Moreover, the World Tree itself is also a gigantic treehouse. Once the World Tree has matured, whether parasitic treehouses are needed is irrelevant.

Now, after survivors in Area 188 have dismantled their treehouses, they no longer hear the message "quickly find a treehouse, otherwise leave this beautiful world."

This means that, in fact, within this region affected by the World Tree in Area 188, there’s no longer a concern about losing one’s treehouse causing issues.

Personal treehouses and the like are no longer necessities.

Because they already have an ultra-large treehouse.

"Lou Fei’er and Jin Yue still don’t know your ability?"

"No, communicating with you now is behind their backs. They’re currently handling matters with Area 1’s survivors; nearly ten survivors have come to our side, and we should be able to go over tonight."

"Alright, then come directly. Does Ji Chaoyang know about this?"

"Of course he does. Cheng Jun’an has been in contact with Ji Chaoyang; once he agreed, he immediately reached out over there."

"Mhm, leave it to him then."

The matters on Area 1’s side have always been handled by Ji Chaoyang, so Xu Xin doesn’t intervene.

"We have opened up the transfer today; you can come over anytime. If you want to come, it’s best to come tonight." He glanced at the sky outside.

The sun had fully set.

It was dark.

"Alright, ordinary survivors from Area 1 will be prioritized for transfer; Cheng Jun’an won’t go for now, as he needs to guide the incoming Area 1 survivors here."

"Mhm, I know."

Ending the call, for safety’s sake, Xu Xin decided to contact Ji Chaoyang.

The other party had indeed received the message through Cheng Jun’an.

"Leave it to you then."

"Okay."

Ending the call, Xu Xin glanced at the time.

The sun had set, but the day was far from over.

Currently, it was just past seven in the evening.

Then he went to find Ma Hongwei.

Zeng Tao was still in Ma Hongwei’s treehouse at that time.

"Xu Xin! Xu Xin!"

Seeing Xu Xin arrive, Zeng Tao immediately rushed over.

Xu Xin didn’t dare let her tackle him, quickly sidestepping.

Zeng Tao missed her target, but turned around excitedly and pulled him inside: "Come quickly and see what I’ve made!"

"Wha..." Xu Xin was pulled along by Zeng Tao, glancing at the weary yet slightly gratified Ma Hongwei, "You made it?"

"Made it..." Ma Hongwei felt as if he was drained, "Just managed to make it."

Zeng Tao dragged him into Ma Hongwei’s production room, and upon entering, Xu Xin saw a cannon larger than a person lying on the floor.

Moreover, it had handles for carrying. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But given its size and material...

I’m afraid ordinary people couldn’t move it an inch, let alone lift it.

"Ta-da! Impressive, right! I made it! A handheld cannon!" Zeng Tao immediately placed her hands on her hips, pointing at the cannon on the floor.

Xu Xin reached out to touch the cannon.

[Stone Heavy Cannon (Blue): A handheld heavy cannon, internally equipped with a gunpowder slot; once filled, it can be fired twice, with immense power. However, due to its weight and recoil, only a superhuman can use it.]

An immensely powerful heavy cannon!

Xu Xin tried to lift it, but...it was challenging.

While he could lift it, using it fluently was impossible.

"You’re so weak!" Zeng Tao immediately grabbed the handles on the barrel with both hands and easily moved it.

The massive barrel was effortlessly lifted by her!

Then, with a raise, she hoisted the cannon, at least weighing a ton and two meters long, onto her seemingly fragile shoulder.

Yet she showed no signs of strain, proudly saying: "How about it, isn’t it super strong! Boom!"

A small figure carrying a big cannon.

The dark barrel was aimed right at Xu Xin.

A loli with a big cannon, the scene, though a bit incongruous, undeniably...

A good combination.

"Nicely done, haven’t tested the power yet?" Xu Xin asked.

"No. This is just a test cannon; the real one still needs structural and power upgrades, using metals like purple-grade steel or meteorite ore." Ma Hongwei tiredly remarked, "But the current version isn’t unusable either. I have no energy right now, Brother Xin, you spend time with her, I want to rest."

Tutoring Zeng Tao left Ma Hongwei mentally exhausted; now all he wants is a break.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s try it outside!" Zeng Tao carried the cannon with one hand, pulling Xu Xin’s arm with the other, pleading, "I researched all day to make this!"

"I think it was me doing the research..." Ma Hongwei rolled his eyes.

Xu Xin was genuinely intrigued by the cannon.

Only needing gunpowder to fire, no need to consume metal or other materials to create ammunition.

Its significance is enormous.

Could only wonder about its power under such circumstances.

"Alright, let’s go try it."
