Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1321 - 672: Giant Teleportation Array!

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

The situation has been in a stalemate for two hours.

Since the giant insects surrounded Crystal City, the alien invaders have temporarily halted their actions.

But Ji Chaoyang and the others have not stopped, after all, the enemy is ultimately the enemy, and they want to eliminate as many as possible. They have a very ample supply of weapons, and with excellent weapon manufacturing capabilities, they don’t need to worry about their weapon stockpile.

Thus, after that, the World Tree began to continuously launch missiles outward!

Although the alien invaders’ army this time covered the sky, they were all relatively small aircraft without much defensive capability. Consequently, these aircraft were relentlessly exploded and destroyed amidst the bombardment of the World Tree missiles.

And this army also temporarily lacks the ability to harm the World Tree, which is wrapped by the giant insects, so they began to retreat.

They retreated to a position one hundred kilometers away from the World Tree.

One hundred kilometers away is outside the range of the World Tree’s missiles. It’s not that they can’t be hit, but the accuracy is greatly reduced.

The missiles have made great sacrifices for speed in terms of range and can only attack targets within one hundred kilometers, which was originally their defense strategy, but now it seems...

It’s a bit inadequate.

Thus, the situation reached a stalemate for a while.

This stalemate lasted for a full two hours.

And two hours, for the people inside the World Tree, equates to two hundred hours, over eight days!

But they dare not relax their vigilance because they don’t know when the enemy will act again, so they can only take shifts, staying watchful twenty-four hours a day to monitor the outside situation.

"Are you tired? Go rest, I’ll take over here."

Qi Xuefei brought a cup of tea to Ji Chaoyang.

"I’m fine." Ji Chaoyang took the cup and sipped, "I’d rather stay here watching, just in case. We have high-quality oranges, I feel very refreshed right now."

"No matter how refreshed you are mentally, your body can’t withstand it," Qi Xuefei frowned.

"I’ve been sitting here without moving, how could I be tired?" Ji Chaoyang smiled.

"..." Qi Xuefei fell silent and sat beside him, "You...can already see tomorrow’s future, right? Did you...see a bad future?"

Ji Chaoyang fell silent, remaining wordless for a long time.

"I knew it..." Qi Xuefei gazed at Ji Chaoyang’s somewhat gloomy face, "Tell me, what does the future you see look like?"

"...Actually, I’m not sure whether the future I see is good or bad."

Ji Chaoyang looked at the scene outside the World Tree on the screen.

At this moment outside the World Tree, there was a scene of devastation.

Black smoke was rising from all directions, the jungle had been burned to nothing, fierce forest fires continuously spread outward, and it had been burning for two hours without stopping.

This has resulted in the World Tree being shrouded in irritating smoke, everything cloaked in a layer of gray-black mist.

"In my prophecy, the giant insects seemed to collapse like popped balloons, lying limp on the ground, unable to protect the World Tree anymore. Meanwhile, the alien invaders’ army also invaded Crystal City, battling against the giant beasts."

Ji Chaoyang said.

"My prophecies can now last half an hour, and in my last prediction, they have already massacred all the giant beasts and destroyed the majority of the World Tree’s external weapons, surrounding the entire World Tree."

Qi Xuefei’s eyes trembled slightly, she softly exhaled, "When will this happen?"

"Tomorrow, around noon."

It was also approaching noon now.

"...From your prophecy, it seems we can only hold out for one more day..." Qi Xuefei pursed her lips, "One day’s time..."

"For those inside the World Tree, it’s not one day but a hundred days." Ji Chaoyang reminded, "I’m telling you this, but don’t tell others, I don’t want them to know a hundred days in advance that we will be defeated."

The Explorers did not inform everyone about Xu Xin’s expedition because it required high confidentiality; if the enemy found out, it would greatly increase the difficulty of executing the plan.

So, if others learned that they would be defeated in a day, it would be akin to telling them that in one day outside, and one hundred days inside the World Tree, they would perish.

Their morale would likely plummet, possibly leading to great chaos.

Ji Chaoyang’s predicted future is not unchangeable. If such a situation truly occurs, the time of their breach might be even earlier, which is absolutely unacceptable since their task is to buy more time for Xu Xin and the others.

If this news were leaked, to prevent chaos, the only solution Ji Chaoyang and the others would have is to tell them about their retreat path, the sea World Tree, to stabilize military morale.

But the sea World Tree is also a confidential matter that cannot be revealed. Retreat plans must never be disclosed to the enemy, so the fewer the people who know, the better.

Moreover, once they know, even if they are certain to fail, and have a retreat plan after that, will they still tense up and face external enemies as now?

No, so that situation not only risks exposing their retreat, but even the endurance time may shorten further.
