Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1490 726: Meticulous Plan — The Fate of Alien Invaders_5

The monster's mouth split open, its entire body of eyes wide open: "Almost all of the remaining resources were used to reactivate the Transmission Array."

...?

Everyone was genuinely puzzled.

What does it mean...

If what it said is true, then it's indeed good that the crimson crystal has been used up, but...

"So, what exactly are you trying to do?" Zhao Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask, "Why restart the Transmission Array!"

Yet Xu Xin seemed to understand its intention.

Could it be that it wants to...

"Are you trying to... deceive the mother planet this way?" Xu Ying's eyes flickered as she murmured.

"It seems you all have figured it out."

The monster nodded.

"Yes, that is exactly my plan."

"The resources of this planet are very important to the mother planet. After all, it holds the hope for their species' continuation."

The pale crystal.

The alien invaders took tens of thousands of years to find this resource while traveling through the universe.

"So, if we cut off all resource supply and communication with the mother planet, what do you think would happen?"

Everyone fell silent.

It was obvious.

The mother planet would likely send a fleet again to check the situation and extract resources.

No matter how long the journey, it's extremely challenging.

After all, this place holds the hope for their species.

"...So, you want to continue providing for them?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked, "Isn't that a bit too..."

"At least for now, we can't cut it off."

Before the monster could speak, Xu Xin intervened.

He had actually been worried about this issue all along.

What if they drove the alien invaders away and the mother planet sent a fleet again? What would they do then?

Even though it's extremely arduous for them to return, in a few years, tens of years, or even hundreds of years, they could eventually make it back.

His initial thought was to rely on the world tree, where time flows extremely fast, to rapidly develop technology!

Before the giant ships from the alien invaders' mother planet could return, they needed to have the technology to resist the alien invaders!

But indeed, it's not very stable.

But now, the monster presented another option.

"We can gradually reduce the supply. During this time, we develop our own technology." The monster said, "When the time is right, we tell them Earth's resources are depleted and cut off the supply."

Xu Ying nodded: "This indeed seems like the most stable approach."

Her heart was racing a bit now.

She didn't know if they could now be considered... successful?

"What about the remaining rebels?" she asked.

"There's not much crimson crystal left."

Saying this, the monster took out the remaining piece of condensed crimson crystal.

The light illuminated the entire room, causing everyone's brows to furrow.

But then it put it away again.

Everyone had already seen it.

About... the size of a basketball.

A smooth, condensed crystal, almost devoid of edges, melted by an explosion's high temperature.

"This is all that's left, can't sustain many of them, so..."

In a negotiating tone, the monster said: "I'm planning to keep a part as my living gene bank. What do you think? They won't cause much trouble, and this piece of crimson crystal can only keep them alive for... a year or two."

"We don't really have the power to intervene in your choices. Besides..."

Xu Xin looked at it and asked: "Before you came, you took all your 'species' members with you; they should all be here now, right?"

Those humans who had undergone various mutations. Necks that can elongate, heads full of worms.

Those little monsters it created.

"They... are in another world tree." The monster's mouth slightly split, as if smiling, "I plan to stay here, to make this my base of operations."

"You're... not going back?" Li Wenxi asked.

She didn't really trust this monster that had used them, so she casually played the emotional card: "Sister Gui Xin is hoping for your return."

"We can still connect via teleportation, it's not like we're severing ties." The monster grinned.

"...So, from the beginning, this was your true aim, wasn't it?" Xu Xin looked at it and said.

"...Yes." The monster nodded, "However, if you really have the ability to completely destroy the condensed crimson crystal, I would also gladly accept that. My plan is based on a win-win scenario."

Its plan was indeed very successful.

"Won't you give us a tour of the other two world trees?" Xu Xin stood up, smiling slightly.

"Of course, no problem." The monster's mouth also split open, "I will naturally show everything to my allies."
