Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 565: Chapter 385 Reaction Force Amplification

When he woke up the next morning, it was a little after six.

At this time, the outside of the treehouse was still pitch black.

Judging by the pattern of the past few days, the sun probably wouldn’t rise until between nine and ten today.

Xu Xin deftly pulled his barely feeling arms out from under Li Wenxi’s head, rubbed them, and stretched a bit.

”Mmm...” Li Wenxi murmured lightly as her pillow was taken away, pulled the quilt over, and turned over to sleep again.

Keke, who somehow ended up at the head of the bed, was also curled up asleep.

At this moment, Xu Xin’s ears rang with a notification sound.

[Detected that the treehouse decoration level exceeds 500, you have received today’s random enhancement: Reaction enhancement, effect lasts for one day. Additionally, you may choose a second historical enhancement.]

Reaction enhancement?

With a burst of coolness in his head, he became somewhat awake, a clarity different from a Spiritual Power enhancement.

Confused, he immediately tapped open the random enhancement page.

[Reaction Enhancement: Significantly increases survivor’s reaction speed, possibly even surpassing the limit.]

Reaction speed he understood.

It’s the ability of the human body to quickly respond to stimuli such as sound, light, and touch, which is greatly influenced by genetic factors.

The average person’s reaction time is between 0.2-0.3s, while a trained athlete can achieve between 0.1-0.2s.

Currently, the scientific community recognizes that the human limit for reaction speed is 100ms, or 0.1s.

In sports, false starts are not about starting before the signal gun goes off, but the time it takes for an athlete to react to the gun after hearing it, less than 0.1 seconds would be considered a false start.

And this reaction enhancement seems to improve this type of ability.

He felt that his reactions had indeed improved significantly, even his state was much more energetic.

Not bad.

Perhaps now he had surpassed the limits of the human body.

During the last beast tide attack, he had been tackled by a snow leopard, injuring his shoulder.

If he had this enhancement at that time, along with his physical ability, he might not have been knocked down by the snow leopard at all, he might have even counterattacked directly.

This is a good ability.

It can greatly enhance the ability to respond to sudden situations.

Just as it happens, today they were going to deal with those three people in Area 187, this reaction enhancement was just perfect.

As for the second enhancement...

Perhaps he should choose the affinity enhancement.

The affinity enhancement could significantly reduce the alertness of others.

After glancing at Li Wenxi and Keke, who were still sleeping soundly, Xu Xin got out of bed.

He got dressed, walked to the window, and looked outside.

The surroundings were pitch black, no sound of insects, no bird calls, not even the sound of the wind.

A dead silence.

The snow layer in the jungle was only over a meter thick now, it seemed that it might almost melt away today.

Light had already appeared in the window of Lou Fei’Er’s treehouse.

She unexpectedly woke up this early.

It seemed that she was also very focused on today’s action.

He immediately sent a message to Lou Fei’Er: ”How’s your weak condition now?”

Just a few seconds after he sent the message, Lou Fei’Er poked her head out of the treehouse window to look in his direction.

Then immediately replied to Xu Xin: ”You’re up this early! Weren’t you tired from the battle last night?”

Xu Xin’s eye twitched slightly: ”Did you forget that certain bracelet is still on my wrist?”

”My bad, my bad. I’m still in the same state, approximately...only half of my strength? The remaining half might only come back after the weak condition passes.”

Half of her strength...

”But it’s not a big problem, I was weaker than now back when we dealt with Ma Hongwei.” Lou Fei’Er replied again.

Xu Xin nodded slightly.

In that case, it is acceptable.

Back then, when the two of them went to Ma Hongwei’s tree house, Lou Fei’Er’s mutation level was still low.

But now she had risen to mid-level.

The strength of mid-level mutated creatures is far superior to low-level ones.

Although she currently only had half her strength, even half of mid-level strength was much stronger than low level, stronger than she was back then.

However...

Just because there are few problems doesn’t mean there aren’t any.

The last time they attacked Ma Hongwei, it was only Ma Hongwei alone.

But this time, it was three people!

Even if they were to use wisdom, the difficulty of this operation was much higher than the last time.

So, they must come up with a way to make all three people fall into a trap together.

Xu Xin pondered slightly.

Never mind.

When the ship reaches the bridgehead, it will naturally straighten.

Who knows when they will arrive.

Plans can’t keep up with changes, let’s adapt to the circumstances when the time comes.

He had quite a bit of confidence in his ability to adapt.

As for Lou Fei’Er, he had even more confidence in her.

”Oh, by the way, last night, no survivors came, not even one.” Lou Fei’Er said, ”It’s a bit strange, weren’t there still more than twenty people left? By the looks of it, having around ten people coming over here shouldn’t be an issue, right?”

Did no one else come?

Xu Xin furrowed his brows.

Was there something going on last night?

If by ten o’clock today, if they still haven’t come before dawn...

hours will have passed.

They may never be able to come.

Xu Xin shook his head.

That would depend on themselves, he couldn’t offer any help.

”Did you contact those three from Area 187 again today?” Xu Xin inquired about today’s main task, ”Are they confirmed to come over today?”
