Fortunately, he had cut down the surrounding trees, so even if the forest fire came over, it would not be able to burn him. However, considering that the smoke might enter the tree house, he still installed glass windows on all the windows, and

All the windows on the upper and lower floors were sealed.

The thunderstorm outside continued, and Xu Xin couldn't stand the thunder and the thunder that kept exploding on the top of the treetops. Finally, she balled cotton into a ball and stuffed it into her ears, which made her feel better.

.

There was no fire in the area around the tree house because the lightning rod attracted all the surrounding lightning. However, places farther away from the tree house were not so lucky.

Looking out the window, forest fires were burning in all directions, and the forest fires spread from almost everywhere, slowly surrounding the tree house.

But Xu Xin didn't panic. He had already done everything he needed to do, so there was no need to panic. Even if something really happened, it would be useless to panic.

Because the window was not closed just now, the heat wave from outside blew in, making the room very stuffy now. He brought a basin of water and threw the saltpeter into it, and the temperature in the room instantly became comfortable.

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Xin breathed a long sigh of relief.

Coco was currently on the sofa, covering her ears and burying her head, her big tail behind her swaying non-stop.

It was frightened by the thunder at first, but now it doesn't, but it is still unbearable by the huge noise that occurs every ten seconds.

Xu Xin rubbed two more cotton balls and stuffed them into Coco's ears before she raised her head from the sofa, but she still looked a little listless.

Silver King and Mimi were lying in the living room quite nonchalantly. They seemed to be able to withstand noise very well. Mimi even yawned, squinted her eyes and began to rest.

Under the influence of these two guys, Xu Xin was not so irritable anymore. He had been chopping down trees for so long and his stomach was growling. He planned to have a hearty breakfast.

He took out the meat of the wild boar that King Yin and Mimi had hunted yesterday and gave it to them. He also called out the bats in his bracelets to eat with them. He went to fry a dish of mutated lotus root pork and paired it with fresh fruits.

, had a hearty breakfast amidst the thunder.

The slight warmth flowing in his body made him clenched his fists. If he kept eating this kind of mutated beast meat, the longer the time went by, the more obvious the gap between others and him would become.

After eating the last segment of the orange in his hand, he suddenly thought that today was the fourth day since he planted strawberries, and his blue strawberries should be ripe.

So, he came to the plantation on the top floor of the tree roof.

As soon as she came up, Xu Xin was dazzled by the light emitted by the lightning rod. The lightning rod was like a high beam that emitted white light in all directions, emitting a dazzling light.

And Xu Xin felt that the light even had a hint of heat, just like sunlight. Perhaps because there was too much stored electrical energy, it could no longer be stored, so it was automatically converted into heat energy and light energy and released.

Wait, isn't this lightning rod equivalent to a fill light in a greenhouse?

In this way, even if it is a cloudy day with dark clouds and no sun, the plants in his top-floor plantation can still photosynthesize and grow normally.

Even if it stays on like this, the plants can continue to grow at night, and I'm afraid the maturation time will be further shortened.

This really meets the top-level needs.

However, there are also disadvantages. It may be useless when there are no mines.

And if the lightning rod is so bright at night, his tree house will attract the attention of surrounding beasts and mosquitoes like a big light bulb, and may even be seen by other survivors not far away. This is not a good thing.

matter.

Forget it, just take it one step at a time, at least it will be a good thing for him for now.

Xu Xin walked to the large flowerpot where strawberries were planted.

The five strawberries in the flowerpot have all produced fruit. Fruits as big as eggs are hanging on the strawberry vines. Each one is bright red, like red agate, which makes people very appetizing.

Gu Hao

Each strawberry plant bears seven fruits, and a total of 35 strawberries (blue) were harvested from this piece of soil.

Xu Xin picked a big strawberry and looked at it in the palm of her hand.

[Strawberry (blue): A fruit that can be eaten directly, the taste is very sweet, and you will feel happy when you bite it. After eating it, you can eliminate the negative mental state and keep your mood at its best within an hour! 】

This introduction made Xu Xin frown. What effect is this, happy fruit? Why does it feel like something used to smoke?

He wiped the strawberries in his hands and took a bite without washing them. He grew them himself and didn't spray any pesticides, so they were very clean.

A sweetness bloomed in the mouth. This blue-grade strawberry was indeed much sweeter than the green-grade strawberries I had eaten before.

Xu Xin ate the whole strawberry and licked his lips. Not only the tips of the strawberries were sweet, but the buttocks were also sweet, which made the corners of his mouth curl up into a smile.

The moment he ate it, his agitated mood due to the thunderstorm calmed down, and his head instantly became clear.

This feeling is different from the restorative effect of oranges, which restore mental strength and make the brain that has been working no longer tired. But Xu Xin had just gotten up and was not mentally exhausted at all, but was a little irritated by the noise.

Being full of energy does not mean that your emotions are positive, nor does it mean that you can make correct judgments.

He instantly understood the true role of strawberry (blue).

I think when he first met the piranha, even though he had already eaten oranges (blue) that kept his mental power at its best, he was still affected by the pollen, causing him to do some imprudent things that he would not normally do.

.Also, in the passage of the underground city, the cries of the bats gave him a splitting headache, and it took him a long time to recover.

And this kind of fruit can give Xu Xin a clear mind and stable emotions in that situation.

nice one!

Xu Xin picked all the strawberries and pocketed them.

"Hey!" Coco came up behind Xu Xin. When Xu Xin picked the first blue-level strawberry, he was attracted by this new blue-level fruit and saw him collecting all the fruits.

, suddenly grabbed Xu Xin's trouser legs and screamed.

I really haven’t given the little guy a blue-level fruit today.

Xu Xin took out a strawberry and stuffed it into Coco's hand. The strawberry was as big as an egg. Coco held the strawberry contentedly and sat on the floor to nibble on it.

The thunder outside the window was still ringing, but it no longer made him feel irritated. He even felt that the rhythm of the thunder was somewhat dynamic. This made him admire the efficacy of blue-grade strawberries.

Happy fruit that lasts for an hour!

Speaking of which, the effect of strawberry is really a bit like something... It shouldn't be addictive, right?

Back on the third floor, Xu Xin washed some fruits, moved a chair and sat by the window, hugging Coco, eating fruits and looking out the window.

The sea of ​​​​fire had spread and was very close to the tree house. The billowing smoke obscured most of his sight, making it almost impossible for him to see anything.

But fortunately, the glass windows isolate the smoke from the outside of the tree house. The outer wall of the tree house has the effect of heat insulation. In addition, there is a "powerful air conditioner" inside with blue grade saltpeter. The entire inside of the tree house is not affected in any way. The windows

Outside the inner window, there is simply a gap between heaven and hell.

It's not long until nine o'clock, and today's activities should start soon.
Chapter completed!
