Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

The monster continues its story.

After its birth, all alien invaders were ecstatic, thinking that their plan had taken the first and most important step.

In its head, there is an organ that the alien invaders don't have and they only dream of: a human-like brain.

This is completely different from the alien invaders themselves.

Normal alien invaders also have brain-like organs that control the whole body, but compared with humans on Earth, their nervous systems are extremely weird.

This is a nervous system distributed in various parts of their bodies. If these organs are called brains, then their whole bodies are covered with brains, which is equivalent to each part of their body having relatively independent consciousness.

At the same time, their nervous system will also organize all this consciousness in a special way to form a main body of consciousness.

…

"Octopus?" Xu Xin heard it more and more familiarly, "Isn't this an octopus?"

It’s not like there are no such creatures on earth.

The nervous system of the octopus is very similar to what the monster just said... it is this ridiculous-sounding structure.

At the same time, the octopus itself is also known as the most alien-like creature on earth.

Even the settings of many monsters are copied from the octopus.

"Do octopuses also have this kind of structure? It's so amazing..." Xu Ying clicked her tongue and said in wonder, "No wonder, they are covered with eyes all over their bodies. I was also wondering if they can't see clearly with so many eyes. It turns out that's because Each eye is affected by relatively independent nerves."

"Didn't you know this before?" Xu Xin turned to look at her and asked.

"How can we know this?" Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin speechlessly, "Do you think that at that time we could get the body of an alien invader to study its neural structure? Are you kidding us? So embarrassed..."

makes sense……

"What is an octopus?" The monster was a little curious about the creature Xu Xin said had a body structure similar to that of an alien invader.

"It is a creature that lives in the ocean, or even in the deep sea." Xu Xin explained.

"Living...in the water? It's really scary." The monster's closed eyes trembled.

"So... what about your situation?" Shi Wanyun was no longer afraid of the monster in front of him. He looked directly at it and said, "You... have a human brain, don't you?"

"Yes." The monster pointed to his head, "My brain is in my head, just like you humans on Earth."

"I no longer have a nervous system like theirs spread throughout my body."

As the monster spoke, its eyes began to want to open again.

"So, I don't have the ability to control all the eyes at will like they do."

A look of surprise flashed in Xu Xin's eyes: "No wonder you had a slight mood swing just now, and your eyes couldn't help but want to open..."

Since it is controlled by one brain just like humans, its current situation is like that of a human with normal eyes, seeing things with one eye open and one eye closed.

Whenever there are mood swings, such as being frightened, the other eye may want to open uncontrollably.

Moreover, it has far more eyes than humans. If you want to control only two of the eyes to open and the other eyes to close, it may be more difficult to control than turning one eye and closing one eye for humans.

The monster continued his story.

…

It has a unique body structure that is common to humans on Earth and alien creatures, which makes alien scientists ecstatic.

But it is too young and too fragile when it is just born. Many experiments and tests cannot be carried out, otherwise it will cause damage to this fragile little life and even lead to its death.

It has been hybridized after a lot of hard work by the alien science community. At least we have to wait until it reaches a certain age to see its IQ and various reactions.

So, under the care of scientists, it gradually grew up.

Under normal circumstances, the life span of alien invaders is much longer than that of humans. Calculated in terms of time units on Earth, it is approximately the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun two hundred times, which is about two hundred years old.

Therefore, the time for alien invaders to reach adulthood is about thirty or forty years of Earth time.

But its age, which is a mixture of humans and monsters, is very similar to that of humans.

It took about fifteen years for it to grow into an adult individual.

In the process, it also underwent countless experiments.

At the same time, it lived and grew up with other alien invaders... no, it should be said that they were the descendants of these invaders.

These descendants should not be called invaders, but colonists.

But because of its special appearance, which is somewhat similar to humans, and its faster growth rate, it was severely marginalized during its growth.

It is favored by scientists and is also the descendant of their leader, so it has not been substantially harmed, but it cannot afford to be offended and can hide, so its growth process is very lonely.

As it grew, even the scientists who raised it gradually began to dislike it.

After all, ugliness in childhood is not that shocking, but it is very different in adulthood.

Its appearance as an adult, in the eyes of alien colonists, can already be said to be... very deformed.

At the same time, scientists have also discovered its anomalies.

Its brain was born through crossbreeding, and its dysfunction was not so obvious when it was young, but it began to show itself as an adult.

After all, the human brain is used to control a body that is closer to a monster. It cannot do most of the things that monsters can easily do.

Moreover, because the nerves that control the body are concentrated in one place, as long as the brain is damaged, it will die directly. The most important thing is that this brain, like the human brain, is extremely delicate and fragile and cannot bear any injury.

During the long evolution, humans on earth have evolved extremely hard skulls to protect the brain, but alien invaders have no such thing.

Although they have a similar structure, they are much softer and more flexible than human bones, and they mainly rely on muscle-like tissues to move.

The reason why they have not developed this protective structure is because their nerves are spread throughout the body and there is no need to protect one of them individually.

Even if one part of their body, or even most of it, is destroyed, part of their nerves will still be preserved. Coupled with their powerful self-healing abilities and medical technology, they can be reborn as long as some tissue still exists.

It can even be split under certain circumstances!

One half becomes one individual and the other side becomes another individual.

…

"Is it an earthworm this time..." Xu Ying couldn't help but complain.

"It seems that the creatures on the earth are also very magical." Xu Xin said with a smile.

"Earthworm, what is it?" asked the monster.

"Oh, you scientists may have studied a kind of insect here." Xu Xin said casually, and then asked curiously, "Since it can be divided, will you increase the population through this method? "

"... It's unrealistic to try to increase our numbers in this way."

The monster's language has become more and more fluent, and now there is almost no lag.

It is worthy of being a combination of an intelligent population that can already travel in space and humans, the intelligent creatures on earth.

It opened its mouth and said: "Losing a small part of the body can heal itself or be treated quickly, but losing half of the body will also lead to death. Although it is possible to rely on technology to kill oneself, the medical treatment cycle is very long and expensive. There are also so many resources, even more than the total energy required by an individual in his or her lifetime.”

"Oh, he is seriously injured and dying, and he is in the intensive care unit." Xu Ying understood.

"So, splitting in this way is not only very painful and consumes a lot of money, but there is also the possibility of failure and death, so no one except a madman would do it."

"So, some madman did this?" Xu Xin asked.

"Yes. It used to be. Then it was banned by legislation."

"It really should be banned."

At this time, Shi Wanyun, who had been silent until now, asked: "So, have you lost this ability?"

"right."

…

Not only is it unable to protect its brain, it has even lost the almost perfect self-healing ability of the alien creature itself.

At the same time, its brain is still very confused.

At the same time, its body is still very "ugly".

It was a very failed experiment.

Alien scientists did not want to give up on it at first. After all, it was their hard work for a long time.

But later, its existence was exposed to the home star, and all the alien creatures on the home star began to strongly oppose this evil practice of allowing the genes of "earth monsters" to contaminate their genes.

Ultimately, the plan was scrapped.

It became the only being born out of this plan.

After that, it became increasingly unpopular among alien colonists.

Fortunately, those scientists still have a certain sense of conscience and guilt for it that has half of their bloodline, and at least they can protect it from any harm at least. They even invented various protective gears for it and gave it various super high-level abilities. Fine weapons, used to protect oneself.

At least it can live its life safely.

But at that time, its brain had begun to lose control and became extremely chaotic.

Moreover, it has never been in contact with the outside world, and it has begun to have a very strong curiosity about the half of its genes, humans.

…

"So, you came to us?" Xu Ying suddenly realized again, "I see."

"Yes. If you want to contact humans, you have to start by contacting my mother whom I have never met."

The monster's speech at this time was extremely fluent and clear. Except for the somewhat unpleasant sound, it was almost the same as a normal person. It was even a little literate, probably due to the textbook it used to learn the language.

"So, I searched through various information and found out the location of my human mother on Earth, so I went there alone."

…

Because no one among the alien colonists at that time wanted to deal with it at that time, so when it went out alone, no one stopped it.

Not even those scientists, they no longer care about this stain on their scientific careers.

After that, the story of the team of monsters and humans begins.

The first time it saw a human, it was nauseated and vomited.

It really couldn't imagine that there could be such a terrifying looking creature in this world.

Its mother turned out to be such a creature.

It even has such a gene!

Under the extreme chaos, its chaotic brain began to completely split apart and began to form countless personalities.

This is the sequelae of alien genes. Each individual alien creature is similar to a cluster of countless consciousnesses. In its hybrid form, it manifests a split personality.

Among them, two personalities stand out the most.

The first personality wants to understand human beings and what kind of creature the other half of the blood in its body is.

The second personality is extremely disgusted with humans and wants to kill all humans!

Because it has a brain similar to humans, the first personality is relatively stable, while the second, violent personality is extremely unstable and will pop up at some point.

As for other personalities, they are all harmless personalities and harmless personalities.

In this way, when it was a relatively stable first personality, it began to communicate with humans.

Its first personality is to support human beings and also has selfish motives.

Alien groups don't accept it, maybe humans can. If humans don't accept it either... then let the two groups fight.

No one can have it easy, especially the alien creatures who allowed it to be born in this world.

This idea helped humanity, which at that time was extremely lagging behind the alien invaders in terms of strength and technology.

…

"You should all know what happened next. My split personality made everything messy."

"In the last ten years of that time and space, my mind was completely confused. Even the first personality could not be stabilized. I almost always wandered in the wilderness without memory or unconsciousness. Fortunately, I have the blood of alien invaders. , the mutated creatures regard me as their master, will not harm me, and even protect me, so I have been fine."

"This continued until...the world began to experience space-time disruption."

Time and space are disordered.

That time and space began to collapse because of the time paradox.

"Maybe it's because the time and space disorder affected my brain and made me temporarily awake. I returned to their place of residence and found that they knew nothing about this situation, so I thought of you. Maybe you used me The technology provided does what it does.”

"I've already said what happened next. I traveled to...the future."

The monster's story about itself in its own time and space has been told.

Its mouth closed, and the mouth that was originally split almost to the back of its head slowly retracted, returning to a position and size similar to that of a human.

"It turned out to be like this..."

Xu Ying felt that everything in that time and space was connected.

Xu Xin looked at the monster's head, hesitated, and said, "Is your brain also very fragile now?"

"I have protection."

The monster touched his head: "My head has been transplanted into a metal similar to the shape of a human skull. You call it meteorite, the highest grade. Now I am not so fragile."

"Have you already been transplanted?" Xu Yingze glanced at its head and said, "When you went crazy in our base, we shot your head more than once, but it was completely useless. You were also wearing a protective suit. We are armed with high-tech weapons... We are no match at all."

"...Yes, that's right. They implanted this kind of thing into me after the plan to birth me was banned by the home planet. They didn't want to go to any lengths to protect me, and they didn't want to see such an ugly me again, so So I did this. Fortunately, there has been no problem."

"Alien technology is really high-tech." Xu Ying smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I actually want to know more about how I was sent to the future." At this time, Shi Wanyun spoke.

She looked at the monster and asked: "So, can you start to tell us what you did after you arrived in this time and space, that is... fifty years ago?"

"Well, I'm also curious." Xu Xin answered, "Why on earth... do you want to kill me? You should not want to kill me anymore now."

"No more. I said, I am here to join you. What I want to say next is the focus of my coming to you this time."

Four or five eyes opened on the monster's face and looked at the three people in front of it.

"What I want to say next is very important. Ha...fortunately, I am now proficient in human language."

The three of them looked at the monster and gradually became nervous.

The monster's mouth was once again split to the back of its head, revealing terrifying and chaotic fangs: "I come to you because I want to tell you their biggest weakness, and maybe... I can drive them out of this planet completely."

"The biggest weakness..." Xu Ying straightened her body with a serious expression, "Isn't it water? Are you afraid of water?"

"Of course not." The monster shook his head slowly, "They are afraid of water, but not that afraid. But it is also related to water."

"oh?"

The monster organized his language and said: "For humans on earth, water is an indispensable source of life. But for them, it is not. They have their own 'source of life'."

"But this substance, which is the source of life for them, does not exist on earth."

"That's their weakness."
