, is there anything special about that equipment? Ah, I see." The woman smiled slightly, "Is it the first set of purple-level armor that you spent all your resources making? It does have some commemorative value, wait a minute You can ask No. 228, maybe she hasn't dealt with it yet."

"I'm still wearing a cloak..." Shi Wanyun hesitated and asked, "Excuse me, is that cloak still there?"

"That cloak with several holes? It's already damaged. It's just a green-level cloak. Is it important?" the woman asked.

Green level?

Shi Wanyun's heart skipped a beat.

Because it was too damaged, it lost its original ability, and its grade dropped to green?

From this point of view, the other party did not see the function of the hidden person's cloak.

"Those equipments were lent to me by the strongest among our group of survivors." Shi Wanyun explained softly, "I will return them to him later, so..."

"Is that so, ah, could it be that..." the woman smiled, "The strongest person who helped you so much...is a man?"

"...It's not what you think." Shi Wanyun knew what the woman wanted to say, and softly denied.

"I haven't said anything yet." The woman teased slightly.

... Anyone can see what you mean.

"So, even though that cloak is only green-level, it's the first piece of equipment the other party gave you, so you've been wearing it all the time, isn't that true?" the woman speculated.

The other party found a good excuse for her.

She wasn't going to tell this woman the function of the Hidden One's cloak.

Although she really wanted to believe this woman, she had to be careful.

The special healing medicine she obtained from Xu Xin, Qi Xuefei of the explorer, was sold on the World Channel, which is not a secret.

They have also displayed purple armor on the trading platform, which is not a secret.

It doesn't matter if she says it out, because the explorer Xu Xin works for doesn't want to hide it.

But the function of the cloak of the occult, she couldn't just say it out.

Before Xu Xin took out this item to help her, they never showed this piece of equipment to the outside world. This should be regarded as Xu Xin's secret equipment.

Xu Xin saved her life, she is her benefactor, she can't tell others about it.

Not even the survivors from the previous sessions, even this seemingly trustworthy woman in front of me.

That was what she had just thought, half truthfully.

She didn't lie, she just hid something.

Neither side should offend, this is the best choice.

"...No." Shi Wanyun tilted her head slightly, and said softly, "It's just that I have to give him back what he gave me, even if it's a piece of green-level equipment."

However, her current appearance, in the eyes of women, is like a cute girl who is still stubborn after being exposed.

The woman looked at her with softer eyes, and she really saw herself fifty years ago in Shi Wanyun: "Since this is the case, I understand your situation pretty well, so you should go back first. Live in the room you woke up in first. I will let No. 228 find you and help you get acquainted with this place."

"Hmm...?" Shi Wanyun was a little surprised, "Don't I need to do anything now?"

"No need for now, you just had your baptism today, you won't be asked to do other things, you should rest well first, you won't be so relaxed tomorrow." The woman said, her eyes suddenly flashed red.

"Can you tell me what I'm going to do tomorrow?" Shi Wanyun was still at a loss.

"That depends on what the master wants. The mission of the new batch of survivors is not given by me, but by the master. I will take you to see him tomorrow."

master...

"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Go back and rest. You can rest in this room if you want, but this is a prison cell, so it won't be very comfortable."

As she spoke, she immediately turned around and walked out the door without even giving Shi Wanyun a chance to ask again.

The door was not closed, but half-open.

Shi Wanyun walked to the door and looked out.

Another corridor.

The difference from before is that this corridor is not a wooden corridor, but a pure metal corridor. The cool metallic luster makes people feel cold.

There are also some closed metal doors on both sides of the corridor, which are obviously prisons.

She glanced back at the metal bed that had just restrained and crippled her, and shook her head, not intending to stay here anymore.

It makes people feel a little uncomfortable here, the bloodstains on the bed are so strange, let's go back to that room first.

She pushed the door and walked out.

There is no road at the left end of the corridor, but the wooden passage at the end can be seen on the other side.

It should be over there.

Shi Wanyun walked over there.

Along the way, the doors of the prisons on both sides were either open or closed.

There was no one in the open prison. Some prisons were similar to hers, with only a metal bed, and some prisons had some torture devices that made her a little creepy.

There was even blood on it!

And there are people in closed prisons.

The prison doors are not soundproof, and Shi Wanyun can hear faint groans, even some miserable cries, from almost every closed prison door.

This made her quicken her pace and quickly left the area.

...Although there are survivors like her everywhere here, she now feels that there is a sense of disobedience everywhere, and she always feels that this is not a place suitable for survival...

Have the survivors in these other areas really lived here for more than ten years or even decades?

In other words, since the survivors of the previous batches have been here for decades, they should have left the earth decades ago, right?

It's not the same age as her.

The woman just now might be from her grandma's generation.

"Ah, you are here!"

At this time, she heard a familiar voice.

Turning his head to look, he saw the face of No. 228.

"The supervisor came here to find me and asked me to take care of your daily life. It seems that she values ​​you very much!" No. 228 was a little excited. Here!"

"Am I going back to the previous room now?"

"No, no, no need, what are you doing living in that kind of crappy room?" No. 228 shook her head so much that it almost knocked her head off, "You go to sleep with me, hey, my status here is not bad Now, my place is big enough for several people, much better than the room you slept in just now."

"Then thank you." Shi Wanyun just wanted to chat more with No. 228, living with her would be much more convenient.

"let's go."

No. 228 led her to his room.

"By the way, that..." Shi Wanyun didn't know how to address her.

"Just call me number 228, your name... I won't ask, anyway, I won't need it in the future."

"...doesn't your supervisor have a name?"

"No one has a name, Mr. Supervisor, she is No. 5, she is very near the front, it sounds very powerful!"

"Number 5……"

Shi Wanyun was a little surprised, No. 5 is too far ahead, so it seems that she is really a senior figure here.

She asked again: "No. 228, how long have you been here?"

"Twenty or thirty years? I can't remember clearly." No. 228 recalled, and then argued, "But I'm not an old woman. Everyone who comes here can live forever, and I'm still very young!"

"Then when you were on Earth, what era were you in? When I left Earth, it was 202x." Shi Wanyun asked her doubts.

"Year 202x? Damn, is it that late!" No. 228 exclaimed, "Year 202x! It feels like the future! When I left, a certain big country had just disintegrated!"

... 199x?

It's really thirty years ago!

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't surprised. After all, wasn't a person more than thirty years ago older than her mother...

As a result, the girl in front of me looked about the same age as her...

This feeling is really a bit strange.

...

"etc!"

Xu Xin suddenly interrupted Shi Wanyun's words, his expression was a little weird.

"You just said that the time when the first few batches of survivors lived was in the past, the year 199x?"

"In the past...? What is this saying? They left the earth decades ago and came here." Shi Wanyun was a little dazed when asked by Xu Xin.

Shi Wanyun didn't understand what Xu Xin said. After all, Xu Xin hadn't told her the truth about this world. In her mind, this was just a special different world.

Xu Xin frowned directly.

His thinking was a little confused.

Aren't the survivors all on the eve of the arrival of the alien invaders?

Aren't they all people from that time, and they were sent to the future, but they were sent in batches, so the arrival time is different?

As a result... the first few survivors were really people from the past? !

"Huh……"

Xu Xin suddenly thought of something he discovered when he first came to this world.

At that time, he climbed down for a long time and came to an underground subway room, and in that room, he found a skeleton.

On the back of the skeleton, some Greek words that he couldn't understand were engraved.

And the production date of the eaten compressed biscuits in the skull package can prove that he is from 198x!

This incident was almost forgotten by him!

And what he has been wondering about is the inexplicably large number of survivors...

this……

What happened to the batches of survivors who came to this world?
