The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 63 The restless atmosphere (please order first!)
"Arrived ahead, transfer station No. 3, thank you for riding."

The train arrived at the transfer station on time. There was a faint brake noise in his ears, and Yu Ke got up and left the carriage.

Step onto the platform.

The noise coming from behind and behind made him raise his eyebrows and look around, feeling quite surprised for a moment.

Less than two days have passed, and the number of hunting groups at the transfer station has increased significantly.

When Yu Ke was in the car, he could feel the restless atmosphere among the hunters in the same car. A large number of hunting groups were rushing to Jinghu Forest with unprecedented enthusiasm, as if there were some treasures waiting for them to discover.

It seems that the forestry department's plan to deliberately spread information in pursuit of Pandora is quite effective.

According to the information provided by Ansaili in the monster city in the morning.

Considering the negative impact Pandora, which has been listed as Strange Containment Object No. 087, has on the forest environment, the Forestry Protection Bureau decided to launch a large-scale search inside Jinghu Forest in order to find and contain it in the shortest possible time. Or completely eliminated.

However, the manpower of the Forestry Protection Bureau is limited after all, and the area inside Jinghu Forest is too huge.

Letting private hunting groups join the search operation has become the best solution to the problem.

On the one hand, once the Forestry Defense Bureau launches a large-scale operation, Pandora's news will never be hidden. Private hunting groups have always had their own intelligence channels. When they see the Forestry Defense Bureau's actions, they will inevitably inquire from various sources.

Instead of spreading various versions of rumors at that time, it is better for the Forestry Protection Bureau to provide guidance in advance and let the situation develop in the direction they expect.

On the other hand, Pandora's influence is too bad. All the Forest Protection Bureau wants is to find its location. To this end, it has even applied to the state agency for satellite detection. No matter which hunting group finally finds Pandora, as long as a battle breaks out , the Forestry Protection Bureau will definitely be informed.

After all, once Pandora appears again, the commotion it will create will definitely be huge.

To put it bluntly, the Forestry Protection Bureau wants private hunting groups to become their "hounds" for searching for Pandora.

After receiving the suitcase handed over by the flight attendant, Yu Ke took the escalator to the lobby of the transfer station.

There was no rush to drive back to the range camp.

The Forestry Protection Bureau has issued a set of testing tools to every forest patrol hunter, which is used to detect the flora and fauna, water and soil conditions in Jinghu Forest, and to confirm the pollution caused by Pandora. He must first go to the Forestry Protection Bureau at the transfer station. office to collect.

Although Yu Ke had no intention of just waiting for the Forest Defense Bureau to kill Pandora, these tools were also very important to him.

Used correctly, these detection tools can also be used to find Pandora.

Not only that, Yu Ke also bought a lot of things online in the past two days.

Entering the depths of Jinghu Forest is not a matter of just slapping your head and walking away.

Previously, I either followed the transportation team, or I went and came back the same day, but this time it was different.

Even Yu Ke couldn't guarantee that he could find Pandora in one day. A long stay was unavoidable, so he had to have something to survive in the deep forest.

Fortunately, as a newly promoted two-star hunter, he has this authority.

Through internal channels, it is easy to get a complete set of camping equipment at a discounted price, just go to the store to pick it up.

By the time Yu Ke loaded various equipment and supplies onto the off-road vehicle, it was already evening.

After closing the car door and starting the off-road vehicle, Yu Ke put the backpack he carried on the passenger side and took out a USB flash drive given to him by Aceri, which contained the route and detailed plan of the forestry protection bureau's operation. .

Looking through the car window at the vast Jinghu Forest in the distance, Yu Ke let out a sigh of relief.

Come back home!

Driving on forest roads.

On both sides are towering dense forests that are constantly retreating. The snow has just melted, and the brown and yellow tree trunks and the black and white ground complement each other.

Yu Ke operated the on-board computer with one hand and inserted the USB flash drive given by Aceri.

"Identity detection is in progress, ranger hunter No. 281 Yu Ke, verification completed, documents are being processed."

As the data in the USB flash drive was loaded into the computer, Yu Ke gradually understood the Forest Protection Bureau's plan.

The Forestry Protection Bureau used the research data in the small garden workstation to list multiple possible hiding places based on Pandora's characteristics.

Pandora's fear of bright light has been proven.

The weather has been sunny recently, which means Pandora has to hide in the shade to avoid direct sunlight.

With its size and phosphorescent shape, it would have been discovered by satellites if it had simply hidden under the shade of a tree. There were only two places where it could hide.

One is underground! One is a lake!
Although the former is dark enough, it also restricts Pandora's actions. Judging from its eagerness to pollute the Jinghu Forest, this guy does not seem to be willing to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

Only the last option is left - Mirror Lake!
The place where Pandora was first discovered was a stream in the forest, which shows that it can survive in water and is very familiar with using water flow to infect water, soil, and even animals and plants.

Therefore, the Forestry Protection Bureau determined that Pandora would most likely use Mirror Lake deep in the forest as a base and wait until night before moving around.

The crux of the matter lies in this.

This vast primitive jungle is named after "Jinghu Lake", which shows the importance of Jinghu Lake, which can be said to be the core of the entire forest.

It's not just a lake in the deep woods.

In fact, Jinghu Lake is a collective name for a large area of ​​water deep in the forest and connected by tributaries of the water network. Its area is extremely vast.

This is also the main reason why the Forestry Protection Bureau mobilized civilian hunting groups. They need manpower to explore the path, at least to find the water area where Pandora is hiding, so that they can locate it through satellites and call in the air force to eliminate it.

Yes, in order to eliminate Pandora, the Danhang City Government has contacted the nearest air force base. As long as the target is locked, military aircraft carrying special bright light missiles and various heavy-duty weapons of destruction will immediately take off and rush to the battlefield. This is also the reason why the Forestry Protection Bureau dares to disclose some information to the outside world.

In the final analysis, the state machinery at this stage is still enough to coerce everything. No matter how unruly the private hunting groups are, they have no choice but to retreat in the face of the activated state machinery.

There was a USB flash drive in the file bag that Anseli gave to Yu Ke, as well as several more suitable routes to Jinghu Lake set by the Forestry Protection Bureau. They were all planned based on the exploration of Jinghu Lake Forest over the years. Internal confidentiality.

This is the advantage of relying on official institutions.

When ordinary folk hunting groups enter the depths of Jinghu Forest, most of the time they have to rely on luck. What kind of terrain they will encounter along the way and what ferocious beasts they encounter all depend on the situation at the time. They often encounter various unexpected accidents.

On the other hand, the route map in Yu Ke's hand not only marked the terrain and landforms along the way, but also contained information about the ferocious beasts active in the area and forest resources that might come in handy.

Of course, this means that Yu Ke has been promoted to a two-star hunter and his strength has been recognized. In addition, he has the experience of confronting Pandora not long ago, otherwise this information would not be in his hands.

At this moment, Anseli sent a communication request, and Yu Ke raised his hand to answer the call.

"Have you arrived at the ranger camp?"

"It's about ten minutes' drive."

"I will ask the team members to bring you a satellite communication device later. If Pandora is found, please notify us at any time."

Although Yu Ke refused to act with the hunting team, he still had to shoulder corresponding responsibilities as a forest hunter. Ansaili needed Yu Ke to provide intelligence about the depths of the Jinghu Forest.

Anseli always felt that this guy who suddenly appeared had some special abilities and could always get involved in some special events.

Her intuition has always been spot on.

"No problem. Can I make it in time to order the equipment I set out to order tomorrow afternoon?"

Yu Ke never planned to fight Pandora alone. The previous ferocious beasts could be dealt with by conventional means, but Pandora obviously did not belong to this category and had to be dealt with by the Forest Defense Bureau as the main force.

Besides, what Yu Ke wants is just experience points, not risking his own wealth and life to fight the unknown terror. Now it should be called Containment 087's death battle.

Both professions [Forest Hunter] and [Investigator] can gain a large amount of experience in this operation.

"It's too late. I just got your data yesterday. It's impossible for the manufacturing bureau to complete the combat uniforms and a full set of bows and arrows in one day, especially the latter. You have a lot of requirements. I think it will take a while. I'm not sure how long it will take."

The reason why customized equipment is customized is that it must be specially modified according to Yu Ke's various data and needs.

If it can be done in a day or two, why is there any need for Yu Ke to fill in the rewards from the General Administration of Disaster Prevention?

Yu Ke understood the truth, but he was still a little disappointed when he thought that he could not wear new equipment during this operation.

Just as he was about to close the communication, he heard Anseli add,

"If the equipment can be completed during the mission, I can have the helicopter take it and airdrop it to you."

"Haha, thank you very much!"

If you want to get the equipment to Yu Ke as quickly as possible, airdrop is really the only option.

Communication hang up.

Yu Ke took out the USB flash drive and put it back into his backpack. Not far ahead was the forest patrol camp. He couldn't wait to return to the sentry tower house.

However, just when Yu Ke arrived at the open space near the camp.

Also appearing in front of the forest patrol camp was a large RV with a defensively modified exterior.

It was parked on the left side of the camp. There were people in the car moving things down. At the same time, there were two people approaching the forest patrol camp, looking around as if they were looking for something.

Seeing this scene, Yu Ke clapped the horn directly.

He drove the off-road vehicle to a position of more than ten meters and then stopped. He took out the sharp-toothed bow and arrow from behind the seat before getting out of the vehicle and shouted,

"This is the forest patrol camp of the Forestry Protection Bureau. Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Yu Ke was just on guard and did not launch an attack, because from the actions of these people, it did not look like they planned to break into the camp.

The several sleeping bags and tent stands placed next to the car are the most visual evidence.

If there is an intruder, there is no need to waste time taking out such camping equipment.

Sure enough, after seeing Yu Ke's uniform and the Forest Protection Bureau logo on the off-road vehicle's paint, someone immediately came out of the RV with his hands raised, indicating that he was not a threat and said,
"We are a private hunting group and want to stay overnight outside the camp."

The private hunting group and the Forestry Protection Bureau have a cooperative relationship to a certain extent.

Therefore, in the absence of suitable camping spots, the campsites stationed by forest rangers are the first choice night camping spots for civilian hunting groups.

If you are willing to pay a sum of money, you may be able to receive material supplies or medical support.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the private hunting group they belong to has registered on the official website of the Forestry Protection Bureau and the member information can be found. Otherwise, it is never a good idea to approach the forest patrol camp without permission.

After all, those poaching organizations also call themselves private hunting groups.

Not long ago, Yu Ke encountered poachers who wanted to kill him to replenish supplies.

The hunting group in front of him seemed to have just entered Jinghu Forest. It had plenty of supplies and behaved normally. After a brief consideration, Yu Ke put down the sharp-toothed bow and arrow and asked to see their hunting group ID.

After successfully confirming their identities, he allowed these people to spend the night next to the camp.
