Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

And on the other side of the earth, around the World Tree.

The situation has been deadlocked for two hours.

Ever since the giant insects surrounded Crystal City, the alien invaders' actions have temporarily stopped.

But Ji Chaoyang and the others did not stop there. After all, the enemy was still an enemy, and some could be eliminated. The weapons in their hands were very abundant, and with their excellent weapons manufacturing capabilities, they did not have to worry about the inventory of weapons in their hands.

So, after that, World Tree began to continuously throw missiles outward!

Although the alien invaders' army is overwhelming this time, they are all relatively small aircraft and do not have strong resistance capabilities. As a result, these aircraft were continuously destroyed by crazy explosions during the bombing of World Tree missiles.

And this group of armies was temporarily unable to cause damage to the World Tree wrapped in giant insects, so they began to retreat.

They retreated to a location a hundred kilometers away from the World Tree.

A hundred kilometers away is beyond the range of their World Tree missiles. It doesn't mean that they can't hit it, but the accuracy will be greatly reduced.

Their missiles have made great trade-offs in range for the sake of speed, and can only attack targets within a hundred kilometers. This was originally their defense strategy, but now it seems...

It seems a bit inadequate.

As a result, the situation became deadlocked for a time.

This stalemate lasted for two full hours.

And two hours, for people in World Tree, is two hundred hours, more than eight days!

But they didn't dare to let down their guard, because they didn't know when the other party would continue to take action, so they could only watch the situation outside in batches and around the clock.

"Are you tired? You go and rest. I'll take care of you here."

Qi Xuefei brought a cup of tea to Ji Chaoyang.

"It's okay." Ji Chaoyang picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I'd better watch it here, don't worry. We have high-end oranges, and I'm very energetic now."

"No matter how energetic you are, your body can't hold on." Qi Xuefei frowned.

"I've been sitting here without moving, how could I be tired?" Ji Chaoyang said with a smile.

"..." Qi Xuefei was silent for a moment and sat next to him, "You... can already see tomorrow's future. Have you... seen a bad future?"

Ji Chaoyang fell silent and had no words for a long time.

"Is it true..." Qi Xuefei looked at Ji Chaoyang's somewhat gloomy face, "Tell me, what kind of future do you see?"

"...Actually, I don't know whether the future I see is good or bad."

Ji Chaoyang looked at the scene outside the World Tree on the screen.

At this time, outside the World Tree, there was a scene of devastation.

Black smoke was billowing from all directions, the jungle had been burned out, and the fierce forest fires continued to spread outwards and had been burning for two consecutive hours without stopping.

This caused the outside of the World Tree to be shrouded in choking smoke, and everything was covered with a layer of gray-black smoke.

"In my prophecy, the giant insect seemed to have been punctured and collapsed softly on the ground, no longer able to protect the World Tree. And the army of alien invaders also invaded the Crystal City and fought with the giant beast. "

Ji Chaoyang said.

"My prophecy can last for half an hour now, and in my last prophecy, they have slaughtered all the giant beasts, destroyed most of the external weapons of the World Tree, and surrounded the entire World Tree. "

Qi Xuefei's eyes trembled, and she breathed out gently: "When... did this happen?"

"It will be near noon tomorrow."

It is also close to noon.

"... Judging from your prophecy, can we only hold on for one day..." Qi Xuefei pursed her lips, "One day..."

"For Yggdrasil, it's not one day, but a hundred days." Ji Chaoyang reminded, "I'm telling you this, don't tell other people, I don't want them to know that we will be defeated a hundred days in advance. information."

The members of the Explorers did not tell everyone about Xu Xin's expedition, because this matter needs to be highly confidential. Otherwise, if the other party knows about it, the difficulty of implementation will be greatly increased.

Therefore, if other people know that they will be defeated in one day, it is equivalent to telling them that you will die in one day in the outside world and a hundred days in the World Tree.

Then their morale may hit rock bottom, and it may even cause chaos.

The future foreseen by Ji Chaoyang is not unchangeable. If this happens, they may be breached earlier. This is absolutely not possible. After all, their mission is to buy time for Xu Xin and the others.

If this news is really exposed, in order not to cause chaos, Ji Chaoyang's only way is to tell them their retreat, the news of the World Tree in the sea, to stabilize the morale of the army.

But the World Tree in the Sea is now a secret that cannot be leaked. The retreat must not be known to the enemy, so the fewer people who know it, the better.

Moreover, once they know that they will definitely fail, and there is still a way out after failure, will they still be as tense as they are now to face foreign enemies?

No, so, in that case, not only would they risk exposing their retreat, but their persistence time might still be shortened.

Therefore, after considering this, Ji Chaoyang decided not to tell the news to those who were currently preparing for the war.

"I understand." Qi Xuefei nodded, "I won't say it, but... if this is the case, then we can only hold on for one day at most?"

Ji Chaoyang nodded slowly: "At least in my calculations, there is no way to delay the time of being breached, so I have been observing the changes outside to see if there are any variables."

He looked outside again at the army of aircraft that were as dense as mosquitoes a hundred kilometers away.

Now it seems that these aircraft armies are probably just armies of drones.

From the monster's mouth, they learned that although the number of alien invaders had increased a lot in the past thousand years, they only had a population of less than 100,000.

Not many alien invaders would consider reproducing on this "harsh" planet.

Therefore, there cannot be alien invaders inside these aircraft.

In addition, these aircraft did not care whether they were useful or not, and rushed here as if they could sacrifice themselves in the face of survivors who were weaker than them.

It's obvious, it's the drone.

In other words, the first wave of attacks by the alien invaders only deployed drones. During this period, they were actually bombing drones.

No wonder the other party feels so powerless.

But then, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

"If there is no other way, then... we can only hope that Xu Xin and the others can solve most of the problems within one day."

"One day... This day is also very difficult for us..." Qi Xuefei leaned on Ji Chaoyang's shoulder and sighed softly.

For them, it was not just one day, but a hundred days of long battle...

"But it's much easier than normal, isn't it?" Ji Chaoyang said with a slight smile.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly and he stood up.

"How..." Qi Xuefei was about to say something, but the words got stuck in her throat.

About a hundred kilometers away from them, they saw a purple-black light pillar rising from the ground into the sky, heading straight into the boundless universe!

The thickness of this sudden light pillar was even far greater than the teleportation formation light pillar on the edge of their Crystal City!

even……

It is hundreds or thousands of times as thick as that light beam!

The beam of light from their teleportation formation was actually thick enough, at least a few meters thick, but compared with this beam of light that suddenly shot up into the sky, it was not on the same level at all!

The diameter of this beam of light... is at least several hundred meters, or even thousands of meters!

Even though the distance was so far away, this beam of light seemed to be very close at hand, giving everyone in the World Tree a heartfelt shock when they saw this beam of light!

The location where this beam of light appeared was where those aircraft were hovering a hundred kilometers away.

As soon as the light beam appeared, it swallowed up most of the aircraft, causing most of the densely packed group of mosquito-like aircraft to disappear!

The tense atmosphere within the World Tree completely erupted at this moment.

"Here he comes! The enemy is here!"

"What...what is this?!"

"What the hell?! The earth suddenly shot out lasers?!"

"What kind of laser? This is not..."

"The teleportation array, it's the teleportation array! Isn't this similar to our teleportation array? Alien invaders also use this technology?" A resident of the underground world exclaimed.

"What are you talking about? What's 'our' teleportation array? It's the teleportation array of alien invaders! They are just using their own technology!" A survivor corrected him.

"Zhou Cao, what's going on? Isn't this beam of light a bit too exaggerated? This, this, this... is this too thick?!"

"The teleportation array... hiss - my mother, it's over, it's over! Such a thick purple-black light beam, what is it trying to teleport?!"

The survivors in World Tree are all familiar with the teleportation method of the teleportation array.

Walk into the teleportation array and control the location. The teleportation array will teleport the person into the purple-black light pillar of another teleportation array, and then the person can walk out of the other light pillar.

In other words, the teleportation array can only transmit things smaller than the thickness of the purple-black light beam.

But now, a large teleportation array light beam with a diameter of probably nearly a kilometer suddenly appeared!

What kind of thing needs to be transmitted to trigger such a thick teleportation array light beam!

Ji Chaoyang thought of this the moment he saw the teleportation formation, so he stood up in shock.

Something is coming!

In his prophecies, he saw no giant creation worthy of his attention.

What exactly is this beam of light trying to convey?

Did the other party really value them so much?

"Everyone, cheer up. I know many of you must have not slept for a long time, but the next war will probably be much more difficult than before!"

Ji Chaoyang immediately issued a notice to all personnel in the underground space.

Everyone stood ready and began to stare nervously at this extremely thick beam of light.

And the light pillar, under the gaze of everyone, slowly began to tilt and bend.

"...It's going to connect to another beam of light!"

Behind Ji Chaoyang and Qi Xuefei, Ma Hongwei's voice came.

Ma Hongwei was originally responsible for the production and improvement of weapons, but he found that he could no longer effectively improve the weapons in a short period of time. Weapon production was almost the same without him, so he came down to check the situation.

Then I hit this scene immediately.

"Yes." Ji Chaoyang stared at the slowly bending light pillar, "You need to connect another light pillar to achieve teleportation. It is the same principle as the teleportation array we used before."

Where is the other side that this light beam is connected to?

…

On the other side of the earth, Xu Xin and others were standing in the sandstorm again, listening to the roar coming from all directions.

The traps inside these factories are almost the same. The main one is that even if you know this trap, you can't escape.

Xu Ying even tried to draw a teleportation pattern on the ground, but found that teleportation was prohibited nearby.

They are now closer to the purple-black light pillar than before, probably less than twenty kilometers away. At this distance, the World Tree naturally has the ability to prevent people around it from teleporting.

Therefore, without Xu Ying's ability, even if they knew the trap, they would not have the ability to escape from it.

But it's different now. They want to steal those scarlet crystals, and it's no longer simple.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

The roar continued to come from all directions.

The reason why they are in all directions is because as long as they steal one of the pieces, they will leave immediately and quickly enter the next factory to steal.

I don’t know if it’s the other party’s self-confidence, but none of these factories are closed.

"I said, the alien invader in that factory just now should be dead, right?" Zhao Xiaochuan looked at the factory they left last.

They stole so many factories that they only saw an alien invader in the last one.

What about the appearance...

Indescribable things.

It was like a puddle of mud, with some raised fleshy bumps all over its body. Those fleshy bumps were constantly squirming, as if a terrifying tentacle would grow directly from it in the next second.

And in the sunken places between those meat buns, there are countless eyes.

Each eye is not big, just a small dot, pitch black, distributed all over the body.

When they saw this monster for the first time, those who had never seen it before could not help but gasp.

Is this what alien invaders look like...

From a human perspective, they really can't imagine that a creature that grows up like this can give birth to super intelligence and travel in the universe.

However, they were not surprised for long.

Although the appearance of this alien invader is terrifying, it is not too uncomfortable. In comparison, the monster that is half human and half alien invader makes people feel even more uncomfortable.

So after making signs to each other, they continued their plan.

This time the plan was simpler, because the factory with this monster was running, and the crystal itself was exposed, so Li Wenxi went down with a pickaxe, Xu Xin grabbed the crystal, and Xu Ying took everyone away as quickly as possible. .

This set of actions took less than three seconds, and everyone appeared outside the factory without even looking at the alien invader.

"He must be dead, right?" Li Wenxi looked at the factory that looked dark red due to the temperature of the internal explosion, "Or is it that the alien invaders are very strong and cannot survive such a violent explosion? "

"No. No matter how strong the body of the alien invader is, it is still flesh and blood." Xu Ying said, "In that case, they can't survive."

"Oh, I always feel like it's a bit innocent." Zhao Xiaochuan felt a little bit regretful, "That guy just now felt like he was just a worker for the alien invaders."

"A tycoon who makes weapons?" Li Wenxi rolled her eyes slightly, "Stop showing off your kindness."

"Um...that's true."

"Ugh...?" At this time, Coco in Xu Xin's arms gave a confused cry and looked at the purple-black light pillar, "Um!"

Xu Xin immediately followed its gaze.

I saw that the purple-black light pillar no longer rushed straight into space, but began to bend slowly.

"Their teleportation array has been activated!" Xu Xin said in shock, and then his pupils shrank suddenly, "That's..."

In the center of the three World Trees, next to the purple-black light pillar, an extremely huge ship slowly rose!

The entire body of the giant ship was blood red, and against the purple-black light beam, it looked extremely ferocious!

No... not one!

"What is that...ah!" Li Wenxi exclaimed, "The second ship..."

Two ships... three ships... four ships!

Four giant ships surrounded the bending purple-black light beam!
