"As the first humans to take root on this planet, the first survivors are basically in their seventies or eighties now, and almost all of them are people of high status there. Ordinary people really can't come into contact with them."
"But according to the rumors she heard, the experiences of the first batch of survivors were extremely brutal, much more brutal than those of the second, third, and fourth batches, and the mortality rate was also ridiculously high. Those who survived the first batch were the best of the best, chosen from among millions."
"But because so many people died, it's said that the intelligent beings who sent us to this world were very dissatisfied. As a result, the difficulty of the activities experienced by the second, third, and fourth groups of survivors was greatly reduced, and the number of survivors also increased significantly."
"No. 228 also said that the survivors who followed her should be grateful for the sacrifices and dedication of the first survivors. Otherwise, she would have died in the survival selection."
In other words, the survival difficulty of the first batch is very high, while the difficulty decreases for the second, third and fourth batches.
By the time it came to their fifth batch, the difficulty had increased again.
...It may even be more difficult than the first batch.
"Isn't the woman you talked to one of the first survivors?" Xu Xin asked.
"Well, she did, but No. 228 also said that the supervisor was the only survivor from the first batch she had ever seen, and she only saw him after arriving at the World Tree. Before that, she even thought that the first batch of survivors had all died."
"...Before that?" Xu Xin asked the question that had been on his mind for a while. "What were the survivors in that tree you visited doing before they arrived at that giant tree?"
"They have their own city." Shi Wanyun's expression softened.
"...? A human city?"
"Yes," Shi Wanyun nodded gently, her voice becoming softer than before. "These surviving survivors, starting from the first group, have been building their own cities. That is what I just said, the area where humans gather."
Humans, have they also built cities on the ground?
"A city managed by humans themselves?" he asked doubtfully.
"Yes, that's right. It's a city managed by humans themselves." Shi Wanyun responded, "It's almost the same as our world. It's a city managed by humans themselves."
"However, leaving the city is not allowed. Humans are only allowed to move around in that area. There are swarms of mutant creatures outside the city. The lowest level is intermediate, and there are a lot of high-level mutants. Those mutant creatures will not attack human gatherings, but once someone steps out of the activity area, they will be slaughtered by the beasts."
This was something Xu Xin had not expected.
Back then in the Crystal Palace, Xu Xin in the image had told him that after the Earth was invaded, the humans who were selected and survived were nothing more than slaves of the alien invaders.
How could they allow a group of slaves to build a city and govern themselves?
Is that still called a slave?
But now, this kind of thing actually happened.
In addition to the human base below the ground, there is actually a human city above the ground!
why is that?
Keeping humans in captivity?
Or is it that the alien invaders have a change of heart and want to give humans a living space?
"As long as the first few groups of survivors survive, they will be concentrated in that city."
"The city is rich in resources, and apart from occasional labor, there is no pressure to live. The humans living in the city give birth to generation after generation of newborns."
"According to what No. 228 told me, the human population in their city has exceeded two million. That city is the first city built by humans in this world."
Xu Xin raised his eyebrows.
That’s quite a lot.
A city with a population of more than two million would be considered a relatively large city even on Earth thousands of years ago.
In ancient times, the capitals of dynasties had populations of only a few hundred thousand. A conservative estimate of the population of Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty was no more than one million.
And on this Earth that has been invaded a thousand years later, in addition to the underground human base, there is actually such a prosperous city!
But, that's what I think.
Since the death rate of the second, third and fourth batches was not high, there may indeed be a lot of humans left.
And, most importantly, if the previous groups of survivors were the same age as theirs, it would be extremely easy for them to reproduce.
They are all young people between the ages of 18 and 30. They have extraordinary energy in this regard. After their lives are no longer in danger, they can even give birth to the next generation within a year, causing the population to explode.
……etc.
Could it be that this is the reason why all the survivors are people of this age group?
Is it just to make them reproduce quickly and give birth to more humans?
"No. 228 also said that it's been nearly fifty years since the first survivors arrived in this world. Those people are already in their seventies or eighties, and many of them have become great-grandparents, with four generations living under the same roof."
"Although she hasn't seen many of the first survivors, she has come into contact with their descendants. There are several great-grandsons and great-granddaughters of the first survivors living on that World Tree."
When Shi Wanyun spoke, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her voice became much softer.
She seemed to have a good impression of this city, and even said that she was a little longing for life in that city.
Xu Xin lowered his eyes slightly.
really……
She didn't know the actual situation of this world yet and thought it was another planet, or even another world.
