Chapter 568 The Infiltrated City
"It's strange...it should be around here."
Xu Ying was in the wild at this time, sitting on a big rock, holding her chin in depression.
"Why can't I find it? Obviously only the land here in this area is polluted..."
After coming out of the villa, she generally checked around the city and found that only the area they had just explored was contaminated, and the other areas were still normal soil.
"If the soil is contaminated, it means there must be some special facilities here."
Xu Ying jumped down from the big stone and turned around to look at the big stone.
She touched her smooth chin, and then suddenly kicked the stone nearly two meters high from the side.
"Crack!"
It was a leg that looked slender and weak, but it suddenly burst out with unparalleled power. The moment it touched the big stone, the entire stone shattered instantly, and then cracked in all directions.
"Well...it's not in there either?" Xu Ying showed a slightly tired look, "Where is it? Did I think wrong?"
"No, it should be right."
Xu Ying looked around carefully again: "The center of the entire contaminated area is right here. The source of the pollution should be here... Is it underground? Probably not... I remember that part of the transmission device must be exposed. Ah.”
Xu Ying believes that the reason why the soil nearby is contaminated is that someone among the alien invaders buried a teleportation device here.
The alien invader's teleportation device will not cause pollution to the nearby soil when it is buried, but every time it is run, it will release some pollutants into the surroundings.
The pollutants that cause land pollution are waste materials produced when conveyors operate.
Because the main substances in it have been basically used up, its pollution ability is not strong, so it will not completely pollute the surrounding land, making the land completely unusable.
However, pollution will gradually spread. The more times the teleportation array is used, the larger the area of lightly polluted land around it will be.
"Based on the area occupied by this contaminated soil, if it is really caused by the transmission device, it would be really difficult to deal with." Xu Ying looked a little ugly.
To cause such a large area of contaminated land, the transmission device would have to be activated at least hundreds, or even hundreds, of times!
This number of times is very scary!
If the matter is true, this basically shows that this city, the core of mankind, has probably been peeped from all over.
And...
It can also be explained why the guards who suddenly wanted to capture her this time received such an order.
Perhaps some of the high-level humans here have actually established a relationship with the alien invaders on the ground!
There should be nothing wrong with Wei Bai. She didn't feel any traces of monsters or mutated creatures there.
In this case, it should be one of the other two families...or maybe both of the other two families?
"There are more lackeys again!"
Xu Ying kicked away the gravel under her feet and cleared a clearing. She still didn't see what she wanted to see here.
"Maybe... I was wrong?" Xu Ying didn't want to believe her own guess.
If this is really the case, then she is in a very passive situation now.
This situation is simply too bad!
She is not afraid of what the humans here will do to her, they cannot harm her at all, but if it is an alien invader...
That's another situation.
Although she is very conceited about her current abilities, facing alien invaders who have developed for seven hundred years more than the monsters that enslaved her for three hundred years and have been rooted in the region for a thousand years...
She really has no confidence.
"Can't think like that!"
Xu Ying patted her face hard, which made her face turn red, so that she could wake up.
"I am a person with the ability of time and space. The only thing that can kill me is this world. Those monsters are nothing! Now I can fight them alone... It should be no problem to fight one of them!"
He obviously wanted to build up courage for himself, but as he spoke, he lost his temper.
She kicked away the gravel on the ground with some annoyance, squatted down, and held her head.
"What's going on? Everything was normal when my brother was still here, but why did things become so complicated when he left!"
It was obvious that she was not responsible for handling the previous matters, but now the problem has become several times more complicated than before, but she is still responsible for it...
She can't do it!
"No! I have to cheer up!" Xu Ying stood up suddenly, "Brother gave me the chance to survive. I can't be so decadent!"
She looked around and carefully checked her surroundings again.
Still found nothing.
"My guess should be correct."
Xu Ying thought seriously.
"I did see a fleeting glimpse of mutated humans here before. The standard colors of the equipment are undoubtedly those of the lackeys."
"If this is the location of the teleportation device, it would explain why I saw them here."
"But I really can't find it..."
Xu Ying looked down at the ground.
"Could it really be buried underground? It's really strange..." Xu Ying stamped her feet and stepped on the ground, "This is originally an underground world, and then buried underground... Can this teleportation array really work? ?”
"Perhaps... the source of pollution is not located in the center of the contaminated land?"
The pollution area in this area is not small, and the low shrub vegetation is relatively dense, covering most of the surface. It is not easy to find a metal pillar with a small part of the ground exposed in this area.
"It's better that I don't want to search alone." Xu Ying gave up for the time being. Her strength alone was still too small. "Let's inform the Wei family and ask them to come here and search like a carpet. They have to dig three feet into the ground to search." Find that thing.”
"Otherwise, the teleportation device located near the main city... would be too dangerous!"
She looked in the direction of the main city.
The three tallest buildings are very eye-catching.
"Wei Bai should be finished now, right? Wait... it's bad, I didn't leave his contact information just now." Xu Ying had a headache.
Then her eyes lit up: "By the way, sister-in-law, she seems to have Wei Shishi's contact information! Go back first!"
As she spoke, she stepped lightly on it, and a purple-black vortex appeared. She fell into it and disappeared.
In the jungle, it was still very quiet.
In order to rush for time, Xu Ying appeared directly in Li Wenxi's room.
"Sister-in-law, don't sleep, there's something I need to do..."
Xu Ying's words stopped abruptly.
She saw that Li Wenxi's bed was a little messy, the quilt had been lifted, and there was no one on the bed.
"Sister-in-law...isn't here?"
The bedroom door was closed, but the window was wide open.
"...This is...!"
Xu Ying panicked for a moment.
Could it be that my sister-in-law was abducted? !
In this villa, there is indeed a tool containing space-time capabilities that she and Xu Xin jointly made, which can keep the surrounding humans away from the place unconsciously and prevent them from getting close.
But...
If it is those monsters, or their lackeys...
Xu Ying suddenly had no confidence in the device she made.
She kicked off her feet and appeared at the window almost instantly, looking out.
There was silence outside, nothing.
"No...it can't be..." She was really panicked this time, "I...I lost my sister-in-law? I..."
At this moment, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open.
She looked back suddenly and saw a sleepy Li Wenxi walking in.
"Sister-in-law!"
Xu Ying's eyes suddenly widened.
"Hmm... Yingying? You're back!" Li Wenxi suddenly sobered up when she saw Xu Ying.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing!" Xu Ying first breathed a long sigh of relief, and then complained.
"Huh? I...I just need to go to the toilet?"
"Go to the toilet?" Xu Ying didn't believe it, "Did you make no sound at all when you went to the toilet?"
Before Li Wenxi opened the door, Xu Ying didn't feel her presence at all.
With her hearing, it's impossible... she can't even hear footsteps, right?
Li Wenxi seemed to appear outside the door out of thin air.
"No sound?" Li Wenxi was a little confused, "What are you talking about? I just flushed the water... Oops, what are you asking!"
"Well...could it be because I'm too tired, so..." Xu Ying rubbed her head, "My senses have decreased?"
She walked to Li Wenxi's side, reached out and pinched various parts of Li Wenxi's body.
"What are you doing...? It's itchy!" Li Wenxi hurriedly grabbed Xu Ying's hand, "Don't pinch my waist!"
"Yes. She is a real sister-in-law."
Xu Ying even suspected that Li Wenxi had been switched, but after some verification, she overturned her idea.
If it's not Li Wenxi's problem, it's her own problem.
Her senses have declined?
Could it be that...
Xu Ying's eyes trembled.
My time... is coming to an end too?
"What's going on?" Li Wenxi saw Xu Ying's eyes were dull, and immediately reached out and pulled her face, bringing her back to reality.
"Ah...it's okay, it's okay!" Xu Ying shook her head.
No big deal!
She wasn't even afraid of death!
Her senses are now back to normal, but there was just a problem just now, not a big problem.
Moreover, there has been no chaos in time and space around her, so she can at least survive for a while!
At least we have to solve the problem at hand!
"Sister-in-law, you should be able to contact Wei Shishi, right? I have something to ask her for help."
"Wei Shishi? Oh, yes."
Li Wenxi took out a small device from her backpack: "Is this what you are using? At that time, Wei Shishi asked me to wear it on my ear and tap three times to contact her."
"Yes, that's it." Xu Ying took it over immediately, "I'll use it!"
She put it on her ear and tapped it three times with her fingers.
A beeping sound came from the device immediately.
Li Wenxi also put her ear closer.
"Hello, it's me, Wei Shishi." Wei Shishi's voice came over, her voice a little cold as always.
However, both Li Wenxi and Xu Ying knew that she was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"Ah, it's me, Xu Ying."
"...Why do you have the device I gave to Li Wenxi?" Wei Shishi's voice suddenly became several degrees colder.
This time he was really indifferent.
"Don't be so hostile, okay? I haven't done anything to you." Xu Ying said a little depressed.
"I'm dead."
"Hey, no, I discovered something, it's related to the survival of mankind."
"...What's the matter?" Wei Shishi's voice became much more serious.
"That's it..."
Xu Ying told Wei Shishi what she had just discovered, and also shared her guess.
"You mean that alien invaders have already discovered our place?" Wei Shishi's voice was full of shock, "This is impossible! The area around here is under surveillance by our Wei family, how could they... …”
Li Wenxi was also slightly surprised: "It turns out that the soil was polluted because..."
"Forget it about your surveillance. As long as I'm careful, I can keep you from noticing. It's too easy for them to avoid your surveillance." Xu Ying curled her lips, "And..."
< br>
She had a bad suspicion in her mind.
"And what?" Wei Shishi asked.
Although Xu Ying's disdain for their skills made her a little annoyed, she didn't dare to lose her temper anymore when it was about the fate of mankind.
"It's just my conjecture." Xu Ying looked at the city outside the window, "You have to know that the lackeys of the alien invaders are also humans. They are humans who survived thousands of years ago, or new ones born within these thousands of years. Humanity.”
"...your consciousness says...!"
"Well, maybe, there are already running dogs living in your city, using the identity of ordinary humans!"
Her words made the hearts of three people, including herself, suddenly rise.
This conjecture...is a bit creepy.
But, this is indeed very possible!
Xu Ying spoke again: "What I can confirm is that this area was not polluted fifty years ago. Therefore, the land pollution occurred within these fifty years."
"If the land pollution is really caused by the conveyor, then based on the area, the conveyor has been used at least hundreds of times, or even hundreds or thousands of times."
"Why do we need to place a teleportation device here and teleport it so many times?"
"If it is to infiltrate the city, then it is very possible."
"Those lackeys teleport again and again just to integrate into the life here."
The three of them were silent for a long time, all thinking about the possibility of this matter.
"I have a question." Li Wenxi asked, "Those lackeys all have the blood pattern mutation gene, right? If they have blood patterns on their faces, wouldn't it be easy for them to blend in here?"
"The first generation does have blood streaks. However, blood streak mutations are not inherited." Xu Ying gave an explanation, "Maybe it is the individuals that have not mutated in the subsequent generations?"
"It's unreasonable." It was Wei Shishi who spoke this time. "The population has increased by hundreds or even thousands for nothing. We can't possibly not notice it."
"What if these hundreds or thousands of people entered step by step within fifty years?" Xu Ying asked, "If there are only a few people in a year, can you detect it?"
"Yes. At least several nearby cities can. This is the core area. We do not allow people without household registration to exist unless they remain as underground rats and huddle up. But in that case, they can't do anything in formal occasions, even You will be watched by the police even when you are walking.”
"That's it...it seems that your technology has improved a lot in the past fifty years." Xu Ying said thoughtfully, "That really doesn't mean much. But...what if they don't join, but replace it?"
"Instead of...instead of...?" Wei Shishi's voice changed slightly.
"Kill me, and pretend to be them, and live here instead of them." Xu Ying said solemnly.
"Isn't this... more difficult than the previous one?" Li Wenxi asked.
"Don't underestimate alien technology." Xu Ying shook her head, "It's too easy to change your face. Even humans a thousand years ago could do it. As for fingerprint genes and other things, as long as ordinary people don't commit crimes, who will check their fingerprints and keep records? Ah. So..."
She asked Wei Shishi: "Have you ever heard of some people experiencing drastic changes in temperament, blurred memory, or even amnesia? If there are hundreds or thousands of people, maybe there can be some clues? For example, a certain person A strange disease or something like that.”
"Yes." Wei Shishi's voice trembled slightly.
"Forget it, if not, then there is no... ah? Yes?" Xu Ying's eyes suddenly widened, "Really?"
"It's true."
"Who are they? Are there many people? Do you know anyone?"
"My grandpa."
"Your father...ah?!" (End of Chapter)
