Chapter 571: Stay with me before dawn

Chapter 571: Stay with me before dawn

Xu Xin took Coco, who was sleeping soundly on the armrest of the sofa, into her arms, stroking her while thinking.

Shi Wanyun's experience revealed quite a lot of information.

Combining the information he knows, he can basically guess a lot of things.

The good news is that he may have found the entrance to the underground human base.

The bad news is that the underground human base has probably been discovered by alien invaders.

This made him feel a little anxious and worried.

Could it be that there is actually a crisis down there?

Could it be that Yingying took Wen Xi away to... fight the alien invaders?

No... The message Wen Xi left before said that she was not in danger, and her current situation was much safer than here.

Judging from Wen Xi's tone, she probably wasn't lying.

That means that the human base below has not yet been attacked by alien invaders.

But...according to Shi Wanyun's information...

[It’s so disgusting, let you humans handle it yourself]

Humans, handle it yourself.

It's obvious.

There is a high probability that alien invaders have discovered the underground human base.

To humans, they are monsters that are physically uncomfortable just by looking at them, but the reverse is also true.

Humans are also kind of monsters to them.

So, is it unwilling to deal with the human base below?

Or...

Can't they handle it?

Well...

Yes, maybe there really is such a reason.

When they invaded the earth, they relied on the blood-red light that enveloped half of the planet to mutate half of the planet, causing disaster to sweep the world.

But they couldn't make the blood-red light illuminate the entire underground world.

After all, the underground world is only three thousand meters high, and the terrain is complicated. Even if the location is found, it may not be easy to deal with.

They can't find a way to catch them all, so why don't they attack the underground for the time being?

It's possible.

But this is not a good thing.

Now that they have discovered the underground human base, it means that the human base has been exposed to danger.

"Xu Xin."

Xu Xin was thinking when suddenly the door of the second bedroom was opened.

"Huh?" Xu Xin turned to look at Shi Wanyun inside the door, "What's the matter?"

She had changed into more comfortable and soft clothes at this time.

"I have told you everything, and I am now out of the other person's control, so... I hope you can also tell me what you know about this world."

Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin and said: "No need now, just tell me when you think I am really trustworthy."

Shi Wanyun kept his posture very low.

This makes people feel her sincerity.

"Oh..."

What he knows about the world.

Um.

He had actually told Shi Wanyun that this was the earth a thousand years later, and that those monsters were alien invaders.

But he hasn't said anything about how humans like them arrived a thousand years later, or about the things behind this crystal city.

Xu Xin nodded: "Let me think about it."

In fact, everyone in the Explorer, including Lou Fei'er Zeng Tao, knew about Crystal City.

If she could gain everyone's trust, she wouldn't need to explain it to him.

Others will tell her.

"One more thing, about my ability... I hope you don't tell others." Shi Wanyun hesitated and said.

"Well... the capabilities of our explorer members are open and transparent." Xu Xin waved his hand, indicating that it was inappropriate, "If you really want to survive with us, you need to disclose your capabilities."
< br>

"No, I don't want to join the Explorers. I'm just... your subordinate." Shi Wanyun walked out of the second bedroom and walked to stand in front of Xu Xin. "I don't trust anyone except you."

"...Don't believe it?" Xu Xin thought of something and looked at Shi Wanyun.

Could it be that she was suspicious...

"Are you members of the explorers really all of us?" Shi Wanyun's voice was soft, but he said words that made people tremble in their hearts. "Any survivor may be like me before."

Xu Xin raised her eyebrows slightly.

...This is really a bold guess.

What she meant was that the members of the Explorers might also be people controlled by alien invaders?

Is it possible?

Yes, but not much.

Even if there is, all of them have been injected with genetic medicine before, even the lackeys, they should be free of it by now.

Moreover, they all have special abilities. According to the information he obtained from the Crystal Palace, these people should be members of the original team.

"You are thinking too much." Xu Xin shook his head, "They have all been injected with genetic medicine like you."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Shi Wanyun said softly, "But... I still don't want to tell them. Now, I only believe in you. So, for those things I just told you, you... decide for yourself whether Tell them all.”

She really doesn't believe these people.

Indeed, her previous experiences may have made her a little suspicious.

If you do something, you will suspect that others will do the same.

This is human nature.

To be honest, when she said these words, Xu Xin herself doubted whether there would be a problem.

Xu Xin looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"Then have you ever thought that I am the one who is most likely to be the mole? I have been at the top of the rankings since the first event. If it weren't for their help, how would I have done it? Have you secured this position?”

"...You're not, you can't be. If you were, that monster wouldn't let me kill you." Shi Wanyun still stood in front of him and looked at him, "I was sent to kill you. , you cannot stand with them.”

Is that why she only believes in herself?

"Is there a possibility that this is just an internal strife between us? Otherwise, how could that monster have... a photo of me with blood tattoos on his face?"

Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Shi Wanyun.

Shi Wanyun's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"You..." She opened her lips slightly, not knowing what to say.

"Also, aren't you curious about why I have those World Tree seeds that only monsters have?"

Xu Xin stood up.

"Only those monsters you talk about will become the masters of the World Tree, right?"

Shi Wanyun took a step back slightly.

Yes...

Why?

Xu Xin walked up to her, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Who do you think I am now?"

"I..." Shi Wanyun took a step back slightly again, and then smiled reluctantly, "You are... joking, right?"

"Do you think I'm joking?" Xu Xin looked at her closely.

Shi Wanyun's pupils were trembling slightly.

"You..."

"I was joking."

Xu Xin gave up when she saw that she was good, shook her head with a smile, and sat back on the sofa: "There are reasons for these situations I mentioned, and everyone in the Explorer actually knows it. I am a good person, not Wolf.”

"...Is it interesting?"

After Shi Wanyun was stunned for a few seconds, he turned his head and his tone was slightly annoyed.

She almost thought that Xu Xin really had a problem just now.

Even now, she still has some doubts in her heart about the questions Xu Xin just mentioned.

"I just want to see your reaction." Xu Xin glanced at her, "Are you sleepy?"

"...sleepy." Shi Wanyun nodded lightly, "But after being scared by you, I woke up a lot."

"If you are sleepy, go to bed first. This world is more complicated. When you wake up, I will explain it to you in detail."

Shi Wanyun was slightly startled, and then understood what Xu Xin meant.

Does he really trust himself?

The corners of her mouth curved slightly: "Yes, I understand."

Then she stopped lingering and turned around and walked into the second bedroom.

Xu Xin decided to believe her.

In his test just now, her performance could basically determine that she was one of his own.

Although her expression didn't change much, it could be seen from her movements and eyes that she really didn't know anything about it, and she also showed fright and fear.

Well, she can be her own person.

What a hassle.

Now that the mutant beast contract is no longer effective, he can only rely on himself to judge whether it is worthy of trust or not.

Now he chooses to believe Shi Wanyun.

Xu Xin sighed.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you trust or not, interests are the most appropriate bargaining chip to maintain interpersonal relationships.

Even if it is the person opposite, as long as he can use his chips, he may not be able to make the other person one of his own.

But unfortunately, they are not yet on par with the alien invaders and cannot bring out any decent benefits.

Just be more careful.

However, when the World Tree truly grows and Crystal City is added to it, they should be able to hold a good bargaining chip in their hands.

Shi Wanyun reminded him.

Now, there may still be a possibility that there is a mole like Shi Wanyun in Crystal City.

After all, it was a group of people who came together to seek refuge, and maybe one or a few of them had problems.

However, don’t worry too much for the time being, the core information is basically only spread among explorers.

As for the members of the Explorers...

In his opinion, probably not.

Of course, since Shi Wanyun brought it up, it still needs to be verified, otherwise it will always be a thorn in the heart.

It is actually not difficult to verify this.

Just find Yingying.

Logically speaking, the people in the Explorers should all be members of the original team.

And that Yingying is also a member of the team.

If she knew them all, there shouldn't be any problem.

As for how to find Yingying...

Xu Xin opened her watch and contacted Lou Fei'er.

"...Hello...?" Lou Fei'er's voice over there was very lazy and dazed, obviously she was woken up from her sleep, "Who is..."

"It's me, Xu Xin. Please stay with me before dawn."

"Oh...ah?!"

Lou Fei'er was confused for a second, and then she suddenly woke up. Her voice was a little stuttered: "Accompany...accompany you? Huh? Now...now? Really or not...then, I will go to your tree now." Is the house looking for you? Or are you coming over?”

Lou Fei'er's voice was slightly nervous.

"Did you misunderstand something..." Xu Xin shook his head helplessly, "I want to go to the cave you discovered before."

"Cave? Oh... a cave." Lou Fei'er suddenly felt a little disappointed, "I thought... I shouldn't talk about this kind of thing until dawn. If you don't sleep, you may die suddenly."

"Time is tight now, use your time wisely."

"Okay, okay, I'll get dressed right now..."

After hanging up the call, Xu Xin swung down from the tree house with the sleeping Coco in his arms.

After waiting for two minutes, Lou Feier also swung down from the tree house.

"Then let's leave now?"

"Let's go."

In order not to waste time, Xu Xin called out the Silver King, while Lou Fei'er rode on Ashue, and the two of them quickly moved towards the goal.

In fact, her own speed is already faster than that of Ashue, but she can still save her physical strength.

The Crystal City is very bright, like a city that never sleeps.

When passing by the edge of Crystal City, Xu Xin saw many active mutated creatures.

Some of these mutated creatures are nocturnal, so they do not sleep.

"Ouch——" Silver King howled.

Immediately, the mutated creatures quickly made way for them and watched them leave.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the place Lou Feier mentioned before.

"This is it."

Lou Fei'er pointed to a very narrow mountain gap blocked by many lush plants: "Just get in from here."

"Uh...huh?" Coco also woke up, glanced around vaguely, and her eyes immediately widened, "Uh-huh?"

"Let's go in, remember, don't move, we are just here to take a look this time."

Even if this is really the entrance to the underground human base, he has no intention of entering directly this time.

They must at least see if there is a situation tomorrow before considering other actions. Their primary goal now is to protect the World Tree.

After obtaining Shi Wanyun's memory, he knew that this World Tree was definitely their biggest bargaining chip and strongest resource now.

"Just here to take a look? Okay, I understand. Let me go first."

With that said, she ducked into the mountain gap.

"Hey!" Coco yelled, jumped out of Xu Xin's arms and got in.

"Axue, Silver King, you guys stay here and call us if there is any situation."

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

After getting the answer, Xu Xin pushed aside the plants beside the gap and got into it.

The narrow gap was not very long, and he only walked seven or eight meters before he got out of the gap.

What came into view was a giant human-faced statue similar to before.

"Really?"

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, Xu Xin nodded slightly.

Just as he expected.

Sure enough, it was Yingying’s face.

The statue is still made of stone and looks slightly damaged on the outside.

The statue still wears some strange-looking decorations.

It is said that the two people in the image were dressed a little strangely at that time. Xu Xin still didn't understand why these two people were dressed like that.

Looking at the statue, Xu Xin knew that this was not actually what the statue looked like.

After the worn-out stone layer on the outside is removed, the inside should also be a crystal statue.

He looked around again.

There are no ruins in this area. There is only one statue in the entire cave.

And it's not surrounded by walls, but normal rocks and soil.

"Look, it's almost exactly the same as before, but it's just changed its personality." Lou Fei'er stood in front of the human-faced statue, pointed at the human-faced statue and said, "Is this statue your sister?"

She also thought of this.

"Well, yes. She is my sister." Xu Xin nodded.

"That's true." Lou Feier said in surprise, "You brothers and sisters are really strong. In this case, is there a crystal city down here? Ah, look here."

Lou Fei'er walked to the side of the statue and pointed to the ears of the statue: "There are pendants on the ears, which are similar to the previous statue of yours. Is that the same as before? We just need to twist the pendants on the two ears together. Can you turn on the switch? ”

"Hey!" Coco agreed.

It had climbed to the head of the statue, lying on the edge, looking towards one ear.

"Maybe." Xu Xin walked to the side and reached out to touch it. As expected, the earrings can be twisted.

Triggering the mechanism will open the passage to the human base.
