Chapter 486 Feasibility
The night wind blew in from the north, carrying the dry scent unique to the wilderness.
Fu Xiaojian didn't get a reply from Shao Bing because the car radio suddenly went off.
"Captain Fu, something is coming from the north, it's moving very fast." It was the voice of a sausage vendor.
No one is better suited for long-range eavesdropping than the Listener.
To Xu Si's surprise, the tour guide flag showed that he was much closer to the convoy than he had imagined.
In addition, the speed of the Nirvana single-person fighter jet far exceeded that of the past, so Xu Si sensed the location of the convoy in less than half an hour of flight.
It felt as if he had just gone on a trip.
Before the convoy could fully react, a majestic fighter jet appeared overhead.
A perfectly vertical descent caused Fu Xiaojian's unlit cigarette to fall to the ground in shock; this was the second time this had happened.
He knew perfectly well who had come.
The canopy of Nirvana slowly rose, and Xu Si's figure leaped out of the cockpit, landing lightly on the ground.
The feeling of being grounded gave him more peace of mind than ever before.
The convoy, which had been ready for battle, fell silent for a moment before erupting into chaos.
If I had to say, it was much more lively than a raid on a camp.
Xu Si subconsciously searched for a certain figure, only to realize that she was actually in his folded space.
The first one to rush over was Ronaldinho.
He practically tumbled and crawled out of the off-road vehicle convoy, stumbling as he landed and hitting his knee on the gravel. But he ignored the pain and rushed toward Xu Si.
"Brother Dao! Brother Dao!" His voice was choked with sobs; he truly treated Xu Si as an older brother.
When Xu Si left, Xiao Luo had already handed over the [Star Whisper Throat], and now he has returned to being that warm little boy.
"Alright, alright! Why is it still Sequence 2? Have I been working hard while I was gone?" Xu Si patted the back of his head, diverting his attention.
"I'm working very hard, and I'll advance to the next level soon!" Xiao Luo said earnestly, stopping her tears.
He worked harder than most of the team members, but progressing along his path wasn't easy.
Not far away, Jiang Li and Hinata Aoi paused in their approaching steps, but did not go any closer.
However, smiles appeared on both of their faces one after another.
The second to approach were Dou Dou and her friends, and even the usually aloof Master Wei joined in.
The group of people knew better than anyone else how much Xu Si cared for them; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him family.
The sausage was still excitedly displaying its clay-like characteristics, and the effect was somewhat beyond Xu Si's expectations.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a child of the earth; its Sequence 1 form alone is as large as a tower, demonstrating its immense future potential.
Yao Yao peeked out from behind Wang Hu, still clutching half a compressed biscuit in her hand, her little face filled with disbelief.
She also wanted to run over, but Wang Hu held her head down.
He did want the girl to get closer to Xu Si, but the scene was just too strange.
What if they are currently in a vast illusion?
He didn't know whether he should believe the fact that Xu Si had returned, after all, it was a bit too unbelievable.
After all, everyone knows that Xu Si has gone to pursue a higher sequence, and generally speaking, he certainly won't be back in a short time.
But what is this now? He couldn't help but look at Fu Xiaojian, who was still stunned on the roof of the car, and Shao Bing, who was standing next to him dumbfounded.
"Some people really can't stand being nagged!" Fu Xiaojian didn't doubt that Xu Si was an imposter.
Perhaps someone can impersonate Xu Si, but no one can impersonate a second Nirvana that is gradually deforming behind him.
What he was curious about now was why Xu Si had suddenly returned without giving him any prior notice.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse." Fu Xiaojian finally snapped out of his shock, waving his hand to disperse the crowd. He had so many questions he wanted to ask.
The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, but their eyes still kept drifting in this direction.
However, when he actually faced Xu Si, he simply smiled and said, "Why are you resorting to sneak attacks now? Are you reluctant to leave us behind?"
He actually wanted to ask if Xu Si would appear and then leave again.
He feared that Xu Si's stay was only temporary.
So he could only test the waters with self-deprecating humor.
"Stop guessing, I came back because I discovered the feasibility of building a shelter!" Xu Si said.
If we truly cultivate the ancient tree into a world tree, we certainly cannot ignore it. The best solution is for the convoy to gradually establish a survival base around the world tree.
To survive while protecting.
This is the best arrangement he could make for the team.
As the World Tree grows and its influence expands, the population that the survival base can accommodate will certainly increase gradually.
If this continues, Earth may gradually return to its original state.
Other teams will also have a safe place to rest.
To truly embrace others.
The World Tree became the final patch to the Meilin Project.
This is also why Xu Si was in a hurry to come back.
"What did you say?" Fu Xiaojian's voice was a little tense.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind? You want to stay and guard the convoy?" Shao Bing came around from the other side of the Warriors, his expression equally fascinating.
In Shao Bing's mind, as long as Xu Si was willing to stay and garrison, establishing a survival base was a sure thing.
Xu Si ignored Shao Bing's teasing and instead started talking to them about the World Tree.
"The World Tree? You can grow crops on it?" Both of them were a little incredulous.
If what Xu Si said is true, then the population capacity of their survival base is quite considerable, and it may even become the last cradle of humanity.
"Are you confident?" This was a matter of great importance, and Fu Xiaojian had to be cautious; it was simply too crucial.
"About 90%!" Xu Si estimated conservatively, because Yi Yi had mentioned that the World Tree had many other uses, and could even become the will of Earth.
Xu Si doesn't know what this means, but it's definitely an aspect that can't be ignored, and it might even bring unexpected surprises.
After all, if Earth were conscious, it certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch the changes it has undergone.
"Are you serious?" Shao Bing couldn't help but become serious.
Being able to grow crops is something the convoy has always dreamed of, and it's also one of the major reasons limiting the establishment of a survival base.
If the World Tree existed, they couldn't imagine how happy they would be.
"An unprecedented level of seriousness!"
Fu Xiaojian's breathing quickened for a moment.
As the de facto manager of the team, he was under more pressure than anyone else.
They've made ample preparations; are they really going to make it happen?
Since the end times, humanity's greatest predicament has not been the bizarre or the unknown, but food.
Nothing can grow in those polluted soils.
The supplies the convoy relied on for survival were either pre-apocalyptic stockpiles salvaged from the ruins or war rations traded with other convoys.
But these are decreasing day by day.
One day, there will be nothing left to search for, and nothing left to replace.
At that time, even if humans are not killed by the supernatural, they will starve to death.
Although DouDou's "whirlpool cow" can produce food.
But while they can fill their stomachs temporarily, what about the other teams?
Will they starve to death silently in some unknown corner of the apocalypse?
