Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Mature woman No. 5 handed a crystal ball to Shi Wanyun.

"This is..." Shi Wanyun looked at the walnut-sized crystal ball emitting white light in her hand, and asked in surprise, "The core of the tree house?"

"Well... there are some existences similar to the core of the tree house, and they all contain a lot of energy." No. 5 explained, "This crystal ball was given to you by the master, and it should contain the information you need for this mission. .”

"Information?" Shi Wanyun squeezed the crystal ball in her hand, put it in front of her eyes and looked inside, "How do you look at it?"

The crystal ball is translucent, and the interior is hazy, and nothing can be seen.

It seems like a miniature version of the tree house core.

"It doesn't look like that." No. 5 laughed, "It will start automatically when the time is right, you just need to pay attention at all times."

"Automatic activation..." Shi Wanyun was thoughtful, "Is it projecting images like a watch?"

"You'll know when the time comes. You can't start it now, maybe it's because I'm by your side." No. 5 looked at the crystal ball and said, "Maybe the master just wants you to see the information."

"I see." Shi Wanyun didn't put away the crystal ball, but held it in her hand, "Then I now..."

"I'll see you off, come with me."

Shi Wanyun followed behind her, and after walking a short distance in the corridor, No. 5 pushed open a door.

The scenery behind the door made Shi Wanyun's eyes widen slowly.

what did she see

Ponds, running water, bamboo forests, courtyards, sea of ​​flowers.

There are also very Chinese pavilions.

Even, there are crisp birdsong from time to time.

Unlike the dimly lit corridor that she had just walked along, the sun was shining brightly here. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she felt the warmth of the sun shining on her body.

"this……"

Shi Wanyun immediately turned her head to look at the door she walked in.

The door is still there.

It's just that the green plants climbing the wall are all over the door, as if hiding the door in such a cave.

"We... have been teleported to another place?" She asked in surprise, "This door, is it a teleportation door?"

"Portal? Haha, of course not." No. 5 smiled and shook his head, "We didn't go anywhere, we just passed through a gate. This is still in the World Tree. Welcome to the place where I live."

"Where do you... live?" Shi Wanyun's red lips parted slightly, amazed at everything in front of her.

Here, she has seen too many strange things.

Just walking along the way, she also saw many unusual situations, but she didn't react to them, because she was a little numb to it, she thought that there was nothing to surprise her except for the monster reappearing up.

But it seems that she thinks highly of herself.

When she arrived, she really couldn't keep her composure.

She never thought that there would be such an amazing area in the treehouse of the World Tree.

This shocked her even more than the space above the elevator!

Who would have thought that in this world tree, in this giant tree house, there is actually a piece of...

garden?

A paradise?

No. 5 looked at her expression with interest: "Surprised?"

"...Well, I'm surprised." Shi Wanyun took a few steps forward and looked around, "Aren't we in a tree now, there is such a world in the tree..."

The stream was less than ten meters in front of her, she stepped forward and looked down.

The stream is clear and flowing slowly, and there are even fish swimming in the water.

The ground is no longer a wooden floor, but soft soil.

Looking up, she realized that although this area was indoors, it was surprisingly high, nearly twenty meters high, or about six floors high!

What surprised her the most was that the upper part was not the same wooden ceiling as in other areas, but was made up of pieces of rounded stones.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a cobblestone road in a park.

Unlike pebbles, the blocks are relatively large, each the size of a football.

And most importantly, these are not ordinary stones.

Instead, it exudes a white light, a crystal stone!

It seems that the cores of huge tree houses have been pieced together to form this ceiling like a work of art.

There are no windows in this paradise-like area, and the outside light can't shine in at all. Even so, it is still as bright as the day in the morning.

As soon as she entered here, she felt as if the sun was shining on her body, which was very warm.

So... it's not the sunlight that keeps her warm, but these... the white light emitted by the super-large core?

"Don't underestimate this World Tree." No. 5 also came up behind him, "The highest point of this World Tree is 300 meters, and the canopy stretches for a radius of two kilometers. The actual usable area is very huge."

In this way...

"so big!"

With a radius of two kilometers, the area is more than twelve square kilometers, nearly 20,000 mu of land!

Not to mention the natural invincible space utilization rate of the tree house, the height of 300 meters can be used casually, unlike the outside world, where tall buildings need to be built to barely use a little high-altitude space.

It's almost as big as a city!

In this world tree, it is not a problem to live millions of people, right?

When she saw this giant tree outside, she just felt a little shocked, but she didn't expect this...

"So, my place looks very big, but it doesn't actually take up much space of the whole tree." No. 5 laughed, "Of course, there are only a few people who own such a garden. After all, this tree Most of the area is not used for living, but for other purposes."

Shi Wanyun's eyes moved.

The meaning of other uses... refers to those genetic experiments, right?

"But even so, there is still plenty of remaining space here, and a small part is still empty and has not been used." No. 5 walked forward along the stream, and Shi Wanyun followed behind her.

"You can use most of this tree, you are really strong..." Shi Wanyun sighed.

No. 5 looked at her: "I mean, after you complete this task and come back, you can also have a living area like this here."

Shi Wanyun was silent for a moment, and said: "Is it just me? Wouldn't that be a bit lonely..."

"Of course not." No. 5 pointed to the pavilions in front of him. "Many people can live there. As long as they are here, I can let them live here at any time, but I personally like to be quiet."

"You can let other people come in together..."

"Of course, and as I said, the master has almost never interfered with our affairs except for setting some unbreakable rules. So..."

No. 5 smiled slightly: "If you have someone you care about, even if he doesn't meet our requirements, you can still bring him in."

"Can you bring other survivors in? Can you do it anytime?" Shi Wanyun immediately turned to look at No. 5.

"As long as you have a status like mine, you can naturally." The voice of No. 5 was seductive, "You survivors are still in dire straits, right? If you have someone who is worried, you can naturally send The other party took it over, so that he would end his survival ahead of schedule, and there would be no more danger."

"...Won't this kind of thing violate the regulations?" Shi Wanyun asked.

"Of course not. But... since they are not selected, they cannot participate in our genetic modification program, and cannot have a long lifespan and strong physical ability like us."

"...wait a minute, them? Can I bring a lot of people?"

"Of course, but not too many." Number 5 thought for a while and said, "Five or six people should be fine, seven or eight at most."

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Shi Wanyun felt that her heart had begun to shake wildly.

It is a lie to say that you are not moved.

She now feels that being able to live in this kind of place, away from the crisis, seems to be...very, very attractive.

The people brought here by her don't need to participate in the genetic modification program, and don't need to become that kind of monster.

And No. 5 also told her that they also have genetic mutations that don't make them monsters, just like No. 5 herself, they are no different from ordinary people, so she doesn't have to worry too much.

Although she held an extremely negative attitude towards the monster she had seen before with her disgust and fear from the bottom of her heart, but...

It had to be said that the other party didn't seem to have done anything to hurt her.

And No. 5 also said that it only appeared once or twice in more than ten years, and it usually didn't cause any impact at all.

Although she was a little skeptical about the purpose of this genetic project, but in this dangerous world, it provided a safe and luxurious residence, and gave her the hope of returning to the original world...

She was already looking forward to it!

but……

Her mission was to kill Xu Xin, the strongest among the survivors, the one who had the most hope of leading most of the survivors to survive.

Also her savior.

...what on earth should she do...

At this time, No. 5 had brought Shi Wanyun to the gate of the courtyard, and asked her, "Go in and have a seat?"

"En." Shi Wanyun nodded.

The two walked into the hospital.

It's not the complicated Chinese-style compound that Shi Wanyun imagined.

As soon as you enter, there is a small courtyard.

There are rockery, pools and gazebos.

"Go and sit in the pavilion." Perhaps because of some privacy, No. 5 did not invite her into the building, but looked at the pavilion in the middle of the small lake in the courtyard.

"good."

The two walked into the pavilion and sat down.

Sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by pools covered with lotus leaves, there are a few blooming lotus flowers.

It would be more comfortable if there was a few more breezes, but unfortunately there is no wind here.

"Are those glowing stones above replacing the sunlight, so these plants can still grow like this." Shi Wanyun pointed to the blooming lotus on the water.

"Part of it."

No. 5 took out a tea set from nowhere, brewed a pot of tea, and poured two cups.

"Plants can indeed grow by relying on the light of power stones, but in this world tree, they actually rely on the energy of the world tree, which is enough to grow, and those power stones can only make them grow faster. More power stones The role is still lighting."

Are these crystals called power stones, so these are only used for lighting?

She looked at the flat pieces of crystal stones with almost no gaps above them.

All of them are exuding bright and soft white light.

...I always feel that this woman is doing a very extravagant thing.

"Do you want to know what these are?"

"Want to know."

How similar this thing was to the core of the tree house, she naturally wanted to know.

"I can't tell you for now." No. 5 picked up the teacup and blew on it, then took a sip.

"Master said, when you come back from completing this mission, you will be at the same level as me. I will tell you everything I know at that time. You are not qualified to know these secrets yet."

Shi Wanyun nodded.

That's right, No. 5 can tell her so much information now, which is already very friendly to her.

"So, what should I do now?"

"Before tonight, I will send you to where you should go."

"Where I should go is...Send me back?"

No. 5 shook his head: "I don't know either, I'm only responsible for activating the teleportation device."

Is it a teleportation device...

Shi Wanyun was not surprised.

It's strange that there is no teleportation device here.

"So, you can stay here until the evening, and the time to leave is up to you."

"Then...tonight." Shi Wanyun thought for a while, then said softly, "I want to learn more here."

If she goes back now, she will be very entangled.

Although it's nothing to exchange the life of a survivor for her future, and it's not like she hasn't killed people in this world, but...

She still can't do such things as ungrateful.

Unless it's very attractive.

She wants to see it again.

"OK."

...

This is, Xu Xin's mind darkened.

He opened his eyes, only to realize that Shi Wanyun was too tired to keep his eyes open.

"I...so tired." Shi Wanyun said wearily, "I'm mentally tired."

"Aren't you tired?"

"Hmm... so it's so tiring to share memories with others..."

Shi Wanyun couldn't keep her eyes open, she leaned sideways on the back of the sofa, as if she was about to fall asleep.

But Xu Xin didn't want her to sleep, so he threw an orange to her.

"Replenish your energy, I want to know the follow-up."

Shi Wanyun looked at the orange thrown on her, and there was a moment of resentment in her eyes: "...I see."

Then she began to peel the oranges slowly.

Xu Xin took the opportunity to think about what happened just now.

The amount of information in the story just now is not insignificant.

What he cares most about is the pocket watch photo Shi Wanyun received about him.

"Do you still have that photo of me?"

"Yes, but..." Shi Wanyun chewed the tangerine, and said a little inarticulately, "It's not in my hands now, it's in my tree house."

Xu Xin nodded.

He did not find any pocket watch in Shi Wanyun's backpack.

but……

The him on the pocket watch should be the image of Xu Xin without a doubt.

And knowing the existence of Xu Xin, the image with blood streaks, can only be the existence in the collapsed world back then.

The alien invasion of that world is coming together with Xu Xin and the others!

Back then, Xu Xin's team spent hundreds of years making a time machine. After people from the future traveled back to the past, the whole world fell into a state of chaos in time and space.

According to the video Xu Xin at the time, this kind of chaos has been noticed by most people, and it has obviously affected people's lives.

That being the case, the alien invaders in that time and space should also be able to detect the chaos of time and space.

Of course, the space-time chaos was caused by Xu Xin's organization. Even if the alien invaders were aware of it, they would definitely not be able to find the cause of the space-time chaos in a short time.

Therefore, the members of the organization who went back to the past at that time generally believed that they were the only members of the organization who fled from the collapsed future to the past.

but……

Is it really?

Alien invaders have a technological level far superior to that of humans on Earth. Couldn't they make a time machine that a human team can make?
