Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"Hey..." Coco let out a comfortable cry while lying on the edge of the basin of ice that was releasing the chill.

Xu Xin rested for a minute, then got up and went to the bathroom.

He's going to pump water with an automatic pump.

In another half hour, the pool below him will also be completely dry, as the water level of the lake will drop below the trough.

Taking this opportunity, he needs to collect as much water as possible.

Made some water storage tubs and barrels, and he immediately started water storage.

I don't know how long this sweltering summer will last, or it's better to save more.

Half an hour has passed, and the pump has been unable to draw a little water from the pool below.

He looked out of the window, and below, the pool he dug up and the water trough extending all the way to the lake had completely dried up, revealing the slightly damp ground.

Then, under his gaze, under the blazing sunlight, the wet ground began to lose water at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the dark loess, gradually whitened, and then began to dry and crack!

The originally wet bottom of the pool cracked into a broken pit within half a minute.

He looked at the lake beside the tree house again.

The area of ​​the lake has been greatly reduced.

The original shallow water area, at this time, has been completely exposed.

And the bottom of the lake is similar to the bottom of the pool on his side. Under the exposure of the poisonous sunlight, cracks appeared one after another!

Aquatic plants such as aquatic plants growing far from the bottom of the lake are rapidly withering.

After these plants survived the cold winter, they were defeated by the scorching heat.

…outrageous.

This sunshine is really too poisonous!

He opened the window.

A wave of heat came from the surface, causing him to frown and narrow his eyes.

On his forehead, fine beads of sweat appeared immediately.

"This temperature..."

He closed it again immediately.

...The moment he just opened the window, he seemed to be opening a furnace that was being smelted!

It must have been over forty degrees!

I'm afraid it's already around forty-five degrees!

He immediately contacted Li Wenxi.

"What's the matter?" Li Wenxi's voice was normal, and there were constant sounds of mining.

"You're still in the mine, aren't you hot?" Xu Xin asked.

"It's not hot, this mine seems to be a good place to cool off." Li Wenxi explained, "We didn't even use the mined saltpeter to cool down, and the temperature in this cave has been maintained at more than 20 degrees."

It seems that the saltpeter mine can be said to be a natural summer place.

"Hey, they don't want to go back. After all, the tree house is much hotter than here." Li Wenxi smiled.

"It's a good way to escape the summer there." Xu Xin agreed, and then asked, "How much have you dug up?"

"Well...I didn't count, Yajun! How much have we dug?" Li Wenxi directly asked Li Yajun, who was next to him in charge of handling the mined saltpeter mine.

"The mining rate of saltpeter mines here is not high. Most of the mined stones are ordinary stones, and only a small part is saltpeter. For such a long time, only about a thousand pieces of green-grade saltpeter have been mined, and ... seven pieces. Blue-grade saltpeter."

Li Yajun's voice entered Xu Xin's ears, which surprised him.

This speed is not slow, right, thousands of dollars an hour.

Of course, this is based on the fact that more than a dozen people on their side are mining together, and it has been mining for nearly an hour.

According to the efficiency of a single person, it is indeed relatively common.

"Hey...the efficiency is so low!" Li Wenxi put down her hand holding the watch slightly, and looked at her in surprise, "I didn't seem to be so slow in digging myself before, did I?"

"The location where you mined before happened to be the location with the most abundant resources..." Li Yajun's voice was a little helpless, "It just happens to be the best mining spot, where there are all saltpeter mines."

She pointed to the deepest part of the mine: "But that piece of saltpeter has already been mined by you. The other locations are all scattered saltpeter, most of which are ordinary stones."

"Is that so..." Li Wenxi nodded thoughtfully.

Hearing these words through the watch, Xu Xin also frowned slightly.

Li Wenxi's ability is to detect metal ore, but saltpeter ore is not metal ore, so she should not know how much saltpeter reserves are left in this mine.

"There aren't many reserves in your saltpeter mine, right?" Xu Xin asked.

If this is the case, then they may have to consider whether to help others.

After all, saltpeter is a very valuable resource. As a raw material for explosives, it is also a kind of consumables, and explosives are also their strongest means of fighting against incoming enemies.

Until the next saltpeter mine is found, this mine is all their reserves.

"I don't know." Li Wenxi's voice was also vaguely worried. "Let's continue mining first. Saltpeter mines are still needed. I'll check the situation first."

"Okay. Now, don't sell saltpeter mines."

"Um!"

Hanging up the call, Xu Xin sighed.

It shouldn't be a problem for those people to survive today, right?

He himself is fine.

In his tree house, it was very cool.

Even... a little cold.

The ability of the tree house wall to isolate the temperature is too strong, the temperature inside and outside the house cannot be transmitted, and the blue-grade saltpeter is constantly exuding coldness.

This caused the temperature in his treehouse to drop directly below 20 degrees.

...open a window.

Xu Xin slightly opened the window a little, so that the temperature in the room recovered a little.

He sat down on the sofa again.

Now in this situation, I can't go out. Sitting in the tree house can be regarded as a disguised rest.

As long as there are no animal tides coming, it will be fine.

Turn on the watch and flip through the World Channel at will.

Sure enough, all over the world, survivors are complaining.

Temperatures above forty degrees are indeed too hard to endure without air conditioning.

"I'm going crazy!"

"Is this world sick?

"

"I would have collected more ice outside before I knew it! Mad!"

"Who would have thought that the temperature would directly rise by 70 degrees!"

In those areas, before the sun came out this morning, it was still minus thirty degrees, but it was just over forty degrees after just a few hours.

Isn't this a direct seventy-degree temperature difference?

but…

Today, he is not very helpful.

Forty degrees, this temperature is actually acceptable.

"Hey, look, there's something new in the Points Store!"

At this time, a message on the World Channel made his eyes light up.

Points mall new?

He immediately clicked into the Points Mall to check.

However, after seeing the new materials hanging in the most conspicuous position in the points mall, he was speechless.

[Pu Fan (Blue): A must-have item that can bring a touch of coolness to people in the hot summer. Points required: 100 points. 】

Pu fan?

Manual fan?

This thing... seems like they can make it themselves...

However, the blue class?

His heart moved.

A blue-level fan requires only 100 points.

You know, new materials in the cold winter, such as goggles, skateboards, etc., all require 1000 points for the blue level.

Very cheap!

He immediately bought one for 100 points.

Looking at the fan in his hand, he couldn't help laughing.

This thing is too familiar.

It's really a fan!

At this time, what he held in his hand was a very ordinary palmetto fan.

The whole fan is dry yellow, made of palmetto leaves and handles, and it is very light to hold in the hand.

This should be the most popular fan in their original world, right?

this thing...

He fanned lightly at himself.

Um.

Ordinary wind.

Blue-level supplies, that's all...?

Shouldn't be.

At this time, the World Channel was also noisy.

"What! Selling a broken fan for 100 points? It's crazy! It's not like I can't do it myself!"

"I'm better than a broken fan with 100 points!"

"No, you are optimistic! This is a blue-level fan!"

"What about a blue-level fan? If the quality is better, how many more days can it be fanned? It's useful!"

"Whoever buys the Aisi!"

100 points, for those in weak areas, can be said to be a huge sum of money.

It only takes thirty or forty points to kill a mutant creature, and they may not have the opportunity and ability to kill mutant creatures.

That's why they spit out angrily.

He took another look at allied and regional channels.

I happened to see Ji Chaoyang talking on the alliance channel.

"Everyone, you can buy a paddle fan. This blue-level paddle fan can blow out relatively cool wind in the hot air."

Fan out the cool wind?

Xu Xin was slightly startled.

He immediately came out of the tree house with the palm fan and came to the ground.

"…So hot."

The hand has subconsciously fanned the wind with the paddle fan.

"Huh, this is really effective."

He looked at the palm fan in his hand in surprise.

The air is hot and dry. Normally, even if the wind blows, it will not be very cool.

But this paddle fan, just by gently fanning, can make the air flow quickly, and…

It did drop the temperature a little bit.

The flowing low-temperature air evaporated the sweat on his skin, making him feel as if he could endure this hot and dry environment.

Is it really a blue-level material?

Still useful.

Of course, it is only tolerable, and it is absolutely impossible to say that it is comfortable.

But for ordinary survivors, with this thing, at least they won't be too hot to go crazy, to heatstroke or even die.

nice stuff!

Just when he was about to return to the tree house, he suddenly saw a figure shaking in the direction of Lou Feier and Jin Yue's tree house.

Um?

Who is outside on this hot day?

He suddenly became alert.

It's not a furry freak, is it?

He stopped what he was doing and looked over there.

The figure flashed again, and this time he saw it clearly.

"Is it Jinyue?" Xu Xin was a little surprised.

What is she doing outside?

However, her body has mutated, and she should be able to easily endure the current temperature, and it is normal outside.

He wanted to go over and ask, but he couldn't stand it now standing in the shade of the treehouse canopy. When he thought of going under the sunlight, he shook his head and went back to the treehouse.

Then contact Lou Feier.

"What are you doing? How can I see Jin Yue outside?" He asked directly.

"Ah, she wants to go out by herself." Lou Feier explained, "Say yes, saw the figure again? I don't know what happened, but I didn't see it."

"Are you in the tree house?"

"Well, it's too sunny outside, the sun is too dazzling, and it's not very comfortable."

"Need to cool the tree house?"

"Ah? Is it alright?" Lou Feier immediately said with some surprise, "Yes... use that, saltpeter to cool down?"

She is also a member of the [Explorer] group, so she naturally knows about saltpeter.

"Aren't you afraid of heat?"

"I'm not afraid, but it's not comfortable either." Lou Feier's voice was a little lazy, "It's so hot that I don't want to do anything..."

really.

He thought of how the Silver King and Mimi would behave in the heat.

They were all lying on the ground too lazy to move.

Of course, this didn't affect their activities. After all, he rode the Silver King to the saltpeter mine just now, and the Silver King didn't have any other abnormal behavior except sticking out his tongue to dissipate heat.

"However, if resources are scarce, you don't have to think about me. I don't have a big problem here."

She is quite nice.

"I'll give you a piece of blue-grade saltpeter..." Xu Xin told Lou Feier how to use the blue-grade saltpeter, "Give it back to me after you use it up, and I only have one piece."

Her treehouse also has the ability to keep constant temperature, but because the temperature has risen before the ability to keep constant temperature, the house is so hot now.

Just lower the temperature a bit.

"I love you to death!"

Lou Feier immediately cooled her treehouse.

Xu Xin also called Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao.

Because Ma Hongwei had blue-grade saltpeter in his hands when he was making crossbow arrows, but he said that he didn't care, but his subordinates couldn't stand it.

"Let them come to my treehouse. You can come too." Xu Xin said.

Ma Hongwei's tree house has no constant temperature ability, so it should be very hot now.

But he didn't come, he wanted to continue researching the heavy crossbow.

The few people under his command soon came to Xu Xin's side.

A total of eight people, Xu Xin did not let them come to the living area on the third floor, but divided them into several rooms on the ground floor in the extended area on the first floor, and made beds and simple furniture.

"You guys, just sleep here for a while."

"I know Brother Xin!"

"Okay, Brother Xin!"

These people are very satisfied.

Xu Xin returned to the third floor.

Speaking of the banyan tree extension below, the banyan tree outside his tree house has been excavated many times during this time.

Relying on the banyan tree, all members of the explorer have now expanded the area of ​​the tree house by two floors.

And his current expansion area has also increased from the original 100 square meters to the current 180 square meters.

Almost doubled the area!

I didn't care much before, but now it seems that it has grown so much again!

Wait until Li Wenxi brings back the survivors who have been mining, and let them live below.

The space is large enough, he is also safe here, and most importantly, living in his place, those people don't have to use saltpeter to adjust the temperature of the tree house.

Save some resources.

He spoke directly to Li Wenxi and informed the other party of his thoughts.

"Okay!" Li Wenxi immediately told other people about this, and everyone else expressed their surprise.

After all, this is the tree house that lives in Xu Xin, the strongest elder in the world!

He contacted other people in the explorer and recommended him this method.

So, Qi Xuefei temporarily stopped the cultivation of the medicine, and took people to Ji Chaoyang's side, leaving only two people to watch the house, who changed every two hours.

I still have to look at my tree house, but in this hot environment, my head is basically dizzy in two hours, even if there is a fan, so it takes two hours to change people.

Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu followed suit. One went to Wang Lei and the other went to Zhao Xiaochuan.

In this way, the problem that the tree houses of Li Wenxi, Qi Xuefei, Qin Yunlong, and Qin Yunhu did not have the ability to keep constant temperature was solved.

The survivors who defected to their explorers also lived in comfortable rooms. The only disadvantage is that these survivors without watches cannot communicate with the outside world using the treehouse screen.

But they are all together, but they are not alone, but very happy.

Especially when I think that other people are still enduring the sweltering heat, but they are talking about mountains in the "air-conditioned room", which makes them happier.

Some even brought the mahjong poker they had previously carved out of stone, and they started to be really happy.

An hour later, Li Wenxi also came with someone.

"Don't knock, don't knock, it's so inefficient, let's come back and deal with their housing issue first!"

Unlike Ma Hongwei's men who are all men, Li Wenxi still has a few women in his hands. For convenience, Xu Xin arranged the men including Le Youfang and Niu Fugui on the first floor, and put the men including Li Yajun on the first floor. Several women were arranged separately on the second floor.

Then they went back to the third floor with Li Wenxi.

"You guys, don't go to the third floor if you have nothing to do!"

Li Wenxi called to the bottom.

"Kill us, we won't go up the boss!"

"Wen Xi, don't worry, we won't go up if we hear any sound!"

"Shut up you guys!" Li Wenxi laughed and scolded, then closed the door, and then threw herself on the sofa, "Oh, it's still cool here! I just tried blue-grade saltpeter in the tree house, and the effect was really bad!"

"Can't it be cooled?" Xu Xin also came over and sat down and asked.

"Yeah." Li Wenxi sat up, "Blue-grade saltpeter can only be cooler in a small area, and the consumption rate is much faster than normal! If you use green-grade saltpeter, I'm afraid it will cost more than ten yuan. Only then can it be effective! Moreover, it has to be changed very frequently."

"Your saltpeter..."

"So far, only more than 3,000 pieces of green rank and 15 pieces of blue rank have been dug up." Li Wenxi shook her head, "It's not less and less, but the efficiency can't be improved."

It seems that the plan to help others with saltpeter needs to be put on hold for the time being.

They must leave the raw materials for the explosives in case of a possible crisis.

Fortunately, people in the 188 area have enough points, and it is not a problem to buy a fan with 100 points. It should not be a problem to last for a while in the hot summer.

"Okay, then we are resting now." Xu Xin leaned on the back of the sofa, turned to look at Li Wenxi and smiled.

"Hey, there's nothing more comfortable than sleeping in an air-conditioned room in summer!" Li Wenxi picked up her collar and smelled it, "Is there any water? I want to take a shower."

"Have."

Xu Xin immediately turned the wristband, took out a backpack, and then took out a large bucket full of water from the backpack.

Although the pool below is dry, the water pump is out of action, and there is no automatic shower, but you can take a bath directly.

Because the water is taken from outside, the water is directly warm.

Sitting on the sofa, listening to the sound of tapping the water and humming from time to time in the bathroom, Xu Xin touched Coco, who was dozing again on the armrest of the sofa, and felt a little sleepy.

I really hope today goes through without incident.

At this moment, his watch vibrated.

When he raised his hand, he suddenly felt sleepless.

Shi Wanyun!

She has come back?
