Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 251 - 151: Pioneer, The Growing Xia Chuan [Sorry, I’m late]
Chapter 251: Chapter 151: Pioneer, The Growing Xia Chuan [Sorry, I’m late]
First Year of the Great Xia, the third day of the third month, just after nightfall
On the second floor of the wooden house, the main hall was crowded with hundreds of people.
In the center, the entire Hunting Team led by Xia Chuan, along with key members from the Collection Team, Logging Team, Camp Supply Station, and Craftsmen Workshop, totaling dozens of people, were engaged in a heated discussion.
Everyone around was all ears, listening to their discussion.
"Why can we only expand southward? Is it not possible in other directions?"
"Currently, the territory defined by our Great Xia starts from the valley and extends four kilometers northward along the mountain wall to Arrow Bamboo Forest; westward lies Redwood Ridge, where the Hunting Team has only ventured two kilometers deep for now; the Twin Dragon Mountain to the east is too high, and there certainly won’t be any human settlements in the dense forests, so we can only go south!"
Beside the stove in the main hall, a wooden board was erected, on which the currently defined boundaries of the Great Xia were outlined with coal stone. Xia Chuan answered while gesturing to show the boundaries occupied by the Great Xia to everyone.
"About six kilometers southward along the mountain wall leads to the previous base of the Great Xia, which is the hillside. Beyond the hillside, further south is an area completely unfamiliar to us!"
Upon seeing the marked position of the hillside on the map, Yuan Cheng and Yue Feng, as well as the earliest members of the Great Xia, showed subtle nostalgia on their faces.
Although compared to when they were on the hillside, the Great Xia now, in terms of living quality or their personal strength, has improved unbelievably.
But the hillside, after all, was their initial base, where many of their relatives and friends still rest.
"In any case, the currently truly defined territory of the Great Xia is roughly ten kilometers along the mountain wall from north to south. Then, starting from the mountain wall, it extends westward to the five-hundred-plus-meter snowy area of Redwood Ridge, adding over two kilometers around Redwood Ridge, making its length three kilometers."
It’s a total of thirty square kilometers!
After concluding this in their minds, everyone had looks of disbelief on their faces. It took more than ten breaths before their expressions gradually turned to excitement and eagerness.
Unbeknownst to them, the territory of the Great Xia has grown this big!
What is the concept of thirty square kilometers?
Not to mention the small camps like Great Stone, Great River, and Huang Zhao.
Even Rogel Camp, at its most prosperous, never had such a large activity range.
But no, the Great Xia hasn’t reached its limit yet.
Aren’t they currently discussing the expansion of the camp!
For the earliest members of the Great Xia, it’s been just over a year since Xia Hong took over as the leader; for the others, it’s only been eight months since the Great Xia took over the valley.
In such a short time, not only has the territory expanded so much,
but their lives have also undergone a tremendous transformation.
Cold Beast Meat, wooden products, leather goods, even ironware, weapons...
All things they had never imagined before are now not only available, but increasingly abundant. With resources continuously being replenished, some items like clothes and wooden products have even become widespread.
Of course, more importantly, it’s their personal strength!
You should know, at this moment, the more than four hundred people seated in the main hall on the second floor all have cultivation above the Logging Realm.
In the entire camp, nearly half of the people have cultivation above the Logging Realm.
Who would have believed this a year ago?
"Even the former leader probably never imagined this!"
Thinking of Luo Ming, who left with his son earlier, Luo Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked up at the third floor, his eyes full of fervor and reverence.
Not only Luo Yuan, but everyone else, returning from their excitement, also looked towards the third floor, their eyes brimming with intense fervor.
Today, all the achievements of the Great Xia are undoubtedly due to the greatest contributor, the leader Xia Hong.
One can say, without Xia Hong, none of these people could have possibly lived such lives, let alone breakthrough to the Logging Realm or Earth-digging Realm.
In fact, whether they could still be alive today might still be a question mark.
Wood Puppet Monster, rodent swarms, new deceitful monsters, Mirror Immortal Camp...
Which of these were not deadly matters? Without Xia Hong leading them through each crisis, the Great Xia would probably have ceased to exist long ago!
"The reason the leader is eager to expand, you all should understand?"
What else could it be, if not the Mirror Immortal Camp.
The giant camp, with a population of over ten thousand, hundreds of Earth-digging Realm powerhouses...
The situation of the Mirror Immortal Camp has long spread in the camp, everyone knows about it.
The enmity with those eight Logging Realm ones has been avenged, and according to the Hunting Team, Xia Hong even fought against the other side’s Cold Resistance Level powerhouse and reportedly had the upper hand...
Even hearing these situations, everyone is still clear about one thing:
The strength of the Mirror Immortal Camp still surpasses the Great Xia.
No matter how strong Xia Hong is alone, he cannot crush a giant camp with a population of over ten thousand.
In the competition and conflict with the Mirror Immortal Camp, the key to not falling behind is the number of people in the Earth-digging Realm.
And coincidentally, what the Great Xia currently lacks most is Earth-digging Realm!
Out of the more than a thousand people in the entire camp, there are only seventeen in the Earth-digging Realm now.
And to quickly increase the number of Earth-digging Realm people, there are two keys:
First, is the speed of cultivation.
This issue has actually been resolved, which is the Martial Arts Training Ground.
The Martial Arts Training Ground was only put into use on the twentieth of last month, and now only thirteen days have passed, so the effect has not yet quickly manifested, but with the passage of time, it will definitely take effect.
