Chapter 563 The paradise in the tree house

Mature woman No. 5 handed a crystal ball to Shi Wanyun.

"This is..." Shi Wanyun looked at the crystal ball in his hand, which was about the size of a walnut and emitted white light, and said in surprise, "The core of the tree house?"

"Well... there are existences similar to the core of the tree house, and they contain a lot of energy." No. 5 explained, "This crystal ball was given to you by the owner, and it should contain the information you need for this mission. .”

"Information?" Shi Wanyun pinched the crystal ball in his hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked inside, "How do I see this?"

The crystal ball is translucent and hazy inside, so nothing can be seen.

It's like a miniature treehouse core.

"That's not how it looks." No. 5 smiled, "When the time is right, it will start automatically. Just pay attention."

"Automatically start..." Shi Wanyun said thoughtfully, "Does it project an image like a watch?"

"You will know then. It cannot be started now, maybe because I am by your side." No. 5 looked at the crystal ball and said, "The master may just want you to see the message content."

"I understand." Shi Wanyun did not put away the crystal ball, but held it in his hand, "Then I will..."

"I'll send you away, come with me."

Shi Wanyun followed her, and after walking a short distance in the corridor, No. 5 opened a door.

The scene behind the door made Shi Wanyun's eyes slowly widen.

What did she see?

Ponds, running water, bamboo forests, courtyards, and sea of ​​flowers.

There are also very Chinese-style pavilions.

There are even crisp sounds of birdsong from time to time.

Different from the dim corridor she had just walked along, the sun was shining brightly here. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she felt the warmth of the sun shining on her body.

"This..."

Shi Wanyun immediately looked back at the door she walked through.

That door is still there.

It's just that the door is covered with wall-climbing green plants, as if the door is hidden in such a cave.

"We...were transported to another place?" She asked in surprise, "Is this door a portal?"

"Portal? Haha, of course not." No. 5 smiled and shook his head, "We didn't go anywhere, we just passed a door. This is still in the World Tree. Welcome to the place where I live."< br>

"Where... do you live?" Shi Wanyun's red lips parted slightly, amazed by everything in front of her.

She has seen too many strange things here.

Along the way, she also saw many unusual situations, but she didn't react to them because she was already a little numb to them. She thought that except for the monster appearing again, nothing could surprise her anymore. .

But it seems that she thinks highly of herself.

Once she arrived, she just couldn't keep her composure.

She never thought that there would be such a surprising area in the tree house of this world tree.

This was even more shocking to her than the space above the elevator!

Who would have thought that in this world tree, in this giant tree house, there is actually a...

garden?

A paradise?

No. 5 looked at her expression with interest: "Surprised?"

"...Well, I'm very surprised." Shi Wanyun took a few steps forward and looked around, "Aren't we in a tree now? In the tree, there is such a world..."

The stream was less than ten meters in front of her. She stepped forward and looked down.

The stream is clear and flows slowly, and there are even fish swimming in the water.

The ground is no longer a wooden floor, but soft soil.

Looking up, she realized that although this area was indoors, it was also surprisingly high, nearly twenty meters high, about six stories high!

What surprised her the most was that the ceiling above was not the same wooden ceiling as in other areas, but was made up of rounded stones.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a cobblestone road in a park.

Unlike cobblestones, these stones are relatively large, each about the size of a football.

And the most important thing is that these are not ordinary stones.

Instead, it is a crystal stone that emits a bright white light!

It's as if the cores of huge tree houses have been pieced together to form this ceiling like a work of art.

This paradise-like area does not have any windows, and no light from the outside comes in. Despite this, it is still as bright as early morning daylight.

As soon as she entered here, she felt as if the sun was shining on her body, which was very warm.

So... it's not the sun that warms her, but the crystal white light emitted by these... oversized cores?

"Don't underestimate this world tree." No. 5 came up behind him, "The highest point of this world tree is three hundred meters, and its crown stretches for two kilometers. The actual usable area is very huge."

Calculating it this way...

“So big!”

With a radius of two kilometers, the area is more than 12 square kilometers, nearly 20,000 acres of land!

Not to mention the tree house's innate and unparalleled space utilization. The height of 300 meters can be used freely. Unlike the outside world, high-rise buildings must be built to barely use a little high-altitude space.

This place is almost as large as a city!

Is it not a problem for millions of people to live in this World Tree?

When she saw this giant tree outside, she was just a little shocked, but she didn't expect this...

"So, my place looks very big, but it actually doesn't occupy much space of the whole tree." No. 5 smiled, "Of course, there are only a few people who have such a garden. After all, this tree Most of the area is not used for living, but has other uses.”

Shi Wanyun's eyes moved.

It means there are other uses...it refers to those genetic experiments, right?

"But even so, there is still plenty of remaining space here. A small part is still empty and has not been used." No. 5 walked forward along the stream, with Shi Wanyun following behind her.

"You are really strong if you can use most of this tree..." Shi Wanyun sighed.

No. 5 looked at her: "I mean, after you complete this mission and come back, you can have a living area like this here."

Shi Wanyun was silent for a moment and said: "Am I the only one? Wouldn't that be a bit lonely..."

"Of course not." No. 5 pointed to the pavilions ahead, "Many people can live there. As long as they are here, I can let them live here at any time. It's just that I personally like peace and quiet."

"You can let others come in..."

"Of course, and I also said that except for setting some rules that cannot be violated, the master almost never interferes in our affairs. So..."

No. 5 smiled slightly: "If there is someone you care about, even if he does not meet our requirements here, you can still bring him in."

"Can we bring other survivors in? Can we bring it in at any time?" Shi Wanyun immediately turned to look at No. 5.

"As long as you have my status, of course you can." No. 5's voice was seductive. "You group of survivors are still in dire straits for survival, right? If you have people you are worried about, you can naturally The other party takes it, and in this way, he ends his survival in advance, and there will be no more danger.”

"...Wouldn't this kind of thing violate the regulations?" Shi Wanyun asked.

"Of course not. But...since they are not selected, they cannot participate in our genetic modification plan, and they cannot have a long lifespan and strong physical abilities like us."

"…wait a minute, them? Can I bring a lot of people?"

"Natural, but not too many." No. 5 thought for a moment and said, "Five or six people should be fine, maybe seven or eight at most."

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Shi Wanyun felt that his heart had begun to waver crazily.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

She now feels that being able to live in a place like this, away from crises, seems to be... a very, very attractive thing.

The people she brings here don't need to participate in the genetic modification project or become that kind of monster.

And No. 5 also told her that they also have genetic mutations that prevent them from turning into monsters. Just like No. 5 herself, they are no different from ordinary people, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

Although she had an extremely negative attitude towards the monster she had seen before, she felt disgust and fear from the bottom of her heart, but...

It has to be said that the other party didn't seem to do anything to hurt her.

And No. 5 also said that it only appeared once or twice in more than ten years, and it usually didn't have any impact at all.

Although she has some doubts about the purpose of this genetic project, it only provides a stable and luxurious residence in this crisis-ridden world, and gives her hope of returning to her original world...

She was already looking forward to this!

But...

Her mission was to kill Xu Xin, the strongest among the survivors, the one who had the most hope of leading most of the survivors to survive.

Also her savior.

...What should she do...

At this time, No. 5 had brought Shi Wanyun to the gate of the courtyard and asked her: "Go in and sit down?"

"Yeah." Shi Wanyun nodded.

The two walked into the courtyard.

It was not the complicated Chinese-style courtyard that Shi Wanyun imagined.

As soon as you enter, there is a small courtyard.

Rockeries, pools, pavilions, everything.

"Go sit in the pavilion." Perhaps because of some privacy, No. 5 did not invite her into the building, but looked at the pavilion in the middle of the small lake in the courtyard and said.

"Okay."

The two of them walked into the pavilion and sat down.

Sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by a pool covered with lotus leaves and a few blooming lotus flowers.

It would be more comfortable if there was a few more breezes, but unfortunately there is no wind here.

"Are those luminous stones above replacing sunlight, so these plants can still grow like this?" Shi Wanyun pointed to the lotus blooming on the water.

"Part of it."

No. 5 took out a tea set from somewhere, made a pot of tea, and poured two cups.

"Plants can indeed grow by relying on the light of energy stones, but in this world tree, they actually rely on the energy of the world tree to grow enough. Those energy stones can only make them grow faster. There are more energy stones The function is still lighting.”

Are these crystals called energy stones? So these are just for lighting?

She looked at the flat, almost seamless pieces of crystal stone above.

All of them are emitting bright and soft white light.

...I always feel like this woman is doing something very luxurious.

"You wonder what these are?"

"Want to know."

She naturally wanted to know how similar this thing was to the core of the treehouse.

"I can't tell you yet." No. 5 picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

"The master said that when you come back from this mission, you will be at the same level as me. Then I will tell you everything I know. You are not qualified to know these secrets now."

Shi Wanyun nodded.

That's right, No. 5 can tell her so much information now, which is already very friendly to her.

"So, what should I do now?"

"Before tonight, I will send you to where you belong."

"The place I should go is...send me back?"

No. 5 shook his head: "I don't know, I'm only responsible for activating the transmission device."

A transmission device...

Shi Wanyun was not surprised.

It's strange that there is no teleportation device here.

"So, you can stay here until night, and the time to leave is up to you."

"Then... let's do it tonight." Shi Wanyun thought for a while and said softly, "I want to know more about it here."

If she went back now, she would be very confused.

Although the life of a survivor in exchange for her future is nothing, and it’s not like she has never killed anyone in this world, but...

She was still a bit incapable of being ungrateful.

Unless it's very attractive.

She wanted to see it again.

"Okay."

……

This was when Xu Xin's mind went dark.

He opened his eyes and found that Shi Wanyun was too tired to keep his eyes open.

"I...so tired." Shi Wanyun said tiredly, "mentally tired."

"Aren't you tired?"

"Well...it turns out that sharing memories with others is so tiring..."

Shi Wanyun couldn't open his eyes and leaned sideways on the back of the sofa, as if he was about to fall asleep.

But Xu Xin didn't want her to sleep, so he threw an orange to her.

"Replenish your energy, I want to know the follow-up."

Shi Wanyun looked at the orange thrown at her, her eyes a little resentful for a moment: "...I know."

Then she began to peel the orange slowly.

Xu Xin took the opportunity to think about what just happened.

The story just now contains a lot of information.

What he cared about most was the pocket watch photo of him that Shi Wanyun received.

"Do you still have that photo of me?"

"Yes, but..." Shi Wanyun chewed the orange and slurred a little, "Now it's no longer in my hands, it's in my tree house."

Xu Xin nodded.

Indeed, he didn't find any pocket watch in Shi Wanyun's backpack.

But...

The image of him on the pocket watch should undoubtedly be that of Xu Xin.

And knowing that the image of Xu Xin, who still has blood streaks, exists, it is only possible that he existed in the collapsed world.

The alien invasion of that world came together with Xu Xin and the others!

Back then, Xu Xin's team spent hundreds of years building a time machine. After transporting people from the future back to the past, the entire world fell into a state of time and space chaos.

According to Xu Xin, who was photographed at the time, this kind of chaos has been noticed by most people and has very obviously affected people's lives.

In this case, the alien invaders in that time and space should also be able to detect the chaos of time and space.

Of course, the chaos in time and space was caused by Xu Xin's organization. Even if the alien invaders were aware of it, they would definitely not be able to find the cause of the chaos in time and space in a short time.

Therefore, the members of the organization who returned to the past generally believed that the only ones who escaped from the collapsed future to the past were members of their organization.

But...

Is this really the case?

Alien invaders have a technological level that far exceeds that of humans on earth. If a human team can build a time machine, can they not build it? (End of chapter)
