Chapter 562 Anthropologist(1/2)
Li Wenxi knew that there was a battle going on on the ground, and she wanted to go back to help Xu Xin and the others.
"Go back..." Xu Ying hesitated.
"Since this place has been exposed, then we don't need to be cautious and afraid of being discovered down there, right?" Li Wenxi turned the watch on her wrist.
This watch has completely lost its ability to communicate since it was taken off.
"Well... Having said that, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange." Xu Ying frowned and thought.
"Qiqi? What do you mean..."
"I suspect that the human strongholds in the underground world have not been completely discovered."
"...Huh?" Li Wenxi was a little confused, "What do you mean? Not completely discovered? You mean, the other party only discovered part of the human underground stronghold? It's unlikely, human strongholds are not connected together as a whole.
Movie? Moreover, this is the center of the human base, right? You have discovered those mutated humans here, so isn’t that..."
Doesn't that mean that the underground human base has been completely explored?
"Ah, that's not what I meant when I said it was not completely discovered." Xu Ying waved her hands hurriedly, "I mean, the fact that there is a base for human survivors in the underground world has not been widely known among the alien invaders.
Spread it around and let them all know.”
"...I don't understand..." Li Wenxi was a little confused, "Why do you think so?"
"Well, it's normal that you don't understand. After all, you don't know the attitude of those alien invaders towards humans." Thinking of this, Xu Ying sighed softly.
"Attitude? What do you mean?"
"Well..." Xu Ying tapped her lips with her index finger and gave an example, "Are you afraid of cockroaches?"
"...cockroach?" Li Wenxi blinked, "...a little bit."
"What if they crawl on you?"
"...That's simply scarier than mutant creatures!" Li Wenxi thought about that scene, suddenly trembled, and shook her head violently.
"Those alien invaders also see us this way." Xu Ying spread her hands and said, "Some of them are even afraid of us. They will scream loudly and call us monsters when they see us."
"...Huh?" Li Wenxi's eyes widened, "Why? We are much weaker than them, and we can't hurt them."
"Can cockroaches hurt you?"
"Ah this..."
"So."
Xu Ying walked to the window, lay on the window edge and looked out.
"If the fact that we have a base in the underground world is known to their entire group, they will not let hundreds of millions of people survive. They have now regarded the earth as their backyard, and you will let hundreds of millions of cockroaches survive.
Thriving in your backyard?"
"Of course it won't happen. I can't stand it at all. What if I crawl home..."
"This should be their thinking." Xu Ying turned around and leaned against the window sill. "If they knew that there was such a huge human base in the underground world with a population of hundreds of millions, would they let it go?"
"Then what you mean is that they just...certain individuals discovered this place?" Li Wenxi understood Xu Ying's thoughts.
"That's what it means." Xu Ying nodded, "One of them discovered this place, but maybe because he was very interested in this place, he did not report it to the superiors. Instead, he sent people down to investigate privately."
"And there is such a thing...an entomologist who likes cockroaches?" Li Wenxi half-joked.
"Don't tell me, it's really possible." Xu Ying looked at her seriously and said, "Even your farce of survivors might be caused by this 'entomologist' or 'anthropologist'
The ghost."
"Are you saying that the collective survival activities of survivors are also carried out privately by this 'entomologist'?" Li Wenxi said in surprise.
"That's not the case." Xu Ying walked to the bed and sat down. "It is impossible not to be discovered on the ground, but it may be a research project of it or its team, which was implemented after convincing other monsters.
Plan. But because they are still disgusted by humans, the survivor plan is carried out in the other hemisphere that is very far away from them."
"Is this all your guess, or is there already evidence?" Li Wenxi asked.
"Oh, although there is no evidence, this guess is reasonable, right?" Xu Ying lay on the bed and sighed, "If this is really the case, maybe our situation is not so bad."
"Hey, do you think this so-called 'entomologist' can communicate with us?" Li Wenxi suddenly had a whim, "Maybe it does this because it likes humans?"
"It's unlikely that I'll like you... But I have the idea of communicating with the other person. Since the other person can tolerate the existence of hundreds of millions of humans, he should also be able to tolerate communication with humans."
With that said, she sat up again: "So, don't think about going up now, sister-in-law. If this is the case, if you go up and other intruders find out, it will be really cool."
"Well, okay, okay." Li Wenxi was a little disappointed.
Xu Ying raised her chin, looked out the window and muttered to herself: "What should I do? Do you want to go over there to explore? No... let's look here first. If we can catch those mutated humans who came down to explore,
Come out, maybe you can learn something."
Li Wenxi thought for a while and then asked: "Um, how many alien invaders are there?"
"Quantity? Hmm..." Xu Ying thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know how many alien invaders there are in the world now, but at that time, the number of alien invaders resident on the earth was about
...nearly a thousand."
"Nearly a thousand? Well... how should I put it, a little less than expected?" Li Wenxi tilted her head, "Didn't you say that they regard the earth as a very important colony? In the end, it was...nearly a thousand
One? Are they huge?"
"Huge? No, no, actually, it's about the same size as us humans on Earth."
"That……"
Nearly a thousand individuals about the same size as humans can colonize this huge planet...?
"Nearly a thousand. That was also the number when the world finally collapsed. In fact, there were only a few hundred that invaded the earth in the first place."
Xu Ying explained: "When they first came to this planet, they actually just wanted to plunder resources in the short term. When the planet's resources useful to them are exhausted, they will leave."
"So when we were first captured, we were told that these invaders would only stay on the earth for about ten years at most before leaving. So at that time, our group of captives were divided into three groups.
"
"One group believes that after they leave, we survivors can stay and rebuild our homes.
Another group believes that they will take us away and conquer the entire universe with them.
The last group believes that after they have finished using us, they will slaughter us all when they leave."
"But as you know, they didn't know why, and they suddenly stayed."
"I think they want to obtain the unique bloodline of giant beasts on this planet to strengthen their interstellar plundering army. Their subsequent actions are indeed centered around the bloodline of giant beasts. But I always feel...
It’s not that simple.”
With doubts in Xu Ying's eyes, she turned to look out the window again: "Is the bloodline of giant beasts really that important in the face of high-tech weapons? What about the huge changes in the earth? The size of the earth has expanded a thousand times. This is
Can the bloodline of giant beasts extracted from fossils be comparable?"
"Perhaps..." Li Wenxi guessed, "The bloodline of giant beasts is indeed their goal, but it is just one of their goals."
"Well, I think so too." Xu Ying raised her head and looked at the crystal stones scattered above the dome, "The energy contained in these crystal stones is extremely huge, and these things may also be one of their purposes."
She then shook her head: "Forget it, who can guess their purpose... Where did I just talk about? Ah, the number of these alien invaders."
"At that time, we were three hundred years after the disaster, and the number of alien invaders increased from less than a hundred to more than a thousand. But now it is a thousand years later..."
Li Wenxi took over: "The number of them is likely to be more. For example, tens of thousands?"
"Well, it's very possible." Xu Ying nodded, "Tens of thousands. Tens of thousands..."
After repeating the sentence, she suddenly smiled bitterly.
"That's not a lot."
"...If you saw what they looked like, you wouldn't think so." As she said that, Xu Ying showed a look of extreme disgust on her face, "Their looks are really too random. Put them in the cold."
Wu Ji, that's all a monster..."
Cambrian period, an era of life on earth 500 million years ago.
Because all things are still in the initial exploration stage of life, unlike modern organisms that have experienced a long period of natural selection, all Cambrian organisms have a very random appearance.
Put the life of the Cambrian period into the present, and enlarge the individuals to human size, and the magical appearance is comparable to that of the Cthulhu monster.
Even in the Cambrian period, it was a monster, so what on earth would it look like...
To be honest, Li Wenxi was a little curious: "So what does it look like?"
"This... you should go and see it yourself, sister-in-law, you will come into contact with it in the future." Xu Ying said helplessly, "Their individual differences are not small, each one looks a little different, and I can't even describe it if you ask me.
of."
"That's it." Li Wenxi became even more curious.
"Moreover, those alien invaders are not only very powerful individually and almost impossible to kill, but most importantly, their means of controlling other life forms are so powerful that one individual is an endless army. What kind of mutated creatures are there?
I’ll say it again.”
"Indeed..." Li Wenxi nodded.
Xu Ying was a little troubled: "So, the number of those monsters doesn't need to be too many at all. Hundreds are enough to rule this planet. If there are tens of thousands, then... Brother, he really left me
It’s a mess…”
