Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

But regardless of whether they are the real boss or not, they cannot be let off the hook for daring to wreak havoc so recklessly in Qinglong Mountain.

He tightened the gun strap on his shoulder and decided to follow the trail to find out what was going on.

The deeper we went into the mountains, the denser the forest became, and the darker the light became.

Chen Yongqiang continued his pursuit for several more hours. Suddenly, the terrain ahead opened up, but the scene before him made his heart sink.

It's not a simple stream blockage at all!

Ahead, a ravine had been completely destroyed by a massive mudslide, with large amounts of mud, boulders, and broken logs forming a "dam" seven or eight meters high.

The upstream stream has been completely blocked, forming a small, murky lake with branches and leaves floating on its surface.

The lake was completely blocked, and the water level was significantly higher than the dry riverbed downstream. Beneath the calm surface lay enormous danger: if the dam could not withstand the pressure and collapsed, the downstream area would surely become a vast expanse of water.

Just as he was assessing the perilous situation, the system notification sounded in his mind again:

[Emergency system task triggered: Clear the landslide dam]

• Mission Description: A high-risk barrier lake has been detected ahead due to a landslide. The water level is rising continuously, and the dam structure is extremely unstable, seriously threatening the downstream ecosystem and the safety of wildlife passing through. Timely dredging and drainage are necessary to eliminate the hazard.

Task Reward: Successfully clearing the blockage will reward you with 100 Blessing Points.

Special note: The project involves a large amount of work and complex terrain, posing a risk of dam failure. Please proceed with caution.

"Hiss..." Chen Yongqiang gasped.

The project was far more extensive and extremely dangerous than he had imagined.

The dam formed by the piled-up rocks looked very unstable and could collapse again at any time or be washed away by the rising lake water.

He looked up at the sky; it was already afternoon.

"It's a bit difficult, but I have to get these 100 points of blessing." Chen Yongqiang now understands the wonderful use of blessing points very well.

Faced with such a generous reward and imminent danger, he had no reason to back down.

He didn't rush forward to attack. The most urgent task was to find a safe campsite.

Such a massive project could not be completed in a short time. He had to spend the night there and find a high place to take refuge in case the dam collapsed.

He carefully looked around and finally selected a small platform about 100 meters away from the landslide dammed lake, which was significantly higher than the lake surface and backed by a solid rock wall.

The view here is relatively open, allowing one to observe the lake and dam, and to quickly move to higher mountains to the side and rear in case of danger.

He unloaded his equipment, first clearing a clean open space, then using a machete to cut some scented insect-repelling shrub branches and leaves to lay around the area, and also collected a lot of dry firewood to prepare for starting a fire at night.

Next, he packed his hunting rifle, ammunition, and most importantly, dry food and medicine into an emergency pack and placed it within easy reach, so that he could grab it and run if anything happened.

After completing these preparations, it was already getting late.

Chen Yongqiang then lit a small campfire at the campsite and ate a simple meal of the dry rations prepared by Bu Linxiulian.

Night fell over the mountains and forests, the crackling of the campfire and the occasional hooting of owls echoing in the distance.

By the light of the campfire, Chen Yongqiang was repeatedly rehearsing in his mind the route for hunting the wild boar king and the possible situations he might encounter.

Suddenly, a faint sound of water interrupted his thoughts.

The sound came from that desolate, barrier-dammed lake.

He immediately became alert, moved silently to the edge of the camp, and looked out at the lake in the dim moonlight.

Near the dam, in the shallow water, several dark figures were swimming nimbly in the murky water, occasionally scratching at the pile of branches with their front paws, making strange noises.

They're beavers! And there's more than one.

Chen Yongqiang observed carefully. These beavers seemed to have their eyes on this embankment made of piled-up rocks and broken logs, and were busily modifying and reinforcing it as their ideal habitat and hunting ground.

This behavior undoubtedly exacerbates the danger of the landslide dam. Even if he manages to clear it with all his might, it is not impossible that these hardworking architects will block it up again before long.

"So these guys were behind this. They really know how to pick a spot." Chen Yongqiang realized.

If the beaver population is not controlled, it will be devastating to the fish resources of local waters, and now it directly threatens the major plan to dredge the landslide-dammed lake.

He picked up the hunting rifle and took the miner's lamp out of his backpack.

After turning on the lights, they spotted two beavers that were working.

The beavers were startled by the sudden bright light and stopped moving.

At that very moment, the crisp sound of gunshots shattered the silence of the mountain night.

A few small ripples splashed on the water's surface, and two beavers sank into the water and remained motionless.

The others, startled, let out sharp cries and quickly dived into the deep water and disappeared.

Controlling the beaver population is not only to ensure that the dredging project is not damaged, but also to maintain the ecological balance of this waterway for a longer period of time.

"Some of the hidden dangers have been eliminated," he muttered to himself, reloading his shotgun before getting up and walking to the edge of the murky embankment.

Chen Yongqiang used a tree branch to scoop up the two beavers that had floated nearby.

The adult beaver was quite large. He weighed it in his hand and said, "This beaver pelt, once tanned, is worth more than ten rabbit pelts. We can't waste it."

Chen Yongqiang sat by the fire and began processing the hides. He peeled off two relatively intact pieces of skin, rubbed them simply with the salt he carried with him, and then laid them out to dry on a well-ventilated stone.

Next, he gutted the two beavers, cleaned their internal organs, and buried them in the ground some distance away.

He selected a relatively plump one, skewered it with a sharpened branch, and slowly roasted it over the rekindled campfire.

Soon, the fat sizzled under the licking of the flames, emitting a unique aroma unlike that of livestock meat.

He turned the branch to ensure the meat was heated evenly until the skin turned golden brown and crispy.

After roasting, Chen Yongqiang tore off a piece of hind leg meat and tasted it.

The meat is firm and has a stronger, more fishy taste than pork, but a more robust flavor than fish, with the savory character of wild game from the mountains and forests.

Before long, they had eaten most of the beaver, and wrapped the remaining meat in large leaves and stored it in their spatial storage.

Having eaten and drunk my fill, my strength has been largely restored. As a hunter, wilderness survival is the most basic skill.

The next morning, Chen Yongqiang woke up. He checked his hunting rifle to make sure it was in perfect condition, and then began to patrol the outer perimeter of the dam formed by the landslide dam.

He needs to assess the dam's condition during the day and find a suitable entry point for dredging.

As soon as Chen Yongqiang circled around to the side of the dam closest to the mountain wall, he spotted a rather large beaver frantically gnawing at a big tree with its sharp incisors.

"They really won't give up!"

He slowly raised his gun, steadied himself against the tree trunk, and aimed the muzzle at the beaver that was causing trouble.

"Bang!"

The bullet hit its target precisely. The beaver fell to the ground, its limbs twitched a few times, and then it lay still.

After a while, he also processed the beaver, gaining another pelt and a meat reserve.

"It seems that before clearing the way, we need to let these guys know that this is not a place for them."
