Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1479 723: Tension After Fatigue (Part 3)

She covered her ears and buried her head.

...

An hour later, the three of them walked out of the villa.

Li Wenxiʼs face still had a hint of blush.

Xu Ying cast a sidelong glance at the two, feeling a strong urge to make a snide remark.

And coming towards them were Lou FeiʼEr, Zeng Tao, Jin Yue, and Shi Wanyun.

The four of them were still living in the villa across the street.

In the past three months, they occasionally came over to visit.

”Letʼs do this together... oh~”

Lou FeiʼEr looked at Li Wenxi, teasingly saying, ”Did you do something before coming out?”

Li Wenxi nudged her irritably, ”Youʼre such a blabbermouth.”

”When will you let me join in too?”

”In your dreams, maybe in your next life!” Li Wenxi glared at her.

”Donʼt be so heartless~” Lou FeiʼEr clung to her arm.

Shi Wanyun and the others laughed as well.

The group seemed very relaxed.

Within the World Tree, it was always this kind of atmosphere.

The so-called ”conference room” Xu Xin mentioned earlier was actually the treehouse they frequently used for meetings.

They arrived quickly.

They were practically the last group, and with them, everyone was here.

The meeting started hastily and ended quickly too.

Because preparations were indeed very thorough.

It was basically just some discussion of details.

And personnel allocation.

The people going to the alien invadersʼ stronghold were Xu Xin, Xu Ying, Li Wenxi, Zhao Xiaochuan, Lou FeiʼEr, and Zeng Tao.

The others would stay at the World Tree to handle issues regarding the combat vehicles.

As for why the most powerful Wen Guixin didnʼt go along, it was because, despite her powers, they werenʼt very useful against alien invaders.

Meanwhile, Xu Xin and the others already had weapons capable of killing alien invaders. Lou FeiʼEr was brought because she was agile and could draw her gun quickly.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this jungle had started to regenerate life again.

In just one day, the jungle previously devastated by nuclear blasts had come back to life, even growing patches of new saplings.

These saplings hadnʼt grown into towering trees yet; their trunks were only as thick as an arm, but they already had the look of a jungle.

Since the jungle had been reborn, naturally, it wouldnʼt lack animals.

Perhaps attracted by the Crystal City and the World Tree, the jungle was now once again teeming with diverse species.

To everyoneʼs surprise, the giant spaceship wreckage was also attracting creatures.

But wasnʼt there supposed to be radiation over there!

Perhaps due to the giant beast bloodline, the creatures approaching the spaceship wreckage didnʼt die from the radiation; instead, they mutated rapidly.

Perhaps due to some leaked energy from the spaceship, some even developed blood-pattern mutations, covered in delicate red lines.

This resulted in the area around the spaceship wreckage being filled with ferocious mutant creatures.

So, it wasnʼt safe over there either.

Thatʼs why Wen Guixin and the others stayed behind to handle the dangers over there.

Wen Guixinʼs abilities were indeed a mighty weapon for dealing with mutant creatures.

”Exciting and exhilarating!” Zhao Xiaochuan was a bit excited, ”Going back again, we must see how our efforts are paying off over there!”

”Iʼll blow them up!” Zeng Tao raised her seemingly weak little fists and swung them twice.

The reason she was brought was that she could carry the heavy nuclear missile launcher for direct firing!

She was practically a walking nuclear missile launcher.

Over at the World Tree, they wouldnʼt use nukes unless necessary.

But as for the alien invaders, it didnʼt matter; if it needed bombing, itʼd be bombed all the same!

After all, they didnʼt live over there.

”Alright, letʼs rest tonight and set off tomorrow.”

The meeting adjourned.

Resting for one night naturally meant a night in the World Tree.

Although itʼs perpetually daytime inside the World Tree, they had naturally established a timeline inside.

It was already equivalent to 8 PM at the moment.

”Brother Xin, Iʼll head back first.” Zhao Xiaochuan bid farewell to Xu Xin, ”Tomorrow weʼll head out together! Donʼt worry, no matter how chaotic it is over there, Iʼll definitely make sure you guys wonʼt get discovered!”

Zhao Xiaochuan left.

But Lou FeiʼEr and the others didnʼt go back; instead, they came over to Xu Xinʼs side.

The word was these girls planned to stay together tonight.

Xu Xin didnʼt refuse.

They were probably here for Xu Ying.

”Brother, make sure you lock your room door tonight.” Xu Ying teased.

”Lock the door?” Xu Xin was puzzled, pointing to the main door of the villa, ”Itʼs always locked.”

”I mean the door to your bedroom.” Xu Ying couldnʼt help but laugh.

”Oh! Right, lock it!” Li Wenxi nodded emphatically, ”You have to lock it, Iʼm afraid someone might sneak in on you at night!”

”What? Do I really seem like that kind of person to you?” Lou FeiʼEr looked aggrieved and protested.

Li Wenxi glanced at her, ”I didnʼt say who it was, donʼt act like itʼs about you if itʼs not.”

”Hmph~ Meanie.”

”What does meanie mean, do you really want to sneak in at night!”

”Actually, even if the door is locked, there are many ways to solve it,” Shi Wanyun chuckled softly.

”Ah? Come on, I get it now, none of you are trustworthy!”

”Hey, can we not talk about such inappropriate topics?” Zeng Tao placed her hands on her hips.

”Hmm, I can trust Zeng Tao,” Li Wenxi patted her on the head in satisfaction.

”Donʼt treat me like a kid!”

The girlsʼ bickering gave Xu Xin a bit of a headache.

He quickly went upstairs, cradling Keke.

”Donʼt forget to lock the door!” Li Wenxi called after him.

Laughter still echoed from downstairs.

Such a life was really so easygoing.

To be honest, if Zhao Xiaochuan hadnʼt mentioned it today, he might even want to...

Delay it for another day if he could.

After all...

He looked at Xu Ying.

Although she was all smiles at the moment, it always seemed like she was somewhat worried.

But this was also what she was hoping for.

”Eep...?”

Keke lifted its little head in Xu Xinʼs embrace.

”Come on, Keke, letʼs go to sleep.”

”...Eep?” Keke tilted its little head.

It had been sleeping all day, so it wasnʼt tired.

So, it wriggled out of Xu Xinʼs arms and ran downstairs to play.

”Little rascal...”

Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, returned to his room, lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and slowly closed his eyes.
