The sky was about to get dark, and Xu Xin quickly returned to the vicinity of his treehouse.
He planted the newly brought-back [Parasite Treehouse Seeds] at the outermost edge of his "backyard," opposite the previous location of [Parasite Treehouse 01], planting it on the other side.
He hadn't given it much thought; he just felt that having symmetry was more comfortable.
Taking advantage of the fact that this parasite treehouse hadn't fully grown yet, Xu Xin sent a voice message to Ji Chaoyang. He wanted to analyze today's information with Ji Chaoyang and then consider whether to share their deductions with other explorers.
The call connected quickly.
"I encountered people from other zones." Xu Xin started bluntly.
"...Oh?" Ji Chaoyang's voice on the other side became serious. "Which zone are they from?"
"Pretty much as you guessed, Jungle Zone 187."
"...Neighboring zone, huh? That's good."
