Chapter 55 Awkward Situation
Although Shi Lei's upper limit of intelligence is only three stars, his flexibility of mind is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary person with two stars. For him, he can draw inferences from one example and apply what he has learned flexibly. A piece of cake.
Learning from their leader’s arrangements, the arrangements for the Salt Lake camp were quickly completed.
I looked up at the sky and saw that the weather today was not good, it was cloudy.
However, Shi Lei can roughly estimate when it is now.
It was already afternoon when the patrol team they deployed outside the dark woods had their first face-to-face encounter with the people on the opposite side.
Considering the efficiency of the people on the opposite side turning back, it should be late when the tribe on the opposite side receives the news. If we want to launch an operation, if we wait here, it will probably not be close to the evening, or it will not even take long. It will be dark.
For this era, taking action at such an embarrassing time is not a wise decision no matter how you think about it.
Therefore, according to Shi Lei's idea, no matter how fast the opponent moves, they have to wait until tomorrow morning to officially launch the operation.
During this process, the tribe member who followed his order and rushed to the Black Moon Camp at full speed also arrived successfully in the evening and reported the news to Zhou Xu.
After confirming the content of the message, Zhou Xu's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.
[It’s really raining all night when the house leaks...]
This morning, a cold just broke out in the tribe.
Although everything that should be arranged and given instructions has been arranged and given instructions, at the same time, judging from the situation on this day, everyone performed well.
But before the cold problem was completely solved, he obviously did not want to add more unstable factors.
Not to mention, this matter is very troublesome for him.
In fact, it is more convenient for him for those people to appear here.
Because most of the manpower of the tribe is now concentrated in the Black Moon Camp, and considering the combat value, the ones with the highest combat value in the tribe should be him and Zhou Chongshan.
If you have to encounter an enemy anyway, then coming directly from here will definitely save him trouble.
But now, the trouble actually lies at the Salt Lake Camp, so he has to face the problem of deploying troops to support.
Under this premise, the most troublesome thing is that you are not sure whether the enemy will attack immediately.
Suppose he is in a hurry and immediately sends people to support him.
As a result, the other party will not come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so the development of their Black Moon Camp will be greatly slowed down.
Because for Zhou Xu at this time, the manpower at hand is too limited.
Except for individuals like Zhou Chongshan who have outstanding individual combat capabilities, he is left in the camp to deal with emergencies at any time.
The only serious 'soldiers' are probably their patrol team tasked with patrolling and guarding.
Other combat forces are scattered in various departments of the tribe. When they encounter the enemy, they will be drawn out and used as 'soldiers'.
So once support is needed, the work of various departments in Black Moon Camp will be greatly affected.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu also had a headache.
This is not a good thing when the territory is large. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of it.
If they only have one camp with more than sixty tribe members inside, then no matter which enemy they face, they can directly attack with all their strength.
But once the number of camps increases and the people begin to disperse, it will be difficult to do this.
At this time, Zhou Xu was undoubtedly thinking about this matter.
After a short period of contemplation, he made a decision...
"Jinghong, put your exploration mission aside tomorrow and stay here at the Black Moon Camp. While ensuring the safety of the camp, wait for my news and rush to the Salt Lake Camp at any time.”
"Yes!" Faced with the arrangement from Zhou Xu, Ye Jinghong had no objection and readily agreed.
Then Zhou Xu glanced at...
"Chongshan, early tomorrow morning, please order five people to go to the Salt Lake Camp with me to confirm the situation."
“Understood!”
"Okay, get ready to cook. After dinner, go to bed early. Let's set off as early as possible tomorrow."
After all, he didn't know how far away the opposite tribe was from the Salt Lake Camp.
Blind guessing took about half a day.
After all, in this era, considering the time it takes to turn back and forth, the maximum movement distance of an ordinary reconnaissance unit is about this.
Under this premise, it is assumed that the other party will also set off towards the Salt Lake camp early tomorrow morning and launch an offensive.
At that time, who can get there first will depend on luck.
Don’t think that half a day at most has little impact.
Under normal circumstances, the battle between two tribes is simply an armed conflict involving dozens of people. If the fight is fierce, the battle will end soon.
In other words, there is a possibility that the battle will end before they arrive.
Of course, Zhou Xu, who has seen Shi Lei's panel, still has some confidence in Shi Lei.
The biggest problem at the Salt Lake Camp right now is that there are not enough combat units.
Even if Shi Lei can show his ability and stabilize the situation, there will be no guarantee that serious casualties will not occur at the Salt Lake Camp.
This is also what Zhou Xu does not want to see.
After dinner, Zhou Xu called Ye Jinghong again and gave him careful instructions before going back to the tent to rest.
Early the next morning, after having breakfast, he called Zhou Zhongshan and the others, and carrying some skeletons on their backs that could be used as extra combat power, they rushed towards the Salt Lake camp as quickly as possible.
During this process, Zhou Xu could clearly feel that their movement efficiency had improved.
It is different from the time in the original world.
In his original world, he had no worries about eating and drinking, and the nutrients he accumulated in his daily life were enough to keep him active even if he skipped breakfast.
But it is different in this primitive world. They only eat one meal a day. Not to mention how much nutrition they have accumulated in their daily life. Even Zhou Xu, who had a normal body before, is now skinny and skinny. Head.
Before this, they must have been so tired and dizzy after such a long journey that they were forced to stop and rest.
Now, although they were all sweating profusely and breathing heavily, their mental state was still good and they did not feel dizzy.
After breakfast, it was indeed different.
After taking a long breath and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhou Xu raised his head and looked at the sky.
It was a cloudy day, and the sun was hidden behind the clouds, but through the light, he could still roughly judge the current position of the sun.
“It should be about ninety o’clock in the morning now, right?”
After confirming, Zhou Xu waved towards Zhou Chongshan.
“Let’s try harder, we’re not far from the Salt Lake Camp, let’s rest when we get there!”
However, what Zhou Xu didn’t know at this time was that he was rushing to get there. Before they arrived, the Salt Lake Camp had already welcomed the invaders!
