Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"I haven't told them yet because I'm worried that they might have some thoughts of going out during this unsettled time."

Ji Chaoyang walked to the window and looked at the other survivors not far away who were very contented.

These survivors no longer want to go out at all.

"But now, I think it's time to tell them." Ji Chaoyang turned back and said, "I think that people need to be stationed outside the World Tree. Those of us inside have no way to know the situation outside at all times."

Xu Xin nodded slightly.

Although in the control room of the World Tree's underground space, you can observe the scene around the World Tree, but... it is only there. If you want to observe the surroundings, you must go down first.

For example, now, everyone has no way of knowing the situation outside.

Unless you go down to the underground space, or go out directly.

"Actually, there is another way." Xu Xin put forward his own suggestion, "Just use the console in the underground space as a monitoring room and let people work there in shifts 24 hours a day."

As he said that, he looked at Xu Ying aside: "Is this okay?"

Xu Ying nodded: "Of course, we have done this before. If it is this world tree, it will be easier. After all, the flow of time in the outside world is so slow. If there is something, unless you are blind, you will not be able to discover it. of."

"I have also asked Xu Ying about this." Ji Chaoyang smiled slightly, "Of course we have to do this. It is necessary to monitor the movements around the World Tree, but I think it is also necessary for someone to live outside. Moreover, this can also solve the problem I just raised."

"You mean...let people who want to live outside live outside." Xu Xin thought for a moment.

"Well, that's what it means." Ji Chaoyang looked out the window again, "We haven't told them the situation yet, but we will recruit more survivors in the future. By then, they will definitely know about it."

"It's probably still early. If Xu Ying doesn't take action, it will take a few days for those people to come over. I'm afraid a year has passed internally." Zhao Xiaochuan leaned on the back of the sofa, " Even if Xu Ying takes action, it won’t work today. The situation in the underground world hasn’t been dealt with yet. It will take one day, but it will also take a hundred days of internal time.”

As he said that, Ge You lay down and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I want to clear my mind..."

"You've been idle for more than half a month, that's enough!" Qin Yunlong pulled him up angrily.

"What's enough? I want to take a two-month vacation!"

Zhao Xiaochuan shouted.

"What, I'm going to be bored to death..." Zeng Tao, who was holding her chin on the side, said weakly.

Zhao Xiaochuan sat up straight: "Just kidding, just kidding, but it really doesn't matter, no matter inside or outside, don't you live for so long? It's so safe inside, if anyone still wants to cause trouble, then... It’s really heartless.”

Everyone else also nodded.

Wen Guixin curled her lips and said, "If anyone is dissatisfied, let them get out. They have too much to do!"

Ji Chaoyang shook his head helplessly: "You can't think about this from your own standpoint. We will eventually have to absorb a large number of human beings in the future. Some problems and planning must be figured out and done well in advance. , otherwise if you want to change it in the future, you will be in trouble with the blue level."

Xu Xin somewhat understood, touched his chin and said: "What you mean is that when outsiders enter, it will affect the mentality of other people."

"Yes. If there are only people like us, then it may not matter to them. But if someone from the outside comes in, they only need to make a little comparison..." Ji Chaoyang paused, "If there are any acquaintances from the regional channel. …”

...That does make people a little uncomfortable. Does this count as one year older than one's acquaintance?

"Moreover, the most important point is that they still don't know the truth of this world." Ji Chaoyang said seriously, "For them, this is just another world, and their relatives and friends are still waiting for them. When they go back, even if they can't go back, they will still have one thought. The flow of time a hundred times faster, in their hearts, is equivalent to aging relative to their relatives and friends a hundred times faster."

Ji Chaoyang looked at everyone.

"This is what I want to tell you this time. We...it's time to tell them the truth."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

During the half month that Xu Xin was away, they also discussed whether to tell these people the truth about the world.

But in the end it came to nothing.

As Ji Chaoyang said just now, even if these people know that there is a high probability that they will not be able to go back, they will still miss their relatives and friends.

If you tell them this, it will directly cut off their thoughts, which will indeed be more painful, and some may even dare not believe this fact.

But if they are not told, if the problem of time flow is exposed, it will cause chaos.

"Ah... In this case, you really should tell them." Xu Ying raised her hand and said, "When I bring the people from the underground world up, this kind of thing cannot be hidden at all."

Ji Chaoyang nodded: "That's why I came up with this idea. Instead of letting them find out and blame us for hiding it from them, it's better to tell them all these things directly, once and for all."

After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus.

Indeed, there is no point in hiding it any longer.

It's time for them to know the cruel truth of this world.

"One more thing." Xu Xin put forward an idea: "Not just tell them, I think, we should tell all the survivors we can contact about this situation."

If the world channel could still be used, he would even want to tell survivors around the world about this.

But now, they can only contact the remaining survivors in Area 188 and Area 1.

However, it's enough. After all, they can only bring back the survivors from these two areas at present.

"Ah... I suddenly know why you want people to go outside." Wen Guixin raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Chaoyang, "In the World Tree, there is no way to communicate with outsiders."

"Well, that's one of the reasons." Ji Chaoyang nodded.

"However, if we live outside...do we also need someone outside?" Li Wenxi asked, "Only we can freely enter and exit the World Tree?"

Before, the people of the explorers have discussed it, at least for now, except for the three Lou Feier who have not yet returned, they will not give other people the authority of the world tree.

At least it has to be very, very strict.

After all, the more people there are, the more things can go wrong.

The alien invaders' agents have eroded the human base in the underground world, and they cannot be allowed to harm this place anymore.

Moreover, the human base in the underground world can still rely on Xu Xin's ability to detect and refine operations, but if something goes wrong here, no one will be able to read their voices.

If such a person were to gain the ability to enter and exit the World Tree at will, there would be big trouble.

Therefore, the only people who can freely enter and exit the World Tree at this stage are these people.

"Actually, there is no need to worry about this. We can take turns to take care of it." Ji Chaoyang smiled, "Don't forget the time difference of a hundred times. My idea is that there are always two people outside observing the situation, contacting people in other areas, and changing at any time when tired." people."

That's true.

If the internal time is rotated every day, the people outside will only stay for fifteen minutes.

If the internal time is rotated every three days, it has not even been an hour outside.

Time... is still ridiculously abundant.

It's outrageous.

"Then it's decided."

After discussion, everyone finally came to a conclusion.

Tell everyone about the situation.

Xu Xin was not in a hurry to leave.

This matter was completed in just tens of minutes, and it only took tens of seconds in the outside world.

After they gathered everyone together, they then told everyone the truth about the world.

"That's it, everyone." Xu Xin looked at the people present and said.

The survivors present were all in a state of shock. More than two hundred people were silent.

"No...it's impossible!"

A voice muttering to himself broke the silence.

Suddenly the crowd became excited.

"Huh? Huh?!"

"Earth in a thousand years? Huh?!!"

"Aliens are invading the earth? Hold the grass!"

"This...you made it up, isn't this too magical? How could such a thing happen?"

"I knew it! I knew it! Hahaha! The types of creatures in this world are completely the creatures of the earth! This is completely inconsistent with my illusion of a different world. Unexpectedly, it is really the earth! I really guessed it! "

"Ah, I also have thoughts about this. I originally thought it was a parallel world to the Earth, but it turned out to be...the Earth a thousand years ago!?"

"Oh no, have the alien invaders completely taken over the earth?"

"Oh shit, is that mysterious voice an alien? Is it an invader? I'll **** it!"

"...How can people believe this kind of thing!!"

"Why can't you believe it? Will traveling to another world make people believe it more? I would rather believe that this is still the earth. It's great!"

"But...but...if it really is a thousand years later, then my parents, my friends..."

"After being invaded by aliens, humanity almost died out thousands of years ago? What a joke!"

"ah……"

"Oh my god...!"

That person's words reminded many people who were frightened by time and did not consider this matter.

"this……"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"But, this is what the explorer bosses said... Is there any point in the explorer bosses lying to us?"

"Well... I don't care. I am an orphan."

"Ha, I feel so happy to be away from my parents and relatives. Also, did my ex-boyfriend die in that disaster? Well, it feels even better!"

This group of people are all between 18 and 30 years old and have no descendants. They basically only care about their parents and relatives.

"I don't believe it...I don't believe it..."

"This must be the Earth! The species and everything are so similar. This would be impossible in another world!"

"Impossible, this is simply impossible! Unless...unless the big guys give evidence!"

Because of the prestige that the explorers have established for a long time since the beginning of their existence, even after hearing such shocking news that did not suit their liking, the survivors did not speak rudely or riot, but looked at the explorers one by one.

"Boss! We need evidence!"

"Yes, if it's just a guess, then...that's not necessarily the case!"

"Wuwuwu...impossible, I'm the only one left..."

"Dad...Mom..."

Someone was already slumped on the ground.

In this weird world, many people rely on the little thoughts of their loved ones to survive until now.

Now tell them that their relatives have died long ago...

"Oh... I knew it would be like this." Qi Xuefei sighed. She had never advocated publishing the truth before.

If it weren't for this World Tree, she would never have agreed to make this matter public.

In this world where life and death are unpredictable, and they learn that the person they care about died thousands of years ago, I am afraid that many people will lose hope of living.

In this world where one must go all out to survive, losing the hope and motivation to live is tantamount to committing suicide.

Fortunately, the situation is different now. These people have enjoyed the happy time in the World Tree for more than half a month, and they have been with each other for so long. Now that there is infinite hope, there is a high probability that this situation will not happen. happened.

but……

She turned to look at Xu Xin, "I think you should let go of telling the truth to other survivors."

Xu Xin nodded heavily.

Even among this group of people, there are people like this, those other survivors who have been living alone and facing countless dangers until now, if there are people who insist on thinking about their families, they may not be able to bear it Such a blow.

The survivors are still looking at the explorers, hoping that they will give evidence and explanations.

"Yingying..." Li Wenxi looked at Xu Ying beside her.

"Say it." Xu Ying nodded.

"We have evidence."

Li Wenxi immediately spoke to everyone.

"Because there are not only us in this world, but also... people who have survived thousands of years ago! We are not alone in this world!"

Li Wenxi's words immediately made the people around him excited.

"What?"

"There are other humans?!"

"Are...are they the descendants of people from thousands of years ago?!"

Li Wenxi continued: "That's right, that's it. I have already had contact with them. Although they have had a hard time in the past thousand years, after a thousand years of recovery, they have the technology and weapons we had back then. It can give us new strength!"

"There are more than 100 million of them! We are not alone in this world!"

Xu Xin also spoke at this time: "We will soon bring their technology back to the World Tree, let us restore our original life, and... bring some of them too. In this way, you There will be no more doubts.”

This information was enough to make these people, who had always thought that their survivors were the only human beings in the world, stunned and digested it for a long time.

While they were shocked by the news, Ji Chaoyang informed them about the hundred-fold flow rate.

"A hundred...a hundred times the flow rate!"

"Ah? The flow of time is different in the World Tree!"

"I, I, I... my head is going to explode, what is all this..."

"No wonder Brother Xin went out for half a month, even for several days, and there was no danger. No wonder... so the outside world only passed a few hours?!"

"Huh? Huh?!"

"Then aren't we stable? One day of stability is equal to a hundred days of stability! Damn it! We are stable!"

Everyone was bombarded by the huge amount of information. They were stunned, discussing wildly, and sitting on the ground in a daze. It was like a bunch of demons dancing wildly.

Xu Xin took the opportunity to pull Xu Ying away from the crowd.

"It's not our business anymore, we should go."

"Hmm...what are you going to do next?"

"Go to Area 1 and see what Lou Fei'er and the others have gone through."
