Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 878: Chapter 520: The Prestige of Area 188!

Inside the room, Xu Xin, Li Yajun, Lou Fei’Er, Jin Yue, Shi Wanyun, and Zeng Tao were all shocked by the sudden situation.

”What? What’s happening?” Zeng Tao, who was originally immersed in the joy of obtaining treasures, was suddenly thrown off by a remark, ”What do you mean? Regional conflict? So regional conflict really exists!”

Lou Fei’Er, on the other hand, seemed to recall something, her eyes widening slightly: ”Ah, Xiaotaozi, do you remember what the leader Zhang Daoguang of Area 187 said to us? The regional conflict is inevitable, but I didn’t expect it to come so suddenly.”

Regional conflict...

Xu Xin’s expression also turned slightly grim.

The matter of regional conflict was something Ji Chaoyang knew about from underground exploration during the treehouse defense battle, and he hadn’t told anyone what he discovered back then. He merely informed them that it was a selection process and there would definitely be regional conflict in the future.

It seems he needs to inquire about the situation at that time in detail.

But... are they really going to be enemies with all the survivors?

Downstairs, the survivors living on the second floor also started to clamor.

Le Youfang and Niu Fugui, who were somewhat familiar with Xu Xin, were urged by the crowd and rushed upstairs.

”Boss, what’s happening! Did you do something earth-shattering?”

”Are we going to be enemies with all the other regions? So the regional conflict is real!”

The two were also visibly shocked.

The mysterious voice had just said, ”Survivors of Area 188 violated survival rules,” which utterly shocked them all!

The matter of ”regional conflict” had been more or less forgotten by most survivors.

Previously, there had been an uproar in the world channel regarding regional conflict. At that time, it was Area 188 that stepped forward, urging everyone not to engage in regional conflicts and offering substantial aid to outsiders, gradually calming the situation down.

And now, the issue is being brought up again!

If, because of this, they were to be regarded as enemies by survivors from all other regions, it certainly wouldn’t be good.

You know, they are all humans from the past. If they could unite, who would want internal strife among humans!

Their enemies should be those alien invaders!

”Don’t panic.” Xu Xin first calmed his chaotic mind and said to those around him, ”Even if there is any regional conflict, it won’t affect us as much as it affects the people in other regions.”

The few people around gradually snapped out of their shock.

”That’s right!” Lou Fei’Er immediately agreed, nodding to Xu Xin, ”The survivors of other regions are too far behind us to pose any real threat.”

”Now that you mention it, indeed...” Zeng Tao’s expression gradually relaxed.

At this point, Xu Xin’s watch suddenly vibrated.

He raised his hand and saw that it was a call from Ji Chaoyang.

”Xu Xin, what did you encounter this time?” Ji Chaoyang asked directly as soon as the call connected, ”That mysterious voice gives me an upturned table feeling? Have you really touched something significant?”

”... I indeed discovered too many things this time.” Xu Xin rubbed his temples, feeling a bit troubled: ”I’ve received so much information lately I truly don’t know where to start.”

”How about we all come to you and discuss it in person together?” Ji Chaoyang suggested.

”Sure, I was thinking the same. By the way, did you see what happened here?”

Xu Xin was referring to the hillside sinking underground and the emergence of the Crystal City.

”No, I had the curtains in the treehouse drawn before sunrise to avoid unnecessary damage from sunlight. I just found out about the disappearance of your hillside and the sudden appearance of a... That’s why I contacted you.” Ji Chaoyang said, ”Alright, I’ll contact the others and head over immediately!”

”Good!” Xu Xin hung up the call, pondering what to do next.

At this moment, Zeng Tao swiped at the holographic projection from her watch, exclaiming, ”Ah, the watch’s communication has fully restored! I can contact others now!”

Communications are restored?

Right, exactly. Now that the scorching heat has been forcibly stopped, the communication restrictions that came with it have naturally been lifted!

He immediately attempted to call Li Wenxi again.

Unfortunately, the call still didn’t go through.

Xu Xin frowned.

...Where exactly is Wenxi now?

It’s no longer just a matter of her personal safety.

Honestly, if Wenxi voluntarily went with Yingying, Xu Xin wouldn’t be too worried about her safety.

The choice made by the two most important people to him in this world probably wouldn’t cause any major issues, most likely they just didn’t want him to know about some things, so they sneaked away.

But...

Now it’s no longer just about Wenxi!

The regional conflict has already arrived and, judging by that mysterious voice’s table-flipping demeanor, they are likely to face more attacks.

And Li Wenxi’s ability is a crucial source of resources!

If she’s not around, without a stable supply of ores, their weapons, armor, tools, and a series of equipment would likely run out completely!
