This time, Xu Ying actually brought back tens of thousands of people directly from the underground world.
That’s right, according to Wei Shishi’s statistics, there are a total of 12,589 people.
“Wha…what?!”
Everyone present was shocked.
“Why are there so many people here?”
"Brother, do you still remember the two reporters we met in the underground world?" Xu Ying said to Xu Xin.
Two reporters...
"Ah... those two people."
Xu Xin thought about it for a while before remembering it.
After all, he is not an important person, and Xu Xin has spent several months in the World Tree since he last came back from the underground world.
Of course, only one day passed in the underground world.
But within that one day, the news that Xu Xin and Xu Ying appeared together had spread throughout the underground world.
The image of the two people wearing masks and sunglasses had already been transmitted to every household through the Internet.
The whole underground world was in an uproar because of the appearance of the god. This was all thanks to the two reporters.
Therefore, after Xu Xin and Xu Ying left, when the Wei family released the news that they wanted to take some people to the ground, they received an immediate response.
In just one day, tens of thousands of people requested to follow the gods and live on the ground.
This number is only one ten-thousandth of the entire underground world's population of hundreds of millions on the ground, which is not a lot in proportion.
After all, the news was released just over a day ago, and not many people could decide to leave their homes within a day.
But to be honest, ten thousand people was beyond Xu Ying's imagination.
This is the credit of Xu Xin and Xu Ying, the two "gods" who have stood in the city center for thousands of years.
In the closed and unchanging environment of the underground base, religious beliefs can easily take root and grow.
The religion with Xu Xin and Xu Ying as gods is the largest religious group in the underground world and has lasted for nearly a thousand years.
Of course, the religions of the underworld cannot be in power, so their influence is not very great.
But they have a large number of believers, and some of them are even passed down from generation to generation.
These people all believe that one day in the future, their gods will take them back to the earth, see the sun again, and rebuild their real home.
So, when their god appeared and wanted to lead them back to the ground, they did not hesitate at all.
This is why tens of thousands of people were willing to follow Xu Ying back to the ground in just one day.
"These tens of thousands of people are just the first batch." Xu Ying said in a somewhat tired tone.
Xu Xin and Xu Ying's followers are spread all over the human bases in the underground world.
According to Wei Shishi, most of the believers are now heading towards this central city.
Railways are the main form of transportation in the underground world and have been developed for thousands of years. The speed is far beyond what it was thousands of years ago. Therefore, it only takes two days for all these believers to reach the central city and gather under the statues of their gods.
Xu Xin and Xu Ying are officially recognized gods in the underground world. They are believed by almost all the people and have a huge number of religious believers.
Among them, there are also a considerable number of ultimate fanatical believers who are willing to give up everything in order to follow God.
Even if this group of people accounts for a very small proportion of the total population, there are definitely hundreds of thousands of them!
Now this group of people are rushing towards the central city.
This wave of fanatical following by believers has also affected ordinary people.
At present, some people have been influenced by them and have begun to become curious and yearn for the earth and the environment where humans are supposed to live.
Most of these people are young people. They do not have any deep feelings for their hometown or the underground world, nor do they have a deep-rooted fear of the aboveground world. They are not yet at the age where they can accept whatever happens.
They have abundant energy and are exactly what Xu Xin and his team need.
This trend became more and more obvious when Wei Shishi, the head of the Wei family, announced that the Wei family would withdraw from the underground world and return to the earth with the gods.
That’s right, the Wei family also contributed to this.
Wei Shishi, who had experienced all those things in the underground world, knew very well that there would be no bright future if she continued to stay in the underground world.
Alien invaders have discovered this place, and they can no longer do nothing.
Moreover, since the Wei family was founded thousands of years ago, the meaning of the family's existence has been to help mankind return to the ground and retake the Earth.
So after Xu Xin and Xu Ying left, and the Wei family recruited humans who wanted to return to the ground, Wei Shishi, after careful consideration, announced to the entire base the news that the Wei family would be returning to the ground.
This news has caused many families in the underground world's base to consider whether to immigrate to the surface.
This is the Wei family that has been protecting the underground world!
Of course, the Wei family also warned all residents of the underground world that following them back to the surface is equivalent to participating in a war to retake the surface and fight for the future of mankind, so they must think carefully.
After all, the Wei family is a military family, and their mobilization capabilities are very strong. Therefore, although some people were scared away, more people were excited and wanted to stand together with the fate of all mankind.
Thus, a trend of following the gods, following the Wei family to return to the surface, and fighting the alien invaders to the end began to emerge.
"In another day, the number of people willing to come to the surface will at least increase several times, or even dozens, tens, or even hundreds of times." Xu Ying pursed her lips and said, "I don't know whether we should be happy or worried."
Xu Xin and others looked at each other.
They really didn't expect that what happened in the underground world actually had a hint of magic.
In just one day, something happened that caused great turmoil in the entire underground world.
"So, the people you brought here this time..." Lou Feier asked in surprise, "are all your followers?"
"Yes, most of them are, and they are fanatical believers." Xu Ying said, rubbing her temple with a slightly distressed expression, "They are really... too enthusiastic."
Xu Ying went to meet this group of people in person.
When they saw their gods suddenly appear out of thin air before their eyes, when the fanatical believers saw the "miracle" appear, the scene...
It's beyond words.
But fortunately, in front of the fanatical believers, Xu Ying's words were above everything else, so there was no chaos.
Being worshipped by so many people together, Xu Ying always felt that she couldn't bear it.
"No wonder you didn't release them as soon as you came back." Shi Wanyun smiled gently.
"Yeah, I have a headache. But the main reason is that there are too many of them. I need to discuss it with you. If we let them out, the population in this World Tree will increase more than ten times." Xu Ying said with a headache.
"Can our city accommodate so many people at once?" Jin Yue asked.
"Sure." Li Wenxi pointed to a tall building in the distance outside the window. "That area was built in advance for the residents of the underground world. It was planned by the residents of the underground world who have already moved in."
In order to welcome the arrival of their compatriots, they naturally spared no effort in construction.
And there is help from the survivors.
"Fanatical believers? Not bad." Xu Xin touched his chin. "Although there are many of them at once, they should be easy to manage and won't cause trouble."
"Well, this is one of the reasons why I brought back so many people at once." Xu Ying nodded, then patted Xu Xin on the shoulder and said with a little pride, "They really listen to you and me, brother! Very, very, very obedient."
…
Xu Xin immediately gathered all the explorers and explained the matter to them.
After experiencing the shock, the explorers also said that with their current level of urban construction and food supplies, it would not be difficult to feed more than 10,000 people.
Moreover, a larger population means more labor force, which is basically beneficial to them with no harm at all.
Not to mention that these people are a group of very obedient fanatics.
Therefore, after discussion, everyone decided to let Xu Xin and Xu Ying go outside the World Tree and release these tens of thousands of people, let them see what the real ground is first, and then bring them back into the World Tree.
Only when they can truly see the infinitely high sky, truly see the dazzling sun, and truly feel the wind on the surface, will they have a clear understanding of the ground.
Only in this way will they truly devote themselves to the battle to retake the Earth.
Outside the World Tree.
"Then brother, should I let them out?" Xu Ying said.
"Don't release them all at once, release them in batches, about a thousand people in each batch." Xu Xin said.
"Ah? Why?"
"Now… "
Xu Xin told her that the area around the World Tree was being monitored by alien invaders.
"If tens of thousands of people come out at once, it's a bit exaggerated. I'm afraid it will arouse the other side's desire to quickly wipe out this place." Xu Xin explained, "We are not ready to fight them head-on right now."
"… Is the situation already so unstable?" Xu Ying's face looked a little grim, and then she nodded, "Okay, I understand. But it doesn't seem to make much sense."
"It would be better to be a little more careful."
Immediately, thousands of people were released by her.
The group of people who were released were originally discussing something noisy, but the sudden change in scenery startled them all.
Then I was shocked by the scenery of the world above ground.
For a moment, the originally noisy crowd was quiet for a few seconds.
Then it broke out.
"My... My God..."
"Is this the world above ground... Is this... Is this sunlight..."
"Is this the dazzling sunshine in the legend? I feel like I'm about to cry..."
"Oh my god... Oh my god... The sky really is infinitely high! There is actually... There really is an infinitely high sky!"
"Suddenly I felt so insignificant..."
It was afternoon time, when the sun was at its brightest.
And the sky was clear.
As soon as they came out, they saw the most dazzling blue sky.
At the same time, a large number of people saw their two gods.
All of a sudden, with Xu Xin looking a little stunned, this group of people knelt down in a rush.
They even suppressed their shock and yearning for the surface world and knelt down in front of Xu Xin and the others.
Good guy…
Xu Xin immediately understood what Xu Ying meant by the unspeakable situation.
This scene...
It actually feels like being an emperor.
Of course, not everyone knelt down. There were still dozens of people who did not kneel down.
They were among the few non-fanatic believers, but they were also very excited when they saw the scene nearby.
They really wanted to say something to Xu Xin and Xu Ying, but in this atmosphere, they didn't dare to speak out loud.
Xu Ying poked Xu Xin and said that he would take care of the matter.
"Everyone, please raise your heads. I am not the powerful god you imagine. I am a human being just like you, so there is no need to perform such a great ceremony."
Xu Xin's words made the believers present raise their heads one by one.
The reason they raised their heads was not because Xu Xin said he was also a human being, but simply because he said "Please raise your heads".
Listen to the words of God.
As for God saying that he is not a God
That has to be a joke.
The sincerity and enthusiasm in these people's eyes seemed to want to eat the two of them.
Is this a fanatic believer
Xu Xin suddenly felt under great pressure.
"You should take them back..." Xu Xin lowered his head and whispered to Xu Ying, "Let's talk about other things after we return to the World Tree. Otherwise, I think it will be a waste of time. There are still more than a dozen groups of people."
"Too."
Xu Ying nodded.
After explaining it to these people briefly, they did not refuse at all and Xu Ying took it back easily.
Then, groups of people were released, and the previous situation was repeated over and over again.
Xu Xin went from being shocked and feeling uncomfortable at first to slowly getting used to it, and then began to not care.
Forget it, let these people kneel if they want to, and worship if they want to.
Finally, after everyone in the group had seen the real surface world, Xu Xin and Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the World Tree.
…
In front of the control console of the World Tree, Qin Fu was raising his eyebrows, touching his chin, and observing his surroundings.
He has been observing here for half a day.
Although Xu Xin and Xu Ying were only out for half an hour, a whole day had passed in the World Tree.
He also kept an eye on the changes around him during this time.
"This really attracted a lot of hairy monkeys. As expected, they were noticed."
"I feel like we should stop being so indifferent. Now that we have weapons, we should kill them."
"Go to hell... Never mind, let's go ask the boss what they think."
…
After returning to the World Tree, more than 10,000 people were released.
Xu Xin and Xu Ying also explained the situation here to them amid their fanatical eyes.
They accepted everything here without any hesitation.
Then they continued to look at Xu Xin and Xu Ying fanatically, waiting for the next instructions.
Xu Xin really couldn't stand their gazes anymore and immediately contacted Lou Feier.
"Your difficult task is here. Manage these newcomers." Xu Xin said helplessly, "Bring more people. You can't manage it alone."
He now felt that as long as he and Xu Ying were here, this group of people would seem to have lost the ability to think and would completely obey the orders of Xu Xin and the others.
Although this attitude of being completely obedient can be very useful in some situations, in the current situation where they need to integrate here, choose a place to live, make career choices and assignments...
These people seem to have lost their minds...
They just want Xu Xin and Xu Ying to make the choice for them.
Xu Xin can't make choices for tens of thousands of people!
Let's leave it to Lou Fei'er. If Lou Fei'er were to lead them, they wouldn't be so rigid and would be able to think for themselves...
"Hehe, I've been prepared for a long time. Don't worry, I will get to know these people well and assign them appropriate positions!"
Lou Feier said very confidently.
Xu Xin and Xu Ying hurried back to the villa as if they were escaping.
Although the two had long been accustomed to being leaders, the feeling of being religious leaders really made them feel uncomfortable.
They even felt like they were the leaders of some evil cult.
Because they are not gods...
"Why is it so fanatical..." Xu Ying lay on the sofa, buried her head in the sofa, and said in a muffled voice, "It's a bit scary..."
"Haha... Let Lou Feier handle it. She should be able to communicate with those people normally." Xu Xin said tiredly.
I didn't expect that being worshipped would be so tiring.
"I feel like we should keep these people a little further away..." Xu Ying said as she stood up, "Otherwise we can forget about living a normal life here!"
"Just explain it to them clearly. Tell them we are not gods. Tell them not to do this again in the future." Xu Xin sighed.
"Didn't you explain it just now? Did they listen? Not at all." Xu Ying rolled her eyes. "Other orders were carried out completely, but they didn't listen to this explanation."
"Maybe this is a fanatic believer." Xu Xin shrugged, "If he wasn't a fanatic believer, he wouldn't have decided to leave his homeland and everything behind to follow you to the surface in just one day."
"That's true. I hope people who come up next time won't be so fanatical..." Xu Ying thought of the previous scene, rubbed her arms covered with goose bumps, and sighed.
There were only two of them in the villa at this time.
Li Wenxi, Shi Wanyun and others were all pulled away by Lou Feier to help.
Not even Coco was there.
"By the way, you said before that the Wei family will also come up, right? When?" Xu Xin asked.
"They still have to take charge of the overall situation. Once a considerable number of underground world residents are transferred up, the Wei family will also be transferred up as a whole."
Xu Ying turned over and lay on the sofa.
"Except for the Wei family, the other two families want to continue to stay in the underground world. They still can't let go of their family businesses in the underground world."
Xu Xin nodded and said, "That's good. With those two in charge, the underground world won't become chaotic. After all, the number of people who want to come out is small."
Among the hundreds of millions of people in the underground world, it would be good if one million were willing to return to the surface.
There aren’t any serious disasters in the underground world right now, so it doesn’t seem to matter to them whether they can take back the Earth or not.
For most people, they have a good life down there, so what is the point of coming up here
No matter how good the situation up there is, they may not necessarily come up, let alone fight if they come up.
Unless a very extreme disaster occurs, such as war or natural disasters, only a minority of people will be aware of this.
"A million people is more than enough." Xu Ying sat up, looked at Xu Xin and smiled, "If a million people can really come up, then our development will probably be as fast as riding a hypersonic missile!"
The productivity of the high-quality soil within the World Tree makes it easy to feed millions of people.
The millions of laborers and combat forces, the terrifying productivity of the tree house, and the hundred times faster time flow of the World Tree.
The world tree will develop at an extremely rapid speed that they could never have imagined before!
