Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1228 - 640: Completely Enslaving Humanity_2

Plus, we’ve lost another very important key figure.

This hybrid creature right in front of us.

In this timeline, the hybrid experiment did not succeed, so there was no hybrid creature to bring them advanced alien technology.

Under various circumstances, the resistance organization in this timeline never made any waves; in fact, it’s questionable whether there was even a resistance organization at all.

Thus, the survivors of this timeline obediently became research material for the alien invaders, studied for a full eight hundred years.

In terms of technology, naturally, they made much more progress than before.

But... it was only progress, nothing more.

For a hundred-meter race, there’s no difference between running seventy meters and fifty meters—neither reaches completion.

By the eighth hundred year, the alien invaders discovered that this costly research had reached its limit, and they couldn’t make any sense of it.

At the same time, due to eight hundred years of research, the number of survivors had dwindled significantly.

Because they affected human reproductive capabilities, there was almost no reproduction over these eight hundred years, coupled with substantial depletion; such a situation was inevitable.

These people couldn’t be allowed to die, as they still had tasks to fulfill.

Additionally, this project seemed never-ending, making them lose all hope and confidence, thus bringing the plan to seize human brains to a near standstill.

In the following one hundred and fifty years, Earth became a complete mining field.

All operations on Earth revolved around mining ores.

Until fifty years ago, this hybrid creature from another timeline traveled through time and space to arrive in this timeline.

...

"Did you go directly to them when you arrived in this world fifty years ago?" Xu Xin asked.

"Yes," the creature nodded, "I didn’t know what era this was at the time, and I appeared on the hemisphere they dominated, even within their primary World Tree’s domain, so when I arrived in this timeline, I was discovered by them."

"And my appearance shocked them greatly."

That was surely shocking.

"Back then, I knew nothing about this timeline, didn’t even know it was another timeline, so some information inadvertently slipped out from me, such as... I am a hybrid of Earth humans and the original star humans."

"...They must have been very shocked," Xu Xin could imagine the scene.

After nearly a thousand years of fruitless experiments, suddenly a result appeared right before them.

"That’s right. I was immediately taken to the headquarters, brought to... face my father."

...

Its father, the leader of the alien invaders.

Of course, in this timeline, he was not its father.

On the way to the headquarters, it learned about the general situation of this world from its guide. After meeting ’father’, it fabricated a lie.

It told ’father’ that it had traveled from a thousand years in the future and was the current case of the experiment, here to help them complete the experiment early and avoid detours.

Its words drew all the scientists to gather around.

Although they might detest its appearance, scientists don’t judge by appearance. Each of them showed immense interest, even wanting to dissect it on the spot.

Luckily, the story it concocted earlier kept them from laying hands on it.

Thus, the plan to ’assist’ alien invaders in seizing human brains gradually unfolded.

...

"...Survivors," Xu Xin said in a deep voice. "This plan is the cause of so many survivors."

"Yes. Because of my own experiences and lineage, I didn’t want humanity to become mere test subjects, so I told them I’m actually a failed experiment case, and it’s impossible for their race to have human brains. At the same time, I explained the drawbacks of me having a brain."

"Are you trying to dissuade them from experimenting?" Shi Wanyun frowned, "But didn’t succeed?"

"No, it did succeed," the creature replied, "because my exaggerated descriptions and new proposal effectively discouraged them."

"New proposal?" Xu Xin sensed something was off.

"I told them, since they couldn’t have Earth human brains, why not directly enslave Earth humans and let them contribute to our technological development," the creature calmly said.

The scene fell silent for a few seconds.

"...Huh?" Xu Ying looked at the creature with a strange expression, "What are you talking about? Haven’t you been enslaving us all along? Haven’t we been enslaved for a thousand years?"

"No, it’s different. The enslavement I mentioned was complete enslavement, perfect brainwashing, turning humans into their true vassals. That way, they could grant humans the highest level of current technology, allowing humans to use their brains to help them develop technology, while they simply reaped the rewards."

"This..."

The three present were somewhat baffled.

"How is that possible?" Xu Ying couldn’t help but say, "How could those creatures hand over their technology completely to a race they always feared? If they dared, they wouldn’t have wanted to destroy humanity. If I were them, I’d certainly think, what if humans rebelled?"
