Chapter 68 Death Arrives

Crack~

The flint ignites a bunch of hay.

Put it in a small wood stove, add a few more firewood, and illuminate the "thorn tent" in the camping site.

The firelight from only one side just illuminates Yu Ke's body.

The small box on the left side, the soft cushion spread behind him, and the steaming milk tea in his hand.

The situation at camping site X133 was really unexpected.

Yu Ke thought it was just a temporary camping site surrounded by thorny jungles and barely able to prevent night attacks by ferocious beasts.

Unexpectedly, the exploration team probably came here frequently, so they made some special modifications, chose a location with dense thorns, forced a concave hole, and then covered it with a special tent. The ground was also treated, and then a layer of waterproof mat and tarpaulin was thrown on.

A tent that can accommodate two to three people for rest was completed.

Yu Ke even found a portable special wood stove in the corner, which can be used as long as the smoke outlet is fixed.

There was no campfire that could easily expose the location, and the smoke was covered by the snow outside, which meant that they could not barbecue.

Yu Ke, who had planned to find a place to make do before, was not willing to miss such a good condition. He simply arranged it and moved in.

The frightened horned deer was too big to come in, so it could only sleep outside. Yu Ke covered it with a blanket and fed it some fine food. Now it stuck its head into the tent, ate something, and stretched it out again after warming up to help Yu Ke check the situation outside.

Deep in the Mirror Lake Forest, Yu Ke was not so brave as to lie on the mat to sleep, but leaned against the wooden box, using the transparent "window" on the front of the tent to observe the situation outside at all times.

The sharp-toothed bow and arrow and the Leviathan axe were placed where he could reach them.

Yu Ke, who had the heart of the wilderness, had reached the peak of recovery ability in the current environment. He only needed to take a short nap to recover from fatigue. This was also the reason why he dared to take the frightened horned deer deep into the Mirror Lake Forest.

Taking a sip of milk tea, listening to the sound of wind and snow outside the tent.

Yu Ke gently stroked the frightened deer that came in and put its head on his knees.

This feeling is very good, compared to the prosperity of Danhang City.

The environment is so quiet that you can hear the "beep~" sound of burning firewood, which makes Yu Ke like it even more.

I should be able to rest comfortably tonight

Bang! Bang!

The two silenced gunshots from the wind and snow made Yu Ke's half-closed eyes suddenly open, and the frightened deer's ears also stood up.

Then there were several consecutive gunshots, this time without silencers, it should be the fully automatic rifle firing, occasionally interspersed with the sound of grenades exploding, the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.

Raising his hand and pressing on the sharp-toothed bow and arrow, Yu Ke listened carefully to judge the direction and distance of the gunshots. He confirmed that it was not coming from him, and that it was still some distance away. He could not help but spit, "Stupid, even if you want to die, this is not the way to do it." There were countless beasts wandering around in the Mirror Lake Forest at night. The gunshots, the light of fire, the smell of gunpowder, and even the smell of blood from injuries would become reasons for them to start hunting. Even though Yu Ke did not dare to run around at night, the group of people who were shooting now knew that they were running around in the forest. They were probably attacked by some beasts at night, and they had no choice but to choose this most unwise way to fight back. Yu Ke was not interested in getting involved in such things. He just sat up, guarding against beasts that might hear the gunshots and approach this side, and then detect his presence. Since the civilian hunting group dared to go deep into the Mirror Lake Forest, they had to be responsible for their actions. However, as time passed, the gunshots not only did not stop, but became more and more intense. At first, there were only one or two fully automatic rifles, but later, Yu Ke heard the unique sound of a sniper rifle equipped with a silencer firing. Even with the cover of wind and snow, he still caught it with his ears.

This means that the sniper is not far away.

More importantly, from the time the gunshots started to now, Yu Ke has not heard a single roar of a beast. The gunshots in the forest are obviously divided into two groups, and it sounds like they are shooting at each other without holding back!

It seems that they did not encounter a beast, but a conflict between two groups of people.

The mutual struggle of civilian hunting groups for spoils?

In such a place?

Although Yu Ke is not a member of the civilian hunting group, he has come into contact with them several times. It is not uncommon for civilian hunting groups to conflict with each other because of prey or something else. After all, they are all in the wild all year round and are full of blood.

However, the outbreak of conflict is one thing, and directly drawing guns and shooting or even using grenades is another.

Besides, this was in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest. Any member of the hunting group with a little bit of brains knew that the result of doing so would only be a lose-lose situation, unless...

Unless the other side was a poaching team!

This group of bastards, like sewer mud, acted recklessly, with the idea of ​​"I can't beat the beast, I can't beat you either", and attacked the civilian hunting group in a very vicious way. If it were them, it would not be surprising that they chose to shoot directly.

"You stay here, I'll go out and take a look."

Walking out of the thorn tent with weapons, Yu Ke signaled the frightened deer that was about to stand up to continue resting.

It had been walking in the deep forest for a day and needed to recover its strength. Besides, there were bullets flying outside. It would be easy for it to be targeted if it approached. If it got hurt, Yu Ke would have to take care of it.

The gunshots were much less frequent at this time, and it was estimated that the outcome was about to be decided.

Wearing a full-coverage mask, Yu Ke looked around, suddenly jumped up, and jumped onto a nearby branch.

If it was a fight between a civilian hunting group and a ferocious beast, Yu Ke would not and had no interest in caring about it, and the same was true for the fight between hunting groups.

He was not an old uncle who was good at mediating disputes.

But if it was a dirty guy like poachers, Yu Ke, as a forest ranger, had the responsibility to eliminate them.

Don't miss the experience that comes to your door.

Relying on his high perception and physical fitness, Yu Ke moved quickly among the branches high in the jungle at night, approaching the direction of the gunshots. As long as he stood high enough, the stray bullets would not affect him.

Soon, Yu Ke arrived near the battlefield and found beams of light gathering in the forest ahead.

It seemed that the melee had ended completely and one side had won a complete victory.

He did not rush down. Yu Ke just wanted to confirm the origin of the winning side before deciding whether to get involved. As a result, as soon as he approached, he unexpectedly found something very familiar.

The deformed beast that he killed on the bank of the mountain stream was also here, but it had no body, only a head, skin and deformed tail. It was guarded by two people, and there were three people nearby who were looking for something in the tent next to it.

Because the head and tail of this deformed beast were very special, it was quite easy to recognize.

Even though a sign had been posted to remind them, they still wanted to plunder the body of this deformed beast. Yu Ke had a preliminary judgment on the identity of those who could do such a thing.

Turning his sight to the open space not far ahead, three injured people were being dragged out of the forest by them.

Including the five people who suppressed the wounded, the number of attackers has reached ten. It is unknown whether there are any more hiding in secret.

The head of the hunting team, covered with scars, knelt on the ground, his arms tied with ropes. Even so, he still raised his head, stared with bloodshot eyes, stared at the man wearing a wild boar mask in front of him, and roared,

"You scum, dogs, if you have the ability, do it openly and attack us while we are camping, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

It was not easy to find a suitable camping location. Because of the wind and snow, it took a lot of time to light the bonfire and set up the tent. I thought I could finally have time to rest and recover my strength, but I was attacked as soon as I sat down.

These guys in front of them, who were all wearing various beast masks, did not give them time to react. Two rounds of shooting caught them off guard, and a grenade exploded in the bonfire, causing many people to be injured and die on the spot.

He led the rest of the people to escape into the jungle and wanted to fight back, but they were outnumbered.

"Brother, I have no choice. It's so cold on a snowy day, we have to find a place to camp. You are so skilled, so what's wrong with helping? Who would have thought that there are not enough tents? I can only trouble you to die."

The sutures on both sides of the raised pig nose moved as he spoke, and the fangs followed up. Under the eye socket lenses were a pair of eyes full of malice. He raised the short knife in his hand and gestured at the throat of the hunting leader. Suddenly he turned his head and looked at the team member wearing a hyena mask next to him.

"Boss Zhu, did you ask us to find someone to try the pollen? Aren't this guy and his team members ready? Hurry up and bring the things. This is a good opportunity for us to make merit."

"Understood!"

After receiving the order, the team members immediately gestured to the two people guarding the tail of the deformed beast.

One of them understood and took out a syringe from his waist. He took some flower fragments from the tail of the deformed beast with tweezers and stuffed them into the syringe, crushed them, and carefully sent them over.

Obviously, this group of people actually knew the danger of the freak beasts, and they were planning to use living people for experiments!

"What do you want to do?"

Glancing at the abnormality of the tail, the leader of the hunting group immediately struggled to get up, but was hit on the back of the head by a rifle butt, and was forced back.

"Don't be so nervous, I'll give you a chance to escape. As long as you give me an injection, I'll let you go. What are you doing? Hold him down!"

Reaching out to grab the leader of the hunting group's hair, the man glanced at the two people standing behind him. The leader of the hunting group was immediately pressed to the ground, his shoulders were pressed against his knees, and he couldn't move at all.

Putting on gloves and turning back to take the syringe, the man glanced at the petal juice in the middle with some fear, and signaled his men to increase the strength and not let the leader of the hunting group struggle, otherwise if the juice was spilled, no one would be happy.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt, it's almost the same as a mosquito bite, but there are some side effects."

Tearing open the leader of the hunting group's collar, the man bent down and was about to start.

At the critical moment, an arrow broke through the air.

The arrow pierced the man's neck at an extremely tricky angle, with just the right amount of force to get stuck in his throat!

The sudden pain made him subconsciously cover his throat, blood oozing out from the wild boar hood, blood blocking his throat and causing him to cough repeatedly due to suffocation. He reached out to grab the men next to him, wanting them to help him.

The closest person, wearing a hyena mask, tried to get closer, but just as he took a step, he was hit by arrows in his right shoulder and right leg. He fell to the ground, wailing.

He only lost his ability to move and fight back. Did the other party want to keep him alive?

The hyena, realizing this possibility, gritted his teeth and roared, asking others to quickly find the archer hiding in the dark, while he crawled into the tent next to him, trying to hide first.

Whoosh!

Another arrow shot out from the darkness, killing the person who had just raised the flashlight.

In this dark night with snow flying all over the sky.

The light source is the target.

The archer hiding in the dark.

Like the god of death.

There will be more later.
