Chapter 65: Pretending is human nature
Inside a fur tent in the Salt Lake Camp, the wolf suddenly opened his eyes as he heard the chirping of birds outside.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot and there were two big dark circles around his eye sockets, which showed that he had not slept all night.
I couldn't sleep at all when I could, which had never happened before.
It was not because he had just been defeated and surrendered yesterday, but because that whole night, his mind was full of thoughts about what their new leader and Zhou Chongshan had said before.
"The Chosen One summoned from the altar of the old gods?"
"The Chosen One actually exists?!"
That night, the wolf's head was buzzing.
To be honest, when the new leader told him that he was the chosen one summoned from the altar of the old gods, his first reaction was that the other party was teasing him.
In this world, there are indeed some mysterious "truth" powers.
However, things like the old gods, the old god altars, and the chosen ones basically only exist in legends, and the evil wolf never imagined that one day they would become real.
When he thought of this, the wolf's face was filled with disbelief.
He even suspected at one point that Zhou Chongshan was also deceiving him.
But on second thought, Zhou Chongshan doesn't seem to be the right material for this job.
The noise coming from outside the tent told him that a new day had begun. Having not slept all night, he was afraid that he would not have a chance to rest before the end of the day.
Forcing his sore eyes open, the wolf propped himself up and walked out of the tent.
At this point in time, the sky is still dark, but for them, a new day has already begun.
For primitive people like the wolf who make a living by hunting, before dawn is the best time to hunt.
He habitually took a breath of the damp and cold air with a strong smell of dew. Just as the wolf was thinking about what to do today, a 'gurgling' sound coming from afar caught his attention.
“What is this doing?”
His sore eyes were too hard to open, and after not sleeping for a night, the wolf now felt dizzy.
During this time, Zhou Chongshan, who happened to pass by, glanced at him and answered casually.
"I'm making breakfast."
Although he still had some grudge against the evil wolf, since he had already taken the initiative to speak to the leader and asked to spare the evil wolf's life, Zhou Chongshan naturally would not keep holding on to the past grudge.
Of course, I won't be too enthusiastic about him.
"breakfast."
The wolf hadn't slept all night, and it was obvious that his mind was not in shape at this moment.
Not to mention that he had never heard of the word 'breakfast' in his life.
Until the scent that aroused his instinctive reaction entered his nose...
At this moment, the drowsiness from the sleepless night was quickly dispelled, and the rumbling sound of his hungry stomach lifted his spirits.
Then a trace of confusion flashed across the wolf's face, and then he looked up at the sky which had not yet turned white.
Obviously, he had no idea why they were making food at this time.
This situation was completely beyond his common sense.
As the reflex arc continued to twist, the wolf seemed to realize something, and the confusion on his face quickly turned into shock.
"You, you eat two meals a day?!"
Because he was too excited, the wolf even stuttered. At the same time, the decibel level increased completely out of control, causing his voice to spread throughout the entire tribe.
Hearing the noise, the members of the Salt Lake Camp were stunned for a moment, then they all smiled smugly.
If they have been eating fish soup and fish for a while, they are basically used to it.
Then this breakfast is undoubtedly their happy time.
Of course, now that there is a newcomer here, they are ready to take action! "Isn't it normal to eat two meals a day?"
"What? You only eat one meal a day?"
"How can you have the energy to work if you don't eat breakfast?"
“…”
Under the bombardment of such words, the newcomers couldn't help but turn their gaze towards the evil wolf with two dark circles under his eyes.
This situation made the evil wolf's facial muscles twitch. Combined with the previous situation, he always felt that the gazes of his former subordinates at this moment were as if they were saying, "Look at them!"
This really made him feel a little embarrassed.
They are all leaders. If he does this, won’t it make him look inferior to others?
During this time, Zhou Xu, who had just woken up, stood outside his tent and listened to the voices ringing in the camp with a subtle expression.
Sure enough, pretending to be cool is human nature, an instinct engraved in human bones, and primitive people are no exception.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu made some adjustments. After seeing the wolf, he walked to its side and looked at it in disbelief...
"Did your tribe only eat one meal before?"
“…”
"No way? How can I bear this?"
“…”
At this moment, the evil wolf always felt that the guy in front of him was causing trouble.
But when he looked over and saw Zhou Xu's sincere face, he didn't know what to say.
I always feel like this guy's expression is like he's going to be tortured.
What should he say about this? Is it normal to eat only one meal a day?
How could he explain what was happening before his eyes? Thinking of this, the evil wolf was really numb.
In the end, he simply pretended not to see it.
In this day and age, you can’t survive without being thick-skinned.
The process of serving dinner was basically the same as last night, and now the Evil Wolf and the others did not seem to be unfamiliar with it.
When they taste the food for the second time, they will still be shocked and even moved by its deliciousness.
Even the wolf who hadn't slept all night felt more energetic after eating.
Taking advantage of the time after dinner, Zhou Xu, who had rested for a night, perked up and looked at the panels of the remaining 44 people in the Evil Wolf Tribe, except the Evil Wolf and Ye Yan.
The reason why he chose to check the panel at this time was naturally because he would have to allocate and arrange the additional manpower next.
Zhou Xu's eyes scanned the scene quickly, just like he was reading a novel before traveling through time. After all, his 'Eye of Insight' was charged by the hour, and once it was turned on, the power of the mantra began to be consumed continuously.
He couldn't regain much strength from sleeping. In order not to be exhausted by the energy, he had to speed up his movements.
After taking a look around, he had a rough idea in his mind.
Zhou Xu, who had turned off the "Eye of Insight", couldn't help but close his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows hard.
Then he quickly picked out ten people from the forty-four.
"The ten of you will stay in the Salt Lake Camp from today on. The remaining thirty-four will follow me to the Black Moon Camp."
“…”
