Chapter 1037 - 575: Suspicion

On the surface, Xu Xin had already gathered all the members of the explorers.

He also called over Lou Fei’Er, Zeng Tao, Jin Yue, Qin Fu, and Ma Hongwei.

Everyone gathered in his treehouse.

"It’s so early now, I thought something had happened... but it’s still so calm outside," Wen Guixin said, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Yeah, what’s the matter, Brother Xin? I actually just went to sleep..." Zhao Xiaochuan also looked drowsy.

Beside him, Qi Xuefei also seemed a bit tired, her eyelashes fluttering.

It seemed that everyone didn’t sleep well last night.

After all, it’s a special time now, and there were many things to consider and do last night, so it’s normal not to sleep well.

"We should be conserving our energy properly, what’s with all of you looking like this?" Wang Lei was quite energetic and not too pleased with their appearance.

"It’s just that I slept too late last night and didn’t rest well," Qin Yunlong said, taking out a blue-grade orange and starting to peel it. "It’s no big deal; eating an orange will fix it."

"That’s true... but, why did Brother Xin call us here?" Wang Lei looked at Xu Xin.

"Brother Xin must have gone out last night and discovered something," Qin Fu said with a smile, leaning against the wall and looking at Xu Xin.

He knew what had happened last night; he knew Xu Xin had found his sister, but he was unaware of other things.

Beside him, Lou Fei’Er was also curiously looking at Xu Xin.

After she left, she hadn’t slept at all, constantly thinking about Xu Xin’s situation.

Beside her, Zeng Tao was nodding off like a student dozing off in class.

Jin Yue was not sitting but standing by the window, observing outside.

It was already daylight.

"I didn’t sleep last night either and saw you went out," Ji Chaoyang looked at Xu Xin, "What did you find outside?"

"Here’s the thing," Xu Xin organized his words and told everyone present about the matters Xu Ying informed him of and his own speculations.

The expressions of everyone present changed gradually as Xu Xin spoke.

Of course, during his narration, he fulfilled Shi Wanyun’s wish and didn’t expose her ability, only saying it was Shi Wanyun’s account.

He also heeded Xu Ying’s advice and didn’t reveal the underground human base information.

At least, judging by Ji Chaoyang’s expression and eyes, he probably already guessed the underground base situation long ago.

Finally, when Xu Xin finished telling what he knew, everyone fell into silence.

The combination of information from Shi Wanyun’s memory and what Xu Ying provided left everyone present shocked and deep in thought.

The first to speak was Ji Chaoyang, who looked towards the closed door of the secondary bedroom: "Shi Wanyun is in your treehouse right now, right? Can you be sure that the information she told you doesn’t contain lies?"

The others also glanced at Shi Wanyun’s door.

"...I can be sure," Xu Xin nodded, "I believe our gene therapy has freed her from control, and her account is also recognized by my sister."

"Is that so..." Ji Chaoyang thought for a while and nodded, "If it’s recognized by Xu Ying..."

"Brother Xin, isn’t it inaccurate to call her your sister?" Wang Lei scratched his head, then displayed a very surprised expression, "She’s hundreds of years old! Hundreds of years!"

Xu Xin smiled, "As long as she calls me brother, she is my sister."

He knew that for this Xu Ying, even though he wasn’t the same Xu Xin who devised all these plans initially, he was still the person closest to her in this lonely world.

"It’s unbelievable that someone from that time could live to our era!" Zhao Xiaochuan exclaimed in shock, "And she turns out to be Brother Xin’s sister!"

"You could say she didn’t exactly live to our era?" Wen Guixin, who was the farthest from everyone else, countered, "She only reached this era by traversing through time several times; her understanding of this time-space may not be much more than ours."

"How can that be? She stayed at several time points in this millennium!"

Everyone was very interested in Xu Ying’s existence.

Moreover, Xu Ying’s presence seemed like a lighthouse in the dark, providing a sense of relief to everyone.

At least, one of the team members from back then survived!

That’s excellent news for those who currently knew nothing about the alien invaders!

However...

"...Yingying hasn’t experienced the last fifty years, the period the survivors emerged," Xu Xin cooled down the group’s enthusiasm, "so her understanding of the situation of survivors might not exceed our own knowledge."

"That’s really..." Everyone felt it was a bit of a shame.

According to Xu Xin’s account just now, they all understood that although Xu Ying had the ability to traverse to the past, doing so could lead to a terrifying butterfly effect, even resulting in a time-space collapse.

So, the past had already passed.
