This is a big deal!
"Um..." Lou FeiâEr tugged at his arm beside him, "Whereâs Wenxi? My watch is still with her."
"...Your watch is with me." Xu Xin returned her watch to her, and then his own watch started vibrating again.
"Huh? Oh..." Seeing Xu Xin was busy, Lou FeiâEr didnât ask further, took the watch, and walked away.
Meanwhile, Xu Xinâs watch was buzzing like crazy with messages from the [Explorer] group.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "The communication is open!"
Wang Lei: "What the hell, whatâs going on everyone? What happened? How did such a big event suddenly occur?"
Ji Chaoyang: "Everyone, this must have been triggered by something Xu Xin experienced. We need to set up defenses around our treehouse areas and then head over to Xu Xinâs place. He will explain it to us."
Wang Lei: "Wow, itâs really Brother Xin! What exactly did Brother Xin do? This is incredible! Are we turning against the whole world?"
Wen Guixin: "Why panic? Do they have the guts to come here and attack us? Even if they come over, theyâd just be handing themselves over to us."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Jeez, the world channel is in chaos right now! Haha, a lot of people are defecting to our side! They say theyâll switch sides the moment they see us, itâs killing me!"
Qin Yunlong: "This early morning, and Iâm already wide awake. Iâll take some people back to the treehouse to handle things and be over there soon!"
Xu Xin immediately said in the Explorer group, "Guys, I just got back to the treehouse and still have some things to deal with. How about you come over in half an hour."
Wang Lei: "Got it, Brother Xin!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Then I donât need to rush!"
Wen Guixin: "No biggie, you handle your stuff first, weâre not in that much of a hurry."
The Explorers didnât seem panicked at all.
Itâs normal, after all, itâs a show of confidence.
In the eyes of the Explorers, no other regions combined could possibly be their match.
Just in terms of equipment, the gap is insurmountable.
Other survivors are still in the age of cold weapons; an iron crossbow bolt is considered advanced equipment. But the Explorers can directly use heavy crossbows to take down giant beasts!
This gap cannot simply be countered by numbers.
Xu Xin had the same thought. If thatâs the case, maybe they really donât need to worry about anything.
But they couldnât just relax either.
The premise for not having to worry is that they remain this weak.
If that mysterious voice thatâs turned the table gives extra help to other regions, then things could get problematic.
Xu Xin began to ponder.
It seems like the events on his side have been detected by those alien invaders whoâve been rooted on Earth for thousands of years, which is why theyâre taking such actions.
But... it seems they canât directly punish him.
Even before, they only manipulated the environment through various activities to affect them.
And now, although they noticed something unusual on Xu Xinâs side, theyâre still resorting to regional confrontation and internal strife, causing the survivors to fight among themselves to deplete their numbers.
Why?
With their level of technology, killing the survivors should be easy, right?
Is it because theyâre arrogant and disdain to make a move?
Or is there some limitation that forces them to do so?
...Whatever the reason, for now, his situation is temporarily safe.
He glanced at the world channel again.
Sure enough, just like Zhao Xiaochuan said, the world channel is in chaos now.
"Whatâs going on, did you figure it out?"
"What? Our region lost half its people from the heat. Just when we barely survived this hot spell, they tell us to go against area 188? Are they crazy?"
"I donât want to be enemies with area 188! Without 188âs help, I wouldnât have survived until now..."
"Damn it, without 188âs help, relying only on our area, I might not even survive in the future!"
"Seriously? Did area 188 help us too much, and that creepy voice couldnât stand it?"
"Screw it, thatâs possible. Is this system crazy? Not allowing mutual help?"
"I want to survive, so everyone, letâs resist area 188 together!"
"Down with area 188! We canât let them keep hogging the best resources!"
"Whether 188 helped us before or not, now itâs a life-or-death situation, we have no choice but to act!"
"Act? How are you going to act? Follow the internet cables over to take down Xu Xin?"
"Hilarious, if I could find the location of area 188, Iâd switch sides in an instant; whoâs going against the big shots of area 188!"
"The temperature finally dropped! Iâm comfortable now! So, did area 188 end this heatwave and save us?"
"Yeah, move your treehouse to area 188, and arenât you one of them then?"
"Anyone originally from area 187 or 189 want to share what itâs like? Are those who switched sides no longer having to fight? If so, letâs all join area 188!"
Seeing these messages, Xu Xin couldnât help but want to laugh.
The idea of that mysterious voice using other survivors to besiege area 188 doesnât seem to be working out.
