Outside the Crystal City, the mutant creatures were completely defeated in an instant.
The mutated creatures turned against us like a wave, and the situation was in complete chaos.
In order to eliminate the mutant creatures around Crystal City more quickly and thoroughly, Wen Guixin rode on an infected mutant creature and rushed directly to the other side of Crystal City.
She plans to have more flowers bloom around Crystal City.
"Hey, you..."
Before Xu Xin could call out to Wen Guixin, she had already run away.
He shook his head helplessly.
From his perspective, the groups of mutant creatures around Crystal City were already showing signs of retreating.
What happened here has affected the entire group of mutant creatures surrounding Crystal City.
On the map, the red dots around Crystal City have shown a tendency to spread outwards. They seem to have begun to retreat and no longer intend to attack.
By the time Wen Guixin gets to the other side, the mutant creatures there may have already disappeared.
He called Wen Guixin to inform her of the situation, and the response she got was that she would go over and give it a try.
Let her try. Killing more mutant creatures will be a good thing for the security around their Crystal City.
"Isn't this a bit too strong..." Lou Feier blinked and looked at the beasts outside that had almost all been defeated, as well as the mutant creatures in the distance that began to flee in panic after realizing the situation. Her mouth was unable to close for a long time.
Jin Yue was so surprised that she was speechless.
"Her ability is extremely strong for the beast group." Xu Xin looked outside.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
After truly witnessing this ability, the shock is imprinted directly in my mind and lingers for a long time.
No wonder Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan were immediately impressed by Wen Guixin. Anyone who saw this would be shocked.
Lou Feier had an envious expression on her face: "Isn't this ability invincible? This is too strong..."
"She's not invincible. Her abilities are limited." Xu Xin said.
"… It has no effect on particularly strong individuals." Jin Yue suddenly said, "Her ability is very effective against a group of beasts, but if it is a powerful giant beast…"
"That's right," Xu Xin nodded, "If it's a giant beast, her ability will have no effect."
Wen Guixin had said before that if you want to control a giant beast, you need to be in contact with it for more than ten minutes, or even several hours. And if you want to completely infect the soft giant beast in the underground world, it may even take several days.
This is basically meaningless. Let alone more than ten minutes, it would be difficult to use your body to make contact with the giant beast even for one minute.
"That's right, it seems that he is not very strong." Lou Feier suddenly felt a lot more balanced.
However, if a giant beast comes with its herd...
Maybe it will work wonders
First infect the beasts, and then let the infected beasts besiege the giant beast, so that the giant beast will be infected in various ways for a long time, and maybe you can really infect a giant beast in the end.
Xu Xin shook his head. Wen Guixin must be much more clear about this aspect than he was, so he didn't need to think about it.
He looked outside the Crystal City again.
Outside the Crystal City, the infected mutated creatures have also reached the end of their lives.
Because the toxins are irreversible, these mutated organisms have no chance of survival.
They fell to the ground one after another, wailing. As their shiny hair began to become dull and their strong bodies began to shrink, the wailing became weaker and weaker.
Just like when the infection spread, the fallen mutant creatures also fell one by one from the inside out, like dominoes, falling down in a row.
"This... died so soon?" Lou Feier widened her eyes.
About ten minutes.
It’s really fast.
The first batch of infected mutant creatures to fall were no longer in animal form. Their fur had basically dried up and fallen off, and their bodies seemed to be hollowed out. The flesh under the skin had disappeared, leaving only skin wrapped around bones.
This appearance is even more terrifying than a skeleton with only bones left.
It is a pity that these wild beast carcasses cannot be used as a source of materials now that they are short of materials.
"What should we do with these bodies?" Jin Yue asked a more realistic question, "We can't just leave them here forever."
"This... we should not touch it, right?" Lou Feier shook her head, "I dare not touch it. If I get infected with this toxin, I am afraid I will become like them..."
Xu Xin nodded: "Well, let's wait for Wen Guixin to speak. She should have handled it many times before."
A map appeared in my mind.
Wen Guixin had already reached the other side of the Crystal City, and was several hundred meters away from the Crystal City.
The red dots over there have basically dispersed, but they did not teleport away like they came. Instead, they scattered throughout the jungle, making the entire jungle lively again.
They seemed to be looking for an opportunity to gather again and attack the Crystal City.
It seems that it is no longer safe outside Crystal City recently.
He took another look at the mutant creatures inside the crystal building.
These guys all seemed to have fallen asleep, and they didn't come out to take a look despite the loud noise just now.
It seems that the impact of Crystal City on them has indeed exhausted their mental and physical strength.
"Where's Coco?" He looked around.
This little guy is missing again
"Ying!" At this time, Coco climbed out from the window of a crystal building, ran to Xu Xin, and climbed onto his shoulders.
The little guy seemed to have been talking to those mutant creatures in the crystal house just now
"Okay, there's no danger here now, let's go back first."
…
In a magnificent bedroom.
Li Wenxi lay on a big bed that was big enough for four or five people to sleep on, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Xu Xin... How are they doing now..." She murmured, "Wow... If I had known this would happen, I..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Sister-in-law, it's me." Xu Ying's voice came from outside the door.
Li Wenxi was too lazy to get up from the bed: "Come in, the door is not locked."
The doorknob was turned, and the solid wooden door was slowly pushed open a crack. Xu Ying carefully poked her head in from outside the door, and seeing Li Wenxi lying on the bed, she immediately went into the room and closed the door.
"Um, sister-in-law, don't be angry..."
"Huh? I'm not angry."
"You are obviously angry. This is what happens every time you get angry..." Xu Ying muttered.
Li Wenxi turned her head and looked at her: "Have you ever seen me angry?"
"Hmm?" Xu Ying blinked, "Isn't this what we saw?"
“… If you can find a way to get me back, I won’t be angry anymore.”
"It's really not possible, sister-in-law!" Xu Ying sat down beside Li Wenxi's bed and explained with a bitter face, "I've said before, you are different from me, you haven't completely gotten rid of control yet. If you go out, those alien bastards will find your location based on your whereabouts! Then we will all be finished..."
Li Wenxi sat up and glared at her: "So why didn't you tell me when you brought me here!"
"Wuwu... I told you that you would definitely not come..." Xu Ying looked aggrieved, and she grabbed Li Wenxi's arm and shook it twice, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law, I have given you the best treatment here. You eat and live here better than me."
Seeing Xu Ying like this, Li Wenxi was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger.
Xu Xin's sister, Xu Ying, really looks like Xu Xin in every way.
Moreover, she is quite outgoing and I spoke to her in an acquaintance tone when I first met her. She seems to be a much more outgoing girl than herself.
If they were living an ordinary life in an ordinary world, a girl with this kind of personality would probably be able to quickly become good friends with her.
In fact, it is still the same now. Although the two have only known each other for less than a day, Li Wenxi feels that this girl knows her like her best friend of many years. She uses various means to make it impossible for her to get angry after being half-tricked here.
"By the way, sister-in-law, when I went up this time, I not only gave him your crystal bead, but also used your watch to contact my brother!" Xu Ying immediately changed the subject.
"… You've already been up there?" Li Wenxi was immediately drawn to his attention and asked in surprise, "So soon? It's only been a short while, I thought you were just getting ready to go!"
"No way, it's easy for me to go up. Once I find a way to solve your current problem, you can return to the ground at will, sister-in-law!"
Li Wenxi actually enjoyed the fact that Xu Ying kept calling her sister-in-law.
"So what? What's the situation with Xu Xin?" Li Wenxi asked hurriedly.
"Well, it's like this..." Xu Ying told Li Wenxi about her experience on the ground without reservation.
She felt somewhat guilty about having tricked Li Wenxi here. She would basically do anything to satisfy Li Wenxi, which was why she took the risk of bringing news about Li Wenxi to Xu Xin.
"Is that so..." Li Wenxi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "The functions of the Crystal City are really that powerful. That's good. I was afraid that without my resources, they would not even be able to protect themselves..."
As she said this, she glared at Xu Ying again, a little angrily.
"How could I not consider this aspect!" Xu Ying immediately complained, "I have been holding back until now, waiting for that Crystal City to be discovered by my brother and until your departure would not have much impact on them, and then I brought you back! How could I possibly want my brother and the others to die!"
"So, now you can tell me why you know so much, right? If you don't, don't even think about me helping you."
As he spoke, Li Wenxi got off the bed, stood up, walked to the window and looked out.
Although she had seen the scenery outside many times, it still made her tremble every time.
She now lives in a five-story detached villa, and her bedroom is on the third floor of the villa.
The villa has a large yard, planted with various ornamental flowers and plants, and has facilities such as a swimming pool and a pavilion.
Very high-end residence.
She looked up and forward.
It was a scene that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
In the distance, the high-rise buildings and the extremely modern elevated highways made her almost think that she had returned to her original world.
If she hadn't looked up and seen a crystal stone emitting a bright white light instead of the sky, she would really have thought she had returned to her original world.
Here... is the underground world.
The city where Li Wenxi is now is a megacity located underground, and its area is even comparable to a small country on Earth back then.
Of course, considering that the surface area of the earth has expanded a hundred times, the area occupied by this city is really tiny.
Otherwise, the last branch of mankind would not have been born over the past thousand years and has not been discovered yet.
Xu Xin guessed correctly. Li Wenxi's current location was the same location as the surviving human beings.
When talking in the tree house, Xu Ying had already told Li Wenxi the truth about this world. Now Li Wenxi already knows that this is the Earth a thousand years later, and also knows their current situation.
The city's development has been smooth.
When the site was originally chosen, the city was located in a location with abundant resources.
The rich mineral and oil resources brought in many different kinds of arable animals. The cultivable grain and oil crops also grew rapidly under the illumination of the crystal dome. The underground city was full of vitality at the time.
Relying on abundant resources, over the past thousand years, the population of the underground city has doubled every hundred years from the initial 100,000 people.
Today, there are hundreds of millions of people.
When Li Wenxi heard this number, he was stunned.
While she was still shocked by the news that this was a world where humans had become extinct thousands of years later, Xu Ying told her that there was a human branch underground with a population of over 100 million!
This can no longer be called a branch. You have to know that until the Song Dynasty, China had never had a population of over 100 million! This can already be said to be a very prosperous civilization!
She really didn't expect that a branch of humanity lingering underground could develop to this level!
But on second thought, with thousands of years of history, abundant resources, and no invasion detected, it would be abnormal if they did not develop.
Of course, the technological gap also has a great impact on development. At least a thousand years have passed, and she has not felt that the technology in this underground world is much more advanced than her time.
It's basically the same as it was a thousand years ago.
However, a large population is a huge burden.
Xu Ying told her that the resources of this underground human world were almost exhausted, and the rate at which hundreds of millions of people consumed resources was too fast.
The crystal blocks on the dome that were emitting bright white light have now basically exhausted their energy and are much dimmer than they were in the past.
The consequence is that not only will the growth rate of crops be greatly slowed down, but the crystal blocks themselves will probably not last for many more years and will become completely dim within a hundred years.
In other words, if this group of humans does not return to the ground, they will be extinct within a hundred years!
The few upper-class humans who knew the secrets of this world began racking their brains to think of ways to return to the ground.
But now that resources have been exhausted, even returning to the ground is almost impossible, not to mention the almost irresistible danger once you go up.
Of course, bringing Li Wenxi here was just Xu Ying's own idea.
Li Wenxi is able to discover metal mineral resources, and her arrival can relieve the current pressure.
"Because I have a special identity! In fact, I am not familiar with the people here, but they should listen to what I say." Xu Ying raised her lips with some pride and said, "Sister-in-law, you must not know what I represent here!"
"Your identity is indeed different..." Li Wenxi has now set his sights on the most conspicuous landmark in the entire city.
The strangest thing in the whole city is not the crystal roof that can be seen by looking up, which can illuminate the whole area as bright as day, but...
In the center of the city, there are two giant statues whose height is as high as the surrounding high-rise buildings!
"Why are those two statues outside the statues of you and Xu Xin?" Li Wenxi pointed at the statues outside and turned back in surprise, "I saw them after you left. What is going on? Why did this city erect statues for you and Xu Xin?"
"Ah, this..." Xu Ying looked at the statue, her expression softened, and then her eyes dimmed slightly, she shook her head and said, "This is a long story."
