once?
A powerful person?
Wang Lan and Sun Muchen immediately thought of the three pieces of clothing in the basement.
Wang Lan asked directly, "The person you mentioned who is much stronger than us, is it the secret room behind the waterfall, is it there?"
"Yes…"
The tree said, "It is that secret room. However, I don't know much about them, but I have seen them fight to save humanity. It's just that... there are too few people supporting them. Fighting alone will not end well, even if they are doing the right thing."
"I saw them die in the mouths of animals, their bodies torn to pieces, and I can still vividly recall the despair in their eyes..."
"Much stronger than us..."
Wang Lan muttered this to himself thoughtfully, then continued, "It's so contradictory. Apart from monsters like pythons, the animals we've encountered, while ferocious, aren't helpless against. Since those people are much stronger than us... how come they have no way to deal with us?"
Sun Muchen, also curious, asked strangely, "Could it be that the mutated animals have degenerated in the past two years?"
“No,” the tree immediately denied, “as long as the source is not destroyed, this process will not stop, nor will it be reversed; it can only slow down the pace of this process.”
"Could it be that it's lost its mind?" Wang Lan then turned to Sun Muchen and said, "After all, it's a tree that's hundreds of years old. Besides, it's not certain whether this big tree has a mind at all. Maybe it's just misremembering, or maybe it's just a mistake."
"Hey!" Sun Muchen suddenly realized, "Brother, what you said makes sense!"
“Right?” Seeing Sun Muchen’s support, Wang Lan became even more convinced of the idea and nodded repeatedly.
The tree said impatiently, "You two little brats, what are you guessing for!"
“Although I don’t have a brain like you animals, I do have an independent consciousness and the ability to think. You have never seen the world before, and you have lived a precarious existence in survivor tribes since childhood. Your experience is limited, so you rely entirely on what you have seen and heard to make inferences. How could you possibly understand what happened before?”
At this point, Tree sighed and continued, "Humans, no matter what, always have an inexplicable confidence in themselves. It's a flaw ingrained in their very bones. You two have long hair, but your knowledge is pitifully short."
"Huh?"
Wang Lan was displeased when she heard it say that. "It's fine that our hair is long, after all, we haven't had a haircut in a while, but to say that we're short-sighted is going too far!"
"Isn't that so?" Tree countered. "Besides knowing that the so-called mutation brought about earth-shattering changes, what else do you know?"
"I don't know."
Wang Lan gave a straightforward answer.
Sun Muchen never expected him to be so candid.
The tree said, "I remember, it was the calendar you humans established, the year 2048. A meteorite from outer space fell on Earth, but this meteorite's descent was different from the usual one. When ordinary objects break through Earth's atmosphere, they rub against the atmosphere and burn violently, releasing raging flames. But this meteorite produced blue flames and left a long trail of flame, like a blue light!"
Blue light?!
Upon hearing this, the brother and sister were immediately stunned.
Sun Muchen looked at Wang Lan.
Wang Lan also looked at Sun Muchen.
Shu's words reminded the two of the scene that Wang Lan saw after exiting the C system, which appeared after a period of chaos.
It was also a beam of blue light.
The analogy is strangely similar to that of trees.
Then Shu continued, "But the blue light didn't land on land. I don't know if this was a momentary stroke of luck or a fundamental misfortune. The blue light landed in the sea, causing a very powerful impact. The calm sea surface was immediately disturbed by the blue light, and the powerful impact directly caused a huge tsunami. Water walls hundreds or even thousands of meters high appeared from the point of impact and spread outwards."
Wang Lan frowned as she listened.
The description of the tree was becoming more and more like the image he had seen in the C system.
Wang Lan even had a strange feeling that the scene in the C system was exactly what the tree described as a meteorite falling!
"Perhaps the impact was too great, so the tsunami was also very fast and its destructive power was almost devastating. Some land near the sea was directly swallowed up, especially an island that looked like a worm and a landmass that looked like a vest, which were wiped out in the tsunami."
An island shaped like an insect?
Land that looks like a vest?
The brother and sister were completely confused, but they didn't question the tree's description. After all, the tree had lived for so long; its intelligence and mental capacity were certainly not lacking. However…
What kind of people would live in these two bizarre places?
The two brothers were completely baffled.
The tree then continued speaking.
"The appearance of this meteorite caused the sea level to rise directly, and some coastal areas were directly swallowed by the raging tsunami. The cries of human beings were drowned in the sea, and they became the restless souls underwater."
"At the same time, the impact of the meteorite caused a large amount of seawater to evaporate. The water vapor, carrying the silt from the seabed, rose into the sky, forming extremely hot dark clouds that blocked out the sun and gradually spread to the entire planet. After that, it started to rain, and the entire planet became hot and humid, like a giant petri dish."
