Chapter 40 Rest

It was getting close to evening.

Yu Ke returned to the patrol camp under the cover of night.

He closed the camp gate, parked the snowmobile, and charged it.

The searchlight on the top of the sentry tower was turned on on time. Yu Ke did not rush back to the house, but used the light to patrol the camp.

The intensity of the wind and snow at night increased again, and the temperature was close to minus 45 degrees Celsius. I don’t know if it was because the patrol camp was in the wilderness or it was the same everywhere.

The snow that had just been melted by the snowmelt in the morning froze again. Fortunately, all the lines and houses were normal.

He took out a large bag of high-end ingredients and fruits from the trunk and put them in the freezer in the hunting lodge, only taking out large pieces of beef and fruits.

Although there are various rules and regulations for food rationing in Danhang City, the treatment of researchers in the small garden workstation has always been excellent, not to mention all kinds of well-preserved high-quality beef and mutton, even seafood can be supplied in large quantities.

The amount of food Yu Ke received this time was enough to satisfy his appetite for the next few days.

Passing by the resting area of ​​the herd of frightened deer, Yu Ke took a quick look.

The feeding effect in the morning was good, and there would be no problem to survive tonight.

He climbed up the stairs to the sentry tower and pushed the door open.

The moment he took off his helmet, Yu Ke lowered his shoulders, stretched his neck and let out a long breath.

After a long-distance raid and a series of fierce battles, his body had accumulated a considerable degree of fatigue, but he had to stay strong outside.

After taking off his combat uniform, Yu Ke immediately lit the charcoal stove and put the braised beef on the stove to cook.

Wait until the temperature in the house rises before going into the bathroom.

Standing under the shower head, the hot water flooded his whole body, relieving the soreness of his muscles.

Yu Ke squinted his eyes, and the chaotic images in his mind kept churning. This was his first contact with such a weird existence.

Despite the weakness of strong light, Chaos Color or Pandora still showed its eye-catching characteristics, and even allowed the system to directly generate the [Investigator] profession, which can be said to be unprecedented.

Does this mean that [Investigators] must come into contact with more monsters of this type if they want to upgrade?

If it is true, Yu Ke doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.

What makes him happy is that the [Investigator] profession that relies on unknown horror to upgrade must be extremely powerful. As long as it can be upgraded, the effect of the characteristics will never disappoint him.

However, through Pandora, Yu Ke also clearly realized the horror of this kind of existence.

He saw the resurrection of the human-faced owl and the horror of the stitched corpse monster. If he is not careful, he may be infected by it. It is definitely not a disease that can be cured by modern medicine.

He wiped his face. Thinking too much about the scene when Pandora escaped made Yu Ke a little inexplicably anxious. Thinking of the status of the researchers at the workstation, he quickly changed his mind and checked the new characteristics of [Forest Ranger].

The strength of this characteristic is beyond doubt.

As long as you hunt special targets, you can enhance your physical fitness and acquire skills or traits with a certain probability. This is tailor-made for lone hunters like Yu Ke.

If the giant python that he encountered earlier could be put to hunt now, Yu Ke's body flexibility would definitely be greatly improved. If he is lucky, he can even gain the ability to create poisonous miasma.

After taking a shower, he changed into loose pajamas.

Yu Ke put noodles into the cooked braised beef, and then cut a fruit plate and brought it to the computer together.

The game character still stayed in the original place, directly exited the game, turned on the phone and replied to the message in the group, saying that he had successfully hunted the human-faced owl and returned smoothly, and immediately received a lot of replies.

The group is full of forest rangers, and they all know how bad the environment outside is.

Yu Ke braved the blizzard to chase the face-owl to the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest. This job was a bit too big, so they asked the former to send two photos or videos. They knew that Yu Ke would definitely take them.

This video must not be posted, and the part involving the small garden workstation must be edited out.

Pandora's existence is too special, and Yu Ke doesn't want to get into trouble because of it.

He made up an excuse and asked them to follow his video account and wait for the video to be released. Yu Ke ate beef noodles and turned on the popular monster program to eat.

With the advent of the era of the great disaster, monsters are no longer a topic that people are afraid to avoid.

There are many programs about monsters on the Internet, such as "Traces of Monsters" that Yu Ke is watching now. The core content of the program is to tell and discuss various monster events that have caused heated discussions at home and abroad.

Through this program, Yu Ke can see video materials of various monsters and accumulate insights and experience in dealing with them.

"Two years ago, a monster attack codenamed "Sharknado" occurred in the center of the famous coastal city, Losen. In just one night, more than a hundred mutated man-eating sharks fell from the sky and landed all over the city. For some unknown reason, their fins mutated into short and thick animal legs, so there were scenes of sharks running wildly on the streets of the city center chasing humans."

Yu Ke watched the live footage played by the program team, took two big sips of beef noodles, and just as he picked up the beer next to him and was about to take a sip, he saw a message prompt pop up on the lower right corner of the computer screen.

Video call request from the Forestry Bureau, Chief of the Forest Patrol Department.

Ahem~

Yu ​​Ke, who almost choked on the noodles, hurriedly took the bowl of noodles to the side, wiped his mouth, and accepted the video call.

A dialog box popped up on the computer screen, and the face of Chief Zheng of the Forest Patrol Department appeared.

As expected, this call was still about what happened in the Small Garden Workstation.

Station Chief He reported the information to the Danhang City Disaster Prevention Bureau truthfully, and Zhao Chaowu also specially asked for credit for Yu Ke as he said. As a subordinate department of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, the Forestry Bureau naturally attached great importance to this matter.

Some polite words are unnecessary to repeat.

What really concerned Yu Ke was the reward for this action.

"No. 281 Forest Ranger Yu Ke, after the evaluation of the Audit Department, your achievements and strength are enough to make you promoted to a two-star hunter. This is an unprecedented promotion speed. At that time, your various benefits will be improved. When the cold wave is over, you will take a car back to complete the promotion process. In addition, the Disaster Prevention Bureau is preparing to award you a medal, and there are additional rewards for you to choose. You can handle it together at that time."

Chief Zheng looked at Yu Ke, his face was full of undisguised joy and appreciation.

It has never been an easy thing for a forest ranger to be promoted from one star to two stars. Normally, it takes at least two to three years to get the qualifications, provided that there are no omissions in the work and occasionally meritorious performance.

Yu Ke completed the promotion within less than a month of taking office, which is really unique.

As for the so-called "promotion process".

In fact, the Forest Prevention Bureau wanted to take this opportunity to evaluate Yu Ke's strength, update his file information, and confirm whether he has become a transcendent.

Yu Ke naturally had no objection to this. His ability was genuine, and it would take at most two days to return to Danhang City to complete the promotion process.

Not to mention the medal and additional rewards from the Disaster Prevention Bureau.

Although I don't know what the specific reward is, considering Yu Ke's contribution in this incident, it will definitely not be shabby.
