"Furthermore, this isn't just happening in Area 1. It's happening in most areas where the teleportation array has been activated. Because in the snow and ice, the withered tree house is easily noticed by those around it. That's why I suspect this matter isn't simple."
It does seem a bit weird.
You know, there is no activity now, and there are not many mutant creatures in the ice and snow that will actively attack survivors.
You have to know that those who have survived to this day are already familiar with the rules of this world, and the possibility of them doing something suicidal is very small, let alone so many people doing it together.
Therefore, it is indeed very strange that a large number of people suddenly started dying when there was no activity.
"You mean, this situation occurred in all areas where the teleportation array was activated, but not in areas where the teleportation array was not activated?" Xu Xin asked.
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang replied, "Even we are the same."
Us too?!
Xu Xin immediately clicked on the regional channel to check the number of people in District 188.
"...There are indeed more than a dozen people missing." Xu Xin's face looked a little ugly.
"Xu Xin, I feel that this matter is most likely related to the fact that we have dragged on the cold winter for too long." Ji Chaoyang speculated.
"What do you mean?" Xu Xin's heart moved.
Could it be that...
"For areas where the teleportation array has not been activated, their punishment is to be buried by snow that becomes increasingly violent day by day. They lose the ability to obtain resources and eventually freeze to death in the tree houses," Ji Chaoyang explained.
"From what I've heard, the snow in other areas last night was heavier than usual, and the snow piled up even deeper. Furthermore, their treehouses seem to have been affected as well. According to the survivors whose treehouses were half-buried, the warmth of their fireplaces has decreased significantly today. The temperature in their treehouses is now only around ten degrees Celsius."
Unexpectedly, the accumulated snow would also affect the temperature inside the tree house.
"...And for those of us in regions where the blizzard is essentially over, there are additional penalties." Xu Xin spoke up. "That's what you just mentioned. Is that what you meant?"
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang admitted immediately, "These areas of ours that are no longer affected by the blizzard are not as safe as we imagined. We have experienced this before."
really.
Furry monsters, wolves, strange teleportation arrays...
And Coco was always alert to the strange behaviors around her.
It does show that they are not at peace now.
"That mysterious voice said that this cold winter must end as soon as possible, otherwise terrible things will happen." Xu Xin recalled the mysterious voice's words, and his eyes twitched slightly. "It seems that this sentence was meant for everyone to hear."
Both of them were silent for two seconds.
Ji Chaoyang spoke: "So, there are two urgent matters now."
"The first thing is to immediately establish contact with District 1, and then contact Shi Wanyun. She must know something, which is why she frantically tried to ask us for help yesterday."
But unfortunately, they were trapped in the underground world at that time.
Xu Xin slid his watch again and looked at the world trading platform. There had been no information about Shi Wanyun on it for a long time.
...Could something have happened to her?
This is such a danger that even the top experts in Area 1 can’t withstand it?
Xu Xin's heart was slightly lifted.
"The second point is..."
"Don't delay any longer. Let's end this cold winter quickly," Xu Xin continued. "Also, tell everyone else not to go out. Hiding in the tree house should be the safest place."
Their District 188 has actually lost more than a dozen people.
"That's right. I've already warned everyone in our area not to go out until the winter is over. Just stay in your tree house and be on guard."
“This is indeed the safest way.”
The survivors in Area 188 were all equipped with tree house heavy crossbows and also had some explosive crossbows. Perhaps because of this, the situation in their area was still okay, with only a dozen people reduced, and it didn't even attract any attention.
After all, in this world, only a dozen people dying a day is actually considered a good situation.
"You go contact Wang Lei and the others. I'll ask Qin Fu and the others about the situation in District 187 at the time." Xu Xin said.
"good."
After hanging up the call with Ji Chaoyang, Xu Xin called Qin Fu directly.
Qin Fu did not answer the call, but hung up directly.
"...What's going on?" Xu Xin was slightly stunned.
Then a map appeared in my mind.
Qin Fu's location is still in the hilly resource area, but it is slightly different from his previous location, about a few hundred meters away.
What is he doing?
Could it be that he really discovered something, was doing something, and now he couldn't speak?
You know, if it weren't for special circumstances, it would be impossible for someone like him who had signed a contract with Xu Xin to refuse his call request.
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
It's really possible.
After all, his ability is to perceive the situation on the ground and underground around him, and he may really discover something abnormal around him.
...Maybe it is really related to what he and Ji Chaoyang just talked about?
It is really possible. After all, a similar thing happened in District 187. With Qin Fu's ability, he might really be able to... discover some clues at that time.
