Ji Chaoyang's words stirred up a huge wave of shock in everyone's heart.
Xu Ying trembled slightly and bit her lip.
"Tomorrow?!" Li Wenxi exclaimed, "How can it be so soon? Tomorrow?"
Doesn’t the other party need to prepare
Isn’t the other party still in internal chaos
Xu Xin touched his chin and sighed: "I knew this day would come soon, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
At this time, Ji Chaoyang shared the details with the explorers group.
The sky was filled with aircraft, covering the entire sky, and there were even huge warships flying in the air.
On the ground, there were endless mutated creatures, as densely packed as an ant colony.
According to Ji Chaoyang, the scene was enough to make people feel dizzy at first glance, and a sense of despair rose from the depths of their hearts.
The enemy's army was too huge, so huge that it made it difficult for people to even think about resisting.
Of course, these were what Xu Xin and the others had expected, but this day had arrived a little too early.
After Ji Chaoyang finished speaking, no one in the group responded for a long time.
"Why... why?" Li Wenxi was puzzled. "Why did they come so quickly? Don't they look down on us? How can they act so quickly... in just one day!"
"… The maintainers of order are sentinels." Xu Xin looked up at Li Wenxi and said, "Don't forget one thing."
"What's the matter?" Li Wenxi and Xu Ying both looked at him.
"Internal conflicts among the alien invaders." Xu Xin said in a deep voice.
"...Internal conflict?" Xu Ying frowned, and then a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes, "Oh... So that's why they are so eager to come and attack..."
"What do you mean?" Li Wenxi was still a little confused. "Are you talking about their current internal chaos? Shouldn't this kind of internal conflict make it more difficult for them to act?"
"That's what I thought at first." Xu Xin glanced out the window and at the direction where the monster was. "But then I asked the monster in detail, and it said that the military forces over there are still all controlled by its 'father'."
In other words, the other side's military power was not dispersed at all.
Similar to... warlord rule.
The power of this ruling class is more based on the use of force. If the force is not dispersed, then at most the ordinary individuals on the other side will be dissatisfied with the status quo, but they will have no way to deal with the ruling class.
But it is not without impact.
The earth is a huge mine for them.
If the individuals below are dissatisfied and start to work passively, it will not be a good thing for the people above.
They can either appease the masses or enforce mining labor by force. Otherwise, if the individuals below disobey their orders one by one, the Earth's mineral resources will decline, and they will not be able to give an account to their home planet.
As for this point, Xu Xin also asked the monster in detail, and the other party did not implement any forced mining labor.
After all, each individual alien invader will hold certain weapons in his hands. Although they are not strong and are far from being able to compete with the army, they can easily cause chaos.
Besides, the "source of life" of each of them is controlled by the warlords. The people below cannot cause any big waves, so there is no need to exercise high pressure, otherwise it will be more likely to cause trouble and may give birth to some real separatist organizations.
But the result of leaving it alone is that the people below are dissatisfied, and the group of alien invaders is becoming less and less cohesive and turbulent.
"Ah... I understand. Divert the conflict!" Li Wenxi opened his eyes. "Rely on the external crisis on our side to suppress the internal conflict first!"
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded.
In this situation, what can make them temporarily work together and unite
Create an imaginary enemy, then unite against the outside world and divert internal conflicts.
Xu Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although he was not a politician, this situation was very common thousands of years ago.
Especially a country with an army spread all over the world, can master this skill to perfection.
Very similar to what is happening now with alien invaders.
"Since you've already thought of it, why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Wenxi punched him lightly.
"What's the point of saying it earlier?" Xu Xin spread his hands. "I'm not sure either. This kind of uncertain news has no other effect except to create panic. And according to my guess, it will take three or four days for the other party to finish the job. Three or four days is a year in the World Tree. What's there to worry about?"
“Hmm…” Li Wenxi pursed her lips.
"Ah!" Xu Ying suddenly screamed, picked up Coco who was dozing beside her and started to jerk off.
“… Huh?! Huh?!”
Coco was awakened, her little face full of fear and confusion.
"This is too fast! I... I always thought that I could live in the World Tree for at least another year!" Xu Ying sat back in her seat holding Coco, with a look of despair on her face.
"Tomorrow... Tomorrow?... Today is already halfway through!"
Xu Ying counted the time on her fingers and said, "So, there are only two months left?"
Two months is actually plenty of time for explorers who have already prepared.
But for Xu Ying...
These may be the last two months of her life.
"No... don't worry too much! As long as we don't use the high-end weapons you brought back from another time and space, you will be fine, right?" Li Wenxi hurriedly comforted.
"How can it be so easy..." Xu Ying pursed her lips, "How can it be so easy..."
…
This news was not told to ordinary people in the World Tree.
After all, there are still more than two months left, and it would be too early to inform you now.
Everyone's spirits are already tense enough, and if they continue to be wound up for another two months, they will easily break.
Therefore, everything in the World Tree seemed to have not happened.
Of course, the Explorers members would gather every day to discuss the plans for that time.
"So, you really don't need me to stay?" Wen Guixin asked.
"No need. Sneaking into the enemy's base also requires your ability. Just attach more bullets and missiles with mental toxins before you leave." Ji Chaoyang waved his hand.
"Okay, that's great. I don't want to stay either. I want to participate in destroying their 'source of life'!" Wen Guixin said with a smile, and then tapped the table lightly with her fingers.
After these few months, Wen Guixin's abilities have become stronger and stronger.
Although she could originally attach mental toxins to weapons, it was only for melee weapons. As long as her hands left the weapons, they would become ineffective.
Later, she was able to coat bullets with poison, but she could only use it on herself, as she could only coat bullets with poison for a few seconds.
Now, this time has been extended to more than a whole day.
In other words, after she attaches mental toxins to the bullets and shells, the toxins will last for more than a day before gradually dissipating.
During this day, anyone using the weapon will be able to achieve the same ability as her.
"Sister Gui Xin is really capable..." Li Wenxi exclaimed, "Both sides need you."
"Isn't your ability the same, Wenxi?" Wen Guixin was sitting next to Li Wenxi, and she gave her a shoulder and smiled, "The weapons and materials here all depend on your ability."
"But if the war starts, I won't be needed here."
"Well, if the war starts, it's best not to go to the underground world. Even if you go, you can't collect resources anymore." Ji Chaoyang said, "The underground world is different from the world tree. That area is basically open. When the war starts, that area will be very dangerous and it will not be suitable for continuing to mine resources."
"That's why I've been working so hard these past few days." Li Wenxi rubbed his legs, "I'm so tired..."
"We should have enough materials now, right?" Xu Xin rubbed her shoulders. "You don't have to work so hard."
"Well... We have been manufacturing weapons non-stop during this period, and the resource library has been depleted." Li Wenxi leaned in Xu Xin's arms and enjoyed his massage.
…
When they returned to the villa, Xu Ying was lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"Ah... you guys are back?"
Seeing Xu Xin and Li Wenxi coming back, she sat up.
"Yingying..."
"I just don't feel like I have the energy to play anymore." Xu Ying lifted up Coco in her arms and looked into its innocent eyes. "It feels like the eve of an exam. I don't feel like playing at all."
Coco has been sticking with Xu Ying all this time. The little girl was very sensitive to the fact that Xu Ying was in a bad mood during this period, so she has been staying with her all the time.
"Let's go out for a walk!" Li Wenxi pulled Xu Ying up. "You would only have such thoughts if you stay in your room all the time. Have you not been to the underground world under our world tree for a long time? Let me take you to have a look!"
"Um... okay!" Xu Ying stood up.
During this period of time, she did not appear in the World Tree again.
Because inside the World Tree, the time stretched a hundred times is very precious to her now.
However, you can still visit the underground world where time is also affected.
"Do you need me to accompany you?" Xu Xin asked.
"No, no, let's go for a walk. I have a lot to say to Yingying. Don't follow me!" Li Wenxi refused on the spot.
"All right… "
It was already break time, and Xu Xin was still a little uneasy, so he went out and walked towards a relatively densely populated residential area.
The place where you live during this period is not as relaxing as before, but it is still much more lively in crowded places.
"Brother Xin!"
"Brother Xin is here!"
"Brother Xin, have you eaten yet? Come eat with us!"
Xu Xin was greeted by many people along the way. He greeted them one by one and politely declined the invitation.
This city has become very prosperous.
Although tens of thousands of people are not a large number, Xu Xin really feels warm in this limited urban area.
Unfortunately, this situation can only last for a month.
"Big brother, are you Xu Xin?"
At this time, a little girl with two ponytails ran to Xu Xin and looked up at him.
Xu Xin smiled slightly and squatted down: "Yeah, what can I do for you?"
The girl looked only five or six years old.
She was a family member brought up by the Wei family and had been living in the World Tree all this time.
"Thank you, big brother, for bringing us to the surface!"
The girl just said one sentence, then turned around and ran away shyly.
Xu Xin was stunned at first, then he laughed.
He didn't expect that these people had been here for several months and someone would still say such things to him.
However, I rarely appear in the crowd.
Especially after Xu Ying brought back tens of thousands of believers last time, he has never come here again.
This time, it’s the first time since then.
Xu Xin smiled and then sighed.
Yes, now the world tree is not inhabited only by survivors.
They have already dragged the inhabitants of the underground world into this war.
This war must be won.
Otherwise, not only the residents and children in the World Tree, but also the hundreds of millions of people in the underground world will suffer.
That would be an extremely horrific consequence, one that no one could afford.
If the alien invaders are not driven out of the earth, one day, the human beings here will once again face a catastrophic disaster.
This battle must be won.
He continued to move forward.
Then, he walked into the area where he and Xu Ying's followers mainly lived.
"Oh my god, it's Xin Shen!"
"Xin Shen is here!"
"Xin Shen has appeared for the first time!"
Xu Xin's appearance caused the people around him to riot.
They surrounded Xu Xin, each of them with a fanatical look on their face.
After this period of coexistence and communication with the survivors, they already knew the situation of Xu Xin and Xu Ying.
Always maintain the first level in life-and-death activities.
The organization established the Explorers, a salvation organization for mankind.
Discovered the Crystal City and brought it to the surface.
Planting the World Tree provides a safe place to live for all survivors and even all human beings.
We even have to fight against aliens, take back the Earth, and make humans the masters of the Earth again.
No matter which of these experiences you take, it is not something that ordinary people can have.
Therefore, even though they already knew about Xu Xin's experience, they still believed that Xu Xin was a god from heaven, and still believed that Xu Xin and Xu Ying were the gods who were about to save them.
Xu Xin once again came into direct contact with his followers and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of these fanatical guys.
However, he still insisted on staying here for several hours and answering many questions from many people.
Because in his opinion...
After this battle, I'm afraid some of these people will not stand here anymore.
The upcoming battle to defend the World Tree will be extremely brutal.
It is impossible for everyone to survive.
Looking at these people who regarded him as hope, Xu Xin felt very heavy in his heart.
This war must be won.
…
Time flies.
Night passed once again, and day came into the World Tree.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
On this day, Ji Chaoyang's message was sent to everyone.
