Chapter 41 Extreme Cold

The fifth day of the cold wave.

At this time, there are only two days left before the end of the cold wave given by the Danhang Meteorological Observatory.

Yu Ke's hibernation life is still going on.

In the early morning of this day, Yu Ke, who had just finished morning exercise, received a text message from the patrol team. The sender was An Saili, whom she had met twice before. She hoped that after the cold wave ended, Yu Ke could lead her team to the nest of the human-faced owl.

The human-faced owl was originally the target that the team she led needed to solve.

As a result, not only did they fail to complete the task, but they also almost caused the collapse of the Small Garden Workstation.

Although Yu Ke helped to solve the crisis, for her, her own dereliction of duty was irrefutable.

Therefore, after learning that the corpse of the human-faced owl had been listed as research material by the Small Garden Workstation, she hoped to go to the nest of the human-faced owl that the patrol team had been unable to find to investigate, at least to have a clearer understanding of this kind of monster.

Of course, An Saili made it clear in the text message that she would not let Yu Ke return empty-handed. At the same time, she sent a list of equipment within the patrol team, indicating that if Yu Ke liked anything, he could ask for any two items and she would personally deliver them to Yu Ke.

An Saili was so "sensible", Yu Ke did not pretend to be hypocritical and immediately agreed to her request. It was nothing more than leading the way.

Holding a cup of instant milk tea and sitting in the recliner placed in front of the window, Yu Ke looked at the raging snow and wind under the dim sky outside the window.

Recently, he liked the feeling of watching the snow in front of the window.

It was not for the poetic feeling, but he liked the feeling of watching the frozen world outside while hiding in the warm room.

But today's snow and wind seemed particularly bad. Yu Ke curled his lips and turned his eyes to the equipment list on the mobile phone screen.

The logistics of the patrol team are really not comparable to those shops in the transit station. Even if the equipment above is not clearly marked, Yu Ke can still feel their value, even if the list itself has been streamlined and some special equipment does not appear on it.

An Saili only listed the part that he can get for Yu Ke with his authority.

Frankly speaking, Yu Ke does not need much weapons now.

He is very good at using the newly updated sharp-toothed bow and arrow and Leviathan axe, and there is no perfect replacement in the list.

This opportunity to choose equipment from the patrol team is rare, and Yu Ke does not want to waste it.

His attention was quickly attracted by the combat uniforms.

Compared with the combat uniforms issued by the forest rangers, the configuration of the patrol team is obviously more luxurious. It’s a pity that the individual armor worn by the patrol members who I saw not long ago is no longer in the list, otherwise he really wants to get a set.

If nothing else, it’s all about being handsome.

Just as Yu Ke was struggling over what to choose, a message popped up on his phone and made him frown.

‘The weather station warned that the intensity of the cold wave will increase again at the end, and the temperature is expected to drop to minus 60 degrees. Please prepare for the cold in all forest patrol camps’

Fuck! Still coming?

Yu Ke sat up and looked out the window again.

Just now he felt that the weather outside was not right.

Now it seems that the cold wave is going to hit them hard before it ends!

Turned to the computer desk to check the data sent back by the thermometer outside.

It was clearly daytime, but the temperature dropped to minus 49 degrees, which made Yu Ke nervous immediately. He hurriedly changed into cold-proof clothes and prepared to go out to check the situation in the camp, and at the same time visit the frightened deer hiding from the wind and snow in the camp.

The blizzard environment of minus 50 to 60 degrees is very likely to defeat their self-protection, and he must respond.

Yu Ke, dressed neatly, opened the door.

At first glance, he saw the completely frozen ice and snow on the railing in front of the house.

After going down to the camp, Yu Ke went to check on the situation of the herd of frightened deer.

His worries were correct. The frightened deer in the camp were old and weak. The current ambient temperature was close to the limit they could bear. Most of their bodies were buried in the snow and they couldn't stop trembling.

The hay brought by the frightened deer king had long been consumed. In fact, even if there was any, it had now turned into ice.

Sensing Yu Ke's approach, only a few deer could still look up at him, blinking their eyes with difficulty, and spraying cold mist from their mouths and noses covered with ice. They wanted to call out, but in the end they could only lie back with their heads tilted.

Yu Ke did not hesitate and turned around and headed straight for the parking lot.

First, he drove his off-road vehicle and snowmobile to the snow in a corner of the camp, and then moved a few partitions originally used to repair the house to separate the parking lot on all sides.

He turned around and rushed into the hunting lodge. Except for the freezer containing food, he cleared out all the other sundries and put them in the back of the off-road vehicle or simply piled them in the corner of the camp. He also cleared a space in the power house after blocking the lines.

After doing all this, Yu Ke began to move the frightened deer.

The older frightened deer with larger bodies tried to squeeze into these three sheltered places. Even if they were crowded, at least the temperature in the house could allow them to survive the snowstorm.

Due to the large size of frightened deer, they quickly occupied the empty area of ​​the house in the camp. There were still five or six frightened deer cubs left, and they were already unconscious due to the cold.

Yu Ke had no choice but to carry them one by one on his shoulders and send them into the sentry tower.

If the house is dirty, we can find a way to clean it. It doesn't matter if it smells a bit. These cubs can be said to be the future hope of the herd of frightened deer. If they die here, it will undoubtedly be a great blow to the herd of frightened deer.

Moreover, Yu Ke has been raising them for a few days and has consumed a lot of food. If they are frozen to death in the wind and snow, all the previous efforts will be wasted!

Fortunately, Yu Ke has a strong physique and the vitality of the frightened deer cubs is also strong enough. They quickly recovered from the coma after entering the sentry tower house with a temperature of more than ten degrees.

The change in the environment made them panic and want to get up. They calmed down again when they saw the carrots handed by Yu Ke.

Rubbing the forehead of the frightened deer cub in front of him, Yu Ke did not stay in the house for a long time, but prepared to go down to distribute another round of food.

The food given by the small garden workstation is enough for Yu Ke to survive the entire cold wave. The remaining ones are worthless to him, and sufficient food can provide the frightened deer with sufficient heat to resist the extreme cold.

Returning to the hunting lodge, Yu Ke climbed over the bodies of the frightened deer and took out a large bag of green vegetables. He fed each frightened deer some until it was all empty, then picked up a bag of radishes and potatoes and left, heading to two other places.

Just as Yu Ke was busy feeding the frightened deer.

An uninvited guest strode in the snow outside the camp, with snow covering its bony torso, and four narrow arms dragging in the snow beside it, creating several gullies.

It raised its head, and its blood-red eyes locked onto the lights above the camp in front of it, like a mask-like hollow head.

This world does not allow light!
