Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 972: Chapter 551: Can We Still Return to Our Original World? (3)

”You’re a survivor from before, right?” Shi Wanyun suddenly interrupted the woman’s words and asked.

”Of course, I was part of the first group of survivors, and you are from the fifth group.” The woman patiently replied, not upset at Shi Wanyun for interrupting her.

”Then... have you ever attempted to return to the original world? Is there still a possibility for us to return to our original world?” Shi Wanyun looked at the woman and asked the question she most wanted to ask.

Her eyes carried a hint of expectation, and her heart beat rapidly.

She wanted to get the answer she hoped for from the woman.

”Why do you think we survivors have gathered here?”

The woman smiled and replied, ”You’ve already talked a lot with Number 228, right? You should also know that it’s not a place you can just come to; you need to go through selection, and only the chosen ones have the right to come here. So why does everyone want to come here?”

”You’re saying...” Shi Wanyun’s eyes lit up slightly.

”That’s right, in the future we can really return to our world.”

Shi Wanyun’s eyes brightened sharply at these words.

”Our group will not only have long lifespans and exceptional abilities due to genetic modification, but we’re also the ones who will be the first to return to our homeland, return to Earth!”

As she spoke, a red glow flickered in the woman’s eyes, and her face showed a hint of nostalgia.

Although she had only lived in the original world for twenty years, far less than the nearly fifty years here, her obsession with Earth remained as deep as ever.

Everyone here is like that.

They all want to return to that Earth; that’s where their home truly is.

”We can really go back!” Shi Wanyun couldn’t help but stand up; her originally gentle voice became somewhat agitated.

”Yes, we can go back, but it requires a shared effort.” The woman smiled in response to Shi Wanyun’s reaction.

Shi Wanyun looked at the mature woman’s face.

She wore a smile, looking at Shi Wanyun’s eyes and expression as if seeing herself in her youth, even showing a hint of comfort.

”If your group of survivors includes several strong adapters, our plan might be completed sooner, and we can return to the original world.”

The woman’s words struck Shi Wanyun’s heart multiple times.

Strong adapter... is she talking about me?

Realizing she had already touched on the method to return to the original world, her breathing became slightly rapid.

Can we really go back?

Should she trust the woman’s words?

She didn’t know.

But her heart drove her to want to believe what the woman said.

... Judging by the woman’s tone and expression, she probably wasn’t lying.

Is it true, then?

Finally, in the long journey of survival, has she seen the hope of returning to the original world!

”What should I do?” Shi Wanyun looked at the woman, her voice returning to calmness, but her noticeably heaving chest revealed her unrest.

”Since you’ve understood the situation almost completely, now, it’s my turn to ask you questions.”

The woman restrained some of the warmth in her tone and spoke.

Her tone at this moment was similar to during the baptism; it was the tone used when conducting serious business.

”How did you get here?”

”I...” Shi Wanyun opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment.

Should she mention Xu Xin and the others?

”By the way, I hope you can be honest,” the woman’s voice was cold, ”Even though I personally admire you greatly, there are rules here.”

”You’ve already gone through the baptism, and your body has undergone some changes.”

”If you don’t cooperate...”

The woman leaned slightly, whispering in her ear, ”The master can turn you into a humanoid monster covered in fur at any time.”

Shi Wanyun’s previously active thoughts froze instantly.

... What?

The monster covered in fur... does it mean a fur-covered monster?

Besides turning into those monsters, will she become a furry monster?!
