Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Riding on Silver King’s back was too safe, lacking excitement.

This is like the thrill of driving manual.

But it was indeed exhausting...

He could somewhat understand Qi Xuefei’s feelings on the wolf’s back back then.

In retrospect, Li Wenxi’s adaptability was really impressive.

Finally, after a stretch of riding, Xu Xin could manage Axue’s pace more or less.

But by then, they had reached their destination.

Looking at the lush green treehouse in front, Xu Xin swung himself down from the wolf’s back.

Lou Fei’er patted Axue’s head and looked up at the tree house, ”It’s really been a long time since we came back...”

Although this tree house had been unattended for a long time, it was still intact.

The entire tree house was covered with crossbows like a porcupine, making people reluctant to approach.

Apparently, those ”raiders” were just as scared.

Moreover, during this beast tide, the tree houses without survivors were not attacked, allowing this blue-level tree house to escape unscathed.

The two of them reached out to control the roots and entered the tree house together.

Inside the tree house, it was empty, with most of the items completely taken away.

Xu Xin glanced at the time; it was already close to eight o’clock.

There were still two hours until Yan Haoming was supposed to arrive at ten.

”Tidy up the inside of the tree house to make it look like someone has been living here,” Xu Xin said to Lou Fei’er, ”You brought all the stuff, right?”

”Of course.”

Lou Fei’er immediately took out one large item after another from her purple-level backpack and began arranging the surroundings.

”You even brought a bed?”

Seeing her run to the former bedroom and take out a bed, a blue-level one at that, Xu Xin was somewhat surprised.

”Why not just make one? You even brought a blue-level bed.”

”How could that be enough!” Lou Fei’er said while making the bed, ”A newly made bed would look new. All the furniture at home is brand new, it would look suspicious!”

”And, who am I? I’m the only one from Zone 187 who climbed Xue Feng’s summit.” Lou Fei’er finished making the bed, took out a bedside table, then placed a decoration on it and nodded with satisfaction.

Then she turned back and said, ”The only big shot from Zone 187 to climb Xue Feng, with all green-level furniture, that would be too shabby and fake.”

Sure enough, she’s thought thoroughly about this.

She again ran to the living room, took out a sofa, and pointed at it, ”Boss, just sit here and rest, don’t make a mess... I mean, leave it to me, you just relax.”

What a sarcastic remark.

Xu Xin shook his head helplessly and sat on the sofa.

Whatever, he preferred to relax anyway.

Opening the smartwatch, he looked at the explorers’ group.

They were already discussing the thirty or so people who hadn’t arrived.

Wen Guixin: ”Why didn’t anyone come last night? Where did the rest go? What’s going on with Xu Xin?”

Qin Yunlong: ”Could something have happened? Is there another danger at night?”

Wang Lei: ”Could it be that it’s too dark at night and hard to move around?”

Li Wenxi: ”There’s no one here with Xu Xin either. I just felt like something was missing, and now I realize, the rest didn’t come!”

Zhao Xiaochuan: ”Could they be dead...”

Qi Xuefei: ”You’re overthinking it, they’re still alive.”

Ji Chaoyang: ”Everyone is near the purple-black light pillar at the Transmission Array, I’m here now.”

Wen Guixin: ”Huh? Then why didn’t they come over?”

Ji Chaoyang: ”It’s too dark, they can only find the direction of the purple-black light pillar. They can’t find the direction of the tree house, can’t contact us, and don’t dare to walk around, so they can only wait near the light pillar.”

Xu Xin suddenly realized.

So that’s it.

Those who came during the day could directly see the tree house nearest to the light pillar, so they came straight over.

But after dark last night, it was really pitch black around, and there was no way to explore once near the light pillar.

Without blue-level berries, these people only relied on torches, which had too short a visible range.

It was basically impossible to find the location of the tree house a kilometer away.

So, they waited around the purple-black light pillar.

However...

Xu Xin: ”You’re there now, right? How’s the situation with the stone statues? They didn’t disturb the stone statues in the giant pit, did they?”

He directly sent a trio of questions to Ji Chaoyang.

Ji Chaoyang: ”That’s what I wanted to tell you. One pterosaur statue is missing, now there’s only one left.”

What?!
