Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 79 Luo Ming's Commission

"Captain Luo, why are you here?"

The person who came was actually Luo Ming.

Although Xia Hong was a little surprised, seeing the nervousness on the faces of everyone in the camp, he hurried to the cave entrance and brought Luo Ming into the cave.

After seeing that nothing unusual happened after Luo Ming entered the cave, the tension on the faces of everyone in the camp immediately disappeared.

Xia Hong, who led Luo Ming to the smelting furnace, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although when Luo Ming entered the cave, he knew there was probably no problem.

But after all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

The description of the second-level smelting furnace says that it can scare and kill primary monsters within a radius of 100 meters, but it does not include intermediate and high-level monsters.

"Brother Xia Hong, what were you celebrating just now?"

As soon as Luo Ming sat down by the stove, he did not answer Xia Hong's question, but instead asked what they were celebrating just now.

Xia Hong was a little confused, but Xia Chuan next to him happily told him about the division of the meat. He was probably trying to show off, after all, he had discussed the division of the meat with Luo Ming before.

After hearing the rules for distributing the meat decided by Xia Hong, Luo Ming immediately understood why those people in the camp were so excited just now.

Xia Chuan's four-level division was originally discussed by Luo Ming, so he was not surprised. However, he was surprised to hear the two final revisions made by Xia Hong.

Relax the age limit for recruiting reserve forces; and give five kilograms of food every month to children under the age of thirteen.

Luo Ming's eyes suddenly showed strange colors.

As the leader of the Rogue Camp, Luo Ming knew very well the purpose of the two last additions made by Xia Hong.

These two measures may not produce results in a short period of time, and one may even have to take the risk of increasing the number of hunts to meet the demand for additional cold beast meat.

But if it can be maintained for a long time, the future development of the Daxia Camp will be absolutely limitless.

What's more important is that Xia Hong was willing to take out so much cold beast meat and distribute it to ordinary people in the camp, and people like Xia Chuan did not object to him, which was even more commendable.

Luo Ming waited until Xia Chuan finished speaking before turning to look at Xia Hong, his eyes full of admiration and respect, and exclaimed: "Brother Xia Hong, you are so courageous!"

Xia Hong smiled and didn't care. He was just curious about the purpose of Luo Ming's visit.

But just as he was about to ask, Luo Ming was stunned, and Xia Hong then noticed that his gaze had turned to the Jinghan Knife on his waist.

"Brother Xia Hong, this knife......"

Xia Hong thought that Luo Ming was interested in the knife he had just made, so he handed the Jinghan Knife over directly.

Luo Ming took the knife and saw the cold blade and the new forging marks on the side. He immediately opened his mouth with disbelief on his face.

"New? Chief Xia, this couldn't have been mined out by you using the iron ore I gave you, could it be that you just mined it?"

Xia Hong probably guessed why Luo Ming was so shocked, and did not deliberately hide it. He nodded, indicating that it was indeed a new one he had made.

Hearing Xia Hong's personal confirmation, Luo Ming's heart was suddenly in turmoil.

A mere ten-forged weapon was naturally not enough to shock him so much. What shocked him was the time.

It only took him two days to give Xia Hong four thousand kilograms of iron ore.

How could Xia Hong, who is only at the Digging Realm, forge a ten-forged weapon in just two days? This is simply unbelievable.

If the Rogue Camp wants to forge a ten-forged broadsword, it will need the cooperation of at least two Digging Realm masters, who will take turns for three to five days.

In fact, when Luo Ming gave Xia Hong the 4,000 kilograms of iron ore, he never thought that Xia Hong could make weapons. He thought that he could only make some ordinary iron tools at most.

Xia Hong, how did you do it?
"Captain Luo, you haven't told me what you are doing here tonight?"

Seeing the shock on Luo Ming's face and worried that he would ask about the big knife, Xia Hong took the initiative to ask him why he came.

Although the system building was no secret in the camp, it was naturally inconvenient to disclose it to outsiders. After all, money was attractive to people. Although they were not afraid of being robbed, it was not good to cause trouble. Obviously realizing that Xia Hong was unwilling to say more, Luo Ming immediately suppressed his curiosity. Thinking of his purpose, his face suddenly became solemn.

He stood up from the stove and walked to Xia Hong.

Then, he actually knelt down.

This kneeling shocked Xia Hong greatly.

Xia Hong quickly stood up and wanted to help Luo Ming up.

But the embarrassing thing is that Luo Ming is stronger than him.

Moreover, she was using a lot of force, obviously trying not to let him help her up.

Xia Hong had no choice but to let go, his face full of confusion.

"Captain Luo, what are you doing..."

Luo Ming took a deep breath, continued to kneel without moving, looked up at Xia Hong, and said sincerely: "Brother Xia Hong, Luo Ming has lost his father, wife and children this time, and he has neither the heart nor the ability to manage the Rogue Camp anymore.

Now Luo has only one young son, Luo Cheng, left. The environment here in Hongmuling is harsh and I am not strong enough, so I want to take my son to a bigger and safer camp, but I am worried about the more than one hundred people left in the camp.

I came here today to ask Brother Xia Hong to take in the remaining one hundred people in my Rogue Camp, and keep them alive!"

After saying all this in one breath, Luo Ming paused and continued:
"Of course, I know it's difficult, so I am willing to give up everything in the original Rogge Camp. There is an iron mine on the south side of the valley where the camp is located that has not yet been fully mined. There is also a coal mine that can be mined directly in the territory of Hongmu Ridge. As long as Brother Xia Hong agrees, all these things will belong to Daxia in the future."

After Luo Ming finished speaking, the entire area around the stove suddenly fell silent.

Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, Yue Feng, and some ordinary people had gathered around Luo Ming as soon as he knelt down. After hearing what Luo Ming said, everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at Xia Hong with puzzled expressions.

No wonder, no wonder……

Xia Hong immediately realized why Luo Ming had given him so much coal and iron ore, why he had talked so much with Xia Chuan, and even discussed the division of the meat with him.

It seemed that the previous disaster of the wooden puppet had caused too much harm to the Rogue camp; plus his father, wife, and eldest son were all dead. Luo Ming was really disheartened and didn't want to focus on the camp anymore. He just wanted to save his only youngest son.

This is to leave with the younger son to a larger and safer camp.

Considering what happened before, Xia Hong was not surprised that Luo Ming chose to escape.

Instead, Luo Ming did not just leave, but chose to come to him, and his attitude was so humble and sincere, just to seek a way of survival for the more than one hundred people in the camp.

Xia Hong still appreciated it. After all, this at least showed that although Luo Ming chose to escape, he still had a sense of responsibility.

"Since you know the location of other camps, why don't you take the people in those camps with you?"

When Yuan Cheng asked this question, he immediately attracted strange looks from everyone.

The main thing is this question, which is too stupid.

Migration is extremely difficult for any camp.

And the more people there are in a camp, the greater the risk.

What's more, Hongmu Ridge is not connected to the outside world. Since Luo Ming has decided to leave, there must be some hidden safe route. Since it is a hidden route, he definitely cannot bring too many people.

Luo Ming didn't mind and explained, "Don't worry, Brother Xia Hong. I'm only taking twelve people with me this time. There are 17 woodcutters among the 173 people left in the camp. They can help Brother Xia Hong when the time comes!"

Seventeenth, Lumberjack Realm!
When Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng and others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. They turned to look at Xia Hong, wanting to say something but stopping themselves. It was obvious that they had the urge to speak and persuade him to agree.

Xia Hong didn't say anything the whole time, just frowned and thought.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, everyone remained silent and just looked at him quietly.

Luo Ming remained kneeling on the ground without getting up, as if he would not get up unless Xia Hong agreed.

The entire cave suddenly fell into silence.
