Chapter 55 Embarrassing Situation
Although Shi Lei's upper limit of intelligence is only three stars, his mental agility is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people with two stars. It is a piece of cake for him to draw inferences from one example and apply it flexibly.
Learning from their leader's arrangements, the arrangements for the Salt Lake camp were quickly completed.
I raised my head and took a look at the sky. It was not a good day today, it was cloudy.
However, Shi Lei could still roughly estimate when it was now.
It was already afternoon when the patrol team they deployed outside the dark woods had their first encounter with the people on the opposite side.
Considering the efficiency of the people on the opposite side turning back, it should be getting 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 be close to evening, and it will even get dark soon.
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.
In the 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 Zhou Xu confirmed the content of the message, his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.
[This is really a leaky house and it rains all night long...]
This morning, a cold just broke out in the tribe.
Although everything that should be arranged and instructed has been arranged and instructed, and judging from the situation on this day, everyone executed it well.
But before the cold problem was completely solved, he obviously didn't 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 no matter what, 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 was too limited.
Except for individuals like Zhou Chongshan who have particularly outstanding combat capabilities and are left in the camp to deal with emergencies at any time.
The only serious 'soldiers' are probably their patrol team responsible for patrolling and guarding.
Other combat forces are scattered in various departments of the tribe. When they encounter enemies, they are drawn out and used as "soldiers".
Therefore, 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 people start to disperse, it becomes difficult to do this.
At this time, Zhou Xu was undoubtedly thinking about this matter.
After a short period of reflection, he made a decision...
"Jinghong, put your exploration mission on hold tomorrow and stay 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 with me to the Salt Lake Camp to confirm the situation."
"clear!"
"Okay, get ready to cook. After dinner, go to bed early. We will set off as early as possible tomorrow."
After all, he didn't know exactly 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, assume 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 won’t have much impact.
Under normal circumstances, the battle between two tribes is simply an armed conflict between dozens of people. If the fight is fierce, the battle will end soon.
In other words, there is a possibility that the battle will be over before they arrive.
Of course, Zhou Xu, who had seen Shi Lei's panel, still had some confidence in Shi Lei.
The biggest problem in 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 something Zhou Xu doesn't 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, they called Zhou Zhongshan and the others to carry some skeletons on their backs that could be used as extra combat power, and 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’s different from when it was 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 was different in this primitive world. They only ate one meal a day, and they didn't accumulate any nutrients in their daily life. Even Zhou Xu, who had a normal body before, was now skinny and skinny.
Before doing this, they would 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 or dizzy.
After having 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 work harder. We're not far from the Salt Lake Camp. We'll rest when we get there!"
However, what Zhou Xu didn't know at this time was that the Salt Lake Camp had already welcomed the invaders before they arrived!
Chapter completed!
