Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 128 Newborn, Yue Yuan
As soon as Xia Hong and others evacuated, the entire area near the mountain wall fell into silence.

After more than a hundred breaths, He Meng and fourteen others walked out of the arrow bamboo forest again. Looking from afar at the Da Xia group, whose outlines they could only see, He Meng had a gloomy expression and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Humph! I sent a whistle to guard behind. These guys are quite cautious!"

"There are too many people, and the leaders are quite strong. We can't keep them here by force."

"The leader named Xia Hong, the long sword in his hand is stained with the blood of the Rat King. His strength is very strong. If he is not at the cold-resistant level, he should be close to it."

"There are hundreds of lumberjacks, and they are equipped with hundreds of bows. These are just the ones who go out, not counting those who stay behind. This Daxia should be a large camp."

"There is a high probability that there are strong people at the cold-resistant level. It should be a large camp!"

"Didn't Lu He say that there was only one medium-sized camp called Rogge and five or six small camps in Hongmu Ridge? How come there is another Daxia camp?"

Hearing everyone's discussions, He Meng looked downcast, recalling how Xia Hong had just brought hundreds of people to ask him and his group to get out, and his eyes became even colder.

He offered to take all the prey, of course just as a test.

Once Xia Hong agrees or gives in, he will roughly know the quality and strength of the Daxia Camp.

However, Xia Hong's flat refusal and direct hostility made him feel more fearful.

Therefore, even though the people of Daxia knew that they had just successfully driven away a swarm of hundreds of rats, they definitely did not have many iron arrows in their hands.

Moreover, Xia Hong and the others were not in their prime, but he still led everyone to endure it.

"What's the situation in Daxia? We'll know when we go back and ask Lao Lu and the others. A large camp is best, with at least 2,000 people. Reporting it to the lord will be a great achievement. Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, looking somewhat excited. It was obvious that the first merit that He Meng mentioned had a strong appeal to them.

………………

He Meng and others went into the bamboo forest again, while on the other side, Xia Hong, with trepidation, finally returned to the valley base with the Da Xia group.

"Seal off the passage, everyone go indoors, and for the next three days, all outdoor activities are stopped. We will make arrangements after three days!"

Xia Hong returned to the lobby on the second floor of the wooden house and immediately gave the order.

"Yes, leader!"

Xia Chuan and the others knew clearly that he was worried that the people from Jingxian Camp would come to investigate Daxia in the next few days, so they nodded in response.

"Send all eighty-three rodents to the camp supply station. Have Tong Xinglong and the other two expedite their treatment. As for Luo Yuan and the other injured, quickly arrange for treatment!"

As soon as Xia Hong finished speaking, several women rushed up, pressed him directly on the chair behind him, and then began to clean and bandage his feet.

Luo Yuan entered the house first, and as soon as he came in, someone carried him upstairs, so not many people saw the bloody hole on his shoulder.

At this moment, Xia Hong's feet were directly exposed in front of everyone.

hiss…………

When everyone saw the bloody hole, they couldn't help but gasp.

The blood hole, as big as a baby's fist, went through the entire sole of the foot. Even though the Golden Wound Powder had taken effect, part of the flesh and blood near the hole had not yet healed, allowing vision to pass right through it.

It must be painful to have such a big hole in the sole of your foot!

Those who stayed in the camp and did not go out tonight could not help but feel a chill down their spines when they saw such horrific wounds, and then their hearts were filled with admiration for Xia Hong;
The hundreds of people who went out thought about how Xia Hong had suffered such a serious injury on his foot, and had just fought against the people from Jingxian Camp, and even followed them all the way back as if nothing had happened. When they looked at Xia Hong again, their eyes were full of respect.

"Chief, you should take good care of your injuries first!"

Xia Chuan leaned in to take a closer look at the wound on the sole of Xia Hong's foot, his face full of worry.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Long and the others also spoke up.

"That's right, Chief, you are seriously injured, you should rest quickly."

"If anyone from the Jingxian camp dares to come, I will fight them!"

"Yes, Chief, you take a rest first, we will take care of the rest."

…………

Looking up and seeing the worry in everyone's eyes, Xia Hong felt a little warm in his heart. Seeing that everyone in the camp had gathered together, he remembered that he had been back for so long and had not yet told them about the results of tonight's battle. After a moment's silence, he said:

"By the way, have you seen the rats we just brought back?"

Of course, everyone who went out tonight knew what Xia Hong was going to say next, and they all showed pride on their faces;

Most of those who did not go out had guessed it, and a look of anticipation appeared on their faces.

"The rats on the north slope have been driven away. We are safe!"

…………

Except for the one hundred people who went out, all the rest of the people showed joy on their faces when they heard Xia Hong's words. After a moment's silence, they suddenly burst into loud cheers.

"I knew that if the leader took action, these rats would be in trouble!"

"Hahahaha, those beasts killed so many of us some time ago, and today they finally got their retribution."

"The valley is safe, the valley is safe, the leader is mighty!"

"The leader is mighty!"

………………

The people of Daxia, who had been troubled by a swarm of rats for more than a month, finally felt relieved at this moment; Chen Ying and his son, who had later merged into Daxia, and the more than 200 people in Chen Ye’s camp, were even more ecstatic.

Especially those who had relatives killed by rats, they were so excited that they shed tears, and looked at Xia Hong with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

The greatest need of humans in the Ice Abyss world is a sense of security.

This sense of security is not just psychological, but practical.

The swarm of rodents was lurking less than two kilometers away, and everyone was in a state of fear during this period.

If not for this, everyone would not have been able to show such high enthusiasm when forging bows and practicing archery in the previous twenty days.

It can be said that for more than a month, everyone in the Daxia camp seemed to have a sword hanging over their heads, a sword that could be chopped down at any time.

And at this moment, with Xia Hong's announcement, the sword finally disappeared.

One can imagine the excitement in everyone's hearts at this moment.

"Wow…………"

The cheers of the crowd were suddenly interrupted by a loud baby voice.

Everyone suddenly fell silent. Even Xia Hong couldn't help but turn around and look towards the room where the baby's crying sound came from.

The crying sound was clearly audible, coming from the room closest to the hall.

"Baby, who's having a baby?"

"Mine, mine, it's mine!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, and then a figure quickly squeezed out from the crowd and rushed directly towards the room.

"Yue Feng?"

When they saw that man, Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and many people in the Da Xia camp were stunned for a moment.

Yue Feng rushed over, but before he could enter, the door was opened from the inside.

Three women walked out of the room. The one in the middle who was being supported was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a fur cloak and holding a baby in her arms. She walked in a weak posture, and it was obvious that she was a woman who had just given birth.

Although her face was very pale, she looked at the baby in her arms with a smile on her face and her pupils were full of joy.

"Brother Feng, it's a son. I gave birth to a son for you."

"Hahahaha, that's great, Wan, you've worked hard!"

………………

Seeing Yue Feng happily holding his son, Xia Hong had a strange look on his face. He turned to look at Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, Lin Kai and others without any surprise on his face. He immediately realized that he was the only one who was kept in the dark about Yue Feng having a wife.

"Brother, you may not know this, but Yue Feng and Lin Wan have been together since Tupo. I haven't seen Lin Wan for several months. I was wondering why she was hiding in her room every day. It turns out that she was secretly giving birth to a child..."

Hearing Xia Chuan's last teasing, Xia Hong couldn't help but smile.

All in all, Yue Feng and Lin Wan are among the oldest people in the Daxia camp.

After Xia Ding's death, the first group of lumberjacks he trained were Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng. The second group was Yue Feng, Lin Kai, Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and Lu Yang.

Yue Feng is the oldest among the five, so it is not surprising that he has a child.

"By the way, I remember that Lin Wan is Lin Kai's sister, right?"

Xia Chuan nodded and replied, "Yes, Lin Kai has taken people to the valley entrance to seal the passage. When he comes back soon, he will definitely be very happy."

Being an uncle, of course I should be happy.

Bingyuan is not a normal world. Although the men and women in the camp adhere to the concept of monogamy from generation to generation, they don't pay much attention to marriage etiquette. Most of them get together if they fall in love with each other. If Xia Hong doesn't take the initiative to get to know each other, it is normal for him not to know.

Xia Hong's mind was slightly moved. He turned his head to look at Yuan Cheng and the others, and then asked Xia Chuan, "Who else among them has found a wife?"

"Lin Kai, Qiu Peng, Xu Ning, and Lu Yang have all been found. Yuan Cheng is having a hot relationship with Shi Ping's sister recently, so it should be soon, hahahaha..."

People can't help but gossip about things between men and women. Xia Chuan said this while sticking his lips out towards Yuan Cheng, obviously teasing him.

Seeing Yuan Cheng touching his head embarrassedly and looking shy, Xia Hong couldn't help but smile and gave him a thumbs up.

"You have good vision, kid, keep going!"

Shi Ping's sister is called Shi Lu. He had seen her when he rescued the Dashi camp. She was indeed very pretty.

Seeing that Xia Chuan was still laughing foolishly, he deliberately frowned and scolded him, "You only know how to laugh. It's almost time for you to find a wife!"

Hearing Xia Hong's scolding, Xia Chuan subconsciously shrank his neck, but then he thought of something and immediately turned around to look at Xia Hong with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Not only him, Yuan Cheng, Lin Kai, but also many people around him.

Hearing Xia Hong say this, their faces suddenly became a little strange.

The elder brother hasn't even gotten married yet, but he's already taking care of his younger brother.

Cough cough cough......

Xia Hong also realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and he quickly coughed a few times, trying to change the subject.

But by chance, Yue Feng came over with the child in his arms to rescue him.

"Chief, the camp won a great victory today, and my son came at the right time. Yue Feng dares to ask the chief to give the child a name!"

Xia Hong helped up Yue Feng who was about to bow, took the child from his hands, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

The people in the Bingyuan world have very strong physical fitness. For example, after Lin Wan gave birth, she was able to walk out as if nothing had happened. However, the strong physical fitness of adults does not mean that babies will also be strong.

In fact, because babies are inherently weak and the environment is harsh, the smaller and weaker the camp, the lower the fertility rate.

Strictly speaking, the child in his hand was the first child born in the camp after he came to the Ice Abyss World.

And it was chosen to be tonight, the day of this great victory of driving away the swarm of rats.

It happened that he came back and led everyone to discuss matters on the second floor.

It is indeed very meaningful!

"Without the threat of the rat swarm, starting from today, Daxia can rest easy in the Redwood Ridge area in the short term. This is a new beginning, and the arrival of a newborn at this time is just right.

Just call him Yuan."

"Yue Yuan!"
