Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 492 The Strange Situation at Night (4600 words)

On the side, except for Xu Xin, the two people were already sweating profusely.

"Well...it's so hot, let's cool down the tree house." Li Wenxi wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

"Ah..." Xu Xin suddenly remembered that the temperature in the room was not something they could bear for a long time.

No normal person can bear the temperature of forty-five to six degrees in the room.

At this time, the blue-grade saltpetre in the basin has been completely precipitated and turned into powder.

As long as water is added to it, the surrounding temperature can be lowered.

Looking at the blue powder, Xu Xin suddenly had an idea.

He had been using blue-grade saltpeter before. In his tree house, the consumption of blue-grade saltpeter for cooling was very slow. Up to now, he hadn't completely consumed a piece of blue-grade saltpeter, and none of them had shrunk significantly. Therefore, this is the first time he has seen the powder precipitated after the dissolution of blue-grade saltpeter.

If it's this powder...

Compared with the stone-like saltpeter, would this powder dissolve in a large amount in an instant, absorb a large amount of heat, and cool down crazily?

It's really possible.

... Don't use this for now, this thing may be useful in the future.

Xu Xin put away the basin, took out another basin of water, and threw two pieces of saltpeter into it.

The surrounding temperature began to drop slowly.

At this time, the state of peeling blue-level oranges after taking a pill has almost recovered, and he is looking at Li Wenxi with his eyes.

"Wenxi, how do you feel today..." She looked at Li Wenxi, feeling something was wrong, and some thoughts in her mind even made her blush.

"Ah? Ah...hehe!" Li Wenxi chuckled, "How about it, do I make people feel very close to me today?"

"Well, it is indeed a little bit." Li Yajun nodded honestly.

"Hmph, because I have..." Li Wenxi explained to her.

"Can it still be like this!" Li Yajun was very surprised.

"Okay, let's talk about these things later. Has anything happened around here during this time?" Xu Xin asked Li Yajun.

Li Yajun shook his head and said: "Nothing happened. I didn't go to sleep until after two o'clock in the middle of the night last night. Before that, nothing really happened. But..."

Li Yajun looked at the water basin, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Li Wenxi asked.

"Well... I came here around ten o'clock last night. I chose your bedroom, a small room, and used two pieces of blue-grade saltpeter to cool it down. It didn't take long until around two o'clock in the morning before the two pieces of blue-grade saltpeter were exhausted. "

As she said that, Li Yajun took out a basin of somewhat turbid water from her backpack, which was water in which saltpeter had been dissolved.

"Oh?" Xu Xin heard the meaning of her words, "That is to say, these two pieces of blue-grade saltpetre have been working from ten o'clock last night to two o'clock in the middle of the night, for four hours? "

"It's been a long time, I thought it would be changed every two hours." Li Wenxi was a little surprised.

Qi Xuefei told her that her cultivation room needs to be replaced every two hours in order to maintain the temperature.

However, that's because Qi Xuefei's cultivation room is very large, and it only needs to be replaced every two hours when the temperature is the highest at 60 degrees at noon.

In this small bedroom of more than ten square meters, it is still at night, and it is indeed enough to change it every four hours.

"Yes." Li Yajun stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth, chewed and thought about it, a little puzzled, "It's not six o'clock in the morning, right? It's less than four hours before I go to bed. ? Moreover, in order not to cause problems due to too little saltpeter, I put three pieces of blue-grade saltpeter into the water, but..."

Hearing this, Xu Xin finally understood what was wrong.

The time consumed by saltpeter is not correct.

From ten o'clock to two o'clock in the middle of the night, two pieces of blue-grade saltpeter kept the temperature of the room for four hours.

When he first sent a voice communication to Li Wenxi's tree house, it was only a little past five o'clock.

And at that time, Li Yajun couldn't wake up and couldn't get through the voice.

From two o'clock in the middle of the night to five o'clock in the morning, it was only three hours.

Moreover, Li Yajun will not be able to wake up from heatstroke as soon as the room temperature becomes hot, right?

It also takes a while to settle.

In other words, the three pieces of blue-grade saltpeter used later were consumed in about two hours.

……Why?

Li Wenxi also reacted at this time: "Huh? This time is really wrong... But, let me just say, how can someone as careful as Yajun have problems because of this kind of thing."

She took Li Yajun's shoulders: "It's your fault!"

Li Yajun shook his head: "It's really my problem, I didn't think carefully, if you didn't come here, I'm afraid I really..."

But she also has some doubts.

Why?

She obviously put an extra piece.

"It's not because the saltpeter is big or small, and the time of saltpeter is different?" Li Wenxi speculated.

Li Yajun shook his head: "No, although the blue-grade saltpeter does vary in size, the difference is so small that it can basically be ignored, and I added an extra piece."

"Then... putting an extra piece will dissolve at about the same speed, but it will make the temperature lower?" Li Wenxi argued.

"Even if that's the case, there won't be such a big difference." Xu Xin shook his head, denying this idea.

"Well... indeed, the difference is too much..."

"...My idea is that during the period of time you fell asleep, there was another period of continuous high temperature, so even though you put an extra piece of saltpeter, it was still consumed early." Xu Xu Xin speculated.

This was the most reasonable explanation he could think of.

High temperature will speed up the consumption of saltpeter, which has been proved by Qi Xuefei's cultivation room.

"This..." Li Yajun was lost in thought.

"It was hot again last night?" Li Wenxi was a little surprised, but nodded immediately, "It should be like this, otherwise, Yajun is so careful, this situation will not happen. This kind of weather is too troublesome... "

Normally, the coldest time of the day is before sunrise.

That is to say, from when Li Yajun went to bed at two o'clock in the middle of the night to sunrise, the temperature should keep dropping.

According to common sense, the three pieces of blue-grade saltpeter she prepared should not cause problems.

However, there are too many things that go against common sense in this world.

They were indeed wary of things that would happen at night, but including Xu Xin, they all felt that even if there was danger at night, it was something like the invasion of mutant creatures.

But I didn't expect that it might be high temperature in the middle of the night!

No one expected that there would be high temperature at night!

"This possibility is the greatest." Li Yajun also agreed with this point of view, "In a high temperature environment, saltpeter will be consumed too quickly, but...why does the temperature soar in the middle of the night when there is no sunlight?"

She was still very puzzled.

"In this world, there are so many reasons." Li Wenxi felt that such a thing was useless even if he considered it, "Then why do you think it was twenty or thirty degrees below zero one day, and soared to forty or fifty degrees above zero the next day?" Woolen cloth?"

"This..." Li Yajun was speechless.

Indeed, it is really difficult to speak the truth in this world.

"...But that is also a sign." Xu Xin shook his head and said, "Even in this world, accidents will not happen for no reason. The temperature is too high now, obviously because of the sunshine. I don't think it will bring us to The people here can control the stars and the intensity of the sunlight, so if there is an explanation, it is likely that there is something wrong with the atmosphere of this planet."

The atmosphere is the life-protecting umbrella of a planet, absorbing and conserving heat, preventing a planet from getting too hot or too cold.

On the earth, where the altitude is high and the air is relatively thin, the temperature difference between day and night will be much larger than that of a place with a lower altitude, and it is precisely because of this.

Moreover, the sunlight in high-altitude areas will be particularly strong, and the skin of people who usually come from high-altitude areas will also be darker because of this.

Therefore, the current problem is likely to be that the atmosphere has been tampered with, and there are some problems that make today's sunshine so fierce and the temperature during the day very high.

It's outrageous, but at least it works. After all, didn't humans on earth also create several large holes in the ozone layer?

But... what happened at night?

Did the temperature suddenly rise at night?

Not only did it not decrease, but it increased?

hateful……

His tree house has a constant temperature system, as long as the windows are not open, it will not be affected by the outside temperature, which makes the survivors living in his tree house, including himself, realize nothing at all last night.

They just feel like they've had a normal night.

But...if the temperature suddenly soared again last night as he had guessed, then the tree house without a constant temperature system might have problems like Li Yajun's.

Those people, if they can survive, someone must know something.

But now the channel system is blocked, he can't get information from the regional channel world channel at all.

The people around him all live in tree houses with constant temperature.

Even Ji Chaoyang, who was very concerned about the changes in the environment every night, found nothing last night.

Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly.

What happened last night must be clarified.

This abnormal phenomenon at night may be the breakthrough point of this scorching heat!

Moreover, they don't have any other directions to work hard now. After the scorching heat, that mysterious voice has not appeared once.

"I'm going to someone else's tree house area, what are you going to do, are you with me, or..."

"You go first, I will accompany Yajun to rest here for a while." Li Wenxi said, "Besides, I still have to go to the smelting room and come back to pick us up when you are done."

"Go to the smelting room now, isn't it hot?"

"It's hot too, but the smelting room is already very hot, and I'm used to it."

Coming out of Li Wenxi's tree house, Xu Xin directly activated the portal and went to Wen Guixin's side first.

And it just so happened that Wen Guixin just swung down from the tree house.

She looked anxious at this time, and she was startled when she saw Xu Xin, and her face showed vigilance: "Who are you?"

Xu Xin's whole body was covered now, only a pair of eyes were exposed, so she couldn't tell who it was.

"It's me, Xu Xin!" Seeing that she was about to draw out her weapon, Xu Xin hurriedly explained.

"Xu Xin?" Wen Guixin heard his voice, and was a little surprised, "Why are you dressed like this, are you going to rob? But you came just in time, something happened to me! It's just...you come to me first Come in the tree house, it's too hot outside!"

Coming to her tree house, she began to briefly describe the situation this morning.

It turned out that in her tree house, someone got up early, then walked to the window and glanced at the rising sun outside the window.

The result can be imagined.

The man's scream woke up most of the people in other rooms, and then some people habitually got up in the morning to look out the window, and it happened to be on the sunny side, and they were injured again.

Some injured people even shouted: "Outside...! The sun...!"

Then someone looked out curiously because of this: "What's wrong with the sun...ah!"

After everyone had almost figured out the situation, the eyes of the six people had been hurt by the sun.

The most serious person, even with his eyes closed tightly, his eyes were bleeding outwards.

Wen Guixin also ran over to understand the situation when she heard the screams, and then gave them pills for treatment.

After dealing with the situation, she immediately planned to contact other people, but found that no one could be contacted.

Their side is not as close as Xu Xin's side, and the tree houses of several people are far away from each other.

It's too far away, so I can't contact you directly!

Therefore, Wen Guixin asked these people to stay in the tree house honestly and stop looking out, and then hurried down to try whether the teleportation array could be used.

It turned out that Xu Xin was teleporting over.

Xu Xin nodded.

This is basically the same as what he imagined.

In the case of cutting off contact with the outside world, someone must try and make mistakes to figure out the current situation.

The price Wen Guixin paid here is not small, but fortunately there are pills that can restore the injury.

This is still a situation with many people, if there is only one person...

Then you can only try it yourself.

The other survivors in this world are probably in dire straits and howling constantly...

"It's like this..." Xu Xin also briefly explained the current situation to her.

"The sunshine today..." Wen Guixin murmured.

"So, it's better not to go outside." Xu Xin pointed to the place outside the shade of the canopy of the tree house where the sun shines, "Otherwise, your skin may be sunburned immediately."

"No wonder you wrapped yourself up like this." Wen Guixin understood the situation, and then sighed, "Then it's really hard for you, it's very hot to wear like this, I was so hot just a few seconds ago , you are so tight..."

"I have a random increase in high temperature resistance today, I am not hot." He briefly explained.

"Random boost? Well, this thing of yours is really convenient." Wen Guixin is not very interested in random boost, after all, it has nothing to do with her, "I understand the situation, but I didn't notice anything last night. I'll ask. Did those people notice anything unusual last night?"

She went downstairs, and soon came up again.

"How?" Xu Xin asked.

Wen Guixin shook her head: "They all slept well last night, no one noticed anything unusual."

Also normal.

Without Wen Guixin's permission, these people could not go down from the tree house.

On such a hot day, even if they woke up, they would not be free to open the window.

So even if there was a high temperature last night, these people would not notice it.

Just like the survivors who lived in the tree houses of Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, they found nothing.

After bidding farewell to Wen Guixin, Xu Xin immediately rushed to the next tree house.

Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu are currently boarding at the tree houses of Zhao Xiaochuan and Wang Lei respectively, so he quickly ran through the two tree houses to understand the situation.

The situation is basically the same, the chaos experienced by both tree houses has now stabilized.

It's a pity that the situation is the same on their side, and no one noticed anything unusual last night.

"You couldn't have made a mistake, Brother Xin?" Wang Lei scratched his head and said, "Why is it suddenly so hot at night? There's no sunshine at all."

Xu Xin frowned.

...At present, only the situation on Li Yajun's side can point to the abnormality that occurred last night.

"In short, don't run out today, just stay in the tree house."

"Understood Brother Xin, I just wanted to take a vacation for myself." Wang Lei agreed, "I just can't contact the outside world, and I feel a little restless."

It seems that the mobile phone has lost the signal and the network, and anyone who put it on it will panic.

Back to Li Wenxi's tree house, picked up the two of them, and returned to his own tree house again.

Then he contacted Ji Chaoyang and told him the current situation.

"...I don't know about the abnormality at night, but it is indeed a big doubt. We will know what happened at night tonight."

Xu Xin thought so too.

I won't sleep tonight.

Tonight, he wants to see if there will be any abnormalities.
