Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

In the World Tree, that night, Li Wenxi, who had brought many miners back from the underground world to rest, was lying on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After Xu Xin left, it took some time for the survivors in the World Tree to fully accept this fact.

Fortunately, their living environment is not what it used to be, and no one was overwhelmed by this shocking news.

Li Wenxi also took a group of people to the underground world to explore and excavate that area.

The survivors who were brought down by her were also shocked by the birds in the underground world, so they completely believed what Xu Xin and the others said about a hundred times the speed of time.

And the mineral resources in the underground world are really incomparably rich.

Iron ore, silver ore, copper ore, gold ore, and even some rare metal ores, as well as soil rich in rare metals.

Li Wenxi can only detect the location of the metal mine, but she feels that the resources in this underground world may be far more than what she has seen.

"That underground world...is too rich." Li Wenxi lay on the bed and murmured to herself, "Although the area affected by the flow of time is not very large, it feels...it can't be used up."

If calculated according to the population and industrial level thousands of years ago, the various metal materials contained in that area alone would be enough for the global population to last decades without any problem.

If we put it now, it would be basically inexhaustible.

"It seems that there is no need to worry about the material issues in the future for the time being."

Li Wenxi turned over on the bed, hugging her pillow, her eyelids trembling a little.

"Really... I just came back, and I have to go out for a long time..."

Before Xu Xin left, she told her what she was going to do this time.

What he has to do is very simple. If everything goes well, it will be done in less than half a day.

But he has always been outside!

Half a day to the outside world, two months have passed internally!

If she had been in this world tree, she would really have to wait for two months...

Otherwise, she chooses this time to go outside?

Ji Chaoyang has already explained their plan to everyone.

Among them, some people are not willing to step out of this safe and comfortable world tree.

In just half a month, the comfortable life in World Tree has worn away a lot of the fearless spirit they have developed in life and death.

But this is also normal.

If they could be happy and stable, no one would want to be homeless and put themselves in danger.

After seeing the light, many people are unwilling to go back to the darkness.

Of course, some people expressed their willingness to live outside, guard the World Tree, and contact the outside world.

The thoughts of these people coincided with what the explorers were considering at the time. They felt that aging was accelerating internally relative to the outside world.

Especially now, when there are hundreds of millions of humans outside.

Although they have no intersection with those humans, they don't want to age faster than each other.

Moreover, the level of safety in Crystal City is much higher than their previous life. For them, there is no need to worry too much.

Therefore, some people are already outside the World Tree.

"But... I have my own mission, which must be completed within the World Tree." Li Wenxi buried her head in the pillow.

She is responsible for extracting resources, and only within the World Tree can she maximize production efficiency.

At present, when the available resources are not very abundant, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. She is destined not to waste time in the outside world.

"Alas...it seems we can only wait for a while."

Li Wenxi sighed and turned over again to look at the ceiling.

"However, when you find Lou Fei'er and the others, you probably won't go directly to the underground world, but will come back halfway, right? Let him stay in the world tree for a few more days, anyway, it's only a few minutes outside .”

"Huh...?" Coco lay on the head of her bed, raised her little head and shouted.

Li Wenxi tilted her head and looked at the little guy who had been napping just now: "Keke, why didn't you follow Xu Xin this time?"

This was the first time that this little guy didn't fight for Xu Xin to take him with him. Not only did he not fight, he even stayed away.

So Xu Xin also left the little guy here this time, and Li Wenxi brought the little guy to her tree house.

"Hey..." Coco's two big furry ears moved and her eyes blinked.

"Forget it, I don't understand what you are talking about either."

Li Wenxi lay on her side, reached out and scratched its ears, and then her eyes became increasingly difficult to open.

She closed her eyes tiredly, and said to herself: "It should have been...eight hours since Xu Xin and the others left? Calculate the time, and it's only been...five minutes outside? Oh my god...it's so hard …”

"I'm tired. Let's take a nap first. After a nap... we can spend another five minutes outside..."

…

Xu Xin and Xu Ying are now in Area 1.

Even after running so far, Xu Xin did not bring Silver King here.

With Xu Ying here, the two of them can teleport anytime and anywhere, and there is no need for the Silver King to do it for them.

Not only the Silver King, but also the others he didn't bring over.

Because according to Xu Ying, with mutated creatures, it is very likely that the enemy will find out where they are, and they may even be counter-controlled.

It's easier for two people to act.

At this time, both of them were wearing the concealment cloak made by Zhao Xiaochuan, walking in the jungle.

"Brother, don't stay too far away from me. If there is any crisis, I can take you back directly." Xu Ying turned to look at Xu Xin, "Also, only by my side can I ensure that our conversation is smooth. Will be bugged.”

The two of them were teleported through the teleportation array.

Because Xu Ying has never been here in District 1, and has never been located, so naturally there is no way to teleport it directly.

But you won’t need it when you go back.

She can go back anytime she wants.

"Okay, I see. Look, that's the tree house."

Xu Xin pointed to the tree house not far away, which was one story taller than his tree house, and confirmed that it was Shi Wanyun's tree house.

When he was in contact with Lou Feier last time, the three daughters were all in this tree house.

"...There is no one in the tree house." Xu Ying glanced at the tree house and shook her head.

"You can see this?" Xu Xin turned to look at her in surprise.

"Isn't this normal?" Xu Ying spread her hands and said, "You can call me a humanoid infrared sensor. No living creature can escape my eyes. Ah..."

Xu Ying's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "If it's a dead person... I won't be able to detect it."

The corners of Xu Xin's eyes trembled, and then he shook his head: "No, they are not dead."

After he came out of World Tree, he immediately sent voice messages to the three of them.

Although it is still not connected, at least a connection can be established. If it is dead and the name is grayed out, then the operation of sending a voice will not be possible.

"Besides, if Shi Wanyun dies, her tree house will wither."

Xu Xin looked at this extremely lush tree house and said.

"Um... Although I don't want to pour cold water on you, I want to say that it would be nice to at least change the owner of the tree house." Xu Ying whispered.

"Huh? Can the owner of this normal tree house be changed?" Xu Xin turned to look at Xu Ying.

According to the tree house knowledge they have always understood, the owner of the main tree house cannot be changed, only the owner of the parasitic tree house can be changed.

"Your side, Area 188, really cannot be replaced. It is a geomantic treasure place we chose that is not affected by other world trees." Xu Ying looked down at the ground, stepped on her feet and said, "But here, you can Not so lucky.”

"You mean..." Xu Xin's pupils shrank, "Here, within the influence of the alien invader's World Tree?"

Xu Ying nodded slowly.

"Under the influence of World Tree, these tree houses are equivalent to World Tree's parasitic tree houses. As long as World Tree releases its authority, the owner of the tree house can change people at will."

Is it really under the influence of the alien invader World Tree?

zone 1.

...This area code alone makes people feel that it is not simple.

"This Area 1 is actually somewhat close to the other hemisphere." Xu Ying turned and looked to the east where the sun was rising. "Here, this is very close to the coast. We can reach it by walking six to seven hundred kilometers over there. On the seaside, across the ocean, is the territory of the alien invaders. This can be said to be the closest location to the alien invaders on our side."

Ocean...?

Xu Xin took a deep breath.

He almost forgot that in addition to land, this world also had oceans.

A distance of six to seven hundred kilometers is not that far on this expanding earth.

The diameter of the current Earth has expanded ten times compared to before, the surface area has expanded a hundred times, and the volume has expanded a thousand times.

Distance is length, so the distance of six to seven hundred kilometers was only six to seventy kilometers on the earth a thousand years ago.

People who lived here back then could get to the beach in half an hour to an hour by driving on the highway.

To round it all off, it means living by the sea.

"……Pacific Ocean?"

"Well, the Pacific Ocean." Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin and smiled, "We are still on the land of the motherland. How about it? Are you touched?"

"...It's a little bit." Xu Xin sighed.

"Humph, of course we will choose the nearest place. We can't choose a place that is too far away."

Xu Ying turned to look at the tree house again.

"Our side is the side that was not illuminated by the red light during the disaster and the creatures did not mutate. But the situation on the other side of the ocean was miserable. At the beginning of the disaster, all the creatures mutated under the red light and became aliens. The invaders’… first batch of cannon fodder and lackeys.”

"So, currently, there are no normal creatures like ours on the land in the other hemisphere. There...are almost all mutant creatures."

Xu Xin immediately thought of the area next to the World Tree in the other hemisphere in Shi Wanyun's memory.

Mutated creatures are everywhere.

They are basically all advanced mutated creatures, and all of them are very powerful.

It seems that the entire area on the land in the hemisphere is like this.

Of course, the mutated creatures next to the World Tree should be more powerful, and I'm afraid it won't be so exaggerated in other areas.

Xu Xin suddenly had an idea flash in his mind: "Wait a minute, the alien invaders relied on the World Tree to colonize the world, so they couldn't colonize this vast ocean, right? The underground world under the ocean..."

"Very smart." Xu Ying smiled, "That's right, they cannot control the underground world under the ocean. Although their original red aura also irradiated the ocean, it also affected the creatures in the shallow sea. , they cannot be affected in the deep sea. The penetrating power of the red light is not strong, it is about the same as sunlight."

The penetrating power of sunlight can be said to be like shining a layer of skin on the ocean.

In the ocean, below 200 meters deep, human eyes are completely unable to capture sunlight.

At a water depth of 200 meters to 1,000 meters, there are still some light-sensitive organisms that can capture sunlight with their eyes, but at this depth, no organisms can perform photosynthesis.

As for below 1,000 meters, it is complete darkness, and all known earth creatures cannot sense sunlight.

The average depth of the ocean is 3,347 meters, and the deepest Mariana Trench can reach 11,034 meters.

That is darkness that sunlight cannot penetrate at all.

"The red lights need to be bright enough to have a mutating effect on the creatures. At first they only affected the creatures in the sea at a depth of about 200 meters, and they couldn't affect them further down. They basically have no effect on the deep sea. but……"

The corner of Xu Ying's mouth twitched into a slightly smug smile: "Our giant beast's blood can be affected. At the beginning, the giant's blood flowed all over the mountains and rivers, and flowed into the ocean. Naturally, we also mixed some materials into it, so that this The bloodline is even richer."

"From the current point of view, the creatures in the deep sea must have been affected. The current seabed is already an extremely dark place where giant sea monsters live!"

Xu Xin imagined the scene and suddenly felt a little scared.

Giant sea monster.

You know, even on Earth thousands of years ago, the deep sea was an extremely mysterious realm.

Humanity’s understanding of the deep sea is even inferior to that of space.

After all, space can still be directly observed, but the deep sea...

It was an extremely mysterious domain, and all the creatures had strange appearances and strange shapes, as if they came from different planets from the creatures on the ground.

Scientists used to believe that in a harsh environment like the deep sea, where life is scarce and lacks light and food, the individual organisms there should not be too large.

But the opposite is true.

The deep sea is filled with all kinds of giant monsters.

For example, the giant squid, which is more than ten times larger than the normal squid, and the Styx jellyfish, which can be more than ten meters long, are both monsters from the deep sea.

There are also huge sea slugs, sponges, worms, sea spiders, and even single-celled organisms that are extremely large compared to the ground, all of which can be seen in the deep sea.

This phenomenon was called deep-sea gigantism by scientists thousands of years ago.

Therefore, the deep sea is a gathering place for monsters.

And now, under the influence of the giant beast's bloodline, these monsters have become even bigger!

Moreover, the blood of giant beasts can also enlighten living beings...

From this point of view, there is likely to be a group of terrifying deep-sea behemoths with high IQs living in the deep sea today!

This really makes my scalp numb just thinking about it...

"Wait... the current depth of the ocean should be..." Xu Xin suddenly thought of something and took a slight breath.

"Well, the current depth of the ocean is ten times as deep as before." Xu Ying said, shuddering slightly, "It's scary to think about it... In short, the underground world under the seabed cannot be controlled by their hands. A place that is easy to reach, so..."

"You have established an underground human base...under the ocean." Xu Xin took over the words and said.

"...As expected of me, brother." Xu Ying curled her lips, "It was also my brother who made this proposal."

...It turns out that the location of the underground human base is actually under the deep sea!

Xu Xin's scalp began to feel numb again when he thought of the extremely terrifying ocean world above his head.

It's really a good thing that I don't know. Once I know it, I'm afraid it will cause panic.

"Okay, okay, aren't we here to pick someone up? Why are we talking about the underground world?" Xu Ying interrupted the conversation in this regard and looked at the tree house only a few dozen meters away from the two of them. , "We are very close now. There is indeed no one inside. We want to go in and have a look... huh?!"

Xu Ying suddenly let out a startled sound, then grabbed Xu Xin's arm and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xin immediately tensed up and asked in a low voice.

"...Teleportation device."

Xu Xin looked towards the side of the tree house. Sure enough, there was a metal pillar with a small portion of it exposed on the ground. Because the exposed part was too short, it looked more like a metal disc.

"Didn't I tell you before? It was Shi Wanyun who brought her back..."

"Shh!" Xu Ying raised her index finger in front of her lips, interrupted Xu Xin's words, and whispered, "The transmission device is coming!"

Xu Xin was shocked.

Could it be Shi Wanyun and the others?

...What a coincidence?
