Xu Xin returned to his villa, sat on the sofa, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the conversation just now, he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
The survivors who have been able to persist for a thousand years and are still trying to find ways to help humanity will naturally seize this opportunity.
This will be the last time we communicate in this way.
Because the selection of survivors has been stopped recently, the other party does not have anything to do for the time being, so the other party tells Xu Xin that he will wait for news on the island where the world tree is planted.
Just now, he also told the news to other explorers.
"Are you ready to take the initiative?" Li Wenxi was standing by the window, stroking Coco who was lying on the windowsill basking in the sun, and asked.
"Take the initiative..." Xu Xin said to himself, "Maybe. If I can really drive the alien invaders out of the earth, I am very willing to do so."
"But... Anyway, Yingying hasn't come back yet, so let's wait for her to come back before moving on to the next step."
"That's what I thought, too." Xu Xin said with a smile, then walked behind Li Wenxi, hugged her and whispered, "If we really have to attack on the other side of the earth, can you..."
"You don't want me to stay here?"
Li Wenxi interrupted Xu Xin, broke free from his embrace, turned around and looked at him with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Of course I want to go with you! I don't want to stay here!"
"But your ability is not suitable." Xu Xin sighed, "If you stay here, with you, we will have endless resources and weapons, and we will definitely be able to hold out longer."
It would be very dangerous if the World Tree was besieged by an army of alien invaders.
But going to the other side of the world is even more dangerous.
At least we have made sufficient preparations here, but the other side of the earth is completely unknown.
So if it really comes to that, Xu Xin doesn't want Li Wenxi to go with him.
Li Wenxi was silent for a few seconds, then punched him lightly: "Aren't you already thinking about going to the other side of the earth..."
Xu Xin grabbed her hand, feeling a little heavy in his heart.
Now all signs indicate that this will probably happen soon.
This must be considered in advance.
"Even if I'm not here, the speed of resource output will not decrease." Li Wenxi said softly, "My ability is much stronger than before. The new mining equipment now no longer needs my support, so your reason cannot convince me. If you really want to drive away the alien invaders, I must go with you."
"but… "
"My abilities can also help you." Li Wenxi looked up at Xu Xin and smiled, "I can now mine all the metals within a ten-kilometer radius, whether they are metal ores or metal products. Do you still think that you shouldn't take me with you?"
"You..." Xu Xin's eyebrows relaxed slightly, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your ability is really... amazing."
It can be said to be a human radar.
Not to mention the enemy's military strength, she can easily detect even a small drone.
For those who need to sneak into the opponent's lair, Li Wenxi's ability... is simply indispensable.
Combined with Xu Xin's mapping ability, no matter whether it is a living creature or an inanimate machine, nothing will be able to escape detection.
"So, you don't have to persuade me. Even if you don't agree, I will go with you." Li Wenxi picked up Coco, who was lying on the windowsill and had fallen asleep, smiled at Xu Xin, and turned to go upstairs.
"well… "
Xu Xin rubbed his hair irritably and sat down on the sofa.
During this period, the furry monsters outside Crystal City who had been observing the situation of the World Tree have rarely appeared.
It's basically gone.
Peace seems to have returned to this area.
Even from the middle-aged man and the person in charge of Area 1, he did not hear any signs that the alien invaders intended to attack this place.
But, it was all a little too calm.
It really feels like a storm is about to come.
The war was approaching, and he was indeed a little uneasy.
"Anyway, now we should do our best to develop..."
…
Another half month passed inside the World Tree.
The sun outside was about to set below the horizon. As dusk approached, it became dim inside the World Tree.
Xu Ying is back.
Her body was very tired, but she looked full of energy.
"Brother, sister-in-law, guess what I brought back!"
As soon as Xu Ying came back, she smashed a crystal ball the size of a football onto the ground with a clang.
The crystal ball was emitting a soft, white light, illuminating the entire villa.
Not only in the villa, the bright white light even overflowed from the windows, making the villa like a lighthouse in the dim dusk.
Although the bright white light was not dazzling, it had strong penetrating power. Just by shining out through the window, it illuminated a large area around it as if it were noon, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
"Wow, what is this!" Li Wenxi squatted down next to the crystal ball and poked it with his finger. After finding that it was not hot, he picked up the crystal ball and said, "It's heavy... Is this the core of the tree house?"
The core of a normal tree house is the size of a fist, but the core of the World Tree is much larger, like a small hill.
This basketball-sized core is somewhere in between.
But this brightness feels a little... abnormally bright
Xu Xin's mind was moved: "Could this be..."
Li Wenxi put the crystal ball on the table with some difficulty: "It's really heavy..."
"This is the core of the giant." Xu Ying sat down on the sofa and lay down comfortably on it.
"Giant core?" Li Wenxi was puzzled. "What giant... ah!"
Li Wenxi covered her mouth in surprise and turned to look at Xu Xin: "Could it be that..."
Xu Xin nodded: "It's the giant who claimed that his body is scattered all over the world. If we find all his bodies, we can revive him."
He stared at the core for a few seconds, and finally exclaimed: "You actually found the entire body of the giant..."
Before, after Xu Xin and his team found a broken crystal at the location of the giant’s head, they also began to pay attention to the bodies of giants around the world.
Later, they also found the body parts of several giants, but various things happened one after another after that, and they had no time to look for the body parts of the giants.
Later, they learned the truth about this world and knew that the giant was actually a superhuman created by Xu Xin and Xu Ying from another time and space through genetic experiments. They instilled some ideas into it and let it protect the earth until the last moment.
But in the end, it was killed.
"Resurrection?" Xu Ying sneered. "How is that possible? Didn't I say before that this giant is the essence of our experiment? This is the core that supports the energy of the giant's giant body. This thing can indeed create another giant, but it is no longer that giant. Besides, there is no need for it."
Xu Ying briefly recounted her experience of going out this time.
It turned out that she was going to look for the giant's body.
Although the giant is dead, this core in his body is indeed very important.
In fact, its body was not deliberately distributed around the world as the giant said in the previous message, but was affected by high-tech weapons and blown apart in a very tragic battle.
Therefore, the distance between the locations of the bodies of the giants is actually not very far.
Just like the tree houses of Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang were very close to each other, but there was a part of a giant's body near each tree house.
The one on Xu Xin's side is the head, and the one on Ji Chaoyang's side is the arm.
Previously, at the location where Zeng Taoqinfu planted the tree house, which was a little further away, the body parts of a giant were also found.
There were also discoveries made at Wen Guixin and Wang Lei’s tree house.
In fact, Xu Xin and his team have already discovered four parts of giant bodies in Area 188.
This is inconsistent with what the giant said, that its body was artificially placed all over the world.
But if you think about what Xu Ying said, then it is relatively normal.
"No wonder you asked me for the incomplete core of the giant before." Xu Xin smiled helplessly, "If you want to find it, just tell me. We have already found many places. If I tell you, it can save a lot of time."
"There's no need for that. As long as I have this incomplete core in my hand, I can easily complete the core." Xu Ying put her feet on the coffee table and kicked the crystal on it.
The crystal rolled along the coffee table again and hit the ground with a clang.
“Hmm…!”
Coco's scream came from upstairs.
A furry little head popped out from the gap in the upstairs railing and took a look.
"Hmm?"
The little guy ran down quickly, jumped onto the crystal ball in two jumps, and lay on it.
"Hmm~"
Does it seem comfortable
"This... This is concentrated white crystal!" Li Wenxi pushed Coco, who was lying on the crystal ball, and made the crystal ball roll back and forth. At the same time, he guessed, "The brightness of this crystal feels much brighter than the crystal buildings in Crystal City!"
"So, what is the function of this crystal ball?" Xu Xin asked.
It is also much taller than the tree house core.
Even the core of the World Tree in the underground space of the World Tree is much higher.
There is a feeling that concentration is the essence.
"Yes, it's a concentrated crystal!"
Xu Ying sat up straight on the sofa.
"The alien invaders can condense red crystals, so we can naturally condense white crystals. Don't forget that the giant is the ultimate weapon we developed to fight against the alien invaders. It has super-strong giant beast blood, superb intelligence, and nearly invincible physical and self-healing abilities. All these abilities are based on..."
Xu Ying pointed to the white crystal ball on the ground and said, "It relies on this to achieve this. Otherwise, it would not be easy for its huge and powerful body to maintain its combat capability for a long time. Therefore, this crystal is one of our top research results. It contains very powerful energy that allows the behemoth to grow rapidly."
oh…
Xu Xin immediately understood what Xu Ying wanted to do: "Are you trying to... quickly transform all those mutant creatures outside Crystal City into giant beasts?"
Although Crystal City also has the ability to make the behemoths surrender and grow rapidly, under the current circumstances, the growth rate is still too slow.
Xu Xin and his companions had been in the World Tree for such a long time, while only three or four days had passed outside. During these three or four days, the growth rate of those creatures was indeed very fast, and their body size had directly doubled.
But even if it was doubled, the size would still be too small.
If they were given a few months, they might be able to grow into giant beasts in the Crystal City.
But now, how could Xu Xin and the others have several months
Who knows when the alien invaders will attack...
There are some in the World Tree, but the Crystal City cannot be moved to the World Tree.
"That's right. The mutant creatures grow too slowly with the Crystal City's acceleration. Using this acceleration, they can grow into giant beasts quickly in a short period of time and protect the area around the World Tree! We also used this method when we were training giant beasts."
"There are already quite a few of those stone beasts outside, right?" Li Wenxi asked, "Do we need more? If there are too many... they won't be able to stretch out with their bodies, right?"
"Not that many yet." Xu Ying waved her hands and said, "Those stone beasts can guard one direction, but it's difficult to let them guard all directions around the World Tree. And..."
Xu Ying pursed her lips and said, "I am not very confident about the stone creatures. I feel that we still need our own strength around us. We cannot rely on the stone creatures. I always feel that there is no guarantee."
"Bing? Bing!" Coco raised her little head from the crystal ball and waved her little paws, "Bing!"
It's saying that those stone creatures are fine.
"The little guy really trusts the stone creature."
Xu Ying walked over and wanted to pick up Coco.
As a result, Coco moved her limbs and rolled the crystal ball underneath her, sliding away from Xu Ying: "Bing!"
"You just came back. Coco must be feeling the time and space disorder on you again, right?" Xu Xin shook his head.
Although Coco has now gotten used to Xu Ying's state and no longer stays away from her like before, she still doesn't want to contact her.
"Ah, that should be it." Xu Ying pursed her lips and turned to Xu Xin and said, "The light from the crystal ball can make the creatures with giant beast bloodline around it grow rapidly. Let's act quickly."
The next step is simple.
Xu Xin first contacted the Explorers members and told them about the situation.
After obtaining everyone's consent, he came to the outside of the World Tree again.
Li Wenxi was with him, still holding Coco. Xu Ying didn't come out. She had just returned. In her current state, she was not suitable to enter the outer world tree continuously, so she was pressed inside by Xu Xin.
Xu Xin found Mimi outside Crystal City as soon as possible.
During this period of time, Mimi has been outside the World Tree, among the beasts on the periphery.
Now, as the king of this group of mutant creatures, it is natural that it always stays with them.
"Hmm?!" Coco cried out in surprise.
"Wow!" Li Wenxi also exclaimed, "Mimi has become so big now?"
Mimi was already big enough originally, but after living in the Crystal City for three or four days, under the influence of the Crystal City, its size became twice as large as before.
The body length should be... already four or five meters.
It's almost the size of a small Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Even though it's bigger now, it still feels incredibly slender and is just as fast.
No, it's faster.
Mimi saw them from several hundred meters away, and then jumped in front of them in just one or two seconds.
This speed could reach the speed of sound...
This is definitely not its fastest burst speed now.
Xu Xin turned on the mind-reading function and began to communicate with Mimi.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Coco was also waving her little paws to help with communication.
Pick a hundred powerful, loyal mutants and turn them into a behemoth? OK, got it.
Mimi’s voice rang in Xu Xin’s mind, and then its figure flashed and disappeared.
…
Eventually, hundreds of mutant creatures were gathered under the World Tree.
"Leave the rest to me, Boss."
Qin Fu held the crystal ball and said to Xu Xin.
He is now a "sentinel" stationed outside the World Tree, responsible for managing the people currently living outside the World Tree and observing the dangers around him.
It is not easy to bring the giant beast into the World Tree, so it can only be stimulated to grow outside the World Tree. So it would be most appropriate to leave it to Qin Fu.
"I can help, too."
Chang Yin is also here at this time.
His relationship with Qin Fu has become very good now.
That's normal. With Qin Fu's personality, he can get along well with anyone.
Xu Xin looked at this group of mutated creatures.
He had a hunch.
Once these giant beasts are successfully born, alien invaders may really come.
There are hundreds of powerful beasts around the World Tree. Isn't this what the monster wants to show off
