By the fifth day, the three who had collapsed seemed to have regained some spirit after a night of rest and returned to work, which relieved Lu G a bit.
On the sixth day, two more people in the tribe fell ill, but their conditions were not serious.
To be safe, Lu G had them temporarily set aside their work to rest properly.
On the seventh day, among the five patients, one person's condition worsened significantly.
The patient s face had lost all color, and he said he had difficulty breathing.
His violent cough seemed as if it might expel his lungs.
He looked like he was about to die.
On the eighth day, after a night of mental struggle, Lu Gi decided to further isolate the patient whose condition had worsened.
He even began to worry that those who went to deliver water and food might get infected by that patient.
And this thought tormented his mind.
On the ninth day, the patient with a worsening condition did not survive.
He died in his tent in the early hours of the day.
However, this was just the beginning.
As bad news continued to arrive, an old hunter from the hunting team fell while chasing a row deer and rolled down a hill, injuring his foot.
He would likely be unable to participate in hunting for some time, which was undoubtedly a further blow to the already dwindling food supply of the Ming Jing tribe.
On the 10th day, the person who had been responsible for delivering water and food to the sick patient was unfortunately infected.
At the same time, a member of the fishing team fell into a hole in the ice due to exhaustion, and we could not rescue him.
People were continuously collapsing, and everyone was hungry and tired, making the situation increasingly dire.
On the 11th day, another group of unexpected guests invaded the tribe.
Lu G led his warriors to permanently leave that group of intruders in the woods.
During the combat, one warrior was accidentally injured, but fortunately, the injury was not severe.
On the 12th day, the drop in temperature seemed to have stopped, but there was no upward trend.
The atmosphere within the tribe was much tenser than at the beginning, and many people began to panic with an uneasy atmosphere spreading among them.
On the 13th day, the two previously sick patients recovered.
This was undoubtedly the most wonderful sentence Lu G had heard in nearly half a month, and it thrilled him.
On the 14th day, a ray of sunlight broke through the thick clouds.
Unlike before, Lu G could swear to the heavens that he felt a touch of warmth.
Was the temperature rising? Regardless, the sky that had been gloomy for nearly half a month had finally cleared.
Chapter 53.
Rebirth.
After hardship we made it through, we survived.
Feeling the warmth of the sun on his body.
Lu G seemed to be in another world.
After a brief moment of days, he suddenly burst in a mad laughter.
Ha! Haha! God, you old man.
Em alive! Em alive! After nearly a month of despair, to hell with the low temperatures, to hell with the infectious diseases, to hell with the food crisis, who knows how much pressure he had endured in the past half month.
In this moment, Lu Gi was frantically releasing the pressure and emotions that had built up in his heart.
The ecstasy of surviving a disaster made him completely lose his reason at that moment.
The entire Mingjing tribe was in an uproar.
Women embraced and wept while the men all turned into madmen, each shouting excitedly, then imitating Luo Gi by flipping the bird at the sky even though they didn't teen know what it meant.
as a tribe that had developed steadily and was almost self-sufficient before the low temperatures hit.
Now, with the weather warming up, the people of the Ming Jing tribe, after a night of rest, quickly regained their productivity and after a few days, returned to a positive cycle.
With the weather just warming up, Lu Gi did not let his guard down.
He was still wrapped in a thick layer of animal skins as he inspected the work throughout the tribe.
And then he slowly walked to the medical department that he had just officially established a few days ago.
In fact, Lu G had started focusing on medical development early on, even placing great importance on it.
He had selected five individuals with an intelligence ceiling of three stars from the tribe to learn various herbal knowledge under Xiaoi.
Don't underestimate those with only three stars of intelligence.
Apart from Lu Gene himself, only Luo Gene and Xiao Pan and the entire tribe had an intelligence ceiling of four stars, totaling just three with no one reaching five stars.
So having three stars is already quite objective considering that the normal level for an average person is only two stars.
Three stars could be considered as talent.
Unfortunately for Lu G, there was a fatal flaw in the medical development of their tribe.
They had no idea where to start.
He himself was not a medical professional and his medical knowledge was limited to common sense.
Asking Gao Sue about it seemed feudal.
Even if he rambled off a prescription, it would te help Lu G if he didn't he know how to gather the herbs or what they looked like.
It was frustrating.
As a result, the medical development could only rely on the tribe members to figure things out themselves.
As the saying goes, every beginning is difficult.
Now the medical department of the Ming Jing tribe was stuck at that beginning stage and Lu G mood at this moment could be summed up as what to do.
I'm just as desperate.
What can I do? In short, he decided to assign them a task to study methods for treating the symptoms they had encountered before and let them research it themselves.
Fortunately, the five people in the medical department had learned well from Xiao he and recognized some herbs, which prevented Lu Gi from feeling too hopeless.
Of course, he couldn't he be optimistic either.
He felt he desperately needed a highquality talent with a four-star ceiling and medical talent to improve their tribe's medical level.
It seemed there was news today.
As night fell, seeing Luo Gene arrive cloaked in darkness.
A smile appeared on Lu G's face.
Since the establishment of the Hyen tribe, the reconnaissance team had a new frontline stronghold.
Using the Hyen tribe as a rest stop for back and forth.
They could scout farther every day and correspondingly when there was no news, Lu Gene usually stayed overnight at the high tribe and continued scouting the next day unless Lu G ordered him to return.
This time Lu G did not call him back, but he returned on his own, which could only mean that their reconnaissance team had made new progress in their mission.
Not rushing to discuss business.
It was already dark and no matter how fast they acted, they would have to wait until tomorrow.
There was no need to rush this moment.
After dinner, Lu Jeene spread out the map he carried with him.
It was the same map.
Lu G had instructed people to draw several copies, and the original one had always been in Lu Jin's hands.
Compared to before, this map had been improved a lot.
Lu Jeene quickly pointed to a spot here, southwest of the Hyen tribe.
It takes more than half a day to get there.
there s a small tribe with a population of over 30.
Hearing this, Lu G's eyes lit up.
A small tribe of over 30 people.
Considering the current population of the Ming Jing tribe, the best fit for them would be a small tribe with a population of around 20 to 30.
The more people, the harder it would be to assimilate them.
The opportunity for population and experience points was not something Lu G would let slip by.
However, it was a bit far.
According to Lu Gene, it would take more than half a day to get from the Hyen tribe to that place.
And it would take nearly half a day to get from the Ming Jing tribe to the Hyen tribe.
Simply calculating the time, it would take a whole day just for a one-way trip from the Ming Jing tribe.
Even though the Mingjing tribe had an absolute advantage in military strength at this time, they couldn't teact recklessly, careful planning was definitely needed, especially considering the issue of stamina.
Rubbing his chin and pondering for a while, Luog slowly spoke in short, "First, we'll mobilize troops to the Highen tribe, then rest there for a night and set off for that small tribe early the next morning.
" At this point, as if realizing something, Lu G's voice suddenly paused.
"No, even if we set off from the highend tribe, it would still take more than half a day to get there.
" Following that, even if we easily took down the small tribe with our military advantage, we wouldn't have time to bring their population back to the highen tribe before dark.
Realizing this, slight conflict appeared in Luo G's voice.
So, does that mean we have to rest for a night in that small tribe? This was not as simple as it sounded.
Simply put, in this era, only by bringing the population back to their own territory could it be considered a true annexation of the other side.
But if they had to rest for a night in that small tribe, then during that night, who could guarantee that the people from that small tribe wound Teed some trouble? Unfortunately, this night of rest was unavoidable because with those people, they couldn't te possibly rush back to the highen tribe overnight.
