Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1062 - 583: Double Agent (Part 2)

”Would I not be able to perceive if it’s him personally? This is definitely him, at least the body is definitely his, so...”

Xu Ying rubbed her temples: ”I’ve mentioned this before; I asked him about many experiences we shared, and even the ordinary little things, he could recall them very naturally. There’s no doubt it’s him.”

”Isn’t it possible that the replaced person’s memories could also be directly transferred to the person replacing him?” Li Wenxi speculated and then apologized, ”I’m just guessing. I don’t know if the other party has this kind of technology, but isn’t it common in sci-fi movies?”

This kind of technology...

Xu Ying’s thoughts went to Shi Wanyun.

Her abilities are somewhat similar to this situation.

However, she quickly shook her head: ”Impossible, I said, this body is his own, the brain is also his own, and since his memories haven’t been tampered with or erased, it’s definitely him.”

Then she sighed: ”This guy, he betrayed us of his own will.”

No wonder.

No wonder the location of the teleportation device was the Wei Family’s military stronghold.

That place is the most tightly guarded and monitored area in the entire underground human base, bar none.

If it weren’t for the help of the Wei Family Patriarch, how could such a thing happen quietly!

No wonder it was the Wei Family that fell!

But why...

The image of Wei Bai appeared in her mind.

Passionate and spirited, resolute in his hatred for the alien invaders, vowed to destroy all alien invaders and lead humanity back to the sunlight.

Although Xu Ying found his boasts somewhat childish, which is why she felt no emotional disturbance when Wei Bai showed her goodwill several times, even felt like laughing.

But admittedly, he did excel in all areas.

Whether it was dealing with mutant beasts invading human territories or optimizing weapon development, he was an extraordinary talent.

Back then, at under thirty years old, he was already designated as the next Patriarch.

Otherwise, the Wei Family wouldn’t have sent him to accompany Xu Ying, the most important person besides Xu Xin.

And these scenes, to Xu Ying’s timeline, were just events less than ten days ago.

For her to see two such different Wei Bai in such a short time...

She found it somewhat hard to accept.

”He wasn’t originally like this...” Xu Ying muttered to herself, ”Was it something that changed him? Was it... Wei Shishi’s parents, his son and daughter-in-law!”

That must be it!

Absolutely!

She must figure out what happened back then now!

Then consider her actions accordingly.

If the Wei Family is truly problematic, then I’ll have to take matters into my own hands.

Her gaze darkened slightly.

Wei Family, do you really think I’m just someone who can wander through time and space?

Dare to play tricks in front of me, you truly think I can’t purify you?

Xu Ying felt her image might have been lacking in authority.

Making the other party think she’s a pushover.

She’s always treated people this way, besides her nature, the main reason was Xu Xin’s warning.

If it weren’t for Xu Xin’s warning, telling her not to take too much action in this world, not to let the world perceive her and thus erase her...

She would have dominated the entire underground world with her thunderous means long ago.

Because she herself hates trouble.

But her behavior seems to have made the other side underestimate her.

They truly seem to believe a technologically disconnected, eternally sunless, hedonistic underground human base can compare to a technology that stood on the shoulders of alien tech and developed for 300 years.

Moreover, the researchers in the original team were all genetic mutants whose brain usage far exceeded ordinary people, and individuals strong enough not to succumb to mind control.

They stood on the shoulders of giants, tirelessly researching for 300 years, and now, all their knowledge is within Xu Ying.

Although she alone couldn’t lead a large-scale war, purging the three families in power would be extremely easy.

Wei Bai, you’d best give me a reasonable explanation.

Once the World Tree fully grows, I can pass these technological equipment and techniques to my brother.

By then, my life will be worthless.

At that time, even if it costs my life, I must purify the entire underground world.

I absolutely cannot let the underground arsenal my brother created, nor the last human population, be destroyed by the enemy.

”Sister-in-law, let’s find Wei Shishi. I must know what happened to her parents, what happened to the Wei Family at that time.”

...

On the surface, it was already past midnight.

Xu Xin lay in bed, somewhat unable to sleep.

According to Ji Chaoyang’s prophecy about the next day, there would definitely be a war tomorrow.

But as he said, the battle should start between 8 and 9 in the morning.

They could still rest well tonight and gather their strength.

Most importantly, they could continue tomorrow’s random amplification.

Shi Wanyun had returned, but she didn’t bring back her own treehouse. Instead, she left the treehouse taller than Xu Xin’s in Zone 1.

Upon returning, she approached Xu Xin to explain the situation.

When she arrived at Zone 1, she received contact from the mysterious voice.

It turned out that, with the dual blessing of Crystal City and the continuously growing World Tree, the mysterious voice couldn’t contact her, nor sense her while she was in Crystal City.

But when she arrived at Zone 1, she was perceived, and the mysterious voice immediately contacted her to inquire about the situation.

She wasn’t considered a traitor.

Because the monster’s instructions to her included, if unable to kill Xu Xin, find a way to stay by his side and act opportunistically.

Her current actions fit with this.

Although she had already injected gene agents and freed herself from control, the mutation genes within her were stronger, which made the other party unaware of her anomaly.

Which is quite normal, as Xu Xin’s organization in another timeline also concealed themselves well after injecting the gene agents, not revealing themselves even when the world collapsed.

So, in this situation, she went along with it, becoming a double agent.

That’s why she didn’t transplant her treehouse, enhancing her credibility.

But in Zone 1, she couldn’t directly inform Xu Xin about this, since she would be monitored in Zone 1, or else the mysterious voice wouldn’t directly contact her.

Hence, only in the middle of the night, after returning to Zone 188, she approached Xu Xin alone to explain the situation.

And the task given to her by the other party was to go along with local plans before the attack tomorrow, seek a chance during the chaos to take Xu Xin’s life.

Even as the World Tree is about to fully grow, the other party hasn’t given up on taking Xu Xin’s life.

This was the information Shi Wanyun brought back.

Later, she was brought to Lou Fei’Er’s treehouse, as Lou Fei’Er was very displeased with Shi Wanyun staying in Xu Xin’s treehouse before.

This information was extremely useful.

This was the first time Xu Xin realized that in Crystal City, near the World Tree, they couldn’t be monitored or listened to!

This was immensely good news!

At least here, he wouldn’t have to be so cautious and careful, not daring to share any important information with others!

Moreover, Shi Wanyun was still trusted by the other party, which would likely play a very significant role later!

Xu Xin lay staring at the ceiling, his mind not at ease.

Perhaps, after the World Tree grows, they could... take initiative!

”Let’s sleep. Tomorrow is the fateful battle.”
