Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1448 - 714: Detonate—Shatter the Source of Life! (Part 2)

As long as their actions are fast enough, this time they can avoid alerting the enemy!

”Good!”

Xu Ying clearly had the same thought as Xu Xin, and she grabbed both of their wrists.

”Wait a moment, we still...” Li Wenxi exclaimed in shock.

But she hadn’t finished speaking before the three of them disappeared from the room.

Leaving only the distorted control panel in the center of the room, emitting a fluctuating scarlet glow.

...

Meanwhile, around the concentrated scarlet crystal.

”Aah... why haven’t the three of them come yet!”

Wen Guixin was already getting somewhat impatient.

Lou Fei’Er was pacing back and forth, muttering to herself, ”No way, they haven’t run into trouble, right? Shouldn’t be the case...”

Jin Yue was standing nearby with a furrowed brow.

”You, you, you...” Zeng Tao was flustered from Lou Fei’Er’s pacing, ”Can you stop walking around! They can’t possibly have run into trouble!”

”Hey, if the bosses run into trouble...” Qin Fu showed a resigned expression, ”Then we’re done for, we can’t even get out.”

”Don’t... don’t say such unlucky things!” Wang Lei punched him, ”Brother Xin has Yingying with them, how could anything go wrong! Impossible!”

Zhao Xiaochuan tugged at his protective film, also feeling anxious: ”One layer of my protective film has already failed, and the second layer is almost done for. If we keep waiting, even if the alien invaders don’t come, we’ll be affected by the scarlet crystal!”

Everyone checked their protective films upon hearing this.

”Xu Xin! Hurry back!” Wen Guixin punched the scarlet crystal next to her twice, her eyes red behind her sunglasses.

Her eyes weren’t red from anger, but from prolonged exposure to the extremely bright environment.

Not just her, everyone else’s eyes were red too, needing to rub them every few seconds.

The sunglasses weren’t much help.

”Alas, Brother Xin... hurry back, if you don’t, we’re really done for...” Zhao Xiaochuan sighed, no longer busy cutting.

”Ugh... they shouldn’t have run into trouble, right...” Lou Fei’Er was very nervous, ”With Yingying there, it’s unlikely...”

Before she finished talking, suddenly their feet started shaking violently!

Accompanied by a deafening roar!

The sound was so loud it made everyone’s heads buzz, and with the trembling ground, everyone instantly lost their balance and fell to the ground!

”What’s going on?! What happened!” Wen Guixin quickly got back up as soon as she fell, looking around with extreme alertness.

But the surroundings were still shrouded in a thick scarlet mist, making it hard for her to see what was going on.

But she noticed that the red mist was... slowly dissipating?

”Everyone be cautious, the red mist is about to dissipate!”

Wen Guixin immediately alerted everyone: ”Once the red mist completely dissipates, alien invaders might enter here!”

”The explosion noise earlier...” Jin Yue rubbed next to her ear, ”It seems like the sound of an explosion from the direction of the teleportation beam. Did Xu Xin set off a nuclear weapon?”

”Maybe they found other scarlet crystals and blew it up.” Lou Fei’Er guessed, then sighed in relief, ”But it seems like they didn’t run into any trouble, that’s great...”

To them, this loud noise was surely caused by Xu Xin’s group; otherwise, why would alien invaders set off fireworks in their own base?

”Isn’t it possible it was the monster?” Qin Fu asked.

”Uh... can you say less?” Lou Fei’Er glared at him.

Qin Fu shrugged: ”I was just...”

At that moment, a dark purple vortex suddenly appeared beside and under them.

Then, three people quickly emerged.

”Ah! This feels awful...!”

Before anyone could speak, Li Wenxi shouted in agony.

”Ahhhh...!!”

And Keke suddenly screamed.

They teleported so hastily, they forgot to put on the protective film!

And they didn’t wear sunglasses, their eyes almost blinded in an instant!

The brightness was far greater than before.

This mind-blowing sensation was truly unpleasant!

Quickly, the three of them simultaneously put on the protective film.

Then all put on sunglasses.

Finally feeling somewhat better.

”Uh...” Xu Ying looked embarrassed, ”Sorry, I...”

”I just asked you to wait a moment...” Li Wenxi complained while rubbing her temples.

”Ah, ah! Ahhh! Ahhh!”

Keke, who was originally resting comfortably in Xu Xin’s arms, was suddenly hit hard, causing it to cry out irritably.

”It’s alright, Keke.” Xu Xin pressed Keke back into his arms.

”You guys finally came back!” Wen Guixin breathed a big sigh of relief, ”Fortunately, nothing happened.”

Although the others were startled by their return, they quickly reacted.

”Are you alright?” Lou Fei’Er stepped forward, concerned.

”We’re fine. What’s the situation now?” Xu Xin directly asked.

”We’ve been ready for half an hour now.” Zhao Xiaochuan quickly replied, ”The concentrated scarlet crystal has been riddled with holes by us. We planted a total of 36 nuclear bombs inside, ready to simultaneously remote detonate at any moment!”
