Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1391 - 696: The Giant Warship Has Crashed!

On the other side of Earth, inside the World Tree.

”Honestly, if it weren’t for your prophecy, I’d have thought those alien invaders would never come.” Qin Yunlong sat in front of the control panel, watching the scenery outside the World Tree with boredom.

The immensely thick violet-black light pillar shot into the sky, unchanged.

Though only four or five hours had passed outside, for them, it had been over a month.

”Since things have been silent on that side, why don’t we go take a look?” Shi Wanyun suggested.

Shi Wanyun had just returned from the World Tree on the sea, and she had made ample preparations there.

Although Xu Xin provided the coordinates, as long as the time flow inside the World Tree was different from outside, entering this World Tree directly through teleportation was impossible.

Moreover, the coordinates below the World Tree had been dismantled for safety reasons, preventing her from autonomously returning to this World Tree.

Luckily, Ji Chaoyang and others had conducted a small exercise so that everyone could easily retreat if the World Tree was breached, allowing a small group to familiarize themselves with the procedure when the World Tree was attacked.

After all, it was always idle over here.

Even during tense vigilance, if an emergency occurs during the exercise, they could simply halt it.

Those who went there would just stay there, like sending people ahead of time.

In short, Ji Chaoyang and others synchronized the time flow inside the World Tree with the outside and conducted the exercise.

The exercise was successful, and Shi Wanyun returned here with them.

Ji Chaoyang shook his head, denying Shi Wanyun’s suggestion: ”No, too dangerous.”

”If it were closer, it would be fine, but that violet-black beam is over a hundred kilometers away, if something happens, the people sent won’t be able to come back.”

It’s indeed too far, close to one hundred and fifty kilometers.

They don’t have aircraft; although there are helicopters and fighter jets underground,

it still takes at least fifteen minutes to get there.

Round trip is half an hour.

If the enemy acts within this half-hour, those sent to investigate are basically doomed.

Aircraft flying in the sky, under the enemy’s highly precise missiles, hardly have any chance of surviving.

Moreover, he didn’t believe that sending a few planes would discover anything.

They had long probed it; after improving the ammunition range, they had intensely bombarded the violet-black beam with nuclear bombs.

The result was only slight fluctuations during the bombardment; it returned to normal after it ended.

Even blasting that area down one layer had little effect.

So, it’s meaningless to inspect again.

They’ve carpet-bombed it; even if they observed something, what could they do?

Besides, the outside is full of intense radiation left from the nuclear war; the violet-black light pillar area is especially strong.

Sending people over now...

is too inappropriate.

Even if Qi Xuefei’s medicine could likely cure them, intense radiation might cause aircraft failures.

Therefore, they hadn’t taken any actions for these hours, only kept observing.

”Keep observing. We don’t need unnecessary actions.” Qi Xuefei looked at the giant insect stationed outside the World Tree.

The giant insect had been guarding the World Tree and crystal, protecting them.

And still motionless, only its body subtly undulating.

Clearly, this giant insect had fallen asleep.

”Nothing happening is better.” Ma Hongwei said, ”The tentacled monster in that beam and this giant insect seem to be on the same side; let’s hope it can stall for more time.”

Because of the previous battle and Ji Chaoyang’s prophecy, the violet-black beam was like a sword beside the World Tree, hanging over their heads.

If the prophecy comes true, they will be defeated.

However...

”Five hours left until your prophecy for our defeat, right?” Qin Yunlong rubbed his neck, ”There’s still over half a month. No rush, let’s go rest upstairs; just have someone keep watching outside.”

”Still able to rest... Turns out things are so relaxed here.” Shi Wanyun’s gentle voice contained a hint of emotion, ”I thought the battle here was always fierce.”

”Haha, it’s not that...”

”Hey!”

At this moment, Ma Hongwei, who had been calmly watching the outside, suddenly focused his gaze, his body springing upright from the backrest.

”Look outside!”

Everyone suddenly felt a tightness in their hearts, looking outside.

”What’s wrong outside... Tsk—”

The brightness of the violet-black pillar was slowly increasing at a visibly noticeable speed!

No, it wasn’t the overall brightness of the violet-black pillar; it was a local brightness increasing!

Changing from dark violet, gradually transforming into bright violet.

Creating a very noticeable color contrast with the entire violet-black beam.

”The beam is changing... Something is going to come out!”

Qi Xuefei immediately picked up the communicator.

”Everyone, gather immediately!”

War is about to begin again!

And just as she finished speaking, a giant spacecraft suddenly rushed out from the increasingly bright violet part!
