Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1478 723: Tension After Ennui (Part 2)

Within just one day, the radiation within a hundred-kilometer radius had dissipated to a level where normal life was possible.

As for the ”Sky Pit” a hundred kilometers away that had been a major target, though it hadnʼt returned to normal levels, it had been greatly reduced.

Not to mention, during this time, they had cultivated a lot of [Radiation Grass] from what Xu Xin had previously acquired, and even produced [Anti-Radiation Suits].

Their equipment now could be said to be very complete.

...

”Didnʼt you see the chat we just had in the group?” Xu Xin said helplessly as she watched Xu Ying, who stretched lazily and then sank back onto the sofa.

”Huh? In the group?” Xu Ying picked up the communicator, glanced at it, and said nonchalantly, ”Ah, that explains why my phone kept buzzing. I was at the critical stage of a game and didnʼt pay much attention.”

This girl...

Seeing Xu Xinʼs face darken a bit, Xu Ying quickly raised her hands, ”Iʼm sorry, Iʼm sorry. Ah, I just got lazy thinking thereʼs a hundredfold time in the World Tree... Youʼre all just as lazy!”

”Whoʼs as lazy as you?” Xu Xin rolled his eyes, ”You stay at home all day, donʼt even step out, and once they even texted me, asking if something bad happened to you.”

”Uh...” Xu Ying said a bit bashfully, ”But outside, itʼs full of my followers, going out is such a hassle...”

Thatʼs indeed the case.

The fervent believers outside, once they learned of the results of their recent actions, each of them simply...

Even Xu Xin, he would avoid going out if he could.

He even considered wearing the Cloak of Concealment when going out.

”…Youʼve seen the group message too; in two hours, weʼre discussing this matter.”

”Whatʼs there to discuss?” Xu Ying shrugged, ”Hasnʼt it been decided? Weʼll split into two groups, one to investigate the alien invadersʼ lair, and the other to transport the tanks from the wreckage a hundred kilometers away.”

”Details still need discussion.”

”Oh, alright then, still two hours, right? Iʼll continue then!”

Saying that, she sat down and continued playing with her controller.

Xu Xin looked at her.

”Why are you staring at me like that!”

She turned her head slightly to glance at Xu Xin, expressing dissatisfaction.

”Nothing.”

Xu Xin shook his head and sat down on the side sofa.

Yingying, although she seemed indifferent, was actually a bit nervous.

The hand holding the controller was obviously gripping it tightly.

This girl was clearly using a nonchalant attitude to mask her nervousness.

For her, inside the World Tree and outside it was like the difference between paradise and hell.

Xu Xin didnʼt say more, he just sat beside her, watching her play the game.

About an hour later, there was a sound at the door.

It was Li Wenxi who came back.

”Ah, Yingying, why are you still playing games!”

She was a bit dusty at the moment, with a hint of metallic scent.

”Did the cave, dig even deeper?” Xu Xin asked with a smile.

”Of course, but unfortunately, no new materials were found.”

Li Wenxi took off her coat, ”Iʼm going to take a shower.”

”Perfect, I wanted to wash up too.” Xu Xin stood up.

”Then come on!”

Xu Ying glanced at them, ”Keep it down, Iʼm still out here.”

Li Wenxi was already immune to her, lifted the corner of her mouth, ”The bathroom is on the third floor, you wonʼt be able to hear.”

Seeing the two go upstairs, Xu Ying put down the controller.

Then she pounced on the sofa and took Coco, who was snoring on the sofaʼs armrest, into her arms for a thorough cuddle.

”Squeak squeak squeak?!”

Coco was turned into a fluffy little panda, the little face full of confusion upon just waking up.

Xu Ying lay on the sofa with Coco, staring at the ceiling, muttering softly.

”Should I find a man too...”

”Dying like this seems so pathetic...”

”Sigh... Should I lower my standards, itʼs really hard to find someone who matches my brother...”

Her body had been modified in another space-time, on the alien invadersʼ side.

All surviving humans back then underwent modifications because the alien invaders didnʼt want humans to reproduce, which made them mostly lose their ability to reproduce.

Even desire was mostly gone.

And her standard for finding a man was someone at least as handsome and strong as her brother Xu Xin, which resulted in her having no romantic experiences even at three hundred years old now.

But now, she was triggered.

In another space-time, although Li Wenxi was her sister-in-law, the two never did that sort of thing.

After all, everyoneʼs bodies had been modified.

But now, itʼs different; her brother and sister-in-law in this timeline are normal people!

”Hmm... Brother Chaoyang is not bad, but unfortunately heʼs already been snatched by Sister Xuefei.”

”Wang Lei, Zhao Xiaochuan... forget it, forget it...”

”Sigh... Forget it, having Coco is enough!”

She then cuddled Coco a few more times.

”Squeak squeak!”

The little one was fluffed up all over, couldnʼt bear it any longer, and directly escaped from her hands, hiding in the corner of the sofa, watching her warily.

Xu Ying continued staring at the ceiling lying on the sofa, her expression a bit strange, muttering to herself, ”Hmph, they say I canʼt hear... Do they even know how good my hearing is? I... ah ah ah! Those two!”
