Chapter 1248: Chapter 647: Little Monster
Suddenly, Xu Xin glimpsed a small half-black head peeping out from a window.
Six or seven eyes were all blinking and observing him, curiously scrutinizing him.
Is this the life that the creature just mentioned, the one awakened?
Xu Xin’s gaze met that of the little creature.
The other wasn’t afraid and instead fully extended its head out.
"...Ying!" Keke wasn’t afraid of the little creature that was far away but instead called out to it and waved her little paw.
Xu Xin also waved at it.
The little creature first blinked all the eyes on its face, then slowly raised one arm, mimicking Xu Xin’s gesture, and waved its hand at him.
Its waving hand also had a few eyes, all open, analyzing Xu Xin with curious gazes.
"It doesn’t seem to be afraid of me," Xu Xin turned his head to the creature and said.
"Of course, the aesthetic of newly born life needs to be established." The creature responded, and the partly open eyes behind him opened.
The little creature seemed a bit scared of the creature, and upon seeing its eyes open, it immediately retracted its head.
Is the newborn calf not afraid of the tiger?
You can’t really say that.
For newly born life, its aesthetic hasn’t been fully established, so naturally, it wouldn’t find Xu Xin’s "human appearance" disgusting or terrifying, only curious.
Not to mention this little creature has half human blood.
The creature grew up among alien invaders hence it shares their aesthetic, but this little creature hasn’t been influenced yet.
It might truly not fear or loathe humans.
Unfortunately, humans now feel fear and loathing towards it, since its appearance is indistinguishable from monsters, and even Xu Xin still hasn’t fully accustomed to interacting face-to-face with the creature, let alone others accepting it.
But... although their aesthetics are nearly fixed after living for decades, their offspring do not have fixed aesthetics.
He suddenly felt, if the creature indeed creates a race similar to it, if this race is amicable in nature, then maybe...
Between the new generation of monsters and humans, perhaps a friendship can be forged.
Looking at the little creature’s features earlier, it actually resembled humans more than the creature did.
At least its skin was smoother, it had fewer eyes, and wasn’t as physiologically repulsive.
"Do you have confidence in your plan to create your race?" Xu Xin looked at the creature and asked.
"Naturally." The creature nodded, its eyes behind it looked at the window where the little creature poked its head out, and said, "It has reached the final stage, and within a year, the results should be seen."
"World tree outside time?"
"World tree inside time."
"That really is fast."
His earlier thoughts about racial interaction seemed far-fetched, impractical, but it’s actually right in front of him.
Given their age, spawning the next generation is quite easy.
Especially in this seemingly stable world tree, the survivors have leisurely spent several months.
There have even been accidental pregnancies.
Considering their age, settling down, they naturally may engage with intensity.
And now, another head poked out from the tree house’s window.
"Oh...?"
Xu Xin seemed a bit surprised.
"Ah..."
The head merely glanced and then retracted.
It was a human head but with an unusually long neck.
And this face looked somewhat familiar to Xu Xin.
It’s the neck-stretching monster woman seen in Shi Wanyun’s memory.
"Have you finally released them?"
The creature came with its genetically mutated human subordinates.
After all, it needed to conduct experiments, these mutated humans being its human gene source.
It stated it wouldn’t harm the survivors within the world tree or humans in the underground world because it now horded these as raw materials.
"Not all released, only some thirty-odd to assist in experimentation."
"...Only so few released? You have at least a thousand at hand, right?"
Thousands, but these are thoroughly selected survivors, a quite large group.
Xu Xin and others haven’t demanded the liberation of these mutated humans because their numbers exceed even those of normal people within the world tree.
Furthermore, these mutants have a pathological worship towards the creature, even towards alien invaders.
This factor is too unstable for the current situation.
Therefore, they first allowed the creature to continue experimenting with these people; of course, it assured them they wouldn’t be harmed.
"You must be worried." The creature spread its grotesque arms longer than its legs, "Those humans have gone through genetic mutation, possessing strong abilities, although where I live is some distance from your residence, it’s very easy for some of them to come over."
This way...
Indeed, at this stage, they cannot be set free.
This is indeed a bit dangerous.
The group has been brainwashed, unpredictable in their actions.
Must wait until they can fully address this issue before considering their release.
"You sure think for us," Xu Xin smiled and shook his head.
