Chapter 138 Snow Camping
Wild camping is not easy.
Especially in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest in the cold winter.
The ferocious beasts wandering in the forest due to food shortage, with temperatures often reaching minus 20 degrees Celsius and raging wind and snow, are enough to devour any hunter who thinks he is skilled in survival skills.
If you want to survive in this environment, there is only one hard indicator, strong enough strength!
If given a choice, Yu Ke would of course hope to stay comfortably in the camp, Maodong, but who let his camp be blown up by those dogs in the Nightmare organization?
If you don’t want to travel back and forth for several hours, you can only choose to camp and monitor the macrophage vine forest.
Fortunately, his own strength and the storage capacity of the imprint space are here, and Yu Ke has more room for camping in the wild than he imagined.
nine in the morning.
Yu Ke, wearing a tan windproof coat made of long-maned bear fur, returned to the hillside where he originally explored the giant vine forest.
The weather during a cold wave basically alternates between rain and snow.
The wind and snow in the depths of the Jinghu Forest these past two days were not large, but lasted for a very long time, and only stopped intermittently twice.
At the top of the cliff with an altitude of nearly 500 meters, the power of the wind and snow was stronger than expected. Yu Ke gathered up his billowing bearskin coat and looked out. The sky and the earth were completely white.
He took out the telescope he just bought last night from the imprint space and pointed it at the giant vine forest covered by wind and snow in front of him.
Compared with the last time I came here, the size of the giant vine forest has increased by nearly one-third. The flower bones used as hunting weapons look stronger and stronger. They stand high in the jungle and cannot be shaken by wind and snow. .
Even in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest, a plant with such tenacious vitality is extremely rare. Coupled with its hunting state, it is difficult not to worry that if it really causes a disaster like the Hessen Tower attack, What a horrific scene it would be.
Turn the switch with your index finger to activate the observation module inside the telescope.
Soon a series of data appeared in the upper right corner of Yu Ke's vision, including the temperature of the current environment, wind speed, the distance between him and the giant vine forest, etc.
The most important thing is the size of the giant vine forest. After preliminary observation with the telescope, its coverage area is close to 3 square kilometers. This kind of spread scale is not normal without even thinking about it.
If it spreads at this speed, once it enters the hunting state, all the creatures in the surrounding forest may be destroyed. Even tiger-level ferocious beasts may only end up being devoured.
In fact, according to the forestry protection bureau's monitoring during this period, the animal populations in this area have either migrated or suffered extinction. It can be said that the emergence of the giant vine forest is destroying the existing ecological balance.
This is also the main reason why the Forest Protection Bureau is considering completely destroying it through bombing.
Yu Ke came here to find out what was going on under the giant vine forest, and to give advice to the Forest Defense Bureau.
After the preliminary observation, Yu Ke put away the telescope and turned around to build a campsite.
Considering that some equipment needs to be installed and the campsite needs to last for several days, this time the camping site must not just find a space among the rocks to spread out blankets like last time. That kind of environment is only suitable for short-term shelter from the wind and snow, not for a long time. Stay.
Yu Ke would not torture himself like this.
His eyes passed over the messy boulders around him, and he quickly had an idea in his mind.
The last time Yu Ke came here, he had to think of finding gaps between the piles of rocks to escape the wind and rain. Now that he could hold a trace of the dragon's blood, his transformed body was no longer the same. His soaring physical fitness allowed him to lift a ton-heavy boulder. No more difficulty at all.
He took out a portable lighting lamp from the mark and placed it next to him. The bright yellow light illuminated the gloomy sky.
Yu Ke took off his overcoat, which was a bit obstructive, folded it and put it aside. The lining was a special combat uniform, which not only had excellent thermal insulation effect, but also had both defense and flexibility. It was specially supplied by the Disaster Prevention Bureau and is not available on the market. Can't buy it at all.
He casually lifted the stone in front of him from the ground, taking this opportunity to test his own strength.
From light to heavy, Yu Ke moved huge stones covered with frost and snow from various places and concentrated them on the flat land in the middle of the cliff. Building a stone house was sheer nonsense. He planned to build a circular stone wall here, leaving only a gap. for him to enter and exit.
In this way, the cold wind high on the cliff can be protected, and it will be much easier to set up the tent and deal with the remaining snow.
Most of the rocks on the cliff are irregular. At this time, the benefits of the Leviathan Ax are revealed. The strength of the strengthened Leviathan Ax has been tested by Yu Ke. It can be used with wind and snow control to cut steel. Problem, flattening rocks is not a problem.
It took half an hour to build a stone wall, and another half an hour to build a tent that could accommodate two people for normal camping. At the same time, using the stone wall as a support, a rain- and snow-proof tarpaulin was arranged on the top of the tent to avoid snow or rain. Affects the tent.
I have to say that the only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive, and the quality is indeed guaranteed. He bent down to lift the door curtain, got into the tent that had been set up, and after simply organizing the internal structure, the wind and snow were isolated, and Yu Ke could clearly feel it. The temperature inside the tent is rising.
Next is the arrangement of various equipment. Multiple layers of cold and moisture-proof mats are laid on the ground, leaving only part of the area for placing the wood stove and smoke exhaust pipes, where a fire will be lit for cooking.
I won’t go into too much detail about the subsequent tent layout. In short, Yu Ke will not treat himself badly. There is a mark space nearby. He even prepared high-end folding beds for resting, as well as complete sets of bedding.
By the time all this work was done, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Yu Ke lit the wood stove in the tent.
Place two special luxury cans on top and unwrap a bag of potato chips.
The wind and snow were howling outside, but the temperature inside the tent was quite comfortable, and the bright yellow warm light projected by the portable lamp illuminated everything.
He picked up the remote control and turned on the projection equipment on the side of the tent. The image of the giant vine jungle captured by the observation camera installed on the cliff immediately appeared in front of him. Yu Ke didn't need to go out. He could have a panoramic view of the vine forest while sitting in the tent. .
The main function of this set of equipment is to monitor the giant vine forest at night. Yu Ke does not plan to huddle in the tent all day. After eating, he will go deep into the vine forest to investigate the situation at close range, and take photos of the new hunt. Diary series video material.
Based on previous experience, the Giant Vine Forest will not attack intruders as long as it is not during hunting time.
Relying on the "teacher" profession's ability to detect and fill in gaps, as long as there is enough time, Yu Ke can observe various abnormal phenomena in the vine forest and figure out the origin of these crazy growing vines.
Leaning against the folding chair, Yu Ke faced the tent curtain. Through the window, he could see the mountain forest shrouded in wind and snow outside.
Jingle bell bell
The cell phone rings.
Glancing at the number, it was Nie Xiaoyu, the operator from the Forestry Protection Bureau.
After all, Anseli is the captain of the hunting team three, and usually has to go on missions. Therefore, after Yu Ke was promoted to a two-star hunter, the Forest Defense Bureau arranged an operator for him. After the attack on the Haisen Building, Nie Xiaoyu He even became a dedicated operator.
The job content is very simple, only responsible for information communication between Yu Ke and the Forestry Protection Bureau.
"I have arrived near the Giant Phage Vine Forest. I will stay here for a while to figure out the situation in the Vine Forest."
After answering the phone, Yu Ke went straight to the point. He had already contacted the Forestry Protection Bureau before setting off.
"The growth of the macrophage vines is a bit weird. I need to observe it closely. If I find anything, I will contact you."
"Minister Zhao asked whether it was necessary to dispatch bombers. If there is a need in this regard, he must communicate with the military in advance."
As an agency under the Disaster Prevention Bureau, the Forestry Defense Bureau does not have the authority to directly mobilize military bombers. Matters in this area need to be reported to the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and the macrophage vine forest is currently receiving great attention from the Disaster Prevention Bureau.
In other words, the senior officials of the Disaster Prevention Bureau are now waiting for Yu Ke to send news back.
In this matter, they 100% trust Yu Ke's judgment.
"I'm not sure. I haven't checked it up close yet. I'll get back to you tomorrow."
Yu Ke actually prefers direct bombing, and is the simplest and crudest way to break the situation by using firepower to cover the situation.
However, considering that what is hidden in this giant vine forest is still a mystery, it cannot be ruled out that it is the same type of existence as Pandora. It may be difficult to cause damage to it at the physical level, and rash actions may make the situation uncontrollable.
Therefore, Yu Ke decided to try to find the core of the giant vine forest first, at least to find out what it was. If there was a subsequent bombing, there would be a clear target on which to focus firepower.
After eating potato chips and cans, Yu Ke, who had fully recovered his physical strength, picked up the Leviathan Ax and Black Thorn Bow and arrows and left the tent, heading for the vine forest.
The weather in the depths of Jinghu Forest is changeable. It is still snowing now, and it will rain heavily in half an hour.
So Yu Ke asked Nie Xiaoyu to keep an eye on the weather forecast.
Once you notice a rainfall trend in this area, tell him immediately.
Braving the wind and snow to arrive at the Giant Vine Forest, Yu Ke turned on the shooting mode on his new helmet to record the scene in front of him from a first-person perspective.
The cold wave showed no signs of withering in the vine forest, and their vitality was unusually strong.
Yu Ke believes that this is most likely related to the fact that they feed on the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts.
The last time he went deep into the vine forest, Yu Ke's target was the flower bones. By cutting them, he found the blood and flesh slurry flowing in the stems, which was obtained after hunting and digestion.
At that time, Yu Ke thought that the macrophage vines obtained nutrients in this way, so that they could reproduce the population at a terrifying speed. However, the recent attack proved that the energy collected by the macrophage vines from the outside seemed to have a clear direction of convergence. .
The leader of the Nightmare organization, the Lord of the Horse Altar, deliberately released the macrophage vines in order to use this characteristic to gather a large amount of flesh and blood energy to complete his own transformation.
The crux of the matter lies in this.
The flesh and blood energy accumulated so far in the macrophage vine forest in front of me is undoubtedly a hundred times that of the underground laboratory.
If they also have a unified destination, what kind of existence should be nurtured in it?
