The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters

Chapter 66 Suspected hiding place

In the early morning, it was just dawn.

Yu Ke rode a frightened deer to the tributary of Jinghu Lake.

He took off the satchel hanging on the deer's saddle and patted the deer's back to signal it to rest.

The saddle that was ordered at the transfer station for extra money was rushed out yesterday. It is really helpful for riding. The Jinghorn Deer can now help bear some of the sundries, so Yu Ke does not have to carry everything.

Stepping onto the ice alone, the cold wind blew the snow into pieces and stained the surface of Yu Ke's boots.

Imitating the ice fishing technique of not long ago, you can use your ability to control wind and snow to melt holes in the ice.

Yu Ke squatted half-crouched on the ice, put the test tube tied with a string in his hand into the tributary, filled it with some river water, and then lifted it up.

The mutated mandrill discovered last night has been brought back by the Forestry Protection Bureau, and it should still be on the autopsy table. He was a little worried about the infection of the water and soil outside the forest, so he got up early to check it out.

Open your bag, take out a detector that looks like a thermos flask with an openable middle section, and fill it with test tubes.

Press the instrument switch.

The probe deep inside the test tube begins to glow.

Yu Ke's eyes stayed on the indicator light on the top of the detector.

Based on Pandora's special reaction to strong light, the General Administration of Disaster Prevention developed this tester. If there are infected substances in the water, the indicator light will emit different colors of light according to the degree of infection.

green!

The test results made Yu Ke relieved.

Facts have proved that Webmaster He's speculation is accurate, Pandora is not that capable.

It is impossible to expand the contaminated area to hundreds of kilometers in just a few days, at least Pandora cannot.

Thinking about it this way, the mutated mandrill was probably infected in other forest areas and moved around here.

Or is it controlled by Pandora, deliberately carrying pollution sources through the jungle, hoping to destroy the nearby ecological environment first?

Yo~

A familiar voice came from behind.

Yu Ke turned around and looked back, and found that the King of Frightened-Antlered Deer had appeared at the lakeside at some unknown time. He was checking the saddle claws on the back of another Frightened-Antlered Deer. The two came together and hissed from time to time, probably communicating about the recent situation. .

After dumping the tested river water, Yu Ke put away the testing instruments and returned to the shore.

He took out a carrot from the deer saddle and handed it to the Jinghorn Deer King, who lowered his head and ate it very naturally.

"Has anything strange happened outside the forest recently?"

Yu Ke gently stroked the back of the Jinghorn Deer King, helped it remove the dead leaves hanging from its hair, and asked.

During this period of time together, Yu Ke gradually realized that the Jinghorn Deer King could actually understand what he meant to a certain extent.

It's not that the Jinghorn Deer King can understand his words, but that he can form some kind of mental communication with the help of super powers.

It's just that because Yu Ke doesn't have this ability, most of the time it's the Jinghorn Deer King who receives information and gives feedback.

What happened with the Shadow Moon Leopard last night reminded Yu Ke.

Compared to humans like him, the alien beasts living in the Jinghu Forest are obviously more likely to detect changes in the environment.

The Jinghorn Deer King was chewing a carrot, as if thinking about something. After a while, he lowered his head and rubbed Yu Ke's face to signal him to look at the broken snow on the river beach next to him.

When Yu Ke looked over there, the antlers suddenly shimmered.

In the next second, Bingxue was kneaded into the shape of a leopard, going around to kill the beasts made of grass roots and broken leaves, and Yu Ke also noticed that the Jinghorn Deer King deliberately made them confused when kneading the latter.

"The Shadow Moon Leopard is hunting those infected mutated creatures"

Seeing this vivid scene, Yu Ke immediately realized what the alarming deer king meant.

As the king of the deer herd, it pays attention to the overlords on the outskirts of the forest. After all, the deer herd is also technically on the latter's diet.

"As expected. I understand what you mean. You should be careful these days, especially those deformed ferocious beasts. Try to avoid contact with them. Use your super powers to prevent them from polluting the forest."

Yu Ke turned around to summon the Jinghorn Deer, jumped onto the saddle, and used its height to reach out and touch the forehead of the Jinghorn Deer King, reminding him.

If possible, Yu Ke would of course prefer to have the Jinghorn Deer King accompany him into the depths of Jinghu Forest. The latter's superpowers can help him in various environments, and the cooperation between the two is more tacit.

However, the situation outside the forest is indeed not optimistic now.

Pandora seems to be spreading the source of pollution consciously. The Frightened Deer King must protect his own group, otherwise once the deer are contaminated with this extremely disgusting and weird color, the consequences will be disastrous.

After completing the inspection of the forest periphery, Yu Ke reported the results to the Forest Protection Bureau and returned to the forest patrol camp to make final preparations before departure.

As soon as he approached the forest patrol camp, Yu Ke saw that the hunting group stationed outside the camp last night was already packing their things.

After asking, they learned that they had planned to set off to the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest.

Although the young people in the hunting group were all thinking about the treasures of heaven and earth, the leader obviously had a clear self-awareness and a clear goal. He took this opportunity to hunt a few ferocious beasts deep in the Jinghu Forest and then retreated.

As for the treasure that everyone is looking for, if you are lucky enough to come across it, you will naturally try to seize it. On the other hand, if you don't find it, don't force it. Your own safety comes first.

They are just a B-level hunting group and must be self-aware.

You must know that there is no such thing as law or order in the depths of Jinghu Forest. In order to compete for natural resources and treasures, there are many hunting groups willing to be ruthless, not to mention that there are multiple A-level hunting groups participating this time. There are extraordinary people in charge.

The group leader also specially invited Yu Ke to participate in this operation, saying that the profits could be distributed according to contributions.

However, Yu Ke refused without hesitation and only agreed to let them park the car in the camp.

The environment deep in the Jinghu Forest is very difficult to walk on, and driving is even more impossible. Ordinary hunting groups can only choose to walk.

Watch them leave. Yu Ke did not follow in a hurry, but took a final inventory of supplies in the sentry tower.

He was acting alone and was accompanied by a frightened deer, so there was no need to compete for time.

Letting the private hunting group help him explore the path is the most correct choice.

Wait until lunch.

Take a bath and feel your best.

Yu Ke then put on his luggage, summoned the frightened deer, and went deep into the Jinghu Forest.

呲~呲~

The fist-sized larvae struggled to dig out of the frozen soil, squirming and trying to climb up the nearest fern stem.

Before it could stretch its plump body, its sharp red beak descended from the sky and picked it up like a bean. The pheasant, which had a navy blue crest and was almost as big as a suitcase, raised its neck and swallowed it.

Then he seemed to notice something, turned his head sideways, blinked his eyelids, turned around and rushed into the dense bushes nearby.

The frightened-antlered deer pushed aside the banana leaf-like fern leaves, stepped lightly on the ground with its four feet, and carried Yu Ke forward.

Even in winter, the environment in the forest still shows amazing greenery. Whether it is the wild birds and animals that can be seen everywhere or the ferns that still survive the snow-covered cold wave and are rejuvenated, they can make the human body feel refreshed. You will see the amazing vitality that this forest burst out in the era of cataclysm.

At this time, Yu Ke was extremely glad that he had chosen to take the frightened deer into the depths of Jinghu Forest.

As a mutated creature, the Jinghorn Deer is already quite large. Yu Ke even sat cross-legged on the deer saddle, but it still looked very small when walking in this primitive jungle where everything seemed to have grown bigger.

It is conceivable that if one were to act alone, he would not even be able to see the way forward clearly, let alone speed up.

No wonder those who dare to enter the depths of Jinghu Forest are basically hunting groups.

Occasionally there is a lone hunter, and he has to be an extraordinary person to start.

If an ordinary person breaks into the depths of Jinghu Forest alone, he will face the true "Green Hell"!

He took out a radish from the side of the deer saddle and fed it to the frightened deer. Yu Ke straightened up and opened the watch he had just received.

Different from the ones issued internally by forest rangers, this is the new equipment sent by Anseli this morning.

Its watch, which has a built-in satellite communication and positioning device, can not only communicate with Axelis at any time, but also has a route map loaded in advance, so that Yu Ke can always know his current location and how to get to the third suspected hiding place.

The Forestry Protection Bureau analyzed Pandora's movement trajectory and set up five suspected hiding spots around Jinghu Lake. They are basically lakes, swamps and the like. Analysts believe that Pandora is likely to be hiding in them. somewhere.

After checking the route, Yu Ke chose suspected hiding spot No. 3.

This point is closest to him, and the route is easier to walk. There is no need to cross swamps or some dangerous areas that have been initially identified.

Use your watch to confirm your current location. There is a mountain stream not far ahead. You can reach it in about half an hour. It is a good resting place.

Yu Ke would rather rest by the river than in a dense forest area with blocked vision.

Although the chances of encountering ferocious beasts near mountain streams will increase, the map shows that no ferocious beasts similar to the Shadow Moon Leopard have been found in this area so far, and the rest are within the scope of Yu Ke's ability to deal with them.

Yu Ke doesn't mind hunting on his way to find Pandora.

In fact, this was part of his plan.

The new characteristics of the ranger hunter require him to hunt special individuals in order to obtain profits, and the depths of the Jinghu Forest are filled with all kinds of strange and strange beasts. For Yu Ke, this is a treasure waiting to be developed.

As long as the hunt goes well, his growth in strength is a sure thing.

Not only that, the characteristics of the professional label system determine that as long as Yu Ke participates in this Pandora incident, the two professions [Forest Hunter] and [Investigator] will continuously gain experience.

In fact, these two days of action have already increased the experience of the [Investigator] profession by more than half. As long as more key clues are found in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest, Bao Buqi will be able to obtain his first trait before confronting Pandora.

This is quite important to Yu Ke.

He knew the danger of Pandora, let alone a head-on confrontation. Even just looking at her for a short time at the small garden workstation still made him feel strongly uncomfortable.

The mental problems of many researchers are the best proof.

Based on previous experience, the first trait generated by the [Investigator] profession must have a clear direction, which is likely to help him gain a certain advantage when fighting against such unknown terrors.

Yu Ke never thought of solving Pandora on his own.

But even if it is to find the latter's hiding place, I am afraid that the dangers faced will not be less.

‘It’s best to find another infected mutated creature deep in the Mirror Lake Forest, so that you can gain enough professional experience. ’

With this thought in his mind, Yu Ke gently pinched the deer's belly with his legs, and the latter immediately understood and accelerated forward.

There will be more later
