Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Xia Hong's style was completely different from the previous logging teams. Although it was based on abundant resources, the people in the camp who didn't understand the reason didn't care.

They only thought that Xia Hong was capable and selfless.

Since the night they shared the meat of the Frost Beast, everyone in the camp showed fanaticism when they saw Xia Hong, and respectfully called him 'Leader'.

Respect, admiration, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was almost to the level of a believer.

Xia Hong would not foolishly stop everyone from doing this; special circumstances required special measures.

Hiding in the shadows for years, unable to see the sun, with barely enough food or clothing, extreme despair was not enough to describe the plight of the humans in the camp.

In such a world, having someone to rely on in their hearts was not a bad thing.

After all, with someone to rely on in their hearts, people naturally had hope.

Of course, all of this had to be based on having enough Frost Beast meat.

After setting aside seventy pounds and dividing the rest according to the ratio of three to five to two, Xia Hong received one hundred and twenty pounds of Frost Beast meat. According to his current cultivation progress, this meat would only last him half a month.

Yue Feng and the other four also received one hundred and twenty pounds each. Xia Hong estimated that, based on their progress, the meat they received this time would not be enough for them to break through.

Therefore, there was still a shortage of Frost Beast meat, and hunting could not stop.

Fortunately, as long as there were no accidents, they would at least not lack small fire starters.

"The collection of wood cannot stop. As long as there is a constant supply of small fire starters, hunting is just a matter of probability. If we encounter a strong one, don't be reckless. As long as we can attract Frost Beasts every time, we will eventually have a harvest."

After the Frost Beast meat was distributed, everyone began to gather around the bonfire to roast the meat.

Before long, the entire cave was filled with the aroma of meat. Those in the camp who hadn't eaten it for a long time, or had never tasted Frost Beast meat, showed expressions of intoxication on their faces.

Looking at the satisfied expressions on everyone's faces, something in Xia Hong's heart seemed to be gently touched.

A meal of meat was an extremely simple thing in his previous life.

But here, it had become a luxury for these people.

He, who had suffered from ALS in his previous life, had once hated the world and blamed it for being unfair. He had even chosen to end his own life in the end.

He felt it was unfair, but what about these people in the Great Xia camp?

And what about the other humans living in this terrifying frozen world?

Did these people think it was fair?

Who should they blame for living in the shadows?

"Perhaps, the reason I came to this world was to hope that I could do something for them…"

…

Meanwhile, as the Great Xia camp was jubilant.

Outside Redwood Ridge, Shi Qing led the twelve members of the Great Stone Logging Team, searching several circles in Great Xia's territory, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

"For three consecutive days, we haven't even found a single hair. Don't the Old Ding's group need to come out and look for food?"

Shi Dong was irritable. After searching several circles without results, he became a little impatient.

Wang Ming, who was holding a broadsword on the side, also frowned, but after turning his head to look in the direction of the east side of Redwood Ridge, he turned around and said to Shi Qing:

"Brother, how about we go to the earth slope over there?"

As soon as Wang Ming said these words, everyone immediately fell silent.

Even Shi Qing did not answer immediately, but fell into silence.

Small camps like theirs basically adhered to a potential rule.

That was, they must maintain secrecy from each other.

Human nature under resource scarcity was extremely terrifying.

Around Redwood Ridge, there used to be dozens of camps in the beginning.

When food was plentiful, naturally there was nothing to worry about.

But once they could not obtain crystal fruit and other food, and they reached the end of their rope.

People, were not inedible either.

Moreover, only those in the Logging Realm could freely go out at night. It was difficult not to make people think wildly when a person in the Logging Realm rashly broke into another camp.

Therefore, the weaker the camps, the more secretive they were from each other.

Of course, because Great Stone was a neighbor of Great Xia, even if they were secretive, they generally knew each other's location, just not very accurately.

But if, as Wang Ming said, they went to the earth slope now and found out the location of the Great Xia camp.

Then the feud between the two sides would be great.

It was even possible that it would develop into a situation of endless conflict.

"There's no need. Old Ding helped us before, and I didn't really want to do anything to him. A lesson so that they don't have any more crooked ideas in the future is enough."

Shi Qing shook his head, denying Wang Ming's suggestion.

Although there was competition between small camps, frankly speaking, they were all people seeking survival in a humble way.

He was certainly angry that Great Xia had picked up the Snow Mane for cheap.

But in all fairness, the other party had not directly harmed them.

Moreover, Xia Ding had helped when they lacked manpower for hunting before.

There was no need to make it too ugly.

"Hey, there are people over there, is that Old Ding?"

While pondering, Shi Dong suddenly pointed to the inner edge of the dense forest.

Shi Qing and the others followed his gaze.

The newest and fastest novels are at 69shu.com!

Sure enough, in the depths of the dense forest, there were more than a dozen figures slowly walking towards them.

Shi Qing was an archer with excellent vision, and he quickly identified that there were thirteen of them.

And the Great Xia camp's logging team, including Xia Ding, was exactly thirteen people.

Taking another closer look at the figure of the person leading the team, Shi Qing immediately confirmed it.

"It's Old Ding, we finally found him, let's go over with me!"

They finally found the person in charge.

Shi Dong, Wang Ming, and the other ten people immediately followed behind Shi Qing.

Sure enough, it was Xia Ding.

Seeing that the leader was indeed Xia Ding, the fact that three brothers had died a few days ago, and that the Snow Mane had been picked up for cheap, both things suddenly floated to the minds of the Great Stone camp members, and suddenly each of them became furious.

"Old Ding, after being neighbors for so many years, you actually dared to scheme against me!"

Unlike Shi Qing's relatively polite reprimand, Shi Dong and Wang Ming were very impolite, even excessive.

"Xia Ding, how many pounds of meat are left of that Snow Mane, hand it all over to me, otherwise don't blame the arrows in my hand for not recognizing people."

"Three of our brothers died, and you didn't even say hello before taking the Snow Mane away. If you don't give an explanation today, don't even think about leaving."

However, after the three of them finished speaking, neither Xia Ding nor the twelve people behind him had any reaction.

They just stared at them blankly.

After a long time, a smile gradually appeared on Xia Ding's face.

It was just that this smile seemed extremely strange to the members of the Great Stone camp.

This smile was obviously very normal, but no matter how they looked at it, it looked like a person whose facial features were not very coordinated was forcibly forcing it out.

Shi Qing frowned, and before he could speak, his younger brother Shi Dong, who was next to him, couldn't help but take two steps forward and cursed loudly:

"What are you smiling at, are you deaf?"

But even when scolded, Xia Ding's group still didn't have any reaction.

Looking at the stiff expression on Xia Ding's face, and the twelve logging team members standing in the shadows behind him, Shi Qing instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Whoosh…

A sharp sound, like a silver needle piercing the air, suddenly rang out.

Shi Qing's face suddenly changed drastically, his body first retreated sharply backwards, then he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, shouting loudly at the crowd:

"Something's wrong, retreat quickly!"

However, it was already too late.

The three people with the slowest retreat speed suddenly had stiff expressions, standing in place, motionless.

Taking a closer look, the pupils of the three people had already dilated, and a tiny red dot had appeared between their eyebrows.

Blood gradually flowed out from within the red dot.

Three corpses fell to the ground with a crash.

Shi Qing and the others were filled with horror.
