Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 886: Chapter 522: The Elixir That Brings Immortality! (5,000 Words!) (Part 3)

"Hmm... I don’t think so." Lou Fei’Er shook her head and said, "This blood mutation lineage should only be able to extend life, not immortality."

She pointed at the blood pattern on her arm and said, "I’m now close to high-level mutation and quite familiar with this lineage. I have a feeling that once you successfully advance to high-level mutation, life can be extended by a few hundred years, but immortality is likely unattainable, at most... a thousand-year lifespan."

"Is there such a saying?" Xu Xin asked somewhat surprised.

"Hmm... just my feeling." Lou Fei’Er was a little embarrassed and said, "But... I think it shouldn’t be wrong."

If what Lou Fei’Er said is correct, then it means the blood mutation can extend a person’s lifespan, but at most only up to a thousand years?

...If that’s really the case, the timeline on Chang Yin’s side can also be approximately confirmed.

Mimi and others should have only stayed underground for about fifty years as stated by Chang Yin.

And Chang Yin was turned into a statue in the disaster a thousand years ago and then woke up about fifty years ago to begin welcoming survivors?

No... When I first met Chang Yin, he seemed to say that when he first met the first batch of survivors, he was still a normal human, and it was those survivors who turned him into that ghostly appearance.

Can’t understand...

Forget it, I’ll ask more questions when I see Chang Yin next time.

However, if the blood pattern creatures truly extend life to a thousand years, then hundreds of bottles of genetic agents become even more precious!

Such good stuff.

"By the way," Lou Fei’Er looked around at this time, "Has Wenxi already gone back? I still wanted to talk to her about our experience this time."

"Indeed!" Zeng Tao remembered and looked around a few times, "With all the sudden incidents earlier, I almost forgot, what about your sister? Didn’t your sister come too? Where is she? Is she taller than me?"

"It’s like this..."

Xu Xin sighed, put down his backpack, and informed the three women of what happened earlier.

"What?! Wenxi is missing?"

"Ah?"

"This..."

The three women were extremely shocked.

Regarding this matter, Xu Xin was a bit worried again and sent a voice inquiry to Ma Hongwei, who was still guarding at Li Wenxi’s treehouse: "What’s the situation over there? Has anyone come?"

"No, Brother Xin. There’s not a single person here. The insects have completely retreated now, and it’s very quiet around here. Not to mention people, there aren’t even any animals."

"...Alright, I understand. Hmm... I’ll have her people head back soon, and you can return then."

"Alright."

After ending the call, Xu Xin rubbed his temples.

There shouldn’t be any trouble; there shouldn’t be too much need to worry about the safety of those two since it’s not like they were taken by enemies.

Yingying isn’t an enemy and wouldn’t harm Wenxi.

However, Wenxi is very important for their current logistical support, and at this critical moment, abducting her, Yingying is really...

"So, the sister-in-law took the sister-in-law away?" Zeng Tao was a bit surprised, "This sister-in-law is strong! So is she taller than me?"

"...Taller than you by far." Xu Xin patted her head.

"...Cheh!"

"Hmm... Your sister took Wenxi away." Lou Fei’Er was a bit curious and asked, "Why take Wenxi? Does your sister know her?"

"There’s no way she knows Wenxi, I haven’t even seen her here... No." Xu Xin’s eyes narrowed slightly, contemplating.

She might... really know Wenxi.

...Or maybe it was Xu Xin himself who talked to her.

Told her in great detail!

Yes, when he was on the second floor of the palace, using a special state to return to the past, that’s when Xu Xin told Yingying, who was still in the past and hadn’t been sent over yet!

At that time, she learned about Wenxi’s relationship with him and became very interested in her, asking a lot of questions about her!

She knows Wenxi’s abilities!

Could it be...

She took Wenxi away for her abilities?

Wenxi’s ability to discover metal ores is very useful to Yingying?

Hmm...

He shook his head and then took out a tool from his backpack.

[Crystal Pickaxe (Gold): A super-strength crystal pickaxe capable of mining all minerals except its own material, with a certain chance to trigger a tenfold mining effect.]

Another tool?

A mineral mining pickaxe?

This item seems to be made by Li Wenxi, and it can even trigger a multiplier for mining, isn’t this exactly Wenxi’s ability?

...Wait...

Could this really be... something created by Li Wenxi?

Wenxi also has special abilities, so she was surely a member of that team back then. And Wenxi’s [Prospector] ability was granted to her via a bio-chip by that team—perhaps this is her inherent ability.

...So, this pickaxe is likely something made by Wenxi, who lived for hundreds of years.

"There is only one pickaxe." This time, Jin Yue explained, "Moreover, it’s not inside the box, just placed inside the house; it’s just a high-grade mining pickaxe."

Only one...

"Are there any metal mines among these resources?" Xu Xin asked immediately.

"No!"

"Didn’t see any."

"There shouldn’t be any, right?"

The three women all shook their heads.

Xu Xin sighed.

It seems that relying on these resources to temporarily fill the logistical gap caused by Wenxi’s departure won’t work.

The stock of metal mines is already running low and hasn’t been extracted during the heat waves in the past few days, plus the previous major weapons consumed a lot.

Wenxi’s role in the team is incredibly important and indispensable, otherwise, all heavy weapons will be suspended at this stage.

He really wanted to give Yingying, who caused trouble, a flick on the forehead.

...Everyone will be gathering soon; this must be discussed.

We must quickly locate his sister Xu Ying and bring Wenxi back!
