Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 571: Chapter 245: Cause and Effect, Perspective, Return to the Beehive (Part 3)

As soon as Xia Hong spoke, everyone’s expressions tightened.

The monster grows by killing, and with the White Dew Plague’s highly efficient killing method, the speed at which that monster improves is likely beyond their imagination.

Wu Xiong has already infiltrated the Long Mountain army camp. According to the news brought back by Yuan Cheng, at least thousands or even tens of thousands have fled from Yangyuan Peak. Every minute of delay could make that monster stronger.

”There’s no time to lose. Let’s depart now. I also need to go to the Beehive to see Yuwen Dao and Yuan Cheng!”

Previously, Xia Hong’s focus had always been on the struggle for supremacy in Longyou, but upon hearing the news of the White Dew Gu, he immediately shifted his focus.

There was no choice; the psychological shadow cast by the Wood Puppet Monster and Jing Xian was too significant.

Leaving the monster unchecked is not something that can be solved by just a few deaths.

Xia Hong acted decisively. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately set off with eleven Cold Resistance Levels, sweeping toward the Beehive.

”Leader, Long Mountain and Zhaoyang are still fighting. Judging by Wu Xiong’s infiltration, there’s a high chance that the armies from both sides going out have been infected. If we don’t intervene and that White Dew Gu kills so many people...”

On the way, hearing Qiu Peng’s reminder, a glimmer of appreciation appeared in Xia Hong’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel happy for Qiu Peng’s growth.

He was eager to get the Solidified Fire Oil but not just for the more than thirty thousand people in Wushuang. He was also considering those from the Long Mountain army and Hanqiong Station.

It’s a matter of perspective!

Currently, with the struggle between Long Mountain and Zhaoyang, Great Xia wants to profit as a third party. The best way is naturally to watch the two sides battle to the death, hoping that both exhaust their foundations. At that point, Great Xia could unify the entire Longyou land without much effort.

But compared to this, dealing with the White Dew Gu is undoubtedly more important.

The harm caused by the monster is far more significant than territorial battles and power struggles.

Especially now, when Great Xia’s power is not yet sufficient to deal with the monster, should the White Dew Gu grow, Great Xia would equally suffer.

Qiu Peng’s ability to transcend the struggle mindset and focus on more critical matters proves that his perspective far surpasses many others.

”Let’s get the Solidified Fire Oil first. Of course, we’ll deal with Long Mountain and Zhaoyang, but the premise is ensuring our people’s safety. By the way, are you clear on the inventory of Solidified Fire Oil?”

”The inventory when I left was 92,183 blocks.”

As expected from the Camp Supply Department Director, Qiu Peng almost blurted out the critical material inventory numbers like Solidified Fire Oil.

Over ninety thousand blocks, that should be enough for Longyou.

Xia Hong felt much more relaxed and quickened his pace.

The group soon entered the Beehive territory.

They had only gone less than a kilometer to the southeast when they came upon a caravan of about twenty people hurriedly advancing through the snow.

From afar, upon seeing Hong Tian in the lead, Xia Hong immediately rushed over.

”Lord Luo, Lord Qiu... Leader, why are you here?”

Seeing Xia Hong in the crowd, Hong Tian immediately showed delight and quickly bent down in salute.

But Xia Hong clearly didn’t have the mind to chat more, waved, glanced at the caravan, and immediately inquired about the quantity of Solidified Fire Oil.

”Mirror Valley sent a total of fifty thousand blocks of Solidified Fire Oil. We left twenty thousand in the Beehive; there are thirty thousand blocks here that we’re planning to send to Wushuang.”

”Peng Bo and Chen Yingyuan will return to the Beehive with me, and the rest of you will cooperate with Hong Tian to deliver the Solidified Fire Oil to Wushuang as quickly as possible!”

Upon Xia Hong’s command, he took Chen Peng and headed directly to the Beehive.

The remaining people nodded in compliance, and with Hong Tian, two of them cleared the snow path, while the rest pushed the caravan forward swiftly.

With the addition of nine Cold Resistance Levels, the caravan’s pace immediately multiplied, speeding quickly toward Wushuang.

Meanwhile, Xia Hong, along with Chen Peng, had arrived at the Beehive.

Walking along the boulder corridor into the underground, entering the iron gate of the main zone, Xia Hong quickly saw Meng Yi stationed there, along with a group of Great Xia soldiers.

”Where are Yuwen Dao and Yuan Cheng? Take me to see them.”

Before Meng Yi and the others could greet him, Xia Hong directly interrupted him.

Meng Yi also realized the urgency and immediately led him to meet Yuwen Dao and Yuan Cheng.

In the main building of the Hive Main Zone, Xia Hong quickly saw the unconscious Yuwen Dao and beside him, the severely injured Yuan Cheng.

”Leader, why are you here?”

Yuan Cheng, visibly moved, immediately stood up.

After rescuing Yuwen Dao’s group from Yang Lu, due to his severe injuries, he had been staying in the Beehive to recuperate.

Xia Hong’s arrival brought a pleasantly unexpected surprise to him.
