Chapter 1452: Change of Thought
Regardless of whether they understood the previous words, they definitely understood the sentence "If we can't finish moving, we won't have dinner tonight!"
Although they were a little overwhelmed at first, as the work progressed, the tribesmen soon relaxed after realizing that as long as they carried the wood honestly, the Da Zhou soldiers would not do anything to them, and they would even have meals to eat at night.
There are currently only seventy-nine people in this group of captured tribesmen.
Their efficiency in carrying wood is basically lower than that of the logging team, which means their work intensity today is basically at full capacity.
In addition, their long-term malnutrition cannot be compensated by one meal. At the end of the day, they are all tired and dizzy.
Returning to the tent where they were being held, the tribesmen collapsed inside, not wanting to move, until that voice rang out...
"It's time to eat! Come and line up for your meal!"
These words were like a panacea, giving the paralyzed tribesmen new life.
Although they have only experienced it twice, they are already familiar with the queuing process, which is not complicated at all.
But this time it's a little different.
The Da Zhou soldier in charge of serving food took a quick glance and pointed at one of the tribesmen.
"You go first."
The tribesman who was suddenly pointed out was a little confused and obviously nervous.
He walked forward somewhat uneasily, looking at the other party, and the Great Zhou soldier spoke...
"You performed the best today and moved the most wood. This is a reward for you."
As he spoke, he took out a small dish of pickles as big as a soy sauce dish and gave it to the other party in front of all the tribesmen.
Then he was given the standard meal of a large pancake and a glass of water, and was asked to leave.
However, what happened just now was obviously seen by all the tribesmen, and it also made them curious about the so-called "reward".
Feeling the gazes of the tribesmen around him, the tribesman who had just taken two bites of the pancake also turned his eyes to the small dish of pickles.
Without thinking too much, I stuffed it into my mouth.
At that moment, the strong taste that quickly spread across his taste buds, coupled with the unique taste that was completely different from pancake, made him open his eyes wide unconsciously.
He didn't speak a word the whole time, or perhaps his limited vocabulary as a tribesman made him have no idea how to describe his experience at the moment.
He took a bite of pickles and a bite of pancake, and the food tasted better and better, making the other tribesmen who were watching couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
If they worked honestly that day, then on the new day, under the stimulation of rewards, these tribesmen actually burst out with some enthusiasm for work, which greatly improved the overall work efficiency.
Bai Tu, who heard the report, just nodded, not surprised at all.
The conditions of their Great Zhou are there. Not to mention the tribal people, even people from some backward countries may not be able to resist the temptation of their living conditions after coming here.
As long as these tribesmen are not stupid, they should know that helping them work honestly is a wise choice.
Three days later, the medical camp received the latest information on the wounded.
After several days of treatment, the medical team can confirm that the condition of the wounded has completely stabilized.
Even the injured person who had been unconscious due to severe poisoning has now regained consciousness.
Although I am still very weak, judging from the current situation, as long as I continue to take the medicine and rest for a week or two, I should be able to recover completely.
Bai Tu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the situation.
The other party's method of poisoning was a bit annoying after all. Although the casualties of more than ten or twenty people were not worth mentioning for their pioneering troops.
But the other side is just a primitive tribe!
Facing this opponent, Bai Tu didn't want to pay any casualties at all.
Now the medical team has given a clear answer that they have a way to deal with the symptoms of poisoning. For Bai Tu, this is equivalent to someone backing him up, which makes him feel a lot more relieved.
Under this premise, with the lesson learned this time, once a battle occurs in the future, in case of poisoning, according to the physical fitness of their Great Zhou soldiers, as long as the poison is removed as soon as possible, the harm can be minimized.
At the same time, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the logging team, the route from the outskirts of the jungle to the first tribal camp has now been cleared.
Of course, at this stage, all the large trees and vegetation along the way have been removed, which can at most allow infantry units to advance quickly, but if we want to allow vehicles and horses to pass, the road surface will have to be repaired again.
But for Bai Tu, it is enough for the time being.
During this period of time, the tribal leader named Kala escaped during the fight with Lin Youshu and never appeared again.
Bai Tu had no interest in searching for him.
Having confirmed that all three camps on the island were occupied by the enemy tribe, and now that one of the camps had been destroyed by them, the enemy was most likely to have moved to the second camp.
The ultimate goal of this wave of Great Zhou troops is to completely occupy the entire island. Under this premise, they will definitely take down the remaining two camps on the opposite side one by one.
In this process, they will inevitably confront each other again.
There is no need to rush right now, just do the job at hand first.
With the opening of this route, corresponding reconstruction work began around the primitive tribe’s camp.
The first thing to do is to cut down the trees around the camp and expand the camp area.
After all, this is a camp with less than a hundred people. Considering the subsequent actions they need to carry out, this area is somewhat insufficient.
After the order was given, the logging team quickly started working.
During this period, in order to improve the work efficiency of the tribesmen, we simply removed their shackles.
At that moment, many tribesmen were stunned and subconsciously glanced at the jungle that was almost in front of them.
[If I rush into this jungle right now, the soldiers of the Great Zhou will definitely not be able to catch me...]
This thought flashed quickly through the minds of the tribesmen.
But soon, they shook their heads again.
[What are you thinking about? Here I have food and drink, and I sleep soundly every day. It's much better than before. Why am I running away? Running away to chew on tree bark?!]
At this moment, the tribesmen felt that their previous thoughts were simply crazy. How could they have such an outrageous idea?
Don't think about it, just get to work! Another fulfilling day! (End of this chapter)
