Li Wenxi thought for a moment and asked, "So, the alien invaders you mentioned, how many of them are there?"
"How many? Hmm..." Xu Ying pondered for a bit and said, "I'm not sure how many alien invaders are in the world now, but back in our time, the number of alien invaders residing on Earth was about... nearly a thousand."
"Nearly a thousand? Hmm... How should I put it, that's a little less than expected?" Li Wenxi tilted his head, "Didn't you say they treated Earth as a very important colony? So why only... nearly a thousand? Are they very large?"
"Large? No, no, actually, they're about the same size as humans from Earth."
"Then..."
Nearing a thousand human-sized individuals, capable of colonizing this vastly expanded planet…?
"Nearly a thousand was the count at the end of the world's collapse; initially, the ones who invaded Earth numbered only over a hundred."
