Chapter 63 Zhou Xu's Difference
The evil wolf didn't expect Zhou Xu to bring up such a thing.
The rational mind told him that even if he accepted the proposal and won, he might not be able to change the current situation.
If I reject this proposal, I might be able to live a more stable life in the future.
But humans are creatures that cannot always maintain rationality! Let him just give in? He had to admit that he still felt a little bit uncomfortable.
Simply put, I just can't accept it!
Thinking of this, the wolf gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I accept!"
As they were talking, over at the Salt Lake Camp, as the sky gradually darkened, people had already started making fires and cooking.
Because the battle ended in the morning, and Zhou Xu immediately sent people to the Black Moon Camp to inform them of the situation.
So at this point in time, Ye Jinghong, who was in charge of the Black Moon Camp, had already sent people to carry a lot of fresh water and food.
Of course, considering the issue of transportation efficiency, even if more manpower is mobilized, there is definitely no way to ensure that everyone can have enough food and drink.
Therefore, Zhou Xu’s current idea is to give everyone a bite of food first and calm their emotions.
Thinking of this, he immediately grabbed Shi Lei and gave him some instructions.
"There are quite a lot of people this time, so the food we sent is limited. At dinner time, divide the grilled fish into four pieces for distribution."
"clear."
After hearing the instructions, Shi Lei nodded quickly.
As someone who had also served as a tribal leader, Shi Lei could of course understand Zhou Xu's thoughts at this time.
Under normal circumstances, every meal for their tribe members basically consists of a bowl of fish soup and half a grilled fish.
But this time, the population of the evil wolf's tribe is quite large.
After all, in this era, not many people died in simple battles. Most of those who died were infected due to post-war wounds that were not properly treated.
However, this problem has basically been solved by Zhou Xu.
This also meant that they basically took over the population of the opposite tribe. After counting, there were a total of forty-six people.
With this as a premise, their tribe already had sixty-eight people. Once these forty-six people were added in, they directly accounted for nearly half of the total population of their tribe.
At the same time, the total population of their tribe instantly broke through the 100-person mark, reaching 114 people! In this era when farming had not even begun, a tribe with a population of more than 100 was already incredible.
Because normally speaking, according to the hunting level of that era, just hunting every day is not efficient enough to maintain the normal operation of a tribe of a hundred people.
The reason why Zhou Xu had the confidence to annex these tribal populations was that their tribes had already developed "fishing industry" and "animal husbandry industry", which could provide them with meat in a relatively stable manner, rather than relying entirely on hunting activities with extremely poor stability.
In fact, even so, once this wave of population increases, the food pressure on their tribe will definitely increase significantly.
[It seems that we will have to increase the number of rafts, at least one more, or we will run out of food. ]
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking about this, a 'gurgling' sound gradually sounded in the camp. The aroma of fish soup gradually spread, causing the hungry captives, including the wolf, to subconsciously sniff it.
For the evil wolves who still eat raw meat and drink blood, they have never smelled such a fragrance before.
“What’s that smell?”
Smelling the fragrance, saliva began to be secreted in their mouths unconsciously, and their stomachs also made wails.
The feeling of hunger has never been so strong as it is now.
In response to the wolf's question, Zhou Xu just casually replied "dinner".
He was hungry and tired at the end of the day, and was still thinking about the settlement of this group of people and the subsequent development of the tribe.
I'm not in the mood for much small talk right now.
Dinner was ready soon. Looking at the fish rolling in the pot, the wolves stretched their necks unconsciously and swallowed their saliva.
During their escape, they basically had not had a proper meal and relied on eating tree bark and roots to fill their stomachs. Needless to say, how tempting the food in front of them was to them.
"It looks like dinner will be ready soon."
Zhou Xu, who also smelled the fragrance, stretched, stood up, and took two steps. As if he remembered something, he turned around to look at the wolf who was still lying there.
"You've been paralyzed for the whole afternoon. It's time for you to rest. You can at least walk a few steps on your own, right?"
[Could it be that…]
After hearing what Zhou Xu said, the evil wolf couldn't help but have some suspicions in his mind.
To be honest, although their new leader had vowed before that as long as he had a bite to eat, they would have a bite to eat too.
But as a captive, the wolf still has some self-awareness.
In this era, food has always been precious, and they have just been captured, have done nothing, and have not made any contribution to the tribe, and now they want to share the precious food?
This idea is a bit too naive.
But from what their new leader said, it seemed like they might actually get something.
During this time, Zhou Xu ignored him and just waved to Ye Yan who had already started to help process the herbs.
"Ye Yan, come and eat."
Having said this, Zhou Xu paused and then looked around.
"It's the same with you. I've said before, if I eat a bite, you eat a bite, and today is no exception."
Obviously, after calming down, few of the captives took Zhou Xu's words seriously.
And now Zhou Xu's actions really made them feel a little at a loss, and even the evil wolf was no exception.
On the contrary, Ye Yan was very decisive.
As a smart man, Ye Yan certainly knew his own value, but unlike before when he was under the command of the Evil Wolf, although it was only a brief contact, he felt that Zhou Xu valued him!
This is different from the evil wolf.
Although the evil wolf was aware of his value, in essence, he was still just ordering him to do things in the posture of a superior.
This also made Ye Yan develop a lot of good feelings towards Zhou Xu during their brief contact.
This is undoubtedly due to the fact that Zhou Xu was born in modern society, where various modern ideas and concepts are deeply rooted.
Even after traveling through time, he was very clear in assigning tasks to members of the tribe, but he was not bossy.
This ensured that people who followed his orders would not feel resentful. This alone made him superior to most tribal leaders of that era.
However, Zhou Xu himself did not seem to realize this.
