Xu Ying took a look at the crystal clear stream.
"The news came from those fanatical believers who even considered water to be extremely unclean. They considered the need for water intake to be a sign of the low level of life on Earth."
Alien invaders don't need water...
"But alien invaders are still living beings after all. They must need some essential substances to sustain their lives, right?"
Xu Xin pondered for a moment.
Life is life after all. If the common water resources on the earth are not necessary for their lives, then what do they really need?
"We don't know about that." Xu Ying shook her head.
"We thought about this at the time. If this substance is scarce on Earth, then it would be like finding their weakness. But... in the end, we didn't get anything out of it."
"Also, it's still unknown whether it's true that alien invaders don't need water. Of course, this information also affects our decision-making."
"We established our underground human base beneath the sea, in part because of this somewhat illusory information. If they truly hated water, they wouldn't have gone near the sea."
Is there such a reason?
"Perhaps this is why they haven't targeted marine life and resources yet," Xu Xin speculated. "After all, if a species capable of roaming the vast seas weren't afraid of water, would it really be impossible for them to conquer the ocean?"
"Your idea... makes sense." Xu Ying tilted her head and thought about it.
The two left the stream, and the explorers also knew that Xu Xin and the others had returned, and they all came to look for them.
Everyone entered the tree house used for meetings again.
After Xu Xin told everyone the information they had obtained during this trip, everyone fell into deep thought.
"It seems...the other party is really helpless against our World Tree." Ji Chaoyang said, "They seem to be considering defeating us from within."
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded, "They can't control the World Tree, so
They want to enter the World Tree and kill us all. Once we die, the World Tree will no longer pose a threat."
"Yingying, will the World Tree wither with the death of its master?" Li Wenxi, who was sitting next to Xu Xin, asked Xu Ying.
"No." Xu Ying shook her head. "The World Tree isn't as fragile as the tree house. When the owner dies, the World Tree becomes ownerless and open. It's said that it can be controlled again in some way, but I'm not sure what the specific method is."
"Just like you said, is it like that ownerless world tree that you can teleport into at will?" Wen Guixin leaned back on the sofa, frowning, "Doesn't that mean you can just come and go as you please? If you die... I say, why don't you and Xu Xin stop running around all the time? What if something happens outside..."
"There's just one more thing to do. Next, I'll go to the underground world and bring up everything that needs to be brought up."
As she spoke, Xu Ying glanced at Zeng Tao, who was drowsy and trembling. "After that, our weapons factory will be able to start operating at full capacity. When that happens, the survivors will be needed to show their skills, especially you, Zeng Tao."
"Hmm...!?" Zeng Tao opened her eyes wide, "I...? Oh, okay..."
After she finished speaking, her eyelids began to tremble again.
At this time, Qi Xuefei explained, "Because it has been daytime in the World Tree for a long time, and everyone is busy, eating when hungry and sleeping when tired, everyone's schedule has been a bit messed up. Zeng Tao should be sleeping by now."
"...Well...my schedule...isn't messed up! It should be evening now..." Zeng Tao struggled to open her eyes, then pointed at her watch, "I'm so sleepy...let me sleep..."
As she said that, she fell onto the sofa, making the whole sofa creak.
Xu Xin also seemed to be slightly surprised.
No wonder he didn't see many people along the way except for the initial group of people.
So now is the normal time to go to bed!
The inside of the World Tree was still bright, just like the outside world, and he had completely forgotten about this matter.
"So, shouldn't we also regulate the time inside the World Tree?" Wang Lei hadn't said much, perhaps because he was a little sleepy. "Won't there be problems if everyone's schedules are so messed up?"
"I haven't paid much attention to this during this period of time due to the construction." Ji Chaoyang glanced out the window, "It seems that we really need to standardize the time. Otherwise, the weapons factory will still be like this when it starts operating, and the efficiency will be low. Only by standardizing the time can we better run it around the clock, seamlessly connect it, and operate it all day long."
Only when people working the night shift take over from those working the day shift can we achieve maximum efficiency and work around the clock.
"Wow, it's a capitalist..." Zeng Tao opened her eyes and closed them again.
"Haha, I'm doing this for everyone's good." Ji Chaoyang said helplessly, "They don't need me to supervise them. They're too hard on themselves right now. If I don't regulate them, they'll get excited and it's normal for them to work twenty or thirty hours without a break."
"Hmm... Judging from the state of those people we just met, that's indeed the case. But why?" Xu Ying was completely confused. "Now that there is so much time in the World Tree, and it is so safe and leisurely, why are they working so hard?"
"Maybe they've had enough free time in the last half month." Qin Yunlong laughed. "After you gave us so many blueprints, they all went crazy, building around like crazy."
