Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 40 Contradiction [Please continue reading! ]

"I took such a big risk to help you bunch of losers get rid of the ghost. It's fine if you don't feel grateful, but you dare to put on such a face. Do you really think I have no temper?"

Li Hu did not say these words in a calm and peaceful manner. He was full of energy and anger, and he looked at everyone with an extremely dissatisfied expression. It was obvious that he was really angry.

However, the word "waste" from his mouth instantly ignited the dissatisfaction that had been pent up for many days.

Shi Qing had already taken two steps forward, but when he was about to retort, he was stopped by Luo Ming in front of him.

Looking at Luo Ming's slightly pleading eyes, Shi Qing gritted his teeth, but finally held back and did not speak.

But Li Hu's emotions had not yet calmed down, especially when he saw Shi Qing's actions. He knew that this man was going to refute him. Luo Ming's obstruction did not make him relax, but his tone became even more harsh:

"What? You don't accept that I call you useless? Believe it or not, as soon as the two of us leave, that wooden puppet will come. Even if all of you useless people are combined, you will not be its match."

Shi Qing could endure it, but the leaders of the other four camps couldn't.

Hong Gang, Huang Yong, Lu He, and Chen Ying, all four of them stood up.

But just as they were about to speak, Yang Ning, who had been watching coldly, spoke.

"That's enough, Tiger, stop talking!"

Although he took the initiative to interrupt Li Hu and stop the conflict between the two groups, Yang Ning showed deep dissatisfaction on his face when he looked at everyone.

"Captain Luo, you were the one who asked us to help you, and all of you promised to cooperate. You all have eyes. That wooden puppet is very powerful. I won't say much. If you really don't need our help, just say it now. Li Hu and I will leave immediately!"

After hearing what Yang Ning said, Luo Ming suddenly fell into an inner struggle.

Not only him, but also the leaders of the other four camps who had decided to withdraw, including Shi Qing who suffered the most serious losses, all looked hesitant.

Although they were angry, Yang Ning's words gave them a slap in the face in a very realistic way.

Without these two people, they are indeed no match for the wooden puppet.

If Yang and Li really left, given the murderous nature of the wooden puppet, their six camps would surely be destroyed in the end.

"Brother, no matter how much you explain, they won't understand. It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die. Let these idiots fend for themselves. Let's go back!"

"Two adults, please calm down."

Seeing Li Hu pulling Yang Ning to leave, Luo Ming quickly stood up, bowed to the two of them to apologize, and said in an embarrassed tone: "In the past few days, many woodcutters have died in the camps. The leaders are also very anxious. I hope the two adults will understand."

Luo Ming had no choice. The camp on the Redwood Ridge was indeed too weak.

In addition, they have no connection with the outside world, so once Yang and Li leave, they will be truly isolated and helpless. If evil monsters come to their door, no one will be able to stop them.

Seeing that Yang and Li's expressions were not as resolute as before, Luo Ming continued:
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly, but this is not a solution. In the past half month, a total of 29 woodcutters have died in the four camps.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the two adults. We are in a remote area. Except for the Rogue Camp, which is in a better situation, everyone in the other five camps relies on the combat power of the lumberjacks to survive.

If they all die here, the people in their camps will probably starve to death or freeze to death even if they are not killed by the monster. "Yang Ning once again used his eyes to stop Li Hu who wanted to speak, and after lowering his head and thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I understand your difficulties, but I can also tell you clearly that the speed at which the monster's strength is increasing is hard for you to imagine. You are no match for it now. If it is delayed for a few more days, it is hard to imagine how strong it will be. "

Having said this, he paused, looked up and met Luo Ming's gaze, and continued with a sincere expression:

"Believe me, it's totally worth sacrificing a few people to kill that wooden puppet!"

Li Hu couldn't help but speak at this time, with a sneer on his face:

"Fools, sometimes, necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. You don't even understand this. Are you qualified to be a leader? You are lucky to have met the two of us. If we weren't for the fact that we are both human, we wouldn't help you."

"My Lords, I admit that you are both very capable and powerful, and you are the only ones who can deal with the monsters. However, the only two of us brothers left in the Dashi camp are the woodcutters. We really can't send anyone out, and we can't help much."

Although Li Hu's words made sense, Shi Qing finally lost his patience after hearing him call someone a waste and a fool.

Originally, the Dashi camp suffered the greatest losses and he had the strongest intention to retreat. In addition, Li Hu was so disrespectful and ridiculed him repeatedly, which added fuel to his desire to retreat.

But even so, Shi Qing knew that the two were not people he could offend, so although his tone was stiff, he did not dare to show any displeasure on his face. He just bowed respectfully to the two, then turned to Luo Ming and said:
"Captain Luo, I'm really sorry, we two have to withdraw. We have been out for more than half a month, and the camp should be short of food. If we don't go back, people will starve to death."

Luo Ming opened his mouth to ask for permission to stay, but when he looked behind Shi Qing and saw only Shi Dong standing alone, he held back his words. He just raised his head to glance at the position of the moon in the sky, and then said:
"Brother Shi, it will be dawn soon. Let's go back to the Rogue Camp first. Tomorrow night, I will pack a bag of crystal fruit and you can take it with you."

Hearing this, Shi Qing's face immediately showed gratitude.

"Thank you, Chief Luo. Shi Qing is very grateful!"

Seeing that the other four leaders were ready to leave with Shi Qing, Luo Ming quickly said, "My lords, the day is about to dawn. Let's go back to the camp first and discuss the rest of the matter together."

The four leaders looked at each other for a few seconds, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

On the other side, when Shi Qing just said that he wanted to leave, Li Hu's face looked very ugly, and he even took a step forward. If Yang Ning hadn't stopped him, it seemed that he was going to take action.

Seeing that Luo Ming really agreed to let Shi Qing leave, Yang Ning frowned a few times, but after looking at the other four leaders, he thought about it and resisted the urge to speak.

Signaling Luo Ming and the others to go first, Yang Ning followed with Li Hu, thinking with his head down.

Seeing that everyone had walked some distance away, Li Hu turned to Yang Ning and whispered, "These idiots don't know what's good for them. Brother, let's go and call some helpers. That ghost can't get away."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Yang Ning's face, but he finally shook his head:
"Send someone over. This ghost won't belong to us two. Besides, it will take too long to go back and forth. It will definitely become stronger. We may not be able to deal with it by then."

After saying this, Yang Ning looked at the people in front of him, was silent for a while, sighed, and continued:

"We have already cut off one of the ghost's hands, so its strength should have decreased a lot. Let's try it one last time. If it doesn't work, we will go back and ask for help. As for these people... let them fend for themselves!"
