The middle-aged man was asked many questions by the monster.
During this period, he showed a very humble yet somewhat fanatical attitude.
He didn't feel anything wrong with the monster's appearance, which made humans feel physically uncomfortable.
Come to think of it, the survivors from thousands of years ago must have seen the true appearance of the alien invaders many times.
During this time, his son also woke up.
After several months of deep sleep, he felt very dizzy when he woke up, and he screamed the moment he saw the monster.
"ah!
Ghost!
”
Then he was kicked several meters away by his father and fell into coma again.
Xu Xin was amazed by the middle-aged man's incredibly swift kicking speed and the frantic way he apologized afterwards.
"So you don't feel any changes?"
After listening to the middle-aged man's story, the monster's eyes exposed outside the clothes opened.
"Yes... yes." The middle-aged man swallowed and said with some fear.
The middle-aged man did not receive any news during the day after the monster defected.
He was not the one in charge of selecting the survivors, he came here only for his son. Well, the one who was kicked out by him just now and hit the wall and lost consciousness again.
However, he was also in contact with the person who managed the survivor selection, and at least he did not notice anything unusual before he came in.
He also contacted those responsible for selecting survivors, but they didn't know what the situation was. They didn't know why they hadn't been given any instructions, so the situation remained at a stalemate.
This is why the survivors in the outer areas have not been "active" during this period of time.
"I can contact them now to ask!"
The middle-aged man took out a communication device similar to a mobile phone on the spot.
But it is meaningless because there is no way to communicate with the outside world from within the World Tree.
"Okay, I already know the important things. You can stay here and help me for a while."
The monster waved his hand, then pointed at Xu Xin and said to the middle-aged man: "He is Xu Xin. I did send people to kill him before, but now he and I have a cooperative relationship. Seeing him is like seeing me."
After saying that, it did not linger any longer. The eyes on its body glanced at Xu Xin at the same time, as if giving him a wink, and then it teleported away directly and disappeared on the spot.
This guy just left...
Xu Xin looked at the man standing there and became slightly alert.
Judging from the kick the man had just given his son, he should have fully recovered by now.
If he wants to attack me now...
Xu Xin already had a weapon hidden in his sleeve.
"You can teleport without drawing a teleportation array...! You are worthy of being our god! I actually have to help the god! Huh..."
The man's previous cold image changed, his whole face turned red, he muttered to himself, and then took a deep breath.
"… Is it that exciting? You must have seen them before."
Xu Xin clenched the pocket pistol in his hand and asked tentatively.
"What are they? They are gods!" The middle-aged man turned around and corrected Xu Xin's statement, "I have only seen gods from afar before. When have I ever talked to gods face to face? This... This... This is simply..."
Xu Xin felt like he was about to faint from excitement.
Good guy…
"Oh, sorry!"
The middle-aged man suddenly realized something and bowed to Xu Xin: "I didn't know you had this relationship with our gods before. I wanted to attack you, I hope you can forgive me!"
Just now the god said that seeing him is like seeing a god!
This middle-aged man was described by Lou Feier as being very calm and indifferent, but she didn't expect him to be like this now.
"Well... it's okay." Xu Xin waved his hand, "I'm here, your son has been detained."
“It’s good that he’s not dead, it’s good that he’s not dead!” Hearing this, the man immediately walked to his son’s side, squatted down, helped his son up after he had just hit his head against the wall and fainted, and fed him a pill. “He’s only been detained for a few days, it’s a good opportunity for him to learn a lesson! How dare you treat God with that attitude, and even dare to say that God is a ghost! It really makes me die of anger!”
"Has he never seen a monster... uh, hasn't he seen your gods?" Xu Xin asked, looking at his son who was held in the man's arms and the painful expression on his face gradually eased.
“No.” The man shook his head, let his son, who was still unconscious, lean against the wall, and stood up. “He is only in his twenties, and the gods haven’t appeared in these years. He has never seen a god before.”
Then, the middle-aged man turned to look at Xu Xin and asked stiffly, "Excuse me, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Xu Xin touched his chin.
Lou Feier finally caught the man, but she didn't expect that he knew nothing.
However, this is also useful information.
At least judging from the situation of the middle-aged man, the alien invaders have not been paying attention to the selection of survivors here recently.
They were too lazy to even release any news to this side.
However, from the perspective of alien invaders, this may be a normal choice.
Judging from the level of crazy spying around the World Tree now, the alien invaders should now be focusing their attention on Xu Xin and his team.
As for the other survivors, they did not think they needed to be dealt with specially.
Just like no one would have the leisure to go out into the wild and kill wild cockroaches, they don't even want to care about it.
Not to mention that there are mutant creatures everywhere now, and they are the natural enemies of ordinary humans.
Perhaps in their view, if left alone for a period of time, these survivors will die on their own.
At present, this should be what the alien invaders think.
But if that's the case...
What happened to the sudden restoration of communication between the survivors
How strange…
"Can you contact those responsible for selecting survivors?" Xu Xin asked the middle-aged man.
"It should be possible, but I don't know why it's not possible now." The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, "We can't contact them now."
Naturally, there is no way to contact the world tree.
But as long as the World Tree is out, it will be fine.
"Come with me, help me contact them, I have something to ask them."
"It's my honor." The middle-aged man was very respectful to Xu Xin, and then glanced at his son.
"Just leave your son here. You'll be living here anyway." Xu Xin said this tentatively. He wanted to see the middle-aged man's attitude.
"Live... live here? This is..."
"The 'god' lives in a tree house next door."
The man took a deep breath and his face flushed again: "This... I... am so honored!"
It seems there is no problem.
As long as he is not someone like Lou Feier who drinks acting like water, there will be no problem.
"Come on, come out with me."
"Go out? Um, what should I call you?"
"My name is Xu Xin, don't you know that?"
"How can I call you by your name?" The middle-aged man refused sternly, "How about this, I'll call you Lord Messenger of God!"
God's envoy...
Xu Xin rolled his eyes slightly.
Wow, he is not only a god in the eyes of the residents of the underground world, but also a messenger of God in the eyes of the survivors thousands of years ago
You know what, this feels quite novel.
"Let's go."
He left the middle-aged man's son here as a bargaining chip and took the middle-aged man outside the World Tree.
"This..." The middle-aged man was so shocked by what he saw that he was speechless.
He really didn't expect that the vast world just now was actually the interior of the world tree he had been observing before!
"As expected of a god..." The man swallowed again, "I was wondering how a survivor could own the World Tree. Sure enough, it was all created by the gods... I didn't expect that the World Tree where the gods live is actually a world..."
He thought that the World Tree was the work of a monster, and then he became even more reverent towards the "God".
Xu Xin didn't give any explanation either.
The more he revered that monster, the easier it would be for him to be controlled and exploited.
So no explanation is needed.
"Let's get in touch."
"OK."
The middle-aged man immediately took out his communication tool and asked, "Excuse me, which person should I contact?"
Xu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Let's contact the person in charge of Area 1. Areas 1-5 should all have one person in charge, right? Ask him why the world channel was suddenly opened and what they plan to do next."
"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded and made the contact immediately.
Soon, the other end answered: "Hello, who is this?"
The middle-aged man turned on a hands-free mode so that Xu Xin could also hear it.
The other party's voice was very familiar. He was the man who gave the World Tree to Shi Wanyun on the small island in the sea.
"I am a direct subordinate of the God. I have some matters that I need to confirm with you. Please cooperate." The middle-aged man's voice became steady, but there was a hint of arrogance in it.
It seems that he is very proud of being appointed as the monster's "helper".
There was silence for a long time, then he said, "Please ask."
The other party didn't seem to doubt the man's identity.
The man asked Xu Xin those two questions.
The other party was silent for a long time, and then he said again: "The gods have not issued any instructions for three days, and we have not taken any further action. As for opening the world channel, it is because the survivors in other areas are very panicked because of the failure of the mission. We think that opening the world channel and allowing them to communicate with Area 1 and Area 188 can stabilize these survivors and help with the subsequent selection."
His reason is really puzzling.
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
I always feel like the other person is... lying
"In other words, you acted on your own?" The middle-aged man's voice was filled with anger. "You actually acted on your own without the instructions of the gods. You..."
"Wait a moment, I'll talk to him." Xu Xin extended his hand to the middle-aged man.
"Ah... OK, sir." The middle-aged man handed the communication device to Xu Xin respectfully.
“…Who are you?”
There was a somewhat doubtful and uneasy voice coming from the other side. The middle-aged man's address of "sir" just now made the other party a little suspicious.
"It doesn't matter who I am." Xu Xin turned off the speaker and put the communication device to his ear, saying, "You... are helping the survivors, helping humans."
For some reason, this thought just popped up in Xu Xin's mind.
The other party is helping them!
It’s helping humanity!
Xu Xin thought of what the man said in the world tree in the sea.
"They are so powerful that we have no way to resist them. So we have no choice but to do these things. All we can do is complete our mission and ensure the safety of those who survive."
These were the exact words that the man said to Shi Wanyun and the other two girls.
He also said at the time that he asked Shi Wanyun and the other two to kill Xu Xin because what Xu Xin and the others did would anger the alien invaders, causing them to kill these survivors, so killing Xu Xin was to protect the other survivors.
No one present at the time believed what he said.
But now it seems...
He couldn't really think that, could he
Moreover, he also gave Shi Wanyun a world tree surrounded by the ocean, which the alien invaders hated and feared the most. And this time, the reason he gave for opening the world channel was also for the good of the survivors.
Even without the command of God, he made his own decision!
If someone was brainwashed by the alien invaders, like the middle-aged man next to him, who respected the alien invaders so much, how could he say the "forced" remarks in the ocean world tree before? How could he open the world channel without the permission of the alien invaders
Although opening the world channel was not a very important matter, the sudden angry statement of the middle-aged man next to him made Xu Xin realize that this was the reaction and behavior of a brainwashed person.
"You... haven't been brainwashed?"
Xu Xin's words left the other party silent for more than ten seconds.
During this period of silence, Xu Xin gradually confirmed his guess.
It seems to be true.
The other party really has not been brainwashed!
What the other party did was actually for the sake of allowing the survivors to live longer, for the sake of humanity!
“You… since you can say the word brainwashing, it means you haven’t been brainwashed either.” The other party finally spoke.
The other party must have mistaken him for one of the survivors from a thousand years ago.
After all, even the middle-aged man called him "Sir". In his opinion, Xu Xin should have a very high status.
"Yes. I didn't." Xu Xin did not deny it. He was indeed not brainwashed.
"Then you should be able to understand my actions. Everything I do is for the continuation of our race."
The other party's voice was still calm, and even gave people the feeling that he seemed relieved.
In the other party's view, a person who has not been brainwashed is much easier to communicate with.
After hearing the news from the other party, Xu Xin's eyes flashed.
Is it really like this
Sure enough, among the survivors in this time and space, there are also rebels who will not be brainwashed!
However, due to various factors, the number of rebels in this world has greatly decreased.
But a big reduction does not mean nothing!
This group of rebels was very small.
In another time and space, Xu Xin and Xu Ying's organization not only has a large number of members who have not been affected by brainwashing, but also has monsters that bring them high-end alien technology, which is why they have grown to such a strong level.
In this time and space, the number of survivors who will not be brainwashed has sharply decreased, and there are no beings like monsters to provide them with technology, so their power is very weak.
Therefore, all they can do is to help these survivors and let as many of them as possible survive the selection.
"Don't worry about anything. You and I are of the same kind." Xu Xin said.
"Is that so..." The other party's tone was obviously much more relaxed, "That's good. Then the person just now is really a god..."
Xu Xin glanced at the slightly bewildered middle-aged man and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have something to ask you."
"You ask."
"How many of you are there now?"
"… Your question makes me have to be vigilant."
The other party did not answer directly: "The man next to you is a direct subordinate of God. From what I know about them, if they are brainwashed, they will not lie about this because it is the supreme belief in their hearts. What is his situation?"
"Perhaps you don't understand that there is no unity among your 'gods'." Xu Xin suddenly said.
"... What do you want to say?" The other party was silent at first, and then asked in surprise.
"Gods also have their own ideas. For example, the gods we are in contact with now want to help us." Xu Xin smiled and said, "I am actually a survivor. I am now cooperating with your gods."
The other party is a human being who has not been brainwashed.
The other party can become one of your own.
But in the course of a thousand years, this tiny group of rebels should have been unable to rebel against their own "god".
But, if there is a "God", is he on the side of the survivors and humans
What choices will they make
If you can pull the other side into your camp, you can also gain a foothold in the other hemisphere...
Then perhaps, they can actually consider and implement that reckless plan!
Drive the alien invaders out of the earth!
"What do you think about this?" Xu Xin asked.
