Chapter 651 The crisis is approaching and Xu Ying returns
There is still no clear clue as to how Chang Yin's petrification ability came from.
Although the monster used the petrification ability and the altar, which caused some trouble for Xu Xin and the others, it also had little understanding of the petrification ability and the altar.
So this matter will be settled for the time being.
At least for now, it seems that Changyin is still on their side, which is enough.
"嘤......"
Coco climbed down from the second floor and climbed into Xu Xin's arms.
"Coco, do you know what petrified creatures are?"
Xu Xin suddenly asked Kekedao.
This little guy, Coco, can basically be sure that he has experienced time travel.
Moreover, it is very likely that it does not come from the past, but from the future.
Then it is very likely that it knows something.
Especially when the group of stone creatures approached the World Tree, Coco always confidently told Xu Xin that those petrified creatures were not dangerous.
"...Huh?" Coco tilted her little head, her eyes filled with confusion.
Pretend to be very similar.
But Xu Xin will not be fooled by it.
"You little guy, tell me where those stone creatures came from." Xu Xin picked up the back of Coco's neck.
"Hey?" Coco let him pick her up, swung her big tail twice, and still tilted her little head, looking innocent.
"Oh, what are you doing!" Li Wenxi hugged Cocoa over, "Ask Cocoa what this is doing, how could it know!"
She rubbed the back of Coco's neck.
"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head in agreement, waved her little paw at Xu Xin, and raised her little head again.
This little guy...
"Pfft, you were so sick that you rushed to the doctor." Lou Fei'er couldn't help laughing.
In her opinion, it was too ridiculous to ask Coco.
Although this little guy Ke Ke is a bit magical, how could he possibly know such a thing?
Xu Xin was speechless.
Li Wenxi and Lou Fei'er don't know yet that Coco comes from the future.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use his mind-reading ability on Coco, he probably wouldn't know the origin of this mysterious little guy.
"Forget it." Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.
Keke didn't want to tell him that he couldn't torture this little guy to extract a confession.
"Keke, I just want to ask, are those stone creatures safe?" Xu Xin hugged Coco back again, rubbing its belly and asked.
"Hey!" Coco nodded her little head very confidently.
"You are so confident, and you say you don't know." Xu Xin pinched its ears and said speechlessly.
"嘤!"
Coco jumped out of Xu Xin's arms, stood up, waved her little paws at him twice, and then ran to the second floor.
"Keke, does it really know?" Li Wenxi asked with a surprised look on her face.
She felt that Xu Xin would not act without aim.
"Who knows?" Xu Xin spread her hands, "Maybe it knows, this little guy is very mysterious. But it..."
"Then can we trust those stone creatures outside now?" Lou Feier suddenly asked, "Those stone creatures would attack us before."
Xu Xin and the others have indeed fought against stone creatures more than once.
"It shouldn't be a big problem now."
Xu Xin glanced at the second floor.
He chose to believe in Coco.
From the moment he met this little guy, it never missed a beat.
Perhaps it has already seen everything in the future.
Who on earth sent it from the future?
……
Time flies in the World Tree.
This is the case in Yggdrasil, because there is no transition between day and night, and the concept of time becomes blurred.
Fortunately, they have already established standard time.
They even set up a clock tower in the center of the entire living area, with huge clocks on all sides, showing everyone the current time.
At eight o'clock in the morning and eight o'clock in the evening, the bell will ring to let everyone know how many days have passed based on the time outside.
More than half a month has passed in the World Tree since the arrival of Changyin.
During this half month, nothing major happened, everything was going on as planned.
"Hey, Yingying, why hasn't she come back yet?"
When the clock struck eight o'clock in the evening, Li Wenxi was chatting with Lou Feier and the other girls in the room.
"According to the time outside, she should have been out for more than four hours, right?" Zeng Tao counted on his fingers.
Zeng Tao was not idle during this period.
She has enlarged the missile system developed by Ma Hongwei, turning it into a giant missile nearly twenty meters long, with the power increased dozens of times.
Now, the explorers have planned to install this missile device outside the World Tree.
"Maybe it will take longer." Jin Yue put down the card in her hand and said, "I won."
"Ah!" Lou Fei'er stared at the cards Jin Yue put down with wide eyes, and then threw the cards in her hand on the table in frustration, "Oh no, I won't play anymore, I keep losing!"
What they are playing is a card game from the underground world.
"What are you doing? Can't you afford to lose?" Zeng Tao teased.
"Slightly, slightly~"
"When Yingying comes back this time, she should bring us a lot of people living in the underground world, right?" Shi Wanyun also put down the cards in his hand and said softly.
"Well, by then, our place will be lively!" Li Wenxi said with a smile.
"It's quite lively now, right?" Lou Fei'er said, got up and went to get a glass of water, leaning on the table.
"Now... I always feel like something is close to happening." Zeng Tao ran to the window and looked out, "The population density is too small. What do you call this... a vast land and sparsely populated areas!"
Because of their treehouse abilities, the productivity of each of their survivors is extremely high. As a result, the living area now has the prototype of a modern city.
But there are only about a thousand people living in this city.
"Yeah, please bring more people. I feel like they were too excited when they were building the city before and built it too big. Now it's like a ghost town." Jin Yue said as she packed away the cards on the table.
"By the way, where is Xu Xin? Why hasn't he come back?" Lou Feier looked towards the door, "It's already eight o'clock in the evening. Does he want to stay up all night?"
The sky outside the window was still very bright, making her words unconvincing.
"Ah, he was called away by Ji Chaoyang." Li Wenxi explained, "It seems to be because of the survivors living here."
"What happened?" Shi Wanyun asked.
"I'm not sure either." Li Wenxi shook her head.
"Then why didn't I ask you to go with me?" Zeng Tao asked doubtfully, "Don't you all have meetings together?"
"I don't want to go." Li Wenxi waved her hand, "I'm tired just taking them to the underground world to collect resources. I don't want to care about those things that are there or not. Let Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang go and hurt them. Brain.”
"That's right, it's impossible to take care of everything."
……
"So, that's what it is, what do you think?"
Sitting across from Xu Xin were Ji Chaoyang and Qi Xuefei.
"Well...it's definitely a good idea to hide it from them all the time. I think it's better to tell them the truth."
After the giant stone beasts arrived and took up residence, there were often people covered in downy hair outside the Crystal City.
They appear and disappear one by one, their movements are very neat, like well-trained scouts, and their hiding places are also very secretive.
It's a pity that time flows a hundred times faster in the World Tree. No matter how neat their movements are, looking out from the console of the World Tree, they can be seen clearly even if they are slowed down a hundred times.
Although a long time has passed inside the World Tree, only a few hours have passed outside the World Tree!
This situation occurred in just a few hours, which has to be alarming.
Xu Xin and the others asked the monster, and the monster told them that those low-level mutant humans covered with downy hair were all survivors who were eliminated after failing in the survival challenge, and some were directly picked from the living survivors. Captured.
Even the eliminated humans are still intelligent creatures after all, so the alien invaders "reused" them and turned them into the fluffy appearance they have now.
Although the appearance of a body covered with hair is unacceptable to humans, for alien invaders, the appearance of humans is much more comfortable than their own appearance.
It is precisely because of this that they turned the human beings who were not dead but were eliminated into this appearance.
"Some of those people originally worked for me and were assigned to the people in charge of each area. You should have seen them. But now that I have run away, all those hairy humans are under their control. ”
This is what the monster told them when they went to find it just now.
In other words, those guys with fur all over their bodies are the lowest lackeys of alien invaders.
"The alien invaders have sent people to monitor us." Ji Chaoyang said, "As for the reason, it should be what we thought."
The World Tree, the giant stone beasts, and...that monster.
The sum of these factors is enough for alien invaders to focus on this area.
But perhaps because there has been no trouble, there has been no movement outside the World Tree in the past few days.
"Our situation is really getting more and more dangerous." Xu Xin said thoughtfully.
"So, maybe we should tell the people living here about our real situation now." Ji Chaoyang looked out the window.
Although the survivors and people in the underground world already know the current situation here, and were more or less worried about alien invaders at first, under the development of force during this period, they all protected the World Tree one by one. Very confident.
Especially when the stone giant beasts came and Xu Xin and others claimed that these giant beasts were their companions, they became even more confident.
These days, after it was determined that the petrified creatures were harmless, those who did not want to live in the World Tree moved outside the World Tree, and many of them even became familiar with Changyin.
One by one, they felt that the development within World Tree was promising.
But Xu Xin and the others also had some things they were hiding from these people.
For example, the existence of monsters, such as...the suggestion made by monsters.
That, a proposal to drive alien invaders off Earth.
"I think, regardless of whether it is implemented or not, we should really tell them this plan." Qi Xuefei said, "This plan and the situation in which we are being targeted can make these people nervous again. They are too relaxed now. ”
After saying that, Qi Xuefei sighed with some distress: "Some of them have even started to ask me about pregnancy and childbirth. In our current state, they actually want to do such a thing."
< br>
...?
Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't this a situation that happened before? So did you tell them?"
"I'm not a gynecologist, how can I understand this kind of thing." Qi Xuefei shook her head helplessly.
"I think you are very understanding. Your medicine has helped us a lot." Xu Xin said with a smile.
If it weren't for Qi Xuefei's medicine, how could he and Li Wenxi dare to be so presumptuous.
"Is killing the same as life?" Qi Xuefei couldn't help but rolled her eyes slightly.
Xu Xin looked at Ji Chaoyang and raised an eyebrow slightly: "You two are living together, so you should..."
"Stop." Ji Chaoyang made a pause gesture with a black line on his face, "We are not talking about this kind of thing this time."
"Okay." Xu Xin spread her hands, "Then tell them something. To be honest, I have a hunch that it will be a matter of time before they come to eliminate us, and it should not be long before it happens."
"Yes, and as long as the opponent comes to attack, our passive defense will not help at all. We must shift the battlefield to attack the opponent's home base."
Although the size of the alien invaders' army has not increased for thousands of years, it is still very large. After all, it is a fleet traveling through the universe.
It is impossible to win a head-on confrontation. Even on defense, you are lucky to be able to hold on for a while.
"Tell them something. It won't be long before we have such a leisurely life." Xu Xin said.
……
Soon, the residents of World Tree all knew the current situation of World Tree.
Xu Xin and the others did not tell them the plan. The fewer people who know about this kind of home-stealing plan, the better.
Otherwise, the news will leak out in some way at any time.
They told them that the alien invaders were likely to attack World Tree collectively, and even told them that this kind of thing was not suspicion, but that there were already signs.
This caused an uproar among the group.
"Oh my god, will we be attacked by the space fleet?!"
"The fleet of alien invaders across the galaxy will attack us en masse?!"
"This, this, this..."
"No...it's not that exaggerated, right? Don't we just have a world tree? Aren't there many, many alien invaders?"
"This is no ordinary World Tree!"
"Then they don't know either..."
"Who said that? Maybe there is a traitor among us. This matter has been spread a long time ago. Isn't it said that alien invaders are the best at brainwashing!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't sow discord!"
"You are too unsure. How powerful our current weapons are! They are nuclear fusion weapons! Tell me who can withstand it!"
"Speaking as if there is nothing on the other side..."
"...I feel like we can't continue to be so decadent!"
"Yes, I have been so comfortable these past few months that I almost forgot that this is a world full of dangers."
"Mom, the ground is so dangerous, I want to go back underground..."
"Although I knew there was danger on the ground, I didn't expect... that it would be so dangerous!"
"A bit excited, what should I say? We now have enough weapons. If they dare to come, we dare to fight!"
"What are the expressions on each of you? Don't embarrass our Wei family!"
……
The motivational effect is very good.
Almost no one among the survivors complained. After all, although they had been living here carefree for several months, they were all the ones who finally survived the bloody selection.
They don't complain about danger. The people who complain about danger have long since died in previous disasters.
And the residents of the underground world rarely complain.
After all, they were members of the Wei family and a military family, so naturally they were not so vulnerable.
They came up to take back the surface.
Of course, some of their family members are still very worried and want to return to the ground.
But when Xu Xin told them that even the underground human base was no longer safe, they gave up the idea.
Xu Xin is not an alarmist.
Because there is a possibility that the current underground human base area has been exposed, and it is not small.
At the beginning, a large part of the survivors who were placed in the underground human base by the monsters returned to the surface.
After the monster "defected", those people are now on the side of the alien invaders.
Although Xu Ying has followed the monster's instructions and removed all the transmission devices in the underground world,...
Even if the alien invaders on the other side of the earth have nothing to do with these survivors and will basically not communicate with them, it will only be a matter of time before the underground world is exposed.
Information can always be spread in various ways.
By then, the underground world may not be safe either.
"I don't know how Yingying will fare when she goes to the underground world this time."
Xu Xin was walking back, thinking about it, and became a little worried about Xu Ying's situation.
"Humph, are you worried about me? I'll take action personally. What are you worried about, bro."
Suddenly, a familiar teasing voice came from behind Xu Xin.
He was startled and immediately turned around to see Xu Ying with a proud smile on her face.
"...You're back."
Xu Xin smiled, but then the smile on his face gradually faded.
Because this time, even he could faintly feel that something was wrong with Xu Ying.
It's an amazing feeling.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling he had when he traveled through time in the Crystal Palace and traveled back in time.
"...The degree of time and space disorder in you has deepened." Xu Xin frowned.
"Ah..." Xu Ying looked down at herself, then raised her head and smiled, "It doesn't matter, it will be fine in a few minutes."
"You..."
"Oh, let's go back and talk about it first!"
Xu Ying pushed Xu Xin into the villa in front of her.
"Ah! Yingying, you are back!"
All the girls in the villa stood up and gathered around.
"You've really been gone for a long time!" Li Wenxi sighed.
"Hehe, for me, it's only a few hours." Xu Ying said with a smile.
"Eh? How do you feel? You have a kind of..." Lou Fei'er looked at Xu Ying doubtfully, and couldn't help but touch her body, "A strange feeling?"
It seems that Lou Feier is also slightly aware of the chaos in time and space.
The one with the most exaggerated reaction was Coco.
The little guy was still on the first floor, but as soon as Xu Ying came back, he quickly ran to the second floor.
"嘤......"
At this time, its two little paws were holding on to the railing on the second floor and looking over here from a distance.
Xu Xin frowned again.
"What's weird?"
Xu Ying waved her hand nonchalantly, and then said with some excitement: "This time I went to the underground world, but I gained a lot! You will never expect it!" (End of Chapter)
