This is it."

Li Wenxi looked up at the sky.

"Directly above here is the location of the metal mine I mentioned."

Beside her, Xu Ying and Wei Shishi looked up together.

The old man Wei Bai received the call just now and didn't know what it was about. His expression became a little serious and he hurried back.

Before leaving, he asked Wei Shishi to stay here and meet Li Wenxi.

"Is this here..." Wei Shishi looked around and her expression relaxed slightly, "This area is sparsely populated and there are no residential areas, which saves us a lot of trouble. When mining, just set the area below as a dangerous area that is forbidden to enter.

That’s good.”

Xu Ying lowered her head and rubbed her neck: "Oh, I'm getting older and my neck will hurt if I raise my head for too long. I mean, little girl, you have to respect your seniors."

She meant this to Wei Shishi.

I don't know why, but Wei Shishi didn't give her a good look along the way. She kept a straight face, as if Xu Ying owed her money.

"How old?" Wei Shishi glanced at her, "You just know how to travel through time, right? Your real age is about the same as mine."

Xu Ying spread her hands and made a helpless expression: "So, today's young people are really mysteriously confident."

"Are you...an aunt over forty years old?" Wei Shishi turned to look at her.

"...Who do you think is the aunt?" Xu Ying was the first to break her guard and glared.

Although she has lived for a long time, she has always been like a little sister in the team at that time.

Most of the people in their team also have no offspring. After all, in that environment where everyone is in danger, giving birth to offspring is not a wise choice.

In addition, the life spans of the people in the team at that time were very long, so most people had no idea of ​​having offspring to continue the family line.

So how has she ever been called aunt?

Of course, this does not mean that there were very few humans in the new generation at that time; on the contrary, there were not many at all.

At that time, most of the new generation of humans were born from those who had completely surrendered to the alien invaders.

They have achieved a relatively stable life and are naturally able to raise their children.

Fortunately, the descendants of those people are not as thoroughly brainwashed as they were, and have fanatical worship and pursuit of alien invaders.

They have their own ideas. Although most people have been taught to fight against those alien invaders since childhood, young people always have a rebellious spirit.

After learning the truth of that year, a considerable number of people still chose to join the resistance team.

The first step of the original plan to return to the past was carried out by relying on these people.

"What did you say?" Wei Shishi rolled her eyes, "A person who relies on time travel to pretend to be a magician, what qualifications do you have for me to call you senior?"

In her mind, Xu Ying should have been about the same age as her grandfather when she met her grandfather.

Then Xu Ying immediately crossed time and came to modern times, which means that her current age should be in her twenties.

Even her grandfather Wei Bai thinks so.

"I..." Xu Ying was speechless...

She didn't want to reveal her identity.

Her identity is a big loophole in this world. The fewer people know about it, the better. If too many people know about it, if the world notices the abnormality, she will be eliminated from the world like her brother.

But this girl in front of me is really annoying!

What, why are you so hostile to her!

Don't be angry, don't be angry, Xu Ying, you are over 300 years old, why are you angry with a little girl in her twenties?

"Well, please stop arguing. Can't we get along well?" Li Wenxi said helplessly.

She also has a very energetic personality. She came into this world

After entering the world, I have only suppressed my curiosity. I am not familiar with the place, and I am no longer so willful.

Along the way just now, these two people quarreled countless times.

In front of these two people, she always felt that she was playing the role of a close sister.

"Hmph, who wants to get along with her?" Wei Shishi snorted.

"You, you..." Xu Ying gritted her teeth, getting angrier as she thought about it.

Wei Shishi turned to look at Li Wenxi, her tone became much more normal and said: "I have noted the location here, are there any other places around it?"

"I've only found this one for the time being. I haven't had a good look around yet." Li Wenxi said.

"Okay, here's this for you."

Wei Shishi took out a small instrument from her pocket and handed it to Li Wenxi.

"This is……"

Li Wenxi looked at the small device in his hand curiously.

earphone?

"Wear it on your ear and you can contact me directly with three clicks. The communication channel is encrypted, so you don't have to worry about being eavesdropped." Wei Shishi explained, "If you discover a new location or have any trouble, you can always contact me.

Contact me."

"Ah, there is such a good thing!" Li Wenxi said in surprise, a little happy, "Then I will accept it!"

"Hey, where's mine?" Xu Ying glared at Wei Shishi.

"You? Aren't you very powerful? Do you still need our help?" Wei Shishi's tone suddenly turned cold.

"I……"

Wei Shishi turned to look at Li Wenxi, and her voice became calm again: "If you are not satisfied with the accommodation this woman provides you, or if you encounter any danger here, please contact me at any time. Our Wei family welcomes you at any time."

"Oh..." Li Wenxi nodded, then felt something was wrong and secretly glanced at Xu Ying.

"Then I'll go back first." Wei Shishi turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" Xu Ying stretched out her hand and held Wei Shishi's arm, saying angrily, "What's going on with you? Why are you so hostile to me? Tell me clearly!"

"...Don't you know what you did more than fifty years ago?" Wei Shishi waved her hand vigorously, shook off Xu Ying's hand, then turned around and left.

"What did I do? I did..." Xu Ying was stunned, "What did I do? Wait a minute, you..."

By the time she reacted, Wei Shishi had disappeared.

"What are you doing..."

"...You didn't trash my grandfather, did you?" Li Wenxi snickered, touching Xu Ying's waist with her elbow, "I always feel that she listened to what her grandfather said, and then she became dissatisfied.

If you have any objections, you probably did something that started in chaos and then gave up, right?”…

"What!" Xu Ying screamed, "Me, me, me, that guy Wei Bai and I are just normal friends!"

"Then why is she so unhappy with you? Everything she knows about you should be from her grandfather, right?" Li Wenxi looked in the direction Wei Shishi was walking away.

"This is nothing! Not to mention that it is impossible, and even if it is true, does her grandfather's feelings and experiences require her to fight against injustice?"

Xu Ying suddenly couldn't sit still: "No, I have to ask that old guy! What bad things did that guy say about me to his granddaughter? He couldn't really say anything nonsense!"

"Hey!" Li Wenxi quickly grabbed her, "Is the old man still busy? He seemed to have a serious face when he left. It's better not to disturb others for the time being. Could it be that those giant beasts are attacking again?"

"...Hmph, it shouldn't be. If it is, won't he tell us?" Xu Ying didn't rush over and curled her lips and said, "It feels like the three of them got together to discuss important matters, and it might have something to do with me.

, that’s why you didn’t tell me?”

"That's it..." Li Wenxi rubbed her eyes slightly, "Then let's go back, I'm a little sleepy, it's already late... Wow! It's almost twelve o'clock!"

She looked at her watch and exclaimed: "It's so late! It's almost the next day!"

"Oh, that's the bad thing about this place." Xu Ying looked up at the sky. Two or three thousand meters above, those crystal stones were still emitting light. "It's the same day and night. There are no four seasons here.

In life, it always feels like time has stood still.”

"Ah...then what's the daily routine of the people here?" Li Wenxi looked in the direction of the living area.

On the street over there, there were originally a lot of pedestrians and vehicles, but now they are much rarer.

Although it hasn't gotten dark yet, everyone seems to have taken a rest.

"Because everyone's schedule is similar to that on the ground. After all, the time for study and work is still the same."

Xu Ying explained: "Working from 9 to 6, 8 to 5, with fixed working and school hours, everyone's schedule is almost the same as that of humans on the ground. Of course, there is no shortage of people who stay up late.

However, it shouldn’t be considered ‘staying up late’ here, right? After all, there is no night at all.”

"Well, this is really a magical world..." Li Wenxi felt that she still didn't understand this place very well, and she had the urge to wander around.

She took out the blue-level oranges she brought out from her backpack and started peeling them: "That's good, there are few people active now, and we won't attract too many people's attention. Let's go around!"

"Ah, isn't that the magic orange (blue) that stays up late?" Xu Ying's eyes lit up, "You brought such a good thing down."

"You must have used this before, right?" Li Wenxi took out one again and handed it to Xu Ying.

"I miss you so much!" Xu Ying held the orange in her hand, looked at it over and over, and sighed, "There were many such orange trees planted in our team's science and technology park. At that time, we could not wait to break them into two parts in a minute.
