Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1031: Chapter 572: Exchanging Information! (Part 3)

Xu Xin was both surprised and felt that the previously chaotic clues in his mind were finally coming together!

The human base had already been discovered.

The teleportation device that Yingying mentioned, he had seen it too.

The turncoats and order maintainers she had mentioned, he had also heard of them.

Most importantly, the monster she mentioned that discovered the human underground base but didn’t inform other alien invaders and kept it a secret...

It seemed like... he actually saw it.

The monster he saw in Shi Wanyun’s memory was probably it.

"It seems I have some news you don’t know."

"Hmm? You have information I don’t know? Don’t joke around, bro," Xu Ying was initially startled, then laughed, patting Xu Xin on the shoulder with a hint of pride on her face, "How could you possibly know more than I do? Stop bluffing."

"The monster you mentioned probably has eyes all over its body, right?" Xu Xin suddenly said.

"...Huh?" Xu Ying’s eyes instantly widened, and she grabbed Xu Xin’s arm, "You’ve seen those disgusting things?!"

"I haven’t seen them. No, maybe I’ve seen them. It’s like this..."

Xu Xin didn’t intend to keep any information to himself.

Even disregarding their sibling relationship, just based on Xu Ying’s identity, she was the most trustworthy person in the world.

He told her everything he knew from Shi Wanyun.

And Xu Ying’s expression changed repeatedly.

From initial surprise, to curiosity, to shock.

Finally, when she heard about that monster taking out a locket with a blood-stained photo of Xu Xin, her face turned extremely grim.

"Is it... the monster from our timeline? They... followed us here too? I see... I see, so this is the true face of the ’anthropologist,’ no wonder they’re interested in humans..."

Xu Ying’s eyes were solemn.

"So, the advantage you gained by traveling through time and space might not actually be an advantage. That monster has already discovered this place too." Xu Xin pointed to the human-faced stone statue.

"...Fortunately, there were restrictions set up here, it won’t help even if they find it."

Xu Ying exhaled, comforting herself, "To trigger the mechanism here, one of us must be present to operate it, even if it discovers this place, it can’t trigger it."

Is that so.

"However, considering this situation, it’s indeed very serious." Xu Ying couldn’t help biting her nails, "I originally thought that time travel was our biggest trump card, but to think the other party also has it, my advantage is greatly diminished..."

Xu Xin was also worried about this: "We still don’t know what that monster wants to do, whether it’s about establishing a human city there or the origins of batches of survivors, everything is still unknown."

"Hmm...bro, you just said that woman named Shi Wanyun has the ability to transmit memories?" Xu Ying suddenly turned to look at Xu Xin and asked.

"Yes. Haven’t you heard of Shi Wanyun’s name?"

"No, I don’t know her. But now I need her ability, I want to see what that monster looks like to confirm its identity!" Xu Ying pulled Xu Xin’s arm and headed towards the crevice, "I’ll go with you to your place! We need to hurry!"

"Identity? Don’t monsters look the same?"

"Of course not, and the differences between each individual are quite significant. Even us humans can generally tell them apart."

When humans look at other species, they generally can’t differentiate between individuals; for example, a flock of sheep or a herd of cattle all look similar, even foreigners might look similar to them.

If the differences can be distinguished, it can only mean that the shape difference between individual monsters is really big.

"Okay, I’ll take you."

It’s just...

He had just promised Shi Wanyun not to reveal her ability, and now, even before the night was over, he was bringing someone else to find her...

He indeed felt a bit embarrassed...

But, Shi Wanyun acted that way because she thought others were untrustworthy.

Xu Ying is very trustworthy, even more so than himself.

This is practically an involved party!
