November 11, 2155
Under the snow-capped peaks and under the gray sky, in a mountain forest, several deer are digging through the snow with their hooves, trying to find edible plant roots. The deer are watching everything around them warily.
In a place with some withered plants, a black gun muzzle stuck out. There were two people, one large and one small, wrapped tightly in the grass, an old man and a little girl whose face was red from the cold.
"Tasia, come here."
The old man handed the gun to the girl next to him little by little. The girl held the cold and biting butt of the gun, but could not pull the trigger. She looked at a fawn in the herd in front of her, playing beside the mother deer, without knowing it at all.
Danger is coming quietly nearby.
"Child, don't hesitate. If you hesitate, you will fail. Shoot."
Tasia's family has not caught prey for many days. They must capture prey and use the meat to exchange for some food at the largest human refuge nearby, the Winter Fortress, in order to continue to survive.
Tasia's family is an Orion family living near this mountain range. After the disaster that almost destroyed mankind, her great-grandfather and his family fled here from the city with difficulty.
Tasia likes to listen to her grandfather telling some ancient stories that her great-grandfather once told her. She is 16 years old this year and has to take on everything in the family. Recently, the sun has become more and more difficult to penetrate the clouds. Here in Tasia
When I first became sensible, I was all white.
In Tasia's world, there was only white. There was a touch of sadness on her red little face, and the hand that was holding the trigger pressed down little by little.
boom
Following a loud noise, a lot of boulders rolled down the mountain. The deer dispersed, and the grandfather and grandson hurriedly came out of the grass.
"Climb up quickly Tasia."
Grandpa shouted. Tasia hugged a thick tree and climbed up directly. Grandpa followed closely behind. The two of them quickly climbed to a high place. A lot of people slipped under the thick tree.
snowflake.
"No chance!"
Recently, there are fewer and fewer animals that can be hunted. Originally, the 60 or 70 families in the neighborhood all abide by the rules and must not kill all the animals. They must leave some way for the animals to survive. However, due to the increasingly scarce food, the situation continues to increase.
Ten years of cold winter has almost pushed everyone to despair.
"Sorry grandpa!"
Tasia started to cry sadly, but at this moment, Tasia saw a hand in the snow, which had turned purple from the cold. Seeing Tasia about to go down, her grandfather held her hand.
she.
"Don't go down there, Tasia. The person who died on the ridge must have been washed down by the avalanche."
The rustling snow is still flowing, and there is a possibility of a second avalanche. We must wait until the situation stabilizes, then go down slowly, and then leave quietly.
Tasia had seen the dead man many times, but she always felt that the fingers of the person below were moving. It was already approaching dusk and the light was very poor. At this time Tasia screamed in surprise.
"The people below grandpa are not dead, they are starting to work."
Grandpa, who was observing the drifting snow, shook his head.
"Stop saying stupid things."
However, the moment Grandpa saw it from the corner of his eye, he snatched the gun from Tasia's hand and pointed it at the man below who was really sitting up. His whole body was in tatters and his exposed skin was turned purple from the cold. In this way
In the snowy day, he only wore a thin leather jacket, which was in tatters and full of bullet holes. He also only wore a pair of ordinary trousers underneath. It seemed that the man could hardly stand the cold.
, sneezing and shivering.
"But grandpa, this man is so handsome."
Tasia said that she had never seen such a handsome man with silver hair and a strong body. At this time, the man stood up, looked at the grandfather and grandson on the tree with a smile, and said hello.
"Hey, I just walked on it and fell into an ice cave, and was washed down by an avalanche. My name is Jean!"
The man said, and grandpa finally put down the gun. At this time, Gene looked sideways at him, and suddenly a black thing jumped out. Grandpa and grandson were startled. This kind of thing that looks like a wolf is actually a mutation.
Animal beasts, very ferocious.
Bang
When the gun rang out, the grandfather and grandson's eyes widened as they saw the monster in front of them standing straight in the air. Unbelievable blue particles actually floated out of the man's eyes, and the monster stagnated in the air.
"I'm a little hungry. Let's bake this thing and eat it first."
Click
With a crisp twisting sound, the monster's neck was broken. Gene picked up the monster weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand, leaving his grandfather and grandson stunned.
Gene turned his head and looked at the grandfather and grandson on the tree, and bowed with a smile on his face.
"What kind of place is this?"
After a while, the grandfather and grandson took Jean down the mountain and told him that this place used to be a backing town in a country in Eastern Europe, but now there are many people stationed here.
"Jean, aren't you cold?"
Tasia looked at this weird and handsome man and really couldn't understand that in such a big winter, he was dressed up like this but didn't freeze to death. She felt it was strange, and looking at this man's appearance, he seemed to have something special.
At this moment, Grandpa was worried because he instinctively felt that this man was dangerous.
Although the light was very dim, Grandpa Oleg had carefully observed the man's body. There were no scars at all, but there was a lot of blood, and the strangeness of this man made Oleg a little worried.
At this time, Tasia looked at the monster that Jean was carrying with one hand. These very ferocious monsters that suddenly appeared, many of them looked like wolves, tigers or other things, very bloodthirsty, but fortunately their flesh
You can eat it, but eating it will have a certain impact on the human body, but in this situation of food shortage, you can no longer care so much.
Moreover, the bones of this kind of monster are very valuable and can be exchanged for some supplies, because the bones of the monster contain an antiviral component that can be made into medicine.
"I'm so cold. Little sister, would you like to lend me your cotton-padded jacket?"
Gene just said this casually, and Tasia was about to take off her cotton-padded jacket, but was stopped by Gene.
"I'm a little different from normal humans. I'm always completely lost now."
Jean's idea at this time is to quickly return to the plateau called the Arena. Now the situation in the Arena has stabilized, and all forces have begun to cooperate in building the wall. Among them, their forces are the largest.
All forces began to gradually obey them.
"Mr. Jean, where are you from?"
Oleg asked.
"Coming from the Himalayas."
Oleg immediately understood. He had heard his late father often say that many people chose to go to high altitudes to survive in the increasingly deteriorating environment. If it had not been for the extremely chaotic situation, his father would have taken him with him.
The family crossed the mountains directly to the plateau, but it was too difficult and dangerous to cross the mountains, and they missed the best opportunity.
At the moment when the disaster strikes, a terrifying deadly virus is also raging across the world. It is feasible for most people to use transportation to go to the plateau as soon as possible, but those who are slower can only survive in that chaotic era.
To make a living, living in such deep mountains is also the best choice for most human beings.
"You're so stupid Gene!"
Tasia laughed. Gene stopped Tasia and didn't let her give him a cotton-padded jacket. Along the way, Oleg asked a lot about the plateau. Gene just casually told him the current situation there.
It is stable and there are tens of millions of people alive.
This shocked Oleg extremely. The sun had disappeared for decades. Even if it appeared, there was only a little glimmer, and these glimmers were gradually disappearing. In the past, some things could be grown on the outdoor land, but
Now that there is no sunlight, the plants are gradually dying. Most of the plants in this mountain forest have died.
There are still some living people on the higher mountain peaks, but it was more than thirty years ago. In such a harsh climate, Oleg knew very well that those people were probably dead, and they could often be seen accompanied by
There was an avalanche and someone's body was washed down.
Scattered glimmers of light spread in front of Jean's eyes. He was a little happy. He didn't know how long he hadn't seen the light. He went to the Heavenly Punishment Pit to look for resources. Currently, Gu Yi and Tang Rao have discovered some new substance and have begun to work on it.
Research, the research achieved initial success, and he took on the important task of finding resources for the entire arena.
It's just that when we came out, it was a team of 50 people, but in the middle, some died of illness, or died in fierce exchanges with some places where the forces were still remaining. The final resources were obtained and the remaining 6 people were responsible for distributing the resources.
Take it back.
Jean originally wanted to follow him back. After all, he was a little worried and wanted to see his wife Ellie. However, during the journey, Jean saw the light coming from the northern border of Asia. He did remember that place.
There is a dragon lighthouse, so I decided to go and see it alone.
After bringing a certain amount of food and a locator, Jean set off alone. Unfortunately, on the way, Jean saw the light of the lighthouse extinguished.
After arriving at the lighthouse, this huge facility was filled with bloodthirsty mutant monsters, fierce battles took place, and dead people were everywhere. Jean looked everywhere for people who might still be alive.
However, he was disappointed in the end. No one survived and everyone died. He once again saw the destruction of a human gathering place. After cleaning up most of the monsters and burying the dead people one by one, Jean
