Chapter 16 Urgent Request for Help
Shadow Moon Leopard.
A rare leopard-like beast in the outskirts of Mirror Lake Forest.
Its ability is extremely special. It not only has the extraordinary ability of stealth, but also seems to trigger other extraordinary characteristics when bathing in the moonlight.
The Shadow Moon Leopard is a mutant individual that the Forestry Bureau pays special attention to. It is even more valued than the Shocked Horned Deer King. It is also the key and difficult part of Yu Ke's first work mission.
You should know that the Shadow Moon Leopard is a beast, and it is even more ferocious and difficult to control after the mutation.
The Forestry Bureau has thought about capturing one and raising it in the laboratory for research.
In the end, not only did it fail, but the patrol team was also regarded as prey, and many elites were killed in succession, including some extraordinary people.
Although the Forestry Bureau deliberately explained that no lethal weapons should be used, the fact that they were able to achieve this record with a small number of enemies shows how terrifying this beast is. If ordinary people encounter it, they will basically die.
Yu Ke originally planned to take advantage of the remaining time today to look for the traces of the Shadow Moon Leopard.
Seeing that the rain and fog in the jungle still showed no signs of dissipating, he had no choice but to give up. It would be wishful thinking to find the Shadow Moon Leopard in this environment unless he suddenly had the extraordinary ability of perspective and remote positioning.
Yu Ke had no choice but to return to the camp.
It was afternoon.
The rain was getting weaker, the sky was still dark, and there was no sign of the temperature rising.
The cold wind was howling in the forest, rolling up the lead-gray clouds in the sky.
Because it was not yet night, the main lights in the camp were not turned on, only the chandelier in the hunting lodge was turned on.
Under the bright yellow light, Yu Ke held a soft leather hose in his hand, and the other end of it was connected to the faucet at the well.
Use a small stream of water to flush the gaps in the hunting lodge, especially on the slaughter table, to clean the remaining grease and broken bones, then wipe it carefully with a steel wool dipped in detergent, and finally spray it with air freshener.
This camp is where he will live for a period of time in the future, so he can't be lazy about cleaning the places that need to be cleaned.
After sorting out the newly bought butchering tools and taking out a bag of dumplings stuffed with corn and pork from the freezer, Yu Ke turned off the lights and left the hunting lodge. He took a bundle of pre-chopped firewood from the pile of firewood covered by the rainproof cloth and climbed up to the sentry tower.
The hot dumplings were served on a plate and drizzled with vinegar.
Yu Ke sat at the workbench, eating while flipping through the work log of the former forest ranger, planning the route to find the shadow moon leopard tomorrow.
The Forestry Bureau knew that this guy was not easy to find, so they did not put too much pressure on him. They only asked Yu Ke to take photos or influence to confirm the current status and range of activities of the shadow moon leopard.
I looked at the weather forecast. It will be sunny tomorrow, which is good news.
It’s just that the weather in the next few days will be affected by the cold wave, and it will be visibly bad.
After the route planning was completed and loaded into the watch, Yu Ke leaned back in the chair, ate dumplings, opened the cloud map website, and watched videos to pass the time.
‘Cold wave breaks out, natural disasters and strange disasters! ’
Open the hot recommendations, and the top one is the video related to the cold wave.
Danhang City will not face the cold wave until a week later, while the northern cities in China are already suffering from the invasion of the cold wave.
The video was shot in Dongyang City, and the blizzard that covered the sky and the sun was thrilling to watch.
The sky and the earth were white, and the activities of the entire city were strongly suppressed. What really caught Yu Ke's attention was the second half of this video. The shooter who was originally standing on the windowsill seemed to have seen something, and suddenly turned the camera and pointed it at the residential building opposite.
"Wife, come here quickly, did I see it wrong? Is there something outside the window of the house opposite?"
The voice of the shooter was obviously trembling, and he kept calling his wife to confirm.
At the same time, in the picture he shot.
Outside the window of the residential building opposite, there is a humanoid creature with extremely long limbs climbing up!
Wow~
It's scary.
Yu Ke picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth. He was watching it with great interest, but the video suddenly paused. After refreshing, he found that it had been removed from the shelves.
There is no doubt that the publisher of the video may have accidentally filmed something incredible.
The Yuntu website immediately removed the video after receiving the official warning, and this behavior itself verified the authenticity of the video content.
Yu Ke was not surprised by this. There were too many strange things in the era of the Great Cataclysm.
There are even rumors on the Internet that ghosts have been seen asking for lives. God knows whether it is a rumor or something that actually happened somewhere.
Just about to change a wilderness survival video to pass the time.
The radio station next to him suddenly lit up a red light, and Yu Ke's expression immediately froze. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and stood up.
The patrol towers are equipped with radio stations, which are used for emergency contact with the Forestry Bureau in special circumstances.
For example, the upcoming cold wave may destroy the signal tower outside the Jinghu Forest, and the radio station will come in handy at this time.
At this time, the network is normal, and the Forestry Bureau cannot use the radio station to contact specifically. There is only one possibility left, that an emergency occurred in the nearby forest area, and someone tried to use the radio for help!
As a forest ranger, Yu Ke had no choice but to act as a rescuer and open the communication channel.
"Hello, this is the forest ranger tower, may I ask you..."
"We need help, we've encountered a monster, it's chasing us, come on, it's coming!"
Before Yu Ke could finish his words, a quick cry for help came from the other side, probably from someone running, the words were intermittent.
"Where are you guys, what monster is chasing you?"
Yu Ke grabbed his coat and put it on, asking repeatedly.
Could it be that giant python rushing out of the tributary of Jinghu Lake to attack humans?
"The location has been sent to you, come quickly."
The wireless communication was hung up, and the last voice of the person seeking help was filled with panic.
Things had developed to this point, Yu Ke did not dare to hesitate, fortunately he had just returned from outside, and his equipment was still in the car, after a simple confirmation of the location, he ran down the sentry tower to go out for rescue.
Driving away from the camp, Yu Ke turned on the headlights, transferred the coordinates sent by the other party to the on-board computer, and waited to find their location on the map, and couldn't help but half-squinted his eyes, his expression became more serious.
In this weather, it was suspicious enough to appear in the Mirror Lake Forest at this time.
Their coordinates were actually in the activity area of the Shadow Moon Leopard!
Yu Ke had seen the relevant map information when planning the route just now, so he recognized it at a glance.
The origin was unknown, and the place where they appeared was also very suspicious.
Yu Ke immediately realized that the other party was most likely a poacher!
As mentioned before, the Shadow Moon Leopard is an extremely special mutant beast with extremely high research and medicinal value. Its fur is a luxury item, and its flesh and blood can be used to cultivate extraordinary people. Even the Forestry Bureau has to send elite patrol teams to try to capture it.
It is normal for such a high-value target to be targeted by the outside world.
After all, in this era, the Forestry Bureau rarely sets up a protection mechanism for animals in the Mirror Lake Forest, especially mutant creatures. It will only block them on the surface to prevent some young people from thinking about delivering takeout to those monsters with a shovel all day long.
This group of poachers probably doesn't think so.
Perhaps they were planning to take advantage of the rainy weather to avoid the intelligent reconnaissance system set up by the Forestry Bureau outside the forest, come in to do something and then run away.
However, their skills were obviously not very good, and it was very likely that they failed to poach and were mistaken for prey.
