Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1497: The Grand Finale (Ten-Thousand-Word Chapter! Part 4)

Xu Xin grabbed Keke’s two front paws and lifted it into the air, asking.

“…Ying?”

Keke tilted its little head, somewhat confused.

“Where exactly did you come from…”

Xu Xin gently rubbed its furry ears, speaking softly.

Suddenly, his communication device started ringing.

“Xin, come back quickly!” Li Wenxi’s sobbing voice came through, “Yingying… Yingying she wants to…”

“What?!”

Xu Xin’s mind went blank instantly.

Then he quickly got up and ran back.

Xu Ying’s condition has been very unstable recently.

This little creature, Keke, has been avoiding being near her altogether lately.

But unexpectedly…!

By the time he got home, Xu Xin could already feel intense spatial fluctuations.

Li Wenxi, Lou Fei’Er, and others were all here.

But only those who were regular playmates.

They all stood about four or five meters away from Xu Ying, who was sitting on the sofa, their eyes filled with worry.

Xu Ying wouldn’t let them get close.

“Brother…”

Xu Ying turned her head to look at Xu Xin.

Her face was somewhat distorted at this time.

Not in expression but in space distortion.

Her body was the same.

“Yingying, you…”

“Don’t come closer!”

She stopped Xu Xin.

Meanwhile, Keke was desperately tugging at Xu Xin’s pant leg: “Yingying! Ying!!”

It sensed an incredibly strong danger, preventing Xu Xin from getting closer.

“At least you finally made it back.” Lou Fei’Er’s eyes were red as she whispered, “Yingying has already said goodbye to everyone else, you’re the last one left.”

“Yingying…”

At this moment, Xu Xin couldn’t muster any comforting words.

Should he tell her not to worry?

No, it’s not possible…

“Brother, don’t worry about me, being able to live an extra two years is already very lucky.”

Xu Ying’s voice also became somewhat intermittent.

Like… a signal about to drop.

Because the space around her was fluctuating, obstructing the transmission of sound.

“I really never thought I would truly see humanity’s victory at the end of my life.”

“Although it’s not complete victory yet…”

A smile appeared on her distorted face due to space: “I think everyone will truly reclaim Earth.”

“I think, if I leave like this, everyone from the other time-space will be very relieved.”

Xu Xin’s pupil trembled.

“Yingying… I’m sorry, I haven’t found a way…”

He gritted his teeth tightly.

The monster, it comes from another time-space, and it also possesses the ability to travel through time-space.

But for some reason, it doesn’t have the same condition as Xu Ying.

It has traveled through so many time-spaces, yet it always survives well.

Xu Xin has repeatedly asked about its condition, but the answer is always unclear, unknown.

It said if it weren’t for Xu Ying’s situation, it wouldn’t even know it could be erased by the world.

And because of Xu Ying, it is now afraid to use time-space teleportation anymore. It’s afraid of dying too.

“I was originally… not meant to live long… because, Brother… I’m ultimately not your… sister.”

Xu Ying’s words were already very unstable.

“Your real sister… she’s coming, and if I continue… to live, when she arrives… we will be erased.”

This time-space’s Xu Ying, the Xu Ying who is not yet twenty, will soon arrive in this era.

“No, you are my sister, you… Yingying, we will not forget you.”

Those erased by the world are not remembered by it.

Their presence is stripped away, the people around them will forget they ever existed.

As if they never existed in this world.

Back when Xu Xin and his companions were sent to the future, there was a similar effect.

Even their parents had forgotten them.

However, Xu Xin and his companions are different, they won’t forget.

They have gone through time travel.

Those who have experienced time travel won’t forget this memory.

They will remember that there was once a Xu Ying who traveled from another time-space, existed in this world, helping them towards victory.

Even if Xu Ying’s underground world followers will forget her, even if Wei Shishi will forget her.

But Xu Xin and his companions won’t.

“Hmm, that’s enough…”

Her voice suddenly became very clear, then…

She was gone.

Just like that, disappeared.

On the sofa, there was only a lone handle left.

Silence.

Xu Xin looked at that handle.

He suddenly understood.

Xu Ying has been staying home these past two years without going out, and almost without interacting with Ji Chaoyang and the others, likely because… she didn’t want to touch more lives.

She didn’t want more people to be saddened by her disappearance.

Perhaps… that’s all.

The room gradually filled with the sound of sobbing.

“Uh… Waa!! Yingying…”

Li Wenxi hugged Xu Xin’s arm tightly and finally couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Instantly, the room was filled with crying voices.

“Ying…”

Keke climbed to the spot where Xu Ying disappeared, scratched with its little paw, then lay down on it.

Xu Xin wiped his already damp cheeks.

Perhaps, for her, this is… the best outcome.

…

In the following period, everyone was very downcast.

Even Lou Fei’Er didn’t have the mood to tease Xu Xin.

And Xu Xin, found himself increasingly experiencing… a strange sense of déjà vu.
