…

"...Do you know about this?" Xu Xin turned to look at Xu Ying, whose expression was a little dazed, and then shook his head.

She didn't need to answer, just looking at her expression, you could tell she had no idea about this.

"...I don't know about this, but

……No wonder……"

Xu Ying muttered to herself.

"During the first few years, we, the survivors, experienced a significant number of disappearances and deaths. The cause was unknown. Of course, we all thought they were captured by alien invaders and used for experiments. But we never expected..."

I didn’t expect that I actually guessed it right.

"What happened later? Was it only the first few years?" Wen Guixin asked.

"Later... later most people were brainwashed. So that's how it is..." Xu Ying bit her lip lightly, "It turns out they were studying our human brains..."

"It's like this." The monster continued.

…

The more we study the human brain on Earth, the more terrified alien invaders will be.

If the human brain on Earth could unleash its full potential, it would be truly terrifying!

They are so eager for it!

Their original plan was to take some "experimental subjects" away from this terrifying planet covered with water and return to their home planet where survival resources were relatively abundant for research.

But unexpectedly, they discovered a substance on this planet that was beyond their imagination and made them extremely excited.

A special crystal!

It was also this crystal that made them, who originally did not want to colonize this terrifying planet, endure the discomfort and stay.

…

"...What use is this crystal mine to you?" Xu Ying interrupted and asked.

She knew that the alien invaders had been mining crystal mines all the time. In the initial period, they even mined crystal mines almost crazily. At that time, all the survivors were forced to work as miners, mining day and night.

Many people even died of exhaustion.

"This is the most important part of what I want to tell you this time. But first, let me finish talking about my own situation."

The monster's tone became much faster, but still a little halting.

"good."

…

Although they stayed for the crystal mines, the biological scientists among the alien invaders did not give up studying the brains of humans on Earth.

They are still conducting intensive research on the human brain.

Their fear of humans on Earth is innate, so the first thing they did in their research was to brainwash this group of survivors.

At the same time, they also don't want the Earth's human population to become overpopulated again. The horrifying birth rate of Earth's human population is also one of the sources of their inner fear.

As a result, they affected the reproductive capacity of these survivors.

…

"Reproductive ability?" Wen Guixin opened her mouth wide enough to fit an egg in it, looking at Xu Ying with a strange expression, "Have you been... sterilized?"

"What?" Xu Ying glared at Wen Guixin. "How could such a thing happen? I didn't even know!"

Then she paused in thought, "But... I see. Our chances of having offspring are indeed very low. I thought it was because the alien invaders had banned reproduction, or maybe everyone was just like us and simply didn't have the time to have children... So it's simply prevented from happening physiologically... through food?"

"Food." The monster nodded.

"No wonder the fertility rate is so low..." Xu Ying murmured.

Xu Xin also seemed to be slightly surprised.

The reason why the man who came to Area 1 to look for Shi Wanyun showed up less than a day after his son disappeared might be because of this reason.

The fertility of this group of survivors has been affected, and it is very difficult for them to have offspring, so he is so worried about his son.

For example, we would contact each other every night, but this time I couldn’t get in touch with him, so I came here out of worry.

The monster continued to speak.

…

The alien invaders' craze for the human brain doesn't stop there.

They want to integrate the genes that make humans so smart into

To their population!

If they could possess such a brain, and fully develop it...

The benefits to their populations are simply unimaginable!

Their first step is to try to fuse the two genes into one organism.

Thus, an experimental plan to create half-human, half-monster creatures was born, and it received strong support from the leader of the entire invading legion, who even offered his own genes.

After a period of research, their technology gradually matured.

But they failed every time. It is too difficult to merge two completely different genes into one species.

Later they discovered a way to increase their success rate.

Humans are mammals. Only by growing and being born in the mother's womb can we have the healthiest body and the most complete lifespan. Therefore, we need a mother body on Earth to give birth to our offspring... the human womb.

During that period, a large number of female survivors began to disappear.

…

"Finally, I was born."

The monster said.

"And my mother was sent back. Among the survivors, she was considered a hero, but her appearance made them unacceptable, so she was sent back. Moreover, if the plan is restarted, she may be needed."

"So that's how it is..." Xu Ying sighed.

Then she turned to look at Wen Guixin who was thinking beside her.

The monster also turned its head and opened the two eyes on its face to look at Wen Guixin.

Wen Guixin saw Xu Ying and the monster looking at her, and suddenly woke up from her thoughts and was a little confused: "What? What are you looking at me for?"

"Sister Gui Xin, actually..." Xu Ying hesitated for a moment, finding it difficult to speak.

At this moment, the monster's mouth opened again: "Do you know why I wanted to cooperate with your team in that time and space?"

Xu Xin's eyelids twitched twice, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he slowly turned his head to look at Wen Guixin beside him.

Shi Wanyun took a breath and her throat rolled.

Wen Guixin's eyes were dull.

"Wh...what do you mean? W...what do you mean?!"
