Chapter 54: Strange Containment
Since the advent of the Cataclysm.
The frequent occurrence of supernatural phenomena has inevitably made ordinary people more interested in legends of gods and ghosts.
Or in other words, when they are unable to resist, ordinary people will place their hopes on the protection of gods, which is normal.
The emergence of various folk religious groups like mushrooms after rain is the best proof.
In the face of this situation, the official government can only establish corresponding rules and regulations, and guide the emotions of the people at the same time.
It’s just that the legends about forest spirits may be traced back to be older, belonging to the kind that has existed since ancient times.
Seeing that everyone was curious, Tang Bin did not keep them in suspense and revealed his discovery.
"At about two o'clock in the morning, I suddenly found a faint figure of a snow monster in the jungle. You know the situation at that time. It was impossible to go out. It was minus sixty degrees. I thought I would set up my gun and wait for the rabbit. Unexpectedly, a light green light suddenly burst out in that area, and the monster disappeared after that."
That's it?
After listening to Tang Bin's description, Yu Ke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and took a sip of beer.
Several people around him had similar ideas, and they all uttered exclamations like "Ah~".
"You were not at the scene, so you can't understand my feelings at the time. Although I couldn't take a photo, the light green light must have appeared. I think it must be the forest spirit that appeared and destroyed the snow monster."
Tang Bin was a little dissatisfied with his colleagues' reactions. He kept mumbling that he was not wrong and the feeling of the forest ranger would not be wrong, which caused a series of laughter.
The topic of forest spirits came to an abrupt end. Yu Ke could feel that most forest rangers did not believe it.
Because if forest spirits existed, why would Jinghu Forest become like this?
Not to mention the appearance of Pandora, an unknown horror. Others may not know, but Yu Ke knows that if it is allowed to wreak havoc, Jinghu Forest will be forced to be infected with the virus.
Of course, now is not the time to talk about these things. Information about Pandora is still confidential.
Everyone's attention was soon attracted by the supernatural events mentioned by another ranger.
At this time, Yu Ke realized belatedly that this kind of gathering was actually a very good channel for obtaining information.
After all, except for people like him who "cheated" the system, most rangers were either military special forces or elite police officers in the past, otherwise they would not be able to take on this profession of fighting against ferocious beasts in the forest.
The people they met in the past often gave them their own information channels.
The information they could obtain was naturally far more than that of Yu Ke, a teacher who temporarily changed his job.
The changes caused by the catastrophe era are by no means limited to simple plants and animals.
The existence of unknown horrors like Pandora is not unique. Regardless of other things, Danhang City has recently had a terrorist incident in which evil spirits attacked and killed ordinary people. The death toll has exceeded 30, and the impact is extremely bad.
It was said earlier that there is no absolutely safe place in this era.
Although Danhang City has a considerable number of extraordinary people, it is now at a loss when facing evil spirits that come from nowhere.
"Speaking of this, what do you think I suddenly called my wife and children to Jinghu Forest for? One of the crime scenes is near my home. My wife said the scene was horrifying. The flesh and blood of the victims were sucked out, leaving only skin and bones."
Covering his child's ears with both hands, Qian Shengwen said with some horror,
"I always feel that something is playing tricks. Even if it is a disaster, it is too weird to create such a weird thing."
Before the Great Disaster, everyone received materialistic education, and their understanding of ghosts was limited to film and television works.
Although things that break the three views of human beings happen from time to time, when it comes to the existence of evil ghosts and resentful souls that violate common sense, the forest hunters are more inclined to believe that something has created these supernatural phenomena.
After all, if evil ghosts exist, what about the underworld? What about heaven?
"Who can say for sure? It's better to believe it than not. Tsk tsk, if you think about it this way, those of us outside the city are actually in a safe situation. Evil spirits rarely appear in places with few people."
Zhou Lin shuddered, thankful that the forest patrol camp where he was was unlikely to be targeted by evil spirits.
"You are actually trapped by the name of evil spirits, as if evil spirits are so scary. To put it bluntly, the number of deaths caused by them is only more than 30. If the monsters in the deep of Jinghu Forest are released into the city, the damage they can cause will be several times that of evil spirits. In terms of the efficiency of killing and causing damage, the evil spirits that appeared this time are not even worthy of carrying their shoes."
Wu Anhe, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke up, paused and added,
"In fact, the official has a unified name for various phenomena that violate common sense in the era of the Great Cataclysm, living things and even non-living things. Strange Containment Objects!"
"They call evil spirits, monsters or other strange things in this way. The broad concept can not only avoid panic and make people more accepting, but also show the confidence of the official government in dealing with such existence."
Strange Containment Objects?
Learned a new term.
As a newly appointed forest ranger, Yu Ke sat here as a listener, quietly collecting all kinds of information mentioned by his colleagues.
Just as they were about to continue communicating in this direction, Qian Shengwen's wife shouted from the wooden house that it was time for dinner.
Yu Ke hurriedly got up to clean up and unloaded the cooked ham and mushroom soup from the campfire iron rack.
In fact, he was almost starving. He didn't eat after getting up, just waiting for this meal!
Compared with the food and drinks on the long table in the house, it doesn't matter whether it's a ghost or a strange containment.
In front of a hungry stomach, you have to step back a little.
After lunch, everyone chatted, played cards, and found someone to kill time.
Yu Ke also showed his colleagues the video he was going to release tonight. Whether it was climbing a hundred-meter-high tree in a snowstorm to fight a human-faced owl, or riding a frightened deer to pretend to be a heavy knight, it caused a lot of exclamations.
Many people said that this video would go viral, and some even dragged Yu Ke to take a photo with him and post it on their social accounts, but Yu Ke refused on the grounds that he didn't want to show his face and wanted to maintain a sense of mystery.
There was no evening activity at today's camping barbecue party, which only lasted until the evening.
Because there was no place to rest at the cabin, the camps of the rangers were far away from each other, and it would take time to pack up, so it was impossible to really be busy until midnight.
Jinghu Forest is not a quiet and peaceful place.
It's okay during the day, but no one can guarantee what the smell of meat can attract after nightfall.
Besides, Yu Ke has to take a car to Danhang City tomorrow. He needs time to sort out the recent expenses in the ranger camp and then go to the Forest Defense Bureau for reimbursement.
During the cold wave, he was not a two-star hunter, and the Forestry Bureau was basically in a short shutdown.
Now that he is working, he will be promoted and will naturally not miss the opportunity to reimburse.
There is one more chapter, wait a minute, I have a headache because I drank too much wine
