On the ground, Xu Xin has gathered all the explorers.
At the same time, Lou Feier, Zeng Tao, Jin Yue, Qin Fu, Ma Hongwei and others were also called over.
Everyone gathered in his tree house.
"It's so early now, I thought something had happened... but it's still so quiet outside..." Wen Guixin said while rubbing her still sleepy eyes.
"Yes, what's the matter, Brother Xin? I actually just went to bed..." Zhao Xiaochuan was also a little sleepy.
Qi Xuefei at the side also seemed less energetic, and her eyelashes were trembling.
It seems that no one slept well last night.
After all, this is a special period. Everyone had a lot to consider and do last night, so it is normal that we did not sleep well at night.
"We should conserve our energy, why do you all look like this?" Wang Lei was in high spirits, and was not very satisfied with everyone's appearance.
"It's just that I slept too late last night and haven't had a good rest yet." Qin Yunlong took out a blue-level orange and began to peel it. "It's not a big deal. I can solve it by eating an orange."
"That's true... But why did Brother Xin ask us to come here?" Wang Lei looked at Xu Xin.
"Brother Xin must have gone out last night and discovered something." Qin Fu leaned against the wall and smiled at Xu Xin.
He knew what happened last night and that Xu Xin found his sister, but as for other things, he really knew nothing.
On the side, Lou Feier was also looking at Xu Xin curiously.
After she left, she didn't sleep at all and kept thinking about Xu Xin's situation.
Beside her, Zeng Tao was nodding her head like a student dozing off in class.
Jin Yue did not sit down, but stood by the window, observing the outside.
It was already daybreak.
"I didn't sleep last night, and I saw you go out." Ji Chaoyang looked at Xu Xin, "What did you find outside?"
"That's right." Xu Xin organized his words and then told everyone present what Xu Ying had told him, as well as his own guess.
The expressions of the people present gradually changed as Xu Xin spoke.
Of course, in the process of narrating the story, he followed Shi Wanyun's wishes and did not reveal her abilities, but only said that this was Shi Wanyun's oral narration.
He also followed Xu Ying's advice and did not reveal the details of the underground human base.
However, at least judging from Ji Chaoyang's expression and eyes, he was probably just like himself and had already guessed about the underground base.
Finally, after Xu Xin finished telling all the information he knew, everyone fell silent.
The information obtained from Shi Wanyun's memory combined with the information obtained from Xu Ying, the huge amount of information made everyone present fall into shock and contemplation.
The first person to speak was Ji Chaoyang. He looked towards the tightly closed door of the second bedroom and said, "Shi Wanyun, you are in your tree house now. Are you sure that the information she told you was not mixed with lies?"
The others also glanced at Shi Wanyun's door.
"… I'm sure of that." Xu Xin nodded. "I believe our genetic medicine helped her get rid of control, and her story was also recognized by my sister."
"Is that so..." Ji Chaoyang nodded after thinking about it, "If I can get Xu Ying's approval..."
"Brother Xin, that can't be considered your sister, right?" Wang Lei scratched his head, then revealed an expression of great amazement, "She is hundreds of years old! Hundreds of years old!"
Xu Xin smiled and said, "As long as she calls me brother, she is my sister."
He knew that for Xu Ying, although he was not the Xu Xin who had originally formulated this series of plans, he was also the closest person to her in this world.
"I never thought that someone from that time and space could live from thousands of years ago to our time!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed in amazement, "She is actually Brother Xin's sister!"
"You can't say she lived to this era, right?" Wen Guixin, who was the farthest away from the others, retorted, "She just traveled through time a few times to reach this era. Her understanding of this time and space is actually not much better than ours."
"How can she not be much stronger? She has stayed in these millennia at several different points in time!"
Everyone was very interested in Xu Ying's existence.
Moreover, Xu Ying's presence was like a beacon in the dark night, making everyone feel a little relieved.
At least some members of that team are still alive!
This is really great news for them who know basically nothing about alien invaders!
but…
"… Yingying has not experienced the last fifty years, that is, the fifty years when the survivors appeared." Xu Xin calmed everyone down, "So, her understanding of the survivors' situation may not be as good as ours."
“This is really…” Everyone felt a little regretful.
According to what Xu Xin had just said, they all knew that although Xu Ying had the ability to travel through time, doing so would likely cause a very terrible butterfly effect and even cause the collapse of time and space.
So what’s past is past.
What a pity.
"I have another question."
Ji Chaoyang still looked towards Shi Wanyun's room: "Why doesn't she come out of the room to discuss with us?"
He kept asking questions to Shi Wanyun.
Xu Xin could understand his thoughts.
Xu Ying should have gained his trust, but Shi Wanyun still didn't.
"Is she afraid that we will ask her about her past?" His question became a little sharp.
Then he said to Xu Xin with a little apology: "I am not questioning your judgment, but we must find out whether what she said is true. Only if what she said to you is true, all your speculations can be established. Otherwise..."
Otherwise, they are likely to fall into the opponent's trap.
Now that they are facing a difficult situation, they must ensure that every step is correct.
Once a mistake is made, it will lead to an abyss.
Xu Xin really wanted to tell him that he had actually seen Shi Wanyun's memories.
This was confirmed by Xu Ying. After all, she had also seen Shi Wanyun's memory and told Xu Xin that this ability was indeed to record the surrounding memories as Shi Wanyun said, and it could not be modified by herself.
Therefore, Xu Xin now trusts Shi Wanyun very much.
The reason why I didn't let her out was not because I didn't want her to hear these things, but because after experiencing two memory transfers, her mental exhaustion had reached its peak.
She needs a good rest.
and…
"It's like this, she... doesn't trust you."
Xu Xin decided to express Shi Wanyun's concerns.
"Because she was once controlled by the other party, she believes that any survivor will be controlled like her and become a lackey. So... what she means is that she only trusts me."
This made others a little dissatisfied.
"What does she mean? It's good enough that we don't despise her for wanting to harm us in the first place, but she despises us?" Wang Lei was immediately unhappy, "This is outrageous."
"That's right. We have never been separated since we got together, and we all have special abilities. We must be part of the original team. How could there be a problem?" Zhao Xiaochuan also expressed his incomprehension.
Qi Xuefei also frowned slightly and looked at the tightly closed door of the second bedroom, then shook her head and said: "She has had such an experience herself, so it is normal for her to have such thoughts. And..."
Qi Xuefei glanced at Ji Chaoyang.
Ji Chaoyang seemed to be thinking about something.
He seemed to be considering the possibility of this matter.
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Chaoyang, you don't really think there's a traitor among us, do you?" Zhao Xiaochuan shouted, "Don't be provoked!"
"I'm just thinking about this possibility." Ji Chaoyang smiled slightly, "At present, it seems that the possibility is very small. So..."
He turned to look at Xu Xin and said to him, "We need to ask Shi Wanyun a few questions, otherwise, it will be hard for me to believe her. If what she said is true, then she should be able to answer my questions easily."
He is really cautious.
Indeed, it is not easy to gain the trust of a person who was originally controlled by the other party and indirectly caused the battle to defend the World Tree.
Just as Xu Xin was about to speak, the door to the second bedroom opened.
Shi Wanyun, who already had bags under her eyes, came out and said in a soft voice, "I will answer your question."
She had been listening in the house.
"Ah, you're in such a bad state!" Zeng Tao said in surprise.
She had seen Shi Wanyun in her normal state, and she was shocked by the dark circles under her eyes.
"… If you want to ask anything, just ask it now. After you ask, I will go back to sleep."
Shi Wanyun did not sit down, but stood behind Xu Xin.
It was obvious that she had no desire to engage in long conversation with the others present.
She is in really bad condition now.
Showing her memories to others was very draining on her mentally and even physically. And she had to relive the extreme fear she had felt back then, which was the ultimate blow to her spirit.
Not to mention that in order to confirm the monster's appearance and changes, Xu Ying asked her to recall the scenes when she saw the monster twice, which was simply torture.
Now she was like someone who had been tortured and just wanted to rest quickly.
It’s a pity that Xu Xin brought so many people into the tree house, and she had developed a habit of light sleep after coming to this world, so she was naturally woken up.
When she heard Ji Chaoyang say this, she walked out.
"Okay." Ji Chaoyang didn't waste any time and immediately asked Shi Wanyun a few questions.
Shi Wanyun also answered his questions one by one very easily.
Others also asked a few questions, and they were all answered by Shi Wanyun.
Ji Chaoyang's expression softened.
His questions were very tricky, but Shi Wanyun could answer them all.
And other people basically believed Shi Wanyun's experience.
"Have you finished asking questions? Do you have any other questions? If not, I'll go back to sleep." Shi Wanyun said softly.
"Go ahead." Xu Xin said to her.
"Yeah." She nodded slightly, turned around and walked back to the second bedroom and closed the door.
"How about it, do you believe it now?" Xu Xin asked Ji Chaoyang with a smile.
Ji Chaoyang nodded: "Well, at least I can't find any flaws. If she really has a problem, it only means that she is better than me, so it's normal for me to fall into her hands."
"Don't assume the worst about everything, Brother Chaoyang!" Wang Lei waved his hand, "I declare that Shi Wanyun is one of us! She is trustworthy!"
"What about us?" Qi Xuefei asked, "Are all of us here trustworthy?"
Wang Lei's expression fell: "Why do you say such things? This is not conducive to internal unity!"
"It's not good to keep it to yourself." Wen Guixin rolled her eyes. "Now that it's been brought up, let's resolve it quickly. Otherwise, it will always be a thorn in your heart."
"That's true. Hey, Brother Xin, why are you talking about this?" Zhao Xiaochuan said tiredly, "I've been thinking about this. I feel that the possibility between us may not be great, but for others..."
He pointed outside.
There is really no guarantee for those survivors who come for refuge.
"Let's make sure our own people are okay first. It doesn't matter if those people tell the truth. We don't share confidential information with them." Qin Yunlong suggested, "You say, we are all members of the original team. If Xu Ying sees us, will she feel familiar with us?"
Qin Yunlong pointed at his own face, and then pointed at the face of Qin Yunhu who was standing next to him without saying a word.
"If it is proven that we are members of that original team, then we should be the ones sent here by that organization. As such, we should be fine after being injected with the genetic drug, right?"
His suggestion made everyone else nod.
"Indeed." Xu Xin glanced at Qin Fu, who was standing by the window, thinking with his brows lowered. "Qin Fu has been recognized by Yingying."
"Hmm? Me?" Qin Fu raised his head, his expression slightly surprised, "Last night? But I don't think I saw her."
Zhao Xiaochuan and the others turned their heads to look at Qin Fu.
"Your sister has met him?" Qi Xuefei asked in surprise.
"You haven't seen him, have you?" Lou Feier glanced at Qin Fu with a hint of envy in her eyes. "After I came out of that cave, I took him with me."
At that time, Xu Ying clearly stated that she did not know Lou Feier, which meant that Lou Feier was not a member of the original team, which made her envy Qin Fu in her real name.
"His voice was heard, and with Yingying's ability, she might be able to see it. In short, Qin Fu was indeed a member of the original team, while Lou Fei'er and Shi Wanyun were not."
Lou Feier curled her lips when she heard that.
Zeng Tao, who had been silent because of sleepiness, came to life at this moment. She poked Lou Feier's waist with her arm and laughed softly, "Haha, you are not, so pitiful. I am sure it is!"
"You? Forget it. Which research team would hire you?" Lou Feier gestured at her height and patted her head. "You're so small and stupid!"
"I...I..." Zeng Tao wanted to refute, but she felt that Lou Fei'er had some truth in what she said, so she said, "Indeed... If you want me to study something, you might as well kill me... Then it seems that I might not be the one."
Jin Yue's expression didn't change.
She doesn't have any special abilities. She is just a poor person rescued by Xu Xin. The possibility of her being a member of the team is very small, and she has no extravagant hopes in this regard.
However, the possibility of Ma Hongwei is very high.
But Ma Hongwei didn't seem to be very interested in this matter. Even when everyone got together, he was still writing and drawing.
Judging from the drawings he drew, he seemed to be developing a new weapon.
"Neither Lou Fei'er nor Shi Wanyun possess special abilities, but Qin Fu does." Wang Lei concluded, "This is indeed consistent with our inference. It seems that we are still trustworthy."
Xu Xin was silent.
Although he did not think there was a traitor among those present, this inference was not valid.
Because... Shi Wanyun also has special abilities.
Xu Ying's guess is that Shi Wanyun was also a member of the original organization, but not from their research team, but from another team, so she was also implanted with a special ability biochip.
But what actually happened is still unclear.
Shi Wanyun's Area 1 was too far away from them.
As a member of the same organization, would I really be sent to such a far place
Xu Xin always felt that her special ability...
Maybe there is another hidden story, maybe... it is related to alien invaders.
