The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Temporary camp on the outskirts of Jinghu Forest.

A campfire dispersed the darkness in front of the tent, and broth simmered in a pot.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the forest was completely silent, except for the night wind and the chirping of insects.

The energetic wind chimes ran around the wooden piles, occasionally jumping to catch fireflies, only to swallow them as snacks.

Yu Ke, who was sitting on a folding chair, stared at the flames swaying in the wind, the orange-red flames illuminating his face.

If you look closely, you will find that his eyes are unfocused, and he is obviously still thinking about the illusion he saw in the cave cave not long ago.

Being in the wilderness allowed Yu Ke to quickly recover and sort out his chaotic thoughts.

The more he recalled and thought about the scenes in the environment, the more he felt that the god should be conveying a message to him.

That extremely weird meteor shower and the subsequent disasters all heralded a certain period of catastrophe, which made Yu Ke subconsciously wonder whether a similar large-scale disaster would erupt in the world one day in the future. .

You must know that less than ten years have passed since the start of the catastrophe.

Even so, paranormal phenomena and various disasters are already appearing in spurts around the world, and the scale and severity of disasters are almost increasing in a snowballing manner!

No one can guarantee what will happen in the next few years, and there are many negative doomsday prophecies in various countries.

In fact, the country where Yu Ke is located can still maintain the normal operations of many giant cities and retain a population of hundreds of millions.

Nearly 30% of the world's governments have ceased functioning or even been destroyed. Of the remaining 70%, 50% have fallen into large-scale domestic chaos, and have even evolved into old-era warlords fighting for survival resources.

"Is the bronze tripod that appeared at the end telling me that it is the key?"

After taking a sip of his drink, Yu Ke couldn't help but recall the last part of the fantasy.

Humanity did successfully suppress the chaos with the help of the bronze tripod. The gods deliberately pointed it out in the illusion. In Yu Ke's view, it was to remind him that if he had the chance, he must find the bronze tripod, so that Beijing and Hangzhou could cope with the increasingly chaotic situation. remain stable.

Besides that, what concerned Yu Ke the most was the thick fog that appeared before the illusion ended.

At that time, the situation in the fantasy realm had transformed into a critical stage for the Bronze Cauldron to suppress chaos. Yu Ke wanted to find out how people did it back then, but the sudden appearance of thick fog and insect buzzing interrupted everything.

This is obviously not normal.

Since the power of the gods remaining in the cave has dragged Yu Ke into the illusion, there is no reason to use this method to forcefully interfere.

There is only one possibility.

There was another force in the cave at that time!

Thinking of this, Yu Ke suddenly stood up from the folding chair and walked a few steps around the bonfire. The can in his hand was crushed by the increased strength of his hand.

The ruins of buildings in the cave, the carcasses of many ferocious beasts, and the Soul-eating Insect that he had tracked not long ago came to mind.

Looking back now, how similar are the fleshy shells of ferocious beasts with cracks on their backs to the shells left behind when insects metamorphose?

As for the thick fog

The fog incident in the mountain area caused chaos in the seals in the ruins.

Yu Ke doesn't believe it if there is no connection between them.

Various thoughts couldn't stop appearing in his mind. Unable to calm down, Yu Ke let Feng Chime stay in the temporary camp and look at the broth, and walked into the forest alone, trying to clear his thoughts.

The temporary camp was not far from the forest patrol camp under construction. Yu Ke, who often went to check it out, wandered over without knowing it.

Since the design drawings were successfully completed, the construction of the new camp has entered a 24-hour cycle with extremely high efficiency. Especially after Yu Ke returned from Shanqing City, three of the top construction teams in Beijing and Hangzhou City took turns here. construction.

There is no argument that the area outside Jinghu Forest will disturb residents. All kinds of noise and lights can actually increase the safety inside and outside the construction area.

The extremely high salary and the personal supervision of the General Administration of Disaster Prevention make the new camp look different every day.

Without disturbing their work, Yu Ke leaned against the big tree and looked at the new camp, whose general framework had been built.

With the technology of this era, building a house is really not that difficult.

At this stage, all that is left in the main house is the interior decoration and furniture arrangement. A professional team should come over in the next two days to take measurements. If nothing else, it can be completed within a week.

The real trouble is actually the high-tech greenhouse that Yu Ke requested. It is the house he uses to cultivate spiritual plants. It has extremely high requirements on all aspects of facilities and equipment, and then there are the protective devices on the outside of the house and around the camp.

Considering that various disastrous weather events occurred frequently during the Catastrophic Era, and the wooden house was located in Jinghu Forest, we could not be careless in this regard. Yu Ke did not want to have his new house destroyed as soon as he built it.

Yu Ke admired his new future residence, and his depressed mood soon improved.

It was at this time that the bell rang in the camp. It was meal time for the construction team. The workers temporarily left their posts and leaned against the large camping tent set up outside the camp. A team of chefs had prepared a large amount of meat.

This treatment was specially arranged by Yu Ke with the help of the Forestry Protection Bureau to reward the workers and mobilize their enthusiasm.

After all, in this era, eating meat is not an easy thing for most ordinary people. The free and unlimited supply is enough for them to devote themselves to the process of building the camp.

"Consultant Yu, why didn't you say anything when you came here?"

Lin Zhenye, who was wearing a safety helmet and was the person in charge of the scene, noticed Yu Ke standing not far away as soon as he went out and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

After all, he was the person in charge who was responsible for dealing with Yu Ke. Lin Zhenye had heard a lot of rumors about the young man in front of him from the Disaster Prevention Bureau. Regardless of whether they were true or not, there was no doubt that he was valued within the Disaster Prevention Bureau. of.

"If you have nothing to do, come here and see if it can be built in a few days. I mean the main house. It's a bit uncomfortable to live in a tent all day."

Yu Ke smiled and asked.

The greenhouse and hunting cabin are both independent from the main house. In theory, Yu Ke can move in as long as the main house is completed.

Of course, Yu Ke couldn't really live in it. He couldn't stand the 24-hour construction noise.

"The main house alone should be able to be completed in five days. I also added a special viewing platform for you on the roof. Then you can watch the once-in-a-century meteor shower from the top."

"Haha, then I'll look forward to the meteor shower you just mentioned, what kind of meteor shower?"

The words stopped abruptly in the middle. Yu Ke, who had captured the key information, stared at Lin Zhenye and asked in a deep voice.

"The Booper-Borealis Meteor Shower, don't you know? It is said that this meteor storm is an extremely rare meteor storm with a very large number. It can be seen in many places. The weather station has been promoting this matter for the past two days. My daughter But I was so excited that I had to prepare my wishes in advance.”

Noticing that something was wrong with Yu Ke's expression, Lin Zhenye said in surprise.

Yu Ke was silent and looked at the dark sky. After a while, he looked at Lin Zhenye, his tone was urgent,

"Don't build the greenhouse and hunting cabin yet. Complete the construction of the main house and protective devices as quickly as possible. The sooner the better!"
