Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1429 - 708: The Truth of the Severe Cold Season (Part 3)

As for the other two doorways, they are relatively deep.

The directions of the doorways are different; one is behind the console, parallel ahead.

The other is near the entrance, sloping downward.

Standing at the entrance behind the console, they could actually feel a faint icy chill creeping out.

It’s like standing in front of an open refrigerator.

The other doorway, however, wafted out waves of stifling heat.

It’s like... the nostrils of a beast exhaling hot air with its breath.

The three of them, Xu Xin, decided to explore the doorway behind the console first.

Because it is behind the console, just judging by the location, it seems significant.

Moreover, compared to continuing to explore downward, they also want to first explore this level as thoroughly as possible.

After all, they found weapons here!

"Phew..." Li Wenxi exhaled a breath into her hand, "It’s really cold here..."

Xu Ying also exhaled a breath of white air and said, "The further we go, the colder it gets. We must be below zero already."

"Could this be the alien invaders’ big freezer..." Li Wenxi huddled her neck and rubbed her hands, "Are the alien invaders preserving their food here?"

"What are you thinking?" Xu Xin couldn’t help but smile and shake her head, "Didn’t the monster say that the alien invaders only need to consume that crimson crystal to sustain life?"

"Oh right... so what is this place for then?"

"Eek..."

Keke already felt cold, curling up in Xu Xin’s embrace, not wanting to move.

Seeing Keke’s reaction, Xu Xin felt that there might not be anything good inside here.

The colder it got as they walked.

Xu Xing felt it had already dropped to at least forty or fifty degrees below zero!

He and Li Wenxi even took out the warm scarves they wore during the severe winter and wrapped them around.

Xu Ying did not have one, so she shared one with Li Wenxi.

And Keke directly extended its little paws, pulling a small half of Xu Xin’s warm scarf to wrap itself.

"Eek..."

It let out a comfortable call, its little ears trembling twice.

The three of them kept moving forward, through this narrow passage, and when their view finally opened up ahead, they were all taken aback.

"Is this... ice sculptures of gigantic beasts?" Li Wenxi looked up at the scene before her, murmuring.

"These aren’t ice sculptures... these are real beasts!" Xu Ying said with some gravity, "These beasts are still alive!"

In front of them was an entire array of gigantic beasts, completely frozen.

Along were their old acquaintances, Tyrannosaurus, pterosaurs, and other prehistoric creatures, but more were some peculiar species they had never seen before!

There was a malformed giant beast whose main body was only the size of a soccer ball, yet it had eight spider-like, twenty to thirty meters long legs.

There was a long, snake-like body with three heads each on both the head and tail end, over ten meters long "giant python."

There was also a giant furry mass with a diameter of almost twenty meters, on which two gigantic brown eyes were staring in Xu Xin’s direction.

Sadly, it was frozen, and this should be just how it looked the moment it was frozen.

"These creatures..."

Xu Xin looked at the only familiar ones, the Tyrannosaurus and pterosaur, and then at the other creatures, lost in thought.

"These creatures are probably gigantic beasts collected by the alien invaders from various planets in the universe."

Xu Ying voiced what he thought inside.

"Aren’t they gene-modified giant beasts created by them?" Li Wenxi said with some surprise, looking at these bizarrely shaped giant beasts, "These things look too strange..."

"Probably not." Xu Xin pointed to the Tyrannosaurus and other dinosaurs, "Those creatures did truly exist on Earth; the alien invaders just revived them. I suppose other beasts are the same."

"It seems this should be the giant beast gene extraction room of the alien invaders, right?"

Xu Ying pressed her very dry lips.

The alien invaders hated moisture; the air where they lived was just too dry.

Especially here, where the temperature is so low, there was almost no trace of gaseous water in the air.

Breathing in here, the nasal cavity and throat would feel a twinge of pain.

It was immense here, very immense, with hundreds of gigantic beasts lined up.

Each one looked very peculiar.

If it weren’t for the urgency now, Xu Xin would really want to observe these eerie giant beasts from other planets himself.

But now they couldn’t.

They didn’t have the time.

"There’s nothing much to see here, let’s go." Xu Xin said.

"Hmm... can we go over there and take a look?"

Li Wenxi pointed towards the depths of this area.

"Over there? What’s over there?" Xu Xin looked in that direction and asked.

"There seems to be a machine operating over there."

A machine operating...

"It should be a cooling machine, right?"

Xu Ying exhaled white air and said, "Or else how would it maintain such low temperatures here?"

"But... I think that machine might be removable..."

Li Wenxi said softly.

Removable?

This piqued the interest of both Xu Xin and Xu Ying immediately.

"Let’s go, check it out!"

The three of them immediately traversed the array of frozen giant beasts, heading towards the location Li Wenxi mentioned.

"Eek... Achoo!"

Keke blinked, seemed also a bit interested but, after sneezing, it tucked its little head back, unwilling to move.

The three of them arrived at the machine Li Wenxi mentioned.
