Chapter 80 Grassland Camp


Chapter 80 Grassland Camp

The group of people moved very quickly. Before dark, they had already set up the tent and lit the fire.

Dinner mainly consists of the pickled fish and meat they brought.

In addition, there are red berries as an after-dinner snack.

This is the kind of berry that Ye Jinghong found on the grassland before. After many days of testing, they can basically confirm that this red berry is non-toxic.

While officially joining the farming group's planting plan, the red berries were naturally added to their diet.

Of course, the berries they brought out now were not brought from their camp, but picked after encountering berry bushes along the way.

As for the berry bushes, they didn't dig them up by the roots.

After all, they are here to establish a camp. Of course, they have plans for farming, but not now.

At this time, if they dig up the berry bushes, they will only be a hindrance. It is better to let them continue to grow there.

In this day and age, no one would dig and pick the fruits, and the berry bushes would just continue to grow there.

Put one into your mouth. The skin is quite tough. After biting it, the obviously sour juice mixed with the pulp exploded in your mouth.

Zhou Xu has never been a person who likes sour food. In the past, he would never eat a sour fruit like this.

But now it has become a rare delicacy in his mouth.

It’s not that his taste has changed, but that the environment has changed.

People often wonder, in this primitive era, there were not many seasonings and could only be simply processed food, is it really so delicious?

People who have such thoughts can only say that they have never been hungry.

After a hearty meal, the sky turned completely dark. After arranging the night vigil, everyone rested early after a long journey.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xu, who was woken up by his biological clock on time, could clearly feel that the fatigue in his body had not completely dissipated.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to stay in bed, he cheered up and walked out of the tent, looking at their tribe's third camp, the grassland camp!

This grassland camp is still very primitive at the moment, basically maintaining the appearance of a primitive tribe.

The specific location of the camp is not too close to the river, because if the development goes smoothly, the area of ​​​​the camp will definitely expand significantly in the future.

Under this premise, if they are too close to the river, the existence of the river will limit the expansion and subsequent development of their camp area.

Although there is nothing yet, the early camp planning must be done well, which can save a lot of trouble in the later development and construction.

After having planning experience in Salt Lake Camp and Black Moon Camp, Zhou Xu was able to handle this third grassland camp with ease.

It can even be said that he did a better job planning this camp than the previous two camps, especially compared to the Salt Lake Camp.

At that time, after all, he was still a novice without much practical experience. When planning the camp, he had some imperfect considerations.

I didn’t notice it during the planning, but when it was actually constructed, I found that it was not good here and that it was not good there.

As for these problems, in fact, as long as you plan them from the beginning, they are no longer problems and can all be avoided.

Of course, Zhou Xu doesn’t think he can make any perfect plans now. After all, this is not a construction and development game. You can look at the overall situation from God’s perspective.

He is now standing in the first-person perspective, and the information he can see and control is too limited.

Therefore, he could only do his best to do this. [There are still abundant resources in this area, which is basically the same as Black Moon Camp. You can fish in the river next to it. In the nearby grass, I confirmed yesterday that there are wild animals such as hares that can be caught. 】

After sorting out the thoughts in his mind, the plan for the grassland camp quickly took shape in Zhou Xu’s mind.

The process from planning to preliminary completion is actually very fast.

Because when the camp was first established, they needed to get very few things, or in other words, there was nothing to get.

Basically, it is just a matter of demarcating the living area, setting up all the animal skin tents, and then adding some basic living facilities such as stone stoves to the camp.

As for the large kiln used for firing pottery, we can wait and build it later.

After all, they have brought all the utensils they use daily here directly, and are not in a hurry to make new ones.

Under this premise, they also brought two braided fishing nets from the Black Moon Camp, so that they can directly use the fishing nets to catch fish in the river.

The existing resources now allow them to solve the food and drinking water problems relatively easily.

It only took a total of three days before and after, and the entire camp had been deployed in a very decent manner.

Originally, according to Zhou Xu’s plan, the next step should be to use this grassland camp as a base to start hunting more grassland animals, expand his breeding list, and at the same time continue to expand and explore outside to discover more resource.

But now, due to the emergence of centaurs, this plan must be changed first.

Out of caution, he wanted to arrange defensive facilities for the camp first.

At present, all he can think of, apart from the longer version of the spear specially designed to target cavalry, is to reject the horse.

But once the opponent switches to the attack mode of horse archers, the spearmen will not be able to pose any threat to them.

Under this premise, the resisting horse as a roadblock is somewhat useful.

Deployed around the camp, at least it can ensure that the opponent cannot rush up unscrupulously.

At the same time, due to the emergence of horse archers, the clumsy door panel shield can be used again as a self-protection equipment.

The production of these equipment requires a sufficient amount of wood, and at least a forest is required to provide them with wood.

But on this grassland, timber resources are not abundant, and can even be said to be slightly scarce.

In comparison, Black Moon Camp is only on the edge of the grassland, and in the outer area, there happens to be a forest that provides them with wood.

For this reason, Zhou Xu may need to return to Black Moon Camp.

But before that, he must arrange everything at the grassland camp first.

"Jinghong, you will be in charge of the grassland camp for the time being. There is no need to rush to explore outside. As for food, we will focus on fishing and catching some small animals around us. In addition, I have one more thing to do. , I want you to do it..."

While speaking, Zhou Xu quickly stated his instructions.

"Okay, that's pretty much it. If we encounter those centaurs during my absence, then don't worry about this camp. You can just escape. Your own safety is the first priority."
