Chapter 106
"Are you building some kind of sky villa?" exclaimed Miu Yi, who was sitting on the ground warming himself by the fire.
What you see in front of you is not a tree house at all, it is simply a special homestay wooden house!
Pei Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You guys have done such a good job, I'm afraid those puppeteers will fight to the death to occupy this place."
"Then let's fight them. We are invincible in the universe and we are not afraid of anyone." Bai Zhou looked indifferent.
"Save your energy for later." Pei Zhao shook his head and said to Zhou Yuli, "Just build two tree houses so that you can sleep with us."
"I can turn into a bat and hang in your house." Miu Yi said, poking the fire.
"Well, as long as you feel comfortable." Pei Zhao did not force it. As long as she could do it under his nose, it was fine.
Pei Zhao spoke and Bai Zhou had no objection, so Zhou Yuli collected the vines and built two new tree houses.
Pei Zhao was satisfied: "It's simple, very good."
Lan Ji said, "Let's go find some hay and leaves and lay the ground. Zhao, you can be the water purifier."
"Okay." Pei Zhao nodded. "Zhou Yuli, go find some food, wild fruits, or fish are fine, but don't use your strength to catch fish, just go to the shore and catch a few."
"So, you can just grill the fish here, okay?"
Miu Yi blinked: "Yes!"
"Very good." Pei Zhao was relieved.
The five people acted separately.
Pei Zhao's so-called simple water purifier is actually a rainwater collector that collects rainwater and gathers it into a certain amount.
For a water purifier, only the substances used for filtering can be added in the middle. Yet none of that is here.
So Pei Zhao made a simple two-in-one water collector and water purifier.
The lens glass that is easily made can be glued together after being heated at high temperature to form a small box. The top is divided in the middle by a vertical piece of glass, which is just enough to be covered by a small piece of glass.
The rainwater falling on it will flow down and flow into another box by gravity, where it will be heated and turned into water vapor, rising and falling in temperature. But what awaits them is an openable condensation plate with an ice cube on it.
The water vapor turns into water droplets and falls down, encountering an inclined plate erected at an intermediate height and being transported to the third chamber.
There are a few clean pebbles placed below, and the water that falls into it will boil along with the pebbles.
And then poured out.
"I hope it rains tonight." Pei Zhao prayed silently and made two or three water collectors in the same way. They were enough for five people to drink for a day.
Using the mirror whip, Pei Zhao climbed to the top of the tree and looked towards where they came from.
Among those puppeteers, many were dressed in bright red and green, making them easy to identify.
There were no longer as many people at the place where he landed. It was probably because those people felt bored after he left, and as it was getting dark, they finally realized that they needed to find a place to rest.
There was still a group of people left, some of whom had pitched tents on the spot.
"Someone actually brought supplies." Pei Zhao thought to himself.
In addition to the teleportation site, there are some obvious colors in the forest. They are puppeteers who are looking for a resting place just like they were before.
Pei Zhao stood at the highest point and could see people standing on the tops of several trees.
They looked at each other from a long distance and couldn't tell each other's identities. But Pei Zhao clearly realized one thing: they were not the only ones with supernatural powers.
Although these puppeteers are a bit stupid and annoying, they are just like them after all. They have traveled through so many worlds to get here, so they are definitely not all easy to deal with.
Pei Zhao couldn't help but frown.
It seems that it would be best to keep a close eye on their movements.

Night falls.
Sure enough, it started to rain heavily.
In the tree house, a small flame hung in the air.
The tree roof, with its broad leaves, shields it from the falling rain.
The ground was covered with dry leaves.
The warm light shines on my body, making me feel warm.
Miu was dissatisfied with the brightness and the heat, so he ran to hang under the tree house to cool off.
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji were in another room, where the fire had gone out.
Pei Zhao sat on the ground, leaning in Zhou Yuli's arms, frowning as he looked at his cell phone.
"Has Sudi not replied yet?" Zhou Yuli asked as he massaged Pei Zhao's shoulders and saw that he looked irritated.
Pei Zhao hummed, "I hope it's just a power outage, not an accident."
It has been less than a day since Sudi last called, and we have lost contact now.
With Sudi's ability and Yu's secret assistance, it shouldn't be... that serious.
"Zhou Yuli," Pei Zhao put down his phone and pressed the sun button with a headache, "What do you think is going on?"
Zhou Yuli put down his hand, thought for a moment, and said truthfully: "Sudi just doesn't take action normally, but with his ability, he has no problem protecting himself."
Pei Zhao thought so too.
"With his ability, as long as he has not run out of energy, he will have no problem escaping." Pei Zhao nodded, "I hope I am just worrying too much. Maybe his phone just has no signal."
Pei Zhao leaned down, and Zhou Yuli understood and adjusted the posture to a more comfortable position, allowing Pei Zhao to lean more comfortably and start chatting about business.
"Want to make plans for tomorrow?"
Pei Zhao's eyelids were drooping, and he forced himself to cheer up, saying vaguely: "It needs to be arranged... I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but it is certain... that sooner or later we will have to fight a tough battle..."
Pei Zhao's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally nothing could be heard.
Zhou Yuli looked down and saw that Pei Zhao had fallen asleep.
He carefully laid the person down. Fearing that Pei Zhao would feel cold, Zhou Yuli took off his coat and carefully covered Pei Zhao with it.
Blow out the fire.
The sound of rain hitting the leaves seemed to be amplified in my ears.
For a moment, Zhou Yuli felt that there were only him and Pei Zhao in this world.
Zhou Yuli slowly lay down beside Pei Zhao.
Apart from the sound of rain, the only sound was Pei Zhao's light and steady breathing.
Zhou Yuli blinked and tried to identify Pei Zhao in the darkness.
A lot of things have happened recently, the system, the original world, parents, Sudi...
He was forced to participate in new and uncertain events one after another, and had to devote himself to them in order to find the truth.
Zhou Yuli knew better than anyone that neither he nor Pei Zhao were the kind of people who wanted to join in the fun.
To put it bluntly, whether the world is dominated by human civilization or by a higher civilization is not important to them at all.
Life always has an ending.
The reason why they were involved was actually because of the sympathy Pei Zhao had for Xiao Rui when they were in the school dormitory.
Zhou Yuli knew better than anyone that Pei Zhao regretted more than anyone else, and agreed to ask Xiao Rui to help mediate the fight.
This can be seen from the increasing number of quarrels in recent times.
Because of anxiety, the emotions in life are magnified.
Fortunately, there is this puppeteer competition. Only after getting all the puppeteers involved did Pei Zhao start to feel less guilty.
Pei Zhao was very gentle to him today.
Zhou Yuli looked at the person in the darkness greedily, and a hope emerged in his heart.
if……
If possible, once things are over, can you please not take on high-risk missions?
Just be an ordinary puppeteer and puppet. Go to different worlds and bring some puppets back home, along with Bai Zhou, Lan Ji, and Miu Yi, and happily open a puppet shop, and that would be great.
They can also do some side jobs to make money and live a better life.
This is Zhou Yuli’s inner hope. But he also had another goal that never changed.
He wanted Pei Zhao to live a better life.
In the dark night, Zhou Yuli's gaze gradually became firm.
He wants to achieve both of these goals.
So the first step to achieve the goal is to successfully pass this puppeteer assessment.
To get through alive.
·
A dreamless night.
The sky was beginning to light up in the distance, and a hint of emerald green rose on a blue and white line.
…emerald green?
Pei Zhao rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things.
Is it really a green sun?
Pei Zhao quickly woke Zhou Yuli up.
"Zhou Yuli, wake up, look at the sun outside..."
After being shaken twice, Zhou Yuli slowly woke up and looked in the direction of Pei Zhao's finger.
"Why is the sun green?" Zhou Yuli suddenly woke up and frowned, "Wait for me here, I'll go out and take a look"
At this moment, a weak voice sounded above their heads.
"Don't go out, there's something wrong with that light..."
Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli were startled. Zhou Yuli immediately blocked Pei Zhao behind him, but Pei Zhao felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar.
"Wait a minute," Pei Zhao stopped Zhou Yuli from placing the wooden vines, and carefully identified the position above his head with the dim light, "This sound is like a mistake."
But unlike his usual strong and powerful voice, the wrong voice was extremely weak.
"It's me." A small cold thing fell into Pei Zhao's hand.
"Why are you so cold? Why are you still making such a sound? Where have you been?" Pei Zhao frowned and quickly wrapped Miu Yi with clothes.
The body lost temperature and the whole body was shaking violently.
The tiny claws clung to Pei Zhao's fingers, and he tried to explain in a weak voice.
"The first ray of sunlight in the morning hit my body and it was cold. Then my energy quickly drained away, my body gradually became stiff, and my consciousness became blurred. It was as if I was not myself..." Miu Yi tried hard to recall, "I struggled to crawl back, and I almost died outside."
Pei Zhao was about to continue asking when he suddenly heard a wild howl.
Pei Zhao was stunned and then he heard Zhou Yuli's voice.
"Is it a wolf? Or..."
"Werewolf." The voice came from next door, muffled, but it could be distinguished as Bai Zhou's voice.
Lan Ji's voice was heard shortly afterwards: "Don't leave the room. There is danger outside. Something is wrong."
"Zhou Yuli, can you open a hole to see what's happening outside?" Pei Zhao asked.
Fortunately, both tree houses were designed by Zhou Yuli. He easily created a narrow window while keeping the original structure of the house unchanged.
The green skylight adds a strange filter to the scene as far as the eye can see.
Just as Pei Zhao was about to reach out his hand, Zhou Yuli grabbed his wrist.
"What? Are you going to put yourself in danger?"
Pei Zhao looked over and saw that Zhou Yuli's face was not good, his brows were furrowed, and he looked a little more fierce than usual.
Pei Zhao shook his head: "Just want to try."
Zhou Yuli pursed his lips, raised his hand, pulled a vine from his palm and handed it to Pei Zhao: "Just use this to try it, there is energy on it, the vine has life, and it is not much different from a human."
What Zhou Yuli said was right, and Pei Zhao gladly accepted it.
The clothes were wrapped around the palms, a wooden vine was placed on them, and they were slowly carried to the window.
The moment the light shines on the vines, they appear unusually green.
"It's just... like being poisoned." Pei Zhao sighed.
However, the next second, the emerald green vine was rapidly expanding under the skin. Pei Zhao subconsciously held up a mirror with his backhand and threw the wooden vine out of the window.
"Bang!" The swollen wooden vine exploded outside the window. Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli saw the scene clearly.
The unusual bright red juice, like a juicy fruit, burst out in all directions as it broke into pieces.
If it weren't for the mirror blocking the way, their tree house would have been the main disaster area.
Shocked, Pei Zhao grabbed Zhou Yuli's arm and said, "Your vines are not this color, right?"
He knew very well that the juice on the cross section of the vines cut by Zhou Yuli was transparent or light green, and never this horrible red color.
"No." Zhou Yuli's face turned cold, and he asked Pei Zhao, "Do you feel that this situation seems to have changed?"
Pei Zhao also nodded, his expression solemn: "It does look like a mutation, but the speed is so fast!"
It took only a few seconds from the time he stretched out his hand to the time he threw it out with extremely fast reaction.
The rate of mutation is too fast and too dangerous.
Pei Zhao held Miu Yi in his arms, and he and Zhou Yuli leaned against the other side of the tree house, away from the sunlight.
Pei Zhao shouted, "There is indeed a problem, be careful and don't get close to the sun!"
"Zhao Zhao," someone next door called out, "Look outside, is that a werewolf?"
Werewolf?
Pei Zhao was stunned. Zhou Yuli also said that the cry just now was from a werewolf.
Pei Zhao looked towards the window.
In the forest filled with strange green color, some beautiful fabrics appeared in the gaps. Pei Zhao's sharp eyes locked onto those fabrics, gradually outlining a complete human body.
That's the thigh. Move a little. Above it is the waist. Further up is the abdomen, chest, head...where is the head?
Pei Zhao was stunned.
The original human head turned into a hairy mass.
Green vertical pupils and sharp fangs.
Pei Zhao's pupils suddenly shrank.
What a werewolf.
