Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 512: The future and the past, the truth of the world! (6200 words!)

Views:

For some reason, when he heard the voice, he did not feel surprised, but rather very calm.

Perhaps he already had an expectation of the current situation in his heart.

"The fact that my future self can reach here means that I have already lived in this world for a while."

His own voice sounded again from all directions.

"Are you my past self? How long ago were you?" Xu Xin tried to ask.

However, the voice did not answer, but continued: "In my future self, you should have lost all your memories now, because this is my own choice."

"I guess you are very confused about the current situation, but before I explain, you need to answer a question."

At this moment, a question and two options suddenly popped up in front of him.

Do you have the strength to fight against a single blood-marked beast

Got it!

I'm still too weak...

The appearance of his own voice did not surprise him, but the options that suddenly popped up in front of him made him suddenly confused.

What's going on

Options

Is it... um... something left behind by his past self

Judging from what happened just now, this past him was not a person with whom he could communicate, but rather just a voice left behind by some means.

This is normal.

After all, there can only be one person in existence, how could there be two of him at the same time

He did not doubt whether this voice was his past self. For some reason, he accepted this from the bottom of his heart.

This voice came from his past self.

but…

What is going on here

Why…

"Asshole brother, hurry up and make your choice. Don't waste time. We will tell you everything you want to know!"

At this moment, another voice sounded from all directions, causing him to open his eyes wide.

“Yingying?!”

He was completely shocked.

How could he hear Yingying's voice here? !

Shouldn't Yingying be on Earth? !

He clearly just met Yingying

"Yingying, why are you here?!" Xu Xin asked immediately.

However, no one responded to him, and the surroundings fell into silence again, leaving only the purple-black starry sky around him and two options slowly floating up and down in the air.

Was Yingying's voice also retained after recording

…That’s right, it must be because he didn’t make a choice for a long time, so Yingying’s reply was automatically triggered.

His mind was in a mess again.

Taking a deep breath, he stopped thinking and simply reached out and clicked on the option floating in the air.

Got it!

With the tree house and various weapons, he does have the strength to fight against the behemoth, there is no doubt about that.

He was eager to know what the situation was like now!

The moment he clicked, the Chinese characters that made up the question and options floating in the air exploded in the air, turned into starlight and dissipated in the surrounding purple-black.

"You're awesome, brother! You can actually fight against the giant beast!" Xu Ying's voice rang out again.

"Yingying, stop making trouble and record something useful!" His own voice sounded again, "We can't keep the device running for long!"

"cut… "

Then, the sound rustled in his ears for a while, and his own voice sounded again.

"I already understand the situation. What about the second question?"

The question and options appeared before my eyes again, this time, it was one question plus three options.

Have you ever really been to the underground world

Of course I have been there!

No, I just saw it from a distance.

Underworld? What is that…

Xu Xin was still confused, but when he saw these three options, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

I’m afraid the text in this option was not set by Yingying. There is quite a lot of drama.

These three options are interesting though.

If he chooses "Of course I've been there!", it means he has been to the underground world.

Select No, I just saw it from afar. It should be about looking down at the underground world from the location of the gold treasure chest during the jungle exploration activity.

He chose the Underworld? What is that? That means he didn't even get the Golden Treasure Chest.

Among these three options, does one first ask about his starting strength as a survivor in this world

He reached out and selected the Of course I've been there! option.

"Third question."

Have you ever been to the back side of this planet

Been there!

How is it possible to have been that far away

Huh? Isn't the world flat

The text of this option must have been edited by Yingying...

But... the back side of the planet

He thought of Shi Wanyun.

He had indeed not been there, but Shi Wanyun had.

But he hasn't gotten any useful information from her so far.

so…

He reached out and clicked on the option. How could he have been there before

"Okay, I understand your situation now."

His own voice came again from all directions.

"I need to understand your understanding of the world, that is, my future self, before I can decide what to tell you. Otherwise, if you know things that you shouldn't know at this stage, you will only suffer a catastrophic disaster. So, let me ask you one last question: are you sure what you just said is true? Don't lie."

Sure!

I want to reselect...

The voice was very serious. After all, it was his own voice. Xu Xin could clearly understand that he was not joking!

If you lie, there might be big problems.

But he wasn't lying.

Xu Xin immediately clicked OK.

"Are you sure? Are you really not going to change it? Brother, don't do that! Our future is in your hands!"

This is Yingying's voice.

… Is it really that serious? What can knowing some of the truth bring him

But he didn't lie and clicked OK again.

Suddenly, the options in front of me emitted a dazzling white light!

Then, when he frowned, squinted his eyes, and subconsciously reached out to block his sight, these glaring fonts suddenly exploded in front of him!

Then, before his eyes, these bright white lights gradually constructed some objects in this space.

Crystal tables and chairs, some... machinery he had never seen before? And... two people.

It was himself and his sister Xu Ying.

This set has a full sense of technology and looks really pleasing to the eye.

… holograms? Or virtual reality

In front of him, he was wearing a strange outfit, and standing next to him was his sister, Xu Ying, who was also wearing strange clothes.

He had no impression of the clothes, but he was very familiar with the headdress he wore.

Isn’t this the headdress of the human-faced statue that looks exactly like him!

Surrounding them was a room made of crystals that emitted a bright white light.

…Isn’t this where he was just now, the third floor of this palace

He wanted to move forward to take a closer look, but there was a repulsive force in front of him that gently kept him away, preventing him from getting closer directly. He could only stop about three meters away from the two people.

"Hello, future me." The image of Xu Xin smiled slightly and waved at him, "Can you see it?"

"What's the point of asking that? You can't hear the answer!" Xu Ying beside him complained, "Why are you talking to a machine?"

Yingying, you...

Looking at the image of Xu Ying, Xu Xin showed a look of surprise.

Why does Yingying look... much more mature

Her face, height, and figure have all grown a lot. She doesn't look like the 16-year-old Xu Ying he is familiar with. Instead, she looks like... she is ten years older

Now she even looks a bit like her sister!

Wait... this image of himself seems to be much older!

I think he is the future Xu Xin!

"That's what I said, but there should still be a sense of ceremony." Image Xu Xin rubbed his temples, "Can you be quiet for me? Or you can say it?"

"... You decide." Xu Ying sat down on the crystal chair next to her and started fiddling with her fingers.

…Is this little girl’s temper so good

"I already know your situation. This image is a special influence tailored to your situation. It will help you get out of your current situation." Image Xu Xin glanced at Xu Ying beside him, then looked in his direction and explained.

Get out of your current situation

Xu Xin frowned and concentrated deeply.

What on earth was he trying to say? What was going on

At this time, the image of Xu Xin spoke.

His first words made Xu Xin's heart shrink suddenly.

"This world is not some other world. Under your feet is still your home planet, the Earth."

ha

Is this Earth

You said this strange planet is the Earth

So what was the world he just returned to

Isn't that the Earth

"However, this is not the era you and I live in. The time and space you are in now is the Earth thousands of years later." The image of Xu Xin said these very shocking words lightly.

Xu Xin was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly and his eyes slowly widened.

What?!

Earth Thousands of Years Later?!

"…Is this a setting from some science fiction movie?" Xu Xin murmured.

"Thousands of years ago, a huge disaster occurred on Earth." The image Xu Xin spoke.

He began to narrate what happened in the world one by one.

Thousands of years ago, life from a distant galaxy leaped in and attacked the Earth.

The technology controlled by these lives is incomparable to that of humans on Earth, and the one that has the greatest impact on the Earth is the mutation rays.

This is a kind of ray that can cause directional mutations in living things. At that time, this ray irradiated the dark side of the earth that was not illuminated by the sun.

In the darkness, countless lives illuminated by the red light mutated.

Animals in the sea, on land, and in the air, and even plants and fungi, all underwent mutations that were completely unimaginable to humans at the time.

Their bodies began to be covered with blood lines, and their physical strength and speed were extremely enhanced!

“The disaster that year is still shocking when I think about it now. That year, I had just turned 30, and Yingying was already 23 and had graduated from college,” explained Xu Xin, who is still under the influence.

Xu Xin was suddenly even more confused.

Then who is he

The self in the video is already at least thirty years old, so who is the younger self

… Could it be some younger clone

"Hey? Wait!" In the video, Xu Ying, who was beside Xu Xin, suddenly had bright eyes and interrupted, "The brother who is watching the video now should be younger than me, right? Right!"

"Haha, call me sister, you stinky brother!"

"You are rebelling!"

Xu Xin gave Xu Ying a hard blow on the head, but Xu Ying did not resist as he had imagined. Instead, she covered her head, muttered something, and sat back in the chair.

Xu Xin: “…”

What the hell

Can you be serious?!

Could you please tell me quickly what the situation is

"Strictly speaking, you are actually me when I was young and had not experienced the disaster, but the time and space you are in now is the future, so it is not wrong that you are me in the future."

… When did I become a riddler

The image of Xu Xin once again slowly told him everything he wanted to know.

Thousands of years ago, the earth was devastated.

The entire hemisphere fell completely overnight, and the other half of the sphere was attacked by mutant creatures and had no power to fight back. It was completely defeated within a few days.

If it was just an invasion by alien creatures, then the humans on Earth would not necessarily be so embarrassed and vulnerable if they united.

But these alien creatures have never shown up from beginning to end.

They are using the original creatures on this planet to destroy and occupy this planet!

Countless human military bases were targeted by large mutant creatures illuminated by the light. Within a few days, humans lost most of their weapons for self-defense.

What scares humans the most is not tigers, lions, or elephants, but groups of mutant flying insects, reptiles, mice, and various small creatures...

Relying on their huge numbers and small size, they are omnipresent, and coupled with their strengthened bodies, humans have no room to hide or fight back!

Wherever there are people, there must be these things!

Humans in peacetime are unable to eradicate ordinary mosquitoes, rats, and cockroaches, and it is even more impossible to drive out these stronger mutant creatures in wartime!

If larger mutant creatures like brown bears, tigers, lions, and wolves are meant to disarm humans, then these flying insects and rats are an extinction-level attack on the human race!

In addition, the viruses and bacteria they carried also underwent genetic breakthroughs, which directly led to the relatively strong immune system that humans had originally built being easily broken through. Large numbers of humans died wildly within a few days of the disaster.

Under such an offensive, there is no concept of national strength. Even if one is in a high position, one will have no ability to protect oneself at the moment of disaster.

Those who can survive are one in a million, super lucky ones.

"It's me!" Xu Ying, who was sitting on the side, raised her hand. "My brother and I are both super lucky, but..."

Her eyes dimmed slightly: "Among the people I know, only the two of us survived."

Xu Xintong's body began to tremble.

In other words, his parents, friends, and relatives, all...

Then he shook his head.

He didn't quite resonate with it; after all, this wasn't what happened to him.

To him, this should be something that will happen... in the future

What the hell... so messy...

Moreover, the difference between what they just said and what Chang Yin had told it before was quite large.

First of all, the timing is not right.

Chang Yin clearly said that this world was only fifty years away from the catastrophe, but the man in this image actually said that a thousand years had passed.

Moreover, he seemed to have made no mention of behemoths or the mutated creatures growing in size.

The version Changyin described started with an invasion of giant beasts.

"The reason we survived is not because we happened to avoid the attacks of the mutants." The image Xu Xin explained softly, "but... those mutants didn't attack us at all."

"There are still some people like us scattered all over the world. We are the humans chosen by those alien creatures. Our role is to rule this planet after they completely invade the Earth."

Similar to a post-war puppet regime

Xu Xin became even more confused, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen.

"How old do you think I am this year?" Image Xu Xin pointed at his own face and said with a smile.

How old are you

If one only looks at the face, the self in the video doesn’t seem to be much different from the current purple level.

It is the appearance of a young person between the ages of 20 and 30.

Xu Ying beside him had a similar feeling.

But he also said that he was already thirty years old when the disaster happened. Considering his current appearance and experience, he must have experienced a lot. Therefore, his real age in the image should be much older than thirty.

"My face will no longer age, and my life span is also very long. You, who are in the future, should know the reason very well."

… I won’t age anymore, so my life span is very long, right

It can't be wrong.

Mutations.

The lifespan of mutant creatures is very long, as can be seen from Mimi. After being imprisoned underground for so long, she is still full of energy.

"It's just as you think. Strictly speaking, what you see is no longer normal human beings. Our genes have long been mutated. Our physical abilities have also become very strong because of this."

Video: Xu Xin picked up a piece of crystal beside him and squeezed it. After he let go, obvious handprints appeared on the crystal.

"Hiss..." Xu Xin took a breath of cold air.

This crystal, which even a purple-grade steel weapon could not damage in the slightest, was actually easily made into a handprint by the person in the video?!

Putting down the crystal, the image Xu Xin spoke: "What happened later was that in order to make us obey, this group of alien creatures adopted a carrot-and-stick approach. After they injected us with a more advanced mutation drug, we had to obey them, but in return, they also gave us some of their technology."

"It was indeed far beyond Earth's technology, which shocked us at the time and gave us a deep sense of powerlessness. Coupled with the effect of mutation, we were mentally unable to disobey them and even fanatically chased them. This was a characteristic of the mutation they were studying. Therefore, most people directly chose to follow them."

Fanatical following...

He has also reaped the benefits of this trait.

Lou Feier, Ma Hongwei and others are still being mentally controlled by him in a similar way.

"However, there are still a small number of us who are not affected by this subjective influence. Although we cannot disobey their orders, we resist them in our hearts and hate them to the point of madness."

"They are the enemies who killed our relatives and destroyed our homes." The eyes of Xu Xin in the image narrowed and his voice became low.

But then he recovered and continued, "Yingying and I are two of them. It's easy to distinguish our group from that group. People who are completely controlled will be in a very excited mental state, and will obviously give people a feeling of... a little stupid?"

A little silly

Fortunately, Lou Fei'er and the others did not become stupid... However, their mental strength decreased a lot after the mutation.

"We quickly gathered some trustworthy people. According to the information we obtained, after they invade a planet, they will only leave a few people to supervise the situation. So, we plan to make further plans after their main force leaves."

"But for some reason, they did not evacuate collectively as we imagined. Instead, they focused their observation on this place, the Earth! They seemed to have discovered a power on this planet that they were unaware of and that they wanted to control."

An unknown force that you want to control

…Blood of giant beast

This is talking about the bloodline of the giant beast!

But just now, in the story told by Xu Xin in the video, there didn't seem to be any mention of the giant beast's bloodline.

What is this…

"It's the bloodline of the giant beast." The image Xu Xin smiled, "You should have come into contact with the giant beast a long time ago, right? The giant beast in your timeline should have appeared a long time ago, and by now, it should have developed very well."

… What on earth was he talking about? Xu Xin was completely confused.

"Let's continue talking about our business. Although those alien creatures have not retreated en masse, they have gradually relaxed their control over us. After all, we have mutated and are nothing more than obedient slaves in their eyes."

"Also, although they have invaded many planets, most of the planets around the solar system and even within the Milky Way do not have intelligent life. The life on the planets with intelligent life is mostly uncivilized. They think this is an inferior galaxy and completely look down on us. They are basically not on guard against us."

“So, we were able to do some of the things we could do.”

"Brother!" At this moment, Xu Ying, who had been sitting in the video with her chin in her hand, suddenly interrupted him.

"We don't have much time. They are coming soon! We still need to record the next video. Let's not go into so much detail. Just tell this young brother about his current situation. It doesn't matter if he knows the rest!"

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched and his teeth felt a little itchy.

Yingying, even though you are older than me in the video, I still want to teach you a lesson...

"Oh, right..." The image of Xu Xin shook his head, "You don't know what's on the back of the planet yet, so you really can't know too much. Otherwise..."

What will happen

"I won't say more. After that, we quickly developed a new mutation potion that neutralized our own mutations and completely got rid of their control."

"About 367 years later, the hidden team with me as the core, with the help of their technology and clearer minds after mutation, finally invented the device we need most. A device that can truly change our destiny and the destiny of the world."

How many years

Three hundred... How many years?!

"Time machine."

… ha
