Ocean...?

Xu Xin took a deep breath.

He almost forgot that in addition to land, this world also had oceans.

A distance of six to seven hundred kilometers is not that far on this expanding earth.

The diameter of the current Earth has expanded ten times compared to before, the surface area has expanded a hundred times, and the volume has expanded compared to its predecessors.

Distance is length, so a distance of six to seven hundred kilometers was only sixty to seventy kilometers on the earth a thousand years ago.

People who lived here back then could get to the beach in half an hour to an hour by driving on the highway.

To round it all off, it means living by the sea.

"……Pacific Ocean?"

"Well, Pacific Ocean." Xu Ying looked at Xu Xin and smiled, "We are still on the land of the motherland. How about it? Are you touched?"

"...It's a little bit." Xu Xin sighed.

"Humph, of course we will choose the nearest place. We can't choose a place that is too far away."

Xu Ying turned to look at the tree house again.

"Our side belongs to the side that was not illuminated by the red light during the catastrophe and the creatures did not mutate. But the situation on the other side of the ocean was miserable. At the beginning of the disaster, all the creatures mutated under the red light and became aliens.

The invaders’… first batch of cannon fodder and lackeys.”

"So, currently, there are no normal creatures like ours on the land in the other hemisphere. There...are almost all mutant creatures."

Xu Xin immediately thought of the area next to the World Tree in the other hemisphere in Shi Wanyun's memory.

Mutated creatures are everywhere.

They are basically all advanced mutated creatures, and all of them are very powerful.

It seems that the entire area on the land in that hemisphere is probably in this kind of situation.

Of course, the mutant creatures next to the World Tree should be more powerful, and I'm afraid it won't be so exaggerated in other areas.

Xu Xin suddenly had an idea flash in his mind: "Wait a minute, the alien invaders relied on the World Tree to colonize the world, so they couldn't colonize this vast ocean, right? The underground world under the ocean..."

"Very smart." Xu Ying smiled, "Yes, they cannot control the underground world under the ocean. Although their world-destroying red light also illuminated the ocean, it only affected the creatures in the shallow sea.

, they cannot be affected in the deep sea. The penetrating power of the red light is not strong, it is about the same as sunlight."

The penetrating power of sunlight can be said to be like shining a layer of skin on the ocean.

In the ocean, below 200 meters deep, human eyes are completely unable to capture sunlight.

At water depths of 200 meters to 1,000 meters, there are still some light-sensitive organisms that can capture sunlight with their eyes, but at this depth, no organisms can perform photosynthesis.

As for below 1,000 meters, it is complete darkness, and all known earth creatures cannot sense sunlight.

The average depth of the ocean is 3,347 meters, and the deepest Mariana Trench can reach 11,034 meters.

That is darkness that sunlight cannot penetrate at all.

"The red light needs to be bright enough to have a mutating effect on living creatures. At first, they only affected the living creatures in the sea area about two hundred meters deep, and further down, they cannot affect it. They basically have no impact on the deep sea.

but……"

The corners of Xu Ying's lips curled up into a slightly smug smile: "Our bloodline of giant beasts can affect it. Back then, the bloodline of giants flowed all over the mountains, rivers and into the ocean. Naturally, we also mixed some ingredients into it to make this

The bloodline is even richer."

"From the current point of view, the creatures in the deep sea must have been affected. The bottom of the sea is now extremely dark and the habitat of giant sea monsters!"

Xu Xin imagined that scene and suddenly felt a little frightened.

Giant sea monster.

You know, even on Earth thousands of years ago, the deep sea was an extremely mysterious realm.

Humanity's understanding of the deep sea is even inferior to that of space.

After all, space can still be directly observed, but the deep sea...

It was an extremely mysterious realm, and the creatures all had extremely strange and bizarre appearances, as if they were from a different planet than the creatures on the ground.

Scientists used to believe that in a harsh environment like the deep sea, where life was scarce and lacked light and food, the individual organisms there would not be too large.

But the reality is just the opposite.

The deep sea is filled with all kinds of giant monsters.

For example, the giant squid, which is more than ten times larger than the normal squid, and the Styx jellyfish, which can be more than ten meters long, are both monsters from the deep sea.

There are also huge sea slugs, sponges, worms, sea spiders, and even single-celled organisms that are extremely huge compared to the ground, all of which can be seen in the deep sea.

This phenomenon was called deep sea gigantism by scientists thousands of years ago.

Therefore, the deep sea is originally a gathering place for monsters.

And now, under the influence of the giant beast's bloodline, these monsters have become even bigger!

Moreover, the blood of giant beasts can also enlighten living beings...

From this point of view, it is very likely that a group of terrifying deep-sea monsters with high IQs exist in the deep sea today!

This really makes my scalp numb just thinking about it...

"Wait... the current depth of the ocean should be..." Xu Xin suddenly thought of something and took a slight breath.

"Well, the current depth of the ocean is ten times that of before." Xu Ying said, and shuddered slightly, "It's scary to think about it... In short, the underground world under the seabed is not theirs.

A place that is easy to reach, so..."

"You established the underground human base area...under the ocean." Xu Xin took over the words and said.

"...As expected of me, brother." Xu Ying curled her lips, "It was also my brother who made this proposal."

...It turns out that the location of the underground human base is actually under the deep sea!

Xu Xin's scalp began to feel numb again when he thought of the extremely terrifying ocean world above his head.

It's really a good thing that I don't know. Once I know it, I'm afraid it will cause panic.

"Okay, okay, aren't we here to pick up someone? Why are we talking about the underground world?" Xu Ying interrupted the conversation about this at the right time and looked at the tree house only a few dozen meters away from the two of them.

, "We are very close now. There is indeed no one inside. We need to go in and have a look... huh?!"

Xu Ying suddenly let out a sound of surprise, then grabbed Xu Xin's arm and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xu Xin immediately tensed up and asked in a low voice.

"...transmission device."

Xu Xin looked towards the side of the tree house. Sure enough, there was a metal pillar with a small portion of it exposed on the ground. Because the exposed part was too short, it looked more like a metal disc.

"Didn't I tell you before? It was Shi Wanyun who brought her back..."

"Shh!" Xu Ying raised her index finger in front of her lips, interrupted Xu Xin's words, and whispered, "Transportation device, someone is coming!"

Xu Xin was shocked.

Could it be Shi Wanyun and the others?

...What a coincidence?
