Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 993: Chapter 559: The Mission of the Alien Invaders

Could she really take people across?

"With your... teleportation ability?" Xu Xin immediately asked.

"Yes." Shi Wanyun nodded again, "Drawing the Teleportation Array Pattern requires the blood of a mutated creature and a tree house core. The blood of the mutated creature is used to establish contact, and the energy in the tree house core is used to tear open space and open the spatial transmission channel."

"Can you teleport to any location?" Xu Xin asked in surprise.

"Of course not." Shi Wanyun gently shook her head, "I can establish the teleportation entrance, but the exit is fixed. Teleportation requires divine technology... requires support from alien technology. I’m no superhuman; how could I teleport to any location?"

What she just said had a lot of information.

Xu Xin asked, "You mean the exit location has the extraterrestrial invaders’... transmission device? What does it look like?"

"It’s a cylinder-shaped device buried deep underground, with only a small part exposed above ground, so it looks like a disk."

Shi Wanyun answered everything she was asked, a stark contrast to her previous uncommunicative self.

"You mentioned ’divine technology’ earlier, what is that...?" Xu Xin showed great interest in the term she had mentioned.

"Oh, that was what Number 228 told me. It’s her name for technology that surpasses human advancements, and it’s what all previous batches of survivors call it."

Shi Wanyun looked out the window at the beam of light soaring into the night sky.

Xu Xin followed her gaze and muttered, "Is that also... divine technology?"

"Yes."

Shi Wanyun nodded and continued, "It’s said that human cities can function normally under the siege of beasts without being harmed also because of ’divine technology.’ Almost everyone living in that city believes that even though the divine beings never appeared before them, their safe haven was granted to them through technology by the divine beings."

"...They’re not even considering who caused all this," Xu Xin shook his head.

"They believe being brought to this world by the divine beings is their fortune," Shi Wanyun said softly, "I said this earlier."

"Alright. They’ve been thoroughly brainwashed."

The words divine and technology don’t really belong together.

However, the previous batches of survivors were not completely brainwashed; they did not regard these extraterrestrial invaders as the omnipotent gods of ancient legends.

After all, they had experienced Earth’s age of technology before.

So, although they revered these so-called "divine beings," Shi Wanyun also mentioned that those humans generally believed these divine beings were not mythical creatures but a superior intelligent species with advanced technology.

Thus, terms like "divine technology," which seemed peculiar, emerged and became widely spread among the survivors.

Xu Xin continued to ask, "I remember you mentioned that you could teleport back to your tree house. Does that mean..."

"Yes." Shi Wanyun acknowledged again, "Next to my tree house, there’s indeed a teleportation facility I brought back and set up, buried under my tree house. As soon as I’m ready, I can return to my tree house and take you back with me."

Xu Xin nodded, touching his chin in thought.

Shi Wanyun waited for half a minute and then spoke up worryingly, "Surely you’re not planning to ask me to teleport you to the other hemisphere, right? That is definitely not possible. Currently, you all absolutely lack the power to confront the people over there!"

Xu Xin glanced at her and laughed, "Don’t worry. I’m not that stupid. I wouldn’t rush to my death."

Shi Wanyun did have a way to reach the other hemisphere.

Obtaining such a method was a huge advantage, while when to use it was another matter entirely.

One might not go, but they must possess the means to go.

"That’s good." Shi Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softening significantly, "Now that we have such a stronghold, as long as the World Tree grows successfully, we can maintain an undefeated position here at least."

"We?" Xu Xin shook his head and laughed, "I haven’t considered you one of us yet."

Shi Wanyun’s gaze trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips.

"However, if you can show me everything that happened before I met you, I might reconsider."

Xu Xin was most curious about how she appeared underground and met with him and his companions.

According to her account, she could only teleport to the locations with the so-called divine technology’s transmission devices.

Were there such devices underground?

At the location of the Crystal City?

Did those extraterrestrial invaders discover this long-silent Crystal City long ago?

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanyun’s brows gradually relaxed, and she gently nodded, "Of course, I will naturally tell you everything."

She leaned over, intending to press her forehead against his, but her body paused slightly.

"About the communication with that creature, could I tell you verbally? I’m a bit..."

She slightly raised her head, looking at Xu Xin with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Clearly, she was very afraid.

"Well... of course not." Xu Xin shook his head directly, "This is the most crucial part; just bear with it."

"I... alright..."

"You’re viewing it from a third-person perspective like me, right?" Xu Xin suggested, "Then look in another direction, and don’t look at that creature."
