The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 6 Observation Point

early morning.

The alarm clock at six o'clock woke Yu Ke up on time.

Get up, wash up briefly, turn on the rice cooker to make porridge, put on light sportswear and leave the tower.

The cool morning breeze in late autumn drives away the remaining sleepiness.

The sky in the distance of Jinghu Forest glows dark blue.

The morning glow is beginning to show, and the weather is good today.

Following the stairs to the lower camp, I warmed up by familiarity with the road. Then I found heavy wooden stakes of almost 200 kilograms in the open space at the corner, and used thick ropes to make two traps on the left and right that could be grasped.

Since the fitness equipment has not yet arrived, we can only use homemade ones for a while.

Squats, push-ups, and sit-ups were performed in turn. When the body was completely warmed up, he rushed out of the camp carrying wooden stakes and began running circles around the fields outside the camp to familiarize himself with his strengthened body and check the camp's protective net. Condition.

The more he challenges his limits, the more Yu Ke is amazed by the benefits brought by the trait [Heart of the Wilderness].

The description of this trait in the professional label system is very brief, and Yu Ke only understood its meaning after experiencing it personally.

On the one hand, it is the all-round strengthening of physical fitness.

Not only in terms of strength and speed, during long-distance running with heavy weights, Yu Ke could clearly feel that his physical strength, cardiopulmonary function, balance, etc. had all been greatly improved.

The intensity of exercise that used to be enough to make his throat smoke and his muscles tremble was nothing to him now.

On the other hand, it is a miraculous recovery ability.

Living in the wilderness, Yu Ke can clearly feel that he is absorbing natural energy every minute and second. The effect is not much different from the breathing to restore blood and endurance in some games. As long as it is not fatal, just give him time. full recovery!
Of course, if it is a serious injury such as a broken bone, the recovery time will be at least ten days and a half.

After more than half an hour of high-intensity exercise, when we returned to the camp, the sky was bright and the golden sun was rising.

After Yu Ke took a shower, he took the porridge bowl to the computer, unpacked the mustard mustard and salted duck eggs, and looked through today's work diary with the braised rabbit meat that he had not finished yesterday.

There are no special fixed working hours for forest patrol hunters, and they generally follow the tasks assigned by the Forestry Protection Bureau.

For example, Yu Ke was a newly hired forest ranger, and he had just killed a special mandrill yesterday, so the task assigned to him by the Forestry Defense Bureau for the first time was not difficult.

'Inspect the forest environment and collect data from each observation point, which will be completed within three days. '

The task description in the log is very simple. After all, it is for new ranger hunters. The main purpose is to familiarize them with the environment.

Yu Ke, who had been trained, knew what to do with just a glance.

The so-called 'observation points' are actually several special environmental areas in the northeast corner of Jinghu Forest that he is responsible for.

Due to the impact of the catastrophe, the animals and plants in Jinghu Forest have experienced large-scale mutations, including some magical mutations.

The Forestry Protection Bureau needs forest rangers to provide corresponding data every once in a while to judge changes in the environment.

A1: Mirror Lake tributary, A2: Mushroom community, A3: Vine jungle

B1: Herd of Scary-Antlered Deer, B2: Shadow Moon Leopard (dangerous)
The above are several environments or biological communities in the northeast corner of the forest area that need to be observed. Among them, the B2 Shadow Moon Leopard is specially marked in red font by the Forestry Protection Bureau, which means that it belongs to the ranks of ferocious beasts and has extraordinary strength. Yu Ke is doing this Be extremely careful when observing.

The former forest hunter had already made a route plan, and Yu Ke quickly arranged today's itinerary.

First go to the tributary of Jinghu Lake, and then to the mushroom community. The two places are relatively close. If he runs fast enough, he can finish the run before noon. In the remaining time, he can go to the transfer station to pick up the supplies he purchased online last night. and take care of some business. Although this era is dubbed the "Catastrophe", after all, it is 2036, and information technology and logistics networks have developed to an extremely exaggerated level. That is, Yu Ke lives in Jinghu Forest, otherwise someone would have sent him home this morning. Goods delivered to your door.

Load your work route into your watch and put on the ranger hunter suit.

Arriving at the parking lot of the campground, Yu Ke first checked the status of the off-road vehicle to make sure it had enough fuel and the body was in good condition. Then he loaded Mandrill's body into the vehicle, wrapped it in a tarp and prepared to set off.

He couldn't handle such a large prey carcass.

Not only was there a lack of tools, but Yu Ke had no experience in dissecting mandrills, and its organs were very valuable. Yu Ke needed the money to buy new equipment and prepare for subsequent hunting. This was part of the reason why he went to the transfer station in the afternoon.

The transfer station is not just a material handover point for rangers and hunters.

It is also a large multi-purpose center in its own right.

It was not the Forestry Protection Bureau that opened the transfer station, but the Disaster Prevention General Administration of Danhang City.

It's open to all teams out and about exploring.

Nowadays, in addition to the huge cities with tens of millions of people and powerful official governments, most wild areas have produced huge populations of mutated animals and plants due to environmental disasters.

Although the human army is powerful, it cannot exterminate the beasts.

Not to mention that supernatural phenomena and strange creatures that are difficult for ordinary people to understand have begun to appear in some places.

Multiple encirclement and suppression attempts in the past two years have proven that as long as the disaster does not end, aimless killing will only create more ferocious monsters.

It was difficult for the government to take care of all aspects, so private hunters appeared, and the government was willing to help them.

The transfer station opened outside the city has a professional game processing team. You only need to pay a sum of money. They will process the mandrills according to Yu Ke's requirements, package them and preserve them perfectly. After Yu Ke finds customers, they can even Help with delivery.

With the sound of the engine, Yu Ke drove away from the camp and started today's work.

The first stop is the Mirror Lake tributary in the forest area.

According to the relevant task requirements of the Forestry Protection Bureau, Yu Ke had to drive a section of the tributary, collect water samples at various locations, and record and photograph the vegetation near the tributary.

Fortunately, the campground is not far from the destination and can be reached in about twenty minutes.

Yu Ke habitually turned on the radio in the car and tuned to the Disaster Prevention Bureau's exclusive channel to learn about the recent situation inside and outside Danhang City.

'This is the Danhang City Disaster Prevention General Bureau. Starting today, we will update the situation about this cold wave in real time on the official website. Please pay close attention to the general public and prepare the necessary materials for cold protection in advance. '

This cold wave seems to be particularly special, and the General Administration of Disaster Prevention has mentioned it for three consecutive days.

'Signs of water monster activity have been found in the inner rivers of Danhang City. Residents along the river are advised to avoid traveling at night in the near future. If you hear strange noises, please call the General Administration of Disaster Prevention immediately'

Environmental disasters will not be weakened in the slightest by the existence of cities.

The various catastrophic events that often occur in Danhang City are the best proof.

After listening to the radio for a while, just as Yu Ke was about to switch to the music channel to relax, the communication channel of the Forestry Protection Bureau suddenly intervened.

'Now play an emergency notice. All hunters must pay attention to the sky above the forest area during the execution of their missions. Once they hear cries for help, they should immediately track and report to the headquarters. Please note that the target is extremely dangerous and do not act rashly! '
