Chapter 108: Opening a super big treasure chest
This is indeed just a small river. Zhou Xu took a simple visual inspection and found that the width of the river was only about two meters. Others could jump with just one jump. past width.
The water is not deep, it is crystal clear and can be submerged up to the knees at most.
At the same time, there are fish in the water. Zhou Xu clearly saw just now that a small fish quickly emerged from the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the water, and then swam out of sight.
“Do you fish on weekdays?”
"Yes."
As he spoke, Wang Chuan led everyone to a part of the river.
I saw a fishing net pulled up directly over there, crossing the two-meter-wide river, and catching fish in the river in this simple and crude way.
However, the fishing efficiency does not seem to be high.
Zhou Xu looked at it and found that it was not the problem with the fishing nets. It should be that the fish resources in the river were not abundant, far from the level at Black Moon Camp and Grassland Camp.
Wang Luchong should also be aware of this, so he switched to growing vegetables and fruits and raising pheasants to provide stable food for his tribe.
Among them, thanks to the existence of ‘Potato’, he accomplished his goal relatively easily.
At the same time, these vegetables, fruits and farmed pheasants are undoubtedly the biggest gains of his trip.
Leaving aside the absolutely terrible camp layout, what he gained from destroying Wang Luchong and annexing the opposite population camp in this wave can be said to have opened a huge treasure chest!
It is no exaggeration to say that I have made a fortune.
During this period, Zhou Xu certainly did not forget to ask about the origin of these resources.
According to Wang Chuan, only a small part was actually found on this barren mountain. Many of them were brought out from the depths of the mountain, including those potatoes.
It made Zhou Xu further convinced that it was still very profitable to pick up the traverser's camp.
In any case, Zhou Xu directly took over all aspects of this resource.
Moving along the small river, at the foot of the barren mountain near the depth of the mountain, there is a relatively flat terrain. In Zhou Xu's view, this place is undoubtedly more suitable for farming. .
"But chief, it may be a bit dangerous to farm in this location. Some tribes on the opposite side may appear nearby if they wander too far."
"It doesn't matter, according to your previous description. , deep in the mountains opposite, the only relatively threatening thing is the Wild Stone Tribe. Those on the outside are just weak tribes that rely on the Wild Stone Tribe and survive by paying tribute to the Wild Stone Tribe.”
< br>"The Manshi tribe is located deep in the mountains and occupies the richest resource land in that area. It is far away from us. Even if they know about us, they probably have no interest in traveling across mountains and rivers to come and cause trouble for themselves."
At this time, Zhou Xu undoubtedly revealed a problem that most tribes in this era have to face.
That is because the hands are not long enough. When faced with enemies whose distance is beyond their normal range of movement, even if they know there are enemies there, they may not be interested or unable to take action.
"As for the weak tribes that survive by paying tribute to the Manshi tribe, we don't need to be afraid of them."
At this point, Zhou Xu paused.
“Furthermore, as long as the opponent is not stupid, after a few defeats, he should not be interested in us again in a short period of time.”
Looking at this journey, Regarding the reconstruction plan of his barren mountain camp, Zhou Xu's thoughts were already clear in his mind.
First of all, all the fields on the main camp side were bulldozed, and the land was included in the camp construction. All the work of cultivating the fields was moved to the foot of the mountain.
Later, under his readjustment of the layout, the main camp will be greatly expanded and the stronghold on this side will be directly annexed.
In other words, he did not want this stronghold deep in the mountains and merged it directly into a camp.
On the same side of the barren mountain, the distance between the main camp and this stronghold is actually not much at all. Wang Luchong originally set up this stronghold. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that the enemy would directly attack the main camp, so he set up a checkpoint here.
But in Zhou Xu's opinion, it is completely unnecessary.
In other words, levels can be set up, but there is no need to set them up separately.
Just expand the camp all the way down, and then deploy patrol teams on the periphery to perform patrol tasks.
There is no need to build such a stronghold. While it has limited value, it is also an obstruction and hinders the development and expansion of the camp.
After looking at the terrain and environment at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Xu, who knew what was going on, took the people back to the main camp and started making arrangements directly.
During this period, a subordinate quickly ran over and reported to him...
"Chief, the supplies from our rear have arrived and are now placed at the stronghold in the Gobi."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded.
"Okay, I understand. Let the members of the transportation team have a good rest first. I have already prepared the supplies that need to be brought back. You can just carry them in batches. At the same time, I will also take some back with you, and I will make specific arrangements."
Zhou Xu will definitely bring these fruits, vegetables, and pheasants back to his current base camp, which is the Black Moon Camp. Cultivated and grown.
As for the person they want to take back, they are definitely not one of their own, but the more than a hundred tribal warriors here.
Obviously, there are too many people on the other side.
Although they have surrendered now, there is no guarantee that these guys will not cause trouble after being released. It is one thing that the situation will be difficult to control, and what is more annoying is that it will cause them unnecessary loss.
Under this premise, the easiest way to avoid this potential trouble is to break up all these people and disperse them to various camps.
Of course, escorting more than a hundred tribal warriors back at once would undoubtedly be too much pressure, so in this first batch, only fifty people were escorted back first.
Zhou Xu has already arranged the whereabouts of these fifty people.
Thirty of them went directly to the mines at Salt Lake Camp to dig, and the remaining twenty were sent to the logging team and engineering team at Black Moon Camp to work as coolies, carrying wood and digging canals.
At present, these jobs generally require more manpower, the better.
Under this premise, the remaining people will stay in the main camp to do hard work for the time being.
After all, all the fields in the main camp will be demolished, and the camp will also need to be greatly renovated. There are many places that require efforts.
As for what if these people make trouble?
Zhou Xu has already set up his 'skeleton array' near the camp. In addition, there are three powerful forces: Zhou Chongshan, Li Ce and hyena skeletons. If the remaining people want to cause trouble, they can still Able to control the situation.
“Speaking of which, Chongshan and Li Ce, when we fought before, didn’t you find anyone on the other side who was particularly capable of fighting?”
Obviously, this time when annexing the population, Zhou Xu still I kind of want to acquire some talents like strong generals.
If you want to deal with the centaurs and hyenas on the other side of the grassland, without obtaining a powerful mantra, the most practical way is to give them a strong general directly.
But according to his current state, if he is asked to open his 'eyes of insight' and look at the tribe of nearly two hundred people one by one, will he still be dumbfounded?
At this time, it would be great if Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce could provide him with some useful information.
But unfortunately, when faced with this problem, both of them shook their heads.
This situation made Zhou Xu helpless.
[Also, if there was a strong general on the opposite side, facing my shield formation at that time, the man surnamed Wang would have sent a strong general to break the formation. How could he have allowed himself to be forced to death? 】
