Chapter 278: The Beast Tide is Coming, Strange Phenomenon (4000 words)(2/2)
"Not yet. Every control panel needs blue-level logs." Xu Xin sighed, and he also felt it was a pity. "You have to grow this thing yourself. I'm afraid not many people have grown it."
"Blue-level logs?" Ji Chaoyang said immediately, "I still have three pieces left in my hand. I will trade them with you now. Prioritize the control panels for those who do not have plant hearts. We can do it first.
.”
As soon as Xu Xin said this, he received a transaction prompt.
The four of them have plant hearts. As long as there are not tens of thousands of ants attacking together like the last time, unless there are too strong mutant creatures, they will not threaten the tree house itself.
"I also have a lot of them on hand. Ma Hongwei planted a lot of blue-level logs himself, and I also planted one myself. One is enough for each of the explorers."
"That's good. By the way, there's one thing I want to ask." Ji Chaoyang asked, "Can you see the number of people in District 187 over there? Has their total number been decreasing recently?"
The number of people in District 187 has been decreasing?
It seems...that is indeed the case.
Lou Fei'er told him that the number of people in District 187 dropped so quickly that everyone was panicked, and their boss Zhang Daoguang had to tell everyone the truth and warned them not to fight among themselves.
"That's true. Did you find anything?"
"The survivor in the treehouse east of Li Wenxi died last night. I don't know how he died. When I went there today, there was only a dying treehouse left."
Dead?
"Killed by one of our own?" Xu Xin was a little confused. The people in District 187 who could kill people in this area could only belong to their District 188.
"No, I don't think so." Ji Chaoyang objected, "If he was killed by someone, then why wasn't the tree house dug up?"
"...Are you worried that there is something secretly hunting the survivors?" Xu Xin shook his head, "If this is true, why is it that nothing happened in our area, but all the people who died were from Area 187? Maybe he ran there on his own
Killed by underground creatures outside the protected area?"
"What you said is possible, but..." Ji Chaoyang's voice was filled with doubts, "A person with only one floor of a small tree house means that when he was active in the underground city, he found the entrance to the underground city, but did not dare to
Enter, can such a person really dare to run outside the protected area six kilometers away in such a cold weather?"
"Um..." Xu Xin touched his chin, "It's too cold to freeze to death? Is that possible? No one has provided them with fireplaces, and we have warned them in advance to make fireplaces and collect as much burning wood as possible
.”
The furnace requires 100 green-level stones, and many people can't get them all at once.
"It's quite possible." Ji Chaoyang pondered for a moment.
Then he said: "In addition to the explorers, I also have some contact with some other high-ranking people. Several of them told me that people in other nearby areas died inexplicably in the past two days, but the trees
The house had not been dug, and when they passed by, the tree house was in a dying state.
Although I don’t know why it hasn’t harmed our District 188 yet, we should be careful anyway. I have no contact with people in other districts, so I can only rely on you to ask."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin immediately contacted Ma Hongwei.
Lou Fei'er was still there, Xu Xin ordered her to help, but she didn't dare to be lazy and just leave.
He immediately confirmed the number of people in Area 187 with Lou Fei'er.
What surprised him was that there were only 701 people left in District 187!
More than a hundred people died!
this……
Xu Xin looked at the regional channel in District 188 again.
The number of people is very stable, no one has died recently, because he just set Ma Hongwei as the holder of the parasitic tree house, and the number of people has even increased by one.
"Do you know how the people over there died? They didn't freeze to death because they didn't make a fireplace, right?" Xu Xin asked.
"How is it possible? The remaining 800 people in District 187 are all the elites among the 10,000 people selected by Zhang Daoguang. How is it possible that they can't even get together 100 green-level stones." Lou Fei'er immediately denied, "District 187
Although he is weaker than us, he is not that weak. As for how he died... Zhang Daoguang also asked us to pay attention, but so far there is no result."
Indeed, on the day when they asked more than 3,000 people in District 188 to make fireplaces, in the end there were less than a hundred people who couldn't find the materials and needed their help. The more than 800 people in District 187 were all elites, so there couldn't be a hundred people.
Will many people freeze to death if they can't find all the materials?
But if it was killed by someone, why would the tree house remain and not be excavated?
strangeness……
Is it true that what Ji Chaoyang said is that something strange is taking away the lives of survivors?
