Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Xu Ying informed everyone present about what she knew.

"There are... hundreds of millions of people in the underground world?"

The explorers all looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

This was something they had never imagined.

"But, if there are hundreds of millions of people... based on the area here, it can't bear it, right?" Wang Lei said with some difficulty.

The internal space of the World Tree is indeed large, but it is too difficult to squeeze hundreds of millions of people into the area of ​​a small prefecture-level city.

They are very excited to know that there are still so many humans on the earth, but... this is too much.

"Ah, of course it is impossible to bring everyone here." Xu Ying waved her hand, "The area of ​​​​this World Tree has actually far exceeded the area we originally planned. This World Tree was originally only used to undertake The most important thing is technology and personnel, but now that the area is so large, we can take on more people."

"What do you mean by sophisticated equipment just now?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

"It's what you imagine, the top weapons and equipment of mankind." Xu Ying turned to look at Li Wenxi, "Sister-in-law has already experienced the power of our weapons."

"Ah..." Li Wenxi raised her hand, "I have indeed seen it before. Although there have been gaps in the inheritance of the underground world, it has recovered to a population of hundreds of millions after thousands of years. Their current weapons and equipment are no different from ours. It’s a match for the most powerful weapon of mankind thousands of years ago.”

Humanity's most powerful weapon?

"Nuclear?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched and asked.

"Um...I haven't seen it, but..." Li Wenxi turned to look at Xu Ying.

"Yes." Xu Ying nodded calmly, "We have all the weapons you can think of. Of course, we no longer have satellites, so satellite-guided precision strikes are not possible, but gyro-inertial guidance is possible."

"So strong!"

Everyone needs to digest this news.

They were not people in this field a thousand years ago. They basically knew nothing about mankind's most sophisticated weapons except for some knowledge out of interest.

But what they know is that these weapons are definitely much stronger than their current weapons!

Their equipment will need to be replaced immediately!

"Originally, we decided to use the underground world as the location of the weapons processing factory to continuously provide weapons to the ground. However, something happened below, which caused most of the underground factory to be destroyed."

Xu Ying and Li Wenxi looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"But this World Tree is really a timely help!" Xu Ying clicked on the position of the World Tree on the small blackboard, with a slightly excited smile on her face, "A hundred times the flow of time is simply what we need most now. ! If manufacturing is carried out here, the efficiency will be nearly a hundred times faster than outside!"

Transfer the weapons manufacturing in the underground world to the World Tree?

"Is this easy?" Li Wenxi asked worriedly, "Isn't it already..."

"It's easy, don't worry." Xu Ying said confidently, "The core components have not been destroyed, and those that were destroyed can be rebuilt within a month. In this month in the World Tree, only six or seven hours have passed in the outside world. That’s all.”

"Ah...!" At this time, Zeng Tao on the side suddenly shouted, and then looked at Xu Xin with a very resentful look, and Ma Hongwei on the side muttered in a low voice, "Doesn't that mean that I have suffered all this time in vain? …”

She has been researching a portable cannon, but now that there is a more powerful weapon, her efforts will be in vain.

This really makes me feel more and more aggrieved the more I think about it!

"No, Taozi, you are a very important person." Xu Ying said to Zeng Tao, "Your ability will play a huge role."

"Ah?" Zeng Tao was stunned, "I'm very important... what did you call me?"

"Taozi, you were also a member of our organization back then." Xu Ying looked at her and blinked, "You were a very important weapons researcher for us back then, ah, so was Ma Hongwei."

She turned to look at Ma Hongwei on the side. Ma Hongwei had no mood swings and just nodded politely.

"Am I a weapons researcher?" Zeng Tao pointed at herself, eyes widening, "Really or not..."

"Well, but your personality is indeed a bit different from before..." Xu Ying looked at Zeng Tao in front of her, and the feeling of disobedience in her heart couldn't help but rise. "In my impression, you have always been a very cold-blooded person." Wu Xiaololi, when I saw you for the first time just now, I almost didn’t recognize you..."

"Me? Emotionally cold?" Zeng Tao blinked.

"Oh? What about me? What was that me like?" Wen Guixin pointed at herself and asked curiously, "What was I like then?"

"Um..." Xu Ying looked at her, her pupils trembled, and she pursed her lips and said, "It's about the same as you are now, Sister Guixin."

"That's it..."

"It's normal to have personality differences."

Seeing that the others were also eager to ask, Xu Xin interrupted at the right moment.

"That group of people at that time had experienced great changes and disasters, so it is not surprising that their personalities changed drastically. Well, let's talk about these things later. Yingying, can Zeng Tao help make weapons?"

"That's right." Xu Ying nodded, "Your current tree house can actually be regarded as an automatic production workshop with space-time capabilities. You only need to input instructions to create equipment."

Everyone nodded.

This statement sounds a bit confusing, but it is true.

Ever since they came to this world and planted the treehouse, they have been using the synthesis bench, weapon manufacturing bench and other workbenches in the treehouse to quickly manufacture various tools, furniture, and weapons and equipment.

And after unlocking the decoration level and functional areas in subsequent activities, functions such as smelting and planting have also been greatly improved.

There is nothing wrong with saying that the tree house is a small industrial factory.

"And you survivors are the owners of these 'production workshops' and have the ability to use these 'workshops', so other survivors are also very important."

Xu Ying looked at the tree houses and temporary stone houses outside: "If possible, we need as many survivors as possible, so that our production efficiency will be greatly improved."

It is also of great use to ordinary survivors.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing, the tree house itself has great abilities. The small tree house seeds you planted were developed by us to give you a place to live, but for some reason, you were invaded by the invaders. Cut off the beard.”

Xu Ying frowned slightly.

"The abilities of the tree house are blocked. Only through some so-called 'activities' can the abilities of the tree house be unlocked step by step. Then a step-by-step screening process will be carried out."

Xu Ying's doubts continued.

I don't know what the other party wants to do. Is it just to study mutant humans?

She still can't fully understand the situation in that World Tree.

And in the room on No. 5, there are creepy half-human, half-monster experimental subjects in capsules all over the wall.

That experiment might even have been conducted without the knowledge of other alien invaders.

This gave her some bad premonitions.

Wang Lei on the side asked at this time, "There are two million survivors in our group, and everyone has tree house seeds. Are these all developed by you?"

"That's definitely impossible." Xu Ying shook her head, "We should only send more than 30,000 people to the future a thousand years later, because our team only has that many people. We sent you here in the first place just so that we can reach that era. , we cannot send so many people to the future."

"So who are the survivors now..." There was a trace of doubt in Zhao Xiaochuan's tone.

"...It must be the fault of alien invaders." Xu Ying's eyes darkened.

It was probably the monster who traveled through time and space who was like her.

That's what Shi Wanyun saw, the one covered in black and full of eyes, somewhat similar to humans...a half-human, half-monster.

"Didn't you develop the tree house seeds?" Ji Chaoyang asked.

"The small tree house seeds were developed by us, but they are actually based on the development of the alien invaders themselves." Xu Ying explained, "The tree houses you live in are all mutated forms of banyan trees. This You should know this."

That's right, whether it's a small tree house or a world tree, they are actually banyan trees, and banyan trees are life on earth.

"Actually, the first thing that appeared was not the small tree house you have been living in, but this huge world tree." Xu Ying looked out the window at the endless deserted plains.

Did the World Tree appear before the tree house?

“The World Tree was originally developed by alien invaders who used the banyan trees on our planet to conduct countless genetic modification experiments and used them to colonize this planet.

They only need to carry a seed to make a huge world tree rise from the ground, thereby controlling an area, which is very convenient and convenient.

Just a few years after World Tree was developed, there were already large areas in the hemisphere occupied and affected by World Tree. And we, in the seventeenth year of our captivity, lived in the World Tree. "

After looking around at everyone's expressions, she continued: "The small tree house you have was developed based on a World Tree seed that we were lucky enough to obtain. It is a small variant of the World Tree that can be easily mass-produced. .”

This news surprised everyone.

It turns out that World Tree is the original tree house?

And it was researched by alien invaders!

"The reason why we were able to develop the small tree house one step ahead of them is simply because the other party at that time did not have any demand for such a personal small tree house." Xu Ying sighed and said helplessly, "For alien invaders It’s not difficult for them to mass-produce small tree house seeds. As long as they want to, they can do it.”

"So that's it..." Xu Xin nodded slowly.

It would be too easy for alien invaders who can develop ordinary banyan trees into giant world trees to mass-produce small tree houses.

It is even said that this kind of small tree house may have been researched long ago when they made the ordinary banyan tree grow huge and turn into a world tree, but it was not used because it was a useless waste.

After all, it's so small, they need to be big.

But now, they seem to have mass-produced this seed and used it on human survivors.

"Of course, each of the small tree house seeds we developed ourselves has been carefully cultivated and tested, so compared to their mass-produced seeds, their functions are still much stronger."

Xu Ying patted the wall of the tree house: "This tree house is obviously the small tree house we developed. Functionally speaking, under the influence of the World Tree, all tree house functional restrictions are gone. Even if In this way, your treehouse will still be much better than the treehouses of other survivors."

As she spoke, she patted her chest and showed a slightly proud expression: "The products produced by our team must be high-quality."

"...You just mentioned that you were lucky enough to obtain the seed of a World Tree. Could it be this World Tree?" Xu Xin pointed down.

"Yes." Xu Ying nodded and admitted, "It is this World Tree. It is also one of the keys to this plan. Well... now should be considered the most critical point. The flow rate at this time is really much higher than expected."

At this time, Ji Chaoyang spoke.

"Xu Ying, I would like to ask, are the weapons in your hands just... reaching the level of a thousand years ago? You... should have higher-tech weapons, right?"

This is actually the question Xu Xin has always wanted to ask.

The pinnacle weapon from thousands of years ago, although it is very strong for them, but against alien invaders...

Thousands of years ago, seven billion people on earth and so many powerful countries were completely defeated. What could they do with these weapons?

Not to mention that alien invaders have also developed for another thousand years!

Xu Ying was silent for a few seconds and said: "We can quickly mass-produce the weapons I just mentioned. These weapons, combined with World Tree and Crystal City, are enough for us to protect ourselves and give us time to develop."

"There are also more advanced weapons, which are the alien technological weapons developed by our team standing on the shoulders of the alien invaders, but... now is not the time to bring them out. You don't have the ability yet, nor do you have enough energy. and technology to use, manufacture, and even mass-produce those weapons.”

As she spoke, her face dimmed slightly.

Those weapons are all weapons from another time and space. Once she hands over those weapons, she will probably...

…There’s no use giving it to them now.

And at this stage, she still needs to transfer the skills and talents below. If she is gone, it will be difficult to handle.

To be honest, there was a reason not to give away the weapons and technology, so she was relieved in her heart.

She doesn't want to die yet.

"So, we need to take the first step. Yingying, do you want to send the equipment and people up now?" Xu Xin asked.

"Ah... I'm not that anxious." Xu Ying looked out the window, "Time flows so fast here, so... we shouldn't be in a hurry for a day or two, right? We should give priority to developing this place, and then we can take over the following tasks. matching package.”

Xu Ying's eyes were a little evasive at this time, and she couldn't tell without looking carefully, and her hands were also folded in front of her chest.

Um……?

Seeing her appearance at this time, Xu Xin raised her eyebrows slightly.

He was very familiar with the look of this girl.

This is obviously what she looks like when she lies.

What is this hiding?

"Is it really safe here? Our survivors are still a little worried that something will go wrong here." Qi Xuefei suddenly asked.

"Ah, don't worry about this for the time being." Xu Ying pointed to the roots of the World Tree on the small blackboard, "The root system of the World Tree is very developed, going thousands of meters underground and extending to areas hundreds of kilometers away."

At the same time, she introduced the structure of the World Tree:

"The World Tree matures under the energy supply of the crystal energy core, so the strength of the tree can even reach about 10% of the crystal. Don't underestimate this 10%, you should all know the strength of the crystal, even if it is 10% The strength of the crystal makes it almost impossible to damage it.”

"Moreover, it doesn't matter even if it is damaged. The World Tree can recover by absorbing nutrients and energy from the earth. Not only can it feed back energy to the crystal energy core, but even if the tree body is damaged, it can recover quickly, and the recovery speed is extremely fast. Quickly and invisible to the naked eye.”

Finally, she concluded: "So, the World Tree is still very safe. At least I never heard that the World Tree was destroyed."
