Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 627 Prologue. Chapter Zero. Tenacious ⅩⅢ
"It's almost here! Everyone, be careful, it's okay, there is still a distance!"

On the rugged and towering rocks, many people carried things on their backs, and carefully climbed up according to the position of the people in front of them. Below is the abyss.

At this time, accompanied by a horrifying roar, everyone looked down subconsciously. A man fell down because of lack of energy and couldn't hold on firmly. He fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant, motionless, and was still faintly visible at the bottom of the valley. , some who fell while climbing.

Soon everyone stopped looking at the deep valley below, but tightly grasped the ropes in their hands. These ropes were climbed up by some able-bodied people and fixed on some hard rocks. A rope can only bear With the weight of up to 8 people, there are still many people waiting at the bottom of the valley. Some people who fell were immediately stripped naked by nearby people and took away all the supplies.

"What are you going to do?"

At this time, a young man looked at a few older men who carefully dragged the body of the deceased who had just fallen and walked up. An older man smiled.

"Don't worry about it!"

Many people present followed, looking greedy, and soon the corpse was taken away. The young man seemed to have guessed it, but he couldn't say anything, there was no way to do it At this time, the long man who had just been questioned turned back, took out a piece of jerky wrapped in promotional paper from his pocket, and handed it to the young man.

"Your name is Dick Hillman. Take it. You must have been hungry for a few days."

Dick swallowed, but immediately he slapped the thing in the old man's hand, the old man picked it up with a smile, and then looked around, the old man immediately put the bag of meat in Dick's arms carefully, Then help him zip up.

"It's venison!"

As the old man said, Dick's originally dignified expression relaxed. The old man smiled and took off his round hat to signal, and then walked quickly. The reason why he did this was because Dick helped him a while ago, and he almost died. If it wasn't for Dick, he would have died a long time ago. The old man is only 50 years old. Although he has encountered such a huge disaster now, the old man still wants to live.

"By the way sir, what's your name?"

At this moment Dick shouted, and the old man turned his head and said with a smile.

"My name is Suren."

Dick swallowed and turned quickly, intending to go to his exhausted wife and sister and mother. All the way, only three women in the family survived, and he was the only male who survived.

I don’t know when it started. Only by going to high places can we survive. It has become the consensus of most people. Everyone is heading towards the highest peak in the world. The average altitude is 6000 meters. There is no positioning, and we can only rely on There is only one aperture of the sun to identify the location, and some tourist maps that have been patched together.

Many people are happy at this moment, because as long as they continue to climb, they can reach the front of the Himalayas, where there are many plateau tourist facilities, and some people have even been here. The Himalayas used to be the natural borders of several countries , and the sacred mountain in the hearts of the locals, but in the end it was developed into a fixed tourist attraction.

Some of the people who have come here have even visited these scenic spots. There are a large number of camps at the foot of the mountain, densely packed and extending to the farthest point. Originally, there was a road that could lead directly up here, but now that road has disappeared. It was gone, and the road to the east had been torn by a bottomless chasm.

Most of the people have been here for nearly 2 months, most of them are fleeing from the deadly disease, they can only escape from the city, and most of the areas are completely chaotic, and the riots have lasted for several years on the entire planet. moon.

And many people prefer to come to this plateau area with harsh climate. Crops can still be grown on this plateau.

This land of hope is the place that everyone yearns for the most. After confirming the place where they can climb, everyone is eager to go up. Today is the first group of people to climb, but there are already many people. Few stumble and fall, and those who have no faith are waiting to climb up, can open a way for everyone to go up safely.

The leader of this winning area is a famous outdoor sportsman. Thanks to him, many people were able to survive some crises without any danger. This man is only 30 years old, and his name is Matthew Anger. An outdoor sportsman in Sri Lanka, he was the youngest son of a wealthy family before the disaster. Because of his love of outdoor sports, he chose to give up his family business and became an expert in outdoor sports. He also had his own live broadcast and became famous. Has a lot of fans.

"Sorry, kid!"

Su Lun glanced at Dick who was excitedly running towards his camp. What he gave Dick was not venison. Although they hunted a lot of animals as food along the way, the number of animals was far behind the humans. number, and those who die on the way will become food for others.

Su Lun is the handler in this group. He used to be a butcher, and they will distribute the food they get to some people who really can't find food.

"Mr. Matthew is almost at the top."

At this time, someone shouted, and many people looked up. At the top of the mountain, there was an orange figure, who was about to reach the top, and many people cheered. It is noon now, and the sun is abundant , Many people bask in the sun in some higher places nearby.

But looking at the land covered by darkness in the distance, many people are worried. The light is fading. This is something that everyone can see along the way. Soon everything will be covered by darkness. After discussing with several leaders, The most urgent task is to quickly reach the broad-leaved forest land in the mountains to reclaim and plant crops. This is their only chance. Before the sun disappears, crops must be cultivated.

And in this line of people, there are also planting scholars and some botanists. Everyone has reached a consensus and marched with a clear division of labor. This is the reason why tens of thousands of people here can travel long distances to the foot of the mountain.

According to a statistician's speculation, the resources in the Himalayas are enough for millions of people to survive. As long as the planting land can be reclaimed, sowing and harvesting, human beings can survive temporarily.

Although the sunlight is disappearing under the cover of clouds, artificial intervention and the establishment of fluorescent lamps can be used to supply sunlight to the farmland. Before the environment deteriorates further, a planting base belonging to the remaining human beings must be established.

Most people who were able to come here maintained their rationality, and did not go crazy with the chaos. Like many people, they snatched everything, but stayed away from the chaos.

"Jiang Ming, I'll be there soon, if you are tired, you can rest here."

A smiling, handsome young man with flaxen hair showed his white teeth against the sun. He raised a hand and kept waving it. The young man named Jiang Ming behind him nodded in satisfaction.

"Matthew, you'll be the first one up."

Matthew nodded, Jiang Ming was temporarily leaning comfortably on a rock protruding from the mountain wall, planning to take a nap, this place is enough for four or five people to sit, Matthew glanced at the third came to this small stone platform The person is a woman, she looks tired, but like Matthew, she is smiling.

"Mandy, you are still stronger!"

After the beautiful woman named Mandy came up, she untied the hair tie, and her long golden hair like water slipped down. Although she was a little tired, she still planned to move forward.

Jiang Ming looked at the two smiling at each other, and sighed helplessly.

"Looks like I've got no chance, Mandy!"

Mandy shook her hair, shaking off a lot of dust, she touched the dust on her cheeks, then opened her arms and shouted loudly.

Matthew looked a little embarrassed, he shook his head and said.

"Opportunities are equal, but."

As Matthew said, he stretched out a hand and made a gesture of respectful invitation. Mandy behind him grabbed Matthew's hand. She glanced at the rope that Matthew had already fixed, and then smiled. stand up.

"Let me come next time"

Matthew, who pulled Mandy up, immediately took her into his arms, kissed her on the face, and then said to the helpless Jiang Ming with a smile on his face.

"She already has her own heart, doesn't she!"

Mandy pouted, and was about to go up, but was held back by Matthew.

"It's not about being braver, but about being more experienced!"

Although Mandy still wants to go up, the tool for fixing the rope is still 40 meters away from the highest point of the cliff. This is a relatively gentle place compared to other places, but he can use his bare hands on such a cliff. Climbing on a cliff, it only takes one mistake, and you will fall down, and there will be no chance again.

The difficulty in front of him is nothing to a veteran like Matthew, and Matthew has also climbed with higher difficulty.

In the end Mandy compromised, but she still looked worriedly at Matthew who had already climbed over the fixed position of the rope, and he began to climb with his bare hands.

"Be careful."

Click
With the falling of the small stone, Mandy's heart was already in his throat, and Jiang Ming who was beside him also stood up, walked to Mandy's side and comforted him.

"Relax, the power of love is great. Matthew won't have any problems. After all, he only wants to spend the rest of his life with you."

Mandy nodded happily.

"Me too."

The edge of the cliff was getting closer and closer. Matthew carefully confirmed the climbing point in front of him with his hands. Although he could throw the hook up, no one knew what was going on up there. Even if the hook got stuck, it still It is not reassuring. This is a plateau, and the wind will erode the surface of the rocks. Many rocks look solid, but they are actually very fragile.

Matthew kept picking some loose rocks with his hands, and a large number of small stones rolled down. It was getting closer and closer, less than 20 meters away, and Matthew became more careful.

Click
As a rock rolled down, Mandy covered her mouth in an instant, and she didn't cry out. Matthew held onto a rock with one hand, and stepped on the ground with one foot, but fortunately, Matthew grabbed it immediately. Looking at the protruding rock on the other side, the people below felt goose bumps all over their bodies watching this shocking scene.

"If it wasn't for me, Matthew would be eating steak in space by now."

Mandy muttered something, and Jiang Ming next to him scratched his head with a smile.

"If it were me, I should choose to leave."

Mandy made a face at Jiang Ming.

"That's why you have no chance, Jiang Ming!"

Jiang Ming was not angry, but just laughed. In his opinion, this is really incredible. In the face of death and survival, that man with an adventurous spirit chose death without hesitation, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

A long time after the disaster, the mercenaries of the Angus family found Matthew in the chaos, but Matthew did not follow them, because Mandy left with the hunting team and was not in the city. , In the end the plane took off and took some people away, but Matthew insisted on staying in the camp, and did not go to take the rocket that lifted off to Asgard.

This is where everyone was astonished at the time, because the choice Matthew made was tantamount to death. At that time, Mandy embraced Matthew's arms, and the two of them pierced the window paper.

Watching Matthew approaching the top of the mountain a little bit, the last short section seemed to have no risk, and turned into a small slope, which only needed three or four meters to climb to the top.

Many people below looked up. At this time, Matthew stood up, pulled the rope, and slowly retracted it into the backpack after it was untied. Matthew walked step by step, his legs and feet were a little weak, and he staggered Later, Matthew stood on the edge of the cliff in a daze, looking at the majestic mountains in front of him. Although he had seen it before, Matthew was shocked by everything now.

The planet has not been completely destroyed because of this disaster. The sun shines on the top of the undulating mountain, shining brightly in the clouds. There is a large green plant in front of you, including the lake. Some animals can already be seen. Excitedly, Xiu raised his hands and stepped onto the land, followed by bursts of loud cheers, everyone below cheered, even though it was far away, he could still vaguely hear a lot of cheers. People are clapping.

"Hurry up."

Mandy's voice came from behind, and Matthew wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes. This majestic and magnificent land is their future residence. Every time he went through those quiet places, Matthew would feel the magnificence and tenacity of this planet.

"The world is not dead, not dead yet!"

Matthew shouted. After the excitement calmed down, Matthew began to search for a fixed point for the rope, and soon found a raised rock. After Matthew fixed the rope, he let it go. There are two rows of ropes, one is used for climbing, and the other is used to fix the body to prevent falling. It is a pity that there are too few such equipment, and Matthew holds the rope tightly.

If more people are not sent up as soon as possible, more people will only die. Many people suffer from hunger every day. The nearby wild fruits, grass, and everything that can be eaten have been eaten by people. Continue The only ones who can eat when I go down are the people around me.

"so beautiful!"

While thinking, Mandy had already climbed up, looked at the dazed Matthew, Mandy walked over, stood on his feet in front of Matthew, the two hugged each other tightly, under the sunlight kissed each other.

Then the two began to help the people below. In just two or three hours, hundreds of people had come up, and everyone was happy. Mandy took the crossbow and some people from the hunting team planned to go to the distant Hunting near the lake, after all, everyone is too hungry, especially the people below.

Matthew is still dividing everything. They will take a short rest here, investigate everything nearby, and then go to a tourist attraction 100 kilometers away to see if there is anything that can be used. If it is suitable, everyone Just move over.

Seeing more and more people coming up, many of them rushed to the lake as soon as they came up. Although Matthew had told them to wait and help the people behind, many of them seemed impatient and wanted to get it. a little food.

At this time, Matthew looked at the place behind him, feeling a little heavy, because if he still didn't reclaim the land after eating up all the food in the vicinity, he would be in big trouble.

"We'd better make plans earlier, this place is really not suitable."

Jiang Ming leaned over and muttered, Matthew knew what Jiang Ming wanted to say.

Many people have already started making rope ladders. Everyone is looking for some hard tree trunks nearby to make rope ladders so that more people can climb up. This time they want to make safety rope ladders.

Looking at most of the people who had already rushed to the lake as soon as they came up, Jiang Ming felt contempt in his heart at this time. Many people could not bear it for a moment. Hunger and thirst tortured everyone every day, but now what is needed more is to unite.

"As long as we can survive, human nature will be exposed. Listen to me, we will leave with the hunting team, and then bring those botanists and other scientific researchers with us. A team of up to 200 people will be fine. , we can go to the scenic area, there are too many people here, plus those other guys."

Although Matthew couldn't bear it, Matthew has seen too many things along the way, and the reason why everyone can work together to come here is because it allows everyone to rest and survive for a short time.

"You can be their leader today, but tomorrow, maybe because of something, they will kill you as the leader! Or do you want to see Mandy cry?"

Matthew hummed.

"I see. When people come up, we'll rest and settle for half a month before leaving."

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he knew very well that he couldn't stay in this place for long.

There are already many people looking for food in the low bushes, especially those who came first. Many people do not intend to stay to help, but plan to occupy a little more supplies. Many people below are urging , Let the people above put the rope ladder down quickly.

Although the sound was very fast, it could be seen that everyone gathered in front of the mountain wall. Many people were impatient and wanted to come up immediately.

Finally, at 4:45 p.m., the rope ladder was completed with the efforts of more than 200 people. Jiang Ming once again warned the people below through the short-range communicator that the rope ladder only allows 8 people at most, preferably 6 people. The limit must never be exceeded.

Although this high-strength metal composite rope can bear a weight of 1 ton, according to detailed calculations, 5 to 8 people are the safe range of the rope, and it is calculated based on an average weight of 60 kilograms.

With the help of some people who were still waiting at the mountain wall, the rope ladder was successfully lowered down in a place with a not very steep slope. The stone wall over there was a bit light and not easy to climb.

A few safety ropes were also put down together, and people near the mountain wall began to climb, and many people climbed very fast. This mountain wall with a vertical distance of up to 700 meters has a rope ladder, and one person only needs to It takes more than 10 minutes to climb up, and the steps are at least six branches tied with metal wires.

Matthew taught everyone how to make it very early, and then everyone tried their best to send up the materials. More than 200 people finished the production in 6 hours.

Jiang Ming kept the radio on, and the voices below were very messy. Many people were not at ease with the rope ladder, because if there were too many people stepping on it, safety would be a problem, and there were at least 3000 people nearby.

Because in other places, there are still some resources that can be eaten and drank, which are occupied by other forces that came together. Although everyone is harmonious on the surface, they are still hostile. It is because Matthew proposed to go here that the previous swords are on the verge of breaking out. The situation has changed.

"Don't squeeze."

At this time, there was a roar on the radio. It seemed that the situation was quite bad. There were not enough materials to make the second rope ladder. If someone hadn’t lost some rope materials on the way, they could even make three rope ladders.

"The inferiority of human beings cannot be changed at any time."

As Jiang Ming spoke, he shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie.

"If anyone doesn't wait in line and messes around, we'll remove the rope ladder immediately, and you'll be down there for the rest of your life."

Soon the seemingly chaotic situation below was brought under control. Matthew sighed, and sat down tiredly. Not far away, the hunting team came back. Sure enough, they had hunted animals. They had just approached Many people smelled a bloody smell.

"Hurry up, the berries are a bit bitter, but they're not bad."

As soon as Mandy came over, he put a bag of berries in front of Matthew. Jiang Ming, who was next to him, leaned over. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Mandy glared at him. He unceremoniously grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. Although it is very bitter, the taste is not bad, and Matthew also ate it. The more than 30 people in the hunting team seemed to be more energetic, and they were already full in advance.

"We temporarily hid the food we hunted, and there are still people guarding it."

As Mandy said, Matthew hummed, and more and more people came up at this time, and many people leaned over, hoping to get some food.

"There are a lot of things to eat over the lake, you go there by yourself."

Mandy didn't show any kindness to them. Some people's disobedience along the way caused a lot of trouble to everyone. Mandy didn't have any patience with them.

"After settling down for a while, we will leave. A maximum of 200 people is enough."

Matthew hummed, and Mandy smiled and leaned into Matthew's arms, closing her eyes tiredly.

"You are very capable of leadership, Matthew, but as a leader, you have to make decisions!"

As Jiang Ming said, Matthew looked at Mandy and said yes, although the decision to abandon most people is cruel, but if you don't do this, before there is stability, this fragile trust relationship will be destroyed by hunger. And crash.
