Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 834 - 505: Shi Wanyun’s Sacrifice Plan

But instead of retreating, Jin Yue stepped forward two more steps.

As she moved, the surrounding circle of insects became chaotic for a moment, and then expanded again.

"Oh?" Xu Xin raised an eyebrow, "It seems to work."

Jin Yue stepped lightly and leaped back easily, saying, "If you remain still, the insects will gradually approach, but just move around and it’s fine."

"Alright." Xu Xin nodded, "Then let’s set off."

Xu Xin took the lead, followed closely by Jin Yue and Lou Fei’Er.

"Um... it’s okay, it’s okay... These insects aren’t biting people or crawling into clothes now..." Zeng Tao followed while muttering.

Shi Wanyun was the last one to follow, silently observing Xu Xin and the other three women.

The group was quickly surrounded by the swarm of insects.

Luckily, as long as they kept walking within the swarm, the insects wouldn’t approach them.

Moreover, with their numbers, and each of them having applied insect repellent, the space where insects dared not approach was greatly expanded.

It was rather easy.

"Speed up, start running, don’t linger in the swarm too long, there might be problems." Xu Xin instructed the group, then quickened his pace and headed toward the Crystal Palace.

The others immediately followed.

The surrounding insect swarm became even more chaotic, but none dared to approach.

Shi Wanyun followed behind them, running while saying, "The swarm ahead is much denser, will there be issues?"

"No need to worry!" Lou Fei’Er said while running, taking out a spray from her backpack, "We still have spray-type insect repellent!"

"You have so many good things! Let me see!" Zeng Tao ran over trying to grab it.

"Little short arms trying to grab something from me?"

"You!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Shi Wanyun felt this scene looked somewhat heartwarming while she followed behind.

She had not experienced such joy with companions for a long time in this world.

The two people she previously encountered only treated her with respect. Those two also got involved in a similar predicament as her last experience, and both had died.

Seeing her current situation, the scene before her became a bit irritating too.

However, Xu Xin sure knew how to enjoy.

So many women, and they were all beauties. From her observation, all three of them regarded him as a very important person, unguarded, and prioritized his safety.

As the top survivor globally, this was considered normal.

There probably isn’t a woman in this world who doesn’t wish to rely on him.

Moreover, if he were such a person...

Shi Wanyun started to ponder carefully.

Offering herself might be the best approach currently?

If she became Xu Xin’s woman, she could stay by his side long-term, having opportunities for close contact.

Pushing previous choices back would also seem reasonable now.

After all, she wanted to observe this top survivor’s ability to confront them.

If he merely held fame without substance, establishing a relationship with him and gaining close proximity would make it easy for her to strike.

It works.

Her gaze towards Xu Xin softened a bit.

Previously, she considered whether to strike here.

Women around him were strong, his true strength unknown, and trying to kill him wouldn’t be easy.

For now, she wouldn’t need to consider this; naturally, she temporarily set aside her burden.

This method was more prudent.

She couldn’t choose too haphazardly.

After all...

Her choices concerned the lives of all survivors, including her own.

However, a small issue existed in the plan.

Shi Wanyun’s gaze slightly appeared puzzled.

It’s just... she had no experience in this area, utterly unsure of how to proceed.

But this was merely a small issue.

Even if lacking experience, relying on her appearance and charisma, considering the number of women around him, likely was not a gentleman, achieving it wouldn’t be difficult, she believed.

May not even require her initiative; the other party might come willingly.

Of course, she’s not a casual woman.

But...

Since arriving in this world, enduring so many life-and-death moments, frightening events, feelings toward male-female relationships already grew numb.

If it were her before, she wouldn’t allow a man surrounded by many women to touch her, but now...

This kind of thing was only considered by those from peaceful times; she really couldn’t care now.

In chaotic times, wanting an epic love story?

Just thinking about it is ridiculous.

Moreover, his appearance was so pleasing, improving her acceptance greatly.

Take it step by step, let’s see.

Hopefully, he wouldn’t disappoint her.

If possible, she truly did not desire to eliminate the greatest hope among all survivors.

The surrounding insects were extremely dense, forcing Xu Xin and Lou Fei’Er to clear a path with sprays.

"We’re there, ahead is it, let’s charge!" Zeng Tao shouted excitedly.

Despite densely packed insects obstructing the view, the brightness of the Crystal Palace remained dazzlingly prominent.

"Charge!" Xu Xin commanded, then ran forward at maximum speed.

The people behind him, including Shi Wanyun, kept up perfectly.

Their speeds were so fast that insects collided with them, yet none stopped, mouths tightly shut, they charged ahead resolutely!

Xu Xin was the first to burst through the swarm, followed closely by the four women one after another!

"Finally here!"

Everyone began patting off the insects from their bodies.

They were at the main hall of the Crystal Palace’s front entrance.

For some reason, even though insects swarmed around the Crystal Palace, none dared enter.

All hovered and buzzed at the entrance.

"These insects can’t get in?" Zeng Tao looked at the dense swarm outside, shuddered remembering how she emerged from it, turned away refusing to look anymore, wearing a face full of disgust, "So gross ahh!"

Xu Xin looked toward the interior of the Crystal Palace.

Similar to the outer architecture, at least this front hall was utterly empty.

But bright and gentle white radiance made this spacious hall appear grandiose.

The moment he stepped inside, his heart skipped a beat, an inexplicable feeling washed over him.

... What exactly is this place?
