Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

This little pterosaur was very close to Xu Xin and was completely unguarded against him. It closed its eyes and looked like it was enjoying Xu Xin's touch.

"It's so good!" Xu Ying's eyes shone, she squatted down and reached out to touch it, but it turned away and avoided it.

"Yeah -" the little pterosaur flapped its wings and screamed, showing a little resistance to Xu Ying.

"...Why can you touch me but not me?" Xu Ying and Xiao Pterosaur looked at each other with big eyes.

Xu Xin immediately activated his mind-reading ability.

【Do not touch me! 】

[No one except the master can touch me! 】

The little pterosaur called him master.

"Little guy, are you that giant egg?" Xu Xin asked immediately.

"Yeah!" The little pterosaur rubbed Xu Xin with its head.

Boy, it really is!

The dome had already shown signs of hatching during the previous hot summer activities.

Because he has not been here during this period, the task of hatching the dome has been given to the pangolin concubine, and the three pangolins are taken care of by Li Yajun, who has this knowledge and ability.

He has been very busy during this period and has not paid attention to the hatching progress of the dome.

And now, that giant egg that could move freely before hatching actually hatched a creature!

In total, more than a month has passed in the World Tree, and it is normal for the giant egg to hatch within this period of time.

However, this is a... pterosaur?

Xu Xin has seen petrified pterosaurs, but there seems to be something different about the little pterosaur in front of her...

Where is it……?

"Ah, it's Brother Xin who's back! And is that... Brother Xin's sister?"

"I finally saw Brother Xin again. It's been another half a month, right?"

"I can't say it's finally. It's only been a few hours outside."

"Brother Xin! How about it? The home we built is great!"

All the survivors had smiles on their faces that they had never seen before.

Everyone gathered around.

But before everyone gathered around, the little pterosaur had already flown into the sky and flown into the fruit forest.

Xu Xin had a conversation with the survivors who came around.

During this time, they have been building this area and have almost no rest except for sleeping and eating.

But each of them is very satisfied.

"Haha, Brother Xin, we are not tired. Compared with the outside, we are just like playing a construction game now!"

"Oh, I have had a dream since I was a child, which is to build an area of ​​my own just like in the game. Unexpectedly, it has come true in this world!"

"What is this world? This is the earth, okay? You should say that your dream has finally come true after a thousand years~"

"...? Why does it sound so miserable? Besides, I'm talking about the world in this 'World Tree'!"

Amid everyone's laughter, Xu Xin asked Ji Chaoyang and others about their current locations, then said goodbye to everyone and walked over there.

Infected by this atmosphere, Xu Xin sighed: "Oh, they are so comfortable here. I don't even want to go out."

"Well...me too." Xu Ying said with some envy. "After we transfer the technology from the underground world, we will need to produce weapons and equipment for a period of time. It just so happens that I can live here easily for a while."

If this area was like a township before, now it is like a villa area.

"Is there even a stream?" Xu Xin looked at the stream running through the area not far away, a little surprised, "How did this stream appear? Where does the water come from?"

This reminded him of the memory Shi Wanyun passed on to him. There was also a stream in the area where the woman named No. 5 lived.

"Don't forget, this is within the World Tree, and it's too easy to get water."

The two walked to the stream. Xu Ying held up a handful of water, took a sip, and showed a satisfied expression: "As expected of the spring water of the World Tree, it is so sweet!"

"The spring of the World Tree?"

Xu Xin looked at the stream and saw even some small fish and shrimps swimming in the flowing stream.

"Well, it is the water absorbed by the World Tree, purified by the World Tree, and provided to the people inside the World Tree."

Xu Ying stood up.

"This is also a unique ability of the World Tree. It can purify water resources. Even at the seaside, in poisonous places, or even in the desert, as long as a World Tree is planted, the World Tree can extract sufficient water. Moreover, They are all very high-quality, directly drinkable World Tree spring water.”

she explained.

"...The World Tree is worthy of being studied by alien invaders, and it is full of strategic types." Xu Xin sighed.

This single function would have been as important to the country a thousand years ago.

"No, this is not what those monsters deliberately studied." Xu Ying shook her head, "Water is the source of life on earth, but it does not belong to those alien invaders. As far as I know, they don't need to absorb water at all. .

The World Tree can purify water resources, probably because the banyan tree, the prototype of the World Tree, itself needs to absorb a lot of water, and we can only get a share of the pie..."

"Wait a minute." Xu interrupted her, "Did you just say that alien invaders don't need water to sustain life?"

"As far as I know, it's not necessary." Xu Ying nodded, "Not only is it not necessary, they seem to hate water very much, and they don't even want to come into contact with liquid water."

"Is this really the case..." Xu Xin muttered to herself.

"Well... it was just a rumor we had at the time. I don't know if it is true or not. It is a rumor that cannot be confirmed, but everyone said that at the time."

Xu Ying glanced at the crystal clear stream.

"The news came from those fanatical believers, who even regarded water as a very unclean thing, and who regarded the need to take in water as a sign of the inferiority of life on earth."

Alien invaders don't need water...

"But alien invaders are still living things after all. They always need some necessary materials to maintain their lives, right?"

Xu Xin thought for a while.

Life is life after all. If the common water resources on the earth are not necessary for their life, what do they really need?

"We don't know this clearly." Xu Ying shook her head.

"We also thought about this problem at the time. If this kind of material is scarce on the earth, it would be equivalent to finding their weakness, but... until the end, there was nothing gained."

"Also, it is not known whether it is true that alien invaders do not need water. Of course, this information also affected our decision-making."

"Part of the reason why we set up the underground human base under the sea is because of this somewhat illusory information. If they really hate water, they should not go near the sea."

It turns out there is such a reason?

"Perhaps it is for this reason that they have not attacked the creatures and resources in the sea so far." Xu Xin speculated, "In the final analysis, a race that can swim among the stars would really not be able to conquer the sea if it were not for its fear of water. ?"

"You think so...it makes sense." Xu Ying tilted her head and thought for a while.

The two left the creek, and everyone in the explorers also knew that Xu Xin had returned and came to find them one after another.

Everyone entered the conference tree house again.

After Xu Xin told everyone the information they obtained during this trip, everyone fell into thinking.

"It seems...the other party is really helpless against our World Tree." Ji Chaoyang said, "They seem to be starting to consider defeating us from within."

"That's right." Xu Xin nodded, "They can't control the World Tree, so they want to enter the World Tree and kill us all. As long as we die, the World Tree will no longer pose a threat."

"Yingying, will the World Tree wither with the death of its owner?" Li Wenxi, who was sitting next to Xu Xin, asked Xu Ying.

"No." Xu Ying shook her head, "The World Tree is not as fragile as the tree house. When the holder dies, the World Tree will become an open form without an owner. It is said that the World Tree can be held again in some way. What is it specifically? I don’t know how.”

"Is it like the ownerless world tree you just said you can teleport in at will?" Wen Guixin leaned on the sofa and frowned, "Isn't that just coming in and out at will? Then what if you die? ...I said, why don't you and Xu Xin stop running around all the time, in case something happens outside..."

"Just one more thing to do. The next step is to go to the underground world and bring up everything that needs to be brought up."

Saying this, Xu Ying glanced at Zeng Tao, whose eyelids were trembling and drowsy: "After that, our weapons factory can start operating at full capacity. At that time, the survivors will need to show their talents, especially you. , Zeng Tao."

"Hmm...!?" Zeng Tao's eyes widened, "I...? Oh, okay..."

After saying that, her eyelids started to tremble again.

At this time, Qi Xuefei on the side explained: "Because it is always daytime in the World Tree during this period, and everyone is busy. They eat when they are hungry and sleep when they are tired, which makes everyone's schedule a little messy. Zeng Tao It should be time to go to bed now."

"...Well...my schedule...is not messed up! It should be night now..." Zeng Tao tried hard to open his eyes, and then pointed to his watch, "I'm so sleepy...let me Go to sleep……"

As she spoke, she fell down on the sofa, making the whole sofa creak.

Xu Xin was also slightly stunned.

No wonder he walked all the way just now and didn't see many people along the way except for the first group of people.

Co-authored: Now is the normal bedtime!

The inside of the World Tree was always lit like the outside world, and he had completely forgotten about it.

"So, shouldn't we also regulate the time in the World Tree?" Wang Lei didn't say much, because he was a little sleepy. "Everyone has such a chaotic schedule, won't there be problems?"

"During this period of construction, I didn't pay attention to this." Ji Chaoyang looked out the window, "It seems that we really need to regulate the time. Otherwise, when the weapons factory starts to operate, it will still be the same, and the efficiency will be low. Only the standardized time , so that it can rotate better, seamlessly, and operate all day long.”

Only when people working the night shift take over from those working the day shift can the highest efficiency be achieved.

"Wow, it's a capitalist..." Zeng Tao opened his eyes and closed them again.

"Haha, I'm doing this for everyone's good." Ji Chaoyang said helplessly, "They don't need me to supervise them. They are too cruel to themselves now. If they don't regulate themselves, they will get excited and will not rest for twenty or thirty hours. It’s the norm.”

"Well... Judging from the conditions of the people we just met, this is indeed the case. But why?" Xu Ying couldn't understand at all, "Now that there is so much time in World Tree and it is so safe and leisurely, why do they have to work so hard? ?”

"Maybe they had enough free time in the previous half month." Qin Yunlong smiled, "After you gave us so many production blueprints, they all went crazy and built around like crazy."

"Isn't that right?" Li Wenxi complained, "In the past few days, people have been blocking me every day, begging me to give them more resources. Some of them even started to want to build tall towers and make metal statues. They are really busy. I refuse directly, there are so many resources, it’s not such a waste!”

Wang Lei laughed loudly: "Haha, have you ever played that kind of... farming construction game before? It seems to me that their group of people regard this place as a real-life version of that kind of game.

Think about it, we have blueprints and treehouses. Take building a house as an example. Walls, roofs, etc. can be easily made and synthesized. We only need to design and splice them together. Isn’t this just like in the game? It is the same? "

"Oh, those guys regard the construction area as entertainment? No wonder they are all so excited..." Wen Guixin shook her head, "I don't understand, what's so fun about that kind of game."

After several people discussed some things, they left separately.

Ji Chaoyang approached Xu Xin alone: ​​"Xu Xin, I have a new view on my prophecy."

"What's the meaning?"

"Tomorrow morning, outside tomorrow morning, those petrified creatures will come collectively, but they... don't seem to be here to attack us."

Xu Xin was startled for a moment, then his eyes flashed: "You mean, they came... to take refuge with us?"

"I have this guess, but I'm not sure, so I plan to discuss it with you." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Those petrified creatures did not have any intention to attack, and I have extended the prophecy as much as possible in the past few days, and then, I saw a acquaintance."

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes: "Long seal?"

"Yes, if that person is on our side, then... those group of petrified creatures are probably friendly."

Those petrified creatures are the masterpieces of Chang Yin, so it is normal for him to control them.

If it's him... it's really possible that he's seeking refuge with a friend!

but……

"You're right, but... we can't rule out that the other party used Xuelan and Xiaohong to threaten Changyin to attack us." Xu Xin was not so optimistic, "You didn't see the other two, did you?"

"Well, no. So I took that into consideration as well. What do you think we should do?"

"... Yingying and I will go to the underground world immediately and move the weapons production line up. We will go all out to make weapons and deal with the worst possible situation. Although Yingying said that World Tree has strong defense capabilities and self-healing abilities, I Not very reassured." Xu Xin stood up.

"Well, this is the safest way."

Ji Chaoyang nodded and then smiled: "However, you don't have to leave in such a hurry. Just rest here for a day or two. After a day of rest, less than fifteen minutes have passed outside. Don't be in such a hurry. Enjoy it. It’s the result of our construction during this period.”

Xu Xin also smiled: "I thought that what you just said was just to urge me to leave quickly."

"Do I look that ignorant?"

Ji Chaoyang shook his head with a smile and said: "Hurry up and accompany your Wen Xi. You have been gone for half a month. She is not in a good mood during this period. If she continues to be in such a bad mood, we can't do it. Our resources But it all depends on her.”

"OK."
