Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Everyone was frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster.

Xu Xin was already covered in cold sweat at this time, staring intently at the monster leaning against the wall in front of him.

Seeing this monster up close with your own eyes for the first time is really mind-boggling...

Somewhat nauseating.

Fortunately, the monster in front of him has closed all the other eyes on his body. Although this appearance still makes people have goosebumps all over their bodies, at least it is not completely impossible to look at.

"You...how did you get in!"

Xu Ying walked to the front of the crowd in two steps and stood in front of everyone.

Although she is also afraid of the monster in front of her, she is also the person who knows the monster in front of her best among the people present. If she doesn't stand up, how can others stand up?

"You are my kind." The half-human, half-monster creature looked at Xu Ying, grinning even wider.

"Who is the same kind as you!" Xu Ying pointed the gun in her hand at the monster in front of her, "How did you get in? You don't think you can do whatever you want in our World Tree!"

"Don't be impulsive." The monster stretched out its two very uncoordinated arms, which were longer than its legs, and pressed down. "I don't want to conflict with you this time. , but, cooperation.”

It spoke slowly and intermittently, but in the end it was said completely.

"cooperate?"

Everyone in the explorers was shocked by the words of the monster in front of them, but no one put down their weapons and still pointed the black muzzle at the monster in front of them.

However, except Xu Ying, everyone remained silent for the time being.

Because Xu Ying said, the monster in front of him has a very weird temper, and it is impossible to predict what it will do in the next second.

At this time, it will be much safer because Xu Ying, whom it knows, is responsible for the test.

"What do you mean by cooperation?" Xu Ying's tone was slightly relaxed.

It's not that she has relaxed her vigilance against the monster in front of her, it's just that this monster does have a history of cooperating with their organization, and more than once.

Therefore, these words spoken from the mouth of the monster in front of him are indeed somewhat convincing.

The monster did not answer Xu Ying's question, but looked at Xu Xin. A trace of complicated emotions seemed to flash through the only two open eyes.

Then it looked at Shi Wanyun, who was sitting on the sofa and staring blankly at the ground.

Then, its mouth opened again: "Shi Wanyun? You haven't completed the task I gave you."

Shi Wanyun's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously raised her head to look at the monster.

She soon discovered that she no longer seemed to have the bone-deep fear she had before about the monster in front of her.

Although it still makes people feel physically uncomfortable, and although there is still some fear, it is more because the monster's appearance is so ugly, coupled with the previous psychological shadow.

This situation made her let out a slow breath, and the frightened look on her face slowly disappeared.

She stood up and looked at the monster: "I am no longer under your control. Naturally, I can no longer kill Xu Xin as you wish."

She took two steps forward, and together with Xu Ying, stood in front of Xu Xin.

Li Wenxi also took two steps towards Xu Xin, aiming the weapon at the monster's head.

Xu Xin said at this moment: "I think, now you don't want to kill me anymore."

"Of course." The monster took a step forward.

"Don't move!" Xu Ying yelled sharply, "In this World Tree, you are no match for me!"

"I, I told you, I have no hostility." The monster turned to look at Xu Ying, and the two eyes on his neck also opened. At the same time, the other eyes on his body also tended to open.

However, it still closed the eye on its neck and spat out words from its mouth full of sharp teeth: "I really can't do anything to you here, but what about them? What about the humans outside? Think about it. "

Xu Ying's grip on the gun was even tighter, her face was livid.

The monster in front of her, like her, has the ability of time and space. Although it has no way to use its own space-time ability to teleport to the outside world, if it wants to kill, no one can stop it.

"Yingying, everyone, put down your guns. Let's have a good chat with it..." Xu Xin looked at the monster in front of her and said.

This monster does seem to be more sincere.

It didn't carry any weapons, and it really didn't see any intention to attack.

At the same time, it only opened two eyes on its face. It seemed to be caring about the feelings of everyone present, and deliberately made it similar to humans, hoping that the people present would not be disgusted by its appearance.

"I think so too." Ji Chaoyang said.

After speaking, he put down the weapon in his hand: "Since it is cooperation, let's sit down and talk."

"If it wanted to kill us, why did it show up..." Zeng Tao muttered in a low voice.

"I like what you said." The monster looked at Zeng Tao and grinned.

"Yi——" Zeng Tao took a small step back in fright.

"Well... I also think it came to cooperate with us." The gun in Wen Guixin's hand was no longer pointed at the monster.

The members of the explorers put down their guns one after another.

Only Xu Ying was still holding the gun, her face uncertain.

"Yingying..."

"Brother, you don't know." Xu Ying stared at the monster in front of her. "I said, this guy has a very weird temper. He may be very friendly one second, but he can kill directly the next second. What he said , I wouldn’t believe a word of it.”

Xu Ying has very pessimistic thoughts about this monster entering the World Tree.

She is now in a very confused state of mind, and has even come up with the idea of ​​driving this monster out of the World Tree at all costs, even if many survivors are sacrificed.

Because this monster in front of me is simply a psychopath!

Xu Ying and her team have cooperated with this monster more than once. Each time her team will make great progress, and each time, her team will suffer huge losses!

Every time the team at that time saw this monster, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

But there was no way. They couldn't fight against this monster at that time. Its identity and strength were beyond the reach of the team at that time. As a result, they were forced to accept every cooperation.

But I have to say...

The various equipment and technologies this monster brought them every time were what they urgently needed.

All in all, this guy cannot be judged by common sense at all!

Xu Ying's words made everyone present feel tense.

Of course, everyone present did not believe the monster in front of them and were always on guard. Although the gun was no longer pointed at the monster, everyone still held the gun in their hands.

How could such a weird monster that suddenly appeared in the World Tree convince the people present with just a few words?

They just want to get some useful information from the monster's mouth as soon as possible.

"I think you have nothing to worry about."

The monster spoke.

Its words even sounded polite, but its voice was so strange and unpleasant that it made people panic.

"Because, I won't do that kind of thing anymore." The monster spread out its two dark arms that were longer than its legs. The eyes on the arms seemed to open and close subconsciously, "Now, I have already Okay, full control, I'm on my own."

"...What?" Xu Ying's eyes trembled slightly, "Were you really unable to control your spirit before?"

Every move of the monster came unexpectedly.

Even in the subsequent several cooperations, they were always on guard, but there was still nothing they could do. The other party always seemed to find the most suitable opportunity to suddenly appear and make a sudden move.

Blood flowed like a river.

This is why, when Xu Xin saw the monster in front of him, he felt like the end was coming.

This guy is totally crazy!

Fortunately, nearly twenty years before their team built a time machine and one operation caused the collapse of time and space, this guy never appeared again.

Therefore, when Xu Ying saw this monster in Shi Wanyun's memory, her scalp was really numb.

And now this guy suddenly appeared again, which directly aroused her, or their team's, fear of the mysterious monster.

As for the repeated jumping behavior of the monster in front of them, the most recognized idea among the team at the beginning was that the monster might be suffering from mental illness, similar to schizophrenia, or even split personality.

However, this kind of thing has never been confirmed, because the monster did not speak human language at the time, and could only communicate in sign language with its eyes-covered arms that made people feel physically uncomfortable.

Moreover, when it cooperates with their team, its attitude is really very good. Although it is also disgusted with the appearance of humans and does not communicate with the humans in the team many times, at least its attitude is better than that of other alien invaders. There are too many.

It is precisely because of this that when it turned against it for the first time, even people in the team couldn't believe it. Not even other alien invaders have done the cruel things it did!

As for why it is friendly to their team...

Xu Ying turned her head slightly.

"I am the offspring of a forcible union between humans on Earth and humans on the mother planet." The monster spoke. "My brain has always been abnormal since I was born. But now, it's... never mind."

The monsters call the alien invaders humans on their home planet.

Perhaps in its view, the word "human" in human language is a collective term for intelligent creatures.

Everyone present was a little confused about the current situation. They didn't know much about monsters and couldn't make any conclusions. They could only look at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying's eyes were complicated at this time: "How did you cure your mental illness?"

"That's what you just discussed, the power of time and space." The monster said, "I allowed part of my brain to rapidly age and repair, so I became who I am now."

"Xu... Ying, you know, normally I would not take action against you." The monster looked at the people behind Xu Ying, "Long time no see. No... you are not them. Only Xu Ying Ying is."

"...You speak human language well." Xu Ying slowly put down the gun in her hand.

"Thank you." The monster grinned again.

Trust it for now.

If it's what it says it is, fine...

Moreover, even if you point a gun at it now, it may not help.

Now, it can be teleported away directly like itself.

Xu Ying put down the gun in her hand, and the atmosphere in the tree house immediately became less tense.

"I have one thing to ask, how did you enter the World Tree?" Xu Ying stared at the monster.

The monster took out a cloak from somewhere and threw it on the ground in front of Xu Ying: "It's a good thing."

This is……

Cloak of the Stealth? !

"How could you have this?!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed.

This is the equipment that only he can make!

"Your stuff, not bad." The monster grinned.

It seems to think that its expression is very friendly, but in the eyes of everyone, it is better not to grin, because it is more terrifying.

"Ah...!" Shi Wanyun looked at the cloak of the Hidden One on the ground and covered his mouth, "Could it be...my one?"

According to No. 5, Shi Wanyun's cloak of the Invisible was thrown away after being damaged in the World Tree and was never recovered.

Was it picked up by the monster in front of him?

"Yes. It's very strange. It was originally broken, but I repaired it. Not bad." The monster said concisely. "This, cooperate with the teleportation. When you enter the World Tree, I followed you in."

It turned out to be so!

Could this monster enter the World Tree because of Xu Xin's equipment?

Then it was not found in the corner just now, also... because of this cloak of the Hidden One?

"This is really outrageous..." Lou Fei'er said to herself.

"The equipment you created by combining our technology is very good." The monster continued to grin.

"...Let's sit down and talk." Xu Xin stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation to the sofa, "I want to ask you something."

In the end, the monster did shake its head.

As it shook its head, the closed eyes on its body couldn't help but open again, especially on its neck.

It is obvious that it actually wants to open its eyes, but perhaps it really only opens the eyes on its face in order to make the people present less disgusted with it.

"There are too many people, I have some, I can't bear it." The monster looked at the people in front of him.

"...You want to tear us apart?" Xu Ying's hand holding the gun tightened, her brows furrowed.

"No. I said, I'm not hostile. Please put yourself in someone else's shoes. I'm almost at the point where I can't stand it anymore." The monster even closed the eyes on his face and turned his head, not caring about the group of people in front of him. They all had guns in their hands.

Everyone looked at each other.

Xu Ying helped her forehead helplessly.

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched slightly.

Ji Zhaoyang's expression was a little half-smile.

Could this monster be...

"Ah... I see."

Li Wenxi looked at the monster and suddenly wanted to laugh.

"It sees how we feel, just like we see it. Imagine how it would feel to be surrounded by a group of monsters like it... um... I mean, alien creatures?"

"……hiss--"

"Oh my God……"

Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan even rubbed their arms frantically, trying to get rid of the goosebumps on their arms.

Even just imagining that scene makes people's san value plummet!

Immediately, everyone present understood how the monster in front of them felt.

Suddenly felt that it was not easy to talk to them so friendly just now...

"What do you want?" Xu Ying asked.

The monster opened its eyes, raised its arms that were as long as the legs and knees, and pointed at Xu Ying.

"you."

Then he turned his arm and pointed at Xu Xin.

"you."

He pointed at Shi Wanyun again.

"you."

Finally, he pointed to Wen Guixin.

"you."

"Four, my limit. Four, yes, sit down and discuss."

"Me?" Wen Guixin pointed to herself, a little confused, "Why me?"

Needless to say, Xu Ying will naturally participate in the discussion.

Xu Xin was the person the monster wanted to kill before. He had a deep connection with it and was the master of the World Tree.

Shi Wanyun had faced the monster before and was considered an acquaintance.

But Wen Guixin... what is the situation?

"It's you."

"It's okay, Sister Guixin." Xu Ying was not surprised, but nodded to the monster, "It's just the four of us, okay."

Xu Xin also nodded.

Naturally, Shi Wanyun did not refuse.

"Then let's leave first." Ji Chaoyang stood up, "Contact us if you need us."

There are a lot of things they need to do.

At least the survivors and former residents of the underground world should not be allowed close to this tree house.

Xu Xin winked slightly like Ji Chaoyang, lowered her eyes and glanced at the ground.

What he means is that the underground console can do many things.

Ji Chaoyang naturally understood, nodded slightly, and then left.

"...You have to be careful..." Li Wenxi whispered to Xu Xin and left.

Now, the only four people left in the treehouse were the four people appointed by the monster, and the monster itself.

"Now, let's talk about the cooperation you mentioned," Xu Ying said.
