Chapter 114: Different Greenery
In Zhou Xu's instructions, he had undoubtedly paved the way for Zhao Geng a long time ago. According to his ability, if he worked hard in the Black Moon Camp, it would only be a matter of time before he became the Minister of Agriculture.
At the same time, over at the deserted mountain camp, after the initial busy days, Zhou Xu's days have been much more relaxed in the past two days.
At this moment he was leaning under the shade of a tree, enjoying the cool mountain breeze.
[It's getting hotter day by day. Judging from the situation, summer is coming soon. ]
It is still much cooler in this mountain. At the deserted mountain camp, we can already clearly feel the heat, and the other three camps will basically be even hotter.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu really didn't want to go back.
Of course, this is just a thought. In the original world, he was a real man who could walk outside in the 40-degree sun. His willpower was still quite strong.
During this period, the order to transfer Shi Lei to the Desolate Mountain Camp to take up the post was not given until later. Considering the time required for a round trip, it would undoubtedly take some time for Shi Lei to arrive here smoothly.
This could be considered as what Zhou Xu had planned from the beginning.
There was no way he could just leave such an unfinished mess to Shi Lei.
It's not that he didn't believe in Shi Lei's ability, but according to the knowledge and thinking of normal primitive people, if the work of developing and building the camp was really left to them to do, they would most likely not be able to do it well.
Not to mention that Shi Lei's ability is not in the development and construction of the camp, but is mainly concentrated in military talents.
The operation of the camp here will most likely still depend on Wang Chuan.
But Wang Chuan is just an ordinary two-star person with pretty good talents and abilities, so Zhou Xu obviously can't have much expectations for him.
For this reason, Zhou Xu felt that he needed to arrange all the things that needed to be arranged before leaving.
This is to ensure that the camp can operate normally, and Wang Chuan's task is basically just to keep the camp running, without deliberately doing anything beyond his ability.
During this process, Zhou Xu certainly did not forget to send out scouts to explore the deep mountain area near the barren mountain camp.
Taking into account the subsequent camp construction, the fields of their barren mountain camp would be arranged near the foot of the mountain on the inner side.
Wang Chuan had said before about this location that it might be harassed by members of other tribes outside.
Judging from the intelligence he had obtained so far, Wang Luchong was defeated by the Manshi tribe at that time and was forced to flee here, where he destroyed Li Ce's previous tribe and formed the subsequent scale.
As for those tribes that are dependent on the Manshi tribe, Wang Luchong is actually not afraid.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu naturally had no need to be afraid of those tribes. He could boldly carry out the exploration work in the area, and it didn't matter if he showed a bit of strength.
After all, in this primitive era, the law of the jungle prevails.
Appropriately displaying your strength and letting the enemies around you know how powerful you are can sometimes avoid a lot of subsequent troubles.
With this mentality, the scouts acted quite freely.
During this period, they certainly did not forget to bring the skeleton of their leader. Wherever they passed by, they would dig a hole and bury a body.
Hard work on weekdays can be of great help at some critical moments.
At the same time, these places where skeletons were buried made the scouts who were on mission feel an inexplicable sense of security. This feeling was really subtle.
After the scouts' investigation, Zhou Xu brought Zhou Chongshan with him to check for omissions as usual.
According to Wang Chuan, they fled in a very hurry at that time, and after fleeing here, an armed conflict broke out with Li Ce's tribe.
Afterwards, Wang Luchong was afraid that Manshi would not let him go, so for a period of time, he led his men to hide in this mountain, carefully farming and developing, and did not dare to show up at all.
Therefore, after he fled here, he had not explored this outer area in detail.
Until some time ago, he felt that he had accumulated enough strength and began to prepare to fight back and take revenge.
As a result, before the operation was officially launched, Zhou Xu came with his men to kill them...
In this case, Wang Chuan and the others really had no idea what was in this area, which made Zhou Xu feel somewhat expectant.
As of now, the deeper you go into the mountains, the more luxuriant the various wild plants grow. Even at the foot of the mountain, the changes are quite obvious. In comparison, their camp in the deserted mountains is much worse.
With expectation in his heart, Zhou Xu opened his "Eye of Insight".
It is important to mention here that the 'Eye of Insight' only improves his vision and insight, making it easier for him to discover clues hidden in the environment.
Essentially he has to find it himself.
It doesn't mean that once the 'Eye of Insight' is opened, all the secrets will appear directly before his eyes. That is not the case.
Compared with the relatively flat and open grassland environment earlier, obstacles were everywhere at a glance, and the obviously more complex mountain environment undoubtedly greatly limited the ability of the "Eye of Insight" and increased his burden.
During this period, due to various things, his mantra power has never fully recovered.
After adjusting his mindset, Zhou Xu quickened his pace, trying to improve his efficiency in this way.
The power of the mantra was constantly being consumed, causing Zhou Xu, whose condition had not yet recovered, to gradually feel tired.
Just when he was about to call it a day, a hint of green that was different from the surrounding mountain vegetation caught his eye from the corner of his eye.
[That is…]
Zhou Xu deactivated the 'Eye of Insight' to save energy, and having successfully locked the direction, he quickly walked towards that direction.
There was no need to say much during the period. Zhou Chongshan followed quickly and passed through the forest in front of him. A large area of unique plants appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the large area of plants in front of him, Zhou Xu couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
At this moment, what appeared before his eyes was a sea of bamboo! Looking at this sea of bamboo, he felt a little homesick. His hometown was full of bamboos, and there was a bamboo forest at the door of his home when he was a child.
But now he obviously can't go back. After all, in the other world, he has died in a car accident.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu took a deep breath, put away his little homesickness, and looked at the bamboo forest in front of him with a smile on his face.
Since there are bamboos, there must be another thing here, that is bamboo shoots. At the same time, dried bamboo shoots made from bamboo shoots are also a local specialty of his hometown. This is one of the typical "mountain delicacies"!
