Xu Xin saw a stream of water flowing through this tunnel, forming an underground river.
Because of the wind, he did not hear the sound of flowing water below. He only discovered the situation when he turned on the flashlight.
And there are various creatures beside this underground river.
These creatures look like insects, but their bodies are as huge as tigers. Seeing them in this dark underground space makes people feel a little creepy.
"So there are giant insects living here. But these insects..."
Huihui was very fast and every insect disappeared in the blink of an eye, but Xu Xin still managed to capture the appearance of a few insects.
It was completely different from the giant insects he had encountered before.
He was basically familiar with the giant insects before. Most of them were just insects he was familiar with before that had become very big. But the giant insects here were indeed strange in shape and even a little scary.
"This should be an ecosystem," Xu Xin said. He then looked at Lao Yang and asked, "Have you never encountered a situation like this while traveling through the underground world? Encountering a giant beast and then having your aircraft destroyed?"
Old Yang shook his head. “Of course I’ve encountered giant beasts before. The underground world is full of giant beasts. But I’ve definitely never encountered one around here.”
He also looked down, surprised. "I never thought there would be giant beasts living here. This place is only about 500 to 600 kilometers away from the alien invaders' headquarters, right? Experiments are never allowed here. They can't be artificially released here. Perhaps they migrated here on their own? I can't believe the giant beasts of the underground world have expanded here..."
Thinking about what happened just now, Lao Yang couldn't help but feel a little sad. He said to himself, "I really haven't experienced such an exciting thing in hundreds of years."
"That's nothing." Xu Xin turned to look at Lao Yang and smiled, "What we're going to do next is much more exciting than this."
"That's what you'll be doing next, not me." Old Yang put away the gun he was still holding and said with a wry smile, "I'm old now, I can't afford to be so tiring. Just leading you is enough to make me nervous."
"...He's over a thousand years old, but his body is still much stronger than mine." Xu Xin said with a slight twitch of his mouth when he heard this.
"Better than you? Haha, that's just an appearance."
Old Yang turned around once more, making sure there were no more giant bats chasing him. Then he relaxed and said, "I don't have many years left to live. Do you really think we can live forever?"
Xu Xin's eyelids jumped: "What do you mean?"
"The alien invaders do have some very exaggerated longevity drugs, but... do you think they can let us humans take that kind of drugs?" Old Yang looked at Xu Xin and said.
ah……
Xu Xin couldn't help but glance at Lao Yang.
Yes, if such a drug really exists, how could it be used on humans?
Xu Xin and his team had indeed been injected with a genetic drug that could almost make them immortal, but that drug was not given by alien invaders, but was developed by an organization in another time and space.
Now that I think about it, the prerequisite technology for this drug should also have been given to their organization by the monster, right?
But Lao Yang is not so lucky. The survivors in this time and space do not have any organization that is researching the elixir of immortality.
"We live longer than ordinary people and don't appear to age because of the mutation of our blood lines."
Old Yang pulled down his high collar, revealing the bloodstains on his neck.
There were no blood streaks on his face, but there were some on his neck, similar to Lou Feier's situation before.
"The bloodline mutation has altered some of our genes, giving us a longer lifespan, but life eventually comes to an end. For example, my time will soon be up," Old Yang sighed. "The average age for a bloodline human to die is probably around a thousand years old."
"you……"
Xu Xin opened his mouth. He didn't expect that Lao Yang was about to die?
"How much time do you have left?"
Old Yang sighed again: "Probably, there are only less than a hundred years left."
Xu Xin: “? How much?”
"In less than a hundred years, I'll be dead." Old Yang's expression was filled with melancholy. "The fact that we're nearing the end of our lifespan is a very important reason why we chose to help you. Since I'm going to die soon anyway, we might as well give it a try to help you."
He then smiled and said, "To be honest, if you had come a few hundred years earlier, we probably wouldn't have been able to help you."
Xu Xin: "I..."
He didn't know where to start complaining.
I only have a hundred years left to live. Is this considered approaching my end? Or is this considered approaching death?
My goodness, if ordinary humans could live to be a hundred years old, they would become centenarians who could be worshipped, and could have five generations living under the same roof!
The other person's tone and expression were so melancholy, he thought Old Yang only had a few years left to live...
"...According to what you said, ordinary people are almost buried as soon as they are born."
Xu Xin couldn't help but complain.
"Huh? Ah..." Old Yang was slightly startled, then smiled sheepishly, "Your view of life span may be different from ours. I've lived for thousands of years, so a hundred years doesn't seem long to me.
Let me think about it… It’s like an eighty-year-old man. Even if he can live for another ten years, he will feel that he is dying every day. I am in the same state now.”
If explained this way, it seems to be the case.
"Then we are really lucky to find you when you are 'on your deathbed'." Xu Xin said unhappily.
