Chapter 83 Gene Invasion 9
Chapter 83
Thinking of the direction from which she had heard the wolf howl earlier, which was east, Lin Xia ran north, with the woman following behind her.
Lin Xia sped up, leaving the others far behind. Sure enough, there were mountains to the north, but now the mountains were practically in chaos.
The trees on the mountain were all incredibly thick. Lin Xia found a tree, quickly climbed up, took out a ball of earth, and stuck it into a large branch. The [Wood Element Card] surged rapidly, binding the entire ball of earth together. From a distance, it was impossible to tell that there was anything there.
Lin Xia finally felt relieved after crushing two "Special Insecticide" pills and scattering them around the soil ball.
Lin Xia took out another deworming pill and swallowed it. Seeing that no worms came out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is the fourth day. Lying in bed, Lin Xia was speechless. What's the point of looking for a safe zone? Being alone might be safer.
"Seventh Sister, we can't go to the safe base! I just went to the safe base with the natives last night, but as soon as we got there, some of the mutants went berserk and their strength increased a lot. They kill anyone they see."
"An extremely powerful mutant also emerged from underground. He went berserk and killed many people. I just ran out."
"I've inquired around. I'm in P City. This security base used to be a laboratory. Luckily, it's been exposed now."
"In the base, many people feel that mutants are no longer human and demand that they be expelled. With this incident, the conflict between the two sides will definitely deepen."
"I've found a cave and plan to hide here. You need to be careful too."
After seeing the message from Ji Wei, Lin Xia chatted with her for a few minutes and then saw that the lady had also come here. She picked and chose, found a tree not far from here, and climbed it.
Lin Xia watched as she jumped around, as if she wanted to build herself a treehouse. And sure enough, she had all the necessary tools.
Backup successful: Fully complete toolkit backup *1, requires 1000 survival points.
[The most comprehensive toolbox: Space Toolbox, everything you need.]
This person has many tools of all kinds, unlike Ji Wei, whose tools are mostly for enhancing strength.
After watching for a while, I realized she was very experienced. The trees here were thick and tall, and soon she dragged a lot of wide wooden planks from elsewhere.
Lin Xia lay down for a while before getting up to train her body. Staying here was a good way to steadily improve her strength.
As the already dark sky grew even darker, Lin Xia, while drinking water, saw that the treehouse had actually been set up.
She got some tree sap from somewhere and was smearing it into the cracks of the treehouse. There was a small window with interlaced wire mesh, and inside there was a wooden window that could be closed completely.
Then they used leaves to nail them one by one to the roof and side walls, and in no time they completely covered the treehouse.
Backup successful: Backup of 1 basic treehouse, requires 10 survival points.
[A simple treehouse: A treehouse built using system tools. It's very basic, but it can provide shelter from the wind and rain.]
Watching her disappear into the treehouse, Lin Xia withdrew her mental energy.
The forest was even more lively at night. Lin Xia checked the insecticide and then heard a rubbing sound. With a sweep of her mental energy, she saw a very thick and long venomous snake crawling towards the treehouse.
There were also monkeys lingering near the treehouse. Lin Xia understood the side effects of her [isolation suit], but since they weren't far away, she was afraid they would cause her the same trouble.
Just as she was thinking this, a flapping sound rang out, and she saw a large bird land on her tree, staring at the venomous snake.
It seems I need to adjust my sleep schedule; nighttime isn't a good time to rest.
Just as the snake stopped moving and became wary of the large bird, the branch of the large tree it was on suddenly softened and bound it tightly like a snake, then threw it towards the large bird.
The large bird snatched the venomous snake in its beak, shook its head, and flew away. The monkey was startled and turned to run away.
Wood-type superpowers... Lin Xia muttered to herself, no wonder she was so at ease in the forest, but she was also very strong herself.
Lin Xia, who had planned to sleep during the day, got up and continued her physical training.
In the middle of the night, a cry for help came from the direction of the sound. Lin Xia listened carefully and confirmed that it was indeed a human calling for help. She used her spiritual power to probe the direction from which the sound came.
The cry for help turned out to be a human head perched on a large willow tree. Only the head remained, with a willow branch stuck on top. The head had its eyes open, and its mouth moved as if to say, "Help...help...someone save me..."
Lin Xia shuddered. What the hell was this? She slowly scanned the entire willow tree and saw at least ten human heads hanging on the branches, all crying for help.
Looking down through the willow trees, Lin Xia saw that the ground was covered with bones. On the trunk of the willow tree, Lin Xia seemed to see a face, with eyes and a mouth. Was this willow tree about to become a spirit?
Withdrawing her mental energy, Lin Xia scanned the surrounding trees. Fortunately, the trees around her were indeed normal.
But it seemed they were surrounded by monkeys, at least a hundred of them, and the monkeys had already spotted her, even shaking her clay ball.
The throwing knife shot out, severing the claws of the monkeys in one fell swoop. A series of shrill cries rang out as they fell from the tree, and the monkeys threw various objects at them.
With a burst of mental energy, he threw the object back, so hard that the monkeys dared not approach or throw anything at him. The flying knife hovered, and the surrounding monkeys all retreated.
The monkeys near the treehouse were also whipped and made to jump around on the branches. Sometimes the branches they were on would suddenly go soft and they would fall to their deaths.
The monkeys chattered and retreated quickly. Then a huge monkey appeared, its body incredibly robust with bulging muscles. It was far away, howling as it rushed over and crashed into the tree where the treehouse was located.
The little monkeys stopped running and stood at a distance, chattering away.
Lin Xia saw the surrounding branches growing rapidly, entangling the large monkey, and it looked like it was about to be torn off.
Two throwing knives flew out swiftly, piercing through the monkey's eyes and stirring within his mind.
The huge monkey carcass fell to the ground with a thud, and the monkeys screamed and scattered in all directions.
The monkey's carcass, lying on the ground, was swarmed by various insects and devoured in no time, leaving only bare bones and not a single drop of blood.
Seeing that dawn was approaching, Lin Xia crushed two insecticide pills and sprinkled them around the soil ball. Unexpectedly, a small bird flew over, pecked at the insecticide pills, and left none behind.
Seeing the insects around him getting restless, he took out two more and scattered them. The bird actually flew over again.
Lin Xia was speechless. She looked outside and saw that it was raining again. She was afraid that the medicine she had sprayed would be washed away by the rain. She looked at the backup area and thought that since the person in the treehouse would attract large animals anyway, she simply spent 3,000 survival points to exchange for a set of [Isolation Suit].
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the outfit was actually made of thermal underwear. She put it on underneath and then put the waterproof suit on top.
This was the first time she had ever spent so many survival points to exchange for items in a game.
Today is the fifth day. Lin Xia looks at the still dark forest and wonders what she will encounter next. The big willow tree is also a hidden danger. She wonders if it will expand its territory like that vine.
