Chapter 75 I Know
As an unexpected extra meal, there were two roasted suckling rabbits in the morning, which were simply delicious for Zhou Xu who had been eating fish for a long time.
That little incident in the morning would not disrupt their plans for the whole day.
After breakfast, the entire tribe resumed its normal operations.
At present, the work of each department is going very smoothly, and there is nothing that Zhou Xu needs to worry about.
As time approached noon, Ye Jinghong and his group slowly appeared outside the Black Moon Camp.
The days of exploring are not easy. Since the fresh water and food they carry are very limited, they have to eat frugally with every meal in order to go as far as possible and explore more areas.
In addition, they had to sleep in the wild without the shelter of a camp, so they couldn't completely relax and rest. Over time, this took a serious toll on their mental and physical states.
At this moment, Ye Jinghong and his companions, who had finally arrived at the camp after a long journey, looked exhausted both physically and mentally.
Seeing the look of Ye Jinghong and the others, Zhou Xu said nothing and directly signaled the camp to light a fire and cook for Ye Jinghong and the others.
While the meal was being prepared, Ye Jinghong also demonstrated his "execution expert" style, seizing the opportunity to report to Zhou Xu.
The first things delivered were the baskets of plants.
Because they might be herbs, Zhou Xu also instructed them to collect some plants they had never seen before setting off.
These might be herbs, but Zhou Xu had no idea which ones they were, so he decided to hand them over to the medical department for further study.
During this process, Zhou Xu undoubtedly saw at a glance the extremely eye-catching bushes in the backpack and the red fruits growing on them.
"Where did you find this?"
Faced with this question, Ye Jinghong quickly recounted the situation at that time.
Zhou Xu clearly realized that the information Ye Jinghong brought back this time was actually more than he expected.
[From the description, it should be an animal similar to an antelope. You have to see it to know the details. It is also a herbivore. If it breeds...]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu let out a long breath and stopped thinking about it.
[Let’s wait until this matter is confirmed before we discuss it. There’s no point in thinking about it now.]
This is really the sequelae of too long development. Now, no matter what animal he sees, his first reaction is whether it can be bred and reproduced.
Most animals living in that area know clearly what they can eat and what they cannot eat in their original environment.
They will eat this fruit, which means there is nothing wrong with the fruit.
But out of caution...
Zhou Xu picked a fruit and then ran to the medical department.
He came here not to let Ye Yan study the fruit, but to borrow a mouse.
Picking up a cage for mice, Zhou Xu threw the fruit in his hand directly into it.
The mouse in the cage had been hungry for a long time. When it saw the food falling from the sky, it immediately rushed over, grabbed the fruit with its two front paws and started to eat it frantically.
The medical department has a large number of mice like this, and they are their "experimental mice".
After all, the testing of medicinal herbs requires test subjects, and such risky experiments certainly cannot be used on their precious manpower.
Under this premise, the best experimental target is mice.
To this end, he directly asked the transport team to pass the message on his behalf, asking Shi Lei at the Salt Lake Camp to send people to catch a batch of rats.
Put the mouse that has eaten the fruit aside first, and then just observe its condition slowly.
This observation may last one to three days, or even longer, after all, they also have to consider the possibility of chronic poisoning.
However, during this period of time, the berry bushes that Ye Jinghong and his team had dug up must not be left there.
So Zhou Xu directly called Wang Dashu, the leader of the farming group, and asked him to plant these berry bushes first to ensure they survived.
Wang Dashu obviously didn't expect that he had just got a job growing herbs, but in the blink of an eye, he got a new job.
Before, there was nothing else to do except turning the soil and accumulating fertilizer.
But now, various tasks are coming one after another, and it is finally time to test the ability of their farming team!
When he thought of this, Wang Dashu felt a little nervous.
But then I thought, the herbs that the leader had asked me to plant had been planted for a period of time without any problems, so I thought there would be no problem this time.
As this thought came to his mind, Wang Dashu suddenly calmed down a bit.
During this period, the exploration team led by Ye Jinghong returned to their respective tents and fell asleep after dinner.
During the days of exploration, they had accumulated too much fatigue both physically and mentally. If no one called them at dinner time, they would definitely sleep until the next morning.
"Jinghong, thank you for your hard work on this exploration mission. I declare that every member of the exploration team will be able to get a whole grilled fish!"
In this era, no reward is as real as this bite of food.
Grilled fish is their staple food, and each tribe member can only get half a fish at each meal. The temptation of enjoying a whole grilled fish alone is enough to make other tribe members around look at them with envy.
However, anyone who has seen the look on Ye Jinghong and the others' faces when they just returned would know that this is what they deserve.
After enjoying a delicious dinner, it was almost time for everyone in the tribe to get ready for rest.
And at this moment, Zhou Xu's sight fell on the evil wolf.
"Speaking of which, Wolf, your wounds should be almost healed, right?"
During the battle, the wolf was covered in blood, which looked scary, but in fact, they were only flesh wounds. In addition, the strength of the skeleton soldiers was relatively limited, so the wounds were not deep.
After applying Ye Yan's medicine and resting for a while, the wounds had basically scabbed over.
Hearing this, the wolves immediately knew what their new leader was going to say.
To be honest, after living in the Black Moon Camp for a while, he had completely accepted Zhou Xu's position as the leader and no longer had the idea of challenging him as he did in the beginning.
Now that Zhou Xu mentioned this matter, the evil wolf did not feel ashamed and directly said...
"I don't want to challenge anymore."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded calmly.
"Oh, then go outside and prepare. As for weapons, use a stick to avoid accidental injuries."
"Ah no, leader. I don't want to fight anymore."
At this moment, looking at the wolf with a messy face, Zhou Xu still looked calm.
"I know, but I want to fight."
As soon as the words fell, the ancient tone spread along with the power of mantra.
Instantly, ghost fire ignited in the empty eye sockets of the skeletons, and with the sound of "crackling", fifty or sixty skeleton soldiers in the camp stood up from the ground! (End of this chapter)
