At this time, Xu Xin was discussing something with Ji Chaoyang under the World Tree.

He met Ji Chaoyang on his way back, and neither of them returned to the tree house. Instead, they observed the situation in the sky outside the city and discussed what they should do next.

Although the Crystal City was still brightly illuminated by the white light, the sky outside the city had turned completely dark. The stars that were originally all over the sky appeared extremely dim against the backdrop of this bright white light, and few of them could be seen.

"I've been to the outskirts of Crystal City to see those mutant creatures. There are indeed a lot of them, but... their level can only be described as average." Ji Chaoyang was not very satisfied with the strength of the mutant creatures on the outskirts, and said helplessly, "Judging from their current abilities, the negative impact they bring to our Crystal City may far outweigh the positive impact."

Do the negative impacts far outweigh the positive ones?

Xu Xin could understand Ji Chaoyang's point of view.

Although the number of intermediate mutant creatures in this beast tide has indeed increased, but... they are basically just mutant creatures that have just been promoted to intermediate level.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. They are just the first batch of beasts to besiege the World Tree. Naturally, the first batch of beasts cannot use the king bomb.

I think the mission of this group of mutant creatures should just be to test the effectiveness of this strange crystal city. It would be even better if they can damage the World Tree on this basis.

They certainly didn't cause any harm to the World Tree, but perhaps their mission was accomplished.

Therefore, the individual strength of this group of mutant creatures is naturally not very strong, but their number is very large.

What Crystal City captured was only a small part of it.

Moreover, to be honest, the giant beast bloodlines of these mutant creatures are not very strong. It is just the normal concentration of wild beasts in this world. Basically, it is not as concentrated as that of Silver King Mimi, and may even be lower than that of Ah Fu.

Judging from their strength, if we want them to form the first line of defense outside Crystal City, I'm afraid the effect will not be very good.

After all, Crystal City can basically defend against anything they can.

Crystal City couldn't stop attacks like those from mutant beasts, the pterosaurs, or high-tech weapons...

A book-reading app recommended to me by a book friend of ten years, Huanyuan App! It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time reading aloud and listening to books while driving or before bed. You can download it here.

In the face of these, can they really play any role?

It feels so suspenseful...

"That's exactly what I thought." Ji Chaoyang sighed. "I always feel like their role is just icing on the cake, but I'm afraid their presence here will cause us a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, he looked towards the periphery: "I just went to the periphery with one of my survivors. Some mutant creatures have already woken up in the periphery, but..."

Xu Xin's eyelids jumped: "You mean... they are not friendly to survivors?"

"Yes and no." Ji Chaoyang pointed at himself. "They were very friendly to me and even came up to me to show their friendship. But they acted strangely and hostile to the person I brought with me."

...There is actually such a situation!

"This is a big problem." Xu Xin frowned.

At that time, he was surrounded by Lou Feier, Jin Yue, Wen Guixin, and a Coco. The affected mutant creatures did not show any hostility, and their inner monologues were all friendly.

This situation made him assume that these mutant creatures influenced by the image of Crystal City would be friendly to them, the survivors.

Or maybe they will be friendly to the survivors whose tree houses have been transplanted into the Crystal City.

But judging from what Ji Chaoyang said...

"It's indeed a big problem." Ji Chaoyang said in a deep voice, "We will use this place as our base in the future. If there is an opportunity, more survivors will move in here, so the safety of the mutant creatures outside must be guaranteed."

"But it seems that although they haven't attacked, they haven't gotten close either. They may not pose a threat to the survivors now, but what about in the future? What if the resources in the surrounding jungle are not enough to feed these mutant creatures..."

Xu Xin nodded slowly: "Maybe they won't attack us, but the safety of others..."

"That's just one point." Ji Chaoyang stretched out his second finger and said, "And the second point is that these affected mutant creatures are not just the large beasts you see."

He pointed to the west of Crystal City. "The crystal house over there... is crawling with small mutant creatures. Of course, small means smaller than the ones you see, like... rats the size of cats. They're crawling all over the house. Oh, and there are some insects too."

this……

It makes me feel a bit sick just thinking about it...

"Most survivors still cannot accept this kind of existence."

"What do you think we should do?" Xu Xin rubbed his head in distress.

I can certainly overcome the rats and such, but the hostility issue is indeed a big problem...

Ji Chaoyang was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I don't have a good solution either."

He looked up at the World Tree. The height of the World Tree was still slowly rising, but its crown was still growing the fastest at this time.

The dense treetops were still extending in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Countless thigh-thick roots hung down from the treetops, some of which had already fallen to the ground, slightly blocking the view.

Fortunately, the distances between these roots are relatively large and do not affect normal movements. They are like street lights on the road. Although they are there, normal people will not think that the street lights are obstacles.
