Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 43: Weirdness - Humanity's Enemy

The wooden puppet is a problem that all camps around Redwood Ridge must face, and no one can escape it.

If the problem is not solved, everyone will die, there is no doubt about it.

Hong Gang and the other three understood that even if they left, Luo Ming would not ignore them.

So when the four of them proposed to leave, they might have thought of letting the Rogue Camp family solve the problem.

But Luo Ming is obviously not stupid.

It is understandable that Shi Qing wants to leave.

Too many people died in the Dashi camp. If the two men didn't leave, the hundreds of people in the camp would starve to death or freeze to death.

But for the other four companies, the losses are still within an acceptable range.

Of course Luo Ming would not let them go, but he was not a domineering person and would not force the four people to stay, so he said this.

You can leave if you want, but the Rogue Camp will definitely not find a way to deal with that wooden puppet. If Yang and Li want to leave, just leave, and Luo Ming will not try to keep them.

When the wooden puppet causes trouble, everyone will be in trouble.

Hong Gang and the other three could naturally understand what Luo Ming meant, so their expressions changed at the same time.

Luo Ming's last words, saying that he wanted to take the camp and find another way to make a living elsewhere, were basically just angry words and can be ignored.

Not to mention how far they can go in one night.

Once they left Redwood Ridge, they were completely blind.

In the unfamiliar environment, the ferocious beasts, the strange monsters, and the extreme cold, any one of them was enough to kill all of them.

If they could really escape, they wouldn't have waited until now.

"Captain Luo, we all respect you, so why don't you stop talking nonsense and let us continue to help deal with the wooden puppet? Yes, but if you continue to use people as bait like you did the previous four times and let our brothers die in vain, that's impossible!"

It was the outspoken Hong Gang who spoke first.

Upon hearing this, the other three leaders all nodded at Luo Ming at the same time, expressing their opinions on Hong Gang's words.

In fact, not to mention these three leaders, Luo Ming himself also agreed with Hong Gang's words, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he turned his head with an embarrassed expression and looked at Yang Ning and Li Hu who were sitting above.

Although he felt a little aggrieved, Luo Ming had to admit that he had no say on how to deal with the monster. It was Yang and Li who had to decide.

Regardless of whether the two men really saw some benefits in the strange monster, it was true that they were helping them. It was also absolutely true that at the moment, only these two men had the ability to deal with the strange monster.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ming bowed to the two of them with an embarrassed look on his face, then bowed his head and said respectfully:

"I would like to thank you two gentlemen for your generosity. I believe that all the leaders are grateful to you for helping me regardless of the consequences.

But in the first four times, too many people died, and the two adults witnessed it with their own eyes. The four of Hong Gang were all from a small camp, and the combat power of the logging realm was already small. If they lost a few more people like this, their survival would probably become a real problem.

My Lords, can you think of another way to lure out that wooden puppet?"

After Luo Ming finished speaking, he waited quietly for the response from the two people at the top.

The other four leaders were also quietly waiting for Yang and Li to speak, hoping that they could come up with other ways and not let them send out people as bait.

However, what everyone did not notice was that from the moment they started talking, the expression on Li Hu's face had already been one of extreme impatience.

Even Yang Ning, who had been relatively calm compared to him, frowned and looked very ugly.

Li Hu couldn't help but stand up. Judging from his personality, he was definitely planning to vent his anger on everyone again.

But before he could speak, Yang Ning stood up from his seat, stopped him first, then turned to face the crowd, thought for a moment, and asked a question in a low voice:
"Don't you think that using humans as bait to lure out monsters is too cruel, and it has not been effective four times, and so many people have died in vain, so it is not worth it?" Luo Ming did not speak. The four leaders looked at each other and did not speak.

Of course, silence is also an answer.

Yang Ning naturally understood this truth. After looking around at the five people, he suddenly chuckled, then kept shaking his head, with helplessness on his face.

"Do you know what it means if the wooden puppet in Hongmu Ridge is promoted from primary to intermediate level?"

When asking this question, Yang Ning's tone was already filled with obvious anger, and he didn't expect anyone to answer, so he just continued speaking.

"A mid-level monster would kill a Cold-Resistant-level expert without any knowledge of the situation. A Digging-level human is not even an ant in its eyes and can be killed with a wave of its hand.

Therefore, once it is promoted, it will mean that not only you, the people of Redwood Ridge, but also all the surrounding large and even giant camps will become its hunting grounds;

And if we are unlucky and it is promoted to a high level, then even our Beishuo Town will have to pay a huge price to deal with it.

Do you really think that the two of us stayed here just to save your worthless lives?"

This was the first time Yang Ning got angry. His harsh tone made Luo Ming and the others tremble in their hearts, and the hall suddenly fell into deathly silence.

He hadn't finished speaking yet:
"The evil creature, the Guiguai, evolves by killing people. It is the public enemy of mankind. If we were not worried that it would harm more camps after it becomes stronger, do you really think that the two of us would care about the two or three thousand lives lost in your camps?
These monsters have no humanity and will only evolve by killing people based on their instinct. They will not stop even after becoming stronger. If they are not eradicated as soon as possible while they are weak, they will only cause endless harm.

Do you think that the method I used was intended to harm you?

The monster is bloodthirsty and there is no other way to lure it out except using humans as bait. This is the consensus of the people in the Ice Abyss.

Twenty-nine lives may seem like a lot to you, but in my opinion, if we don't get rid of that wooden puppet as soon as possible and let it evolve successfully, then by then, two thousand and nine, twenty-nine thousand, or even more people will die.

Not to mention Beishuo Town and the nine towns of Moao Mountain, which one of them has not lost tens of thousands of people fighting against strange monsters? I have personally seen more than a hundred humans in the Digging Realm volunteer to be bait in order to encircle and suppress a mid-level strange monster. "

At this point, Yang Ning seemed to remember something, pointed at Li Hu behind him, and said to everyone: "Li Hu's father was the one who sacrificed himself as bait to hunt a monster in Beishuo."

When Li Hu heard Yang Ning's words, there was no sadness on his face, only pride and deep hatred for monsters in his heart.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Yang Ning seemed to feel that he had said too much. He was silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, I'll stop here. I'll try one last time tomorrow. If we can't kill the wooden puppet, Li Hu and I will return to Beishuo for help. By then, you guys will just have to fend for yourself!"

At this point, neither Luo Ming nor the other four leaders could utter any rebuttal. Even if they had this idea, they were forced back by Yang Ning's words just now.

They are all leaders of their respective camps. Even if they are not very smart, they still have some ability to judge people.

When Yang Ning said those words just now, his emotions were obviously genuine.

Now that things have come to this, it is naturally difficult for everyone to refute Yang Ning any further.

At worst, we can try one last time tomorrow. If we can really get rid of the wooden puppet, everyone will be happy.

After the meeting, everyone returned to the rooms arranged by Luo Ming to rest.

The accommodation conditions at the Rogue Camp were quite good. Everyone could be arranged into a room, and the two brothers Shi Dong and Shi Qing were arranged to stay next to each other.

It was already dawn outside and everyone was tired after a night of work. After returning to the room, almost everyone lay down and fell asleep.

At noon, everyone is sleeping the deepest and the temperature outside is the coldest.

Shi Dong suddenly opened his eyes from the bed in the room.

He got up quietly, opened the door, and walked out of the cabin.
