Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 28: Just surviving is not enough [Seeking follow-up reading]

"elder brother……"

Xia Chuan was in a hurry to speak and accidentally changed the address to "brother". Xia Hong glared at him and he quickly changed his words.

"Leader, we all agree that we should still do as we did before, with 90% of the cold beast meat going to those of us who go out hunting, and the remaining 1% going to the others. This way we can quickly become stronger, and we will get more prey."

Yuan Cheng on the other side couldn't help but speak.

"In addition, there are crystal fruit quotas. Two per person per day is too much. We should return to the previous quota of one per person per day, which is enough to sustain their survival.

Those three Bingshuo trees haven't produced any new fruit yet. At the current rate of consumption, they will only be enough to last for a month at most. If the new crop doesn't grow after we finish eating it, it will be a big problem by then."

In fact, people want to restore the old system.

Xia Hong already knew it in his heart.

Including himself, there are currently eight loggers in the camp.

It is not much different from when Xia Ding was here.

The logging team has been reorganized, so the old system should be restored.

Not only Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng and others, but even his younger brother Xia Chuan thought so.

Xia Hong did not answer immediately. He looked around at everyone before slowly speaking:
"Let me ask you a question. What is the goal of the seven of you?"

"Live."

Xia Chuan was the first to speak.

"To stay alive and to feed my mother."

"Live, and let my brother live too."

"Protect my sister and stay alive."

…………

Although the seven people's answers were different, the content they expressed was almost the same, which was nothing more than surviving and protecting their loved ones.

"If that's the case, why don't we just go out and look for ice trees and pick crystal fruits every day? Why do we have to go through so much trouble and risk our lives to hunt?"

Xia Hong's question surprised everyone.

"Because you all know that the only way to survive is to become stronger, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then when I hunted the first Snowmane, I shouldn't have shared it with you. I ate all the flesh and blood of the cold beast by myself, and became stronger quickly. Shouldn't I have been able to continue living?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, and then one after another, looks of shame appeared on their faces.

"My goal is to become stronger and survive. The same is true for you and them."

When talking about "them", Xia Hong stretched out his hand and pointed at the rest of the people in the camp gathered around the campfire, and then continued:

"During this time, you have all followed me out, and you should have seen that the strength of the cold beast is far stronger than ours, so whether it is relying on me alone or the eight of us, we cannot guarantee our survival."

Xia Hong paused and added:
"Even if there were thirteen people, it wouldn't have been a problem for our father's group, right?"

“I shared the cold beast meat with you because I know that if you want to survive, relying on one person’s strength is far from enough, so I hope that you can break through quickly. This way, there will be more people in the logging realm, and it will be safer for us to go out, and we will harvest more from logging and hunting.

I am now distributing the bulk of the cold beast meat to the rest of the young people in the camp. My original intention is the same as before. I hope that there will be more and more people in the logging realm in the camp and the team will become larger and larger. "

After Xia Hong finished speaking, he saw that everyone was thinking with their heads down, and sighed slightly.

In fact, this is a question of distribution of benefits.

Since ancient times, interests have moved people's hearts, let alone this kind of interests that concern life.

Is there any problem with the rules implemented by Xia Ding before?

Actually not.

But it depends on the situation. At that time, the Daxia camp had no hunting capabilities, so the meat of cold beasts was hard to come by, sometimes available and sometimes not.

With more monks than meat, Xia Ding could only give priority to the logging team members. Now it was different. With the small torches that could attract cold beasts, the camp had the ability to hunt initially. There was no shortage of cold beast meat, at least there was much more than before.

If we stick to the old system, it will not only be unpopular, but will also greatly slow down the development of the camp.

Let me tell you the simplest truth.

Xia Hong has now been able to free himself from the work of logging. Now, every time he goes out, the logging work is taken care of by Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng, while he is specifically responsible for surveying the terrain and looking for the location of the cold beast.

It can be foreseen that when there are enough members in the logging realm in the future, the camp can be divided into two teams, one responsible for hunting and the other responsible for logging. Even a team can be sent to pick crystal fruits and explore the terrain.

Any organization that wants to increase its profits must divide the work and assign different responsibilities to different departments, each of which performs its duties in order to maximize profits.

This was a very simple truth in his previous life, but at this moment, Xia Hong could only be patient and explain it to them in words they could understand.

“The cold beasts are very powerful, but have you noticed that the more people like Yue Feng and Lin Kai break through, the higher our hunting success rate will be. Xu Ning also broke through today, so our success rate may be even higher tomorrow.

Think about it, if there are 20, 30, or even 40 or 50 people in the Woodcutters Realm, then by then, whether it is a Snowmane or a Frost Wolf, we can kill it with our lives. Why would we be worried about not having Frost Beast Meat? "

This sentence made Xia Chuan and others' eyes light up.

They all witnessed the steady increase in the success rate of hunting while following Xia Hong during this period, and it was true that the more people there were, the higher the success rate.

Especially Xia Hong's next sentence, that forty or fifty people could kill the cold beast by piling up, made them think even more.

During this period, they had only dealt with two types of cold beasts: Snowmane and Frostwolf. Although it was single, they had the most detailed understanding of the habits and strength of these two types of cold beasts.

The Snowmane is very powerful, but its maximum weight is only about ten thousand pounds; the Frost Wolf's advantage is speed, not great strength. As Xia Hong said, if there really were forty or fifty logger-level fighters, it would not be a problem to hunt these two cold beasts head-on.

"Also, you all need to remember what I'm going to say next."

Xia Hong stood up, pointed at the people around the campfire, and said in a deep voice:
“You all just said that you wanted to protect your loved ones, whether it’s your brother or sister or mother, and that’s great, but I also want you to remember.

The world outside is full of dangers, and none of us can guarantee that we can survive every time we go out or hunt.

One day, if any of us dies accidentally, your loved ones will be among those people.

If someone proposed not to give them any cold beast meat and only let them eat one crystal fruit a day, would you hope that I would agree?"

Xia Hong deliberately raised his voice when asking the last question.

This question was like a deafening wake-up call, and the seven people's bodies were shocked.

They all realized instantly how selfish and foolish the thoughts in their minds were.

Especially Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng, who had just proposed the reform proposal, lowered their heads with shame on their faces.

"We are a whole, and since we are a whole, we can't just think about ourselves. The meat of the cold beast is very important because it can make people stronger, but if only a few people become stronger, it will be like what happened when the last logging team was here. You all saw the final result with your own eyes.

In the face of the monster, we had no power to fight back and could only wait to be killed.

Therefore, we must improve our overall strength. When one day everyone in the camp is at the level of lumberjack, will we still be afraid of the cold beasts?

By then, even if monsters come, we will be able to fight them.

Please note that when I say the whole, it also includes your relatives.”

Xia Hong also spoke these words with emotion.

After everyone heard this, their expressions gradually changed from shame to determination, and they looked at Xia Hong with more and more conviction.

In fact, at some point, many people gathered around the campfire, and when they heard what Xia Hong said, their faces were filled with emotion.

“Our goal is to survive, but just surviving is not enough, we need to live with dignity and confidence.

We are human beings, not creatures of the shadows.

Those cold beasts and monsters, they are the ones.

Sooner or later I will make them kneel down before me, before the Great Summer Camp, and tremble!"

　Brothers, it is very important to follow the reading period of a new book. I hope that whether you are still reading or are currently reading it, you can give me some help. I will be very grateful. If you enjoy reading it, I definitely hope that more people will see this book. I am about to start a PK. Brothers, please help!
