Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

This little pterosaur was very close to Xu Xin, completely unguarded against him, with its eyes closed and a small expression enjoying Xu Xin's touch.

"It's so cute!" Xu Ying's eyes lit up, she squatted down and reached out to touch it, but it turned her head away.

"Ah—" the little pterosaur flapped its wings and screamed, showing a little resistance to Xu Ying.

"...Why you can touch me but not." Xu Ying and the little pterosaur stared wide-eyed.

Xu Xin immediately activated his mind reading ability.

【Do not touch me! 】

[People other than the master can't touch me! 】

The little pterosaurs called him master.

"Little guy, are you that giant egg?" Xu Xin asked immediately.

"Ah!" The little pterosaur rubbed Xu Xin with its head.

Boy, really!

The dome had already shown signs of hatching during the previous hot summer activities.

Because he has not been here during this time, the task of incubating the giant eggs has always been given to the pangolin Aifei, and the three pangolins are taken care of by Li Yajun, who has the knowledge and ability in this field.

He has been very busy during this time, and has not paid attention to the hatching progress of the dome.

And now, that giant egg that can move around at will before it hatches has actually hatched a creature!

Counting it, more than a month has passed in the World Tree, and it is normal for the dome to be able to hatch within this period of time.

But it's a... pterosaur?

Xu Xin has seen petrified pterosaurs before, but this little pterosaur in front of him seems to be different...

Where is it…?

"Ah, Brother Xin is back! And is that... Brother Xin's younger sister?"

"I finally saw brother Xin again. It's been half a month, right?"

"It can't be said that it's finally over. It's only been a few hours outside."

"Brother Xin! How about it, isn't the home we built wonderful!"

All survivors had smiles on their faces that they had never seen before.

The crowd gathered around.

But before the crowd gathered around, the little pterosaur had already taken off into the sky and flew to the previous fruit forest.

Xu Xin chatted with the survivors who gathered around.

During this period of time, they have been building this area, and they have hardly rested except for sleeping and eating.

But each of them is very satisfied.

"Haha, Brother Xin, we are not tired. Compared with the outside world, we are now playing a construction game!"

"Oh, I have had a dream since I was a child, that is, to build a region of my own just like in the game. Unexpectedly, it actually came true in this world!"

"What is this world? This is the earth, okay? You should say that your dream has finally come true after a thousand years~"

"...? Why does it sound so miserable? Besides, I'm talking about the world in the World Tree!"

Amidst the joyous laughter of the crowd, Xu Xin asked Ji Zhaoyang and the others where they were now, then bid farewell to the crowd and walked over there.

Infected by this atmosphere, Xu Xin sighed: "Oh, they live so comfortably, I don't even want to go out."

"Well...Me too." Xu Ying said enviously, "After we transfer the technology from the underground world, we need to produce weapons and equipment for a period of time. It just so happens that I can live here for a while."

If this area used to be like a township, it is now like a villa area.

"There is even a stream?" Xu Xin looked at the stream not far away, passing through this area, a little surprised, "How did this stream appear? Where did the water come from?"

This reminded him of the memory that Shi Wanyun passed on to him, the area where the woman named No. 5 lived also had a stream.

"Don't forget, this is inside the World Tree, if you want water

It was too easy. "

When the two walked to the edge of the stream, Xu Ying picked up a handful of water, took a sip, and showed a satisfied expression: "As expected of the spring water of the World Tree, it's really sweet!"

"The spring water of the World Tree?"

Xu Xin looked at the stream, and saw that there were even some small fish and shrimps wandering in the flowing stream.

"Well, the water drawn by the World Tree is purified by the World Tree and provided to the people inside the World Tree."

Xu Ying stood up.

"This is also one of the unique abilities of the World Tree. It purifies water resources. Even by the sea, in places full of poison, or even in the desert, as long as a World Tree is planted, the World Tree can extract sufficient water. Moreover, All are very high-quality, directly drinkable World Tree spring water.”

she explained.

"... World Tree is worthy of being researched by alien invaders, and it is full of strategies." Xu Xin sighed.

Just this one function, before a thousand years, would have existed like a country's most important weapon.

"No, that group of monsters did not deliberately study this." Xu Ying shook her head, "Water is the source of life for life on Earth, but not for those alien invaders. As far as I know, they don't need to absorb water at all." .

The World Tree can purify water resources, probably because the prototype of the World Tree, the banyan tree, itself needs to absorb a lot of water, and we can only share a piece of it..."

"Wait." Xu interrupted her, "You just said that alien invaders don't need water to sustain life?"

"As far as I know, no need." Xu Ying nodded, "Not only do they not need it, but they also seem to hate water very much, and they don't even want to touch liquid water."

"Is that so..." Xu Xin said to himself.

"Uh... it's just a rumor we had at the time. I don't know if it's true or not. It's an unconvincing rumor, but everyone said that at the time."

Xu Ying glanced at the crystal clear stream.

"The news is coming from those zealots who even regard water as something very unclean, and who regard the need to ingest water as an inferior expression of life on earth."

Alien invaders don't need water...

"But the alien invaders are life after all, and they always need some necessary substances to maintain their life, right?"

Xu Xin thought for a while.

Life is life after all, and if the common water resources on Earth are not essential to their life, what are they really essential to?

"We don't know about that." Xu Ying shook her head.

"At that time, we also thought about this problem. If this kind of substance is very scarce on the earth, it is equivalent to finding their weakness, but... until the end, there is no gain."

"Also, it's not known whether it's true that alien invaders don't need water. Of course, this information also influenced our decision-making."

"Part of the reason why we set up the underground human base under the sea is because of this somewhat illusory information. If they really hate water, they should not go near the sea."

Is there such a reason?

"Perhaps it is because of this that they have not attacked the creatures and resources in the sea so far." Xu Xin speculated, "After all, a race that can swim among the stars, if it is not because of fear of water, it will really be unable to conquer the sea ?"

"It makes sense for you to think so." Xu Ying tilted her head and thought about it.

The two left the creek, and everyone in the explorers also knew that Xu Xin and Xu Xin had returned, and came to look for them one after another.

Everyone entered the meeting tree house again.

After Xu Xin told everyone the information they had obtained from their trip, everyone was lost in thought.

"It seems...the other party is really helpless against our World Tree." Ji Chaoyang said, "Now they seem to be thinking about defeating us from within."

"That's right." Xu Xin nodded, "They can't control the World Tree, so

If you want to enter the World Tree and drive us to extinction, as long as we die, the World Tree will not be a threat. "

"Yingying, will the World Tree wither with the death of its master?" Li Wenxi, who was sitting next to Xu Xin, asked Xu Ying.

"No." Xu Ying shook her head, "The World Tree is not as fragile as the tree house. When the holder dies, the World Tree will become an open form without an owner. It is said that the World Tree can be held again in a certain way. What is it specifically? I don't know the way."

"Is it like the ownerless world tree you just said, which can be teleported in at will?" Wen Guixin leaned on the sofa, frowning, "Isn't that just entering and exiting at will? Then if you die ...I said, why don't you and Xu Xin stop running around all the time, in case something happens outside..."

"Just do one thing, and the next step is to go to the underground world and bring up everything that should be brought up."

Having said that, Xu Ying glanced at Zeng Tao, who was drowsy with trembling eyelids: "After that, our weapons factory can start operating at full capacity, and then we need the survivors to show their talents, especially you , Zeng Tao."

"Huh...!?" Zeng Tao opened his eyes, "I...? Oh, ok..."

After speaking, her eyelids trembled again.

At this time, Qi Xuefei explained: "Because it is always daytime in World Tree during this time, and everyone is busy, eat when hungry and sleep when tired, which caused everyone's work and rest to be a little messed up. Zeng Tao It should be time to go to sleep by now."

"...um...my schedule...it's not messed up! It should be night now..." Zeng Tao tried hard to open his eyes, and then pointed to his watch, "I'm so sleepy...let me sleep..."

As she said that, she fell down on the sofa, causing the whole sofa to make a "creaking" sound.

Xu Xin was also slightly stunned.

No wonder he walked all the way just now, except for the first group of people, he didn't see many people along the way.

Now is the normal bedtime!

The world tree was always on like the outside world, and he completely forgot about it.

"So, shouldn't it be time for us to adjust the time in the World Tree?" Wang Lei didn't say much, because he was a little sleepy. "Everyone's work and rest are so chaotic, won't there be any problems?"

"I didn't care about it during this period of time for construction." Ji Zhaoyang looked out the window, "It seems that we really need to regulate the time and time. Otherwise, it will still be the same when the weapon factory starts to operate, and the efficiency will be low. Only regulate the time , in order to better connect the shafts, seamlessly connect, and run all day long.”

People on the night shift replace those on the day shift to achieve the highest efficiency.

"Wow, it's a capitalist..." Zeng Tao opened his eyes and then closed them again.

"Hehe, I'm doing this for the good of everyone." Ji Zhaoyang said helplessly, "They don't need me to supervise them, they are too cruel to themselves now, if they don't regulate themselves, they will get excited, and they will not be able to rest for 20 or 30 hours. It's the norm."

"Well... from the state of those people we just met, it is indeed the case. But why?" Xu Ying couldn't understand, "Now that there is so much time in World Tree, and it is so safe and leisurely, why do they work so hard? "

"Maybe they had enough free time in the previous half month." Qin Yunlong smiled, "After you gave us so many production blueprints, they all went crazy one by one, building their surroundings like crazy."

"Isn't it?" Li Wenxi complained, "People have come to block me every day these days, begging me to give them more resources, and some of them even started to build towers and metal statues. They are really busy. I directly refused, it’s not such a waste of resources!”

Wang Lei laughed loudly: "Haha, have you ever played that kind of...farming and construction games before? I can see it, and their group of people regard this place as a realistic version of that kind of game.

Think about it, we have blueprints and tree houses. Take building a house as an example. Walls, roofs, etc. can be easily synthesized. We only need to design and stitch them together.

Is it the same as in the game? "

"Oh, those guys regard the construction area as entertainment? No wonder everyone is so excited..." Wen Guixin shook her head, "I don't understand, what's so fun about that kind of game."

After a few people discussed some things, they left separately.

Ji Chaoyang approached Xu Xin alone: ​​"Xu Xin, I have a new view on my prophecy."

"What's the meaning?"

"Tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning from the outside world, those petrified creatures will come over collectively, but they... don't seem to come to attack us."

Xu Xin was startled for a moment, and then his eyes flashed: "You mean, they came... to seek refuge with us?"

"I have this kind of speculation, but I'm not sure, so I plan to discuss it with you." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Those petrified creatures have no intention of attacking, and I have extended the prophecy as much as possible these days, and then, I saw a acquaintance."

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes: "Chang Yin?"

"That's right, if that person is on our side, then...the group of petrified creatures is probably friendly."

Those petrified creatures are Changyin's masterpiece, and it's normal that he can control them.

If it's him... it's really possible that he's taking refuge, it's a friend!

but…

"You're right, but...it can't be ruled out that the other party used Xuelan and Xiaohong to threaten Changyin to attack us." Xu Xin was not so optimistic, "You didn't see the other two, did you?"

"Hmm~www.NovelMTL.com~ No. So I also considered that. What do you think should be done?"

"...Yingying and I will go to the underground world immediately and transfer the weapon production line up. We will do our best to manufacture weapons and deal with the worst possible situation. Although Yingying said that World Tree has strong defense and self-healing capabilities, I don't think so. Don't worry." Xu Xin stood up.

"Well, this is the safest way."

Ji Zhaoyang nodded, and then smiled: "However, you don't have to rush away, just rest here for a day or two. Take a day off, the outside world has only passed fifteen minutes, don't be in such a hurry, just enjoy it It’s the result of our construction during this time.”

Xu Xin also smiled: "I thought you just came here to urge me to leave quickly after you said so much."

"Do I look so ignorant?"

Ji Chaoyang shook his head with a smile and said, "Hurry up and go to accompany your Wenxi. You have been away for half a month. She is not in a good mood during this period. If she is in such a bad mood, it will not work. Our resources But it's all up to her."

"OK."
