Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 614: Chapter 418: This Cold Winter Should Also Come to an End_2

Lou Fei’er was afraid that Xu Xin might put her into the bracelet out of anger, so she quickly changed the subject: ”Just now in the space bracelet, Jin Yue told me that she also wants to mutate and have such power. Do you think we should agree to it?”

Oh?

Jin Yue wants to mutate?

Hmm...

It seems... feasible.

”No wonder she just said she wanted to stay with you.” Xu Xin mused.

”Yeah, after all, I’m the maker of the pills and the first one to become like this,” Lou Fei’er confidently patted her chest. ”If I take her under my wing, there’ll be no problem. I’ve talked to her; she genuinely wants to become stronger now.”

After experiencing such things due to her weakness, wanting to become stronger is natural.

”If her leg is healed and she still chooses you, I won’t stop her.” Xu Xin said.

Perhaps, it might really be possible to let Lou Fei’er recruit volunteers and form an army of mutant survivors?

Wasn’t there just a ”General” who joined? And who’s also a mutated being.

”Alright, I won’t pursue this matter anymore,” Xu Xin waved to her, ”go help those two.”

”Oh, oh, okay!” Lou Fei’er quickly turned and ran, afraid of being put into the bracelet if she stayed longer.

Xu Xin then sent a message to Qi Xuefei and, after confirming she was in the tree house, teleported over.

Upon entering her tree house, Qi Xuefei led him into a room that resembled a medical room, with many unknown medical devices around.

He released Jin Yue.

Surprisingly, Jin Yue wasn’t as nervous or excited as Xu Xin expected when she saw Qi Xuefei.

Because in her heart, she had already decided to become one of the mutants and gain strong physical abilities.

Lou Fei’er also told her about Ma Hongwei, whose whole skeletal structure was shattered but eventually recovered.

So she wasn’t afraid that Qi Xuefei couldn’t heal her.

Qi Xuefei just took a glance and nodded, ”I can treat her. Half an hour should be enough. You can go about your business, leave this to me.”

Xu Xin nodded to the two women and then left.

When he returned to his own tree house, he saw that, two hundred meters away in two directions, two tree houses had already sprung up.

One was a blue-level tree house, and the other was a small green-level tree house.

The former belonged to Qin Fu, the latter to Zeng Tao.

Although Zeng Tao was living in a low green-level tree house, he didn’t particularly care about the tree house’s grade.

Just now, when he asked Jin Yue if she wanted a blue-level tree house, she didn’t even blink, suggesting she really didn’t mind.

However, what she wanted wasn’t much less valuable than a blue-level tree house.

Purple-level colossal blades consumed too many materials.

Xu Xin raised his hand to check the time.

At this moment, it was already close to ten o’clock in the evening.

He opened the explorer channel and found others busy with their tasks.

After all, with more people now, the division of labor planned earlier could finally start being implemented.

Wang Lei: ”Brother Xin, Brother Chaoyang, when will you make more decorative items? Their decoration level is too low, and functional areas are practically non-existent...”

Zhao Xiaochuan: ”Indeed, and their tree houses are too small. Creating a planting area inside a tree house is less efficient than planting outside...”

Li Wenxi: ”My place is okay; I can even put a furnace in the small room, but their decoration level is indeed too low, totally relying on my special furnace’s effect.”

Ji Chaoyang: ”I’m still outside. I might not have time to make artworks for a while. You could check the world trading platform. Back during the rainy season’s leaderboard, over fifty people appeared. All of them should be able to create artworks.”

Wen Guixin: ”I’ve checked already, but there isn’t much. At this stage, they likely lack decoration items and won’t sell them.”

Xu Xin: ”We can use blue-level iron weapons and armor to exchange for decorative items. I can produce a batch. In this field, we still have a strong advantage.”

Creating decorative items requires time, but weapons and armor don’t. Low-level decorative items can be exchanged in large quantities.

And Xu Xin planned to stop producing low-level artworks and focus on high-level ones.

”By the way,” Xu Xin informed them of the abilities of the two people he had recruited today.

Ji Chaoyang: ”The ’General’ and ’Elf King,’ huh? There’s a chance they also have giant remnants over there.”

Qin Yunlong: ”This Elf King is part of my family, sharing the same surname Qin. We’re both Kings, Sea King and Elf King.”

Qin Yunhu: ”?”

Wen Guixin: ”’General’? Little Loli ’General’? Can I come over to see her now? She has a combat talent like me, it’s making my hands itch.”

Zhao Xiaochuan: ”Wait, wait, that Elf King... wouldn’t he be more suited for my place? Let him come help me, Brother Xin!”

Wang Lei: ”Amazing, another two ability users added. Brother Xin already has so many ability users over there, right?”

Indeed.

Ma Hongwei, Qin Fu, Zeng Tao, they’re all ability users.

Even Lou Fei’er, in the dungeon, gained the ability to craft mutation pills.

Adding himself, there were already five ability users within his tree house range.

Just as Xu Xin was about to say something, his watch began to vibrate.

It was Niu Fugui’s voice message!

He finally returned!

Xu Xin immediately answered the call.

”Brother Xin, I did it! Hahaha!” Niu Fugui’s voice was filled with excitement.

Even though returning to the tree house took him nearly two hours, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.

”I saw it, well done!” Xu Xin also praised, ”Across the whole world, only about thirty people have managed to climb up.”

”It’s my first time on the leaderboard, Brother Xin, have you seen the regional channel? Hahaha, everyone’s discussing why someone ranked over two thousand managed to climb Xue Feng!” Niu Fugui’s voice remained very excited.

After praising him a few more times, Xu Xin asked, ”Did you look for the shortcut entrance before coming back?”

”I did, Brother Xin,” Niu Fugui confidently replied, ”I found both of them, actually. They emit a faint purple glow, very noticeable at night. I also don’t need the purple-grade red berries you mentioned earlier.”

Purple-black glow, huh?

The entrance he and Ji Chaoyang found before was closed and very inconspicuous.

It seems that’s because the entrance had become inactive and closed.

”Good. Near you, can you find two survivors from area 188?” Xu Xin asked.

”No problem; I already encountered one near Xue Feng, and after explaining, he got excited and told me he knows there’s another person nearby. Ah, he just PMed me saying he’s contacted the other one and can set out tonight!”

Niu Fugui, who first left a voice message for Xu Xin upon returning to the tree house, only saw the private message now.

”If you can ensure safety, then go do it tonight. In dungeon-like shortcuts, day and night don’t matter. I’ll send you some supplies; you can share them with those two. Always be careful, even with shortcuts,” Xu Xin advised, then sent him a bunch of blue-level fruits, as well as suits and weapons.

”Don’t worry, Brother Xin, wait for our good news tomorrow!”

After climbing Xue Feng, Niu Fugui clearly gained more confidence than before.

Hanging up, Xu Xin let out a sigh of relief.

That matter was nearly complete as well.

Looks like tomorrow, the third transmission array might be acquired!

Oh, right.

Xu Xin took out a few purple-grade red berries from his backpack.

He should also inform other survivors about the way to discover these shortcuts.

This cold winter should come to an end too.
