Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

The story is not as complicated as imagined.

Twenty years ago, the lackeys of the alien invaders came to the Wei family and found the current head of the Wei family, Wei Bai.

The purpose is to let the high-level human beings in the underground world cooperate with the human beings on the ground.

At that time, Weibo was shocked that there were still human beings surviving on the ground, so he had a very formal meeting with them.

At that time, the lackeys of the alien invaders were very kind and polite. Their attitude could not even be called "negotiation", but "discussion".

They told Wei Bo the situation on the ground, and showed Wei Bo the state of the prosperous human city on the ground in the form of photos and holographic projections.

Wei Bo saw the sky for the first time, and he was extremely excited at that time, because his lifelong pursuit was to bring the people in the underground world to see the sun again.

The other party told him that as long as they form an alliance with them and continue to cooperate, the human beings who have lived in the underground world for a long time can return to the ground and see the light.

For Wei Bai, this condition is too generous and tempting.

But...he didn't agree at the time.

"When the group of people talked with Grandpa, they didn't mention the alien invaders, but kept saying...'Gods'." Wei Shishi looked at the table in a daze, and said softly.

There were a total of two people who talked with him, a man and a woman, and when they mentioned "gods", their eyes would have a hint of fanaticism.

At first, Wei Bo only thought it was their belief, and didn't think much about it.

Because of belief, such things are too common in the underground world.

In this oppressive underground world where the sky is only three kilometers away, if people do not have faith, it will be difficult for them to survive.

And the two statues of Xu Xin and Xu Ying represented by the central city are the biggest beliefs in the underground world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are religions.

In the base of the underground world, nearly half of the people believed in these two "gods", because it was these two "gods" that gave them the greatest hope.

"Of course, I don't believe in you. Because our Wei family are all atheists."

Wei Shishi glanced at Xu Xin and said.

"Although our Wei family has not fully disclosed your identities, we have all hinted that you are human beings who have traveled through time through technological means and whose lifespan has been extended."

"In the eyes of our Wei family, you are very powerful humans, not gods. Of course, many people still respect you very much. For a family like ours, it is inevitable to respect the strong, but this is not a belief."

Xu Xin smiled bitterly.

The god they worship is not him, but Xu Xin from that time and space.

He seems to be... a bit pretentious.

But Xu Ying beside them is indeed the "god" they believe in.

Wei Shishi continued.

With the blessing of this underground world of god-worshipping atmosphere, Wei Bai didn't have any superfluous views on the "gods" that the other party kept mentioning to protect them at first.

But during the discussion, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

The other party did not mention at all that the biggest enemy on the ground was the alien invaders who invaded the earth thousands of years ago, slaughtered a large number of life on earth, and almost wiped out the human race on earth.

From the other party's explanation, he soon realized that the other party was a lackey of the alien invaders!

He also saw the red lines on the other party's wrist that he inadvertently revealed, and immediately understood everything.

As the head of an aristocratic family that has lasted for thousands of years, Wei Bai would certainly not be too rude.

He kept his cool and used a friendly and positive attitude to extract a lot of information from the other party.

And that information made him even more frightened.

It was also at this time that he learned about the so-called "survivors".

Yes, he knew most of what happened on the ground.

Twenty years ago, three groups of survivors came to the surface of the earth.

As a leader of the underground world, he has been nurtured since he was a child, and he almost hates the alien invaders on the ground, so he naturally cannot agree to this matter.

He tried many methods, but he couldn't figure out how to get the other party to the underground world and how to get back.

Without knowing how the other party got to the underground world, he didn't know how to counterattack.

That negotiation is over. There is no failure and no success.

The reason Wei Bai gave was that there were hundreds of millions of people in the underground world, and it was not so easy to decide the fate of hundreds of millions of people. He needed some time to think about it.

The other party also understood this.

After that, the hidden factory of the Wei family began to manufacture weapons and equipment with all their strength. Even though the resources at that time were already in short supply, the Wei family still consumed most of the spare resources to carry out stronger armaments, so as to be prepared.

During this period, Wei Bai also held discussions with the heads of the other two major families.

After all, his Wei family alone is not enough to solve such a big problem.

But the result was not ideal.

The other two families do not have the same inheritance as the Wei family, unlike the heads of the Wei family in previous generations who have had contact with Xu Xin and others.

They have no obsession with returning to the ground, and no deep-seated hatred of alien invaders.

After all, it was all a thousand years ago.

For them, what happened thousands of years ago has already passed through forty or fifty generations, and they have basically no impressions or feelings.

Moreover, those rumors that the ground is full of dangers and like hell are spread by them. The purpose is to prevent people from still yearning for the ground and wanting to return to the ground.

The heads of the two families didn't have any opinions on the fact that there were still humans on the ground.

They even believe that the legend of alien invaders conquering the earth thousands of years ago is not necessarily true. It is likely that some geological disaster on the ground caused humans to immigrate underground. Today’s ground is no longer suitable for survival, and there is no need to go up. .

In short, their attitude is very simple. The ground is too dangerous, and going against alien invaders is asking for death. Whatever you want to do, don't get involved with us, and don't bring trouble to the underground world.

Even though resources were scarce at the time, they had no plans to return to the ground. They plan to solve this problem from other underground areas. After all, the underground world is very big.

In the end, the negotiation came to nothing.

"Wait...the other two families also know about this?"

Xu Xin asked with a frown.

"...According to what grandpa said, only the heads of the two families should know about it, and these two people have not publicized it to the outside world. Because if the residents of the underground world know that there are people on the ground, and even come to pick them up, then there will always be Some people yearn for the ground. I’m afraid there will be chaos.”

This is indeed true.

The people here have been taught that the ground is dangerous since they were young. The sun will cause the whole body to fester and die. As a result, now there are humans on the ground coming down, and they plan to take them up...

Lies or truth, which side will people choose?

Perhaps the older generation will choose the former and continue to live a stable life, but the new generation may set off a wave of resistance.

For the sake of the stability of the human base in the underground world, the heads of the three families decided not to make this matter public.

"That's why, although the heads of the three families have always known about this matter, other people in the base area did not know it at all. I only learned about this matter from my grandfather's mouth until yesterday."

yesterday……

Um.

Although several days have passed in Xu Xin's subjective time, he spent most of his time in the World Tree.

Judging from the time outside the World Tree, Xu Ying and Li Wenxi only came back this morning.

The siege of World Tree also happened yesterday.

"What happened after that?" Xu Xin was a little confused, "So it seems that your grandfather did not want to rebel?"

Wei Shishi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "Those lackeys brought the largest attack in history... by mutated creatures!"

Wei Bai himself actually didn't want to have anything to do with these people.

He is someone who has met Xu Ying and Xu Ying, he knows what is going on on the ground, and he knows the virtues of the other party's lackeys.

The opponent's sudden appearance made him a little helpless, so he could only defend passively.

This is also the neutralization method he discussed with the three Patriarchs.

If you are really worried, just let the Wei family in charge of arming strengthen their strength, and make sure that the other party does not hurt them.

As a family that exploits controlled resources, the Yuan family will also open the gates to the Wei family.

After that, Wei Bo discussed with the two humans who came from the ground again, and told them that the people underground had no plans to return to the ground.

The other party expressed regret at the time and left without saying anything.

Things got out of hand after that.

A few days later, mutated creatures appeared in several cities in the hinterland of the underground human base.

That's right, they didn't attack from the periphery of the underground human base.

Those mutated creatures that were originally surrounded by the underground human base suddenly appeared in large numbers in the hinterland for some reason!

Although it did not appear in the most central city, several surrounding cities have been attacked!

That battle was extremely brutal!

Although only single-digit cities were affected, these are the most densely populated cities among the underground human bases!

Even if the Wei family had a weapon that could easily kill mutant creatures, it would not be able to save the enemy from attacking the enemy.

And in this battle, Wei Bai's son, Wei Shishi's father, who was about to inherit the position of Wei Bai's patriarch, died together with her mother under the siege of mutant creatures.

Those who surrounded and suppressed them were all advanced mutant creatures.

Even though they were protected to the highest degree, the Wei family used their weapons to severely injure the other party, but in the end they were sitting on the fighter plane when they were preparing to evacuate, and were attacked by flying mutant creatures, causing the plane to crash and kill everyone.

Wei Shishi said, her emotions didn't fluctuate much: "When they died, I was still young, and I don't have much memory about them. But grandpa..."

When Wei Bo arrived at the scene, he only saw the unrecognizable bodies of the two.

Fortunately, the plane had just taken off at that time, and the speed was not fast, so it could be regarded as leaving a whole body.

Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is the most painful thing. After that, Wei Bai became decadent, his temperament changed drastically, and he stopped participating in decision-making at all.

The Patriarch of the next generation died, and the Patriarch was decadent. Wei Shishi was still a little girl at that time, and the Wei family at that time was completely messed up.

"Grandpa's change of temperament is not simply because of the death of my parents." Wei Shishi bit her lips and said, "If it's just the two of them who died, grandpa as the head of the family will not put it aside no matter how sad he is. The Wei family was left in a state of decadence for nearly a year."

"...Those lackeys have come to touch your grandfather again." Xu Xin sighed.

"That's right." Wei Shishi nodded.

The other party did not know what method they used to enter Wei Bai's private room, and at the same time directly showed Wei Bai: they were the ones responsible for the mutated creatures.

They said this was the price Weibo paid for rejecting them.

This is also telling the humans in the underground world that you have no ability to resist.

If we don't cooperate with them, everyone in the underground world will die in pain like Wei Bai's son and daughter-in-law.

At that time, as the head of the Wei family, Wei Bai, who had a stable mentality, had a very strong impulse to kill for the first time and acted on it.

But it didn't work out.

The opponent was well prepared, and even his face was well protected. The gun in Wei Bai's hand did not even make the opponent retreat.

The firearm he used for self-protection was not a top-notch weapon, but it was one of the most powerful among portable handguns. Even so, it did not hurt the opponent at all.

This time, the other party had a completely arrogant attitude, which was completely opposite to his previous kind and humble attitude.

After subduing Wei Bai, the other party did not harm Wei Bai, but made him a very tempting offer.

Even if you cooperate with them, most of the humans in the underground world will die because their "gods" don't need so many humans, but if you don't cooperate with them, everyone will die.

As long as Wei Bai agrees to let the Wei family serve as the base for above-ground forces to penetrate underground, then they can guarantee that people in this central city, including the Wei family, will not die.

At the same time... they will resurrect Wei Shishi's parents.

"Resurrection?" Xu Xin's pupils shrank suddenly, "Is it true? Or is it fake?"

"It's fake." Xu Ying shook her head, "But Wei Bai always thought it was true, because..."

"Because those two lackeys brought my father back to life in front of grandpa." Wei Shishi said.

The other party seemed to have deliberately left the whole bodies of Wei Shishi's parents when they died.

At that time, the two men had not been dead for more than a day and had not yet been buried.

Under the actions of the other two, Wei Bai's son's already cold body sat up in front of Wei Bai's shocked and ecstatic eyes, and even said with difficulty: "Dad..."

Then lie down again.

"Those lackeys told him that my parents' brains were not damaged and could be resurrected if stimulated and repaired." Wei Shishi whispered, "However, the choice must be made within half a day."

Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying shook her head: "Other functions of the body have stopped. It is impossible for the brain to be repaired, let alone one day. It is already completely dead."

It is indeed the case.

The brain is the most precious and fragile part of the human body. Even if it is deprived of oxygen for only a few minutes, while other body parts are still healthy, the brain will die suddenly.

This is why there are so many vegetative people with sound body functions but brain-dead consciousness.

In most cases, the brain is the first organ to die.

I have been dead for a day, and my brain is probably already...

"But grandpa did see my father sit up and speak. He believed at that time that alien technology already had the ability to medically repair dead brains. After all..."

Wei Shishi looked at Xu Ying: "After all, Grandpa has seen people who lived hundreds of years and can make people live forever. Why can't he come back from the dead?"

"...This is impossible." Xu Xin frowned.

"Of course it's impossible." Xu Ying shook her head.

"It doesn't matter that we can live so long. Extending life span is based on the survival of life. Even in nature, there are some examples of similar immortality, such as lighthouse jellyfish. But resurrection from the dead is pure nonsense. . If the dead lives can be saved, then those alien invaders may really be called gods."

"But grandpa didn't think so at the time. At that time, he believed that in the face of the intruder's force, it was impossible for our Wei family to protect everyone, and even... no one could be protected."

Wei Shishi looked at the two of them with red eyes: "If it were you, what would you choose?"

"On the one hand, everyone is going to die together, all lives are in ruins, and the underground world has become a complete purgatory."

"On the other side, some people can survive, and my parents and his son can also be resurrected."

"There is only half a day to choose. After half a day, my parents will be completely dead and will never have a chance to live again."

"If it were you, what would you choose?"
