Chapter 69 Unexpected Gains
Deep in the Mirror Lake Forest on a snowy night.
Vision and hearing are affected.
Under normal circumstances, choosing to camp and rest is the appropriate response.
However, this group of poachers now have to face Yu Ke.
An extraordinary archer hiding in the dark, who can accurately shoot the leader through dozens of meters of snow and wind.
His arrows are like the sickle swung by the god of death.
Every short sound of breaking through the air is exchanged for flying blood and overturned corpses.
The poachers tried to resist but couldn't find the target.
Blindly shooting at the branches above their heads, not because they don't want to illuminate, but those who turn on the flashlight will immediately become the target.
Expect the poachers to sacrifice themselves and turn on the light to find Yu Ke?
If they can have such a fearless spirit of sacrifice, why would they still be poachers?
The ending is doomed.
In the past, Yu Ke had faced all kinds of huge beasts. They often had strong armor, tenacious vitality, and became more ferocious after being injured and would not give up until they achieved their goal.
Now that the target has been changed to humans, Yu Ke can only feel the fragility of life.
In his eyes, these people are like glass products.
Even the slightest touch will break them, and the wailing before death is the crisp sound of collapse.
This hunting process can only be described as cruel.
"Good kill, good kill! There is another one on the left, hiding in the bushes, he wants to run!"
The leader of the hunting team and his two surviving team members shouted and kept reporting to Yu Ke on the high ground. Someone had wanted to kill them a long time ago, but they were shot in the head by an arrow as soon as they stood up. The rest dared not to do anything, but just fled in panic.
The man wearing a hyena mask huddled in the tent.
He also wanted to run, but the arrow wounds on his shoulders and legs made him unable to move. He wanted to ask his men to carry him away.
In the end, no one paid any attention.
What a joke.
It's not certain whether he can run away, and he's carrying a wounded person.
Do they really think they are super poachers?
Listening to the wailing outside, all he could do was tremble and wait for the person who was destined to appear.
When all his men were killed, there was a sound of falling and the endless thanks from the hunting leader outside the tent. He pulled out the pistol from his waist with his still intact left hand, looked at the blurred burly figure, and aimed despite the severe pain.
But before he pulled the trigger, an arrow flew past his cheek, causing a burning pain.
This was the opponent's warning, which shattered his last psychological defense.
Without any hesitation, he threw down his gun and crawled out of the tent. He saw a figure who was untying the hunting leader and three others. The particularly conspicuous forest ranger uniform made him despair.
"You should treat your injuries first, and then help me search their bodies. Don't run around. The bloody smell may attract other beasts. I can protect you here temporarily."
Yu Ke noticed that the hunting leader was still able to move and his injuries were not serious. After saying that, he turned around and picked up the syringe that had fallen on the ground before, and walked towards the "hyena" who had just crawled out of the tent not far away.
"Wait, brother, no, big brother. Don't kill me. We can discuss it. I can give you whatever you want."
Seeing the syringe, the man who knew its source immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said with a trembling voice.
Yu Ke didn't waste any words. He pulled a folding stool under his buttocks, lifted the mask on the man's face, stepped on his back,
"I ask, you answer, and I'll let you go after you answer. Is that clear enough?"
The syringe in his hand was close to his neck.
The man nodded desperately, fearing that Yu Ke's hand would slip.
"Name?"
"Huang Yaowu."
"Which poacher organization, what are you doing here?"
"Nightmare Organization, Boss Zhu asked us to hunt those beasts with special mutations to test their mutations. We just found one in the mountain stream. We cut off its deformed tissue and want to use the people here for experiments."
The desire to survive overwhelmed everything, and the man did not dare to hide anything.
Nightmare Organization?
Yu Ke's eyes swept across the hyena mask on the ground and the wild boar mask not far away.
'No wonder they all wear beast masks. '
I heard from An Saili that the core members of this organization wore masks of the twelve zodiac signs, and I didn't expect that the peripheral members would follow suit.
The poacher organization is not like a civilian hunting group that focuses on an elite team. The Nightmare Organization itself is a criminal group. In addition to poaching, it is also engaged in various underground industries and has a large number of peripheral members.
Yu Ke just didn't expect to meet it here.
Those guys were responsible for the ghost attack in Danhang City and are now being hunted by the Disaster Prevention Bureau. They didn't expect that they would have extra forces to come to Jinghu Forest to compete for the legendary "natural treasures".
However, judging from the information revealed by the peripheral members in front of them, the Nightmare Organization seems to know the existence of the Deformed Beasts, but it is not yet possible to determine the relationship between them and Pandora, so they are eager to use living people for experiments.
"What is the purpose of your trip?"
"We found the treasure deep in the Mirror Lake Forest. Boss Zhu said that those mutated monsters are related to the treasure, so we should hunt as much as possible and collect the mutated limbs."
"Boss Zhu?"
"Our immediate boss, one of the core members of the Nightmare Organization."
After all, he is a poacher without any bottom line, and he is very familiar with betraying his companions.
"You speak so fluently, making up a story to deceive me?"
Yu Ke lowered the needle and said in a cold voice.
"No, please spare me. I really didn't lie to you. Those guys are all heinous bastards. I have wanted to identify them for a long time. Killing me will only dirty your hands. It is better to let the law punish me. I am willing to be a tainted witness!"
"How do you usually contact each other?"
"Satellite phone, in that pig-headed pocket, but every time only Boss Zhu contacts us."
Yu Ke turned around and gave the hunting team leader a look. The latter immediately understood and ran to the first person who was shot to take out the satellite phone, and then trotted over and handed it to Yu Ke with both hands.
He took the phone and looked around to confirm that it was not damaged.
The existence of the Nightmare Organization is undoubtedly a variable in this hunting operation of Pandora. Yu Ke is going to inform the Forestry Bureau of this news and leave this satellite phone. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains later.
Next, Yu Ke asked the man a few more questions about the Nightmare Organization.
Not much valuable information was obtained.
These peripheral members did not have a high status in the Nightmare Organization. At best, they were high-level cannon fodder. They rarely had the opportunity to contact the core members. Most of the time, they passively executed various orders.
This time was no exception.
Mr. Zhu summoned them to hunt the Deformed Beast, while he went to the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest to find Pandora.
"Okay, go."
After the Q&A session, Yu Ke patted the man on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave. He glanced at his injured leg and said,
"It's probably impossible to walk. Crawl. I'll keep my word and not kill you."
He poured out all the information he knew and finally got a chance to escape.
Although his mind was filled with resentment, the man's face was still full of gratitude when he looked at Yu Ke.
At this time, he didn't care about the injuries on his arms and legs. The man could only crawl to the side with all his strength, thinking about leaving here first, finding a safe place, and then contacting other teams in the organization to let them rescue him.
When he was about to crawl out of the temporary campsite, Yu Ke turned his head and looked at the hunting team leader who was gritting his teeth.
"Why are you still standing there? I said I won't kill him, but I didn't say you can't kill him."
The hunting team leader got permission and drew the short knife from his waist and rushed forward.
After a few screams, the forest returned to peace again, and only the bloody smell lingered.
"Leave here as soon as possible. There are corpses all over the ground. The beasts will definitely follow the smell. I don't have time to escort you. By the way, don't touch those things, otherwise you will die without knowing how."
Putting away the satellite phone, Yu Ke waved to the hunting team members who wanted to come forward to thank him.
He took action this time for the experience of these poachers. The satellite phone and the intelligence of the Nightmare Organization were indeed unexpected gains.
"I can't repay your kindness. You can take whatever you like. When we return, there will be a reward."
Although Yu Ke didn't seem to want a reward, the hunting team leader still spoke earnestly, thinking of what happened just now.
If it weren't for Yu Ke's righteousness, their hunting team would have been completely defeated by these poachers.
"I don't need anything."
Yu Ke glanced at the miserable state of the three people and shook his head.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he was stopped by the hunting team leader,
"Wait a moment, I have something you can use here, Xiao He, bring our folding boat!"
Yu Ke's steps were slightly hesitant.
Folding boats sound like a means of transportation that can be used in Mirror Lake?
Yu Ke came back in a hurry before, and he didn't know the location of Pandora's suspected hiding place, so he didn't prepare a means of transportation in Mirror Lake.
"This box contains the airboat we specially prepared for this operation, as well as a full set of inflatable and kinetic equipment, all of which are detachable. If you want to go to Jinghu Water Marsh, you will definitely need them!"
The hunting group suffered heavy casualties. They have lost the qualification to continue exploring Jinghu Forest. There is no point in keeping the folding boat. It will only increase the weight and make the return journey more difficult.
"You are OK, I will take it."
Originally, I wanted to go along the land. Now there is a folding airboat as a means of transportation, which undoubtedly gives Yu Ke more choices.
In return, Yu Ke told the few people the route they came from, which is safer.
After the explanation, he turned around and climbed up the tree, and disappeared into the darkness with a few leaps.
Even though the three people left behind were full of sadness, they did not dare to stay there for a long time, so they could only pack up and evacuate as soon as possible.
They also knew how attractive the corpses on the ground were to the ferocious beasts in the depths of Jinghu Forest.
Returned to the camping site.
The protective effect of the thorn jungle is indeed good, and everything was normal during the time Yu Ke was away.
After helping the frightened deer brush off the snow on the blanket, Yu Ke returned to the tent and sat down with a long sigh. He then contacted Ansili and told her the information that the Nightmare Organization had entered the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest.
