Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 623: If it were you, how would you choose?

The story is not as complicated as imagined.

Twenty years ago, the lackeys of the alien invaders came to the Wei family and found the current head of the Wei family, Wei Bai.

The purpose is to let the high-level human beings in the underground world cooperate with the human beings on the ground.

At that time, Weibo was shocked that there were still human beings surviving on the ground, so he had a very formal meeting with them.

At that time, the lackeys of the alien invaders were very kind and polite. Their attitude could not even be called "negotiation", but "discussion".

They told Wei Bo the situation on the ground, and showed Wei Bo the state of the prosperous human city on the ground in the form of photos and holographic projections.

Wei Bo saw the sky for the first time, and he was extremely excited at that time, because his lifelong pursuit was to see the sun again with the appointment of the underground world.

The other party told him that as long as they form an alliance with them and continue to cooperate, the human beings who have lived in the underground world for a long time can return to the ground and see the light.

For Wei Bai, this condition is too generous and tempting.

But...he didn't agree at the time.

"When the group of people talked with Grandpa, they didn't mention the alien invaders, but kept saying...'Gods'." Wei Shishi looked at the table in a daze, and said softly.

There were a total of two people who talked with him, a man and a woman, and when they mentioned "gods", their eyes would have a hint of fanaticism.

At first, Wei Bo only thought it was their belief, and didn't think much about it.

Because of belief, such things are too common in the underground world.

In this oppressive underground world where the sky is only three kilometers away, if people do not have faith, it will be difficult for them to survive.

The two statues of Xu Xin and Xu Ying, represented by the central city, are the biggest beliefs in the underground world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are religions.

In the base of the underground world, nearly half of the people believed in these two "gods", because it was these two "gods" that gave them the greatest hope.

"Of course, I don't believe in you. Because our Wei family are all atheists."

Wei Shishi glanced at Xu Xindao.

"Although our Wei family has not fully disclosed your identities, we have all hinted that you are human beings who have traveled through time through technological means and whose lifespan has been extended."

"In the eyes of our Wei family, you are very powerful humans, not gods. Of course, many people still respect you very much. In a family like ours, it is inevitable to respect the strong, but this is not a belief."

Xu Xin smiled wryly.

The **** they worship is not him, but Xu Xin from that time and space.

He seems to be... a bit of a fake tiger.

But Xu Ying beside her was indeed the "god" they believed in.

Wei Shishi continued talking.

With the blessing of this underground world of god-worshipping atmosphere, Wei Bai didn't have any superfluous views on the "gods" that the other party kept mentioning to protect them at first.

But during the discussion, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

The other party did not mention at all that the biggest enemy on the ground was the alien invaders who invaded the earth thousands of years ago, slaughtered a large number of life on earth, and almost wiped out the human race on earth.

In the other party's explanation, he quickly realized that the other party was the lackey of the alien invaders!

He also saw the red lines on the wrist that the other party showed inadvertently, and immediately understood everything.

As the patriarch of a family that lasted for thousands of years, Wei Bai certainly wouldn't lose his composure.

He kept his composure, and with a friendly and positive attitude, he got a lot of information from the other party.

And the information made him even more frightened.

It was also at this time that he learned about the so-called "survivors".

Yes, he knew most of what happened on the ground.

Twenty years ago, three batches of survivors came to the surface of the earth.

As a leader of the underground world, he has been nurtured since he was a child, and he almost hates the alien invaders on the ground, so he naturally cannot agree to this matter.

He tried many methods, but he couldn't figure out how the other party got to the underground world and how to get back.

He didn't know how the other party got into the underground world, so he didn't know how to counter it.

That negotiation is over. There was no failure and no success.

The reason Wei Bo gave was that it is not so easy to decide the fate of hundreds of millions of people in the underground world, and he needs some time to think about it.

The other party also expressed understanding.

After that, the hidden factory of the Wei family began to manufacture weapons and equipment with all their strength. Even though the resources at that time were already in short supply, the Wei family still consumed most of the spare resources to carry out stronger armaments, so as to be prepared.

During this period, Wei Bai also had discussions with the heads of the other two major families.

After all, his Wei family alone is not enough to solve such a big problem.

But the result is not ideal.

The other two families don't have such an inheritance as the Wei family, and they don't want all the heads of the Wei family to have contact with Xu Xin and others.

They have no obsession with returning to the surface, nor do they have any deep-seated hatred of alien invaders.

After all, it was all a thousand years ago.

It has been 40 or 50 generations for them, and they basically don't have any impressions and feelings about what happened thousands of years ago.

Moreover, those rumors that the ground is perilous and hell-like are spread by them. The purpose is to prevent people from still yearning for the ground and wanting to return to the ground.

The two patriarchs didn't have any opinion on the fact that there are still humans on the ground.

They even believe that the legend that alien invaders captured the earth thousands of years ago is not necessarily true. It is likely that some geological disasters on the ground caused human migration underground. Today's ground is no longer suitable for survival, and there is no need to go up .

In short, their attitude is very simple, the ground is too dangerous, and it is more courting death to fight against the alien invaders. What are you going to do, don't involve us, and don't bring disaster to the underground world.

Even though resources were scarce at the time, they had no plans to return to the ground. They plan to solve this problem from other underground areas, after all, the underground world is very big.

In the end, the talks fell through.

"Wait... the other two also know about this?"

Xu Xin frowned and asked.

"...According to grandpa, only the heads of the two families should know about it, and the two did not publicize it to the outside world. Because if the residents of the underground world know that there are people on the ground, and even come to pick them up, there will always be Some people yearn for the ground. I'm afraid there will be chaos."

And that's true.

The people here have been indoctrinated since childhood that the ground is dangerous, and the sun will cause the whole body to fester and die. As a result, there are humans coming down from the ground, and they plan to take them up...

Lies and facts, which side will people choose?

Perhaps the older generation will choose the former and continue to live a stable life, but the new generation may set off a wave of resistance.

For the stability of the human base in the underground world, the heads of the three families all decided not to make this matter public.

"That's why, although the heads of the three families have always known about this matter, other people in the base area did not know it at all. I only learned about this matter from my grandfather's mouth until yesterday."

yesterday…

Um.

Although several days had passed in Xu Xin's subjective time, he spent most of his time in the World Tree.

Based on the time outside the World Tree, Xu Ying and Li Wenxi only came back this morning.

The World Tree siege also took place yesterday.

"What happened after that?" Xu Xin was a little puzzled, "It seems that your grandfather didn't intend to betray?"

Wei Shishi clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said, "Those lackeys have brought the biggest attack ever... mutant creatures!"

Wei Bai himself actually didn't want to have anything to do with these people.

He is someone who has met Xu Ying and Xu Ying, he knows what is going on on the ground, and he knows the virtues of the other party's lackeys.

The opponent's sudden appearance made him a little helpless, so he could only defend passively.

This is also the neutralization method he discussed with the three Patriarchs.

If you are really worried, just let the Wei family in charge of arming strengthen their strength, and make sure that the other party does not hurt them.

As a family that exploits controlled resources, the Yuan family will also open the gates to the Wei family.

After that, Wei Bo discussed with the two humans who came from the ground again, and told them that the people underground had no plans to return to the ground.

The other party expressed regret at the time and left without saying anything.

Things got out of hand after that too.

A few days later, mutated creatures appeared in several cities in the hinterland of the underground human base.

That's right, they didn't attack from the periphery of the underground human base.

Those mutated creatures that were originally surrounded by the underground human base suddenly appeared in large numbers in the hinterland for some reason!

Although it did not appear in the most central city, several surrounding cities have been attacked!

That battle was extremely tragic!

Although only single-digit cities were affected, these are the most densely populated cities among the underground human bases!

Even if the Wei family had a weapon that could easily kill mutant creatures, it would not be able to save the enemy from attacking the enemy.

And in this battle, Wei Bai's son, Wei Shishi's father, who was about to inherit the position of Wei Bai's patriarch, died together with her mother under the siege of mutant creatures.

Those who surrounded and suppressed them were all advanced mutant creatures.

Even though they were protected to the highest degree, the Wei family used their weapons to severely injure each other, but in the end they were sitting on a fighter plane when they were preparing to evacuate, and were attacked by flying mutant creatures, causing the plane to crash and kill everyone.

Wei Shishi said, her emotions didn't fluctuate much: "When they died, I was still young, and I don't have much memory about them. But grandpa..."

When Wei Bo arrived at the scene, he only saw the unrecognizable bodies of the two.

Fortunately, the plane had just taken off at that time, and the speed was not fast, so it could be regarded as leaving a whole body.

Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is the most painful thing. After that, Wei Bai became decadent, his temperament changed drastically, and he stopped participating in decision-making at all.

The Patriarch of the next generation died, and the Patriarch was decadent. Wei Shishi was still a little girl at that time, and the Wei family at that time was completely messed up.

"Grandpa's change of temperament is not simply because of the death of my parents." Wei Shishi bit her lips and said, "If it's just the two of them who died, grandpa as the head of the family will not be sad no matter how sad he is. The Wei family has been disregarded and has been decadent for nearly a year."

"...Those lackeys have come to touch your grandfather again." Xu Xin sighed.

"That's right." Wei Shishi nodded.

The other party did not know how to enter Wei Bo's private room, and at the same time directly confronted Wei Bo: They were the ones who did the mutated creatures.

This, they said, was Weibo's price for rejecting them.

This is also telling the humans in the underground world that you have no ability to resist.

If they don't cooperate with them, everyone in the underground world will die in pain like Wei Bo's son and daughter-in-law.

At that time, as the head of the Wei family, Wei Bai, who had a stable mind, had a very strong urge to kill for the first time, and he also acted on it.

But it didn't work out.

The opponent came prepared, even his face was well protected, and the gun in Wei Bai's hand didn't even make the opponent retreat.

The firearm he used for self-protection was not a top-notch weapon, but it was one of the most powerful among portable handguns. Even so, it didn't hurt the opponent at all.

But this time, the other party has a completely arrogant attitude, completely opposite to the previous kind and humble attitude.

After subduing Wei Bo, the other party did not hurt Wei Bo, but proposed a very tempting condition to him.

Even if they cooperate, most of the humans in the underground world will die, because their "gods" don't need so many humans, but if they don't cooperate, everyone will die.

As long as Wei Bo agrees to use the Wei family as the base point for the above-ground forces to infiltrate the underground, then they can guarantee that people in this central city, including the Wei family, will not die.

At the same time...they will bring Wei Shishi's parents back to life.

"Resurrection?" Xu Xintong flinched suddenly, "Is it true? Or is it fake?"

"It's fake." Xu Ying shook her head aside, "But Wei Bai always thought it was true, because..."

"Because those two lackeys were in front of grandpa, my father was brought back to life." Wei Shishi said.

The other party seemed to deliberately let Wei Shishi's parents die, leaving the whole body behind.

At that time, the time of death of the two men had not exceeded one day, and they had not been buried yet.

Under the actions of the other two, Wei Bo's son's already cold body sat up under Wei Bo's shocked and ecstatic gaze, and even said with difficulty: "Dad..."

Then lie down again.

"The lackeys told him that my parents' brains have not suffered any damage. If they are stimulated and repaired, they can be revived." Wei Shishi whispered, "However, a choice must be made within half a day."

Xu Xin looked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying shook her head: "Other functions of the body have been suspended. It is impossible for the head to be repaired, let alone a day. It is completely dead."

It is indeed the case.

The brain is the most precious and fragile part of the human body. Even if it is only a few minutes without oxygen, the other body parts are still healthy, and the head will die suddenly.

This is why there are so many vegetative people with sound bodies but brain-dead unconsciousness.

In most cases, the brain must be the first organ to die.

This has been dead for a day, and my head is probably already...

"But Grandpa did see my father sitting up and talking. At that time, he thought that alien technology already had the ability to medically repair dead brains. After all..."

Wei Shishi looked at Xu Ying: "After all, Grandpa has seen people who have lived for hundreds of years and can make people live forever. Why can't they come back to life?"

"...It's impossible." Xu Xin frowned.

"Of course it's impossible~www.wuxiamtl.com~Xu Ying shook her head.

"Don't look at how long we can live. Prolonging life is based on the fact that life is still alive. Even in nature, there are some examples of immortality, such as lighthouse jellyfish. But resurrection from the dead is pure nonsense. Yes. If the dead lives can be saved, then those alien invaders may really be called gods."

"But my grandfather didn't think so at the time. At that time, he thought that in the face of the force of the invaders, it was impossible for our Wei family to protect everyone, or even...no one."

Wei Shishi looked at the two, her eyes were slightly red: "If it were you, how would you choose?"

"On the one hand, everyone is going to die together, the lives of people will be ruined, and the underground world will completely become a purgatory."

"On the other hand, some people can survive, and my parents and his son can also be resurrected."

"There is only half a day to choose. After half a day, my parents will die completely and have no chance to come back to life."

"If it were you, how would you choose?"
