After some further questioning, I had a basic understanding of the general situation.
The reason it came to seek refuge was that its half-human, half-monster activities were discovered.
Although it has been cooperating with the alien invaders during this period, the other party does not actually fully trust it.
After all, it has half human blood, and its appearance is also disgusting to the other party.
Whether in the eyes of humans or alien invaders, it is a hybrid monster.
So, those alien invaders originally wanted to control it, but unfortunately, this was simply impossible.
Because it is just like Xu Ying, a being that can travel through time and space. Breaking free from imprisonment is just a matter of thought for it.
Eventually, the conditions were met.
The first group of survivors arrived and the selection began.
Naturally, these alien invaders would not hand over the power of selection to this hybrid monster of unknown origin, even though it was it who proposed the plan.
However, the "ugly" appearance of humans really made these alien invaders feel physically uncomfortable, and they did not want to do this kind of thing themselves, so they left it to the few survivors left after thousands of years of experiments.
That is... mysterious sounds in various areas.
The first survivors arrived.
The monster gave each of them a tree house seed.
Although the technology of the tree house seeds belongs to Xu Xin and Xu Ying's team, Monster, as a participant, also knows this technology.
It would be too easy for the alien invaders to reproduce the tree house seed technology that degraded the world tree.
The reason why these things are given to the survivors is that their abilities alone are not enough to survive on the earth which is so full of dangers a thousand years later.
Then, the selection of the first batch of survivors began.
The selection of the first batch of survivors was so cruel that almost only one in ten thousand would survive.
In this situation, even if the people who stayed were excellent, it would be impossible to make them reproduce. There were too few people.
Therefore, starting from the second batch of survivors, the selection became much more relaxed.
Basically, by eliminating the survivors who are not brainwashed and the weak and sickly survivors, you can win the survival battle after a simple competition.
Then came the third and fourth batches, which adopted almost the same measures.
The survivors from the second, third and fourth batches of survivors formed the basic population of the human city on the other hemisphere of the Earth.
The most outstanding first batch of survivors became the founders and managers of this city.
These survivors were of appropriate age, and after settling in the city, the alien invaders gave them autonomy and sufficient resources and food, so they reproduced at an extraordinary speed, and the population of human cities began to skyrocket.
The screening and selection of human genes is also ongoing.
…
"I own ten world trees, and I often pay attention to the selection of survivors. All the war survivors who select survivors have had contact with me." The monster said, "So, the most outstanding survivors are basically all selected by me."
"The most outstanding group of people..." Shi Wanyun muttered to herself, and then looked at it, "Are they the ones I saw in that world tree?"
"That's right." The monster nodded, "That world tree is one of the ten world trees I own."
"… So, it was you who sent me to the World Tree."
"I... It's not me." The monster shook his head. "Your arrival was an accident."
…
The plan has been going on for fifty years, but the progress of human genetic research is still unclear, and another round of new blood is needed.
So the monster went back to the past again and brought back the fifth group of survivors.
It was at this time that it felt the turbulence in time and space.
It discovered that at that point in time, there were a large number of humans other than itself who came to this time and space.
This immediately reminded it of... the inventors of the time machine who had disappeared without a trace fifty years ago.
This situation must be related to them.
So it started to act.
…
"So, you found us and mixed us in with the survivors." Xu Xin frowned slightly.
"Yes." The monster said, "You were teleported here in batches, but the interval between batches was very short, basically only a few minutes. Moreover, you were all sent to the same area, and you were all unconscious when you were teleported here."
"You were teleported to the wild area that was not affected by the World Tree. They didn't find you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been found."
The monster moved his body, as if he was no longer comfortable sitting on the sofa. "But I am sensitive to the turbulence of time and space, and I can sense the location of the turbulence of time and space, so I found you."
"So that's how it is..." Xu Ying said to herself.
It is easy to explain that the transmission is divided into several batches, with an interval of several minutes between each batch.
These people at that time were all sent here from thousands of years ago. Although it took some time to find them and send them here at that time a thousand years ago, the time of sending them here was not affected.
No matter when you send people out, just send them to the same point in time.
Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying with questioning eyes.
"At the time, we thought that there was strength in numbers, and if we sent them together, the chances of survival would be higher."
Xu Ying said.
Then she pursed her lips.
"But I don't know much. We can't teleport you to the future, that's all done by the younger generations. So I basically don't know what you were like back then. Um, I don't really care. After all... because of my brother's operation on my time machine, when I arrived, it was already several years later..."
She has talked about this before.
In order to prevent her from influencing the world too much, Xu Xin of that time and space set the time of her time machine back a few years, making her arrive much late and unable to participate in those important actions that changed the world at that time.
It is precisely because of this that she has been able to live until now and not be wiped out by the world.
"I have a question. Why did you make us unconscious?" Xu Xin was puzzled. "Why didn't you explain it to us?"
"You are in a coma because of the biochip implant, right? After the chip is implanted, you will be in a coma for a long time." Xu Ying explained, "However, although the younger generations were eager to send you to the future, they also left you some information. It is not to say that you are completely ignorant."
As she spoke, Xu Ying looked at the monster and said, "It must be a good thing it did."
"It's me." The two eyes on the monster's cheeks opened.
"After no one was teleported here for half a day, I went to check on you. There was indeed a message left for you. Ordinary humans don't have it, but everyone in your research team has a note that states your current status. So, I simply understood the situation at the time."
"Is it really you..." Xu Ying stared at it and gritted her teeth, "You really did a good thing!"
"At that time, I even thought about traveling back in time to find you. But I gave up. After all, I have been working in this era for fifty years. In this era, there are humans on Earth and on my home planet who can provide me with genes and meet all my needs. And..."
It looked at Xu Ying and said, "Since you chose to travel to the past, it means that this era has been influenced by you. For me at that time, this was already a very good era, so in the end I did not go back to the past to interfere with you. Otherwise, if the future changes, my plan will be ruined."
"Huh? I didn't expect you to say that. How many times have you gone back to the past?" Xu Ying laughed angrily. "I don't even dare to go back to the past, for fear that the world will collapse. But you go back whenever you want, and bring a bunch of people with you every time!"
"... The humans I brought with me are all those who are certain to die in that invasion war. The possibility of them changing the future is very small." The monster defended himself.
"Huh? How do you know that he will definitely die... Ah! Is it the person who is illuminated by the red light?"
"Yes. Only a small number of those humans turned into blood-marked giants. Most of them died on the spot."
As it said this, it looked at Shi Wanyun: "You are one of them. If I hadn't done this, if it was in another time and space, you would either be dead or... become a blood-marked giant."
Shi Wanyun took a deep breath.
It turns out that the self in that time and space was already dead when the alien invaders invaded.
Compared to turning into a blood-marked giant, she would rather believe that she was dead.
She couldn't help but shudder slightly at the thought of herself becoming that kind of monster.
"Anyway, I found you, but you are just a group of people who were sent to the future because you were in the way. You have no practical significance, and everyone has been strengthened, so I let you participate in this survival game with other survivors."
"Because it's in the way... I'm not wrong, it was indeed the case at the time." Xu Ying glanced at Xu Xin beside her awkwardly.
At first, they really just wanted to go back to the past and change the future world from the past. At the beginning, they didn't plan for anything that would happen thousands of years in the future.
Although their plan later included people being sent to the future, that was after the resistance failed.
For example, the deployment of the human base in the underground world, the Crystal City, and the World Tree, these were all preparations made later.
"But, among those people, there is your mother!" Xu Ying stared at the monster in front of her, "You are so cruel, it really is..."
A hybrid of a monster.
She didn't say this out loud.
"She is not my mother." The monster looked outside. "Her aura is completely different from my mother's. I can only barely recognize her based on her appearance. There were so many people sent to the future at that time. It is impossible for me to find her."
“… What a crude and rough way of treating people.” Xu Xin shook his head.
The monster continued, "Moreover, with the abilities you have been given and the relatively special tree house seeds in your hands, it is easy for you to stand out from the selection. Facts have proved that this is indeed the case, and... too conspicuous."
It looked out the window of the tree house and said, "The interior of this world tree is so vast. Before I followed you into here, I could never have imagined it."
There was a sense of surprise in its hoarse and strange voice.
"What you did was so conspicuous that it even attracted their attention. This makes me a little distressed. And at this time..."
The monster looked at Shi Wanyun and said, "She suddenly came to my World Tree. When No. 5 reported this to me, I thought that maybe I could let her... kill your leader. Of course, it's just a simple try, not an important plan."
Shi Wanyun turned her head slightly and looked away. She recalled the scene at that time.
So that’s how it is…
"Wait a minute, it was you who sent her to the underground crystal city? How did you find that place?" Xu Ying asked this question.
"Do you think that since I found so many people who were sent here thousands of years ago, I would not check the surrounding area and underground of that area?" the monster asked.
Xu Ying was speechless.
"I found this place fifty years ago. At that time, the entire underground city was covered with stone. I didn't feel anything unusual. Although I kept an eye on it, I didn't do anything. Maybe it's because... I was also looking forward to seeing what you could do."
The monster opened his mouth, obviously laughing at himself, and then looked at Xu Xin and said, "Do you remember how you found the Crystal City?"
"… At that time, the giant bug drilled a big hole in the ground, and saw my image from the hole." Xu Xin was silent for a moment, and then said, "Could it be that you…"
"I asked you to find the location of that bug." The monster's eyes opened and closed again. "I guided it to help you find the Crystal City."
…Is that so
"No wonder you asked me to wait for him in that underground city." Shi Wanyun suddenly realized.
"Yes, I..."
"Wait a minute, I have a question." Xu Xin suddenly interrupted it.
There was a piece of information in its words just now that concerned him a lot.
"Is this where all of us are after being teleported here from thousands of years ago?"
Isn't this the area around his tree house
Before his tree house was transplanted, it was less than three kilometers away from Crystal City.
"It's right here." The monster said, "That's why all of you who were sent here were scattered in Area 188 and nearby areas."
No wonder the people in their team are basically in the same area or adjacent areas.
The original members of the explorers were in Area 188, while Zeng Tao, Qin Fu and others were in Area 187.
All nearby.
"If that's really the case..."
Xu Xin thought of the lake.
His tree house was planted beside the lake.
What's in the lake
Giant anaconda in the center of the lake.
According to Xu Ying, this giant beast was most likely left behind by Xu Xin from that time and space.
…A giant beast left behind by Xu Xin from that time and space, surrounding the area where the crowd appeared.
So...
The giant anaconda in the center of the lake is likely...
It was Xu Xin from that time and space who stayed behind to protect this group of people!
Perhaps, he told the giant anaconda that a large group of people would appear here at this time and asked it to protect these people!
That's why it's here!
If the giant anaconda was left behind by Xu Xin from that time and space, there is no reason why it would not recognize the current Xu Xin.
That's why it has never taken action against Xu Xin, and has even been doing things to help him!
is that so
If this is true, then the giant anaconda's previous behavior of protecting them seems to make sense!
"... When you found us and took us away, did you encounter any problems?" Xu Xin asked the monster, "For example, did a huge anaconda emerge from the lake?"
"Well, the giant anaconda in the lake, right? Yes. It even tried to attack me."
The monster's words made Xu Xin's eyes light up.
The monster twisted its overly thin neck and said, "However, I didn't take it seriously at the time. It was just a giant beast, nothing unusual. I quickly took you in and teleported you away. In fact, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you might have been crushed to death by that giant anaconda."
…
It’s actually true!
Can…
It's still a little strange.
Why does the Anaconda appear as an enemy on his map
