Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

The three of them walked in this dreamlike alien landscape.

The ground under your feet is uneven, perfectly restoring the rock-like structure of the ground.

At the same time, various unknown alien plants are growing everywhere.

Some are very tall, reaching tens of meters high, while some vegetation is very low, about the same height as grass.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are constantly swinging.

These plants all have the ability to move independently.

This did not surprise Xu Xin and the other three, because they had long been accustomed to this.

It's strange that these alien plants don't move.

Of course, when the trees in front of them were swaying collectively inside the windless giant ship, the three of them were still very cautious.

Back then, in the early days of survival, they had already experienced the aggressiveness of those movable vines in dangerous areas countless times.

Therefore, the danger level of these plants growing in the scarlet world is probably not low.

"Proceed with caution." Xu Xin whispered, "It seems safe here, but who knows what dangers are hidden."

"But why is it so quiet here?" Li Wenxi whispered.

Inside the entire giant ship, the plants and ground scenes within a two-kilometer radius actually exist, while the distant and high-altitude scenery is composed of projections and screens.

For Xu Xin and the others, the visual effects inside the giant ship were very shocking, but... it gave people a desolate feeling.

Because there are moving plants everywhere, but...

But there isn't any alien invader here.

Coupled with this "endless" scenery, it really gives people a feeling of vastness and desolation.

"Also, where is that monster?" Xu Ying whispered, "Why haven't we seen it at all since we came in?"

After they came in, except for the first alien invaders, they never encountered any other living alien invaders.

Now there is no trace even of the alien invaders.

"Why are those alien invaders that came in with us just now missing?" Li Wenxi looked around in confusion, "Or are they all in those small rooms now?"

In this "wilderness", there are also some small metal rooms scattered here and there.

The scarlet ground, the ever-swaying vegetation, the bright red sky, and these small metal rooms that reflect red light hidden among the plants make up this desolate scenery.

The nearest small room was less than two hundred meters away from them, right on the way to the black room at the "foot of the mountain" they were going to.

The black room seemed to be at the front of this area.

All in all, it should also be the head of this giant ship.

That's why Xu Ying just thought that there was the control room of the giant ship.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

The three of them quickened their pace and soon reached the edge of the room.

The door was actually open.

And inside the house...

a mess.

There were scratches and bullet holes all over the house, some of which were nearly ten centimeters deep into the wall.

At the same time, there was some fishy smell coming from the house.

But there are no bodies of alien invaders.

There is nothing inside except some special "furniture".

"There was a battle here." Xu Xin looked around the room and said, "And..."

He looked at the marks on the wall, which were extremely new.

"It should have happened not long ago." Xu Ying took over the words.

"Ah..." Li Wenxi suddenly realized, "Could it be that monster did it?"

It's possible.

Monsters have been here. It's really possible that monsters did this kind of thing.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here."

The three of them left the room and continued walking towards the black room in the distance.

The hatch of the giant ship is located in the middle of the side of the giant ship. Therefore, the current position of Xu Xin and the others is actually in the middle of the entire giant ship.

Therefore, they were only a kilometer away from the black room at the head of the giant ship.

They walked very carefully for the last few hundred meters.

Because the closer you get to the house made of black material, the denser and taller the surrounding vegetation becomes.

It's like walking from the original grassland, into the bush, and then into the forest.

The forest is not scary, the moving forest is scary.

For example, right in front of them now.

The vine-like plant stretched its body into the air, and the vines, as thick as the trunk of an old tree, were swinging in circles.

On the side, a tall plant twisted like a twist branched out into several twisted and dry branches, stabbing at the swaying and dodging vines from time to time.

On the ground, those low "shrubs" and "lawns" swayed with the twisting movements of the tall vegetation, as if to cheer it up.

"It's so interesting..."

Li Wenxi exclaimed in a low voice: "It's like these two people are dueling, and there are a bunch of spectators around them watching and cheering!"

"Don't really think of them as plants."

Xu Xin reminded in a low voice.

"These alien creatures only grow on the ground and look somewhat similar to the vegetation on our earth, but in fact they should not be called plants."

"Well, according to the definition, it should be an animal." Xu Ying whispered, "And maybe it can be regarded as an alien beast."

"Alien beasts..."

Li Wenxi swallowed: "Suddenly, I feel that the danger level of these guys has increased by more than one level."

Xu Xin and the others bypassed this "duel" between alien plants and continued walking forward.

"Just go around it."

Xu Xin looked back and said: "Although these things can move, they have a fatal flaw, which is that they are trapped in the ground."

"They all grow on the ground, so as long as we stay away from them, they can't hurt us."

This is the biggest difference between them and truly free-moving animals.

but……

"The ground here is just a screen, right?"

Xu Ying lightly stepped on the ground: "Is it possible that these plants are still growing on the screen?"

"Ah, I know this." Li Wenxi pointed to the ground, "Below the screen, there seems to be a... um... big petri dish? Those plants actually grow underneath. The reason why they can get out is just that they are There's a hole in the screen."

Xu Xin and Xu Ying looked at the roots of these "plants" after hearing this.

Sure enough, at their roots, there is actually a hole slightly larger than their body, which allows them to move easily.

In some holes, dozens of different plants even emerged.

These plants are crowded together and even fighting with each other, but they can't help each other.

There are a few bunches of plants that seem to be tired of beating, even...

It retracted directly into the hole.

Good guy!

They can actually retract?

It's almost like an animal's nest.

Of course, those tall "plants" are unlikely to shrink back, because the holes at their roots are much smaller than those on the ground.

Xu Xin looked behind her.

Behind him, the two huge plants that were "dueling" had stopped fighting with each other.

The thick vine actually retracted downwards, and in a few seconds all the exposed branches, which were dozens of meters long, were retracted to the ground, without leaving any of them outside.

And the trunk of the tree, as rugged and twisted as a twist, and extremely dry as a whole, turned out to be like plasticine, bending down easily, and the entire tree lay on the ground!

It looks extremely dry on the outside, giving people a feeling that it will break if it is broken, but it can actually bend and lie down!

However, Xu Xin only glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

Li Wenxi and Xu Ying also saw it, but they didn't care either.

Because scenes like this happen all the time in this giant ship, and they will no longer make a fuss when they come along.

Of course, you still have to be careful.

The three of them almost walked around those giant plants.

Because around those giant plants, there are always some densely packed small plants that almost completely cover the ground.

If they didn't take a detour, they would have to step on these small vegetation.

Xu Xin tried throwing a stone in. As a result, the fist-sized stone was instantly swallowed up by the soft-looking vegetation on the ground under the gaze of the three people.

It makes a "crack-crack-crack" sound.

There was even a puff of lime seconds later.

"Tsk, is it so dangerous?"

"Why do these alien invaders plant such dangerous things inside the giant ship..."

"Maybe these alien plants won't hurt them."

In short, the three of them chose to take a detour.

At the same time, they also passed nearly ten metal houses.

The doors of those houses were all open, and the interiors were completely destroyed and in a mess.

It was obvious that a fight had taken place in each room not long ago.

"There's no way around it." Xu Ying said softly.

"The vegetation in front... is so dense." Li Wenxi looked forward and whispered.

The closer you get to the black building, the denser the vegetation becomes.

Of course, these large plants are not immediately adjacent to each other, and most of them are still low plants surrounding them.

They were now only about a hundred meters away from the black building.

This area is almost entirely covered with these low vegetation.

This allowed Xu Xin and the others to see the black building, but there was no way they could avoid stepping on the moving and swaying vegetation.

"...Yingying, you should be able to see clearly around the building now? Teleport." Xu Xin turned to look at Xu Ying and said.

"Well... let me take a look." Xu Ying looked ahead, "If you teleport... you can only teleport to the door of the black building, and in front of that door... there are also these vegetation growing on the ground."

The black building is almost completely surrounded by vegetation, and even the windows are covered with various vine-like vegetation.

And the vegetation was even crawling around like bugs.

The entire black building is like a living ghost house.

"Eh... what should we do now?" Li Wenxi looked forward and asked, "Is everything overgrown in front of the door? This alien invader is too slovenly. Don't you even know how to clean it?"

"Perhaps this is their way of preventing non-essential personnel from approaching?" Xu Ying said.

"There is also a possibility that..."

Xu Xin looked at the desolate and disorderly "world" behind him: "This area was actually not so chaotic originally. It's just that this giant ship drifted in the turbulence of time and space for a long time, which caused them to grow. It became what it is now.”

"Ah, it's really possible." Li Wenxi opened her eyes and said, "But if that's the case and they're all back now, shouldn't they be cleaned up?"

"I don't have time."

Xu Ying was tilting her head to observe possible unsurrounded places ahead.

"As soon as they came back, they put all the soldiers in that town and fled away from the teleportation formation."

"Our leader left directly and returned to the World Tree. There are still destroyed factories outside, and there is another monster inside that is making trouble everywhere."

"In this situation, it's hard to say whether there are any living alien invaders here."

Xu Xin and Li Wenxi both nodded in agreement.

"How about, can you find a place to enter?"

"……follow me."

Xu Ying grabbed their arms, and then the three of them disappeared.

"Stand still!"

Xu Ying's words brought the two of them back to their senses.

Open your eyes and take a look, it’s amazing!

They are now on the roof of this black building!

Although this black building only has four floors, each floor is very high. The fourth floor is nearly thirty meters high.

The highest point of the large plants around the building is about the same height.

The view is even good, and you can see the scenery inside the entire giant ship.

Looking down, thirty meters is still very high. The vines on the wall stopped climbing when they reached about twenty meters.

Therefore, there is almost no vegetation on the entire top floor, with only some small plants growing in the cracks, swaying slightly and moving automatically in the absence of wind.

Suddenly, Li Wenxi's somewhat surprised voice came from behind him.

"This mountain... is real!"

He looked back and saw Li Wenxi touching the mountain.

Xu Ying is also by her side.

Because this black building is at the front of the entire giant ship, it is at the "foot of the mountain".

In fact, these distant mountains are actually the scenes projected on the screen on the front wall of the giant ship.

But Li Wenxi said it was true.

"it is true?"

Xu Xin walked to the two women.

At this time, the mountain was emitting a scarlet light and was very bumpy. At first glance, it looked no different from a ground screen imitating a scarlet crystal.

"It's true, this is really scarlet crystal." Xu Ying touched the "mountain" twice, and then said softly.

"……ha?"

Is this mountain really scarlet crystal? !

wrong……

Xu Xin stepped back and gradually saw the entire mountain clearly.

He observed carefully for a long time and finally found the dividing line between true and false.

Only the part near the building, only the foot of the mountain, is real.

It is equivalent to attaching the foot of a forty to fifty meter high mountain to this huge screen.

"This... is really real."

After observing it for a while, the two women also understood the principle.

"How should I put it... This guy actually placed such a scarlet crystal from the hill here just to make the mountain more real?"

Xu Ying was really speechless.

This leader... is too extravagant, right?

This piece of scarlet crystal is so big, it's forty to fifty meters high, and its average thickness is nearly ten meters!

Of course, it's not concentrated, but scarlet crystal in its normal form.

But even so, it’s a lot!

The scarlet crystal consumed in the passage and room they saw before was basically the same.

"Um, so, we are going to blow up this place too?"

Li Wenxi asked.

"Of course, this is also a scarlet crystal, and it will definitely explode!" Xu Ying nodded.

Don't leave any space for alien invaders!

Everything they see will be completely destroyed!

"Put this away first, let's find a way to get in first." Xu Xin said.

"There seems to be no way in..." Li Wenxi looked around.

The entire top layer is very flat.

Nothing at all.

"Find a place to jump?" Xu Ying walked to the edge of the building and looked down, "Well... there is no structure like an open-air balcony, so you can't jump in."

The entire dark building has no entrance except doors and windows.

But there was that kind of vegetation in front of the door, and I didn’t know how to open the windows and enter.

"Huh...?" Li Wenxi was using her ability to sense the building, and then she said in frustration, "The material of this building is not made of metal. I can't sense anything."

The completely black building is made of a very special material, somewhat similar to rubber. It is not completely hard, but has considerable toughness and elasticity.

But it's obviously not rubber because it's smooth and has no trace.

Xu Ying even took out a dagger and scratched it tentatively, leaving no trace.

"Otherwise, we can just leave a few nuclear bombs here, and we can teleport them out and detonate them." Xu Ying also said a little discouraged.

"No, don't give up."

Here is the control room of the giant ship.

The control room of the giant ship, in addition to controlling the start of the giant ship, can also control the giant ship's naval guns, ship-based missiles, etc.

Of course, the alien invaders' giant ships may not be loaded with these weapons.

Only strong, not weak.

And isn't this what Xu Ying is looking for, a weapon that can completely destroy the scarlet crystal?

Xu Xin woke up Coco who was already drowsy in her arms.

Coco is the best at leading the way, so leaving it to him is the right thing to do.

"Coco, take us into this building."

"Ugh...?"

The little guy took a few seconds to figure out the current situation, and then jumped out of Xu Xin's arms.

It lay facing the scarlet crystal wall and yawned a little.

The three of them looked at each other and then followed behind Coco.

The little guy approached the scarlet crystal mountain, tilted his head, and then walked left along the mountain for about ten meters.

Then the little paw hit the mountain with a "snap".

Then, a scene that surprised the three people happened.

An area of ​​​​the scarlet crystal mountain immediately cracked into the shape of the door frame, and then slowly expanded outward!

On the scarlet crystal mountain, there is a scarlet crystal gate that is at least thirty centimeters thick.

When it is closed, it looks like it is completely part of the mountain, without even a slight trace.

And behind the door, there was actually a...

An elevator made of scarlet crystal!

"Hey!"

Coco grabbed Xu Xin's legs and crawled into his arms. She opened her mouth, yawned, and then continued to sleep.

"Don't sleep, tell me first, is there any danger inside?"

Although the answer was obvious from Keke's appearance, Xu Xin still asked.

"Hey..."

Coco's little head shook slightly.

Then he quickly started snoring.

Fall asleep quickly.

The little guy is indeed tired.

Fortunately, it seemed to have absorbed its magical power this time, at least it did not affect the mental state of Xu Xin and others.

"It seems there is no danger anymore." Li Wenxi reached out and pinched Coco's ears.

"What the hell is this little guy..." Xu Ying muttered in a low voice, "How come he knows everything?"

"……let's go."

Xu Xin took the two girls and walked into the elevator.

The mountain gate slowly closed and turned into the flawless scarlet crystal mountain wall again.
