Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 622: Chapter 423: A New Day, 4 Pillars of Light Rise! (5,000-Word Chapter)_3

Hey, don’t they have a sound prompt for activation?

When the previous three arrays were activated, there was no list, but there was a sound prompt.

Including the activation area, activator, and rewards.

But how come Xu Xin didn’t hear it?

Normally, a sound prompt would definitely wake him up.

Could it be that he was too deeply asleep last night?

In his private messages, Niu Fugui sent him a message around three in the morning, telling him that everyone had arrived, and they were ready to set off. If all went smoothly, they should be able to climb to the summit by the next morning, then activate the array.

After that, there was no more information.

Wow, three in the morning?

Right, he needs at least two people on his side.

Ordinary survivors trekking long distances to others’ tree houses, a four or five-hour walk is quite normal.

But, gathering at three in the morning and immediately heading out, it seems the three on his side were very excited.

He wasn’t overly worried about their mental and physical state, as he had given them plenty of blue-grade oranges and apricots, so not sleeping wouldn’t be a big issue.

Xu Xin sent Niu Fugui a message: ”How’s the situation now?”

With no response.

Thinking it over, Xu Xin understood.

He must have taken the two to find a shortcut at the snow mountain and waited there, not yet returning.

After all, no one knows how long it’ll take to climb using the shortcut, maybe they’ll finish in an hour?

Currently, there’s no snow layer, and according to Niu Fugui, it took him two hours to walk back from the snow mountain.

Which means if they set out at three...

Then they would have arrived by five.

They’ve just been climbing for an hour now.

Alright, all that’s left is to wait.

Hopefully, the three will quickly succeed in climbing Xue Feng and activate the array.

At this point, he noticed someone had sent a message on the explorer channel at midnight.

It was Ji Chaoyang.

Around three and four in the morning, Ji Chaoyang sent some messages.

At about three he said: ”It’s three now, a dark purple pillar of light shot up into the sky from the east. I checked the leaderboard, it should be the light pillar from Zone 1. But there was no broadcast this time, not sure if it’s because reports don’t happen at night or if only the top three get announced world-wide, there’s only the pillar rising.”

At four, he said: ”Another light pillar, according to the leaderboard, it’s from Zone 23.”

This guy, observing at three and four in the morning?

Xu Xin immediately chatted privately with him: ”You stayed up all night?”

They were planning to explore underground at the Transmission Array today.

About ten seconds later, Ji Chaoyang replied: ”Last night you sold some red berries, I wanted to see how many arrays would be activated tonight. Unfortunately, it’s just two. Don’t worry, I rested well even though I didn’t sleep, it won’t affect today’s exploration.”

Xu Xin was quite surprised.

Really stayed up all night!

”Then what about your random boost today...?”

The random boost ability requires the tree house owner to sleep in the tree house to gain the boost.

And the sleep period must be three hours.

If he stays up, then he wouldn’t get the random boost which greatly enhances power?

”Don’t worry, I had thought about it. I slept earlier and woke up at one in the morning.”

Alright, this guy is thorough as always.

Xu Xin put his worry aside.

”Alright then, as long as it doesn’t affect today’s exploration.”

Xu Xin’s movement woke up Li Wenxi in bed.

”Hmm... What time is it?” she rubbed her eyes, reaching for the watch on the bedside.

But she couldn’t find it after searching a long time.

”It’s past six now, time to get up for mining,” Xu Xin rubbed her cheek as he spoke.

”Hmm...?” Keke also woke up.

”Mining...? Not in a hurry...” Li Wenxi turned over, wanting to sleep more, but Xu Xin smacked her bottom, making her get up reluctantly.

”Hmph, what’s wrong with sleeping a bit more,” she muttered, rubbing her eyes.

”Today, we intend to explore underground at the Transmission Array,” said Xu Xin, ”It’s best if you don’t go, there are unknown dangers underground, and we lack mineral resources now.”

”Exploring underground...? Ah!” Li Wenxi’s eyes widened, waking up, ”I’ll... Alright, I’ll take them mining then. You guys had better be careful; they’re surely related to those statues!”

Both got up, and Li Wenxi also saw the light pillar outside.

”People outside the zone are diligent, activating arrays overnight,” Li Wenxi leaned by the window to look outside, ”These two close ones are from Zone 1... Ah! Look quickly!”

She tugged at Xu Xin next to her, her voice excited: ”Look quickly, those two light pillars are connecting!”

Xu Xin looked out the window.

Sure enough, the two light pillars in Zone 1 were slowly arching towards each other, drawing closer and gradually crossing.

Then, instantly merged!

Another arch-shaped purple-black celestial bridge spanned across the sky!

This time, Zone 1 also achieved a connection between two places!

At this moment, Xu Xin heard a prompt in his ear.

[Zone 1 has connected two Transmission Arrays, enabling transportation. As an activator of the Zone 188 array, you can choose whether to establish a relationship with Zone 1, realizing mutual communication between tree house systems. Once interconnected, both zones’ survivors can privately chat like same-zone survivors, and join the same group chats.]

...Wow!

The tree house systems of two zones can actually interconnect?!

Currently, survivors of both zones can’t privately chat, trades are only through the world trading platform in auctions, private trades aren’t possible.

Now, when both zones connect their arrays, this can actually happen?

This bow-bridge-like array, could it be a signal antenna...
