Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1411 - 702: Good News and Bad News (3)

The group of people were cutting at different positions, and Li Wenxi had been calling out to them for over a minute just now.

If something happens, it’s extremely dangerous!

She looked at the holes that had been cut out.

Those holes were very hidden, all located close to the ground at the edges, covered by the Red Mist and basically undetectable.

But if the other side disperses the Red Mist and checks, they would be found out.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

”Huh?”

Everyone was immediately startled.

”That’s not right! We’re not at the time Ji Chaoyang predicted yet, are we?” Wen Guixin asked anxiously.

Their task wasn’t finished yet!

”What’s the good news then?” Li Wenxi asked, looking up.

”The good news is...” Xu Xin stroked little Keke’s head in his arms, ”Three of the four alien invaders’ giant ships have been destroyed, only one ship returned, and it’s visibly damaged severely.”

Xu Xin’s words left everyone present stunned for a few seconds.

”Huh?” Zeng Tao opened his small mouth wide.

”What?!” Wang Lei was dumbfounded, ”This... was it Brother Chaoyang and his team? Are they really that strong?!”

”That can’t be true, can it?” Qin Fu doubted, ”Do we have such capabilities on our side?”

”Yeah, that’s the main ship of the alien invaders!” Lou Fei’Er’s eyes widened, ”If we can handle their fleet, why are we sneaking around... wouldn’t it be better to confront them head-on?”

Xu Xin shook his head: ”Not exactly, as far as I know, they got caught in a time vortex.”

He briefly recounted the experiences of the two of them on this trip.

”You even discovered another Crimson Crystal,” Wen Guixin said in surprise, then waved his fist, ”Great, we should destroy that too!”

”Isn’t the focus elsewhere?” Wang Lei said bitterly, ”The alien invader’s leader is back, and that leader doesn’t seem afraid of the Crimson Crystal’s glow. What if it comes down?”

”Then we kill it when it comes down!”

Wen Guixin clenched his fists: ”I’ve already killed quite a few of them, what’s there to fear?”

”But that’s the leader of the alien invaders, it won’t be that easy to kill...”

Xu Xin sighed as well: ”In any case, now...”

”Wait a minute...!”

Suddenly, Li Wenxi softly interrupted Xu Xin.

”There’s a mechanism entering through the entrance above!”

Everyone’s faces changed immediately.

They’ve come so quickly!

”They’re here to check! Those holes...”

Wen Guixin whispered.

”Let’s hide in one of the holes first.” Xu Ying suggested quietly.

”Follow me.”

Jin Yue took the lead and walked to the front.

The group then quickly squeezed into the nearest hole.

”I have to say, this hole is indeed very concealed.”

Xu Ying whispered.

The hole was small, only big enough to crawl through, and close to the ground, you wouldn’t see it if you didn’t stoop down.

”Wenxi, what’s the current situation...” Xu Xin asked.

”Hmm... Many small machines have entered! But they don’t seem to be the jellyfish-like ones from before, rather...”

Li Wenxi looked up towards the top.

”They’re machines clearly equipped with weapon-like muzzles. But they’re similar in size to the previous jellyfish-like machines.”

”Phew... the leader also came in!” Xu Ying whispered.

Everyone’s hearts tightened immediately.

”Silence,” Xu Xin immediately whispered.

The experiences of him and Xu Ying in that room were still vivid.

That creature could sense where sounds were coming from.

Talking now could very likely let the leader locate this hidden hole through sound.

That creature’s tentacles were so flexible, it’s much easier for it to probe everywhere.

Everyone fell silent.

Outside, the voice of the alien invader’s leader was heard.

”——————!————!”

”——————,———!!!”

The voice was extremely hoarse, as if it was screeching.

It sounded agitated and frantic.

Everyone present heard it.

No one else understood it, but Xu Xin did.

”What happened! How did this place get infiltrated in such a short time after I left!”

”That traitor actually came back! It took advantage of this moment to return! I’m so angry, I want to kill it!!!”

”Did it manage to take my crystal...? ”

Xu Xin knew, the traitor it mentioned should be the creature that helped them by drawing away most of the aggressive agents.

It’s unclear where it is now.

Outside the Crimson Crystal, the Red Mist hadn’t dispersed.

The alien invader leader didn’t disperse the Red Mist.

Maybe in its view, having the Red Mist made it safer.

Xu Xin found that Li Wenxi had suddenly grasped his hand tightly.

He sensed Li Wenxi’s tension.

He looked at her, and his heart sank.

Li Wenxi showed a hint of terror.

Because she discovered those mechanical flying devices had surrounded the Crimson Crystal!

Each flying device was just one or two meters away from the Crimson Crystal.

They seemed to be scanning the Crimson Crystal, checking if there was anything abnormal.

But how could the Crimson Crystal not be abnormal!

Several holes had been carved into this Crimson Crystal!

If they find out...

Li Wenxi looked anxious, but she didn’t dare speak for fear of exposing them, and could only grip Xu Xin’s hand tightly.

”————,————.（Carefully check, do not miss any spot.）”

”——————.（That traitor is extremely cunning.）”

Xu Xin immediately understood why Li Wenxi was like that.

His eyelid twitched.

Even though the hole they were in now was hard to find, but...

Above the Crimson Crystal, there was a passage Zhao Xiaochuan had cut straight into the core of the Crimson Crystal!

Even though he made a turn during the cut and covered it slightly, so it was not obvious at first glance.

But with mechanical scanning...

It’s almost impossible to miss!

What to do...

If they find it, what will the other side do?

Damn it...

The leader’s premature return completely disrupted their plan!

”————,—————?————.（Old thing, you’re finally back, why does it take you so long to deal with earthlings? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.）”

At that moment, a raspy and unpleasant voice rang out again.

Wen Guixin’s eyes lit up upon hearing the voice, pointing outside and signaling to everyone.

This wasn’t the alien invader’s leader’s voice, but rather...

The voice of that creature.

”It’s come to help us again!”

Wen Guixin mouthed to the others.

”————,——!————!!（You traitor, how dare you come back! Get it! Kill it!!）”

Outside, came the exceptionally angry voice of the leader.

”——————,————.（Hey, what’s with your ship being so damaged, all full of holes, just right, I’ll raid for some goodies inside.）”

”————!!——!（Stop right there!! Everyone, chase it!）”

The outside became extremely chaotic.

After a few minutes.

”They left,” Xu Ying said softly, ”That leader should have left.”

”Those machines have also left,” Li Wenxi added.

Everyone let out a long breath of relief.

”We owe it to that creature!” Wen Guixin said.

”That creature... led the leader away.” Xu Xin squinted his eyes.

They... went to that one giant ship that returned, didn’t they?

He looked at Xu Ying, who was also looking at him at that moment.

”Bro, I...” Xu Ying hesitated.

She clearly wanted to check out that giant ship.

The ship probably contained something she needed.

Xu Xin gave her a light nod, then turned to the others and said, ”For the spots we’ve completed, let’s place our nuclear weapon inside first, then continue working on the other spots. This way, even if another problem arises, we can detonate it. Even if we’re not 100% done, it’ll still have an effect.”

After all, that’s all the nuclear weapon can do.

The final finish will require more potent weapons.

Xu Xin had some in his wristband.

At the same time, there were some on that giant ship too.

Moreover, there might be other good things on the giant ship, definitely worth a look.

With Xu Ying around, they could return anytime, so there was no need to overly worry.

At that moment, Li Wenxi held Xu Xin’s hand, looking at him.

She realized that Xu Xin was about to leave again.

”This time, I have to go with you!”
