Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 99 Crazy Hunting and Steady Improvement

Although human civilization in the Ice Abyss world has fallen, it has not been completely destroyed.

Xia Hong had discovered this since the beginning of his time travel.

Although to some extent, human beings have indeed regressed to the age of barbarism, that was basically forced by the extreme environment. In fact, traces of the existence of civilization can be seen in many places.

From the family and marriage concepts, surname culture, funeral culture, and even writing in the camp, to the basic craftsmanship, gathering tools, and leather products, and even eating cooked food as much as possible and not drinking raw water, etc.

At first, Xia Hong thought that the reason so many civilized habits could be preserved was that the disaster that led to the fall of civilization had not happened long ago. However, based on the harsh extreme cold environment and biological evolution, he overturned this idea.

It takes hundreds of years for the earth's temperature to rise or fall by a few degrees. The extremely cold climate of the Ice Abyss world, the power of the cold beasts, and even the inexplicable weirdness, these three things obviously cannot be formed in a short period of time.

From what I heard from Shi Qing, according to what Yang and Li said, the ancient Yuan Dynasty might be extremely far away from today.

According to this inference, the fact that humans have been able to preserve so many civilized habits can only be attributed to the resilience of human civilization itself.

Extreme environments can cause a large-scale population reduction, but it is not so easy to completely wipe out a civilization and make it disappear without a trace.

The human desire to survive is itself one of the most powerful things in the world.

Xia Hong had no idea what the camps in other places looked like.

But after coming to the Ice Abyss world, he often feels fortunate to be born in the Redwood Ridge area.

In extreme environments, the greater the evil thoughts that humans can unleash, the equal amount of goodwill that can be bred. This is the power of civilization, or it can be said to be the inertia of civilization.

All the camps around Redwood Ridge can accurately prove this point.

If civilization really collapsed completely, there would be no such thing as the loggers risking their lives to go out and gather materials to feed hundreds of ordinary people in the camp. It would be even more unrealistic to distribute the cold beast meat to others.

Civilization can enhance people's wisdom, mutual support, mutual help, unity and cohesion, responsibility and sharing. Any behavior that resists selfishness can be said to be a manifestation of wisdom.

The most fundamental reason why the human situation is so difficult is the extremely cold environment, followed by cold beasts and monsters.

The extremely cold environment makes food and travel a problem;
Cold beasts and strange monsters make safety unguaranteed.

It seems almost impossible to completely solve these three problems at present.

"The only way out for mankind is to unite as one, improve our strength, adapt to the environment, and constantly deal with the challenges brought by the cold beasts and strange monsters."

Faced with these three questions, Xia Hong thought for a long time and came to this conclusion.

Changing the last "human" to "Daxia", this conclusion, under the promotion of Xia Chuan and others, soon became an ideological and theoretical guide that everyone in the Daxia camp was familiar with.

This sentence is of course more appropriate when used to describe humans, but considering the current strength of the Daxia Camp, it is obviously a bit pretentious and empty to say so.

Any group organization cannot do without ideological and theoretical guidance.

To put it simply, it means that everyone in the camp knows what they are doing and why they are doing it. Only in this way can they be motivated and work hard towards a goal.

With the guidance of ideological theory, coupled with Xia Hong's crazy hunting and sufficient cold beast meat, everyone in the Great Xia camp was clearly busy for a period of time. Under Xia Hong's personal leadership, the hunting team returned with a full load almost every night. Although there were injuries from time to time, they were basically minor injuries.

One month after the system was officially implemented, when the second distribution of cold beast meat was given to children under the age of thirteen in the camp, the reserves of cold beast meat in the camp's mine had reached more than 30,000 kilograms, which was enough even if there was no hunting for two months.

Xia Hong basically didn't care about the logging team and left it all to Cheng Feng and Mu Dong. However, judging from the growth of timber resource data in his system and the height of the timber stacks on both sides of the valley, the logging team's gains during this period were also considerable.

Mu Dong has already spread the plan of building a new wooden house in the camp, so the logging team mainly cuts down golden trees during this period.

It is worth mentioning that since there are often cold beasts lurking on the Jinlin trees, sometimes the hunting team is needed to cooperate. They will first hunt the cold beasts on the trees, and then the logging team will cut down the trees.

Although the Rogue Camp had already penetrated deep into the thousand-meter area of ​​Redwood Ridge, during this period, Xia Hong still controlled the hunting and logging areas of the Daxia Camp within 500 meters of the periphery and did not lead anyone in.

Firstly, he was unfamiliar with the inner area, and had never encountered new species of cold beasts, so he was worried that something might go wrong; secondly, the resources Da Xia needed at the moment were more than enough within 500 meters of the outer area, so there was no need to go deeper.

The area where Daxia currently collects resources in Hongmu Ridge is no longer just 500 meters.

Rogge, Dashi, Dachuan, Huang Zhao, including their previous territories, the east side of Hongmu Ridge, starting from the corresponding position of the valley and four kilometers to the south, now belong to the Daxia family without any dispute.

With such a large area to collect resources, Xia Hong would naturally not advance recklessly. He would first steadily improve his strength, and wait until the external resources are not enough to support the development of the camp, and then slowly advance deeper. This is undoubtedly safer.

The hunting and logging teams had heavy tasks, but there was no trace of fatigue on the faces of the thirty-six people. On the contrary, their enthusiasm when they went out became higher and higher, and the smiles on their faces when they came back became brighter and brighter.

Xia Hong certainly knew the reason, because the strength of these people, including himself, was increasing rapidly at an astonishing speed.

He didn't find out the details about the other people, but he knew how amazing the improvement of the fifteen people in the hunting team who followed him out every night was during this period.

The daily consumption of cold beast meat in the logging realm is between five and ten kilograms. The fifteen people in the hunting team can get ten kilograms every night. The supply far exceeds the consumption, so they are almost absorbing and improving at the limit every day.

Moreover, Xia Hong's four sets of long fists have all been passed down. With the help of martial arts, their efficiency in absorbing knowledge has become faster, and their improvement is naturally faster.

According to Xia Hong's observations during hunting, if nothing unexpected happens, Luo Yuan should be the first to break through the digging realm, followed by the three Zhao brothers.

In addition, what surprised Xia Hong the most was Xia Chuan.

A month ago, when Xia Chuan went hunting with a trap for the first time, his strength was less than 7,000 kilograms. In just one month, he had increased it to nearly 8,000 kilograms. Now he was on par with the three Zhao brothers and only slightly behind Luo Yuan.

Although Xia Hong did not pay special attention to the training situation of the logging team and the reserve forces, he could guess something from their high enthusiasm for training when they came back from going out every day.

The overall strength of the camp is improving steadily and rapidly. With the same batch and same situation of cold beast meat being supplied, Xia Hong understands that all he needs to do next is wait for the blowout period to come.

Of course, others are making steady progress, so he can't fall behind.

One month after the implementation of Daxia's new regulations, Xia Hong gave the hunting team a night off for the first time. After nightfall, the cold beast meat was distributed as usual, and he walked alone to the outside of the wooden house to the location where the force measuring piles were stored in the camp.

The people who were originally practicing outside the house saw Xia Hong's actions and realized that he was going to test his strength. They all stopped immediately and gathered around him with great interest.
