Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Please wait a moment, I have something to say."

At this moment, Xu Jiajia spoke to one of the machines:

“We can leave, but the annihilation that all of humanity is facing now will likely not be spared, even by you in the end.”

"You'd better leave as soon as possible. We've heard this kind of talk far too many times. Everyone who comes to our territory spreads these alarmist rumors, all they want is to get us to cooperate with our surface forces..."

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the voice came through the loudspeaker again.

“Honey, I think we should leave now. These people still can’t even understand the crisis facing Earth, so what’s the point of continuing to communicate with them? If we keep playing around, they might mistake us for someone trying to invade. Let’s go.”

Jiang Chuan waved his hand dismissively; he loathed this kind of situation. He had come specifically hoping to build a good relationship, but the other party treated him with such an attitude.

Just as Xu Jiajia was about to turn and leave, the surrounding crowd quickly stopped them.

"Please explain clearly, what exactly happened?"

At the critical moment, Xu Jiajia simply smiled.

“Don’t you think we’re a nuisance? Then why should I tell you the truth? My husband is right, and I’m not used to being ignored.”

Left with no other option, the other party's attitude finally began to change.

"I'm sorry, perhaps our impression of humans is flawed. But the current situation is indeed special, because we have been deceived quite a few times before."

They were then led to a place that resembled a palace. Several uniformed personnel approached them.

"You can take off your masks now. We use oxygen here as well, and the concentration is basically the same as on the ground."

In that case, the couple removed their equipment, but out of caution, they still carried it with them.

However, this time Jiang Chuan did not elaborate, but instead handed a photocopy of the document to one of the responsible persons.

“I think you should take a look at this document before we have a formal exchange. It is a partial record of my recent conversations with several prophets. Although I am not entirely clear on the specifics, we only learned that you live underground after we arrived in Rock Town.”

After reading the contents, those people's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately invited them into the most central area of ​​the palace.

"I'm really sorry, there were just too many scammers before. Some tried to steal our technology, and some tried to defraud us of our money, which made us hesitant to trust strangers."

But at this moment they appeared extremely serious.

"What exactly do you mean by the spatial overlap crisis you're talking about?"

Jiang Chuan had no choice but to recount everything he knew from beginning to end, leaving everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment. They understood that if their home, on which they depended for survival, were to disappear in this way, no amount of effort would be able to prevent their doom.

"Moreover, according to my family's prophecy, there is something even more terrifying—time distortion may occur. If this is the case, with both time and space in disarray, we will eventually sink deeper and deeper into ruin, do you understand?"

Xu Jiajia's words immediately caught the attention of the person in charge.

"Wait a minute, your surname is Xu, right?"

The person in charge appeared very nervous.

"Is there a problem?" "We have an ancient prophecy that says a woman surnamed Xu will come to us before the end of the world, and that she is said to come from a prominent family. Could it be you?"

Upon hearing this, the couple were greatly surprised.

"Wait a minute, you also have prophecies?"

"What world is without prophecy? We are also aware of your Tai Chi and Bagua, and we understand the predicament your surface civilization faces. But the key lies in how we respond. I think you should understand that the threat is escalating, and if it cannot be completely resolved, our situation will only become more difficult."

The severity of the situation shocked everyone. If it were delayed any longer, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We have sensed the approaching danger, which is precisely why we are eager to work with you."

Furthermore, they also have some understanding of the current state of the land.

"Actually, some prophets on the surface are also frauds, but the ones you've come into contact with seem to be genuine prophets. If that's the case, then our goals are completely aligned."

However, these technologically advanced groups, while researching potential problems, have reached a major impasse.

"Frankly speaking, our technological level should be ahead of yours, but the biggest problem is that we may be able to avoid some space disasters, but once space overlap is involved, it means that space distortion and time distortion work together - in this respect, we have no academic accumulation so far."

"well!".
Xu Jiajia shook her head at this moment.

"This is exactly the crisis we are facing, and we don't know how to deal with it either. In any case, everyone must pull themselves together and proceed step by step. This is a valuable opportunity for us. Although we understand that we need to consider many factors when facing these problems, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, understand?"

Xu Jiajia knew very well that the primary task was to encourage everyone to seize the time and move forward.

"Actually, we came here today only to investigate whether anyone lives here. We didn't expect to encounter so many twists and turns, so we only brought some basic information."

However, the person in charge just smiled.

“From now on, I will only recognize you two, husband and wife. As for other representatives of human society, we will not recognize them unless a joint delegation can be formed, and you must vouch for it.”

Jiang Chuan immediately realized that these people had been seriously deceived, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a decision.

"Okay! I promise you."

The initial, brief meeting ended there. When they returned to the surface and relayed the situation to everyone, they were all shocked.

Therefore, it seems necessary to establish direct contact with subterranean humans, but at present, humans do not appear to be psychologically prepared.

"Could we invite them to come here for discussions?"

"The chances are slim. These people are deeply wary. It would be best if we could be the link to resolve the issue, but I fear we'll ultimately achieve nothing. Have you forgotten how you treated these humans before?"

Although Jiang Chuan was unaware of many specific details, this possibility was clearly becoming increasingly apparent. If the group did not act according to the other party's demands, the final outcome would likely be irreversible.

Moreover, Xu Jiajia vaguely sensed that a crisis on the surface might have already quietly emerged, otherwise why would the subterranean humans turn pale at the mention of a crisis?

Another puzzling point is that these subterranean humans possess superpowers, so why did so many humans leave Earth in the past? This explanation clearly defies common sense, but it's also impossible for everyone to have migrated underground, as underground space is not vast. (End of Chapter)
