Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

#63 - Watcher in the Jungle

Inside the leather book were historical records.

53 years ago, 52 years ago, 51 years ago, there were three years of favorable weather.

The camp had a great harvest, and the faces of the outer city people were no longer pale or sallow, showing some color.

Just when people thought that life would continue to be so good.

50 years ago, in May, there was a torrential rain that lasted for a month.

The seedlings in the fields all died, and the stored grain sprouted and became moldy. Many people died of diarrhea after eating the spoiled grain.

Subsequently, the plague spread.

In the outer city of the camp, nine out of ten houses were empty.

In the inner city of the camp, the population was halved.

The situation improved 49 years ago, and in the next 5 years, the camp successively received many scavengers who had fled to seek refuge.

The population gradually recovered.

Then, 44 years ago, there was a severe drought.

The fields cracked, and there was no rain for half a year, until winter came.

People survived for a year on stored grain.

The following year, 43 years ago, the first season, because no seeds were sown last year, the fields were still barren.

In early summer, the rainfall returned to normal.

But when the millet seedlings had just grown to knee height, hail fell from the sky.

There was another crop failure, the simple houses in the outer city were smashed, and the inner city was also severely damaged.

Many people died of hunger and disease.

The next three years were slightly better. Although not every year was smooth sailing, there was always some harvest each season.

People could barely feed themselves by farming.

After all, farmland without breeding, fertilizers, or pesticides cannot produce much food.

39 years ago, there was a flood.

Countless people were killed or injured. After the flood, the bodies in the outer city were not cleaned up in time, and the epidemic broke out.

This is not history, this is clearly a history of blood and tears, a history of disaster!

Tang Wen frowned deeply.

The natural disasters in this world are too frequent.

Not only is it like this nearby, but it is also like this in other places.

According to the records in the leather book, there is a cycle every seven or eight years, and there are also many short-term minor disasters in between.

Survive and live, fail to survive and die!

Tang Wen recalled that his parents had brought his siblings to the camp to escape the famine.

Calculating the time, it has been less than ten years.

Now, the signs of a severe drought are showing again.

No wonder the camp is so nervous, and they started controlling food consumption early.

Tang Wen felt bitter in his heart, and looked outside the city: No wonder so many people would rather be scavengers, would rather wander, than find a place to farm peacefully.

Making a living by farming in this kind of unpredictable weather.

It's no different from gambling with your life.

What's more, for ordinary people, farming in the wild can be fatal at any time by a sudden mutated beast.

But, how could there be such strange weather?

Has the natural ecology also been severely damaged, or is there some other reason?

How long will this last?

One question after another popped up.

Tang Wen was full of doubts.

Humans are too fragile in the face of nature.

Feeling a burst of blockage in his heart, Tang Wen forced himself to continue reading.

In the record book, natural disasters continued.

But there is also good news,

About 10 years ago, the efficiency of farming was improved, and the yield per mu was higher.

At that time, many refugees fled from various places and became farmers in the outer city.

They brought some advanced experience, that is, composting and fertilization. The fertility of the land increased, and the yield reached a new level.

Pa.

Tang Wen closed the book, looked at the crowd, and sighed silently: So, the Flame Camp has only really had enough to eat in the past few years.

Drought is coming, I have to hoard food and meat!

After becoming the commander, Tang Wen was assigned a residence in the inner city.

There are not many houses, but the yard is very large.

It is only a wall away from Zhou Bing's house.

Originally, someone lived there, but the person in charge of distributing the yard quietly inquired about Tang Wen's situation.

He decisively came to the door and offered the condition of exempting half a year's rent for moving.

So, the tenant moved out happily.

The yard was smoothly assigned to Tang Wen.

He lived comfortably in Zhou Bing's house, and he had no intention of moving at all.

But now, he plans to use the yard.

Let's dig a cellar first!

Tang Wen came to a row of stone houses in the guard camp.

"Commander Tang," a familiar figure trotted over.

"Oh, Brother Li." He saw who it was.

"Oh, no, no, I can't afford it. If you have anything, Commander, just tell me to do it." Wang Li bowed slightly and stood respectfully beside Tang Wen.

Tang Wen thought for a while, and gestured: "I want to find someone to dig a very large cellar."

Wang Li readily agreed: "No problem, Commander, the construction team is idle!"

"Okay, then please find them for me."

"It should be, it should be!"

After a while, Wang Li brought back a middle-aged man with dark skin and an honest and simple face.

The other party looked nervous until he heard Tang Wen's request to dig a cellar, and then he relaxed.

"A three-story cellar for storing things? No problem, leave it to us!"

"How long will it take to build?"

"One month."

Tang Wen frowned.

The middle-aged man immediately changed his words: "It's okay to work overtime for twenty days, but you have to provide food, and give us some rice."

Wang Li turned his head sharply and glared at him.

Tang Wen reached out to stop him: "It's easy to say, I'll give you copper coins. In addition to providing food, three copper coins per person per day. Give me three times the number of people and get it done in seven days!"

"Okay, okay! No problem, no problem at all!" The middle-aged man bowed repeatedly excitedly.

Immediately, Tang Wen took the two of them into the inner city and came to his yard.

He stuffed Wang Li a tael of silver and asked him to be responsible for purchasing building materials.

Wang Li declined a few times, and finally accepted it, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know why recently, the camp is strictly checking the accounts, otherwise, why would the commander have to pay for it."

The construction team, who got the copper coins and ate a full meal, started working with all their might that day.

The workers were numerous, and the yard was not spacious enough to work in.

So they worked in three shifts, day and night.

The scene was like a construction site during a real estate boom.

The construction yard was only a wall away from Tang Tang's bedroom.

The young lady couldn't stand the noise and temporarily moved to Zhou Bing's house.

Five days later.

Tang Wen was practicing Hunyuan Stance in the guard camp commander's lounge.

Again and again, he didn't go out until noon.

Zhou Bing curiously looked at the door, and was very confused at first, feeling like a health exercise.

As Tang Wen began to practice the bed movements, she realized: "Xiao Wen, what kind of exercise are you practicing? Why does it look so, so indecent?"

Tang Wen didn't look at her, and hummed: "Isn't it you who will enjoy the blessings in the future?"

"Bah!"

The beautiful woman's cheeks flushed, but her eyes didn't move away at all.

After a while, she quickly went out and brought a few pots of food from the cafeteria.

[Hunyuan Stance, Entry → Mastery (1/3000)]

Hunyuan Stance broke through.

It can only be said that Tang Wen deserves to be a genius unanimously favored by several middle-aged and elderly male doctors.

Usually, when he practices Hunyuan Stance, he always feels particularly comfortable, and the speed of gaining experience is also fast.

At this rate, wouldn't it be just around the corner to have one wife and thirty concubines?

"The food is here! Come and eat."

Tang Wen didn't move, and looked at the attribute panel.

[Body: 8.05 → 8.65]

[Essence: 8.6 → 9.2]

"Huh?"

Only increased by 0.6?

Is it because the stamina of the exercise is insufficient, or what is the reason?

Hunyuan Stance, shouldn't it be similar to Vajra Skill?

The attribute should increase by about 1.0 for the second upgrade.

Could it be that my attributes are too strong, causing the effect of the exercise to weaken?

Goo goo goo.

Hungry, Tang Wen stopped thinking about this question and ate first.

He came to the dining table, and the plates and chopsticks were already set.

There was also a large jar of tea next to it.

Tang Wen reached out to pick it up, blew on it, took a sip, um, the temperature was just right.

He drank half a jar of tea in one breath.

After a burst of gobbling, Tang Wen stretched and burped.

Zhou Bing, who had already eaten her fill, bent down and skillfully cleaned up the messy cups and plates on the table.

Appreciating the wonderful curves she inadvertently revealed, Tang Wen's face was full of satisfaction.

If it were in the previous life, without the strength of four companies, three babysitters, and two cleaners at home, wanting to marry this level of beauty would be a dream!

Conservatively estimated, Zhou Bing could also become an international supermodel based on her figure.

If you add her skills, it would be amazing.

After being full and warm, Tang Wen couldn't help but stand behind the beautiful woman, helping her clean up together.

Squeezing together, Zhou Bing gave him a spoiled look: "Go back to the room and sleep, stop making trouble."

"How can it be making trouble?" Tang Wen refused to let go, and showed a look of intoxication on his face.

"Go, go, go!" Zhou Bing pushed him into the bedroom to rest.

She had summed it up, Tang Wen's strength increased greatly, not only did he need to eat a big meal, but he also had to sleep well.

In the evening, Tang Wen woke up.

He didn't see Zhou Bing's shadow inside or outside the yard.

He caught the gatekeeper and asked, only to find out that something had happened.

Recently, the guards have repeatedly received reports from scavengers.

Saying that some people are missing from their scavenger camp.

At first, the guards didn't take it seriously, it's too normal for scavengers to go missing.

It's as normal as a cat eating fish and a dog eating meat.

But as the scavengers reported more times, a guard went to take a look.

Immediately discovered the abnormality, the missing people were missing from one family after another, and they all lived on the west side of the scavenger camp.

Now, more than a hundred earthen houses and shacks there are all empty.

There are no special traces on the ground.

The guards felt something was wrong and reported the news to their hunting camp in the afternoon.

Zhou Bing had just taken people out to check.

Missing?

Tang Wen was surprised, this doesn't seem like something a mutated beast could drive out?

"Prepare a horse, lead the way."

He was also going to take a look.
