Chapter 6 Observation Point
Early morning.
The alarm clock at six o'clock woke Yu Ke up on time.
He got up and washed up, turned on the rice cooker for porridge, put on light sportswear and left the sentry tower.
The cool morning breeze in late autumn dispelled the remaining sleepiness.
The sky in the distance of Jinghu Forest was dark blue.
The morning glow was beginning to appear, and the weather was good today.
He walked down the stairs to the lower camp, warmed up in a familiar way, and then found a heavy wooden stake of about 200 kilograms in the corner of the pile of materials, and made two grippable traps on the left and right with thick ropes.
Since the fitness equipment had not yet arrived, he could only use the homemade ones for a while.
He took turns doing squats, push-ups, and sit-ups. When his body was completely warmed up, he rushed out of the camp carrying the wooden stake and began to run around the field outside the camp to get familiar with his strengthened body and check the condition of the camp protection net.
The more he challenged his limits, the more Yu Ke was amazed by the gains brought by the trait [Heart of the Wilderness].
The description of this trait in the occupation label system is very brief, and Yu Ke only understood its meaning after experiencing it personally.
On the one hand, it is an all-round strengthening of physical fitness.
Not only strength and speed, in the process of long-distance running with weights, Yu Ke can clearly feel that his physical strength, cardiopulmonary function, balance, etc. have been greatly improved.
The exercise intensity that was enough to make his throat smoke and muscles tremble in the past is nothing to him now.
On the other hand, it is a magical recovery ability.
Yu Ke, who is in the wilderness, can clearly feel that he is absorbing natural energy every minute and every second. Its effect is not much different from breathing to recover blood and endurance in some games. As long as it is not a fatal injury, he can fully recover if he is given time!
Of course, if it is a serious injury such as a broken bone, the recovery time will take at least ten days and half a month.
After more than half an hour of high-intensity exercise, when he returned to the camp, the sky was bright and the golden sun was rising slowly.
After taking a shower, Yu Ke took his bowl of porridge to the computer, opened a bag of pickled mustard and salted duck eggs, and ate the braised rabbit meat that he had not finished yesterday, and looked through today's work log.
Patrol hunters do not have a particularly fixed working time, and generally follow the tasks assigned by the Forestry Bureau.
For example, Yu Ke is a newly employed patrol hunter, and he just killed a special mandrill yesterday, so the first task assigned to him by the Forestry Bureau was not difficult.
'Patrol the forest environment, collect data from various observation points, and complete it within three days. '
The task description on the log is very simple. After all, it is for newly employed patrol hunters, and the main purpose is to let people familiarize themselves with the environment first.
Yu Ke, who has been trained, only glanced and knew what he should do.
The so-called 'observation points' are actually several special environmental areas in the northeast corner of the Mirror Lake Forest, which he is responsible for.
Due to the impact of the catastrophe, the animals and plants in the Mirror Lake Forest have undergone large-scale mutations, including some magical variants.
The Forestry Bureau needs the rangers to provide corresponding data every once in a while to judge the changes in the environment.
A1: Mirror Lake Branch, A2: Mushroom Community, A3: Vine Jungle
B1: Horror Deer, B2: Shadow Moon Leopard (dangerous)
The above are several environments or biological communities that need to be observed in the Northeast Corner Forest Area. Among them, the Shadow Moon Leopard in B2 is specially marked in red font by the Forestry Bureau, which means that it belongs to the ranks of fierce beasts and has extraordinary strength. Yu Ke must be extra careful when observing.
The previous ranger has made a route plan, and Yu Ke quickly arranged today's itinerary.
Go to the Mirror Lake Branch first, and then go to the mushroom community. These two places are close. If the speed is fast enough, you can finish before noon. In the remaining time, he can go to the transfer station to pick up the supplies purchased online last night and handle some affairs.
Although this era is called the "Great Cataclysm", it is 2036 after all, and information technology and logistics networks have developed to an extremely exaggerated degree. Yu Ke lives in Jinghu Forest, otherwise someone should have delivered goods to his door this morning.
Load the work route into the watch and change into the forest ranger hunter suit.
Arriving at the camp parking lot, Yu Ke first checked the status of the off-road vehicle, confirmed that the fuel was sufficient and the body was in good condition, and then carried the body of the mandrill into the car, wrapped it with a tarpaulin and prepared to set off.
He couldn't handle such a large prey body.
Not only was there a shortage of tools, Yu Ke had no experience in dissecting mandrills, and its organs were very valuable. Yu Ke needed the money to buy new equipment to prepare for future hunting. This was part of the reason for going to the transfer station in the afternoon.
The transfer station is not just a material handover point for forest rangers.
It is also a large multi-functional center in itself.
The transfer station was not opened by the Forest Defense Bureau, but by the Disaster Prevention Bureau of Danhang City.
It is open to all teams going out to explore.
Nowadays, except for giant cities with a population of tens of millions and strong official governments, most wild areas have a large number of mutant plant and animal populations due to environmental disasters.
Although the human army is powerful, it cannot reach the level of extinction of animal groups.
Not to mention that some places have begun to see supernatural phenomena and strange creatures that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
The many attempts to encircle and suppress in the past two years have proved that as long as the disaster does not end, aimless killing will only create more ferocious monsters.
It is difficult for the authorities to take care of all aspects, so there are folk hunters, and the authorities are also happy to help them.
There is a professional prey processing team inside the transfer station outside the city. You only need to pay a sum of money, and they will process the mandrills according to Yu Ke’s requirements, package them and preserve them perfectly. Later, when Yu Ke finds customers, they can even help ship them.
With the sound of the engine, Yu Ke drove out of the camp and started today's work.
The first stop is the Jinghu tributary in the forest area.
According to the relevant task requirements and standards of the Forest Defense Bureau, Yu Ke has to open a section of the tributary, collect water samples from various locations, and record and photograph the vegetation conditions near the tributary.
Fortunately, the camp is not far from the destination, and it takes about twenty minutes to reach the destination.
Yu Ke habitually turned on the radio in the car and tuned to the exclusive channel of the Disaster Prevention Bureau to learn about the recent situation in and outside Danhang City.
'This is the Danhang City Disaster Prevention Bureau. Starting today, we will update the situation of this cold wave on the official website in real time. Please pay close attention to the general public and prepare the necessary materials for cold prevention in advance. '
This cold wave seems to be particularly special. The Disaster Prevention Bureau has mentioned this for three consecutive days.
'Signs of water monster activities have been found in the rivers in Danhang City. Residents along the river should try to avoid traveling at night recently. If you hear strange sounds, please call the Disaster Prevention Bureau immediately'
Environmental disasters will not be weakened by the existence of the city.
The various catastrophic events that often occur in Danhang City are the best proof.
After listening to the radio for a while, just as Yu Ke was about to tune into the music channel to relax, the communication channel of the Forest Defense Bureau suddenly intervened,
'Now playing an emergency notice, all hunters must pay attention to the sky above the forest area during the mission. Once you hear crying for help, immediately track and report to the headquarters. Attention, the target is extremely dangerous, don't act rashly! ’
