Chapter 219 Vine Rope Ladder

Zhuo Yun was still meeting with his group yesterday to discuss the escape plan.

Now the ground is completely impassable. If they don't find a solution quickly, once the water runs out, they will eventually be trapped in this city. Because of the tight time, everyone's mind was in a mess and they had no idea.

Zhuo Yun was still able to stay calm and repeatedly adjusted the radio. Since the plants' roots grew and mutated two days ago and began to hunt all creatures, the broadcast from the shelter they could originally receive has been interrupted.

They don't know what went wrong, whether the plants destroyed the remaining signal towers, or the base station of the broadcast - the official shelter itself has a problem.

That official shelter has always been their goal and place of hope. If something goes wrong there, what will they do in the future?

They have all kinds of questions in their minds, but now they are trapped in the building of this abandoned city, unable to move, and no one can answer their questions.

Therefore, in the early morning, when Shen Qiu's surprised low cry came, the few people who were not asleep quickly got up and rushed to the window to see the scene below, and their eyes widened in surprise.

The green vine rope ladder spread out from the tenth floor below this building, connecting to the highest floor opposite - a large balcony on the eighth floor. The plants have undergone new changes again. Is this change bad or worse?

The people over there also noticed this situation. Several people crowded on the balcony, seemingly studying the reason for the appearance of this vine rope ladder.

Because it was a connection formed by plants, both the people here and the people in the opposite building were very wary of each other. No one dared to get close, let alone touch or climb.

**

At the same time, You Xi briefly told her parents about her plan. You Feng certainly had no objection. These people were indeed pitiful and needed help. As for Fan Qi, the only request was that her daughter protect herself and do what she could.

"Don't push yourself too hard. No one is your responsibility. There are many people on this planet. You can help within your ability, but you must put yourself first." Fan Qi touched her daughter's face and said softly, "Just think of it as mom being selfish. Anyway, remember what I said, you are the most important person in this world."

You Xi put her arm around Fan Qi's shoulders: "No, my mom is the most important."

When the mother and daughter were together, "Bean Sprout" also released from You Xi's wrist, jumped up all the way, jumped along her shoulders and ears to her head, and finally entangled her ponytail with its roots with satisfaction, turning itself into a "bean sprout" swaying on her head.

The family of three was so close that You Feng, who was standing aside, seemed like an outsider.

You Feng felt a chill on the back of his neck as he looked at Fan Qi's seemingly casual glance at him.

It's over, I must have said something wrong again...

Will I have to sleep on the floor again tonight?

After You Xi took out the necessary items from the Star House warehouse, she quickly set up a pet area for "Bean Sprout".

She picked him up and communicated with him seriously, emphasizing one point most importantly: Fan Qi and You Feng are her masters, just like she is her master. The master of the master is the most important, and he must not mess up the master when she is not around.

After being communicated with, "Bean Sprout" immediately jumped off the ground, and its roots moved very quickly, diving into the soil of the pot, restoring itself to an ordinary rose seedling growing in the ground.

"Okay, then you just stay in the soil when I'm not around." You Xi was very satisfied and released the plant's superpowers to sense its growth.

This time, she felt more comfortable using the birth-inducing superpowers. She controlled the output of the superpowers and only input a small amount of superpowers to the other party, allowing it to digest slowly.

Afterwards, she returned to the room and changed into the waterproof, close-fitting black slim-fitting clothes, brought a backpack, Tang sword, and bayonet, put on a mask, changed into military boots, sprayed [sunscreen spray], and went out to work!

** On

the tenth floor of the building, many people gathered near the window of the room where the vine rope ladder appeared.

Zhuo Yun, Lu Yichen, and even Yan Ya, all brought a few people from their small groups to check the situation. Compared with Zhuo Yun and Lu Yichen's teams, the people led by Yan Ya obviously looked unhappy.

Since yesterday morning, they only ate one piece of biscuit for every meal, with a few mouthfuls of snow water they had saved. How could their faces look good?

But they had been with Yan Ya the longest, and almost everyone had received his help, so even if they hated Mu Kelian, they couldn't get angry for a while and could only bear it.

In addition, Yan Ya really knew how to behave. He felt that as a grown man, he couldn't force his girlfriend's food, but he didn't eat alone without them, but ate with them. Yesterday, he ate three pieces of biscuits for three meals a day.

Because of this, as soon as someone discovered the abnormality on the tenth floor today, the people around Yan Ya followed him over.

Lu Yichen and Zhuo Yun's group were also there. They didn't have a food crisis, and seeing that they were in high spirits, the people in Yan Ya's group couldn't help but drag Mu Kelian out and scold her hundreds of times in their hearts.

However, any conflicts within them were internal problems, and they couldn't quarrel in public, or they would be laughed at. So, with all these considerations, several people tried to divert their attention and looked at the vine rope ladder outside the window.

"Don't get too close. This is the tenth floor. If the vines move, you will be killed if you are rolled out by them!"

"We have to get closer. We have to check what's going on. The vines were on the seventh or eighth floor before we went to bed yesterday. How come they climbed higher after a night? They are even connected to the building opposite. Could they have some big tricks up their sleeves?"

"What big tricks? They're plants, not humans. How can they be that smart?"

"At this point, why do you still think this way? Humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. A mutated mosquito can suck all the blood out of our bodies. Now even the roots of plants have become so scary. Look at the cities outside. To this planet, what are we?"

"Okay, what you said is all right, then tell me, what should we do now? Or let's just forget about it, we're all going to die anyway!"

...

The atmosphere in the room fell all the way because of this sentence. Almost everyone knew today that the broadcast signal of the official shelter outside the city was interrupted. Some things were better left unsaid, but once they were said so bluntly, those with fragile hearts immediately burst into tears.

Some people were pushed to the lowest point under pressure and began to rebound, cursing and saying that they wanted to go out and fight the plants, and that they wanted to set fire to them directly. They were all going to die anyway, so they might as well die together.

When Youxi opened the door of the stairwell on the tenth floor and walked in, he saw just such a chaotic scene.

Someone turned around inadvertently, saw the mask on her face, was startled, and immediately took two steps back.

Some people had gone out with them to look for supplies before, so they naturally knew her. Others who didn't know her had also been educated by their companions about "that woman in black is super powerful blah blah blah".

Lu Yichen's group also learned some information from Zhuo Yun, but that day she didn't escape back to the building with everyone, and everyone thought she had died or gone somewhere else. Who knew she would suddenly appear so quietly.

"Did she come down from the building again?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh my god, how did she get back that day? I didn't even see her running..."

"You ask me, who should I ask..."

...

The gazes and discussions of the crowd had no effect on You Xi. She walked towards the window through the crowd with an expressionless face (because she was wearing a mask). The survivors on both sides made way for her as she passed by, but their eyes followed her closely, curious about what she was trying to do.

You Xi came to the window, leaned on the window frame, and jumped lightly onto the windowsill.

"Be careful--" Zhuo Yun and Shen Qiu spoke subconsciously.

This is the tenth floor, the windowsill is so narrow, and it is slippery due to the rain. The windowsill is covered with dense vines, which looks dangerous no matter how you look at it.

You Xi turned around and said, "Don't be afraid. This whole building is safe now and in the future."

Because the plants here have been tamed by her, and the half-man-wide vine rope ladder connecting the window sill to the opposite building was also created by her.

Before You Xi took a step forward, she glanced at the crowd behind her and said, "Don't follow me. I'm not responsible if you fall."

"Don't worry, I'll watch them." Zhuo Yun spoke again, suppressing the excitement that suddenly emerged in her heart.

She had a crazy and bold guess. If this guess is true, then they still have hope of survival!

You Xi nodded to Zhuo Yun, turned around and stepped down on the vine rope ladder.

The vines connect the tenth floor here to the eighth floor opposite, with a height difference of about six meters in the middle. The distance between the two floors is fifty meters, and the six-meter height is evenly divided into a distance of fifty meters, so the height difference is not too big. It is a slightly inclined rope ladder.

The rope ladder is made entirely of vines. Because it is a ladder, there are naturally hollow spaces in the middle. Each space is about twenty centimeters, which is the distance of an adult's step.

This distance will still make people feel scared and weak at such a height, so she made the left and right widths slightly longer, and with the inclined angle, it is just right for people to climb on their knees.

Youxi's weight is almost no burden on the vine rope ladder. The vines are combined into several strands, thick and solid, and there is no shaking.

She walked lightly and quickly, and in a few moments she reached the balcony of the building opposite.

In the stunned expressions of the survivors on the balcony, she slowly spoke: "Plants are destroying all the buildings in the city, and your building is no exception. Once the building is damaged, you will all become nutrients for the plants. Do you understand this?"

Most people looked at each other, and a man in his forties stood up from the other side: "I know." He knew, but he didn't tell others, for fear that people's hearts would be scattered and chaos would be caused.

"Do you want to live? If you want to live, then climb up the vine rope ladder to the other side. The building opposite is the only one in the city that will not be destroyed by plants."

You Xi looked at the other party and continued without pausing, "Don't ask why, and don't ask who I am. I won't tell you even if you ask. I don't know you and have no obligation to save you. I just provide a way to survive. If you believe me, go ahead. If you don't, stay.

No more than five people should go up the vines at a time. If there are more than five people, the vines will shake. If anyone accidentally falls, I will not be responsible if anyone goes down. If anyone tries to use the vines to drag others down, I will personally throw them out even if they successfully reach the opposite building.

In addition, no supplies will be provided there, and all troublemaking behavior is prohibited. I will also personally throw out anyone who makes trouble.

Now, tell me if you have children here, and if the children need my help to transfer them? "

There is too much information in Youxi's words, but in this situation, there will always be people with a smart mind who understand the current situation and can understand that she is saving people.

Fortunately, there are several smart people in this building.

They suppressed the other survivors' chaotic questions, worries and fears, and quickly arranged the personnel who would cross the vine ladder each time, and counted the number of children she needed to help transfer - two children, one four years old and one nine years old, not too many.

Youxi watched them pass a group of five people first, took out two blindfolds for the two children to wear, and then picked them up on the left and right, while whispering: "Don't be afraid, but don't move, hold on to me, and I won't let you fall." The

little girl was not afraid because she was too young and her vision was blocked. The big boy was shaking all the way, but he had been in the apocalypse for a long time and had already understood the cruelty of survival, so he bit his lip, resisted the fear of his body hanging in the air, and hugged Youxi tightly, not daring to move.

The two children were like two kittens to Youxi. She remained upright, rushed 50 meters quickly, and jumped smoothly into the building from the window. She took off the blindfolds of the two children, and the two immediately threw themselves into the arms of the family members who had come earlier.

Those people thanked her repeatedly. Youxi nodded slightly, turned back to find Zhuoyun, briefly told her the plan, and gave her the task of supervising the survivors to cross the vine ladder peacefully and placing the new survivors on which floor.

"Just arrange the floor for them to live on, don't worry about anything else. You are good at fighting, you can calm them down. If there are really troublemakers that you can't solve, tell me. Don't worry, you and your partners won't work in vain. I will come again before dinner tonight, think about what you need, and tell me together."

Zhuo Yun was not afraid of working in vain, she was very excited at the moment, her blood boiling.

It seems that she guessed right, the boss is going to rescue people, and they have a chance now!

"Don't worry, I will do my best to arrange it!"

You Xi originally wanted to hurry up to the next job, but seeing the enthusiasm in Zhuo Yun's eyes and Shen Qiu standing beside her with bright eyes, she couldn't help but ask one more question: "By the way, do you have any way to notify the survivors in other nearby buildings and tell them about the relocation, and it would be best if those who want to relocate can give an accurate direction signal?"

She now knows that there are survivors nearby, but she doesn't know their specific location, number, situation, and whether they are willing to relocate.

Among the people in the building just now, there happened to be someone with a clear mind and strong organizational ability, so the relocation work was relatively smooth.

But this situation can't be smooth every time. Even if it's the end of the world, there will always be a few weirdos who like to commit suicide in various ways.

She wanted to save people but didn't want to cause trouble. She would build the escape bridge and notify everyone, and let them decide whether to come or not.

Zhuo Yun lowered her head and thought carefully: "Our building is the tallest in the city. If we put a conspicuous sign on the roof and write the escape notice on it--"

As she said this, she overturned the idea again, "No, this city is not big, but it is not that small either. The field of vision is limited. If the survivors are farther away, they can't see it at all..."

"What about using a drone?" Shen Qiu suddenly said, "I remember there is a drone club on the upper floor. We should be able to find a usable drone. We can tie a loudspeaker to it, record the key content and play it back, and then let the drone fly around nearby, so that the notice can be clearly delivered."

When they came here to take refuge, Yan Ya had led people to search up and down. At that time, they found the drone and thought about using the drone to go out and ask for help.

However, because the heavy snow affected the flight line of sight, and the drone's range was limited to about 5 kilometers, so this matter was put on hold.

The temperature finally warmed up a few days ago, but because of the plant incident, no one has mentioned this matter so far.

After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he found that both of them were looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "What's wrong, is this idea not working?"

You Xi smiled and reached out to touch her head: "No, this idea is not bad, let's try it as you said."

**

Until the evening of that day, the survivors in the three nearby buildings all crossed safely to this sheltered building through the vine rope ladders connecting the buildings.

You Xi removed the vine rope ladders between the other buildings, leaving only the earliest rope ladder.

At this moment, the drone has circled several times in the city.

Many of the survivors who arrived safely at the building heard the voice from the drone's loudspeaker. The end of the world is difficult, and they also hope to see more surviving compatriots.

Finally, as the sky gradually darkened, a faint fire ignited on the roof of a building in the distance, and then, in another direction, another fire lit up.
