"So what should we do now?" Li Wenxi looked around and saw a completely dark empty room. "We can't get out for the time being?"
"How is that possible? Come with me."
Xu Ying pulled Li Wenxi's wrist, ran forward a few steps, and then...
Before Li Wenxi could react, she felt the scenery in front of her suddenly become distorted, followed by the familiar feeling of the world spinning and falling rapidly.
Then, a familiar scene appeared before her eyes.
She returned to the villa where she was before.
"Is this... teleportation?" Li Wenxi was a little surprised, but not too surprised. "Is there a teleportation point under that statue?"
In her opinion, Xu Xin would also teleport, and as Xu Xin's sister Xu Ying, who was a survivor of the previous session, would also teleport, which was a relatively normal thing.
"Teleportation point? Hmm... you can understand it that way." Xu Ying sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and collapsed on it. "Oh, although it was a bit dangerous to go out this time, it made me confirm some things."
"So?" Li Wenxi sat down next to her and looked at her with some dissatisfaction. "You understand now, but I am even more confused! Please explain to me, what is going on?"
"Well... This story starts from a thousand years ago, no, it should be seven hundred years ago..."
…
Since it has been decided to let Shi Wanyun inject the medicine, it is better to set off as soon as possible.
But before that, he had to make sure of one thing.
He asked Ah Fu to fly some distance into the air to verify how high the abilities of the mutant creatures could be affected by the Crystal City.
Soon Afu flew back and forth, and the response it brought was that when it flew to an altitude of about fifty meters, it could basically no longer feel the influence of the Crystal City.
Fifty meters
This height really made Xu Xin a little worried.
If the same is true for those flying mutant creatures, then they are in trouble.
However, a piece of information in Ah Fu's young heart gave him some ideas.
As we all know, bats have very poor vision. They hardly use their eyes to determine the surrounding objects, which is basically equivalent to blind people. They mostly rely on ultrasonic echoes to determine the distance of obstacles or prey.
As a mutant creature, Ahfu's vision is greatly improved compared to that of ordinary bats. But even so, it cannot distinguish between humans and animals beyond ten meters, and is completely unable to sense anything beyond twenty meters.
What Ah Fu meant in general was that when its eyes could no longer observe the bright white light emitted by the Crystal City, the influence of the Crystal City on it would drop drastically. This distance was about twenty meters. Then it would continue to rise to about fifty meters, and the influence would completely disappear.
If we consider it from this perspective, the influence of Crystal City will probably be greatly enhanced.
Most of the creatures in this world that can fly in the air are birds.
The vision of birds is not just a little bit better than that of mammals like Afu that live in the dark. Even compared to humans, the visual distance of most birds can be completely crushed.
After all, if a bird of prey flying in the air wants to hunt, it cannot do so without excellent eyesight.
This is the result of natural selection.
Therefore, if the indicator that affects the mutant creatures above Crystal City is whether or not they can see the bright white light, then they basically don't need to worry about the flying mutant creatures.
There is no way they can be immune.
Xu Xin directly sent this message to the explorer group.
Wang Lei: "If that's true, it would be awesome!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Can we just stand in the Crystal City and wait to catch the falling bird?"
Qi Xuefei: "I'm not sure yet."
Ji Chaoyang: "Well, we still need to consider the worst case scenario."
Qin Yunlong: "The worst case scenario is that a group of flying mutant creatures will come, and the mutant creatures will not be imaged by the Crystal City, and will not fall to the ground, and will attack the World Tree in groups? But in that case... it seems that we can't do anything."
Xu Xin was also slightly worried.
The number of the first batch of land mutant creatures is completely incalculable. If the same is true for the flying mutant creatures and they are not affected, they will be in a very passive situation.
The flexibility of flying mutants is much higher than that of ordinary mutants. Even with a crossbow that can attack from a distance, it is impossible to eliminate all flying mutants.
Moreover, now that Li Wenxi is not here, their resources are very scarce and they cannot afford the consumption of large-scale use of weapons.
At that time, I am afraid the only method that can be used is...
Wen Guixin: "Have you forgotten me again? If that happens, what you need to consider is to find a way to get a flying creature, let me infect it, and then let it fly up to infect those mutant creatures."
This is indeed the only method Xu Xin can think of.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Yes, then I will go out and see if there are any common flying creatures around that can be captured."
The worst-case scenario response method had been decided, and Xu Xin looked at the regional channel and alliance channel again.
So far, apart from the beast tide that they had suffered, other survivors in these two areas had not encountered any crisis.
This is the best.
"... When are we leaving?" Shi Wanyun, who was sitting on the side, became a little impatient and asked.
Zeng Tao didn't care about the conversation Xu Xin had just had with the other explorers. She was staring at Shi Wanyun intently to prevent her from suddenly running away.
"Now."
Xu Xin looked outside the window in the direction where Lou Feier and Keke left, but there was no sign of anyone.
On the map, the green light dot representing Lou Feier is already outside the Crystal City and is not moving much in an area.
It seemed that it would take some time for her to come back, so Xu Xin no longer waited for her and prepared to take Shi Wanyun to the crystal house which was only ten buildings away from the Crystal Palace to inject her with the medicine.
Of course, Zeng Tao, Mimi, and Yin Wang also went with him.
Zeng Tao was very cautious. The moment Shi Wanyun got out of bed, she immediately grabbed Shi Wanyun's wrist tightly to prevent her from running away.
"... You don't have to be so careful. I can't possibly run away." Shi Wanyun frowned slightly, "Be gentle..."
"Humph, you just said that too! I won't be fooled again!"
"That was a special case..."
After getting down from the tree house and walking a few steps, they arrived in front of the crystal building.
Seeing the crystal building, Zeng Tao said sourly: "Humph, I haven't even injected the medicine yet, you are really lucky."
She looked at Xu Xin eagerly and said, "There should be a share for me, right?"
"Of course I have." Xu Xin smiled helplessly, "Once this crisis is over, I will immediately inject you with the medicine."
"It's a deal!"
Xu Xin stretched out his hand and pushed the crystal door. Just like before, this crystal door that no one else could push open did not require him to exert any force. It was as if it had authenticated his genes. The light flickered slightly and then opened by itself.
Xu Xin walked in immediately, Zeng Tao pulled Shi Wanyun in as well, and Mimi lay down at the door and stood guard at the door.
There were four ordinary survivors around this crystal building. When they saw what Xu Xin and his companions did, they all looked over here with some curiosity.
"Did you see that?"
"I seemed to see Brother Xin walking into that room with two girls?"
"Damn, Brother Xin really knows how to enjoy himself, doing that kind of thing in the crystal house..."
"Ah, Brother Xin is actually such a person... Do I have a chance too?"
Several people walked closer and closer, wanting to come over and find out what was going on to satisfy their curiosity.
Mimi, who was guarding the door, suddenly stood up, opened her mouth wide and roared at the few people!
"Wow, it's the cheetah Mimi that Brother Xin raised!"
"For such a big guy, his voice is really cute!"
"Don't be fooled by the cute voice, I'll slap your head off with one slap!"
"It doesn't seem to let us get close..."
"That's bullshit! Do you let anyone get close to you when you do something like that?"
"Then let's go quickly. However, does this count as us getting the exclusive news?"
"Go, go! I want to tell everyone about this anonymously!"
Xu Xin in the room heard the noise outside, but without hearing amplification, he didn't hear it clearly.
He was now holding a small bottle of medicine and standing next to the injection device, while Zeng Tao had already grabbed Shi Wanyun's arm and put it into the injection device.
Shi Wanyun did not resist at all, and there was even a faint light flashing in her eyes.
"I don't know if this medicine is effective..." She was also feeling anxious at this moment.
From her perspective, this potion was obviously very useful to Lou Feier, but...
If it didn't work and her identity was exposed again, she would basically be finished.
If it was useless, she still couldn't resist those monsters, and Xu Xin wouldn't be able to tolerate her.
If it really comes to that...
Shi Wanyun bit her lip.
If it really came to that, she would tell Xu Xin the truth before she died. She was still a human being after all. Although her actions might cause those monsters to kill many survivors, but...
Thinking of this crystal city, and then thinking of the world tree...
At least Xu Xin shouldn't have any problems.
The other survivors were a mob, and even if they survived temporarily, it would be meaningless. It would be better to use their lives to help Xu Xin and his group.
Xu Xin and his people are the hope of humanity!
With such a resolute mood, her arm suddenly felt a sharp pain as if it was pierced.
"Hmm..." She groaned due to the sudden pain.
Then she felt a warm current flowing from her arms to all parts of her body.
The heat flow was so strong that it made her skin all over her body turn a faint red.
Xu Xin looked at her reaction and nodded.
Her reaction was basically the same as Lou Fei'er's at that time.
So the success rate might be very high.
"Wow... her wrist is so hot!" Zeng Tao said in surprise, "It feels like it's definitely over 40 degrees! Extremely high fever!"
Shi Wanyun felt very uncomfortable.
But she still cheered herself up and felt the changes in herself.
Then, her eyes slowly opened wide.
"Ha ha… "
The corners of her mouth curved up slightly, and although she was still breathing hotly, it was obvious that she was very surprised and in a good mood!
She raised the hand that was not held by Zeng Tao and grabbed Xu Xin's arm. She staggered forward and almost fell into Xu Xin's arms.
Xu Xin was still wary of her at this time, and immediately supported her to prevent her from getting too close. At the same time, Zeng Tao also pulled her away with force and asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do?!"
"I..." Shi Wanyun was almost pulled to the ground by Zeng Tao, but fortunately Zeng Tao pulled her up immediately.
"I am yours now..." Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin with gratitude in her eyes, "I will tell you everything I know..."
Before she could finish her words, her body went limp. If Zeng Tao hadn't held her back, she would have fallen to the ground.
"This... is the same as what Lou Fei'er did back then..." Zeng Tao helped her sit on the ground, and said speechlessly, "I thought she could tell us the situation directly..."
Shi Wanyun's expression was slightly painful at this time. The two mutated genes in her body were fighting each other, causing her body temperature to rise sharply. In layman's terms, she had a very high fever.
Xu Xin reached out and touched her forehead.
This temperature was much higher than Lou Feier's temperature at that time.
This is probably around 42 or 43 degrees, right
This is serious, don't get burned...
In this case, taking pills to treat the disease is of no use, and may even hinder the genetic medicine that has just been injected from suppressing the blood pattern mutation gene. So there is no way, she can only endure it on her own.
"It's not a big problem." Xu Xin stood up. "Lou Fei'er was only weak for an hour or two. Hers might take longer, but..."
He looked at the sky outside the house.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening and the sky had become completely dark.
He glanced at Shi Wanyun again, whose expression was slightly painful, but whose brows also showed a hint of relief and ease.
You should be able to trust what she just said, but you still have to be careful.
"If she wakes up soon, she will wake up today. Take her back to the tree house and watch over her. If she wakes up, notify me immediately."
"good!"
Next, just wait for her to wake up.
…
Li Wenxi sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the ground.
"That's basically all I know. This is the truth of this world." Xu Ying concluded, then picked up the water cup and took a sip of water. "Well... I'm finally done. I'm so tired."
"This..." Li Wenxi raised his head, still staring at her blankly, "What you said is too... unbelievable, right?"
"I knew you didn't believe it." Xu Ying curled her lips, "That's why I brought you here. I told you the truth after you saw everything, so I don't have to waste my breath."
Indeed, it is true…
If she hadn't seen what was happening outside, she probably wouldn't have believed such outrageous words.
But now, I have to believe it.
She sighed, accepted this statement, and looked into Xu Ying's eyes.
“…Now that you’ve told me everything, what should I do now?”
