Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind.

With a rational mind, Lu Gene knew that given the current population of the Ming Jing tribe, building another subsidy would be akin to seeking death.

It wasn't like the coal mines, which were non-renewable resources.

As for crops, he could just dig them all back.

With the trib's members leading the way, Lu G quickly found the location.

Without wasting any words, everyone worked together to dig up everything they could.

This decision delayed their return time until noon.

It seemed they wouldn't make it back to the Ming Jing tribe today and would have to spend another night in the Hyan tribe.

However, that was no big deal.

This trip had yielded two types of crop resources and over 30 manpower.

This was practically a bumper harvest.

No matter how you calculated it, it was worth it.

At this moment, Lu G, fully loaded and in high spirits, was just short of humming a tune and dancing to celebrate.

The fact that he would return to the Ming Jing tribe a day later was a trivial matter and could never affect his current good mood.

Chapter 58.

Exposure risk.

Recommended update by Zhao.

I don't know if it's because the heavens disapprove of Luogs good mood, but a member of the reconnaissance team waiting near the Black Rockck tribe brought news that made the joy on Lu G's face quickly fade at a visible speed.

During his absence, it seemed that the location of the mirror tribe had been discovered by people from other tribes.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Ji no longer had the mood to stay another night at the Black Rockck tribe.

He directly took Luo Yong and several wolf warriors to leave first.

Under their escort, they hurried back to the Mirror Tribe overnight.

As they passed through the woods and saw the tribe camp peacefully situated by Mirror Lake, Lu G let out a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that the other party had not made a move easily.

After all, in this era, the mirror tribe could also be considered a large tribe, and their population was enough to make many tribal members think twice before taking action.

Upon returning to the tribe, Luogi immediately called for Xiaoan to inquire about the situation.

When Xiao Pan saw Luo Gi, he had a face full of self-reroach.

Feeling that it was his subordinate negligence that failed to deal with the intruders in time.

Seeing Xiao Pan s guiltridden expression, Lu G waved his hand, saying, "It's not your fault.

Tell me the specific situation.

" Xiaoan had obviously organized his thoughts long before and spoke methodically about the events.

In short, it was reported that other barbarian figures had appeared around the mirror tribe, but the other party seemed to have some concerns and did not take further action.

After being discovered, they turned and ran away.

Pan had already sent a member of the reconnaissance team to follow their footprints, hoping to trace back and find the location of the barbarian camp.

Lu Gene nodded in agreement with Shiaopan's response.

If only the other party knew their location while they had no idea where the other camp was.

That would be too passive.

Has the scout returned? Lu Gi asked instinctively.

Not yet.

Xiao Pan shook his head.

All right, I understand.

You've worked hard these past few days.

Go back and rest in the tent.

Lu Gi said since they made the leather water bags and jerky, the reconnaissance soldiers had significantly longer task durations outside, and it wasn't unusual for them to occasionally not return for a night.

Luog wasn't particularly worried.

After all, they were experienced veterans.

Perhaps their combat abilities were limited, but their survival skills in the wild were quite excellent.

In contrast, Lu Gi was more concerned about Xiaoan's mental state.

Looking at his eyes, which were clearly showing dark circles, Lu Gi understood that after such an incident, Zia had definitely not been sleeping well these past 2 days.

Therefore, after understanding the situation, Lu Gi quickly urged Xiao Pan to rest.

After Xiao Pan left, Lu G let out a long breath.

He knew very well where the problem lay.

Their tribe had only 18 warriors in total.

Three guarding the Black Rock Tribe, three guarding the Mirror Tribe, leaving the remaining 12 to follow him on the expedition.

This directly resulted in a shortage of warriors in the Mirror tribe, including Xiaoan, making it impossible to uphold the patrol duties.

With too few patrollers, efficiency would drop and the alert level around the tribe would weaken, allowing barbarians from other tribes to accidentally intrude and discover the location of the mirror tribe.

The solution to this problem seemed simple at first glance, but it was actually quite troublesome.

They needed to form an independent patrol team akin to the police in modern society, but they lacked manpower.

Agriculture needed to develop.

Fishing couldn't stop.

Coal was also an important resource, and defensive fortifications were a given.

They were truly short on people everywhere.

Considering this special situation to conserve manpower, Luog usually assigned patrolling duties to the warriors in the tribe.

Some would train while others patrolled, maintaining a cyclical model.

However, under this model, whenever they needed to go on an expedition, the patrol team s tasks could not be balanced.

But if they deliberately selected another batch of people to establish a patrol team to avoid this issue, it would be a bit wasteful at this point in their trib's development, especially when they were short on manpower everywhere.

You had to make a choice.

sacrifice a portion of labor to achieve more stable patrol efficiency and make the tribe safer or retain labor and allow the trib's warriors to continue balancing patrols considering they didn't need to go on expeditions often.

For the most part, they could manage.

It was a bit of dilemma, but not too urgent.

After all, they had just returned and the newly received 30 or so members had yet to be fully integrated.

In the short term, he didn't plan to make any new moves.

At the same time, regarding the exposure of the mirror trib's location, Lu Gi had somewhat mentally prepared himself.

Such a large tribe could not remain hidden forever without being discovered by anyone.

Previously, he had merely been dragging it out with the hope of hiding a little longer.

The exposure of their location was just a matter of time, which is why he'd been so eager to build walls and defensive structures to cope with this situation.

Now, it could only be said that the time had come, having just experienced a baptism of low temperatures at this time.

Every tribe was probably sending people out to search for food or new settlement points, which increased the chances and risks of exposing each other's locations.

Lu G believed that their tribe was definitely not the first before the scout returned to the tribe to report the situation.

Luog could not make further decisions and could only prepare the patrols around the tribe camp to respond to any changes.

At the same time, he did not forget to open his attribute panel to check the changes in various points as he had previously initiated a cultural project called surname system which allowed every member of the tribe with a formal name to contribute a bit of cultural points every day.

Essentially a self-sustaining system.

However, this self-sustaining project led to the system notifications in his mind ringing incessantly when luck was good, which was very annoying, you know, especially when Lu OG was suffering from a cold and feeling dizzy.

The constant ringing of the system notifications made his head ache terribly.

So, he tried to turn off those system notifications and it turned out that it could be done.

After that, he didn't he plan to turn it back on at most.

He would check it every two or 3 days or look at it every night before going to sleep.

Moreover, compared to the pain of accumulating points one by one, he preferred to check occasionally and then suddenly discover that he had earned a lot of points which brought him a sense of surprise just like now.

Chapter 59.

This is a good thing.

Looking at the obviously enriched new projects and various types of points in front of him, Lu G instinctively hummed a little tune.

It was probably thanks to the recent farming and the continuous discovery of garlic and cabbage that he finally gathered enough production points.

Without hesitation, he upgraded the farming project to level one, increasing development efficiency and yield by 10, which further boosted his confidence in the trib's future agricultural development.

At the same time, he had also earned quite a bit of military points, perhaps due to the diligent research efforts of the Armory Department.

A new project, weapon research, had appeared in his military section.

Weapon research level zero increases the success rate of military equipment research by five and efficiency by 10 without a doubt in this moment.

Although the equipment manufacturing project had already been triggered, it was still at level zero and Luo G perfectly discarded it.

With a click, he decisively upgraded weapon research to level one.

Then in a cheerful mood, he shifted his attention to the next project that might have progress, or rather the one he hoped would have progress.

The medical section, "Please, please, please.
