Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 6, Moving

More than a hundred people worked together and the cave entrance was quickly sealed.

Although there was fire in the cave, it was still much darker because the entrance was sealed.

Perhaps it was the sense of security brought by the enclosed space that alleviated some of the pain on the faces of everyone in the camp.

But his expression was still hesitant and his face was full of confusion.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Xia Chuan's voice immediately made everyone focus their attention on Xia Hong.

From the initial step of identifying whether Xia Ding was real or fake, to taking the lead in desperately trying to survive, and even to the final life-saving little fire.

It can be said that without Xia Hong, almost no one in the camp would survive.

At this moment, everyone naturally placed their hopes on him.

Xia Hong could naturally read the dependence in everyone's eyes, and suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

In fact, he had no choice but to stand up.

Xia Ding and a total of 13 people in the logging team have been confirmed dead.

Another 72 people died in the massacre just now.

He had just counted and there were only 154 people left in the camp.

Among them, there are only 53 middle-aged people.

The reason why these older people stayed in the camp and did not follow Xia Ding out to cut wood and hunt was because they were too weak and their strength was only at the normal level.

Among the remaining 101, there are 25 who are close to his age, including himself, and the rest are all between 3 and 12 years old.

He is currently the strongest person in the camp.

In addition, as the son of the former leader Xia Ding, it naturally became his responsibility to keep everyone in the camp alive.

Xia Hong put aside his chaotic thoughts, looked around the cave, and quickly made his first decision:
"We can't stay here anymore. Pack up your things and we'll move out when it gets dark."

The ghost in Redwood Ridge already knows where the camp is and may come back at any time.

If we continue to stay here, we will definitely die.

"Brother, which cave shall we move to?"

"Go west, to number four."

The human beings in this world are almost always hiding from birth to death.

Hide from the day, hide from ice tides, hide from cold beasts, hide from strange monsters.

After years of hiding, humans have long developed the habit of having three burrows.

Daxia Camp is no exception.

Having lived in Redwood Ridge for decades, the Daxia Camp had already opened up six hiding places, all of which were caves.

The average distance between the six caves is only five or six hundred meters, and they are all distributed in a circular shape around the slope on the east side of Hongmu Ridge.

They were currently staying at number one, and number four was the farthest from number one, so to be on the safe side, Xia Hong chose number four.

Naturally, everyone had no objection. They all turned around and left, packed up their things according to Xia Hong's orders, and prepared to move out after nightfall.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xia Hong turned his attention to the camp system which he had not had time to check carefully just now.

[Camp: Daxia (Level 0)]

[Lord: Xia Hong]

[Territory population: 154]

【资源：木15煤0铁0银0金0】

[Building: Small Fire (Level 1) Daily wood consumption 2 (placed)]

Small fire: can greatly increase the temperature in a 10-meter radius area, and has a deterrent killing function on primary monsters, but it also has a strong attraction to cold beasts

Special function: Every time 10 units of wood resources are burned, a special small torch will be generated, which has a similar function to a small fire and can be carried with you.

Resources required to upgrade a small fire pit: Wood 200 Iron 50
Below the opened interface, there are eight dim gray options:

Wooden man, green bamboo fence, marking stone, medicine pot, yellow soil, polished stone, small wooden table, thick iron chain.

Xia Hong's mind moved slightly, and he chose the wooden man. Suddenly, a message appeared:
Wooden Man (Not Built)
Resources required for construction: Wood 100 Iron 20
Sure enough, the remaining seven buildings all require resources to unlock.

The resources required to build six of the buildings are wood, coal and iron.

The small wooden table requires silver, and the last thick iron chain requires gold.

Seeing the power of the small fire, Xia Hong was naturally jealous of these buildings. But the reality was that, let alone the gold and silver behind, he had not even seen coal in this world for a month.

Just to upgrade a small fire to level 200, you need 50 wood and iron.

Xia Hong's mind moved slightly, and he walked to the side of the cave wall.

There were three large trees on the ground, about thirty meters long and three meters thick.

Although Xia Hong had never gone out to cut wood, he had seen a forest not far from the cave entrance during this month.

The big trees in this world grow at a terrifying rate.

Not only does it grow horribly, but its weight is also outrageous.

Due to the low temperature, the bark of all the trees was covered with a layer of ice crystals, which greatly increased the difficulty of felling.

The basic strength is less than 5,000 kilograms, so it is impossible to cut down trees.

This is why logging has become a symbol of strength.

Every time Xia Ding went out to cut wood, he would basically pick the thinnest ones.

It’s not that we don’t want to pick the thicker ones, but if we pick the thicker ones, they simply can’t cut them.

Even if you are lucky and cut it off, you may not be able to lift it back.

Xia Hong looked at the three big trees on the ground, his eyes thoughtful.

"These three trees are about 15 units of wood. That means if you want to upgrade the small fire to level 20, you need at least big trees like this, and units of iron."

Thinking of this, Xia Hong shook his head and quickly stopped thinking.

Let alone twenty trees, according to what Xia Ding and the members of the logging team said before, even cutting down trees would be a problem unless the strength exceeded 5,000 kilograms.

Not to mention iron, among all the camps around Redwood Ridge, probably only Camp Rogue has it.

"Right now, surviving is the top priority. In addition, I have to intensify my training. Before, I was thinking of following the plan and breaking through 5,000 kilograms in a month. Now I have to do it as quickly as possible!"

Xia Hong whispered to himself, feeling a strong sense of urgency.

15 units of wood are only enough for a small fire for seven and a half days.

We can still endure it at night, but during the day, if there is no fire to keep warm, the camp will freeze to death.

…………

It’s not like they haven’t experienced daylight before, but for everyone in the camp, these four hours of daylight today were particularly difficult.

On the one hand, he had just suffered a disaster and lost many relatives, so he was already in a low mood.

On the other hand, knowing that we would have to move at night, we felt uncertain about the future.

But no matter what, I finally got through the day.

Xia Hong opened a crack in the cave entrance and looked outside.

It was already night outside. Although there was no light, the ice crystals and snowflakes had covered the ground in silver, so visibility was still acceptable.

Of course, the most important thing is that the temperature rises at night.

Xia Hong turned around and looked at everyone in the camp who were carrying their bags.

He has divided the 154 people into three groups.

The first wave of 40 were all middle-aged, both male and female;
The second wave consisted of 76 children and 13 prime-aged women;
The third wave consisted of him, Xia Chuan, and 23 other young and middle-aged men.

"The strong men will take the lead, and twelve people will be assigned to carry the three trees.

All the children are in the middle, you thirteen women, take good care of them.

Xia Chuan, there are still twenty-three of you, follow me and cover the rear.

The team should not be in chaos. If something happens, blow the bone whistle first, and don't shout or scream to avoid trouble. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

After hearing everyone's unanimous answer, Xia Hong waved his hand to signal them to set off.

A group of more than a hundred people walked out of the cave one after another.

After the last group of people had left, Xia Hong turned back to look at the small fire.

As his mind moved slightly, the small fire suddenly went out, and the status of the last small fire in the camp system also changed back to unplaced.

After taking care of the fire, Xia Hong immediately trotted after the team.

The group headed westward, their white fur fur coats blending with the color of the snow, as if they were gradually melting into this cruel and ruthless world of ice and snow.
