The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 21 Small Garden Workstation
Although the environmental changes were unexpected, the transport team's operations were relatively smooth.

Those swollen insects looked disgusting, but they were not very aggressive. Just like the giant spider, they only stayed in the area covered by the spider web and moved easily, as if they were still in their original state.

Occasionally some short-sighted ones were killed one by one by Yu Ke with his bow and arrows.

It is no joke that the specially made sharp-toothed bow and arrow have a pulling force exceeding two hundred pounds. As long as it is locked by Yu Ke within a hundred meters, unless the target suddenly grows thick armor, a headshot will only take a blink of an eye.

At noon, the transportation team arrived at the "Little Garden" workstation.

The mutated yak stepped on the dead branches and leaves all over the ground and came to a woodland near the stream deep in the Jinghu Forest.

Yu Ke noticed that the density of trees in front of him was higher than anywhere along the way, and even somewhat violated the laws of nature.

This made him quickly realize that the "little garden" workstation should be hidden in front.

Naturally, the workstation set up by the Disaster Prevention Bureau cannot be placed blatantly on the surface deep in the Jinghu Forest. It would simply be a target for the jungle beasts out of thin air. No matter how many resources the Disaster Prevention Bureau has, it cannot be wasted like this.

Setting up the workstation underground was the right choice, and Yu Ke had already heard Zhang Renqi discuss this matter on the way.

"Let's go to the workstation for lunch later and then go back. The food standard here is no worse than that at the Disaster Prevention Bureau headquarters."

Driving the alienated yak to the stream, Zhang Renqi jumped off the back of the yak, walked to a tree, and put his palm on the trunk. When Yu Ke was confused, the tree next to his palm The skin actually moved away, revealing a small screen.

It's actually a short-range communication device disguised as a tree.

Yu Ke, who was standing nearby, saw on the other end of the screen a middle-aged and elderly man wearing black-rimmed glasses and gray temples. He was probably one of the researchers at the "Little Garden" workstation.

"The transportation team is in place and is opening the door to receive the goods."

Zhang Renqi said while turning sideways to signal the team members to be alert.

"Captain Zhang, I'm afraid this handover of materials will have to be done externally. The research in the workstation has reached a critical stage, and some accidents have occurred. We cannot allow any outside personnel to enter before the research results are released. Please understand."

Usually, the transportation team will receive a reception after arriving at the work station to reward the transportation team members for their hard work along the way.

But the project being researched inside the workstation this time is obviously extremely important, and no non-workstation personnel are allowed to enter.

Zhang Renqi, as a member of the force directly under the General Administration of Disaster Prevention, would naturally have no objection to this.

After all, in terms of level, the position of the person in charge of the workstation within the Disaster Prevention Bureau was beyond his reach. Therefore, after expressing his understanding, he immediately asked the team members to start unloading the goods on the spot.

At the same time, Yu Ke discovered that the area he had just found strange suddenly erupted with multiple layers of light waves, and then the trees that grew against the laws of nature immediately dissipated, replaced by a semicircular white building about twenty meters in diameter. There is also a hexagonal frame on the outside, and projection lights that camouflage light and shadow are installed at each node.

This is the passage connecting the inside and outside of the "small garden".

Not long after, several workstation members appeared in small cars to cooperate with the transportation team in loading and unloading material boxes. Unlike the transportation team members, these staff members all wore protective clothing that covered their whole bodies without even taking off their masks.

It wasn't just Yu Ke who was surprised by this. Zhang Renqi also stepped forward to ask, but he didn't get an answer and had to give up.

This matter has nothing to do with Yu Ke. Although he is a little curious, he also knows that his identity is not qualified to interfere.

Besides, he wasn't interested in the workstation thing either.

As long as there was no vicious beast attack, there wasn't much he had to do. It's nothing more than two trips back and forth with the transport team, which only wastes time.

Frankly speaking, Yu Ke was quite happy.

Entering the depths of Jinghu Forest for the first time gave him a more intuitive feel for this area, which allowed him to accumulate experience for future actions. Moreover, he could also ride an alienated yak, which was a novel experience.

The handover of materials went smoothly, because the "small garden" was not allowed to enter, so Zhang Renqi had no intention of staying here. The presence of a large amount of alienated yak and human auras might cause trouble to the workstation.

Therefore, after the handover was completed, the transport team set off immediately.

Without the burden of heavy supply boxes, the team's marching speed was significantly faster. The alienated yak carried everyone through the deep forest. In addition, the mission was successfully completed, and the team members were obviously much more relaxed. There were more conversations and laughter along the way. Quite a few.

Yu Ke and Zhang Renqi talked about the cold wave that would come in a few days.

"This cold wave has been assessed as a major disaster. It is no joke. Jinghu Forest is no better than Danhang City after all. Once a heavy snowstorm arrives, many things will be uncertain. You must do disaster prevention work in advance."

As an insider of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, Zhang Renqi was exposed to more detailed information about the cold wave disaster. In this primitive jungle, he was not afraid of others hearing it, and then reminded,
"It's more important to be careful about the things that come with the cold wave."

"Um, you mean extremely cold temperatures and snowstorms?"

Yu Ke ignored his meaning for a while and was a little surprised.

"The video that was removed from the Yuntu website has caused a lot of commotion recently. You should have at least seen the relevant news, right?"

"I've seen it, wait a minute. Are you saying that the monster lying outside other people's windows came with the cold wave?"

Yu Ke was initially confused about Zhang Renqi's sudden mention of the video being removed from the Yuntu website, but when he recalled the content of the video he watched that day, he suddenly realized what the problem was.

Of course, when Yu Ke saw the video being removed from the shelves, he just thought it was because the authorities were not allowed to publicize these mysterious things.

Now that I think about it, it's probably because the monster was involved in the cold wave, and the officials didn't want to cause further panic, so they chose to block the news.

"Try to avoid going out during snowstorms. If you hear unusual noises, don't pay attention to them. Especially if you see a figure in the snow, don't rush over. This is all the advice I can give you. Just treat it as if I didn't ask you just now. Let’s go have a meal at the workstation as an apology.”

After saying this, Zhang Renqi said nothing more. Even if Yu Ke asked, he just shook his head and told Yu Ke not to disclose it to the outside world.

Seeing that he couldn't ask for more information, Yu Ke could only keep these advices in mind and ask no more questions.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the transport team returned to the outskirts of Jinghu Forest.

Yu Ke and Zhang Renqi exchanged contact information and then parted ways, preparing to return to the patrol camp for a quick meal.

However, just as the off-road vehicle was driving halfway, the watch sounded the beep again.

This time it was not a new mission arranged by the Forestry Protection Bureau, but the locator placed near the herd of alarming deer was activated.

The giant python that has been missing for a long time since the last battle finally appears!
