Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1459 - 717: Eradicate All Hidden Dangers! (Part 3)

”You’re quick to respond,” Xu Xin turned his head to look at Xu Ying beside him.

”Of course, when I saw that guy, I felt I should blow it up on the spot,” Xu Ying kicked the sand.

The alien leader had already seen the three nuclear bombs in the room as it teleported over.

At this time, leaving immediately and detonating the nuclear bombs was most appropriate.

”I just didn’t expect that alien leader didn’t get killed by the main cannon...” Xu Ying’s eyebrows were full of worry, ”I hope the main cannon actually pierced the roots.”

”What are you thinking?” Xu Xin shook his head, ”Didn’t we see the condition of the roots with our own eyes?”

”Hmm... true.” She muttered, ”But... could he have walked with me at that time? But it had just gone in...”

Xu Xin speculated, ”Didn’t you say there was extreme heat and radiation there? It’s possible the guy couldn’t stand it the moment it went in and teleported out.”

”Hmm... seems, seems plausible.”

Although Xu Ying said this, there was still some worry in her eyes.

”So, our mission is pretty much over. Do you want to do anything else?” Xu Xin looked at her.

”...At least go check the state of the scarlet crystal,” Xu Ying hesitated.

”...You don’t need to be in such a rush, there’s too much radiation there now.” Xu Xin looked at the world tree still shedding leaves, ”Even now, being ten kilometers away, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Let’s wait a bit.”

The radiation has certainly affected areas over ten kilometers away.

Xu Xin indeed felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He took out a pill and ingested it, feeling slightly better.

He couldn’t quite imagine how strong the radiation at the explosion’s core must be.

”I... alright,” Xu Ying compromised, ”But, just a little wait is fine, I believe the world tree will purify its internal environment, maybe... soon the inside won’t have much radiation. Then we’ll go.”

”Hmm, let’s wait a bit longer before confirming.”

Her powers are very unstable right now.

If she were to take everyone back, they might never be able to teleport back.

According to her, long-distance teleportation can only be used one last time.

If she returns now, she’ll only leave with regret over whether the alien invader has been eliminated.

So, she wants to confirm that the concentrated scarlet crystal has been destroyed.

”Boom!!”

Suddenly, there was a muffled explosion sound behind the two.

They turned to look.

It was a factory area.

But now, a dust cloud had risen in an area several kilometers away.

”Ah... another factory’s self-destruct system has been triggered,” Xu Ying’s mouth curved into a smile.

”Hmm, looks like the ’rebels’ among the alien invaders have started to act.”

”Boom!!!”

Another explosion.

”They’re stealing those concentrated scarlet crystals from the factories.”

”Boom!!”

Another explosion.

A large amount of dust was kicked up.

”Though the starship is destroyed, the traps left by the leader, these ’rebels’ still can’t deal with,” Xu Ying laughed.

Xu Xin was not so optimistic, somewhat worried, ”Could they just teleport away like you did?”

”Impossible,” Xu Ying said, ”That’s within the world tree’s influence range; those not permitted can’t teleport, except...”

Xu Ying pointed at herself.

”No, there’s one more, isn’t there?” Xu Xin suddenly said.

”Boom!!!”

”Boom!!”

”Boom!!!”

Three consecutive explosions, interval of less than ten seconds.

”You’re saying...”

Xu Ying looked towards the explosion, somewhat surprised, ”That monster?”

The monster, like Xu Ying, also has teleportation ability unrestricted by the world tree.

”Must be it. Otherwise...”

”Boom!!”

”Boom!!!”

”Boom!!”

The explosions continued.

”Otherwise, these rebels are too stubborn, knowing it’ll explode but continuing like this?”

Xu Xin’s voice was somewhat obscured by the incessant noise of explosions.

”Hmm... that’s true.”

Xu Ying rested her chin on her hand looking over there, ”If it’s it... that feels acceptable. Speaking of, bro, do you really believe that the race it created can coexist peacefully with humans?”

Their operation this time was based on trusting that guy.

Now saying they don’t trust him feels rather ungrateful.

But, what the race it created will become is indeed uncontrollable.

”I don’t know,” Xu Xin shook his head, ”But...”

”Hmm, I know, without its information and help, we couldn’t have gotten this far.” Xu Ying said, ”And, without the technology it gave, we couldn’t have come from another time and changed the fate of humanity in this timeline.”

Indeed.

If it weren’t for that half-human half-alien being, none of this would’ve happened.

”But, what does it want the scarlet crystals for?” Xu Ying asked with some suspicion.

”That ’race’ of theirs can also use the scarlet crystals,” Xu Xin said, ”At least, with it taking them, it’s better than leaving them here.”
