Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 129 Daxia Chronicle Officially Starts
The birth of Yue Yuan added a lot of icing on the cake to this great victory.

Counting the days, from the time when Xia Hong was in trouble and migrated to the valley that later became the home of the Rogue Camp, it has been a whole year since he came to this world.

During this entire year, there was not a single newborn baby in Daxia.

Xia Hong had never taken this matter to heart before. Before the new wooden house was built, the living conditions in Daxia were really too bad.

There is no roof over my head and no place to stand.

He was embarrassed to ask the people in the camp to have children under such conditions.

He had never thought about increasing the population by encouraging childbirth.

But the birth of Yue Yuan can probably be regarded as a sign that the people in the camp are becoming more willing to have children, and Xia Hong has also begun to pay attention to childbirth.

Asking about the spouses of Lin Kai and others is certainly not just gossip.

Xia Hong's deeper goal is to understand the number of people of childbearing age in the camp and see if there are any means to stimulate fertility.

The Lu Shang camp has been merged into another one, so there are no other known camps in Hongmuling. According to Daxia's current strength, it is likely that it will not be able to get out of the Hongmuling area for a long time. This means that the plan to increase the population by merging other camps is not feasible for the time being.

In this case, the only way is to stimulate fertility.

Looking at the little Yue Yuan in his arms who had not yet opened his eyes, Xia Hong's eyes showed a long-lost tenderness, and his heart was filled with deep joy.

Suddenly, an inexplicable thought came to his mind. Xia Hong turned around and looked at everyone, chuckling, "How much time has passed since the accident on the slope? Does anyone remember?"

“It’s been more than a year!”

"It should be about one year and four months."

"One year and five months."

…………

Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng and other early members of Da Xia spoke up one after another.

Seeing everyone talking to each other, they were unclear about the passage of time.

Xia Hong shook his head slightly, a look of helplessness suddenly appearing on his face.

This is the aftermath of the collapse of a civilization. Everyone has the concept of year, month, day, hour, minute and second, but because there are no special tools or personnel to record them, everyone's understanding of the passage of time depends entirely on memory and impression.

"If I remember correctly, there are four batches of crystal fruits ripening. When the fifth batch is ripe, we can determine the approximate time that has passed."

As soon as Xia Hong opened his mouth, everyone's eyes lit up and they all nodded.

Yes, from what I remember, it is definitely not as stable as the crystal fruit ripening period.

It is a recognized fact that the Bingshuo tree bears fruit once every four months. If there is a crop every four months, then four crops means sixteen months. When the fifth crop matures, it can be basically confirmed that it will be around twenty months.

"The harvesting period of crystal fruit, blue condensation grass, green saliva fruit and other vegetation after they mature, including the age of newborns in the camp in the future, all require the coordination of the year, month and day. We can't be vague about the time. Today happens to be a big victory for the camp, so let's just decide on it while Xiao Yueyuan is born!"

The other people below were fine with what they heard, but when the collection team heard it, their eyes immediately lit up and they all nodded in agreement.

"Chief, if I remember correctly, the Ice Tree will mature in the next few days. Let's set a date directly. In the future, our gathering team and logging team can make plans according to the date. This will be much more efficient."

Cheng Feng spoke directly. It was obvious that leading the collection team for a long time made him very sensitive to the passage of time. At the same time, he also knew how important Xia Hong's proposal was.

"In that case, starting today, the Great Xia calendar will be officially implemented. Today is the first day of the first month of the Great Xia year!"

Xia Hong's tone was a little excited when he said this.

Others don’t understand, but he is a man who has experienced two lifetimes.

He knew very well that chronology was the beginning of civilization!
With Daxia's current size and strength, it certainly has nothing to do with civilization, let alone such a grand goal as restoring human civilization.

But at least, it's a start.

Not to mention the many practical benefits that chronology brings and how much help it can bring to the future development of the camp, its significance alone is of great significance.

Nothing can be seen in the early stage, but when the Daxia calendar is combined with the growth cycle of all vegetation in the outside world, the activity cycle of cold beasts, and even climate change, etc., it will become truly valuable.

"Yue Feng, Yue Yuan is your son. You will be in charge of the Daxia Chronicle. In addition to completing the chronology based on the information brought back by the people who went out, you must also record all the major decisions and changes that happened in the camp before and in the future.

A goose leaves its voice behind when it passes by, and a person leaves his name behind when he passes by. Since we have lived in the Ice Abyss World, the Great Xia Camp must leave its own traces here. This way, if one day, our Great Xia really falls on bad luck and perishes, we can also leave a few words in this world. This will not only be convenient for future generations, but also make our trip worthwhile!"

Xia Hong's words seemed to open a door for everyone.

Whether it was Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng and other people in the Digging Realm, or other people in the Logging Realm, or even many ordinary people, a thoughtful look appeared on their faces.

Before this, their world was simple: foraging, improving, and staying alive.

But now, after hearing what Xia Hong said.

Some new ideas gradually emerged in their minds.

“A wild goose leaves its voice behind, a man leaves his name behind!”

"Leave your mark in the Ice Abyss world."

"Together with the Daxia camp, leaving traces?"

…………

Xia Hong didn't bother to explain to everyone.

How to live is a grand proposition.

To be honest, he couldn't explain it clearly.

But at the very least, the current Daxia Camp can provide these people with more choices and give them broader possibilities in life.

If you really want to understand this problem, you have to practice it yourself.

The same goes for himself!
"Okay, go and do your own things!"

Eighty-three preys needed to be processed, so many iron arrows needed to be re-polished, and many injured people needed to be healed, so Xia Hong suspended all outbound activities in the camp for three days. Of course, the most important reason was to avoid someone coming to the suddenly appeared Jingxian camp.

When you descend into the Ice Abyss world, you can be reborn in the area of ​​Redwood Ridge.

Xia Hong asked himself, his luck is still pretty good.

Not to mention the Daxia camp. Although it is weak, it still has basic conscience and ethics, and is very united. This is also the biggest reason why he was able to stay with everyone after Xia Ding's death.

The ones we met later included Dashi, Huang Zhao, Dachuan, and even Chen Ye who joined recently. No matter how strong the leaders or the people under them were, they were all kind-hearted.

Not to mention, there is also Luo Ming who is willing to hand over the precious land of the valley.

Although Luo Ming's starting point was to protect his son, before leaving, he was able to find a way to properly settle the remaining people in the camp, which fulfilled his duty as a good leader.

Walking along the earth slope, Xia Hong encountered camps and people who were all very nice.

He felt that he was lucky, and this was the most important point.

In fact, considering the cruelty of the Ice Abyss world, Xia Hong has always felt that people like Yang Ning and Li Hu, who treat human life as nothing and use people as bait to attract monsters with a clear conscience, should be the mainstream.

The worse the environment, the greater the good and evil that humans can unleash.

In fact, what Yang and Li said before did confirm his idea. In some large, giant or even larger camps, using human lives as bait should be the norm.

Since human life is disregarded, it is not surprising that worse things will happen next.

Therefore, the weaker the camp, the more it needs to hide its tracks.

This is not just to protect against cold beasts and monsters, humans also need to protect against them.

"If you are a camp that is stronger than Da Xia, you must not approach it without knowing its attitude and style of doing things. Otherwise, you will be doomed if you are not careful!"

Xia Hong returned to his room on the third floor. After sitting on the chair, he looked at the big hole on the sole of his foot and shook his head slightly.

No matter how powerful the Jinchong Powder is, an injury like this won't heal in a short time.

"At this rate of recovery, it will take at least half a month."

Xia Hong turned his head and looked at the chopping board next to the chair, on which were five pieces of cold beast meat.

He does not need to exchange contribution points for his cultivation expenses like other people do.

Xia Chuan sent someone to put fifty kilograms of cold beast meat in his room every day.

"Eighty-three gnawing rats can produce an estimated 20,000 kilograms of meat. Add to that the few flying dragons I killed a while ago, and the training expenses will at least be covered. Even if I am injured, I will concentrate on training for the next half month and try to increase my strength as much as possible to see if I can reach the limit of 30,000 kilograms!"

Although he has not tested it, Xia Hong estimated that his basic strength is already about 24,000. Judging from the previous rate of improvement, it should be a bit difficult to increase by 6,000 kilograms in half a month.

Moreover, his foot is injured now and he cannot punch normally, so the efficiency of absorbing the essence of the cold beast meat will definitely decrease.

"As much as we can get, there must be strong people at the Cold Resistance level in the Jingxian Camp. We still need to break through as soon as possible. Even if we haven't reached our limit, we should find a way to pass through the Arrow Bamboo Forest and go to Pingxi Plain!"

Until now, Xia Hong still doesn’t know how to break through to the cold-resistant level.

Judging from the words and actions of He Meng and others, it is not difficult to guess the style of action of this suddenly appearing Jingxian Camp. The other party has already occupied the arrow bamboo forest, and He Meng is even about to pass through the arrow bamboo forest and reach Hongmu Ridge.

It is estimated that it won’t be long before the scope of activities of the Jingxian Camp will expand to the north of Redwood Ridge.

By then, Da Xia will inevitably confront them.

Breaking through to the cold-resistant level is the most important thing at the moment!

Putting the cold beast meat into his mouth and chewing it, Xia Hong also clarified the main goal of the next stage.

If one leg is injured and cannot move, then use the other leg. If that doesn't work, use your fist. Anyway, as long as you exert your strength, there will always be a way.

However, Xia Hong’s high-intensity training did not last for even a day.

The next day, before it got dark, Xia Chuan brought people up and interrupted him.

"Chief, I have something important to discuss with you!"

Xia Hong frowned slightly, stopped practicing, and sat back in his chair.

"Come in."

Xia Chuan came in first, holding a bundle of iron arrows in his hand, followed by two people, the brothers Tong Xinglong and Tong Xingsheng, who were in charge of processing the prey in the camp supply department.

The two men were covering their palms, sweating profusely, and seemed to be in pain.

"what's the situation?"

Seeing the painful expressions on the two people's faces, Xia Hong quickly stood up and walked over.

"Brother, there's something wrong with the blood of the Rat King!"

Xia Chuan walked up and showed the bundle of iron arrows in his hand to Xia Hong.

"Brother, didn't you lure the Rat King up the tree before you injured it with a knife? Then Zhao Long and the other two shot twelve arrows at it. When we came back last night, we retrieved all the iron arrows, including the twelve on the tree."

"go on."

Xia Hong had already taken a total of eight iron arrows from Xia Chuan's hand. Seeing the bright red bloodstains on the arrowheads, he was stunned for a moment, then asked Xia Chuan to continue speaking and turned his gaze to the Tong Xinglong brothers.

"Last night we collected the ninety-six five-thousand-jin iron bows, Zhao Long's three ten-thousand-jin iron bows, and all the iron arrows, and asked Tong Xinglong and the other two to clean and polish them."

The Tong Xinglong brothers then showed their palms to Xia Hong.

There were small burns on the palms of both men. The wounds had turned black and were emitting wisps of smoke.

"These eight iron arrows must have hit the Rat King's body. The blood on the arrowheads must have come from him. We were just about to clean the eight iron arrows, but our hands were burned as soon as we touched the blood."
