Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

At this moment, Xu Xin could finally look out of the window with confidence.

It was the first night since the jungle returned to its full bloom.

It had been a long time since he had seen a jungle in such a lush night.

Always feel a little flustered.

After all, under this lush jungle, I really don't know what is hidden.

He opened the window, and a gust of hot air rushed in.

At this time, the temperature outside the window was about forty-two or three degrees.

Such a high temperature is already relatively comfortable under the current scorching heat.

At this time, Li Wenxi also walked to his side and looked out: "Now the jungle is starting to be noisy again."

really.

In this hot weather, there is not much wildlife activity, but the bugs have basically begun to recover.

The chirping of cicadas, the chirping of crickets...

In an endless stream in the ear.

It even makes people feel a little noisy.

It is true that there are more mosquitoes in summer, but the high temperature is 60 degrees at noon now. I did not expect these mosquitoes to survive in such a high temperature, which is a miracle.

Xu Xin closed the window to keep out the heat and the sound of insects.

The temperature is pretty normal now.

According to Li Yajun's description, even if there is an abnormal temperature around, it will be after two o'clock in the middle of the night.

If the situation tonight will be the same as last night, it should be considered safe now.

At this time, Lou Feier's voice came from under the tree house.

By her side, Jin Yue was still following.

Why did the two come here together?

With doubts, Xu Xin took the two of them to the tree house.

"Something abnormal!" Lou Fei'er's first words made Xu Xin's heart skip a beat.

She and Jin Yue both had puzzled and solemn expressions on their faces.

"What did you find?" Xu Xin asked.

"Are you in danger?" Li Wenxi also asked concerned.

"I haven't encountered danger, but..." Lou Feier frowned, "There are too many bugs outside!"

Too many bugs?

The corners of Xu Xin's eyes trembled slightly.

He was still thinking that it was a wonder that those bugs could survive in such a high temperature, so Lou Feier and the others focused on the bugs.

"What bug?" Xu Xin asked, "Flying bug?"

"There are all kinds of bugs." Lou Feier said, she showed a slightly disgusted expression, "There are bugs on the ground, on the trunk, in the canopy, and in the sky, and there are bugs everywhere in the jungle!"

"Ah?" Li Wenxi immediately got up and ran to the window to look out again.

Then she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, there are none around the tree house."

"There are indeed none around the tree house now." Jin Yue said, "But these bugs appear too fast."

It turned out that the two took turns patrolling outside for a day, and the situation has been relatively normal.

It is true that there have been insects chirping in the jungle since the morning, and there are quite a few flying insects, but they are all within the normal category.

It is not much different from the situation in the jungle before the leaves fell.

So the two didn't care much.

However, when the sun was about to set, the situation suddenly changed.

The number of swarms in the jungle suddenly increased!

About half an hour after the sun went down, the number of bugs began to increase exponentially!

Up to now, if you walk two steps, you can see one bug, but now you can walk two steps and kill several bugs!

Even the various tree trunks in the jungle are covered with all kinds of bugs. If you reach out to help them, you may be able to crush several of them to death!

"And!" Lou Fei'er felt that the whole person was not well, "There are also a lot of flying insects! I didn't cover my mouth and face in the jungle, but I did cover it later. I feel that one mouth can Eat it and get a few!"

As she spoke, she patted the clothes she was wearing now, with a look of lovelessness on her face.

"Yeah—" Li Wenxi shrank her neck and leaned towards Xu Xin.

That sounds disgusting!

"Are bugs only in the jungle?" Xu Xin had some doubts about this.

He couldn't see any bugs at all in the tree house, he could only hear the sound of insects.

"Well, before dark, those bugs have been moving in the shadows in the jungle, because they are also afraid of being exposed to the sun." Jin Yue said, "But..."

She turned to look out the window.

It's completely dark now.

The sun has faded.

Xu Xin understood what she meant.

It was completely dark now, and those flying insects might not be confined to the jungle anymore!

Likely to crawl out and fly out!

Come to the tree house!

Xu Xin stood up immediately: "Wen Xi, go and tell the people below not to try to open the window, I'll go down and have a look!"

"Oh good!"

"Coco, are you going out with me?"

"Hey!" Ke Ke jumped a few steps away, shaking his little head violently.

For it, the outside is not as comfortable as the inside.

Xu Xin was a little speechless.

This little guy used to go out with him whenever he went out, but now, he doesn't even go out.

Looks like it's still too hot outside for it.

Xu Xin didn't force it anymore, and took Jinyue and Lou Fei'er down the tree house.

It was already dark now, and he no longer needed to wrap himself up tightly. As for the current temperature, for him now, he didn't feel anything at all.

【High Temperature Resistance】is working.

There was only about 100 meters of open space around the tree house, and the three of them soon arrived in the jungle.

Ten meters away from the jungle, Xu Xin heard some hurried footsteps in the jungle, and then, a small figure rushed out of the tree house.

Then he continued to rush forward and rushed to their side.

"Little Taozi, why are you here?" Lou Fei'er was a little surprised, "Didn't you just go back?"

"I can not stand it any more!"

Zeng Tao rushed out with one hand covering his mouth, while the other hand was flapping wildly around. Even though he had reached Xu Xin and the others, the other hand was still flapping wildly around.

"Okay, okay, there are no more bugs."

Hearing what Lou Fei'er said, Zeng Tao stopped what he was doing, and began to gasp for breath.

She just rushed all the way out of breath.

Xu Xin looked in the direction she was running from.

The scene that came into view made him subconsciously widen his eyes.

It's dark in the jungle and you can't see anything.

But the outer part is illuminated by moonlight and stars.

It can be seen that a large circle of flying insects has already flown out of the jungle at this time!

They are flying around in groups around the jungle. Under the starlight, they look like clusters of dense black spots moving around, making people not want to get close to them.

Xu Xin immediately took out a blue-level red berry and ate it, gaining night vision ability.

"I'm going crazy! My tree house is full of bugs!" Zeng Tao squatted on the ground with tears in her eyes, her head in her hands, "What the hell is going on! Why are there so many bugs!"

"...Did you leave the window open?" Jin Yue asked.

"...Only one window was left open..." Zeng Tao hugged his legs and sat on the ground with a tired face, "I didn't know that bugs would get in... Besides, there are so many bugs..."

"Okay, okay, then you can live in my tree house, I don't have bugs there."

"No, I want to live in Xu Xin's tree house! Living with you is no good!"

"You little girl is still disgusted!"

"What's the matter, I just despise you, what's the matter!"

At this time, Xu Xin had already reached the edge of the jungle.

The closer to the jungle, the more ear-piercing the sound of insects.

Of course, in the final analysis, they were just small bugs of normal size. Compared with those big bugs in the underground world, the sound was much weaker, and he had already gotten used to it.

Lou Fei'er and Zeng Tao were still fighting face to face, while Jin Yue followed Xu Xin over.

"Brother Xin, if you want to go in, you'd better find something to cover your face." Jin Yue suggested, "Otherwise, you really can't breathe."

Xu Xin looked at the swarm of insects in the jungle.

The bug swarm was not aggressive at all, instead of flying towards him as he expected, they crawled and danced in the jungle on their own.

The swarms of insects in the air did not fly randomly in the jungle as Xu Xin had imagined, but instead looked somewhat orderly.

Every one or two meters, there is a large group of insects forming a constantly changing ball of insects in the air, fluctuating within a meter range.

On the ground and on the trees, there are not as many as Lou Feier described just now.

On most of the trees, there are still no insects.

However, any tree that has insects crawling on it is densely covered with insects.

It doesn't look like a disgusting bug, but a black beetle.

The bugs on the ground are also in groups, from time to time in the form of a large group in the air, but...

Like marching ants, they lined up one by one and crawled on the ground in strips.

As long as you are careful, you still can't step on it.

"This..." Seeing this scene, Jin Yue was slightly taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xin asked after hearing her doubts.

He took a slight step back, dodging the swarm of flying insects that seemed to be flying towards his face.

At the same time he looked down at the ground beneath his feet.

Outside the jungle, on the ground where the sun can shine during the day, there are bug corpses near the jungle.

These should be bugs that wanted to crawl out and fly out of the jungle during the day, but under the sunlight, they probably didn't survive for a few seconds before dying in the venomous sunlight.

Then, paved the ground.

densely packed.

Full of dead bugs.

"When we left just now, the state of this group of bugs was not like this." Jin Yue explained.

"Huh? What was it like just now?"

"The situation just now, just like Fei'er said, was chaotic." Jin Yue frowned.

At this time, two other people also came over.

"Why, you guys still want to go in!" Zeng Tao looked wary, "I won't go in anymore! I'm going to you guys!"

Lou Feier was very surprised: "Ah? Why are these bugs so regular all of a sudden?"

It seems that it is indeed what Jin Yue said.

The insects began to move regularly.

regular activity...

Xu Xin felt a bad premonition.

Although each of these bugs is very small, there are a lot of them.

If they show their power collectively, they must not be underestimated!

Moreover, not only their own power, they may also carry some viruses and the like, which will also pose a certain threat to the injured survivors.

Zeng Tao's tree house has been verified. These bugs can climb into the tree house!

As for why her tree house is different from Xu Xin's tree house, being occupied by bugs...

That's probably because she didn't cut down the surrounding tree houses after planting her tree house.

Therefore, when the jungle became lush again, the canopies of these trees were connected with Zeng Tao's tree house.

There is no sunlight around her tree house as a barrier, and naturally, like other trees, it is occupied by a large number of bugs.

but……

Seeing the bugs who were already trying to fly out of the jungle, Xu Xin's heart sank.

The main tree house has sunlight as a 100-meter isolation zone during the day, so it is not afraid of insect attacks, but not at night!

These bugs are likely to attack his tree house at night!

Unexpectedly, this hot summer will be so sad!

High temperature during the day and swarms of insects at night!

but……

If the windows are closed, there should be no problem, right?

After all, when the sun rises tomorrow morning, most of the bugs around the tree house will naturally be wiped out.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, thin, strange sounds began to pass through the jungle.

"Crackling..."

"Crackling..."

The sound is getting louder and louder, gradually comparable to the sound of insects!

"Ah! These bugs on the trunk are eating the trunk!" Lou Feier suddenly pointed at the trunk in the jungle and exclaimed.

Xu Xin looked intently.

really!

Those bugs lying on the trunk, each one, are shaking and moving slightly!

"Crackling..."

Voices came from all directions in the jungle!

Several trees that were crawling with bugs began to have their bark removed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the trunks were exposed in a few seconds!

Then it was gnawed at a very fast speed and became thinner, and thinner again!

Immediately afterwards, a group of flying insects in the air suddenly rushed to the crowns of the trees that had been eaten, and began to frantically eat the leaves that had just grown!

"This...!" Xu Xin's pupils shrank suddenly.

These bugs will eat trees!

Then it must be able to cause damage to the tree house!

The other people present also thought of this question, and everyone's expressions changed.

"My tree house!"

Zeng Tao suddenly exclaimed.

"My tree house is going to be eaten!"

really.

Her tree house might not be able to be kept.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as the main tree house does not die, the parasitic tree house can be reborn.

"Is there anything important in your tree house?" Xu Xin asked.

"Hmm...no." Zeng Tao shook his head, "All the important things are in my backpack. Is the blue-level bed considered an important thing?"

"It doesn't count." Lou Fei'er said, "We have a lot of blue wood. Don't think about your tree house."

"Oh, okay." Zeng Tao also thought that her tree house could be regenerated, but it didn't matter. "However, these bugs can't be left alone, can they? Won't they fly over to eat the main tree house? Our heavy crossbow, There is no way to prevent this kind of bug!"

This is what Xu Xin is thinking about now.

Swarm...

what to do?

"boom!"

At this time, a tree was finally gnawed down by the worms climbing on the trunk, and then the worms on the ground quickly climbed up the fallen tree and began to gnaw more quickly!

And the bugs that were originally crawling on the trunk began to quickly move towards another tree, climbed up this tree, and started eating again!

The speed of eating is so fast!

There must be a way to keep the treehouse from being eaten like this too!

...There is a way, although it is not very safe, but you can give it a try!

He immediately took out a torch from his backpack, rubbed the head of the torch on the ground, wiped out sparks, and ignited it directly!

In hand, the flame and light of the torch illuminate the surroundings.

fire.

This is what Xu Xin thought of.

Insects are generally phototaxis.

They fly and crawl towards places with light.

The electric mosquito device on the earth relies on this principle.

Sure enough, when the torch was lit, the insects in the jungle immediately attracted their attention, and a large number of flying insects wanted to fly towards Xu Xin!

"ah!"

"Throw away the torch!" Lou Fei'er jumped back two steps and shouted.

Xu Xin inserted the torch into the dry cracks in the ground, and immediately stepped back.

Sure enough, those flying insects flew towards the torch one by one!

Then rushed into the fire and was burned to ashes!

Even so, the surrounding flying insects still rushed towards the nearby light!

efficient!

Xu Xin looked back at her tree house.

His tree house is powered on, and the tree house at this time is brightly lit at this time!

Probably because of the sunlight during the day, most of the swarms dare not rush towards the tree house for the time being, but they are getting closer and closer to the tree house.

There must be no light in the treehouse tonight!

Also, he needs to surround the tree house with a circle of fire again like the previous tree house defense battle to isolate the ant colony from attacking.

That way, maybe the bugs won't notice the treehouse!
