This would significantly increase the tribe's food consumption.

But as long as they could keep their strength, they would always find a way to solve the food problem.

Aside from that, what worried Lu Gi a bit more was the situation over at the Highen Tribe.

The drastic drop in temperature had once again heightened the importance of coal, increasing the demand.

Although he had been stockpiling the coal mine from the Highen tribe during that previous period, given the consumption rate from last night, he truly did not know how long it would last.

In this situation, the tribe's top priority needed to change.

LuG instructed the lumberjack team to temporarily set aside their current tasks.

dividing them into two groups.

One group would temporarily join the mining team and head to the highend tribe to expedite coal extraction, while the other group would go to the farming land where white radishes have been discovered to dig up more white radishes or other vegetables.

The entire tribe's focus on development began to shift towards food and coal.

Chapter 48.

Variables and surprises looking at the tribe members who were all immersed in their work.

Laji let out a long sigh and sat down by the fire.

Next, he needed to think about what to do next.

Yesterday's situation made him thoroughly understand what it meant for the weather to be unpredictable, and his original plan was thrown into chaos.

How long would this continuously dropping temperature last? Would anyone in the tribe get sick after changing to three meals a day? Could the food supply hold up? Could coal mining meet the daily consumption? I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

There were too many unknowns waiting for him to confirm.

Waiting for him to know.

Yet at this moment, sitting by the fire, Laji felt groggy, his mind blank, almost halting in thought, and his expression became a bit dazed.

This terrible state made a sense of foroding rise in his heart.

Damn, could it be that I am the one getting sick as his thought arose, Luaji felt his heart skip a beat.

He quickly drank another bowl of hot water and called over Lua Yong and Xiaoan.

I need a rest for a while.

You two pay close attention to the situation in the tribe and don't let her guard down.

some matters.

You two could discuss and decide.

If you encounter something you can't decide on, come wake me up.

Understood.

Chief, you rest well.

Seeing Luaji's somewhat pale face, Xiaoan felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

At this moment, he clearly realized he had to do something.

Unlike the previous time when Luaji left the tribe and entrusted its safety to him, this time Ziao Pan actively took on this heavy burden himself.

Xiaoan the chief wouldn't he possibly be watching Laji turn and crawl into the tent to rest.

Lyong<unk>s voice tinged with a bit of unease sounded.

However, before he could finish, he was forcefully interrupted by Xiao Pan.

The chief is just too tired from last night's sudden situation.

So, he didn't sleep well and needs to rest now.

Do you understand? Dao Pan's words were firm and carried an air of undeniable authority as if he had transformed into a different person.

At that moment, as the trib's first warrior, Lu Yong felt an unresisting sensation rise in his heart when facing this opponent he could easily defeat with one hand, and he nodded stupidly.

Inform the others.

Let the 12 warriors split into four groups, three in each group, with two warriors and one stonethrower to patrol the area around the tribe.

The change in weather might force people from other tribes to a dead end.

And if we encounter them, conflict is inevitable.

We must not be careless.

When Laji was not in the tribe, Xiaoan had been a cityguard general, so commanding wasn't unfamiliar to him, and he naturally exuded an aura of a general.

Although Lu Yong was the first warrior, he was not skilled in command or coordination.

Moreover, after the recent joint training, the 18 warriors in the tribe had already become brothers who shared joys and sorrows.

So at this time, they naturally wound T question Xiaoan's command.

The only doubt was, "What about me? What should I do? Everyone else is patrolling.

You stay in the tribe for two reasons.

to protect the chief's safety.

And on the other hand, as he spoke, Xiaopan glanced around.

As the tribe's first warrior, your presence in the camp will reassure everyone.

Also, if others ask about the chief, just say what I mentioned earlier.

Understood? Okay, I understand.

What did I say before? The chief is too tired from last night's sudden situation, so he didn't sleep well and is currently resting.

Yes, that is how it should be said.

After instructing Luo Yong, Xiaopan stood up and walked toward the camps exit, adjusting his breathing discreetly as he walked, easing the anxiety in his heart.

He knew what Lu Yong was thinking, but he was even more aware that such thoughts or similar rumors must not spread in the tribe.

Everyone had just experienced the sudden temperature drop last night and were already a bit anxious.

At this critical moment, if the news of the chief possibly falling illspread, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As a person of this era, Zia Pan understood better than anyone the horrors of illness.

To put it bluntly, in their time, illness often equated to death.

So, the pressure he was under at this moment was immense.

He couldn't te stay in the trib's camp.

He was a bit worried he wouldn't te be able to bear the pressure and would expose it in the tribe.

He needed to divert his attention and find something to do.

With this thought in mind, he planned to check on the lake surface.

The sudden drop in temperature was quite severe, and he was concerned that the members of the fishing team would suffer from being on the ice for too long.

After a round of checking, everyone seemed to be in decent condition, which relieved Xiaoan a bit.

He then went to the farming area and repeatedly reminded everyone to pay attention to their health.

By the time he returned to the camp, it was already close to noon.

Luo Jeene, who had been moving back and forth between the Ming Jing tribe and the Hyen tribe, had returned with news and was about to report to Loaji when he was stopped by Lu Yong guarding the fire outside.

Lu Jeene frowned slightly.

I have something to report to the chief.

The chief is resting.

Before Lu Yong could speak, Ziaopan's voice came from behind Lu Jene, instinctively turning to look at the expressionless Xiao Pan, Lu Jin<unk>s brows furrowed even tighter.

He was also a smart person and quickly the image of Laji's somewhat pale face from that morning flashed in his mind.

Panic surged in his heart and he hurriedly lowered his voice to ask, "Tell me the truth.

Is the chief sick?" Hearing this, Pan looked deeply at Lu Jeene and then repeated what he had said earlier.

"The chief is resting.

" A flicker of understanding passed through Luo Jyn's eyes, and he sighed heavily, taking two steps to sit down next to the fire.

Seeing the scene, Xiao Pan took the initiative to speak.

What is the situation over at the Highen Tribe? You can tell me.

The chief before resting delegated some decision-making power to Mi and Lu Yong.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jeene instinctively glanced at Lu Yong, who nodded in agreement.

With the answer in hand, Lu Jeene turned his gaze back to Xiaoan.

As he had mentioned before, he and Lu Yong had grown up together, so he knew how much wisdom Lu Yong had.

What decisions could Lu Yong make? To put it bluntly, the reason the chief had brought Lu Yong along was to add persuasiveness to Xiaoan's decisions.

In other words, the real decision maker now was Xiaoan.

However, he didn't deny that comparatively indeed had a stable personality and was someone who knew what he was doing.

Thinking of this, Luo Jean slowly spoke.

Over at the Hyen tribe, there was an accident.

Chapter 49.

Xiaoan's decision.

There was an unexpected incident at the highen tribe.

Upon hearing this, immediately raised his hand and made a stop gesture, indicating that this was not the place to talk.

Follow me.
