The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 41 Extreme Cold
The fifth day of the cold wave.

At this time, there are only two days left before the end of the cold wave given by the Danhang Meteorological Observatory.

Yu Ke's cat winter life continues.

In the early morning of this morning, Yu Ke, who had just finished his morning exercise, received a text message from the hunting team. The sender was Anseli, whom she had met twice before. She hoped that after the cold wave ended, Yu Ke could lead her team to the Human-faced Owl. 's lair.

The human-faced owl was originally the target that the team led by her needed to solve.

As a result, not only did the task fail to be completed, but the Little Garden Workstation almost collapsed.

Although Yu Ke came to help solve the crisis, for her, her own dereliction of duty was irrefutable.

Therefore, after learning that the carcass of the human-faced owl had been listed as research material by the Little Garden Workstation, she hoped to go to the human-faced owl nest that the hunting team could not find, at least to have a clearer understanding of this kind of monster. .

Of course, Ansaili made it clear in the text message that he would not let Yu Ke return empty-handed. At the same time, he sent a list of equipment within the hunting team, indicating that if there was anything he liked, he could ask and choose any two. She personally delivered the package to Yu Ke.

Anseli was so "high-spirited" that Yu Ke didn't show any pretense and immediately agreed to her request, just to lead the way.

Holding a cup of instant milk tea and sitting on the lounge chair in front of the window, Yu Ke looked out the window at the raging wind and snow under the dim sky.

Recently, he fell in love with watching the snow in front of the window.

It's not for the sake of poetry, but he really likes the feeling of looking at the frozen world outside while hiding in a warm room.

But today's wind and snow seemed to be particularly bad. Yu Ke curled his lips and turned his eyes to the equipment list on the screen of his mobile phone.

The logistics of the hunting team are really not comparable to the shops in the transfer station. Even if the equipment here is not clearly marked with a price, Yu Ke can still feel its value, even if the list itself has been streamlined and some special equipment does not appear on it.

Anseli only listed the parts that he had the authority to obtain for Yu Ke.

Frankly speaking, Yu Ke doesn't have high demand for weapons now.

He took advantage of the newly updated Sharptooth Bow and Arrow and Leviathan Ax, and there was nothing in the list that could perfectly replace them.

This kind of opportunity to choose equipment from the hunting team doesn't come around very often, and Yu Ke doesn't want to waste it.

His attention was quickly drawn to the combat uniform among them.

Compared with the combat uniforms issued to rangers, the equipment of the rangers was obviously more luxurious. It was a pity that the individual armors worn by the rangers that he had seen not long ago were no longer in the list. Otherwise, he would have really wanted to. Get a set.

Don't say anything else, just be handsome and that's it.

Just as Yu Ke was struggling with what to choose, the message that popped up on his phone made him frown.

'The Meteorological Observatory warns that the intensity of the cold wave will increase again at the end, and the temperature is expected to drop to minus 60 degrees. Please prepare for the cold in all forest patrol camps.'

grass! Again?

Yu Ke sat up and looked out the window again.

Just now he felt that something was wrong with the weather outside.

Now it seems that the cold wave is planning to hit them hard before it ends!

Turn around and go to the computer desk to check the data sent back by the thermometer outside. It was clearly daytime, but the temperature plummeted to minus 49 degrees, which made Yu Ke immediately nervous. He hurriedly changed into cold-proof clothes and prepared to go out to check the situation in the camp, and at the same time visit the horned deer taking shelter from the wind and snow in the camp.

The blizzard environment of minus 50 to 60 degrees is very likely to defeat their self-protection, and he must deal with it.

Yu Ke, fully dressed, opened the door.

The first thing I saw was the completely frozen snow and ice on the railing in front of the house.

When he got down to the camp, Yu Ke immediately went to check on the situation of the alarming deer herd.

His worries were correct. The horned deer in the camp were already old and weak. The current ambient temperature was already approaching the limit of what they could withstand. Most of their bodies were buried in snow and they couldn't stop shivering.

The hay brought by the Jinghorn Deer King has long been used up. In fact, even if there is still any, it has now become a lump of ice.

Sensing Yu Ke's approach, only a few deer could still raise their heads to look at him. They tried their best to blink their eyes, and cold mist spewed out from their mouths and noses covered with ice. They tried to call out, but in the end they could only tilt their heads and lie back.

Yu Ke didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and headed straight to the parking lot.

First, he drove his off-road vehicle and snowmobile into the snow in a corner of the camp, and then moved a few partitions originally used to repair the house to separate the parking lot on all sides.

He turned around and rushed into the hunting lodge. Except for the freezer containing food, he cleared out all the other debris and put it in the back of the off-road vehicle or simply piled it in the corner of the camp. There was also a powerhouse, which blocked the lines and barely cleared an open space.

After finishing all this, Yu Ke began to move the frightened deer.

The older and larger deer with antlers managed to squeeze into these three sheltered places. Even if they were crowded together, they could not do anything. At least the temperature inside the house would allow them to survive the wind and snow.

Due to the generally huge size of the horned deer, they soon filled up the vacant areas of the houses in the camp. There were only five or six young horned deer left, which were already freezing and unconscious.

In desperation, Yu Ke had to carry them one by one on his shoulders and send them into the watchtower house.

If the house is dirty, you can find a way to clean it, and it doesn't matter if it smells bad. These cubs can be said to be the hope for the future of the Jinghorn Deer herd. If they die here, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Jinghorn Deer herd.

What's more, Yu Ke has been raising them for a few days and has consumed a lot of food. If they were to freeze to death in the snow, all the hard work would be wasted!

Fortunately, Yu Ke was physically strong, and the young deer's vitality was strong enough to quickly recover from the coma after entering the sentry tower house where the temperature was still more than ten degrees Celsius.

The change in the environment made them panic and want to get up. They calmed down again when they saw the carrots handed over by Yu Ke.

Rubbing the forehead of the frightened deer calf in front of him, Yu Ke did not stay in the house for long, but prepared to go down and distribute another round of food.

The food provided by the small garden workstation is enough for Yu Ke to survive the entire cold wave. The remaining food is worthless to him, and sufficient food can provide sufficient heat for the alarmed deer to withstand the extreme cold.

Returning to the hunting lodge, he crawled over the deer with antlers and took out a large bag of vegetables. Yu Ke fed each deer with antlers some until they were all empty. Then he picked up a bag of radishes and potatoes and left, heading to the other two. Every place.

While Yu Ke was busy feeding the horned deer.

In the wind and snow outside the camp, an uninvited guest strode forward. Its skinny torso was covered with snow, and its four long and narrow arms dragged along the snow beside it, creating several ravines.

It raised its head, and between its hollow head like a mask, its blood-red eyes locked on the high lights of the camp ahead.

There is no light allowed in this world!
