Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 868: Chapter 516: Future... Farewell

Perhaps others disappeared in the same way.

Now, the future self shatters and dissipates, and the Xu Ying in the image becomes the last one left.

... No one could accept this.

All her family and friends have passed away, leaving her alone in the whole world, facing everything, facing the death that could come at any time.

Moreover, she couldn’t even choose death herself; there are still some things that need her to complete, things she must bear.

In the image, Xu Ying didn’t sob for long, maybe just about half a minute before she lifted her head and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

”I’ve lived for hundreds of years, normal people... don’t live as long as I have.” Xu Ying seemed to be comforting herself rather than leaving a message, ”My brother lived seven or eight years longer than I did, he’s luckier...”

She took a deep breath, looked up in the direction of Xu Xin: ”Future brother, you must make sure we have a happy future! Otherwise... otherwise all these things we did...”

Perhaps she was regretting.

If they didn’t do this, although Earth would be completely colonized, they could have extremely long lifespans and continue living indefinitely.

Moreover, they already had a way to escape control, they could completely choose to live in seclusion, unaffected.

But they chose to resist, choosing a path of no return that shattered the future.

”I have no regrets.” Xu Ying sat on the ground, as if persuading herself, self-muttering, ”The future me will definitely live in a world without alien colonization, where I can make my own decisions!”

... He will do it. Xu Xin thought to himself.

”Brother.” Xu Ying looked in his direction again, smiled slightly, ”Aren’t you just in your twenties now? How nostalgic, back then, our relationship was probably the worst... ah... better not talk about that... I’m going to...”

Her voice choked up a little.

Xu Xin wanted to comfort her, but he also knew, this Yingying in the image probably no longer existed in this world.

... Wait a minute.

He suddenly discovered a problem.

What about his Yingying?

Is she... not yet in this world? Does she continue to wait in the future at some point to arrive?

Sixth batch of survivors?

Xu Ying stood up, stabilized her emotions, and said seriously, ”Brother, beneath this Crystal City, there are mechanisms we created, after this image ends, this Crystal City will automatically rise upwards, appearing above ground, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

Xu Xin, originally still pondering, was immediately taken aback.

This city can actually rise to the surface!

This is really awesome!

Hearing this news, the joy somewhat diluted the recent sadness.

If this city is on the surface, it would be much more useful than being underground!

”Also, we left some supplies, but not within this palace.” Xu Ying’s voice had regained its calm, ”This palace involves the application of space-time, storing things isn’t very stable, so we put them outside.”

Though her tone was calm, she had never spoken so plainly before, clearly showing she was trying her hardest to suppress her emotions.

”Moreover, in... hmm... it’s really hard to distinguish north and south underground...” Xu Ying pondered for a moment, ”Let’s go with left and right, the tenth crystal building from the left of this Crystal Palace contains the resources we left for you.”

”There, we have some genetically engineered serums we developed ourselves, which need to be injected into the body.”

”Once that serum is injected, you can have an exceedingly long lifespan like us, and your brain will receive corresponding development, so you won’t be controlled by bloodline mutations. That’s actually the serum we refined to combat mutated bloodlines.”

...!!!

Xu Xin immediately widened his eyes with joy.

There’s such a precious thing here!

”...And some serums are extracted from beast genes, which can grant creatures beast bloodlines or enhancements, but... the creatures that use those serums in terms of size...”

... Beast bloodline, would grow bigger.

”You understand, so... it depends on you who to use it on.” Xu Ying said softly, ”If you don’t mind, you could also use it on humans, giants are very strong.”

This...

Forget it.

... He himself still cares about it a lot.

”That’s about... oh, right, there’s one more thing.” Xu Ying picked up the piece of crystal that had just been pressed by Xu Xin on the crystal table, ”That serum doesn’t grant you powerful body abilities. Our strong physical abilities are brought by mutated bloodlines. If you want such body abilities, you can try letting your bloodlines mutate.”

”Rest assured, with our genetic serum, bloodline mutations only become your strength, even...” she pointed to her face, ”even the bloodlines won’t appear. The bloodlines have long faded from us; when we were often forced to help those invaders, we would draw some on our bodies.”

”So, there’s basically no need to worry, our genetic serum can perfectly suppress the negative effects of bloodline mutations.”

... It seems Lou Fei’Er and the others can truly return to normal.

And he can also attempt bloodline mutation!

”One last thing... be careful of humans.” Xu Ying’s eyes turned sharp.

Be careful... of humans?

”Don’t forget, those alien invaders, at the beginning of the invasion, left a group of people as their lackeys!” Xu Ying said, ”In our timeline, the lackeys were us, but in this line, it’s another group! We’ve already had contact with them, but unfortunately, we couldn’t do anything to them...”

”Among them, there are also rebels like us, they even connected with us, but they were purged in the fifth century!”

”Now, those remaining are all human traitors!”

... She’s definitely not talking about those furry aliens! After all, the image Xu Xin previously mentioned that they injected a more advanced serum, their appearance shouldn’t have changed much...

Which means, he hasn’t contacted this group yet...

Or maybe... this group is hiding among them?

It can’t be...

”Brother... I hope you can see this image...” Xu Ying’s voice in the image spoke softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly, everything dimmed.

Then it became a purple-black starry sky!

Immediately after, the purple-black starry sky shrank madly from all directions, in the blink of an eye, a radiant white light was before his eyes again.

He was back... on the third floor of the Crystal Palace.

”Out... out!”

The exclamation of Lou Fei’Er also came from behind him.

He turned around and saw the four women standing together seven or eight meters behind him.

”Xu Xin! You’re here!” Zeng Tao saw his figure, and her face immediately showed delight, ”What were you just...”

Before she finished her sentence, suddenly, the ground beneath them began to tremble gently.

”What’s happening?!” Lou Fei’Er looked around warily.

Jin Yue immediately stomped her foot and jumped to Xu Xin’s side.

Shi Wanyun was watching Xu Xin thoughtfully.

”Boom! Boom——”

The ground shook more and more violently, everyone was barely able to stand steady.

”Come to me!” Xu Xin immediately said.

The group quickly ran to Xu Xin’s side.

”What exactly is...” All the women looked extremely puzzled.

Xu Xin’s lips curved into a smile, unable to suppress his excitement: ”This Crystal City is going to rise to the surface!”
