It only takes one teleportation to get from the alley to Wei’s house.
As soon as Xu Xin opened his eyes, he was shocked by the steel behemoths in front of him.
In a vast non-open-air area, the foreground armed tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, fighter jets, etc. are spread out before your eyes.
That's right, it's tiled.
The distance between weapons and equipment is only a few meters, and they are neatly arranged. It looks very spectacular at first glance.
Xu Xin also saw a missile that was more than ten meters long on the chariot. For a moment, he felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to a thousand years ago.
Having lived here for so long, I have always been using cold weapons, and the only hot weapons I have are explosive crossbows and heavy crossbows.
Suddenly seeing so many modern weapons, even though he was prepared, his heart was still agitated.
This seems to be... underground? Or inside the mountain
"Are these all the armed forces of the Wei family?"
“嘤…?” Coco lay on Xu Xin’s shoulder, looked at a huge tank, and tilted her little head.
"No, this is just a part of it." Xu Ying led Xu Xin through the weapons and equipment. "I asked Wei Shishi to gather some of the weapons so that we can transport them upwards."
"I suddenly felt that our previous battles were just playing house..."
Xu Xin sighed as he looked at the huge armed equipment around him.
Perhaps only their ultimate weapons are qualified to be compared with these weapons.
"Don't underestimate yourself. The upper limit of the survivors' weapons production is much higher than these. These are weapons from thousands of years ago."
Thousands of years ago…
ah.
Yes, these weapons may not be called modern.
Thousands of years ago... it can even be called an ancient weapon.
"Has it true that in a thousand years, no stronger weapons have been developed?"
Xu Xin walked among these armed equipment and looked at them carefully.
These equipments were basically the same as the weapons he remembered thousands of years ago, with no major changes.
"It's more or less stronger than it was a thousand years ago, but not much stronger." Xu Ying patted a tank beside her. "Until a hundred years ago, this was a very peaceful world. They had no motivation to make weapons before."
"Also, there are geographical restrictions here. Although we also want them to quickly iterate their weapons, in this underground world, the highest point of the dome is only a little over 3,000 meters, and most places cannot reach this height. At this height, even fighter jets can't stretch their arms, let alone intercontinental missiles that could easily break through the atmosphere thousands of years ago. Therefore, the development of large weapons has almost stagnated."
As she said this, Xu Ying sighed helplessly.
"Although large-scale weapons have not been developed in the past thousand years, our personal weapons are much stronger than they were a thousand years ago."
At this time, a woman's voice came from not far away.
In front, a tall woman with a somewhat cold face and obviously haggard walked over.
"The firearms we have that individuals can carry are much more powerful than those thousands of years ago."
"Yes, indeed." Xu Ying smiled after seeing the woman. "In this underground world, developing personal armed forces is the right way. The types, power, functions, and ranges of firearms in the underground world are indeed much stronger than those a thousand years ago."
Xu Xin looked at the woman in front of him.
He looks about the same age as Li Wenxi, probably around twenty years old.
Perhaps we should call her a girl. A thousand years ago, this would have been the age for a girl to go to college.
But Xu Xin knew that the young-looking girl in front of him was the current head of the Wei family.
It was the owner of this steel behemoth in front of him, Wei Shishi.
"Shishi, I'm back with my brother."
"Your brother..." Wei Shishi looked at Xu Xin and smiled slightly, "Hello."
Xu Xin subconsciously activated his mind-reading ability, and immediately, Wei Shishi's voice rang in his mind.
Is this Xu Ying's brother? Sure enough... He looks exactly like the statue in the central square. But Xu Ying said that this is not the man that Grandpa saw that year, but another Xu Xin who is only in his twenties... Should we really leave the future of mankind in their hands? Can he... take us back to live on the ground
Unexpectedly, Wei Shishi thought of so many things the moment she saw him.
Fortunately, judging from her inner voice, she should be fine.
"Hello." Xu Xin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wei Shishi.
"I brought my brother here to... wait." Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin with a questioning look in her eyes.
Her meaning was very clear. She was asking if there was something wrong with Wei Shishi's inner thoughts.
Xu Xin made an OK gesture, indicating that Wei Shishi was fine.
And in front of him, there was a hint of doubt on Wei Shishi's haggard face.
What are these two talking about...
"Is it really okay? Then I will tell her our plan. After all, she is the boss of the underground world now." Xu Ying confirmed with Xu Xin again.
Wei Shishi's identity is special, so if she knows the plan, it will be much easier for Xu Xin and the others, but the prerequisite is that she herself cannot have any problems at all.
Xu Xin stared at Wei Shishi, causing the other party to frown slightly.
What does he mean
Why are you staring at me
Could it be that he is testing me
He is not the person who met grandpa, nor is he our god. He is about the same age as me, so what qualifications does he have to test me
I also think it is inappropriate to leave the fate of mankind to you!
grandfather…
The little animal on his shoulder is so cute, it even blinked at me!
What animal is that
… ? Why does he look so playful
Should I behave more appropriately
I really want to touch that little animal...
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, Wei Shishi has so much psychological drama.
You can't really tell from the outside. She has a cold exterior but warm interior personality.
However, her hasty appointment to the position of the head of the Wei family prevented her from expressing her emotions freely, so from the time I met her until now, she has always had a blank expression on her face.
"Hmm?"
Finally, Wei Shishi gave in and shifted her gaze slightly: "Has anyone ever told you that it's impolite to stare at someone all the time?"
Xu Xin smiled slightly: "Sorry, I lost my composure."
Then he turned to look at Xu Ying: "Don't worry, there's no problem."
"That's good, that's good."
Xu Ying immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she has always believed in Wei Shishi, she still needs Xu Xin to confirm.
After all, it's a serious matter.
Wei Shishi didn't know what the two were talking about, nor did she want to know, so she said simply, "You came here to move the weapons. I've already prepared everything. Here are these. If you can take them away, you can take them away."
"Don't worry, Shishi, it's like this, I brought my brother here because..."
As she spoke, Xu Ying took out the small device that blocked the sound, squeezed it gently, and blocked the sound.
Then, she recounted the situation on the ground and the purpose of Xu Xin's trip.
When Wei Shishi heard that there was a world tree on the ground where time flowed a hundred times faster, Tong Kongzhong was filled with shock and disbelief.
When she heard that Xu Xin had the ability to read minds, she suddenly looked at Xu Xin: "You..."
Reading minds!
How could he have such ability?!
"Of course I have this ability." Xu Xin smiled and said, "I can read your mind right now. You can ask me a few questions in your mind, and I will answer you."
Wei Shishi opened her mouth and then stared at Xu Xin.
May I have your name
"My name is Xu Xin, you know that, right?"
How old are you this year!
"I came into this world not long after graduating from college. I was twenty-two years old."
“You… you really can…!”
Wei Shishi's face slowly turned red. She pointed at Xu Xin, her mouth trembling slightly: "You..."
"Alright, brother, turn off your mind-reading ability." Xu Ying rolled her eyes at Xu Xin, "Does it make you feel good to read a girl's mind?"
"Aren't I just proving my own ability?" Xu Xin shrugged slightly, then turned off his mind-reading ability.
He doesn't like to activate this ability when communicating with people, not even when communicating with Silver King Mimi and others.
When mind reading is turned on, all targets within the range will be triggered.
These inner voices were basically very clear and he could hear them clearly, so they could not be treated as noisy ambient noise, which caused confusion in his head.
For example, just now, in addition to Wei Shishi’s voice, he also heard some other voices.
That man and woman are really our gods! They appeared here suddenly!
Are they here to take us back to the surface
I didn’t expect that gods actually exist!
Why can't we hear anything
What on earth did they say? Why did the Patriarch look like that? Could it be that these two people were going to harm him? !
A lot of people.
A lot, dozens at least.
This group of people were probably hiding in those armed equipment, and Xu Xin didn't notice them until he activated his mind-reading ability.
Come to think of it, as the head of the highest-ranking family in the current underground human base, how could Wei Shishi come alone to meet other people
Even if Wei Shishi herself is relieved, others cannot be relieved.
Especially now, the head of the Wei family has just been replaced and is still in a relatively turbulent period.
"Okay, I'll turn off my mind-reading ability." Xu Xin waved his hand.
“…Xu Ying, come here!” Wei Shishi directly pulled Xu Ying to the side.
"Ah... but..."
Xu Ying was pulled away by Wei Shishi. Before leaving, she winked at Xu Xin.
What she meant was to let Xu Xin take a look and see if there were any problems with the people around him.
Although she couldn't read minds, she could tell from her perception that there were many people hiding around.
Xu Xin nodded and began to walk around leisurely.
"Bing!" Coco raised her little paw and pointed at a chariot, "Bing, ing, ing!"
"I know Coco, there are people in there, right?"
"Bing!"
Coco nodded her head.
Xu Xin started the mind-reading mode again.
Sure enough, it was the voice coming from that car.
"Bing!"
“Oh my!”
Coco stretched out her little paw and pointed at the other two cars.
There were three large combat-ready trucks, each with people inside.
"Is it necessary to be so sneaky?" Xu Xin shook his head.
From their thoughts, one can basically tell that the reason is that Wei Shishi doesn't allow them to come, but they are too worried, so they want to come and see without telling Wei Shishi.
After all, some of these people are Wei Shishi's elders who watched Wei Shishi grow up. In their eyes, the current head of the family is still a child and needs their protection.
This Wei Shishi is still a group favorite.
However, it can be seen that the people who came this time should be considered Wei Shishi's confidants.
Xu Xin walked to a truck and knocked on the rear door: "I know you are inside, no need to hide."
So far, there seems to be nothing wrong with those whose minds can be read.
And he also needs to let these people come out in order to know which people can be mind-read and which cannot.
There was a whisper in the car first, and then the door at the rear of the car was opened.
A dozen fully armed strong men holding guns walked out.
They were all tall and strong, like a human wall. As soon as they came out, they were well-trained... and surrounded Xu Xin.
However, these people all looked rather reserved.
Some of the relatively young ones even looked a little excited.
After all, Xu Xin's face is very well-known in the underground world.
This is the face of the "statue of god" that has stood in their city center for a thousand years.
However, these people in front of him were well-trained soldiers after all. Even though they were excited inside, Xu Xin could even hear some of them screaming in their hearts, but they did not show it very obviously.
"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything." Xu Xin smiled, "I'm here to help you."
"When did you come?"
Wei Shishi's voice came from not far away. She saw the situation here and ran over directly.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"
"Master, we are worried about you. You have a special status now, how can you meet with others alone... After what happened to the previous master, how could we let you meet with others alone!"
One of them, who looked to be at least fifty years old, spoke earnestly to Wei Shishi.
At this time, Xu Xin looked around at these people.
Then, his eyes rested on one of them.
That person... He couldn't read minds.
"Oh?" Xu Xin raised his eyebrows slightly.
He actually found it.
If he really was a native of the underground world, then it would be impossible for him to be unable to read minds.
This person has a big problem.
The man Xu Xin was looking at was about forty years old, with a resolute expression, holding an unknown firearm, and not saying a word.
Xu Xin's gaze stayed on his face for only two seconds before moving away.
Don't let him feel anything unusual.
Yingying just said that the firearms in this underground world are very powerful. Given his current distance, it would be terrible if the other side noticed something unusual and wanted to fight to the death.
"There are people in those two trucks." Xu Xin pointed to the other two trucks not far away.
"Varied… "
"I'll get them all out right away!"
The person who had just tried to persuade Xu Ying with all his heart immediately shouted over there, "We've been discovered, come out!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen people got out of the two chariots in an orderly manner.
“… Yes, there are two.”
Xu Xin also found a person whose mind couldn't be read among the people in the two cars over there.
Including the one just now, there are two people in total.
"Are these people all your confidants?" Xu Xin asked Wei Shishi.
Just now, Xu Ying had explained the situation to Wei Shishi, and Wei Shishi already understood the purpose of Xu Xin's trip.
Hearing Xu Xin's question, she suddenly became nervous: "Well, these people are the ones who have been following me, they..."
Xu Xin glanced to the side, then nodded slightly.
Wei Shishi took a deep breath, was silent for two seconds, and said: "You two, follow me."
Then she said to the people around her, "You should all be very familiar with who these two are. They can't possibly harm me. I'm going back to my room now, so don't follow me."
As she spoke, she looked at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying immediately understood what she meant and grabbed Xu Xin and her arms, then...
Disappeared on the spot.
"this… !"
"What!"
“Disappeared!?”
“Those two people just now also appeared suddenly!”
"This... is truly a god!"
Now, these soldiers who were very calm and never showed their emotions could no longer hold back and started discussing in surprise.
"Alas, Shishi is really..." Several older people looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile.
"Then everyone, let's just disband here. Those two people really shouldn't harm Shishi."
"... You think, those two are so strong, could it be that Wei Bo was... "
"What are you talking about? If that's the case, would Shishi still treat them like this?"
"That's true... Shishi is not that kind of person."
"Who killed the Patriarch... Wei Bo? Perhaps... these two can give us the answer."
"They are gods! How can you be so calm! They have lived for thousands of years, until now!" a younger soldier said excitedly.
"Yeah, I was just shocked by their aura!"
"What kind of aura does he have? I think it's very ordinary. But the sudden disappearance at the end is really invincible, giving the feeling of a hermit master!"
"You are soldiers, can you show some self-esteem? Be serious!"
"Haha, it's break time now, Uncle Ma!"
On the other side, the two people noticed by Xu Xin had walked together, lowering their heads and whispering something.
…
"These are the two people. I can't read their minds, which means they have experienced time travel."
Xu Xin pointed to the two people in the file.
"They? How could they..."
Wei Shishi murmured to herself: "Uncle Ma... ? And Brother Cui... How is this possible..."
It seems that these two people have a very good relationship with Wei Shishi, and even call her uncle and big brother.
But come to think of it, if he was a spy planted next to Wei Shishi, establishing a good relationship with Wei Shishi would be the first step.
"You...are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Wei Shishi looked up at Xu Xin: "This is not a joke. Ma Haiming can be said to be a veteran figure in our Wei family, and Cui Chengjin is the team's... a kind of happy person, he has a good relationship with everyone. If the two of them are really... then it will be difficult to deal with."
Wei Shishi's brows were filled with pain and worry.
Although she was asking Xu Xin if he was mistaken, she obviously believed what Xu Xin said.
After all, Xu Xin answered the questions in her mind in front of her, which shows that he can indeed read minds.
"I won't be wrong. There is indeed something wrong with those two people." Xu Xin nodded.
“Is that so…” Wei Shishi clenched her fists.
"Hmm..."
Coco lay on the table and looked at Wei Shishi. Her little ears moved. Her cute little appearance made Wei Shishi's eyes, which were filled with sorrow, soften a little, and her clenched fists loosened.
At this time, Xu Ying spoke up: "Don't forget, the most senior members of your Wei family have all rebelled."
Wei Shishi's body trembled, she gritted her teeth, slammed the table, stood up and glared at Xu Ying: "Grandpa didn't betray! He just wanted to resurrect my parents, what does he have... He just..."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then sat down again: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
"Ah... There was something wrong with what I said just now. I'm sorry." Xu Ying also apologized quickly, "I won't mention it again."
"But I wanted to mention it."
Xu Xin sat on a chair nearby and looked at the two women.
"What on earth happened here? Did the former head of the Wei family betray you?" Xu Xin turned to look at Xu Ying. "I heard from those people before that the head of the Wei family was accidentally assassinated? Did you kill him? How can I help you if you don't tell me the truth?"
"I killed him? No, no..." Xu Ying waved her hands, "It wasn't me. If it was me, do you think I would still be able to talk to Shishi now?"
"That is..."
"Grandpa, he committed suicide." Wei Shishi suddenly said, "He committed suicide right in front of me, in front of us."
suicide
Xu Xin opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but finally closed it.
He seemed to know why Xu Ying had never told him about this.
This is someone else's family affair, and it's so tragic. Outsiders really shouldn't publicize it too much.
And it doesn’t seem to be a very important matter, and knowing it won’t affect the plan.
It would indeed be more appropriate for Wei Shishi to explain it.
Looking at Wei Shishi, whose face was a little pale, Xu Xin listened attentively.
