Chapter 211 Meteor Storm
Temporary campsite outside Jinghu Forest.
The bonfire dispels the darkness in front of the tent, and the pot is cooking broth.
It is already nine o'clock in the evening, and the forest is silent, with only the night wind and the chirping of insects.
The energetic wind chimes run around the wooden stakes, occasionally jumping to catch fireflies and swallowing them as snacks.
Yu Ke, sitting on a folding chair, stares at the flames swaying in the wind, and the orange-red flames reflect his face.
If you look closely, you will find that his eyes are out of focus, and he is obviously still thinking about the illusion he saw in the cave not long ago.
Being in the wilderness allows Yu Ke to recover quickly and sort out his chaotic thoughts.
The more he recalls and thinks about the scenes in the environment, the more he feels that the god should be conveying information to him.
The extremely strange meteorite shower and the subsequent disasters all foreshadow a period of the great catastrophe, which makes Yu Ke subconsciously doubt whether this world will also have a similar large-scale disaster one day in the future.
You have to know that it has only been less than ten years since the Great Cataclysm began.
Even so, supernatural phenomena and various disasters around the world have already appeared in a blowout manner, and the scale and severity of the disasters are almost increasing in a snowball manner!
No one can guarantee what will happen in a few years, and most countries have negative doomsday prophecies.
In fact, only the country where Yu Ke is can maintain the normal operation of multiple giant cities and retain hundreds of millions of people.
Nearly 30% of the governments of countries around the world have stopped functioning or even destroyed their countries. Among the remaining 70%, 50% of the countries have fallen into large-scale chaos, and even evolved into warlord melees in the old era, fighting for survival resources.
"The bronze tripod that appeared at the end, is it telling me that it is the key?"
After taking a sip of the drink, Yu Ke couldn't help but recall the last part of the illusion.
At that time, humans did successfully suppress the chaos with the help of the bronze tripod. The gods deliberately pointed it out in the illusion. In Yu Ke's view, it was to remind him that if he had the opportunity, he must find the bronze tripod so that Jinghang City could remain stable in the increasingly chaotic situation.
In addition, what Yu Ke was most concerned about was the thick fog that appeared before the end of the illusion.
At that time, the situation in the illusion had changed to the critical stage of the bronze tripod suppressing the chaos. Yu Ke wanted to find out how the people did it back then, but the sudden thick fog and insect chirping interrupted everything.
This is obviously abnormal.
Since the power of the gods left in the cave dragged Yu Ke into the illusion, there is no reason to forcibly interfere in this way.
There is only one possibility.
There was another force in the cave at that time!
Thinking of this, Yu Ke suddenly got up from the folding chair and walked around the campfire for a few steps. The can in his hand was crushed by the increased force.
The ruins of the buildings and the many beast shells in the cave appeared in his mind, as well as the soul-eating insects that he had tracked not long ago.
Now thinking back, how similar are the beast shells with cracks on the spine and the insect shells left when the insects metamorphosed?
As for the thick fog
The fog incident in the mountain area caused turmoil in the seal of the ruins.
Yu Ke didn't believe that there was no connection between them.
A variety of thoughts kept coming to his mind. Yu Ke, who couldn't calm down, let Feng Ling stay in the temporary camp to watch the meat soup, and walked into the forest alone, trying to sort out his thoughts.
The temporary camp was not far from the forest patrol camp under construction. Yu Ke, who often went there to check, walked over unconsciously.
Since the design drawings were successfully completed, the construction of the new camp has entered a 24-hour high efficiency, especially after Yu Ke returned from Shanqing City, three of the top construction teams in Jinghang City took turns to work here.
There is no saying that it disturbs the people outside the Jinghu Forest. Various noises and lights can increase the safety inside and outside the construction area.
The super high salary and the personal supervision of the General Administration of Disaster Prevention make the new camp look different almost every day.
Without disturbing their work, Yu Ke leaned against the big tree and looked at the new camp whose general framework had been built.
With the technology of this era, it is not difficult to build a house.
At this stage, the only things left in the main house are the interior decoration and furniture arrangement. A professional team should come to measure in the next two days, and it will be completed within a week if nothing goes wrong.
The real trouble is the high-tech greenhouse that Yu Ke requested. That is the house he uses to cultivate spiritual plants. It has extremely high requirements for facilities and equipment in all aspects. Then there are the protective devices outside the house and the periphery of the camp.
Considering that various catastrophic weather occurs frequently in the era of the Great Catastrophe, and the wooden house is in the Mirror Lake Forest, this aspect cannot be sloppy in any way. Yu Ke does not want the new house to be destroyed just after it is built.
Yu Ke admired his future new residence, and his boredom soon improved.
It was at this time that the bell rang in the camp, and it was the meal time for the construction team. The workers left their posts temporarily and leaned against the large camping tents built outside the camp. The chef team had already prepared a lot of meat.
Yu Ke specially asked the Forest Defense Bureau to help arrange this treatment to reward the workers and mobilize their enthusiasm.
After all, in this era, eating meat is not an easy thing for most ordinary people. The free and unlimited supply is enough for them to devote themselves to the construction of the camp.
"Advisor Yu, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Lin Zhenye, who was wearing a helmet and was the person in charge of the site, noticed Yu Ke standing not far away as soon as he went out, and hurried forward to ask.
After all, he was the general manager who specifically contacted Yu Ke. Lin Zhenye had heard a lot of rumors about the young man in front of him from the Disaster Prevention Bureau. Regardless of whether it was true or not, there was no doubt that he was valued in the Disaster Prevention Bureau.
"I came here to see how many days it would take to be built. I mean the main house. It's a bit uncomfortable to live in a tent all day."
Yu Ke smiled and asked.
The greenhouse and hunting lodge are independent of the main house. In theory, as long as the main house is built, Yu Ke can move in.
Of course, Yu Ke couldn't really move in. He couldn't stand the 24-hour construction noise.
"If it's just the main house, it should be done in five days. I've also added a viewing platform for you on the roof, so you can watch the meteor shower that happens only once in a century."
"Haha, then I'll look forward to the meteor shower you just mentioned. What meteor shower?"
Yu Ke stopped talking halfway, and stared at Lin Zhenye after capturing the key information, and asked in a deep voice.
"The Boötes-Corona Borealis meteor shower, don't you know? It is said that this is an extremely rare meteor storm with a particularly large number. It can be seen in many places at that time. The meteorological station has been promoting this matter these two days. My daughter is so excited that she said she wants to prepare a wish in advance."
Lin Zhenye said in surprise, noticing that Yu Ke's expression was a little wrong.
Yu Ke remained silent, looked at the dark sky, and looked at Lin Zhenye after a while, with an urgent tone,
"Don't build the greenhouse and hunting lodge first, and complete the construction of the main house and protective equipment as quickly as possible, the faster the better!"
