Chapter 642: It turns out that this is how we became survivors
After some more inquiries, the general situation was basically understood.
The reason why it came to seek refuge was that its half-man, half-monster thing was discovered.
Although it has been cooperating with those alien invaders during this period, the other parties actually did not completely believe it.
Because after all, it has half human blood, and its appearance is also disgusted by the opponent.
Whether in the eyes of humans or alien invaders, it is a hybrid monster.
Therefore, those alien invaders originally wanted to control it, but unfortunately, this kind of thing was impossible.
Because like Xu Ying, it is an existence that can travel through time and space, and breaking free from imprisonment can be done with just a thought.
In the end, the conditions were indeed met.
The first batch of survivors arrived and selection began.
Naturally, these alien invaders would not hand over the power of selection to this hybrid monster of unknown origin, even though this plan was proposed by it.
However, the "ugly" appearance of human beings really made these alien invaders feel physically uncomfortable. They did not want to do this kind of thing themselves, so they left it to the few survivors who had survived the thousand-year experiment. those.
That is... the mysterious sounds in various areas.
The first survivors have arrived.
The monster gave each of them a tree house seed.
Although the technology of tree house seeds belongs to Xu Xin, Xu Ying and her team, Monster, as a participant, also knows this technology.
It would be too easy for alien invaders to reproduce the tree house seed technology that has degraded World Tree.
The reason why these things are given to the survivors is because their abilities alone are simply not enough to survive on such a crisis-ridden earth a thousand years from now.
Then, the selection of the first batch of survivors began.
The selection of the first batch of survivors was so ruthless that it was almost impossible to survive.
In this case, no matter how good the people left behind are, it is impossible for them to reproduce. There are too few people.
Therefore, starting from the second batch of survivors, the selection became much easier.
Basically, you can win this survival battle by eliminating the survivors who will not be brainwashed and the weak and sick survivors, and after a simple competition.
Then came the third and fourth batches, almost taking the same measures.
The survivors of the second, third, and fourth batches of survivors formed the basic population of the human city on the other hemisphere of the earth.
Among them, the most outstanding first survivors were the founders and managers of this city.
These survivors were of the right age. After settling in the city, the alien invaders gave them autonomy and sufficient resources and food. As a result, they reproduced at an extraordinary rate, and the population of human cities began to skyrocket.
The screening and selection of human genes are also ongoing.
……
"I sit on ten World Trees, and I often pay attention to the selection of survivors. Those war survivors who select survivors have all had contact with me." The monster said, "So, the best among the survivors I have basically taken over all the batches of people.”
"The most outstanding group of people..." Shi Wanyun muttered to himself, then looked at it, "Are they the same people I saw on that World Tree."
"That's right." The monster nodded, "That World Tree is one of the ten World Trees I own."
"...So, it was you who sent me to the World Tree."
"I...it's not me." The monster shook his head, "Your arrival was an accident."
……
The plan has been going on for fifty years, but the progress of human genetic research is not clear, and another batch of new blood is needed.
So the monster went back to the past again and brought back the fifth batch of survivors.
It was at this time that it felt the turbulence in time and space.
It discovered that at that point in time, a large number of humans other than it came to this period of time and space.
This immediately made him think of... the inventors of the time machine who had never been heard from fifty years ago.
This situation must be related to them.
So it took action.
……
"So, you found us and mixed us into the survivors." Xu Xin frowned slightly.
"Yes." The monster said, "You were transported in batches, but the interval between batches was very short, basically only a few minutes. Moreover, you were all sent to one area and transported here. They were all unconscious at the time.”
"You were teleported to the wilderness that was not affected by the World Tree. They did not discover you. If it weren't for me, you would not have been discovered."
The monster moved his body, as if he was no longer very comfortable on the sofa: "But I am more sensitive to the turbulence of time and space, and can sense the location of the turbulence of time and space, so I found you."
"So that's it..." Xu Ying said to herself.
It is transmitted in several batches, with intervals of a few minutes each time, which is easy to explain.
These people at that time were all sent here from a thousand years ago. Although it would have taken some time to find them and send them here at that point in time a thousand years ago, the time of sending them was not affected.
No matter when you send people out, just send them to a certain point in time.
Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying with a questioning look in her eyes.
"Our consideration at that time was that the more people we have, the more powerful we are. If we send them here together, the probability of survival will be higher."
Xu Ying said.
Then she pursed her lips.
"However, I don't know much. We can't do it ourselves to teleport you to the future. This is done by the younger generations. So, I basically don't know what you were like at that time. , Well, I don’t really care, after all... because of my brother’s operation on my time machine, it was already several years later when I arrived..."
She had talked about this before.
In order to prevent her from affecting the world too much, Xu Xin in that time and space adjusted the time of her time machine back a few years, making her arrive a long time late and not participate in the important actions that changed the world at that time.
It is precisely because of this that she has survived until now and has not been erased from the world.
"I have a question, why do you want to make us unconscious?" Xu Xin was a little confused, "Why don't you explain it to us?"
"Is the coma due to the implantation of the biochip? After the chip is implanted, you will be comatose for a long time." Xu Ying explained, "However, although the younger generations were eager to send you to the future, they also left you with Some information is not to say that you know nothing about it.”
Saying that, Xu Ying looked at the monster: "It should be a good thing it did."
"It's me." The two eyes on the monster's cheek opened.
"After no one was transmitted for a long time, I went to check on your situation. There is indeed a message left for you. It is not found in ordinary humans, but everyone in your research team has a message. A piece of paper stated your current situation, so I simply understood the situation at that time.”
"Is it really you..." Xu Ying stared at it and gritted her teeth slightly and said, "You really did a good thing!"
"At that time, I was even thinking about whether to go back in time to find you. But I gave up. After all, I have been working in this era for fifty years. In this era, there are humans on Earth and the mother planet who can provide me with genes. Meets all my needs and..."
It looked at Xu Ying: "Since you have chosen to travel to the past, it means that this era has been influenced by you. For me at that time, this was already a very good era, so in the end, I I didn’t go back to the past to interfere with you. Otherwise, if the future changes, my plan will be ruined.”
"Huh? I really didn't expect this sentence to come out of your mouth. How many times have you gone back to the past?" Xu Ying laughed angrily, "I don't dare to go back to the past at all, for fear that the world will collapse, but you are good , just go back and bring a bunch of people with you every time!”
"...The humans I brought are all people who have been determined to die in that invasion war. The possibility of changing the future is very small." The monster defended himself.
"Huh? How do you know that you will definitely die...ah! Is it the person who is illuminated by the red light?"
"Yes. Only a small part of those humans became blood-striped giants, and most of them died on the spot."
As it said, it looked at Shi Wanyun: "You are one of them. If I hadn't done this, if it were in another time and space, you would either have died or...become a blood-striped giant."
Shi Wanyun took a gentle breath.
It turns out that the self in that time and space was already dead when the alien invaders invaded?
Rather than turning into a blood-striped giant, she preferred to believe that she was dead.
She couldn't help but tremble slightly at the thought of turning into that kind of monster.
"In short, I discovered you, but you are just a group of people who were sent to the future because you were in the way. It has no practical significance, and everyone has been strengthened, so I directly let you participate together with other survivors. This game of survival”
"Because it was in the way... I'm not wrong. It was indeed the case at the time." Xu Ying secretly glanced at Xu Xin beside her with some embarrassment.
In the beginning, they really just wanted to go back to the past and change the future world in the past. There was no plan for what would happen after a thousand years in the future.
Although their plans later included people being sent to the future, that was only after the resistance failed.
For example, the deployment of human bases in the underground world, such as Crystal City, such as World Tree, are all preparations made later.
"But among those people, there is your mother!" Xu Ying glared at the monster in front of her, "You are so cruel, as expected..."
It's a hybrid of monsters.
She didn't say this.
"She is not my mother." The monster glanced outside. "Her aura is completely different from that of my mother. I could only barely recognize her through her appearance. There were so many people sent to the future at that time. , it’s impossible for me to find her.”
"...It's such a simple and rude way of treatment." Xu Xin shook his head.
The monster continued: "Furthermore, with the abilities you have been given and the relatively special tree house seeds in your hands, it is very easy to stand out from the selection. Facts have also proved that this is indeed the case, and... it is too conspicuous."
It looked out the window of the tree house: "The interior of this world tree is actually so vast. Before I followed you into this place, I could never have imagined it."
Its hoarse and weird voice was filled with wonder.
"What you did is so outstanding that it even attracted their attention, which makes me a little distressed. But at this time..."
The monster looked at Shi Wanyun: "She suddenly came to my World Tree. When No. 5 reported this to me, I thought that maybe she could... kill your leader. Of course, it was just a simple matter. Trying is not an important plan.”
Shi Wanyun turned his head slightly and looked away. She remembered the scene again.
So that's it...
"Wait a minute, you sent her to the underground Crystal City, right? How did you find out there?" Xu Ying asked this question.
"Do you think, since I found so many people sent there from thousands of years ago in that area, I wouldn't check the surroundings and underground of that area?" the monster asked.
Xu Ying was speechless.
"Fifty years ago, I had already found that place. At that time, the entire underground city was wrapped in stone. I didn't feel anything unusual. Although I was wary, I didn't do anything. Probably because... I I’m also looking forward to seeing what you can do.”
The monster opened his mouth and smiled obviously self-deprecatingly. Then he looked at Xu Xin and said, "Do you still remember how you found the Crystal City?"
"...At that time, the huge insect drilled a big hole in the ground, and he saw my statue from the hole." Xu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "Could it be you..."
"The location of that bug was requested by me." The monster's eyes opened and closed, "I guided it to let you find the Crystal City."
...Is this actually the case?
"No wonder you asked me to wait for him in that dungeon." Shi Wanyun was slightly stunned.
"Yes, I..."
"Wait a moment, I have a question." Xu Xin suddenly interrupted.
In the passage just now, there was a message that concerned him very much.
"This is where we all were after being teleported from thousands of years ago?"
Isn't this the area around his tree house?
Before his treehouse was transplanted, it was less than three kilometers away from Crystal City.
"This is where it is." The monster said, "Those of you who were sent here are scattered in Area 188 and nearby areas. This is also why."
No wonder the people in their team are basically in the same area, or adjacent areas.
The original members of the Explorers were in Area 188, and Zeng Tao Qinfu and others were in Area 187.
All nearby.
"If that's really the case..."
Xu Xin thought of the lake.
His tree house was planted beside the lake.
What's in the lake?
Giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.
According to Xu Ying, this huge beast was probably left behind by Xu Xin in that time and space.
...a giant beast that was left behind by Xu Xin in that time and space and was around the area where the crowd appeared.
Look at it this way...
The giant anaconda in the middle of the lake is very likely...
It was Xu Xin from that time and space who was responsible for guarding the existence of this group of people!
Perhaps, he told the giant anaconda that at this time, a large group of people would appear here and let it protect this group of people!
That's why it's here!
If the giant anaconda was left behind by Xu Xin in that time and space, there is no reason why he should not recognize Xu Xin now.
That's why it hasn't taken action against Xu Xin, and has even been doing things to help him!
is that so?
If this is really the case, then the giant anaconda’s previous behavior of protecting them seems to make sense!
"...Did you encounter anything when you found us and took us away?" Xu Xin asked the monster, "For example, a very huge anaconda came out of the lake or something?"
"Well, there is that giant anaconda in the lake, right? It even wanted to attack me."
The monster's words made Xu Xin's eyes light up.
The monster twisted its too-slender neck: "However, I didn't care at the time. It was just a giant beast, nothing unusual. After I quickly collected you, I teleported you away directly. Speaking of which, you should probably be grateful. I, if it weren’t for me, maybe you would have been crushed to death by that giant anaconda.”
……
It is so!
But...
Still a little strange. Why does Anaconda appear as an enemy in his map?
