Chapter 2 What a hell of a start!
Almost at the same time as this thought flashed through Zhou Xu's mind, a content similar to a background story emerged in his mind.
Their tribe was attacked by other tribes a week ago. After a brief battle, they were defeated and eventually fled here.
But the former tribal leader also died in the previous attack. The surviving tribal members fled here and happened to find an ancient altar that had been passed down. They used the altar to hold a summoning ceremony and summoned him, the "chosen one", to become the new leader and lead them to continue on.
The existence of the system made him feel a little unreal, and this sense of unreality made Zhou Xu relax a lot.
As a modern college student who just graduated, Zhou Xu played a lot of games and read a lot of novels.
I'm not really unfamiliar with things like time travel and systems.
My mind was too confused at first, but now that I have calmed down, I can sort things out.
But he really didn't expect that this thing would actually hit him on the head.
Although he was already dead in the other world, it was a good thing that he was still alive after traveling here. But now facing this completely unfamiliar world, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart.
Taking a deep breath and accepting the reality, Zhou Xu knew in his heart that he had to cheer up quickly.
[In short, my first task right now should be to find a suitable place to set up camp and settle down.]
As Zhou Xu was thinking, he glanced at the primitive people kneeling below. A rough estimate showed that there were about twenty or thirty people.
When he used to play games in the dormitory, his favorite ones were war strategy and business development games. He had played almost all the games available on the market.
The current situation is somewhat similar to some games.
As a modern college student who just graduated, he is unlikely to have any experience in survival in the primitive world, but if he is properly involved in the game, he can at least grasp some ideas of action.
[If it were in a game, at the beginning, you would first have to ensure that there are the most basic survival resources around, that is, fresh water and food. Under this premise, having wood and stone would facilitate later construction...]
However, he had already noticed just now that the surrounding area was entirely wasteland!
[Is this the rhythm for me to chew mud? 】
Zhou Xu, who obviously needed more information at the moment, turned his gaze to the man in front of him.
"Do you have a name? What is it?"
In response, the terrified man hurriedly said...
"Dashan, Chief, you can call me Dashan."
[From the way they talk, they are quite different from the primitive people I imagined, but this world doesn't look like an ordinary primitive world either. ]
"Dashan, are you new here? Have you checked out the surrounding area?"
What was originally thought to be not a difficult task, now because the surrounding environment was so bad, Zhou Xu was under increased pressure.
Faced with this question, Dashan simply shook his head.
"Not yet. We were attacked by other tribes. When we fled here and found this altar, everyone was too tired to run anymore."
After Dashan said this, Zhou Xu could basically guess what would happen next.
At the same time, Dashan's words reminded him that there was still the hostile tribe that attacked them.
If the people from the hostile tribe continue to hunt them down, then wouldn't they have a restless life in the days ahead? [What a hellish start! ]
At this moment, Zhou Xu, who couldn't help but complain in his heart, quickly asked the question that he was most concerned about.
"The people from that tribe are still chasing you?"
After hearing this, Dashan shook his head again.
"Probably not. We have already fled quite a long distance. It would be very risky for them to chase us out, and there is not enough food."
"Which direction are you coming from?"
"This way."
After a simple identification, Dashan pointed out a direction.
"Sure?"
"Sure!"
"Okay, take everyone and follow me."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu led a group of tribal members under his command and moved in the opposite direction.
In this area, all he saw was wasteland, and it didn't look like a good place to camp.
Under this premise, since they had to move anyway, why not go a step further and create a safe distance from the hostile tribe? Zhou Xu could see the fatigue of the tribe members below, but after receiving the order, they still gritted their teeth and stood up, following Zhou Xu to move, without showing much dissatisfaction or complaints on their faces.
This situation made Zhou Xu feel more at ease.
Although these people respected him as their leader, knelt and kowtowed to him and showed great respect, whether he could command them was another matter.
Especially when they are clearly too tired to walk anymore.
Zhou Xu was undoubtedly satisfied with the current results.
"I still need a few more people to scout the way ahead. Who has the energy left?"
Faced with this question, all the tribal members looked at each other in bewilderment.
It's not that they don't want to go, but now they are already exhausted just by following, how can they have the energy to run to the front to explore the way? Seeing this, Dashan immediately stood up and proposed.
"Chief, how about I go?"
Just as Dashan said this, a hand stretched out from the crowd.
"I'll go explore the way."
As he was speaking, a thin man with a dusty face walked out from the crowd.
"I still have strength. I'll go explore the way."
"May I have your name?"
"Flying bird."
During this time, Zhou Xu's eyes swept over all the tribal members again. When he saw that no one stood up again, he turned his gaze to Fei Que.
"Okay, Feique, I'll leave this to you. You don't need to run too far. Prioritize your own safety. If you find any situation, come back and report to me immediately."
"yes!"
After receiving a response, Fei Que did not hesitate and quickly trotted away from the main group to explore the way ahead.
Dashan originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhou Xu.
"Dashan, stay here. I still need to ask you something."
"yes."
After simply sending one person to scout the way ahead, the large army started moving again.
Zhou Xu also made full use of the time during the move and asked Dashan questions.
"Is there any food left in the tribe?"
"Everyone should still have a little bit, but not much."
Facing Zhou Xu, the chosen one, the other party had no intention of hiding anything and directly took out a few dirty things from his body.
Zhou Xu took a glance and could roughly tell that it was something similar to plant roots, and there seemed to be a few pieces of bark mixed in it.
[No wonder everyone is so hungry, the food pressure is greater than I expected, but this may also be related to the poor surrounding environment.]
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Fei Que, who was assigned to explore the way ahead, came back jogging.
"Forest, there is a forest ahead!"
"lead the way!"
After hearing this, Zhou Xu quickly perked up and quickly let Feique lead the way.
The distance was not too far. After walking for about ten minutes, a forest in the distance came into Zhou Xu's sight.
Originally, finding a forest should have been a good thing, but when looking at the forest, Zhou Xu frowned.
The 'forest' in the distance was completely different from the forest he had imagined. The trees were bare and there were almost no leaves.
At the same time, the main bodies of the trees are all dry and black in color, and look strange in shape. The whole forest exudes a weird atmosphere.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Xu would definitely not want to get close to such a forest, but looking around at the wasteland, the current situation did not seem to give him much choice...
[Forget it, let’s go over and take a look first. ]
"Everyone cheer up and be careful."
With this mentality in mind, after reminding everyone to be careful, the group moved swiftly to the outskirts of this strange forest.
