On the other side, Shi Wanyun's story continues.

"That night, I slept in room No. 228." Shi Wanyun took a drink from the water glass and continued, "I asked No. 228 a lot about the previous generations of survivors."

"Oh?" Xu Xin's eyes lit up, "What are they doing now?"

"Before us, there were four groups of survivors, and each group had survivors. And those survivors, now, all live on the other hemisphere of the planet, and most of them are concentrated in one area." Shi Wanyun said again

He took a sip of water.

"...in an area?" Xu Xin repeated what she said, "How many survivors are there?"

"Well, there are a lot of them." Shi Wanyun nodded, "There are a lot of survivors in each batch, far more than I imagined."

Now, the strong men in various regions, including Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, generally believe that the survivors of the previous generations had regional rivalries with each other, and in the end there will probably be very few people left.

As a result, Shi Wanyun now said that the number of survivors far exceeded her imagination?

"...Could it be that they didn't engage in regional confrontation?"

"No, they are conducting a regional confrontation. Each batch of survivors will conduct a regional confrontation, and the one who survives in the end is considered a survivor. But their so-called regional confrontation does not seem to be as cruel as we imagined, where you will live and die."

Shi Wanyun turned the empty cup in his hand and said softly: "According to No. 228, she is the third batch of survivors, and their group of survivors actually did not lose too many people in the regional confrontation. From the regional confrontation

From the beginning to the end, the number of survivors only decreased by 30%."

"30%..." Xu Xin said to herself, "Most people survived the regional confrontation?"

"Yes, even among those 30%, some died due to natural disasters. In fact, the number of people who died due to battles between survivors was less."

"Why?"

"Because, the third batch of survivors does not have existences like you and your explorers."

Xu Xin was startled for a moment, then thought: "...You mean, they are too weak, so there is no advantageous means of confrontation between them?"

"This is one of the things." Shi Wanyun nodded, "The most important thing is that the survivors in different areas are very far away from each other."

"So, when regional confrontation comes, most people can't do anything except line up with people from other regions on the world channel."

"Wait a minute." Xu Xin frowned slightly, "Didn't the previous batches of survivors cross-distribute like us?"

Their group of survivors are mixed with those in adjacent areas. Areas 187 and 188 are intersected, and areas 188 and 189 are intersected.

Because of this, they feel that the possible regional confrontation will cause huge losses to the survivors.

"That's what I want to say too."

Shi Wanyun put down the quilt in his hand, looked at Xu Xin and said: "It seems that only our group of survivors is like this. The first four groups of survivors are all divided by region. The survivors on a certain land are all like this.

People from the area.”

Is this actually the case...

"And the most important point is that according to No. 228, at least the third batch of survivors, in the early days of their existence, had never experienced such frequent activities, beast tides and natural disasters as our batch."

"Because of this, although many of their group of survivors died, the final number of survivors was even..."

Shi Wanyun looked out the window and looked at the purple-black light pillars still rising into the sky. Each one basically represented an area.

"Even...more than the remaining survivors of our group. The survivors of the previous batches lived much more comfortably than we did."

Hearing this, Xu Xin gently clicked his tongue.

This is not a comfortable thing.

Are they the only ones who receive special treatment?

Why?

He looked out the window at the Crystal City, which was still shining brightly in the dark night.

Is it because they are explorers?

To put it into perspective, that image Xu Xin once said that their team would only have tens of thousands of people at its maximum.

Therefore, even if they send all their past selves to the future, there should only be tens of thousands of them.

As for their group of survivors, there were initially two million areas, with 10,000 people in each area, making a total of two million people.

It would make sense if other survivors who came to this era did not imitate what Xu Xin and the others did.

And those tens of thousands of people who were sent to this era by Xu Xin and others, perhaps... are all among their fifth batch of survivors.

Is that why those alien invaders give them special treatment?

Or is it just because they were dissatisfied with the performance of the first four batches of survivors and did not satisfy their sadistic needs that they made the experience of this fifth batch crueler?

"Keep talking." Xu Xin said to Shi Wanyun who stopped talking because he was thinking.

Shi Wanyun nodded and continued: "No. 228 basically told me everything she knew. She is the third batch of survivors, so she knows the most about the third batch of survivors, but according to her, the second batch

The experiences of the first batch and the fourth batch of survivors were basically similar to hers."

"What about the first batch?"

"She doesn't know much about the first batch..." Shi Wanyun said with some helplessness, "The number of the first batch of survivors is the smallest. She said that she has never seen a few of the first batch of survivors.

"

"As the first batch of humans to take root on this planet, the first batch of survivors are basically 70 or 80 years old now, and almost all of them are people with very high status there, and they are really out of reach of ordinary people."

"But according to the rumors she heard, the experience of the first batch of survivors was very cruel, much more cruel than the second, third, and fourth batches, and the mortality rate was also ridiculously high. The humans who could survive the first batch of survivors,

They are all outstanding ones."

"But because too many people died, it is said that the higher intelligent creatures who sent us to this world were very dissatisfied, so the difficulty of the activities experienced by the second, third, and fourth batch of survivors was greatly reduced.

The number of survivors has also increased significantly."

"No. 228 also said that the following batches of survivors should thank the first batch of survivors for their sacrifice and dedication, otherwise she would have died in the survival selection long ago."

In other words, the difficulty of survival in the first batch is very high, and the difficulty in the second, third and fourth batches decreases.

But in their fifth batch, the difficulty increased again.

...maybe even harder than the first batch.

"Isn't that woman you talked to the first batch of survivors?" Xu Xin asked.

"Well, she is indeed, but No. 228 also said that the supervisor was the only first batch of survivors she had ever seen, and she only saw it after coming to the World Tree. Before that, she even thought that the first batch of survivors was

All the survivors have died."

"...Before that?" Xu Xin asked the question that he had always been concerned about, "Where were the survivors on the tree you arrived at and what were they doing before they came to that giant tree?"

"They have their own city that belongs to humans." Shi Wanyun's expression became softer.

"...?Human city?"

"Well," Shi Wanyun nodded slightly, his voice becoming softer than before, "these survivors, starting from the first batch, have established their own cities, which is what I just said

, that area where humans gather.”

Humans have also built cities on the ground?

"A city run by humans themselves?" he asked with some suspicion.

"Well, that's right, it's a city managed by humans themselves." Shi Wanyun responded, "It's almost the same as our world, it's a city managed by humans themselves."

"However, leaving the city is not allowed.

Only humans are allowed to carry out activities in that area. There are groups of mutant creatures outside the city, with the lowest level being intermediate and there are many advanced mutant creatures. Those mutant creatures will not attack human gathering places, but once someone steps out of the activity area,

They will be slaughtered by the beasts."

Xu Xin did not expect this.

Back in the Crystal Palace, Xu Xin in the image told him that after the earth was invaded, the humans who were selected to survive were just slaves of the alien invaders.

How could they allow a group of slaves to build a city and manage it themselves?

Is that still called a slave?

But now, this kind of thing has really happened.

In addition to the human base below the ground, there is actually a human city above the ground!

why is that?

Keeping humans in captivity?

Or is it that those alien invaders have discovered their conscience and want to give humans a space to survive?

"As long as the first few batches of survivors survive, they will be concentrated in that city."

"The city is rich in resources. Apart from the occasional labor, there is no pressure in life. Human beings living in the city have given birth to newborns generation after generation."

"According to what No. 228 told me, the number of humans in their city has exceeded two million. That city is the first city built by humans in this world."

Xu Xin raised her eyebrows.

This is quite a lot.

A city with more than two million people would have been considered a relatively large city even on Earth a thousand years ago.
