Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1015: Chapter 567: The Infiltrated City (Part 2)

"Perhaps... the source of pollution isn’t located at the center of the polluted land?"

The polluted area was not small, and with dense low shrubs covering much of the surface, finding a metal pillar barely exposed above ground in this region wouldn’t be easy.

"I better not search alone." Xu Ying temporarily gave up, realizing her strength alone was insufficient. "Inform the Wei Family to conduct a thorough search here, even if it means digging three feet deep to find that thing."

"Otherwise, the teleportation device near the main city would be... too dangerous!"

She looked towards the direction of the main city.

The three tallest buildings were very prominent.

"Wei Bai should be done by now, right? Wait... oh no, I forgot to get his contact information." Xu Ying had a headache.

Then her eyes lit up: "That’s right, sister-in-law seems to have a way to contact Wei Shishi! Let’s head back first!"

Saying this, she stepped lightly, a purple-black vortex appeared, and she fell into it, disappearing from sight.

The jungle remained very quiet.

To save time, Xu Ying appeared directly in Li Wenxi’s room.

"Sister-in-law, don’t sleep, I have something to..."

Xu Ying’s words trailed off abruptly.

She saw that Li Wenxi’s bed was a bit messy, the quilt thrown aside, and no one was on the bed.

"Sister-in-law... not here?"

The bedroom door was closed, but the window was wide open.

"... This is...!"

Xu Ying suddenly panicked a little.

Could it be that sister-in-law was kidnapped?!

This villa indeed had a tool she and Xu Xin had made together, containing temporal-spatial capabilities, which could make surrounding humans unconsciously avoid it and be unable to approach.

But...

If it were those monsters, or their henchmen...

Xu Ying suddenly lost confidence in the device she had created.

She kicked off, appearing almost instantly by the window, looking out.

Outside was silent, and there was nothing.

"No... it can’t be..." This time, she was truly panicking, "Did I... lose sister-in-law? I..."

At that moment, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open.

She quickly turned her head, only to see a somewhat drowsy Li Wenxi walking in.

"Sister-in-law!"

Xu Ying’s eyes widened instantly.

"Hm... Yingying? You’re back!" Seeing Xu Ying, Li Wenxi instantly became much more alert.

"Sister-in-law, where did you go!" Xu Ying first let out a long sigh of relief, then complained.

"Ah? I... I just went to the bathroom?"

"The bathroom?" Xu Ying didn’t believe it, "You went to the bathroom without making any sound?"

Before Li Wenxi opened the door, Xu Ying hadn’t sensed her presence at all.

With her hearing, it was impossible... not to hear even the sound of footsteps?

Li Wenxi seemed to appear out of thin air outside the door.

"No sound?" Li Wenxi was puzzled, "What are you talking about? I even flushed just now... Oh, why are you asking this!"

"Hm... maybe I was too tired, so..." Xu Ying rubbed her head, "My senses dulled?"

She walked over to Li Wenxi, pinching various parts of Li Wenxi’s body.

"What are you... Ah! Tickles!" Li Wenxi quickly grabbed Xu Ying’s hand, "Don’t pinch my waist!"

"Hm. It is really my sister-in-law."

Xu Ying had even suspected that Li Wenxi had been swapped, but after some verification, she dismissed her own conjecture.

If it’s not Li Wenxi’s problem, then it must be her own.

Her senses, dulled?

Could it be...

Xu Ying’s eyes trembled slightly.

Is my time... also nearing its end?

"What’s going on?" Seeing Xu Ying’s somewhat dazed expression, Li Wenxi immediately tugged at her cheek, pulling her back to reality.

"Ah... nothing, nothing!" Xu Ying shook her head.

No big deal!

She wasn’t afraid of dying anyway!

Now that her senses had returned to normal, it was just a minor issue earlier, nothing major.

Moreover, there hadn’t been any temporal disruptions around her, she could at least hold on for a while longer!

At least solve the issue at hand!

"Sister-in-law, you should be able to contact Wei Shishi, right? I need her help with something."

"Wei Shishi? Oh, sure."

Li Wenxi took a small device out of her backpack: "Is it this one? At the time, Wei Shishi told me to tap it three times on my ear to contact her."

"Yes, yes, that’s it." Xu Ying immediately took it over, "Let me use it!"

She placed it on her ear and tapped it three times with her finger.

The device immediately emitted a beeping sound.

Li Wenxi also leaned her ear closer.

"Hello, it’s me, Wei Shishi." Wei Shishi’s voice came through, as always, with a slight coldness.

But both Li Wenxi and Xu Ying knew she was cold outside but warm inside.

"Ah, it’s me, Xu Ying."

"... Why do you have the device I gave Li Wenxi?" Wei Shishi’s voice instantly turned several degrees colder.

This time she was truly distant.

"Don’t be so hostile, okay? I haven’t done anything to you." Xu Ying said, feeling a bit aggrieved.

"I’m hanging up."

"Hey, hey, don’t, I discovered something, it’s about the survival of humanity."

"... What is it?" Wei Shishi’s voice became much more serious.

"It’s like this..."
