Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 756 - 479: After Severe Cold Comes Scorching Heat! (4,800 words)_3

Chapter 756: Chapter 479: After Severe Cold Comes Scorching Heat! (4,800 words)_3

In his original world, intense heat was usually accompanied by heavy rain.

Plus, nationwide projects like the South-to-North Water Diversion ensured there wasn’t a lack of domestic water supply, so he didn’t have much of a concept of drought and thus didn’t notice it immediately.

But now...

Xu Xin slightly furrowed his brows.

This must be noted!

He immediately sent a message on the alliance channel.

"Everyone, be mindful of water storage. In this weather, a drought might occur."

"Drought?" Li Wenxi also noticed this issue, "Indeed, it’s easy to have a drought. But... surely the lake won’t dry up completely?"

She pointed to the lake that had a thick layer of ice just a few days ago.

"No matter what, it’s still wise to prepare in advance."

Xu Xin didn’t believe this lake would completely dry up, after all, he understood well how deep this lake was.

If it weren’t a freshwater lake, he might suspect it was connected to the sea.

But...

Others had treehouses mostly by the creek.

Judging by the rate of decline of this lake’s water level...

There’s a high chance the creek might dry up!

He immediately contacted several people on his side, asking them to take more water now.

Then, he and Li Wenxi teleported over to her treehouse’s location.

Flipping onto the wolf, he quickly found the nitre mining cave under Li Wenxi’s guidance.

The entrance to the mine was small, but it seemed it wasn’t dug out by her, rather a naturally formed entrance.

Inside the mine, a slight chill emanated outward.

"Oh!" Upon feeling the chill, Keke immediately jumped off Xu Xin’s shoulder and ran into the mine. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Silver King panted with its tongue out, eager to enter the cave quickly.

"That’s the exit we discovered during the dungeon exploration." Li Wenxi pointed in a direction, "When I came up from underground, I found this cave, curiously looked inside, and found the nitre."

"... You’re really lucky."

"Come in, let’s place the coordinates inside. There’s a suitable spot in there!"

Indeed, placing the coordinates inside would be safer.

No need to worry too much about the coordinates being destroyed.

Entering the mine, it suddenly opened up wide.

The mine entrance was small, but the interior was large.

Fortunately, this cave wasn’t deep, only thirty meters, and on the surrounding walls, marks of excavation were clearly visible.

"The whole area here is a nitre mine." Li Wenxi walked to the wall, took out a pickaxe, and casually struck it.

Then, she picked up a piece from the shattered rocks: "Look."

"It seems the nitre reserves here should be considerable." Xu Xin nodded.

He found a flat spot, placed the coordinates, activated them, and connected them with Li Wenxi’s coordinates.

"That’s it." He clapped the dust off his hands, "Let’s head back."

"Oh!" Keke, who had been wandering around the cave, climbed onto Xu Xin’s shoulder.

They both returned to Li Wenxi’s treehouse via the coordinates directly.

Li Wenxi immediately gathered everyone and teleported over for nitre mining.

Meanwhile, Xu Xin returned to his treehouse.

The air became a bit more sweltering.

The temperature kept rising.

Wearing steel armor, he felt drenched in sweat.

At this temperature, it’s truly unwise to stay outside for long!

Heatstroke is likely!

"Back so soon." Lou Fei’Er, about to return to her treehouse, saw Xu Xin and exclaimed in surprise, "We haven’t gotten much water yet."

She seemed unaffected, not even sweating.

For her with a mutant physique, this temperature was indeed nothing.

Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao were still fetching water at his treehouse’s pool.

These two also looked completely unchanged.

... Mutant physiques, they’re truly impressive.

Xu Xin sighed.

... Wait!

If this harsh heat has no effect on those with mutant physiques like Lou Fei’Er...

Then mutant creatures...!

Xu Xin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Mutant creatures should also be unaffected!

In other words, they might still be prone to attacks by large numbers of mutant creatures in this scorching environment!

He needed to be cautious about this too.

"The water in your pool is decreasing more and more, feels like it’ll be gone in half an hour." Zeng Tao, carrying a backpack, came over. She placed the fetched water in the backpack, "It’s not caused by us fetching water, the lake’s water level is also dropping fast."

"Try to take more water." It was too hot, Xu Xin didn’t want to talk much, "I’m heading up. If you need anything, come directly to the treehouse to find me."

"Oh..." Keke weakly squeaked, urging him to go up quickly.

"Oh, alright. Ah, you’re really hot, right! Hehe, it seems there are benefits to mutant physiques." Zeng Tao happily ran back to her treehouse.

This guy...

"I’m heading back too, Brother Xin." Ma Hongwei said, "The water I collected should last a month, no problems there."

He wore simple leather armor, not a bead of sweat on his forehead.

"Alright." Xu Xin nodded, unwilling to talk further.

He envied their physiques a bit.

Returning to the treehouse, a refreshing coolness enveloped him completely, instantly making him feel comfortable.

"Phew..." Exhaling deeply, he plopped onto the sofa.

Opening the world channel, he noticed that in other regions, the snow was almost completely melted under the intense sunlight.

Survivors in these regions began to lament.

Survivors worldwide noticed the sudden natural disaster.

... This harsh summer won’t be easy to endure.
