Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1134 - 609: Minor Spatiotemporal Disturbance

"You mean... you want me to use my mind-reading ability to help you identify which ones are the alien invaders’ minions?" Xu Xin understood what Li Wenxi and Xu Ying meant.

Being able to read what the other party is thinking does make it very easy to discern their thoughts.

"Yes, that’s exactly what I mean." Xu Ying sat down, crossing her legs, "If your mind-reading ability is truly as you claim, brother, this task is perfect for you, and we might even uncover some of their plans."

"...As for the plans, that might be difficult." Xu Xin lowered his head, pondering for a moment before looking up, "Don’t forget what kind of people those alien invaders’ minions are."

According to the information Xu Ying provided earlier, the alien invaders’ minions who infiltrated the underground world haven’t experienced bloodline mutations. If they had, Xu Ying could have spotted them immediately.

So, the minions in the underground world can’t be from the post-war group that underwent bloodline mutations.

This means that this group is likely...

Survivors.

Survivors living in the human city on the other hemisphere.

And these people have experienced time travel, having traversed from a thousand years ago.

Xu Xin couldn’t hear their inner voices.

"Yes, if they are alien invaders’ minions, they are very likely survivors who have experienced time travel." Xu Ying understood this as well.

"So, if we encounter people whose minds can’t be read, they are pretty much minions," Li Wenxi added, "Wow, your ability is really convenient."

"But there could also be minions whose minds can be read. In that human city, the earlier generations of survivors have descendants, brother, didn’t you tell me that?"

...Ah! That’s right!

Xu Xin slapped his forehead.

With all the information received these past few days, his mind was a bit muddled, almost forgetting this point.

Indeed, the descendants of those survivors haven’t experienced time travel or bloodline mutations!

If the enemy sent these people, then Xu Xin might be able to read their minds!

Of course, that’s assuming their parents’ time travel had no effect on them.

"So, I might encounter three types of people," Xu Xin held up three fingers.

"Yes, the first type is people whose minds cannot be read. Those are definitely the alien invaders’ minions, survivors from earlier generations who have become minions," Xu Ying stated.

"The second type is the descendants of those earlier generations of survivors, who are readable, and we can gather some information from their thoughts to determine if they are minions," Li Wenxi continued.

"And the third type is... the traitors within the underground human base," Xu Xin concluded, "Those people can also be read, but they aren’t minions, just traitors."

Hearing the word "traitor," Xu Ying’s eyes dimmed slightly, and she paused for two seconds before saying, "If we encounter such people, my plan is to just..."

Xu Ying made a slashing motion across her white neck with her hand.

This action even left a white mark on her neck, which slowly turned red.

"...So ruthless?" Xu Xin was taken aback for a moment.

Li Wenxi glanced at Xu Ying, opened her red lips, wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing, letting out a slight sigh.

"Those people are just useless traitors." Xu Ying gritted her teeth, "We get no useful information out of them; they’re just tools."

"I don’t mind. I really dislike traitors," Xu Xin shrugged slightly.

There was no problem with killing traitors; he had no aversion to killing now.

It’s not like he hasn’t killed before.

Besides, leaving these traitors alive would be troublesome, and even though there’s a chance for them to reform, Xu Xin wasn’t willing to give them that chance.

He could read their thoughts, and after extracting useful information, he would just kill them.

"But what I want to know more now," Xu Xin’s gaze moved back and forth between Li Wenxi and Xu Ying, "is what you two encountered down there?"

Clearly, Xu Ying and Li Wenxi’s attitudes were a bit peculiar earlier.

"Actually..." Li Wenxi began softly.

"Once we’re down there, you’ll find out," Xu Ying interrupted Li Wenxi, "Talking about it now would take too long to explain, and it’ll be easier if we just take you down there to see for yourself."

In this World Tree, there’s no fear of running out of time.

Speaking for an hour outside only takes a few seconds here.

Xu Xin glanced at Xu Ying.

She seemed reluctant to bring it up?

"By the way, Wenxi, you can now freely access the World Tree," Xu Xin stopped pressing the matter and turned to Li Wenxi with a smile, "We’ve given you permission."

"Oh, I see." Li Wenxi blinked, "So, I can bring people down to the underground world to mine now?"

"Exactly."

"Great!" Li Wenxi immediately stood up, "The furnace has been empty for too long, it’s making me anxious! I’m going to find some miners right away!"

Li Wenxi eagerly went off to find miners.
