Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 529 - 361: The 188 District Survivors Begin Their Move_2

She was also involved in the fight to destroy the statue, responsible for sneaking into the giant pit to connect the two Transmission Arrays, and then stayed busy with everyone until now, truly making her the most exhausted person among them.

Even with a mutated body, it’s hard to handle such extensive use!

"Alright, alright, in a couple of days, I’ll give you a break, and you can do whatever you want."

Xu Xin also felt like he was being a bit excessive, with a bit of a slavedriver vibe.

However, they can’t let her rest in these two days. During this period, she still has to manage the affairs of Area 187, and the survivors from Area 188 might also be coming over one after another, so she needs to assist them as well.

Hmm, let’s discuss the rest later.

"I knew you were making empty promises!" Lou Fei’Er bared her teeth at Xu Xin, made a face, and then went back to her own treehouse.

"The ground is really cold." Qin Yunlong also stood up from the ground, patted the dust and snow off his butt, then smiled at Xu Xin and said, "Your luck with women is truly extraordinary."

"Yeah, with Sister Wenxi throwing herself at you, and having the obedient Fei’Er beauty at home, who obviously has good feelings for you..." Zhao Xiaochuan looked envious, "Brother Xin, this truly is a divine life."

"What are you talking about." Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, "Lou Fei’Er is bound to me by a contract, which is why she feels close to me. It’s completely different from what you imagine."

"...So, did Li Wenxi really throw herself into your arms?" Qin Yunhu, who hadn’t spoken much, interjected curiously, glancing at him with interest.

"...It’s called mutual affection. You all should head back; it’s already past ten and almost eleven." Xu Xin immediately changed the subject, "I’ve already sent you the coordinates. Once you go back, you can accept the trade. I won’t go tonight; I’ll come and help you activate it tomorrow."

Their treehouses are scattered around Wen Gui Xin’s treehouse, so visiting them all at once would be too troublesome. It’s better to wait until tomorrow during the day.

He’s also tired and wants to rest, plus he needs to sleep in the treehouse, otherwise, he won’t receive the random boost for the next day.

At the same time, he sent the message to the Explorers group, letting Wang Lei and Wen Gui Xin know too.

Wen Gui Xin: "Got it..."

Wang Lei: "This is tough..."

Li Wenxi: "The two of them are currently lying dead under my treehouse."

Zhao Xiaochuan and the others all checked the trade information via their watches.

Though they couldn’t use the watch to accept trades, they could view the information, and they immediately saw the trade of coordinates.

"It really is late." Qin Yunlong glanced at his watch, "Hmm... I originally wanted to check out the other people’s treehouses, but forget it, the aftereffects take too long every time."

"Let’s head back now and wait for you to come to activate the Transmission Array tomorrow, Brother Xin."

Zhao Xiaochuan touched the coordinates, activating the Transmission Array leading to Wen Gui Xin’s treehouse, condensing a purple-black vortex.

Speaking, he turned back to everyone and said, "By the way, with the Transmission Array connected, we can crash at Wang Lei’s place for a meal. Don’t be fooled by his burly appearance; his cooking is top-notch, truly delicious!"

"Oh?" Xu Xin raised an eyebrow, "Alright, let’s try out Wang Lei’s cooking tomorrow noon."

The boost point Wang Lei mainly placed was in the kitchen, right?

Let’s see who’s more skilled in cooking between him and Lou Fei’Er.

The three of them teleported back.

This was their second teleportation, and the side effects hadn’t diminished much. They’re probably already limp under Wen Gui Xin’s treehouse now.

Among the Explorers, Li Wenxi also spoke: "Sister Gui Xin and Wang Lei both teleported back directly from my place."

That’s good.

Xu Xin returned to his treehouse, freshened up a bit, and immediately lay down on the bed.

Today was truly exhausting.

He raised his hand to check the world channel.

Currently, there was nothing noteworthy, even though three people in Area 1 had already climbed to the summit, they still hadn’t activated the large array, proving his suspicion that the three of them weren’t climbing the same peak.

However, the regional channel was much more lively.

Having not checked the regional channel for several hours, Xu Xin only now realized that a wave of people heading towards the light columns had already arisen there.

The survivors, based on the order of the first two light columns and their direction, as well as approximate distance, determined the location relative to the light columns, and who might be near them, planning to dismantle their treehouses at dawn and move towards Xu Xin’s location!

"I’m southeast of the first light column, given the number of giant peaks in between, it’s approximately 200 kilometers. Using snowboards, I should reach it in a day, right?"

Since the distance between two giant peaks is generally seventy to eighty kilometers, they can indeed estimate the distance based on the number of giant peaks.

"I’m also southeast! Probably about the same distance, bro, we must be very close!"

"I’m over a hundred kilometers east of the second light column! Haha, I’ll definitely go find Boss Gui Xin tomorrow!"

"I’m north of the second light column, about 300 kilometers away. Isn’t this distance a bit far... If I can’t make it in 24 hours, am I doomed?"

"But, once this winter passes, won’t there be even less chance? I don’t want to survive alone anymore! I’ll leave as soon as it gets light tomorrow!"

"I want to hang out with Boss Xu Xin!"

The speed of a powered skateboard is about thirty to forty kilometers per hour, but most of them are regular skateboards.

In this relatively flat jungle, these specially made regular skateboards can move too, but at a maximum speed of only about twenty kilometers per hour, which is quite exhausting.

Even going at full speed, three hundred kilometers needs at least fifteen hours straight, which is very challenging in a dense forest with many obstacles and possible encounters with mutated creatures, aiming to make it within 24 hours is really no easy task.

But after chopping down the treehouse, there’s only a 24-hour window.

Xu Xin immediately said on the world channel: "Everyone, no need to rush, there’s still time before this harsh winter ends. Tomorrow, we’ll provide equipment for those who wish to come here, and then you can decide. Those who are far away shouldn’t force it, we’re studying other methods here."

This other method naturally refers to the Snow Mountain Transmission Array.

With these 30 Transmission Arrays, in Area 188, of course, they won’t just activate these two; they will definitely continue activating more.

If a simpler way to climb can be found, other survivors who are further away can directly activate the arrays and teleport here!

"Finally, the big boss speaks!"

"I listen to Boss Xu!"

"Boss, you’re a bit late; some people already chopped down their treehouses and are rushing to the light columns overnight..."

"Don’t worry, those people are very close, they shouldn’t have any problems."

"Boss, can I work on pharmaceuticals with Boss Xuefei once I get there?"

People are already considering what to do once they arrive, and some are even heading this way overnight.

Fortunately, tonight is not a moonless night, so there shouldn’t be any danger.

By tomorrow morning, perhaps they’ll see new faces.

Xu Xin replied a couple of sentences to calm their nerves and then turned off the regional channel.

Keke was sleeping on the bedside, her fluffy tail dangling at the edge of the bed.

Affected by Keke’s slumbering state, Xu Xin’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

There’s still so much to do tomorrow...

Eventually, Xu Xin drifted off to sleep.
