Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1042: Chapter 576: Greening Crystal City (3)

"Just now when I saw it, it had already fully recovered." Jin Yue reached out and touched it, saying, "I’m afraid... it took at most half a minute."

Half a minute...

Xu Xin laughed in surprise.

Half a minute was really fast.

"The recovery speed is much faster than before." Lou Fei’Er was also very astonished.

It was indeed much faster.

Previously, even scratches needed more than ten minutes to recover.

Such a large hole would have taken at least a day or two to disappear.

But now, it was repaired in just ten seconds!

This was only noticed ten seconds later; it might have instantly repaired itself when Zeng Tao pulled her leg out.

Is it because of Crystal City?

Or is it because of the World Tree?

Or perhaps, both?

In any case, Xu Xin felt that his sense of security in Crystal City had risen once more.

Moreover, if his treehouse could possess such a powerful recovery ability, then... what about the World Tree?

He suddenly felt that the growing World Tree might not be fragile at all.

He seemed to be able to sleep soundly now and gain another random enhancement.

But, before that...

"Brother Xin, I think it’s feasible. I’ll borrow Zeng Tao for a while!" Ma Hongwei seemed a bit excited, "She might really be able to make the weapon I designed!"

Beside him, Zeng Tao looked a bit bewildered.

"We don’t have many resources right now, so be frugal during the experiment," Xu Xin reminded him.

With Li Wenxi not around, everything must be used sparingly.

"Don’t worry, I’ll first use stones and wood for the prototype!"

"Hmm... I’ll do my best!" Although Zeng Tao was slightly confused, she still clenched her fists and said.

"Go for it! If the plan succeeds, you can evolve from wielding a broadsword to carrying a cannon." Xu Xin smiled.

"Carrying a cannon... seems very impressive!"

Xu Xin sent Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao out, and they immediately went into Ma Hongwei’s treehouse.

The room was left with only Lou Fei’Er, Jin Yue, and Shi Wanyun in the side room.

"Jin Yue, last night you helped other survivors equip crossbows, right? How did it go?" Xu Xin asked.

"Everyone was equipped with three repeating crossbows, and there was some fire suppression against groups of creatures," Jin Yue replied.

The barrage of explosive crossbow bolts did indeed have strong fire suppression.

It’s just a pity that without Wenxi, the momentum is lacking; using explosive crossbow bolts for fire suppression might only be viable once.

"Alright then, Jin Yue, come with me. I’ll take you to inject the gene serum."

"Gene... serum?" Jin Yue was first stunned, then her eyes lit up slightly, "Okay."

Since there’s no immediate danger now, it’s time to start administering the gene serum to the people around him one by one.

Everyone else is busy right now, so Jin Yue can go first.

Moreover, she is the only one who has taken the mutation pill without signing a contract.

Although she is indeed very loyal, this also means she is more susceptible to mental control.

It’s better to let her inject the gene serum first.

"Fei’Er, you come along with us too."

"Oh, okay!" Lou Fei’Er responded, then whispered to Jin Yue with a smile, "Now you can live forever too!"

"I don’t care about immortality. But after injecting the gene serum, at least I won’t have to worry about my mental issues." Jin Yue smiled slightly.

"Let’s go."

Xu Xin took the two women to the treasure room that only he could open and completed the injection for Jin Yue.

After the injection, Jin Yue felt weak all over and fell into a coma right away.

"I need to go back to the treehouse and get some sleep to boost myself. You take care of her," Xu Xin said, holding the unconscious Jin Yue.

Her body was extremely hot.

"Boost? Oh, I got it, leave it to me." Lou Fei’Er reacted and quickly patted her full chest, "I’m very familiar with this symptom!"

She took Jin Yue back to her room, and Xu Xin returned to his treehouse and lay on the bed.

This was the first time he had slept since Wenxi left.

"...I feel a bit uneasy."

Thinking this, he slowly closed his eyes.

He hoped that when he woke up, everything would still be as usual.
