The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

The transport team left the forest road.

After nearly an hour and a half of trekking, we officially entered the depths of Jinghu Forest.

Since then the environment has changed dramatically.

If the periphery of Jinghu Forest can be considered a relatively normal forest landscape, but the beasts look a bit strange and the trees grow taller, then from the moment the transport team crosses the boundary, what appears to them is more like tens of thousands. The primitive jungle years ago!

Everything here seems to be amplified by invisible forces.

Even in the early winter when the cold wave is approaching, there are still large areas of three-meter-high dark green ferns growing everywhere in the forest. The height of the trees is often hundreds of meters, and the bark of the trees is covered with moss or thick vines. Worms like small snakes crawled among them, insects the size of an adult's fist, and insects that had never been seen before flew back and forth.

I don’t know where the nutrients come from to allow them to grow like this.

The advantages of alienated yak are undoubtedly revealed in this environment.

Normal people can't see the way forward clearly in this environment. The wide leaves of ferns and raised roots on the ground make it difficult to move forward. The huge alienated yak is an excellent platform.

Their height when on all fours is generally more than three meters, and their backs are even wider, just like elephants. They can accommodate multiple seats so that transport team members do not have to walk in the forest.

Phew~ Phew~

Two arrows shot through the air and nailed the giant centipede that poked its head out not far to the left of the team to the tree trunk.

Yu Ke half-crouched on the seat with a sharp-toothed bow and arrow in hand, signaling Zhang Renqi with his eyes to put down the rifle with a silencer in his hand.

"It is best not to use firearms unless necessary. Silencers can certainly reduce the possibility of being discovered, but smoke can easily attract attention."

In order to ensure that the materials arrived at the "Little Garden" workstation smoothly, the transportation team sent by the General Administration of Disaster Prevention was undoubtedly an elite one. Almost everyone in the seven-member team had received professional training and extremely rigorous training, and their combat effectiveness was beyond doubt.

However, this does not mean that they can travel unimpeded deep in the Jinghu Forest. Yu Ke, a forest hunter, was asked to cooperate in order to help them avoid unnecessary troubles and ensure the efficiency and safety of transportation.

"What a handsome archery technique. You can lift the bow from a distance of ten meters and shoot two consecutive shots, which directly penetrate the centipede's head and body. There is no one I know who is better than you!"

Zhang Renqi looked at Yu Ke in surprise, his eyes especially resting on the bow and arrow in his hand, and praised.

"The professional requirements of a ranger hunter are nothing special. My marksmanship is terrible."

Yu Ke sat back in the chair, deliberately looked around, then changed the topic with a smile,

"Speaking of it, this is the first time I have personally entered the depths of Jinghu Forest. It is really magical. If I hadn't walked this way, I even doubted whether I had traveled to the wild world tens of thousands of years ago in my dream."

This is the truth.

It's not like Yu Ke has never seen videos of the depths of Jinghu Forest before, but this is a completely different feeling from being in it.

Sitting on the back of the alienated yak, his eyes passed over the members of the transport team on the backs of the other two yaks.

Judging from their movements and expressions, they were obviously in a state of high tension and alert, which was perfectly normal.

There are no forest roads or equipment installed by the Forestry Protection Bureau.

In a trance, civilization faded away, the atmosphere of barbarism spread everywhere, and even this world became strange.

Human beings here seem to be little different from those insects.

If there were no weapons at their side, a wild beast could come out and snatch them away. Anyone accustomed to the civilized world would have a stress reaction in such an environment. This was the main reason why Zhang Renqi subconsciously raised his gun just now.

Looking back at Yu Ke, he found that he unexpectedly adapted to the current environment, and even felt that his body had been released from restraints and became free.

Needless to say, it must be the quality of the heart of the wilderness that is at work. Not only does Yu Ke not feel panicked in this environment, but he feels like a fish in water.

"This is not like your first time entering the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest."

Because the two of them were riding an alienated yak together, Zhang Renqi could feel Yu Ke's relaxation.

Frankly speaking, this mission is very new to Yu Ke.

Sitting on the back of the alienated yak, reclining on the seat, the bow and arrow and long-handled ax were placed by his side, holding a thermos cup in his hand, and taking a sip of the milk tea that had been brewed in advance from time to time.

It's not a lazy relaxation, but a very wonderful state.

Just like the state of a boxer before punching, it seems that the whole body is relaxed, but in fact, the moment the punch is struck, it is like lightning and thunder, killing with one blow!

"Hey, if you stay in Jinghu Forest all day and your daily job is to drive around in the forest, you will get used to it."

"maybe"

In response to Yu Ke's response, Zhang Renqi just shrugged without arguing, and instead took out the locator to check the transportation route.

There is no network signal deep in the Jinghu Forest, which does not prevent Zhang Renqi from downloading the relevant information of the entire line in advance, and at the same time using a special wireless locator to mark his location and the "small garden" workstation.

"How far do we have to go?"

Yu Ke paid attention to the movement around him and asked.

"It takes about half an hour to reach the workstation, but the environment nearby is a bit strange."

Zhang Renqi glanced at the route map, then straightened up and looked around. The confusion on his face was obvious.

"I remember that when I came here before, the surroundings were not like this. In order to ensure the safety of the work station, the Disaster Prevention Bureau would regularly clear away ferocious beasts and obstacles on the transportation routes. Occasionally, they would spray chemicals to inhibit the growth of vegetation on the routes. Artificial manufacturing The route is clear, but as you can see now, the entire road is blocked by these ferns. "

The location of the "Little Garden" workstation is destined to make its internal staff isolated most of the time. However, those who are willing to come here to perform research tasks are basically the treasures within the Disaster Prevention Bureau. To protect their safety, the Disaster Prevention Bureau invested Lots of resources.

Regularly clear away threatening beasts nearby and modify the environment on a small scale.

This is the reason why Yu Ke and his party didn't encounter many ferocious beasts along the way. Under normal circumstances, how could there be only a few centipedes about two meters long in the depths of Jinghu Forest?

Zhang Renqi had carried out two transportation missions before, and he knew the environment along the way, which was completely different from what it was like now.

"Are you saying these plants have grown recently?"

Yu Ke originally thought that the transportation route was just like this, relying entirely on alienated yaks to clear the way, but now it seems that he was wrong.

"There is no problem with the route we are traveling on. I just took people to spread the pesticide half a month ago. The growth of ferns here should be inhibited. Generally, the height is about half a meter. It is normal, let alone insects of that size. Never appeared."

In the middle of his words, Zhang Renqi suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a high tree branch.

Looking along his line of sight, Yu Ke twitched the corner of his mouth and saw a giant spider web with a diameter of more than ten meters spread among the branches high up. Giant spiders with yellow and green patterns all over their bodies were entangled in it, making those who looked at it feel hairy all over.

"Are you saying that there has been some kind of change in this area recently?"

Yu Ke retracted his gaze and asked.

"Yes, it may be researched in the 'Little Garden'. Let's go quickly, we will be at the workstation soon."

Zhang Renqi, who was paying attention to the giant spider, subconsciously responded, but stopped mid-sentence, smiled awkwardly, and did not continue the topic.
