Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 733: Chapter 472 Shi Wanyun’s Request (5200 Words)

Help!

Xu Xin’s eyelids twitched hard.

What’s going on?

What’s happening over there with Shi Wanyun?

Is the situation so urgent that she sent me a private message for help at the first instant she received the connection notification?

He immediately replied: ”What’s happening on your end?”

If it’s a danger that could threaten someone as strong as Shi Wanyun, possibly the strongest in District 1...

Ordinary survivors probably won’t be able to defend against this kind of threat!

If such an event occurs in District 188, right next to them...

No, this has to be clarified immediately!

”What happened, why aren’t you speaking?” On the other end of the call, Li Wenxi asked curiously, seeing Xu Xin silent for a long time, ”What happened?”

”What’s wrong?” Lou Fei’Er, beside him, saw Xu Xin’s slightly shocked and heavy expression and leaned over to look at the screen projected by his watch.

Then she saw the message from Shi Wanyun and also widened her eyes in surprise: ”Shi Wanyun contacted you? She actually asked you for help?”

Lou Fei’Er’s words attracted the attention of others around.

They all looked towards Xu Xin.

Xu Xin nodded and frowned: ”The moment we connected, she sent me a cry for help.”

The others also came to look at Xu Xin and Shi Wanyun’s private message.

”Help...” Ji Chaoyang also frowned slightly, ”It seems this situation is more dangerous and complex than we previously imagined...”

Indeed.

Xu Xin’s expression grew more serious.

He initially thought this crisis might not directly affect District 188 much.

From the number of deaths, District 188 has lost only a dozen people.

Moreover, since they advised everyone to stay in their treehouses and not go outside, District 188’s population has not decreased, likely because every survivor in District 188 has powerful crossbows, making these dangerous entities hesitant to approach the treehouses.

But if this danger can directly threaten someone of Shi Wanyun’s caliber, then perhaps...

It could cause massive casualties!

Xu Xin waited a long time in the private message interface with Shi Wanyun, but after sending ”Help!” she never replied.

He sent two more messages, but there was still no contact from the other side.

And no one else received her distress message.

... What’s going on?

Could the crisis be so severe that she can’t even reply?

Her first message was just two urgent words without any useful information, making it difficult for Xu Xin to help her.

”Forget it, since things here are done, you guys can go back first.” Xu Xin looked up, ”I’ll let you know if anything happens.”

”Alright Brother Xin, then we’ll head back first.” Wang Lei nodded, ”But, are you staying here?”

”Yes. Calculating the time, Niu Fugui should be arriving soon, so I’ll wait here for him.”

Everyone else left one by one, and soon, only Xu Xin and Lou Fei’Er were left near the Transmission Array.

”Leave it to me.” Lou Fei’Er patted her chest, ”You can go back, there must be a lot to do after connecting with District 1, right?”

That works.

Lou Fei’Er is also an array activator and naturally has access to array operations.

”Alright, be careful. The jungle isn’t exactly safe right now.”

Xu Xin surveyed his surroundings with heightened vision, carefully scanning the area but found no abnormalities.

... In the future, I should bring Keke when venturing out.

”Also, once Niu Fugui arrives, quickly bring his group to the explorers’ side.”

”Got it.”

Xu Xin nodded and headed towards his treehouse.

”Finished?” Li Wenxi’s call had never been disconnected.

”Yes, any other matters?”

”What do you think! You forgot what you just gave me?”

Ah!

Xu Xin’s eyes lit up: ”Did you manage to refine that metal?”

”Hmm... Unfortunately, no.” Li Wenxi said regretfully, ”My furnace doesn’t reach the required temperature, it seems to be a fuel issue.”

Fuel?

”You’re using coal as fuel, right?”

”Yes, coal, but it’s mostly green-grade, seems not high enough quality.” Li Wenxi said helplessly.

”I even had your pangolin dig up a lot of coal from your underground resources, but... why is the coal in your mine only green-grade! Occasionally there’s a piece of blue-grade, but blue-grade coal is exceedingly rare...”

His coal mine only contains green-grade coal?

Now that you mention it, it does indeed seem that way...

He himself barely found any coal above green-grade.

”To refine that kind of metal...”

”Requires purple-grade or higher fuel.” Li Wenxi said.

... Purple-grade fuel?!

Indeed, it’s no wonder it requires meteoritic materials...

This is a level they simply cannot reach right now...

”And my furnace is stronger, usually it requires same-grade fuel—gold-level fuel!”

... Well, looks like they’ve taken quite a big step.

Purple-grade fuel is beyond what any current-stage normal survivor can access.
