Shi Wanyun let out a breath slowly and began to explain the situation of the event.
"The survivors you just dealt with were indeed attracted by me, but it was not me who controlled them, and I have no power to control them." Shi Wanyun explained.
"Let me tell you the conclusion directly. The first group of mutant creatures that besieged the World Tree were actually teleported from an area other than Area 188. They were a group of beasts used for testing."
"They are controlled by the survivors from other areas, the survivors who are currently sieging the World Tree."
That being said, the siege of the World Tree by survivors from other areas is already underway.
Was the beast tide just now really an attack launched by the survivors from other areas
Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin with honest eyes, without the vague tension and anxiety she had before. Now, she looked more relaxed than ever before.
At the same time, her tone was softer and calmer than ever before, with a gentle smile on her face.
This seemed to be the first time Xu Xin saw her like this.
The first time he spoke to Shi Wanyun was when she was in trouble on the back of the planet.
At that time, she was in deep danger and weak, so naturally she would not be as relaxed as she is now.
I contacted her later, and then saw her in the underground Crystal City. At that time, she had been controlled by the mutant creatures on the back of the planet.
When getting along with her at that time, there was always a sense of disharmony, and it was this sense of disharmony that made Xu Xin always wary of her.
But she is very different now.
Although his body was soaked with sweat and his hair was a little messy, he had an obvious confidence and calmness.
Of course, this is not an arrogant attitude. She also expresses her friendliness and closeness to Xu Xin through her tone, eyes, and even subtle body language, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Unlike the first time I met her, this was a real, unforced affinity.
He subconsciously felt that what the person in front of him said was very convincing and should not be false.
If this was the girl he met in the underground crystal city, perhaps Xu Xin's vigilance would not last long.
Now, Shi Wanyun, who has broken free from control, seems to be the real her, the one who was a lone wolf and reached the top of District 1 on her own.
It seems that the previous control did limit her performance.
"They actually...really wanted to attack us!" Zeng Tao said angrily, "If District 188 hadn't helped them, they might not have survived until now!"
"... So, how did they control those mutant creatures to teleport here and besiege us?" Xu Xin decided to believe Shi Wanyun in front of him.
It was not only because Shi Wanyun in front of him made him feel comfortable, but also because he was confident in the potion.
Those who had been controlled for hundreds of years had relied on this potion to break free from control, so there would naturally be no problem in getting rid of Shi Wanyun's control.
"... Do you remember what I told you about the activity that the mysterious voice announced for the survivors in the outer zone?" Shi Wanyun responded, "I need to make some corrections."
“… As expected, you lied that time too.” Xu Xin understood.
"... I won't lie to you again." Shi Wanyun said softly, "But I didn't lie that time. What I said were the original words of that mysterious voice, but... I omitted some key information. I was unable to say this information at the time. I'm sorry."
Zeng Tao was not involved in that incident at the time. She just heard a little about it from Lou Feier and was a little confused.
But she didn't like to use her brain, so she pouted, ran to the side, sat next to Mimi and started petting the big cat.
Xu Xin was very interested: "What did you omit?"
At that time, Shi Wanyun told him that a mysterious voice told the survivors in other areas that when the World Tree was fully grown, the tree houses in other areas would wither directly, and only the survivors in Area 188 would survive.
The mysterious voice used this reason to let the survivors from the outer area besiege the World Tree.
"Apart from that, I know almost all the information about this event." Shi Wanyun pointed at Xu Xin's watch. "I said at the time that the mysterious voice provided help to the survivors in the outer area through the points mall, and this help was the key to their control of the beasts."
"It's a special tool that can be purchased from the Points Mall. It's called the Mutant Black Box. It only costs 1 point to redeem it. It can be placed next to the screen in the tree house."
"This tool allows the tree house screen to connect with special mutant creatures."
Xu Xin's eyelids jumped: "Special mutant creatures? Connected?"
"Yes." Shi Wanyun nodded gently. "The so-called connection actually means that the screen of the tree house can display everything that the mutant creature that is connected sees."
Can see everything that other creatures see...
There was a slight glint in Xu Xin's eyes.
This function sounds a bit familiar.
This was one of Chang Yin’s abilities in the underground world!
Changyin can see everything that certain special stone statues he has treated see through their eyes.
Moreover, it requires a special location and special equipment to be seen!
…What a coincidence.
Could it be that this event has something to do with Changyin
"In addition, they can also issue commands through the black box to control the special mutant creature that is connected in the tree house." Shi Wanyun continued, "The upper limit of the mutant creature that the black box can control is only one."
"Can I only control that one?" Xu Xin said to himself, "That means the mutant creature is..."
"Well, each special mutant creature is the leader of a group of mutant creatures."
Shi Wanyun nodded.
"The mutant group relies on this mutant to fight as a group, and the survivors in the outer area control the group indirectly by controlling this leader."
“…Is that really the case?” Xu Xin suddenly realized, yet was also slightly disappointed.
Before, he was thinking that if the alien invaders sent the survivors from other areas here, it would actually be a great help to him. He could just keep those survivors here and strengthen the human camp here.
After all, there is strength in numbers.
But now it seems that this goal is unattainable.
"As for how this group of mutant creatures were teleported here, I only know that it was the work of those monsters. As for how they did it, I have no idea. I only know that I am the coordinate of the teleportation destination."
The monsters she was talking about were probably the alien invaders.
By the way, she should have seen the true faces of those alien invaders, right
She glanced at Xu Xin and opened her mouth slightly, as if she was hesitating about something. Finally, she said, "And... in the original plan for the siege of the World Tree, the final destination of the transmission of those mutant creatures was actually where I was."
"Where you are..." Xu Xin was slightly startled, and then his expression changed slightly, "You mean, the center of Crystal City?"
When the mutant creatures attacked, Shi Wanyun was in his tree house, and his creatures were right next to the Crystal Palace in the center of the Crystal City, which was the center of the entire Crystal City.
"… That's right." Shi Wanyun nodded gently.
She looked out the window: "But... the fact is, the exits of those portals did not appear around me, but appeared outside the Crystal City a few kilometers away."
"All the teleportation destinations just happened to avoid the entire area of Crystal City, so the mutant creatures that were teleported here presented a situation that we did not want to surround Crystal City. The original plan was not like this. Originally, those mutant creatures were going to directly surround the World Tree."
Xu Xin understood.
After all, this event is the siege of the World Tree, not the siege of the Crystal City.
It would be better to set the teleportation destination directly inside the Crystal City than outside the Crystal City, but it is obvious that the other party cannot achieve this.
It seems that the Crystal City has made a great contribution again. If there was no Crystal City, the World Tree would be surrounded by the beasts and it would be in great trouble.
"At that time, I knew that the power of this Crystal City was far beyond my imagination. It is very likely that the power of those monsters cannot affect the interior of the Crystal City at all. This Crystal City may be a real pure land."
It seems that the power of Crystal City has exceeded Xu Xin's imagination.
This was also an important factor in Shi Wanyun's final choice of Xu Xin's side. She really saw hope here.
This hope is worth sacrificing her life and the lives of the survivors in other areas.
"Another point is that today is actually just a test run of the black box by the survivors in other areas." Shi Wanyun explained.
"And I don't know why, but after this beast tide receded, I received news that the activity would be suspended for one day tomorrow. No reason was given, and the survivors from other areas were just allowed to practice controlling themselves, and it would resume the day after tomorrow."
"That's why I just said that you might not be in danger tomorrow."
"But I can't receive any information now. I don't know if there have been any changes. I can't guarantee that you will be safe tomorrow."
This statement is really light and directly absolves oneself of responsibility.
But, will there be danger the day after tomorrow
When I was chatting with Ji Chaoyang just now, he did say that the prediction for tomorrow was very calm.
"That's all I know about this event. Do you... have anything else to ask me?" Shi Wanyun asked softly.
"I have it, I have it!" Zeng Tao, who had been listening at the side in confusion, raised her hand, "Can you still locate the other party now?"
"No more." Shi Wanyun shook her head, "I have completely taken back my body now."
"In that case, those mutant creatures won't be able to teleport over, right?" Zeng Tao clapped her hands and said, "Is that why they took a day off? Because they can't get over!"
"..." Shi Wanyun opened her lips slightly, not knowing what to say.
Xu Xin looked at Zeng Tao somewhat helplessly.
Why is this little girl's brain circuit always so slow...
Shi Wanyun explained helplessly: "First of all, when that mysterious voice announced that the activity would be suspended for a day, the beast tide had receded. At that time, I had not yet been injected with the potion and was still one of theirs, so I could still serve as a coordinate point."
"Secondly, since we've already determined the location once, there should be no need to determine it a second time. Even if we need to, the area around Crystal City is full of mutant creatures that have been teleported here, so it doesn't have to be me."
"Ahahaha... So that's it. I... I'd better not participate in the discussion. You guys continue, and I'll be in charge of the action!"
Zeng Tao smiled awkwardly, sat back and continued to stroke Mimi's tail, while muttering, "Why hasn't Lou Feier brought Coco back yet?"
Xu Xin turned his head and looked out the window.
Crystal City was brightly lit, but outside the city it was pitch black.
The activity was suspended for one day, probably because the activity came too hastily and was suddenly decided by the mysterious voice. In addition, the effect of the Crystal City was unknown and the other party did not dare to move forward rashly, which led to this situation.
But once they come up with a solution, they may not be able to wait until the day after tomorrow.
So, it is better to proceed with caution.
Xu Xin immediately sent this information to the explorer group and asked them to be prepared.
At the same time, he looked at Shi Wanyun again and suddenly laughed, "You really didn't say a lot of information before."
"… I know you will feel uncomfortable telling me this, but I want to show my sincerity." Shi Wanyun said softly, "Although it may not be of much help to you, I don't want you to find out about this in the future and accuse me of hiding it."
"If you can't accept it, you can vent your anger on me now, or kick me out, or kill me."
She looked at Xu Xin with a calm look in her eyes.
It was as if the one who was subdued and screamed before was not her.
… How did those alien invaders threaten her
Simply getting rid of control could actually cause such a big change in her.
However, this woman is still smart. She has not yet revealed the key information, and Xu Xin cannot do anything to her for the time being.
"How I deal with you depends on whether you can satisfy me next."
Xu Xin stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the skyline in the dark night.
Because the bright white light in the Crystal City was too bright, the skyline at night was almost completely invisible.
"What I want to know now is your experience on the back side of the planet."
"I will satisfy you." Shi Wanyun said softly, "I have been holding this matter in my heart for a long time, and now I have to speak it out. However, before that..."
She turned to look at Zeng Tao: "I want to ask her to leave first."
"Huh?" Zeng Tao jumped up on the spot. "What are you talking about? This is my tree house. Why should I leave?"
"… Then let's go to Xu Xin's tree house. I can only tell Xu Xin about this." Shi Wanyun insisted.
"You, you, you..." Zeng Tao's face immediately turned red with anger, "Why can't I listen!"
"I only trust Xu Xin."
"I still don't trust you! You and Xu Xin are alone together, who knows if you will suddenly attack and then run away!" Zeng Tao said angrily.
"I won't run." Shi Wanyun looked at Xu Xin and said, "If you are still worried about this, you can break my legs first, so you don't have to worry about me running away. However, I hope you can give me pills later to help me recover."
"Ah this..." Zeng Tao was immediately speechless.
"… That's not necessary." Xu Xin was also a little embarrassed, "It should be okay with Mimi here, right?"
Shi Wanyun looked at Mimi, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "No problem."
"Well, Zeng Tao, you go out first."
"I… "
"I'll make it up to you later."
"Well, you better keep your word!"
Zeng Tao glared at Xu Xin fiercely, then flipped out of the window. There was a "bang", and then she was heard walking away mumbling angrily.
"Okay, you can talk now." Xu Xin looked at Shi Wanyun.
Shi Wanyun felt that Zeng Tao had gone far away, and sighed softly. Her expression changed from gentle to somewhat weak, and she said softly: "Xu Xin, do you know how terrifying those monsters are? Just judging by their appearance, they are..."
Xu Xin saw that the fingers of Shi Wanyun's hands placed on her legs were trembling slightly.
He saw that her lips, which were dry from having said so much just now, were trembling slightly.
She was really horrified by it.
"Don't worry, you are out of control and it is safe here. Don't be afraid." Xu Xin said softly.
"... Yeah." Shi Wanyun exhaled slowly and returned to normal. "This matter started when I hung up your video and headed towards the other world tree on the back of the planet."
