Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1093 - 594: The World Tree Has Matured (Part 2)

But with Wenxi absent, the resources they have on hand are dwindling, and her sense of unease is growing.

I really don’t know when Wenxi will be back...

”Don’t underestimate Sister Wenxi. Your treehouse ballista, the explosive crossbow bolts you fire, even the equipment you’re wearing now, all these materials were discovered and mined thanks to Sister Wenxi’s capabilities!”

”That’s right, if it weren’t for Sister Wenxi, the Explorers wouldn’t be so well-resourced!”

The survivors originally residing next to Li Wenxi’s treehouse started introducing Li Wenxi to the new members.

”Does she really have such abilities? No wonder the equipment level of the Explorers surpasses the big organizations in District 1 by so much... No, I mean... their big organization in District 1!”

”She’s a rich lady! The one who controls the entire resources of the Explorers! Then... do I still have a chance to get a hug from the rich lady?”

”Pfft! You’re done for. Wenxi is Brother Xin’s girlfriend. If Brother Xin hears what you just said...”

”Ah?! Hahaha, you all probably don’t know, I have congenital Alzheimer’s, so sometimes I just talk nonsense. I’ve been like this since I was a kid, hahaha...”

”Isn’t Alzheimer’s supposed to be dementia for old people...”

”Hahaha, don’t mind those details. By the way, weren’t we just talking about the World Tree treehouse? I want to get closer to take a look over there!”

”Hey, hey, don’t go. The big shots of the Explorers have it blocked off.”

”Ah? Why’s that?”

”Why else? Of course, it’s to prevent anything from attacking the World Tree again. If we all gather around the World Tree, we wouldn’t dare use the treehouse ballista recklessly, and even defending it would be a problem.”

”That makes sense.”

”But, didn’t Brother Xin just tell us? In twenty-eight hours, the World Tree will fully mature!”

”Still twenty-eight hours to go... such a long time. Do you think there will be another beast attack?”

”Our weapons and resources are already in short supply...”

”Afraid of what? I really doubt they could muster a decent army within just about a day.”

”Why bother talking about it? We should go and clear the battlefield on the outskirts, maybe we can retrieve some beast corpses that Sister Gui Xin didn’t poison to decompose!”

”Hey, hey, be careful! That beast corpse in front of you was poisoned! Don’t accidentally touch it!”

”Oh, oh...”

In the two hours after the battle, under the coordination of the Explorers and the efforts of the survivors and friendly mutant creatures, the entirely ravaged environment around the World Tree still looked brand new.

All the Tyrannosaurus and mutant creature corpses have been reclaimed and decomposed, and all the collapsed ground has been leveled out through the efforts of the group and the beasts.

Of course, that five-meter-wide trench encircling the World Tree is still there and has not been filled in.

After all, this trench is the best defensive line to prevent anyone from sneaking up.

To avoid any situations like Shi Wanyun previously mentioned where there might be a traitor among them.

Xu Xin has already informed the members of the Explorers about what Shi Wanyun told him.

There are no issues among the Explorers. If there had been, the World Tree would have been in trouble long ago.

They were informed of what the outlying survivors were doing, the situation outside, and Shi Wanyun’s suspicions, to make everyone vigilant and not let anyone get close to the World Tree.

”Alas, if only the treehouse armor could be used.” Xu Xin sighed.

Treehouse armor is wooden armor that can protect the trunks of these treehouses by putting two halves like a split cylinder together, encircling, and protecting the treehouse trunk inside.

But the trunk of the World Tree is just too thick, with a diameter of over ten meters, thicker than the chimneys of a giant chemical plant.

The treehouse armor simply can’t be used.

The trunk of the World Tree can only remain exposed.

Wang Lei: ”Don’t worry, Brother Xin, we won’t let anyone get near the treehouse.”

Wen Guixin: ”Just hang in there for twelve more hours, hang in there for half a day, and we will have won!”

Xu Xin hurriedly said: ”But don’t tell anyone else this time. I told them that the World Tree still needs 28 hours to mature.”

If there really is someone with a problem among them, this timing would lead them to believe ”it’s still early, there’s no rush.”
