Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1141 - 611: Everyone Knows the Truth (2)

Ji Chaoyang nodded, "That’s why I came up with this idea. Rather than letting them discover on their own and blame us for hiding it, why not tell everyone directly and settle it once and for all?"

After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus.

Indeed, there’s no point in hiding it any longer.

It’s time for them to know the cruel truth of this world.

"There’s another point." Xu Xin proposed an idea, "Not only should we tell them, but we should also inform every survivor we can contact about these circumstances."

If the world channel could still be used, he even wanted to tell all the survivors worldwide about it.

But for now, they could only contact the remaining survivors in Zone 188 and Zone 1.

Nevertheless, that’s enough. After all, they can only bring back survivors from these two zones at present.

"Ah... I suddenly understand why you want someone to go outside." Wen Guixin raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Chaoyang, "Within the World Tree, there’s no way to communicate with people outside."

"Yes, that’s one of the reasons," Ji Chaoyang nodded.

"However, if we are living outside... do we also need someone outside among us?" Li Wenxi asked, "Only we can freely go in and out of the World Tree, right?"

Earlier, the explorers had already discussed it; at least for the moment, apart from Lou Fei’Er and the three others who hadn’t returned, they wouldn’t grant anyone else access to the World Tree.

Their criteria would have to be extremely strict.

After all, the more people there are, the easier it is for things to go wrong.

Alien infiltrators have already eroded human bases in the underground world; they can’t be allowed to bring chaos here.

Moreover, Xu Xin’s abilities can detect infiltrators in the underground human bases, but if something happens here, no one will be able to read others’ thoughts.

If those kinds of people were to gain the ability to freely access the World Tree, it would be a huge problem.

So for now, the only people who can freely go in and out of the World Tree are those present here.

"Actually, there’s no need to worry. We can take turns monitoring," Ji Chaoyang said with a smile, "Don’t forget the hundred-fold time difference. My idea is to always have two people outside observing conditions and contacting other zones, and switch whenever they get tired."

That’s reasonable.

If they rotate shifts every day in terms of internal time, the people outside would have been out for only fifteen minutes.

If they switch every three days in internal time, less than an hour would have passed outside.

Time... remains absurdly abundant.

It’s ridiculous.

"Then it’s decided."

After the discussions, everyone reached a final conclusion.

To inform everyone about the situation.

Xu Xin wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

This task would only take a few minutes, equating to just tens of seconds in the outside world.

Once they gathered everyone, they revealed the truth of the world to them thoroughly.

"That’s how it is, everyone," Xu Xin said, looking at the people present.

The survivors present were in a state of shock; over two hundred people were completely silent.

"No... it can’t be!"

A muttering voice broke the silence.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted.

"Huh? Huh?!"

"A thousand-year-old Earth? Huh?!!"

"Aliens invaded Earth? Damn it!"

"This can’t be... this is too fantastical, how could such a thing happen?"

"I knew it! I knew it! Haha! The species in this world are exactly Earth’s creatures! This totally contradicts my imagination of another world, and it turns out, it’s Earth! I really guessed it!"

"Ah, I also had such thoughts. I initially thought this was Earth’s parallel world, but it turns out... it’s Earth from a thousand years ago!?"

"This is bad; did the alien invaders completely occupy Earth?"

"Damn it, that mysterious voice is from the aliens? The invaders? **** them!"

"...How can anyone believe this!!"

"Why can’t you believe it? Is crossing to another world more believable? I’d rather believe this is still Earth, it’s great!"

"But... but... if it really is a millennium later, then my parents, my friends..."

"Invaded by aliens, humanity a thousand years ago was nearly wiped out? Damn, what a joke!"

"Ah..."

"Oh my god...!"

That person’s words reminded many who were too stunned by the concept of time to consider this issue.

"This..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"But these are words from the explorers... what purpose do they have to deceive us?"

"Hmm... I’m indifferent; I was originally an orphan."

"Haha, away from those parents and relatives, I’m quite happy. Plus, my ex-boyfriend might have perished in that catastrophe? Hmm, even better!"

This group of people is aged 18 to 30, without offspring yet, their concerns mainly lie with parents and relatives.

"I don’t believe it... I don’t believe it..."

"This definitely has to be Earth! The species here are too similar, it couldn’t possibly be another world!"

"Impossible, this simply can’t be real! Unless... unless the explorers provide solid evidence!"

Because of the longstanding reputation the explorers built from the start, even after hearing such shocking and disagreeable news, the survivors refrained from speaking rudely or rioting, and instead, each turned their gaze to the explorers.
