Chapter 624 If it were you, what would you choose?

The story is not as complicated as imagined.

Twenty years ago, the lackeys of the alien invaders came to the Wei family and met the current head of the Wei family, Wei Bai.

The purpose is to allow the high-level humans in the underground world to cooperate with the humans on the ground.

At that time, Weibo was shocked that there were still humans surviving on the ground, so he held a very formal meeting with them.

At that time, the lackeys of the alien invaders were very kind and polite. Their attitude could not even be called "negotiation", but "discussion".

They told Weibo about the situation on the ground, and displayed the status of prosperous human cities on the ground in front of Weibo in the form of photos and holographic projections.

Wei Bai saw the sky for the first time. He was extremely excited at that time, because his lifelong pursuit was to bring the people in the underground world to see the sun again.

The other party told him that as long as he formed an alliance with them and continued to cooperate, the humans who had lived in the underground world for a long time could return to the surface and see the light.

For Wei Bai, this condition is too generous and too tempting.

But...he didn't agree at the time.

"When those people were talking to Grandpa, they didn't mention the alien invaders. Instead, they kept talking about...'gods.'" Wei Shishi looked at the table blankly and said softly.

There were a total of two people negotiating with him, a man and a woman. When they mentioned "gods", there would be a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

At first, Weibo only thought that this was their belief and didn't think much about it.

Because things like belief are too common in the underground world.

In this oppressive underground world with only three thousand meters of sky, it would be difficult for people to survive without faith.

The two statues of Xu Xin and Xu Ying represented by the central city are the largest beliefs in the underground world. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are religions.

Nearly half of the people in the underground world base believe in these two "gods", because it is these two "gods" that give them the greatest hope.

"Of course, I don't believe in you. Because our Wei family are all atheists."

Wei Shishi glanced at Xu Xin and said.

"Although our Wei family has not fully disclosed your identity, we have all hinted that you are human beings who have traveled through time through technological means and whose life span has been extended."

"In the eyes of our Wei family, you are very powerful humans, not gods. Of course, many people still respect you very much. For a family like ours, it is inevitable to respect the strong, but this is not a belief."< br>

Xu Xin smiled bitterly.

The god they worship is not him, but Xu Xin of that time and space.

He seems to be... a bit pretentious.

But Xu Ying beside them is indeed the "god" they believe in.

Wei Shishi continued.

Under the blessing of this atmosphere of worshiping gods in the underground world, Wei Bai initially did not have any unnecessary opinions about the "gods" that the other party had always mentioned to protect them.

But during the discussion, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

The other party never mentioned that the biggest enemy on the ground was the alien invader who invaded the earth thousands of years ago, slaughtered a large number of life on earth, and almost wiped out human beings on earth.

From the other party's explanation, he soon realized that the other party was a lackey of the alien invaders!

He also saw the red lines on the other party's wrist that he inadvertently revealed, and immediately understood everything.

As the head of an aristocratic family that has lasted for thousands of years, Wei Bai would certainly not be too rude.

He kept his cool and used a friendly and positive attitude to extract a lot of information from the other party.

And that information made him even more frightened.

It was also at this time that he learned about the so-called "survivors".

Yes, he knew most of what happened on the ground.

Twenty years ago, three groups of survivors came to the surface of the earth.

As the leader of the underground world, he has been nurtured since he was a child and hates the alien invaders on the ground almost to the bone, so naturally he cannot agree to this matter.

He tried many methods, but he couldn't figure out how to get the other party to the underground world and how to get back.

Without knowing how the other party got to the underground world, he didn't know how to counterattack.

That negotiation is over. There is no failure and no success.

The reason Wei Bai gave was that there were hundreds of millions of people in the underground world, and it was not so easy to decide the fate of hundreds of millions of people. He needed some time to think about it.

The other party also understood this.

After that, the Wei family's hidden factory began to make all-out efforts to manufacture weapons and equipment. Even though resources were already in short supply at the time, the Wei family also spent most of their spare resources to be more armed and prepared.

During this period, Wei Bai also held discussions with the heads of the other two major families.

After all, his Wei family alone is not enough to solve such a big problem.

But the result was not ideal.

The other two families do not have the same inheritance as the Wei family, unlike the heads of the Wei family in previous generations who have had contact with Xu Xin and others.

They have no obsession with returning to the ground, and no deep-seated hatred of alien invaders.

After all, it was all a thousand years ago.

For them, what happened thousands of years ago has already passed through forty or fifty generations, and they have basically no impressions or feelings.

Moreover, those rumors that the ground is full of dangers and like hell are spread by them. The purpose is to prevent people from still yearning for the ground and wanting to return to the ground.

The heads of the two families didn't have any opinions on the fact that there were still humans on the ground.

They even believe that the legend of alien invaders conquering the earth thousands of years ago is not necessarily true. It is likely that some geological disaster on the ground caused humans to immigrate underground. Today’s ground is no longer suitable for survival, and there is no need to go up. .

In short, their attitude is very simple. The ground is too dangerous, and going against alien invaders is asking for death. Whatever you want to do, don't get involved with us, and don't bring trouble to the underground world.

Even though resources were scarce at the time, they had no plans to return to the ground. They plan to solve this problem from other underground areas. After all, the underground world is very big.

In the end, the negotiation came to nothing.

"Wait...the other two families also know about this?"

Xu Xin asked with a frown.

"...According to what grandpa said, only the heads of the two families should know about it, and these two people have not publicized it to the outside world. Because if the residents of the underground world know that there are people on the ground, and even come to pick them up, then there will always be Some people yearn for the ground. I’m afraid it will be a mess.”

This is indeed true.

The people here have been taught that the ground is dangerous since they were young. The sun will cause the whole body to fester and die. As a result, there are humans on the ground coming down now, and they plan to take them up...

Lies or truth, which side will people choose?

Perhaps the older generation will choose the former and continue to live a stable life, but the new generation may set off a wave of resistance.

For the sake of the stability of the human base in the underground world, the heads of the three families decided not to make this matter public.

"This is why, although the heads of the three families have always known about this matter, other people in the base area have no idea about it at all. It was not until yesterday that I learned about this matter from my grandfather."

Yesterday...

Um.

Although several days have passed in Xu Xin's subjective time, he spent most of his time in the World Tree.

Judging from the time outside the World Tree, Xu Ying and Li Wenxi only came back this morning.

The siege of World Tree also happened yesterday.

"What happened after that?" Xu Xin was a little confused, "So it seems that your grandfather did not want to rebel?"

Wei Shishi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "Those lackeys brought about the largest attack in history... by mutated creatures!"

Weibo himself actually didn't want to have anything to do with these people.

He is someone who has met Xu Ying and Xu Ying. He knows what the situation is like on the ground and the virtues of the other party's lackeys.

The opponent's sudden appearance left him helpless, and he could only passively defend.

This was also the neutralization method he negotiated with the three family heads.

If you are really worried, just let the Wei family who is responsible for the armed forces increase their strength and ensure that the other party does not hurt them.

As a family that exploits controlled resources, the Yuan family will also open the door to the Wei family.

After that, Weibo once again discussed with the two humans who came up from the ground and informed them that the people underground had no intention of returning to the surface.

The other party expressed regret at that time and left without saying anything.

Things got out of hand after that.

A few days later, mutated creatures appeared in several cities in the hinterland of the underground human base.

That's right, the attack was not from the periphery of the underground human base.

The mutated creatures that were originally surrounding the underground human base suddenly appeared in large numbers in the hinterland for some unknown reason!

Although it did not appear in the most central city, several surrounding cities were attacked!

That battle was extremely brutal!

Although only single-digit cities were affected, these are some of the most densely populated cities in the underground human base areas!

Even if the Wei family has weapons that can easily kill mutated creatures, they are still unable to withstand the efforts of the other party to attack the enemy.

And in this battle, Wei Bai's son, who was about to inherit the position of head of the Wei Bai family, Wei Shishi's father, died together with her mother under the siege of mutant creatures.

Those who surrounded and suppressed them were some advanced mutated creatures.

Even though they were protected to the highest degree, the Wei family used weapons to severely injure each other, but in the end, while preparing to evacuate, they were sitting on a fighter plane and were attacked by flying mutant creatures, resulting in the plane crashing and killing everyone.

Wei Shishi said, but her emotions did not fluctuate much: "I was still young when they died, and I don't have much memory of them anymore. But grandpa..."

When Wei Bai arrived at the scene, he only saw the two men's unrecognizable corpses.

Fortunately, the plane had just taken off and was not going very fast, so a whole body was left behind.

It was the most painful thing for a white-haired person to give away a black-haired person. After that, Wei Bai became decadent, his temperament changed drastically, and he stopped participating in decision-making at all.

The next generation of family head died, and the head of the family became decadent. Wei Shishi was still a little kid at that time, and the Wei family was in complete chaos.

"The reason why grandpa's temperament changed drastically is not simply because of the death of my parents." Wei Shishi bit her lips and said, "If it was just the death of the two of them, grandpa, as the head of the family, would not ignore it no matter how sad he was. The Wei family was in a state of decadence for nearly a year."

"...Those lackeys came to contact your grandfather again." Xu Xin sighed.

"That's right." Wei Shishi nodded.

The other party did not know what method they used to enter Wei Bai's private room, and at the same time directly showed Wei Bai: they were the ones responsible for the mutated creatures.

They said this was the price for Weber's rejection of them.

This is also telling the humans in the underground world that you have no ability to resist.

If we don't cooperate with them, everyone in the underground world will die in pain like Wei Bai's son and daughter-in-law.

At that time, Wei Bai, who was the head of the Wei family and had a stable mentality, had a very strong impulse to kill for the first time and acted on it.

But it didn't work out.

The opponent was well prepared, and even his face was well protected. The gun in Wei Bai's hand did not even make the opponent retreat.

The firearm he used for self-protection was not a top-notch weapon, but it was one of the most powerful among portable handguns. Even so, it did not hurt the opponent at all.

This time, the other party had a completely arrogant attitude, which was completely opposite to his previous kind and humble attitude.

After subduing Wei Bai, the other party did not harm Wei Bai, but made him a very tempting offer.

Even if you cooperate with them, most of the humans in the underground world will die, because their "gods" don't need so many humans, but if you don't cooperate with them, everyone will die.

As long as Wei Bai agrees to let the Wei family serve as the base for above-ground forces to penetrate underground, then they can guarantee that people in this central city, including the Wei family, will not die.

At the same time... they will resurrect Wei Shishi's parents.

"Resurrection?" Xu Xin's pupils shrank suddenly, "Is it true? Or fake?"

"False." Xu Ying shook her head, "But Wei Bai always thought it was true, because..."

"Because those two lackeys brought my father back to life in front of grandpa." Wei Shishi said.

The other party seemed to have deliberately left the whole bodies of Wei Shishi's parents when they died.

At that time, the two men had not been dead for more than a day and had not yet been buried.

Under the actions of the other two, Wei Bai's son's already cold body sat up in front of Wei Bai's shocked and ecstatic eyes, and even said with difficulty: "Dad..." < br>

Then lie down again.

"Those lackeys told him that my parents' brains were not damaged and could be resurrected if stimulated and repaired." Wei Shishi whispered, "However, the choice must be made within half a day."< br>

Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying shook her head: "Other functions of the body have stopped. It is impossible for the brain to be repaired, let alone one day. It is already completely dead."

This is indeed the case.

The brain is the most precious and fragile part of the human body. Even if it is deprived of oxygen for only a few minutes, while other body parts are still healthy, the brain will die suddenly.

This is why there are so many vegetative people with sound body functions but brain-dead consciousness.

In most cases, the brain is the first organ to die.

I have been dead for a day, and my brain is probably already...

"But grandpa did see my father sit up and speak. He believed at that time that alien technology already had the ability to medically repair dead brains. After all..."

Wei Shishi looked at Xu Ying: "After all, grandpa, he has seen people who lived hundreds of years and can make people live forever. Why can't they come back to life?"

"...This is impossible." Xu Xin frowned.

"Of course it's impossible." Xu Ying shook her head.

"It doesn't matter that we can live so long. Extending life span is based on the survival of life. Even in nature, there are some examples of similar immortality, such as lighthouse jellyfish. But resurrection from the dead is pure nonsense. . If the dead lives can be restored, then those alien invaders may really be called gods.”

"But grandpa didn't think so at the time. At that time, he believed that in the face of the intruder's force, it was impossible for our Wei family to protect everyone, and even... no one could be protected."

Wei Shishi looked at the two of them with red eyes: "If it were you, what would you choose?"

"On the one hand, everyone is going to die together, all life is in ruins, and the underground world has become a complete purgatory."

"On the other side, some people can survive, and my parents and his son can also be resurrected."

"There is only half a day to choose. After half a day, my parents will die completely and never have a chance to live again."

"If it were you, how would you choose?" (End of Chapter)
