Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 616: Chapter 261: The Shock of Peng Bo and Chen Yingyuan, Great Xia’s Martial Gathering (Part 2)

The Outer City’s Peng Bo and Chen Yingyuan also met their respective families.

In Room No.1 of the temporary large wooden house closest to the Inner City iron gate, at the top floor.

Seven-year-olds Liu Ming and Qin Feng, seeing Peng Bo again after half a month, couldn’t help but cry tears of joy as they rushed directly into his arms.

”Granduncle, you’re finally back!”

Peng Bo picked up the two children, his expression also somewhat moved. Both of his sworn brothers, Qin Gu and Liu He, had their families wiped out, leaving only these two children. No matter what, he had to raise these two kids and help his brothers continue their bloodlines.

”Where is Xiao Zu?”

Before the children could answer, a middle-aged woman came out from the bedroom behind them, holding a baby in her arms. If it wasn’t his grandson Peng Zu, who else could it be?

”Greetings, Lord Peng Bo. I’m Zhu Mei, arranged by the Camp Supply Department to take care of the three young masters.”

The woman first handed the baby in her arms to Peng Bo, then bowed in respect.

”Granduncle, Aunt Mei treats us very well. It has been her taking care of us and Xiao Zu during this period.”

Peng Bo didn’t pay attention to the two grandsons’ words. His focus was entirely on his grandson Peng Zu in his arms. After a while, he turned to look at Liu Ming and Qin Feng, a hint of surprise arising in his eyes.

”Your Basic Strength...”

”Oh, I almost forgot. Grandpa, our Basic Strength is now 1,500. How’s that, impressive, right?”

Before Peng Bo could finish speaking, Liu Ming interrupted him.

Even the usually calm Qin Feng couldn’t help but jump in now, saying excitedly: ”During these past two weeks, Aunt Mei gave us lots of good stuff, like Beast Essence Pills, salt, Chen Xiang fruit preserves... Aunt Mei is such a great cook; the Beast Meat she makes is especially delicious. And there’s the Beast Fruit Milk she brought, something I’ve never seen before. Xiao Zu stopped crying as soon as he drank it, and his body kept improving, he wasn’t afraid of the cold during the days anymore...”

Hearing his grandsons speak endlessly about Zhu Mei’s kindness, Peng Bo couldn’t stop smiling and nodding. But when he looked at Zhu Mei, his gaze remained indifferent.

A dignified Cold Resistance Level expert like himself joining the Great Xia, having his three grandsons receive special treatment was only normal.

You could tell from where his grandsons were living.

This temporary large wooden house only had two floors. At least 500 people were crowded on the ground floor, whereas his three grandsons lived in this separate room on the second floor.

In Peng Bo’s view, this woman named Zhu Mei was clearly deliberately sent by the higher-ups of Great Xia. The reason she treated his grandsons nicely was ultimately to win him over.

This Zhu Mei was most likely assigned to serve him.

Peng Bo, after all, was a leader of Yang Lu, long accustomed to high positions. A servant, he naturally wouldn’t show any kindness.

But what Zhu Mei said next made him immediately realize how terribly wrong he was.

”Now that Lord Peng has returned, it’s time for me to take my leave.”

Though Zhu Mei addressed him as Lord, her tone was calm, without any sign of subservience. She continued: ”These three children must have suffered a lot outside. They had injuries and a lot of cold energy within their bodies when they came over. I traded some Hot Wind Pills from the Camp Supply Department, and after they ate them, they got a bit better. But more recuperation is needed, and the Beast Meat and Hot Wind Pills should not be stopped.

That baby hasn’t had breast milk for a long time, likely only fed with fruit juice before, leaving him very weak. Lord Peng should find time to trade for some Beast Fruit Milk at the Camp Supply Department, continue feeding him, and his health will improve greatly...”

Zhu Mei instructed plenty in one breath, before looking down at Liu Ming and Qin Feng with a gentle smile, saying: ”Xiao Ming, Xiao Feng, you must listen to your grandpa in the future. Aunt Mei has a child your age at home, named Huang Tianxi. When he comes to the Inner City later, I’ll have him make friends with you, okay?”

”Okay, Aunt Mei.”

Liu Ming and Qin Feng agreed eagerly, watching Zhu Mei leave with reluctance all over their faces.

Just like that... she left...

Peng Bo stood there, full of bewilderment.

Zhu Mei wasn’t the servant arranged for him by Great Xia?

During his days in Longyou, Peng Bo wasn’t entirely clueless about Great Xia.

Minister Xia Chuan, the Six Ministries of Great Xia, the Camp Supply Station, Dan Medicine, clothing, Contribution Value, and rules for prisoners... He had heard all about these aspects of Great Xia from people like Luo Yuan.

Even back in Longyou, he already had a dedicated record of Contribution Values.

If he remembered correctly, he was rewarded with Contribution Values twice by Xia Chuan for pursuing Wu Xiong and going to Hanqiong to rescue Xia Hong, totaling about 800 points.

Coming to Xia City tonight and seeing the sprawling black city walls, the Great Xia people’s colorful attire and various tools, and their detached houses, Peng Bo admitted when he saw the vibrant and prosperous scene before him, his heart indeed stirred.

Yet, regardless of these inner stirrings, he was well aware that with his cultivation strength, he was bound to hold a high position in Great Xia, and likewise, his three grandsons would naturally enjoy special treatment easily.

But now he realized it might not be as expected!

”Grandpa, Great Xia is really nice. Every day someone comes to the wooden house to distribute free Beast Meat to all of us. It’s Aunt Mei who exchanged extra because of our poor health. She not only cares for us but many orphans in this building. Sometimes, when she cooks something good, she calls many to join in eating...”
