Li Wenxi knew that there was a battle going on on the ground, and she wanted to go back to help Xu Xin and the others.

"Go back..." Xu Ying hesitated.

"Since this place has been exposed, we don't have to be so cautious and afraid of being discovered below, right?" Li Wenxi turned the watch on his wrist.

This watch has completely lost its ability to communicate since it came down.

"Well... having said that, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter." Xu Ying frowned and thought.

"Strange? You mean..."

"I suspect that the human strongholds in the underground world have not been fully discovered."

"...Huh?" Li Wenxi was a little confused. "What do you mean? Not completely discovered? You mean, they only found part of the human underground base? That's unlikely. Isn't the human base a connected whole? Besides, this is the very center of the human base, isn't it? You found those mutant humans here, so doesn't that mean..."

Doesn’t that mean that the underground human base has been completely explored?

"Ah, that's not what I meant by not being fully discovered." Xu Ying waved her hand quickly. "I meant that the fact that there is a base of human survivors in the underground world has not been widely spread among the alien invaders, so that they all know about it."

"...I don't quite understand..." Li Wenxi was a little bewildered. "Why do you feel that way?"

"Well, it's normal that you don't understand. After all, you don't know the attitude of those alien invaders towards humans." Thinking of this, Xu Ying sighed softly.

"Attitude? What do you mean?"

"Hmm..." Xu Ying tapped her lips with her index finger and gave an example, "Are you afraid of cockroaches?"

"...cockroach?" Li Wenxi blinked. "...a little bit."

"What if they crawl on you?"

"...That's even scarier than mutant creatures!" Li Wenxi thought about the scene, shuddered, and shook his head violently.

"Those alien invaders see us the same way." Xu Ying spread her hands and said, "Some of them even have a fear of us. They scream and call us monsters when they see us."

"...Huh?" Li Wenxi's eyes widened. "Why? We're much weaker than them, and we can't hurt them."

"Can cockroaches hurt you?"

“Ah, this…”

"So that's what I'm saying."

Xu Ying walked to the window, leaned on the windowsill and looked out.

"If the entire group knew that we had a base in the underground world, they wouldn't allow hundreds of millions of people to survive. They now regard the Earth as their backyard. Would you allow hundreds of millions of cockroaches to reproduce in your backyard?"

"Of course not. I can't stand it. What if I crawl back home?"

"That's probably what they think." Xu Ying turned and leaned against the windowsill. "If they knew there was such a huge human base in the underground world, with a population of hundreds of millions, would they just leave it alone?"

"So what you mean is that they just...some individuals discovered this place?" Li Wenxi understood Xu Ying's thoughts.

"That's what I mean." Xu Ying nodded. "One of them discovered this place, but perhaps because they were very interested in it, they didn't report it to their superiors, but instead sent people down to investigate privately."

"There's such a thing... an entomologist who likes cockroaches?" Li Wenxi said half-jokingly.

"Don't mention it, it's really possible." Xu Ying looked at her seriously and said, "Even this farce of yours as a survivor could be the work of this 'entomologist', or 'anthropologist'."

"Are you saying that the survivors' collective survival activities were also carried out privately by this 'entomologist'?" Li Wenxi asked in surprise.

"That's not the case." Xu Ying walked over to the bed and sat down. "It's impossible for it to go undetected on the ground, but it's probably a research project of it or its team, a survivor project that was implemented after convincing the other monsters. However, because they still feel disgusted by humans, the survivor project is being carried out in the other hemisphere, which is very far away from them."

"Are these all your guesses, or do you already have evidence?" Li Wenxi asked.

"Eh, even though there's no evidence, this guess is reasonable, right?" Xu Ying sighed as she lay back on the bed. "If that's true, then perhaps our situation isn't that bad after all."

"Hey, do you think this so-called 'entomologist' can communicate with us?" Li Wenxi suddenly had an idea. "Maybe it's doing this because it likes humans?"

"It's unlikely that he likes me... but I do have the idea of ​​communicating with him. Since he can tolerate the existence of hundreds of millions of humans, he should be able to tolerate communication with humans."

As she spoke, she sat up again and said, "So, don't even think about going up there now, sister-in-law. If this is the case, and you go up there and get discovered by other intruders, you'll be in real trouble."

"Well, okay, okay." Li Wenxi was a little disappointed.

Xu Ying lifted her chin, looked out the window, and muttered to herself, "What should I do? Should I go over there and investigate? No... let's look here first. If we can find those mutant humans who came down to investigate, maybe we can learn something."
