Chapter 489 Improving Strength (4600 Words)

After the scorching heat came, the first night fell.

Compared with the cold winter nights, the hot summer nights are much lower than the daytime temperature, but it is more difficult to survive.

After all, the survivors in the cold winter can burn the fireplace to keep warm, so as long as there are no other dangers, they can sleep comfortably.

But today's night is different.

Who can sleep comfortably in the high temperature of about forty degrees?

You must know that on the earth, even if the temperature is as high as 40 degrees on a certain day, it can only be reached in the afternoon at noon, and it will drop to more than 30 degrees in most nights.

Therefore, most nights are actually not that hot, and even without air conditioning, you can sleep more peacefully.

But now it's different.

The current situation is that it is close to sixty degrees in the afternoon and around forty degrees at night!

The temperature at night is about the same as the hot noon on the earth!

This directly makes most people go crazy with heat!

"Why is it so hot at night..."

"Isn't the sun already going down?"

"I'm really going crazy!"

"Oh my god, can someone help me... I'm going to die of heat..."

"How can the boss help? Run to your tree house to fan you?"

"Boss, come and install the air conditioner for me..."

"You're hot and stupid."

"I feel like I'm going to die tonight... I've persisted until now..."

The ability of the explorer's saltpeter refrigeration has not been spread yet, and these people don't know it yet. The people on the explorer's side are chatting happily in the cool tree house, playing cards and mahjong.

After all, those who enjoy saltpeter refrigeration and the "constant temperature" ability of the tree house on their side have no way of contacting the outside world, so this news cannot be leaked out.

Xu Xin and the others didn't intend to leak the news.

They are incapable of helping others right now.

Even the people in District 188 didn't help them this time, let alone the survivors in other districts.

So, don't let them know that you are so comfortable here.

"Oh, it's still comfortable in the room." Li Wenxi lay on the sofa and didn't want to move.

She had just come back not long ago.

Just now I was excited to dig copper mines, but I didn't want to move as soon as I got on the sofa.

"By the way, from today to now, I just trained three more pieces of purple-level meteorite, so give it to you."

Li Wenxi sat up, took out the meteorite iron ore from her backpack and put it on the table.

Three pieces of purple-grade meteorite ore.

"Is it so fast?" Xu Xin raised her eyebrows and put away the meteorite mine.

"Well, it does take a long time to smelt meteoric iron ore, so I used three furnaces to refine meteoric iron ore." Li Wenxi lay back on the sofa again, and said lazily, "So I got three yuan. From now on, I will almost Just this amount, after all, other furnaces will be used to smelt other metals."

really.

Steel lumps, iron lumps, and copper that they can now mine in large quantities.

These all need to be smelted.

Moreover, it has been consumed a lot recently, and Li Wenxi's smelting room has never stopped.

Fortunately, the scorching heat had no effect on the smelting room.

Xu Xin contacted other people in the explorer, but they didn't encounter anything else.

Xu Xin simply told them that there was a giant beast attacking him, but he beat them away, telling them to be careful.

Zhao Xiaochuan: "What? True or false, giant beast attack?!"

Wang Lei: "Did the giant anaconda come out again from the fox lake next to your tree house, Brother Xin?"

Xu Xin: "No, it's a blood-striped troll. Fortunately, I have chased it away, and..."

He told them all about the current situation.

Ji Zhaoyang: "So that's the case, no wonder, the voice from your side reached me at that time."

Wen Guixin: "You already have such a strong heavy crossbow! When will you give us one too?"

Wen Guixin's ability is not yet able to deal with giant beasts, so if there is a giant beast attack, she and the survivors parasitic on her will have to rely more on heavy crossbows to fight.

Li Wenxi: "Oh, the material is not enough now, and with the current weather, it is impossible to go to the iron mine to dig. When the resources become abundant in the future, I will give each of you one. Xu Xin is mainly used Against that giant anaconda."

Everyone else has no opinion.

After all, the heavy crossbow was developed by Xu Xin's Ma Hongwei, and the resources were obtained by Li Wenxi's ability.

Xu Xin: "Everyone, please pay attention tonight. Although my incident was an accident, it doesn't mean there is no danger. No one can tell what happened on the first day of the scorching heat."

Ji Chaoyang: "Indeed, I have reminded everyone in District 188 not to think about going out just because the temperature drops tonight."

Qi Xuefei: "There is something I want to tell you. My cultivation of medicinal materials is temporarily suspended."

The cultivation of medicinal materials has been suspended?

"Ah?" Sitting next to Xu Xin, Li Wenxi was surprised, "Aborted? I gave Sister Xuefei a lot of saltpeter, can't it?"

Qi Xuefei explained.

She tried to use blue-grade saltpeter for refrigeration, but...

Medicinal materials need a relatively balanced temperature, but with blue-grade saltpeter, the temperature cannot be controlled in a balanced manner.

At noon, the temperature near the saltpeter ice basin is suitable, but if it is a little farther away, the temperature will rise very seriously, so I am afraid that it will take more than a dozen pieces of blue-grade saltpeter to barely maintain growth.

Moreover, the blue-grade saltpeter is consumed very quickly in an environment of 50 or 60 degrees, which requires someone to replace a new batch every one or two hours, and then take the previous batch to dry for the next use.

This is actually not very troublesome, but what is more troublesome is that it is only at noon.

The temperature at night is another matter.

As the temperature drops at night, the effect of saltpeter is greater, which will greatly reduce the temperature in the medicinal material cultivation room, so it is necessary to control the amount of saltpeter.

After all, saltpeter is not an air conditioner and cannot achieve constant temperature.

In addition, the temperature change in the next few days is also uncertain. I am afraid that the temperature will change further, and it will be even more troublesome at that time.

Therefore, Qi Xuefei and those people who lived on her side temporarily gave up nurturing.

Anyway, the medicine in her hand, as long as it doesn't continue to be released to other areas, is enough for everyone in Area 188 to use for a long time. It is completely enough.

It's just that, people in other regions will feel uncomfortable.

Qi Xuefei has now suspended the release of medicines to areas other than Area 188 and Area 1. Even for Area 1, the supply in the alliance trading channel has been greatly reduced.

Now, the people on the World Channel are already wailing.

After all, the price of Qi Xuefei's low-level therapeutic drugs sold to the outside world has become more and more reasonable, and normal people can buy one even if they bite their teeth.

But now, you can't buy it.

It is still in this hot summer period, when it is very easy to get sick due to heat stroke, medicine is no longer available.

Xu Xin shook her head.

Now, it is really difficult for people in the outer zone.

Hope they are not too miserable. Now they really don't care about people in the outer zone in all aspects.

After finishing the conversation with the explorers, Xu Xin called Lou Feier, Ma Hongwei, Jin Yue, and also called Zeng Tao who was mixing with other survivors below.

"What's the matter, what do you want me to do? Ah, Wenxi, you're here too." Zeng Tao came up first, and sat down on the sofa, beside Li Wenxi.

"Let's talk about it when they come."

Soon, several people came over.

Xu Xin wanted to call Qin Fu out of the second bedroom, but he was obviously in a deep sleep and lack of energy, so it was fine after thinking about it.

Let him continue to rest.

"Why did you call them all here?" Li Wenxi was also a little puzzled, and tugged at Xu Xin's clothes, "You don't know what to go out at night, do you? Didn't you say it was dangerous?"

"Of course not." Xu Xin smiled, then looked at the others, "I called you here this time to improve your strength."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of troll meat and placed it on the table.

"Hmm...? Isn't this the troll's meat?" Li Wenxi was about to say something when the eyes of the other people on the table changed when they looked at the meat on the table.

Their eyes widened as if they had seen some peerless delicacy.

"...This, is this the troll's meat?" Zeng Tao looked at the pieces of meat on the table, drooling, "This... this meat smells so delicious, I feel like I could eat it raw ..."

It's not just her feeling.

Even Ma Hongwei, who has always been uninterested in studying heavy crossbows, has changed his eyes.

Yin Wang and Mimi, who were lying in the corner, ran over the moment Xu Xin took out the meat, staring at the meat.

"Huh...huh?" Ke Ke was awakened by the movement around her, and when she woke up, she was startled to see so many people, and went straight into Xu Xin's arms.

"Is it that delicious?" Li Wenxi glanced at the meat, then turned to look at Xu Xin, "I remember, we shouldn't eat this meat, right?"

"Yeah." Xu Xin nodded, "It is highly poisonous to us, but it is a great tonic to them. The meat of this troll can enhance your strength. From now on, this kind of meat will be your staple food .”

"Can it improve strength?" Lou Fei'er was surprised, "This meat can also improve strength, is it like the red mist?"

Jin Yue stared straight at the piece of meat. She had a deep obsession with improving her strength. After knowing that this delicious-looking meat could even improve her strength, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"Ah, I've always wanted to ask you about Red Mist." Xu Xin looked at everyone, "Have you already experienced Red Mist? How fast do you think your strength is increasing?"

"Well..." Lou Fei'er said first, "I'm already at the level of intermediate mutation, and the red mist doesn't seem to have much substantial improvement for me. I can feel the strength when I'm immersed in the red mist Enhanced, the mind is relatively clear, but after leaving the red mist, it will return to its original state."

"It still has some effect on me." Zeng Tao said, "I still feel a little improvement, but not much, more like what Lou Feier said, I can feel significantly enhanced when I am in it."

Jin Yue also nodded: "I'm the same as Zeng Tao."

Xu Xin turned to look at Ma Hongwei.

Ma Hongwei smiled awkwardly: "I haven't been to that room for a long time, and I have been busy researching the heavy crossbow. I feel that my personal ability is too weak compared to the heavy crossbow."

Xu Xin shook her head: "Personal ability still needs to be improved. Because you can't guarantee that you will always be in the tree house."

For example, in the underground world, no matter how strong the tree house is, it is useless.

For another example, if you encounter a situation like Shi Wanyun, you must have excellent strength yourself.

The tree house is the home, and the heavy crossbow is the means to protect the home, but... one cannot stay at home all the time.

"I'd rather stay in the tree house forever." Ma Hongwei scratched his head and said.

Although his personality has changed drastically after experiencing the incident with the giant anaconda, there is one thing that has not changed, that is, his cautiousness that can be said to be timid.

It is his creed not to do unnecessary things.

"This world doesn't allow you to stay comfortably in a tree house." Xu Xin said disapprovingly.

Just like Shi Wanyun, isn't that also the danger she encountered near her tree house?

At this time, Lou Fei'er said: "I personally think that Red Mist is just a temporary increase in strength, more like a stimulant. In Red Mist, the strength will indeed increase, but it does not mean that you will become stronger."

Xu Xin nodded.

Like an athlete on drugs.

"Since the red mist can't enhance your own eyesight, starting today, you should eat this meat for every meal to enhance your own strength." Xu Xin pointed to the troll meat on the table and said, "It can be done ?"

"There's nothing you can't do." Zeng Tao stared at the piece of meat, her throat rolled, her eyes lit up, "I'll just eat you up!"

Seeing her expression of wanting to pick up raw meat and eat it directly, Xu Xin quickly picked up the meat on the table and threw it to Yin Wang and Mimi.

The two beasts immediately bit the two sides of the meat and pulled it, and the meat was divided into two parts and entered the stomachs of the two beasts.

"Ah!" Zeng Tao yelled, "Why...how to give them...!"

"Don't worry, little Taozi, this one has a lot of meat." Lou Fei'er smiled at the side, "Don't even think about it, that troll is so big, he can only find his head."

"...Hiss!" Thinking of this, Zeng Tao's eyes immediately lit up, "That means..."

"Eat with an open stomach, as much as you want, I can provide you with as much as you want." Xu Xin said.

His words brightened the eyes of everyone present.

Xu Xin first gave each of them tens of kilograms of meat.

"Raise the mutation level to the intermediate level as soon as possible. When you reach the intermediate level, I will have a better way to upgrade."

As he spoke, he took out the purple-level medicine contained in the gold-level reagent bottle, and briefly introduced it.

Immediately, several people around looked at the reagent eagerly.

Lou Feier even looked at Xu Xin directly, the meaning is very simple, I have already reached the intermediate level, can you give it to me!

Xu Xin immediately gave Lou Fei'er two bottles of reagents.

In the underground world at that time, Lou Feier had taken this reagent in the bracelet, but only took one bottle.

"When you upgrade to the intermediate level, you can take this reagent to increase your strength."

"Then I want to eat meat now!" Zeng Tao couldn't wait any longer, "I want to eat meat to increase my strength!"

"Then go to my place, little Taozi." Lou Fei'er put away the reagents contentedly, and sat next to Zeng Tao, "Follow me back to the tree house."

"...What do you want!" Zeng Tao looked wary.

She has no ability now and can only be slaughtered by others.

"Okay, you can go back."

Several people were sent out of the tree house by Xu Xin.

Zeng Tao originally wanted to stay in Xu Xin's tree house, but now she has no strength and can only be dragged away by Lou Fei'er.

"It's great, they now have all kinds of food and potions that can improve their strength." Li Wenxi sighed, "But our own strength is somewhat stagnant now."

"Isn't my alchemy potion always improving your strength?" Xu Xin knocked her on the head.

"It seems to be!"

Xu Xin glanced out the window, there was no wind in the sultry night.

This ghost world doesn't even want to give them a little cool wind.

After a busy day, Li Wenxi continued to rest, while Xu Xin found a few people and continued to decompose the remaining troll corpses on the first floor of the tree house.

time flies.

After working for a few hours and disassembling one leg and half of the troll's body, it was time for bed.

So Xu Xin went back to the third floor to wash, and carried Li Wenxi, who was drowsy on the sofa, into the bedroom.

The two lay tenderly on the bed.

Keke didn't know when she had already fallen asleep lying on the bed.

Because there is still someone asleep next door, so let's be honest tonight.

"Tonight, there shouldn't be anything else going on, right?" Li Wenxi said softly with trembling eyelids.

"Probably, no way..."

Both of them were very tired today, and soon fell asleep.

…

The next day, Xu Xin was awakened by a shock.

His watch was vibrating.

He raised his hand and saw that it was Ji Zhaoyang's voice, so he connected.

It's only five o'clock...

"Hey..." Xu Xin said weakly, "What's wrong, it's so early..."

"Xu Xin, we have lost contact with the outside world again."
