Otherwise, the last branch of human beings would not have been born in the past thousand years and has not been discovered yet.
Xu Xin guessed correctly. Li Wenxi's current location was exactly where the surviving humans were.
When talking in the tree house, Xu Ying had already told Li Wenxi the truth about this world. Now Li Wenxi already knew that this was the Earth a thousand years later, and also knew their current situation.
The city's development has been smooth.
When the city was first choosing its location, it was chosen in a location with abundant resources.
Rich mineral and oil resources brought in many different kinds of bred animals, and cultivable grain and oil crops.
Growing rapidly under the illumination of the crystal dome, this underground city was full of vitality at that time.
Relying on abundant resources, over the past thousand years, the population of the underground city has doubled every hundred years from the initial 100,000 people.
Today, there are hundreds of millions of people.
Li Wenxi was stunned when he heard this number.
While she was still shocked by the news that this was a world where humans had become extinct thousands of years later, Xu Ying told her that there was a human branch underground with a population of over 100 million!
This can no longer be called a branch. You have to know that until the Song Dynasty, China had never had a population of over 100 million! This can be said to be a very prosperous civilization!
She really didn't expect that a branch of humanity that was struggling underground could develop to this extent!
But on second thought, after thousands of years, with abundant resources and no invasion detected, it would be abnormal not to develop.
Of course, the technological gap also greatly restricts development. At least a thousand years have passed, and she has not felt that the technology in this underground world is much more advanced than her time.
It's basically the same as it was a thousand years ago.
However, a large population is a huge burden.
Xu Ying told her that the resources of this underground human world were almost exhausted, and the population of hundreds of millions was consuming resources too quickly.
The crystal blocks on the dome that emitted a bright white light have now basically exhausted their energy and are much dimmer than they were in the past.
The consequence is that not only will the growth rate of crops be greatly slowed down, but the crystal blocks themselves will probably not last for many more years and will definitely become completely dim within a hundred years.
In other words, if this group of humans does not return to the ground, they will be extinct within a hundred years!
The few upper-class humans who knew the secrets of this world began racking their brains to think of ways to return to the ground.
But now that resources have been exhausted, even returning to the ground is almost impossible, not to mention the almost irresistible dangers once going up.
Of course, bringing Li Wenxi here was just Xu Ying's own idea.
Li Wenxi is able to discover metal mineral resources, and her arrival can relieve the current pressure.
"Because of my special status! Actually, I'm not familiar with the people here, but they should listen to what I say." Xu Ying raised her lips with some pride and said, "Sister-in-law, you definitely don't know what I represent here!"
"Your identity is indeed different..." Li Wenxi had now set his sights on the most conspicuous landmark in the entire city.
The strangest thing in the entire city wasn't the crystal roof that could be seen just by looking up, illuminating the entire area like daylight, but...
In the center of the city, there are two giant statues that are as tall as the surrounding high-rise buildings!
"Why are those two statues outside of here really statues of you and Xu Xin?" Li Wenxi pointed at them and turned back in surprise. "I only saw them after you left. What's going on? Why would this city erect statues of you and Xu Xin?"
"Ah, this..." Xu Ying looked at the statue, her expression softening slightly before her eyes dimmed slightly. She shook her head and said, "This is a long story."
