Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"Wait, what is this?" Xu Xin picked up the last two cards.

It is [Mutated Beast Contract (Green)]. In the backpack, there were actually two mutated beast contracts.

Probably because he looted it from here and put it in the backpack, and died here for some unknown reason, so there is such a thing in the backpack.

Without thinking too much, Xu Xin directly put the two contracts into his backpack, so that he had five contracts, which just coincided with the amount that the ring could store.

Putting other things back into the blue-level backpack, he directly carried the backpack on his body.

The backpack is actually very small. Although it is a bit awkward to carry two, it is not a big problem.

In the backpack, only the round wood and thin wood are relatively heavy, but the blue-level backpack reduces the weight to one-tenth, and his strength is now much stronger than before, so he has no pressure.

As for the broken blue-level leather armor, Xu Xin thought about it and put it on. He remembered that the weapon and armor making table had the function of repairing it. Although he didn't know how much material it would consume, it would definitely cost less than making a new one.

"With these logs and fine wood, when I go back, I can directly renovate the inside and outside of the tree house." Xu Xin was a little flattered, but he was only happy for a moment before calming down, after all, in this dangerous underground It's too early in the city to talk about going back and remodeling treehouses.

Xu Xin exited the room and closed the door.

Looking deep into the corridor, he still couldn't see the end, but there were not many rooms left, only three doors left, which he hadn't explored yet. As for the corridor further down, there were no doors on both sides. I don't know where such a long corridor leads.

Xu Xin came to the first remaining door. The door was unlocked. He was about to push the door and enter when Ke Ke on his shoulder suddenly reacted.

"Hey!" Coco called out.

dangerous! Xu Xin narrowed her eyes, and the hand that was about to push the door stopped in mid-air.

This was the first time Coco had warned him of danger after entering this corridor.

According to Xu Xin's deduction, the mutated beast is probably locked in this room. He took out the broom, held it in his left hand, and held the sword tightly in his right hand, and pushed the door open a gap.

The rotten wooden door made an unpleasant creaking sound, and a rotten smell emerged from the crack in the door.

Not the damp, rotten smell that has been permeating since coming in, but a rotten smell.

Yes, the smell of rotting corpses.

Xu Xin had never smelled the smell of rotting corpses, but he had smelled the smell of rotting meat, and that was the smell.

Through the opened gap, Xu Xin looked into the door.

This room is very big, much larger than any room Xu Xin entered before, like a hotel reception hall.

The hall was full of tall iron cages full of rust, and the dense iron cage railings made Xu Xin think that she had come to a prison.

And in each iron cage, there was a beast the size of a wolf lying on its stomach or lying in it, motionless. There are faint blood-red patterns on the fur of every beast.

"Is this... a mutant beast? Are they... already dead?"

Xu Xin opened the door and walked gently into the huge room. Compared with the small stone chambers I entered before, this room is much larger, with a height of seven or eight meters and an area of ​​at least a thousand square meters.

In such a large area, only a few paths of about one meter were left between the iron cages, and the rest of the places were occupied by these rusty iron cages.

Xu Xin reached out and pinched the railing of an iron cage nearby. The railing was already very fragile under long-term erosion, and it was deformed with just a light pinch.

The mutated beasts in the cage were motionless, but they didn't look like dead beasts. Although the air was filled with a rotten smell, the beasts looked normal and showed no signs of decay.

"Alive?" Xu Xin became more vigilant.

If these wild beasts are alive to the end, these fragile cages can't stop the actions of these mutant beasts at all.

Xu Xin's footsteps became lighter again.

He tiptoed around in this room, but he didn't find anything other than this group of mutated beasts.

"There are so many mutated beasts here, are they specially bred?" Xu Xin thought, "I wonder if the contract I just obtained can control these mutated beasts."

There are many kinds of wild beasts in the cage, including carnivorous beasts like wild wolves and wild cats, omnivorous ones like wild boars and bears, and even herbivorous ones like deer and rabbits.

Xu Xin thought about it and decided not to try it for the time being. He still has two rooms to explore. If the contract is used to wake up all the beasts, these rusted iron cages can't stop even ordinary beasts, let alone Talk about these mutant beasts.

Withdrew from this room.

The next door is just opposite this one. Xu Xin walked to the door and reached out to push it.

"Hey!" Ke Ke suddenly yelled again, tugging at Xu Xin's clothes. This time it reacted much more violently than the previous room, tugging at Xu Xin's collar, as if it didn't want him to go in at all.

Xu Xin gently pushed open a gap and looked into the room.

The scene seen through the crack of the door made Xu Xin's pupils locked tightly, and she covered her mouth, barely screaming out.

"This... what kind of monster?"

On the floor of the room, there were more than a dozen human bodies lying there. These bodies were in different postures, as if they were thrown here directly by someone.

If it was just a dead person, Xu Xin would not have been so frightened. Since he came to this world, more than 4,000 people have died in their area alone. Although Xu Xin has never seen their death, she no longer has any fear of the dead.

But these things lying in this room may no longer be considered human beings.

Most of them don't wear any clothes, but their bodies are covered with fine red and white fluff. The fluff is very short, about the length of a short-haired cat, and the red fluff forms the red pattern that Xu Xin is very familiar with.

Some of them were still wearing very tattered leather armor sets and even new gloves. For others, he could only vaguely see that they might have been human once through their hands, feet and accessories.

"What is this? Mutation... Human? And they are all survivors?!"

Xu Xin thought of the words carved on the stone table when she came in.

"They are all demons. If you kill me, I really want to die. You all will die..." Xu Xin felt short of breath as he thought about it. "Not only are mutated beasts being cultivated here, but even survivors are used for experiments?"

He turned his head abruptly, looking in the direction he came from. The corridor was still dark, except for the faint fire flickering in the stone room at the end of the corridor when he came.

The doors he opened are still the same as they were when he closed them, and there is no sign of any monsters about to emerge.

"Hey." Ke Ke called out softly, and pulled Xu Xin's clothes back, which was very obvious, telling him not to enter this room.

"Those hairy things on the ground, are they alive?" Xu Xin asked Ke Ke softly.

"Oh." Coco nodded her head.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xin slowly closed the opened door again.

There is still the last room that has not been explored, so let's find out the situation first.

There was also an ear-piercing "squeak" sound when the door was closed. Xu Xin paused at the door for a while with a guilty conscience. She was relieved until there was no sound from inside, and looked at the last door.

The last door turned out to be made of metal, and although the door looked a bit old, there were no traces of rust, and it was even spotless.

Xu Xin turned the doorknob tentatively, and found that the only special metal door was not locked, but was opened directly.

Coco on the shoulder didn't respond, indicating that it didn't sense the danger inside.

Xu Xin pushed open the door gently.
