Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1284 - 659:

But for Xu Ying...

This might be the last two months of her life.

"No... no need to worry too much! As long as we don’t use the high-end weapons you brought back from another dimension, won’t you be fine?" Li Wenxi quickly comforted.

"It’s not that simple..." Xu Ying pursed her lips, "It’s not that simple..."

...

This information has not been disclosed to the common people within the World Tree.

After all, there’s still more than two months to go, it’s too early to inform them now.

Their spirits are already quite tense, continuing to tighten the strings for two more months could easily make them snap.

So, everything within the World Tree seems as if nothing has happened.

Of course, the members of the explorers gather every day to discuss the upcoming plans.

"So, do I really not need to stay?" Wen Guixin asked.

"No need, infiltrating the enemy’s base also requires your abilities. Before you leave, just attach some spiritual poison to more bullets and missiles." Ji Chaoyang waved his hand.

"Alright, that’s perfect, I don’t want to stay anyway; I want to take part in destroying their ’Source of Life’!" Wen Guixin said with a smile, then lightly tapped the table with her finger.

Over the past few months, Wen Guixin’s abilities have grown stronger and stronger.

Originally, although she could infuse weapons with spiritual poison, it was only limited to melee weapons; once her hand left the weapon, the effect would disappear.

Lately, she could infuse bullets with poison, but only she could use them, because she could only poison them for a few seconds.

But now, this time has extended to over a whole day.

This means that after infusing bullets and shells with spiritual poison, the poison can last for more than a day before gradually dissipating.

During this day, anyone using the weapon could achieve the same ability as her.

"Sister Gui Xin’s abilities are really strong..." Li Wenxi marveled, "Both sides need you."

"Your ability is the same, Wenxi," Wen Guixin, sitting next to Li Wenxi, nudged her with her shoulder and smiled, "All the weapon materials here depend on your abilities."

"But if the war starts, they won’t need me here anymore."

"Yes, once the war starts, it’s best not to go to the underground world anymore, or even if you do, no more resource collection," Ji Chaoyang said, "The underground world is different from the World Tree; that area is basically open. Once the war begins, it will be very dangerous and not suitable for mining resources."

"That’s why I’ve been working so hard these past few days," Li Wenxi rubbed her leg, "It’s really tiring..."

"The materials now should be quite adequate, right?" Xu Xin massaged her shoulders, "No need to tire yourself out."

"Well... We’ve been non-stop manufacturing weapons during this period; the resource stockpile has been continuously consumed." Li Wenxi leaned into Xu Xin’s embrace, enjoying his massage.

...

When they returned to the villa, Xu Ying was lying on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Ah... You’re back?"

Seeing Xu Xin and Li Wenxi return, she sat up.

"Yingying..."

"I just can’t seem to muster the strength to play anymore." Xu Ying lifted Keke in her arms, gazing into its innocent eyes, "It feels like the eve of an exam; I just can’t focus on playing."

Keke had been sticking by Xu Ying these days, the little one keenly sensing her low mood and staying by her side.

"Let’s go out and take a walk!" Li Wenxi pulled Xu Ying up, "Staying cooped up in a room gives you thoughts like that. Haven’t you visited our underground world beneath the World Tree in a long time? Let me show you around!"

"Um... Sure!" Xu Ying stood up accordingly.

She hadn’t left the World Tree for a while during this time.

Because within the World Tree, where time was stretched a hundredfold, is incredibly precious to her right now.

However, the underground world, where time is also affected, can still be visited.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Xu Xin asked.

"No, no, we’re just taking a stroll, I have a lot to talk to Yingying about, no need to follow us!" Li Wenxi immediately refused.

"Alright then..."

It was already resting time, and Xu Xin himself wasn’t very calm either, so he headed out, moving toward the relatively densely populated residential area.

The residential area these days isn’t as relaxing as it used to be, but in places with many people, it’s still much livelier.

"Brother Xin!"

"Brother Xin is here!"

"Brother Xin, have you eaten yet? Come eat with us!"

Xu Xin was greeted by many people along the way. He returned greetings one by one, politely declining their invitations.

This city had become quite bustling.

Though tens of thousands of people aren’t many, in this limited city area, Xu Xin genuinely felt warmth.

Sadly, this situation could only last for a month.

"Big brother, are you Xu Xin?"

At this moment, a little girl with two pigtails ran to Xu Xin’s side, looking up at him.

Xu Xin smiled slightly, crouching down, "Yes, is there something you need?"

The girl looked to be only five or six years old.

She was one of the family members the Wei Family had brought up here, living in the World Tree during this time.

"Thank you, big brother, for bringing us to the surface!"

The girl just said this one thing and then shyly turned and ran away.

Xu Xin was stunned at first, then he laughed.

He never expected that after several months, there would still be someone to say this to him.

However, he rarely appeared among the people.

Especially since Xu Ying brought those tens of thousands of followers back, he hadn’t been here since.

This time marked the first from then.

Xu Xin smiled, then sighed.

Yes, within the World Tree now, not only survivors reside.

They had drawn the inhabitants of the underground world into this war.

This war must be won.

If not, not only will the residents and children in the World Tree suffer, but those billions in the underground world will also meet the same fate.

The consequences would be unimaginably terrifying, a responsibility no one could bear.

If the alien invaders are not driven off Earth, one day, the humans here will face another catastrophe.

This battle must be won.

He continued to walk.

Then, he entered the area where he and Xu Ying’s followers mainly lived.

"Oh my, it’s Xin God!"

"Xin God is here!"

"Xin God has shown himself for the first time!"

Xu Xin’s appearance caused an uproar among those around.

They surrounded Xu Xin, each with an expression of fanatical devotion.

Through their time living and communicating with the survivors, they’ve learned about Xu Xin and Xu Ying’s situation.

Always maintaining a top-notch level in moments of survival and mortality activities.

Established the human savior organization, the Explorers.

Discovered Crystal City, bringing it to the surface.

Planted the World Tree, providing a safe haven for all survivors, indeed all humanity.

Even daring to confront extraterrestrial invaders, reclaiming Earth, allowing humans to become masters of it once again.

Each of these feats is unimaginable for ordinary people.

So, even knowing Xu Xin’s experiences, they still believed him to be a god incarnate, still considering Xu Xin and Xu Ying as deities about to save them.

Once again encountering his devoted followers, Xu Xin was overwhelmed by their fervor.

However, he persevered, staying for several hours to answer many questions people had.

Because in his view...

After this great war, some of these people might not be here anymore.

The impending World Tree defense war will be exceedingly brutal.

It’s impossible for everyone to survive.

Seeing these people viewing him as hope, Xu Xin felt a heavy heart.

This war must be won.

...

Time flew by like a white colt passing a gap.

Once again, night passed, and daylight greeted the inside of the World Tree.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

This day, Ji Chaoyang’s message was sent to everyone.
