Chapter 564 Even Xu Xin is greedy
Xu Xin suddenly felt that the whole thing had become extremely complicated, far beyond his previous imagination.
He thought that the information obtained in the Crystal Palace was already the truth.
But now it seems...
There's more to it than that.
In fact, the fact that there are so many human beings sent from the past to the future to participate in this somewhat strange survivor plan already explains one thing.
At least now, in this world thousands of years later, alien invaders definitely have the ability to travel through time.
But when did they begin to possess this ability? Did they possess this ability before they invaded the earth, or was it developed during the millennium of development?
Thinking of the man with blood tattoos on his face that he just saw in Shi Wanyun's memory, Xu Xin already had his own thoughts in mind.
At least in that time and space, three hundred years after the invasion, the alien invaders could time travel.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to see that photo in this time and space.
If you think more boldly, then...
These alien invaders may have already reached the point where they can control time and space.
Before they invaded the earth, they had the ability to travel through time.
It just may not be used generally, and even if it is used, it is highly confidential. After all, the ability to travel through time and space is a double-edged sword. Once something goes wrong, it will cause time and space to collapse.
Therefore, the enslaved humans at that time did not know that the other party had this ability.
They studied hard and finally developed a way to travel through time and space by relying on the technology given to them by the alien invaders.
But as humans who are exposed to time travel for the first time, they know very little about time travel and are unaware of its taboos.
And in this case, they had very serious consequences.
The future direction of the world has changed drastically, and the time and space they live in is also facing collapse.
The collapse of time and space is very obvious, and the speed of time and space distance will be distorted. Those alien invaders must have noticed this.
These alien invaders who have long had the ability to travel through time and space are familiar with this phenomenon and the reasons for this chaos in time and space. They know that someone has traveled through time and space and excessively affected the past, causing the future they live in to collapse!
Knowing what caused the crisis, they took appropriate countermeasures.
This countermeasure is most likely the same as the countermeasure used by Xu Xin’s imaging team at that time.
Go back in time.
They cannot let everyone disappear with the collapse of time and space. They need to let some people go back to the past to find the truth about the turbulence of time and space.
Their mission is not to let them in another time and space, the invaders in another time and space, repeat the same mistakes.
"The same people cannot exist in the same time and space..."
Xu Xin thought to herself.
"So...are the individuals they returned to the past all young individuals of the new generation...or, like here, they sent away their past selves in time and space and returned to the past."
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a scary idea in his mind.
Now he knows that the image of Xu Xin and himself are basically two different people.
What he does will not affect the other party, and the other party will not affect him.
And the alien invaders probably know this kind of thing too.
Since they are different individuals, if they do not affect each other...
Wouldn't it be better to kill the self in this world and replace it?
This is the easiest way.
Methods like sending it to the future are too troublesome.
Image Xu Xin and his team did this because they didn't know whether their past selves in this time and space would affect them. Moreover, they were also preparing to take back the world in the future.
But alien invaders don't need to be so troublesome.
They only need to send individuals of the new generation back to the past, kill themselves without others knowing, and then directly replace them.
As for whether they do not exist in this time and space, will they cause rejection in the world and dissipate...
Didn't Yingying also dissipate, and even persisted until a thousand years later?
They...maybe have a special way to allow them, who do not belong to this time and space, to survive in this world.
If that's the case...
Of the alien invader groups currently living in the other hemisphere of the earth, perhaps, a small portion are...
Intruders from that collapsed space and time!
And the one Shi Wanyun saw might be one of them!
Because it has a photo of Xu Xin with blood streaks in its hand!
Moreover, its muttering was also heard by Xu Xin.
[Oh, there should be no blood lines on his face now, right? 】
This obviously means that it has seen Xu Xin before, and Xu Xin who still had blood lines on his face at that time.
It... obviously, like the image Xu Xin and Yingying who took Wen Xi away, came from the collapsed time and space!
Xu Xin rubbed the center of his brows with some annoyance.
It feels like...things are getting really difficult.
"The more you understand...the harder it becomes." He sighed softly.
"...Can you explain, what do you mean by going back to the past?" Shi Wanyun suddenly spoke.
Xu Xin's self-talk just now caused a huge stir in her heart.
Go back to the past, the past time and space...
She stared at Xu Xin's eyes, waiting for his answer.
Xu Xin looked at her.
He felt that he could trust the person in front of him now.
The truth he knew could indeed be told to her.
But before that...
"Are you well rested?" he asked.
"Okay, I'm full of energy." Shi Wanyun nodded.
"Show me what's next, and I will tell you the truth as I know it."
"Okay."
Shi Wanyun immediately stuck up.
……
Shi Wanyun visited many places in the residential area of No. 5.
Except for her pavilion, which was not allowed to enter, she visited all other places.
She found the source of the water.
It is the outermost edge of this area and gushes out from the wall like a fountain.
"Although the space of World Tree is not small, my place can be considered as the core area." No. 5 has been following her, taking her to walk in this garden, and at this time, she is gently patting the entire garden with her hands. The boundary wall of the area, "Do you know where this is?"
"The core area...could it be the trunk of the World Tree?" Shi Wanyun guessed.
"That's right." No. 5 smiled, "This is the trunk of the World Tree, the heart of the entire World Tree."
"...No wonder there is water flowing."
"Well, this water flow is not artificial water, but water drawn by World Tree." No. 5 leaned over and picked up a handful of slightly cold water, "This water is not ordinary water, but water filtered by World Tree , the water quality is very clean, and it also contains the ability to gradually change the body. ”
As she spoke, she brought the water to her mouth and drank.
Then he raised his head, waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "This water alone has the ability to eliminate fatigue and prolong life."
"Is he that strong?" Shi Wanyun was slightly disbelieving.
"You can try it."
Shi Wanyun also squatted down, picked up a handful of water, and took a sip.
It was very sweet. Even though she was not very thirsty now, the taste of the water still made her eyes light up.
At this time, the introduction also appeared in her mind.
[World Tree Spring Water (Purple): Spring water that can be drank directly. After being filtered and blessed by the World Tree, the quality of the water has undergone earth-shaking changes. It contains part of the energy of the World Tree. Drinking it can eliminate physical and mental fatigue and prolong life. 】
"Purple water?"
This really shocked her.
"Purple level...? Ah, it's the ability of a survivor, right?"
No. 5 was a little confused at first, but then said with relief: "I remembered, I could also see the grades of some props back then. It was almost fifty years ago, and I have forgotten a lot."
Shi Wanyun glanced at her in surprise: "You can't see the grade and introduction of items now?"
"Of course." No. 5 responded with a chuckle, "This is an ability that you only have during that survival selection. After the selection, the ability disappears. Speaking of which, I was a little unaccustomed to it back then."< br>
"Is that so...will my ability disappear in the future?" Shi Wanyun's eyes moved slightly.
She wanted to ask No. 5 if she had any special abilities and whether her special abilities had disappeared.
But the words came to his lips but were not spoken.
Although her special ability is not a combat ability, it can be regarded as a trump card. If you ask this question, it is equivalent to telling the other party that she has special abilities.
Moreover, since the other party has never asked about special abilities, he probably doesn't know.
Speaking of which, among the fifth batch of survivors, those with special abilities are also rare.
"It will definitely happen." No. 5 led Shi Wanyun as they walked along the water. "Our first four batches of survivors were all like this, and the fifth batch should be no exception."
"... You should also have a tree house for each person at that time, right? Your tree house later..."
"No more." No. 5 said, "There is an area specifically for us to live in, and there is also the World Tree."
She looked around and said, "Do you still need your little tree house?"
Indeed...
The area she owns is more than enough to plant a hundred and eighty tree houses.
Shi Wanyun's heart became more entangled.
She really... really wants to own such an area...
But the prerequisite for having such a paradise of one's own is to kill Xu Xin.
"Okay, it's almost time. It's time to send you to where you should go."
"...Well, okay."
Although he was not ready yet, Shi Wanyun could only walk behind No. 5.
The direction she was walking was towards the attic that she had never entered.
Looking at the scenery around her, she slowly let go of her worries.
Until then...let's think about it again.
The monster also said that her mission was to kill Xu Xin, but if she failed to complete the mission, she would need to lurk around him to seek opportunities.
At that time, it depends on the situation...
……
"Are you already interested in murdering me at this time?"
Xu Xin suddenly asked.
He opened his eyes.
The two of them still had their foreheads touching each other. Shi Wanyun did not close his eyes, but stared at him in a daze.
Seeing Xu Xin open her eyes, she immediately looked away: "You are my savior, I..."
Xu Xin laughed: "I don't believe it. Even I am very greedy for that place, let alone you."
Shi Wanyun pursed her lips, raised her head, no longer pressed her forehead against Xu Xin, tilted her head slightly and said: "...a little bit, just a little bit."
Xu Xin turned to look at the World Tree outside the window, and then looked at Shi Wanyun with interest: "I am very suspicious now that if we had not planted this World Tree, I am afraid you would not be on my side."
Shi Wanyun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: "This is... the most important reason. This World Tree allows me to see the possibility of human beings. Maybe human beings can really defeat that kind of monster and stand up and take charge."
Xu Xin shook his head and said: "You are really honest."
"I just don't want to lie to you anymore." Shi Wanyun looked at him and said, "When this world tree appeared and the mysterious voice started to provoke the relationship between the regions, I knew that this tree was definitely not trivial. ”
"What would you have done if I hadn't planted this tree?"
"...You have subdued me, but it seems that as long as I obey, you have no intention of killing me. I will continue to lurk around you, looking for opportunities."
"Looking for a chance to kill me?"
"...Hmm."
"You're honest. But I understand."
Xu Xin looked at the World Tree outside.
"Being the master of such a garden and being able to dispatch most of the people, this kind of life has surpassed the life of 99% of people a thousand years ago, let alone in this crisis-ridden world."
Now, he is even more looking forward to the growth of the World Tree.
No wonder it’s called World Tree.
He also wondered why there were so many World Trees. In his impression, shouldn't there be only one tree that can be named World Tree in a world?
Now it seems that the name "World Tree" is not as exaggerated as he imagined.
It is called this name because the tree itself is equivalent to a small world!
"No, you don't understand." Shi Wanyun pursed her lips and looked at Xu Xin, "You don't understand."
"...What do you mean?" Xu Xin looked at her doubtfully.
"The information I got next was the key to changing my mentality." Shi Wanyun said, grabbing Xu Xin's arm and sticking up to him without waiting for Xu Xin's request.
She and Xu Xin looked at each other: "I, Shi Wanyun, am not so mean as to kill my savior just because of a comfortable place to live."
Xu Xin looked at her deeply and closed her eyes.
……
No. 5 took her to the attic.
"What you are about to see next is one of our core secrets, and it is also a secret that you must keep."
No. 5 suddenly stopped and stopped Shi Wanyun who wanted to continue walking inside.
"Remember, you must not tell anyone else what is going on here, not even the people here, even the number 228 you are familiar with."
Her words were very serious.
"Not even No. 228..." Shi Wanyun became slightly nervous.
This is really a core secret.
She has only been here for a day, and it is really stressful for her to know such a core secret.
"I know." She nodded.
"Okay, come with me."
No. 5 walked towards the door of the pavilion. She did not reach out to push the door, but the door slowly opened as she approached.
A wave of hot air came over the floor, mixed with a strange smell.
Everything in the attic made her slowly open her mouth.
The things in the attic were nothing like their appearance.
From the outside, the attic looks like an ancient Chinese building, very elegant.
But inside...
It is a strong sense of steel flood!
Complex and giant machines were running in front of her, making the sound of mechanical operation.
As she walked into it, the smell of metal mixed with the smell of blood became even stronger.
It took her breath away for a moment.
However, that wasn't what she cared about.
"This...this is..."
She raised her hand and pointed forward.
On the wall in front of you are two rows of large transparent capsules more than two meters high, neatly cleared of mines.
Each capsule is filled with a transparent light red liquid, and in the liquid is...
One by one, they are sleeping in strange shapes...
A monster that makes people physically uncomfortable.
Thank you [Da Ming Changyuan] for the reward of 100 starting coins, thank you for your support, thank you!
