Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1249 - 647: Little Monster, Chang Yin Awakens (Part 2)

”Hehe, I’m just thinking of myself.”/p>

The monster said somewhat helplessly, ”If these people are released, I’ll have to manage them... I don’t want to live with more than a thousand Earth humans, you’d better let me die.”/p>

Indeed./p>

Although those mutated humans have differences from humans in some respects, in the eyes of the monster, there is probably no difference at all./p>

”Anyway, quickly research the reverse brainwashing potion and take them all away this morning,” the monster waved its hand./p>

”You don’t need their genes anymore?” Xu Xin asked./p>

”Basically, the samples have been preserved well, and the experiment is nearing its end. They no longer serve any purpose for my experiment. You guys should hurry up, keeping them is not a solution.”/p>

”... How did you manage to store them?” Xu Xin asked the question that was on his mind./p>

”The same way you did,” said the monster, ”I have something similar to your bracelet.”/p>

”I see,” Xu Xin nodded./p>

He wasn’t surprised by this./p>

Both his ring and bracelet that can store living organisms were made by Chang Yin./p>

And Chang Yin has always been under the monster’s control./p>

Not only in the underground world, even before, the prison-like underground dungeon he encountered was the handiwork of this monster./p>

However, Xu Xin had asked it before; it didn’t know what stone creatures were all about; Chang Yin was discovered by the first batch of survivors, and before that, it didn’t even know about Chang Yin’s existence./p>

When the first batch of survivors discovered Chang Yin, Chang Yin was a normal person, later he became petrified due to unknown reasons./p>

Regarding petrification energy, the monster is somewhat unclear itself./p>

Xu Xin trusts its words because if it knew, the underground experiments wouldn’t need Chang Yin to host them./p>

”The space within the bracelet is large enough for those people to survive, but it’s not a long-term solution; you should hurry up.” /p>

”Alright.” Xu Xin nodded, then looked at the window again./p>

Inside the room, besides the little monster, there are dozens of mutated humans./p>

No wonder the little monster didn’t find itself scary when peeking out, was curious, and even greeted me./p>

Turns out, it’s because it has always been cared for by mutated humans around it... /p>

Though mutated humans differ from normal humans, their appearance is still predominantly human./p>

”By the way, I still don’t know your name,” Xu Xin turned to the monster and said./p>

”My name...” the monster’s mouth split open to the back of its head, ”Knowing it won’t help you either.”/p>

”Why not?”/p>

”Because my name is *%@.”/p>

”...?”/p>

”*%@, that’s my name.”/p>

Alright, alien language of invaders./p>

Very strange./p>

However... /p>

”This means... ’Hope’, right?” Xu Xin smiled./p>

”... How do you know?” The monster was stunned./p>

”I don’t know why, but I can understand the language of alien invaders,” Xu Xin said./p>

Previously, in Shi Wanyun’s memory, he could understand the monster’s language./p>

Perhaps it was the heritage left to him from Xu Xin’s research on the alien invaders’ language./p>

”Yes, it means hope. Because I was their hope,” the monster said somewhat wistfully, ”But in the end, they gave up, and that space-time collapsed. Don’t call me ’Hope’, it’s too strange.”/p>

”Then give yourself a name; otherwise, I won’t know what to call you.”/p>

”Uh... let me think about it. I’ve never considered this matter.”/p>

”Alright, then I’m leaving.”/p>

”...Uh!” Keke seems to no longer be afraid of the monster, poking out her little head and waving a paw./p>

Xu Xin bid farewell to the monster and returned to his villa./p>

At this moment, only Li Wenxi was in the villa./p>

At this time, Li Wenxi was lying horizontally on the sofa, already asleep./p>

After all, it’s rest time now, it’s ”night”./p>

”Wenxi, wake up, go to bed to sleep,” Xu Xin pinched her cheek./p>

”Hmm...” Li Wenxi turned over and continued to sleep./p>

”Really...” Xu Xin shook his head helplessly./p>

Living in the World Tree for the past two months, Li Wenxi’s crisis perception developed under life-threatening circumstances has almost completely faded away. /p>

He pinched her cheek, she wouldn’t wake up; that’s completely lacking a sense of crisis./p>

This would have been impossible before the World Tree matured./p>

Alright, he himself doesn’t have much qualification to criticize Wenxi./p>

He feels his perception of crises has dulled as well./p>

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such bold things among stone creatures when riding Huihui out, nor been shot down on the way back./p>

He picked up Li Wenxi, who was lying on the sofa, and walked towards the bedroom upstairs./p>

.../p>

The next day, Xu Xin woke up and walked to the window, pulling open the blackout curtains./p>

”Ugh... so bright...” Li Wenxi buried her head under the quilt, muttered in a muffled voice./p>

”Are we going down again today?” Xu Xin sat back on the bed, asked./p>

”... Not going down.”/p>

Li Wenxi slowly propped herself up from the bed, the quilt slipped from her body, revealing parts of her enticing figure./p>

”The mineral resources collected during this period are really, really abundant, so we don’t need to go again for now, I want to rest for a few days.” She yawned, ”Ah... still so sleepy...” /p>

Then she flopped back onto the bed, covering her face again with the quilt./p>
