Chapter 21 Small Garden Workstation
Although the environmental changes were unexpected, the transport team's operation was still smooth.
Those swollen insects looked disgusting, but they were not very aggressive, just like the giant spider, which only stayed in the area covered by the spider web and did not move easily, as if it was still in its original state.
Occasionally, some blind ones were killed one by one by Yu Ke with bows and arrows.
The special sharp-toothed bow and arrow with a pulling force of more than 200 pounds is not a joke. As long as Yu Ke locks on the target within a hundred meters, unless the target suddenly grows heavy armor, it will only take a blink of an eye to shoot it in the head.
At noon, the transport team arrived at the "Little Garden" workstation.
The mutated yaks stepped on the dead branches and leaves on the ground and came to a woodland near the stream deep in the Jinghu Forest.
Yu Ke noticed that the density of trees in front exceeded any place he had passed on the way here, and even violated the laws of nature.
This made him quickly realize that the "Little Garden" workstation should be hidden in front.
The workstation set up by the Disaster Prevention Bureau naturally cannot be placed blatantly on the surface deep in the Jinghu Forest. That would simply set up a target for the jungle beasts out of thin air. No matter how many resources the Disaster Prevention Bureau has, it is impossible to waste it like this.
Setting up the workstation underground is the right choice, and Yu Ke has heard Zhang Renqi discuss this on the way.
"Let's go to the workstation to have lunch before going back. The food standard here is not worse than that of the Disaster Prevention Bureau headquarters."
Driving the alienated yak to the stream, Zhang Renqi jumped off the yak's back, walked to a tree, and put his palm on the trunk. Just when Yu Ke was confused, the bark next to his palm moved away, revealing a small screen.
It turned out to be a short-range communication device disguised as a tree.
Yu Ke, who was standing next to him, saw that the other end of the screen was a middle-aged and elderly man with black-framed glasses and gray hair. He was probably one of the researchers in the "Little Garden" workstation.
"The transport team is in place, open the door to receive the goods."
Zhang Renqi said as he turned sideways to signal the team members to be alert around.
"Captain Zhang, I'm afraid the handover of materials this time will have to be done outside. The research in the workstation has reached a critical stage, and some accidents have occurred. Before the research results come out, we cannot allow any outsiders to enter. Please understand."
Usually, the transport team will be entertained after arriving at the workstation to reward the transport team members for their hard work along the way.
But this time the project researched inside the workstation is obviously extremely important, and no non-workstation personnel are allowed to enter.
As a member of the direct force of the General Administration of Disaster Prevention, Zhang Renqi naturally has no objection to this.
After all, in terms of rank, the position of the person in charge of the workstation in the Disaster Prevention Bureau is not something he can touch, so after expressing his understanding, he immediately asked the team members to start unloading on the spot.
At the same time, Yu Ke found that the area he had just felt strange suddenly had multiple layers of light waves, and then the trees that grew against the laws of nature suddenly disappeared, replaced by a semicircular white building with a diameter of about 20 meters, with a hexagonal frame on the outside, and projection lamps for camouflaged light and shadow installed at each node.
This is the passage connecting the inside and outside of the "small garden".
Soon, several members of the workstation appeared in a small car to assist the transport team in loading and unloading material boxes. Unlike the transport team members, these staff members were all wearing protective clothing that covered their entire bodies, and they did not even take off their masks.
It was not only Yu Ke who felt strange about this. Zhang Renqi also went up to ask, but he did not get an answer, so he had to give up.
This matter had nothing to do with Yu Ke. Although he was a little curious, he knew that he was not qualified to ask because of his identity.
Besides, he was not interested in the workstation.
As long as there was no attack by ferocious beasts, there was really not much he had to do.
It was nothing more than following the transport team back and forth twice, which wasted only time.
To be honest, Yu Ke was quite happy.
Entering the deep forest of Jinghu Lake for the first time gave him a more intuitive feeling of this area, which was considered to be accumulating experience for future operations. Besides, he could ride the alienated yak, which was a novel experience.
The material handover went smoothly. Because the "small garden" was not allowed to enter, Zhang Renqi did not plan to stay here. The large amount of alienated yaks and human breath left here might cause trouble to the workstation.
Therefore, after the handover, the transport team set off immediately.
Without the heavy material boxes to drag down, the team's speed was obviously faster. The alienated yaks carried everyone through the deep forest. In addition, the mission was successfully completed, and the team members were obviously much more relaxed, and there were a lot more laughter along the way.
Yu Ke and Zhang Renqi talked about the cold wave that would come in a few days.
"This cold wave has been assessed as a major disaster. It's not a joke. Jinghu Forest is not as good as Danhang City after all. Once a blizzard comes, many things will be uncertain. You have to do disaster prevention work in advance."
As an internal staff member of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, Zhang Renqi obviously has more detailed information about cold wave disasters. In this primitive jungle, he is not afraid of others hearing it, and then reminds,
"More importantly, be careful of the things that come with the cold wave."
"Uh, you mean extreme low temperature and blizzard?"
Yu Ke ignored his meaning for a moment and was a little surprised.
"The video that was removed from the Yuntu website has been making a lot of noise recently. You should have at least read the relevant news, right?"
"I have. Wait. Are you saying that the monster lying outside someone's window came with the cold wave?"
Yu Ke was confused when Zhang Renqi suddenly mentioned that the Yuntu website had removed the video. Thinking back to the content of the video he watched that day, he suddenly realized the problem.
Of course, when he saw the video removed, Yu Ke just thought that the authorities did not allow the promotion of these supernatural things.
Now that I think about it, it is probably because the monster is related to the cold wave, and the authorities do not want to cause further panic, so they chose to block the news.
"Try to avoid going out on a snowy day. If you hear any unusual noises, ignore them. Especially if you see a figure in the snow, don't rush over. This is all the advice I can give you. Just consider it as an apology for not inviting you to the workstation for a meal just now."
After saying this, Zhang Renqi said nothing more. Even if Yu Ke asked, he just shook his head and told Yu Ke not to reveal it to the outside world.
Seeing that he couldn't get more information, Yu Ke could only keep these advice in mind and stop asking.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the transport team returned to the outskirts of Jinghu Forest.
After exchanging contact information with Zhang Renqi, Yu Ke parted ways and prepared to return to the patrol camp to have a good meal.
However, when the off-road vehicle was halfway, the watch sounded again.
This time it was not a new task arranged by the Forest Defense Bureau, but the locator placed near the herd of frightened deer was activated.
The giant python that had been missing for a long time since the last battle finally appeared!
