Chapter 53: Seeing the Light of Day Again
“We made it through, we made it through…”
Feeling the warmth of the sun on his body, Luo Ji felt like he had returned from another world.
After a brief moment of being in a daze, he suddenly started laughing wildly like a lunatic.
“Haha, hahahahaha!”
“God you son of a bitch!”
“I survived, I survived!!”
Nearly half a month of despair.
To hell with the low temperatures.
To hell with the infectious diseases.
To hell with the food crisis.
Who knew how much pressure he had been under for the past half month?
At this moment, Luo Ji was desperately venting the pressure and emotions that had built up in his heart.
The ecstasy of surviving a disaster made him completely lose his reason at this moment!
The entire Mirror Tribe was boiling.
The women embraced each other and wept.
All the men turned into lunatics, shouting excitedly one by one, and then learning from Luo Ji, they made obscene gestures at the sky, even though they still didn’t know what it meant.
As a tribe that had developed steadily before the low temperatures hit, almost achieving self-sufficiency, now with the weather warming up, the people of the Mirror Tribe quickly regained their proper productivity after a night’s rest.
In just a few days, they returned to a virtuous cycle…
As the weather had just warmed up, Luo Ji was not too careless.
He was still wrapped in a thick layer of animal hide, inspecting the work in various parts of the tribe.
Then he slowly walked to the medical department he had officially established just a few days ago.
Actually, Luo Ji had started working on medical development from the beginning and even paid great attention to it.
He had selected five people with intelligence caps reaching 3 stars very early on in the tribe to learn about various herbs with Zhao He.
Don’t think that people with intelligence caps of only 3 stars are not good.
In the entire tribe, besides Luo Ji himself, only Luo Jin and Zhao Pan had intelligence caps reaching 4 stars, a total of three people.
There were no 5 star caps at all.
Therefore, a 3 star level was already quite objective.
After all, the normal level for ordinary people was only 2 stars. 3 stars could already be called talented individuals.
But unfortunately, for Luo Ji, their tribe’s medical development had a fatal flaw.
It was that they didn’t know where to start.
He himself was not a medical student.
His medical knowledge was limited to common sense.
And asking Gao Su seemed to not yield clear answers.
Even if Gao Su rattled off a prescription, it would be useless for Luo Ji to go collect the herbs and treat illnesses himself.
How to collect them?
What did those herbs look like?
Where were they?
No, his brain hurts…
As a result, medical development could only rely on the people in their tribe figuring it out themselves.
There is a saying that goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.
Now, the medical department of their Mirror Tribe was stuck at that starting point.
And Luo Ji’s mood at the moment was probably one of utter desperation.
All in all, first give them a task, which is to research a method to treat the previous illness.
Then just let them research it themselves.
Fortunately, the five people in the medical department had all learned well from Zhao He before and recognized some herbs, so it wasn’t enough to make Luo Ji too desperate.
Of course, he couldn’t be optimistic either.
He felt that he urgently needed a high-quality talent with a 4 star cap and medical talent to help their tribe’s medical standards develop.
“It seems there’s news today?”
As night fell, looking at Luo Jin, who arrived shrouded in the night, a look of joy appeared on Luo Ji’s face.
Since the establishment of the Black Rock Tribe, the reconnaissance team had a new front-line outpost.
Using the Black Rock Tribe as a rest stop for travel and overnight stays, they could explore farther places every day.
Relatively, when there was no news, Luo Jin generally stayed overnight at the Black Rock Tribe and continued exploring the next day, unless Luo Ji ordered him to return.
And this time, Luo Ji didn’t call him back, but he came back himself.
That could only mean that their reconnaissance team’s mission had made new progress.
He wasn’t in a hurry to talk about important matters.
It was already dark.
No matter how fast they acted, they would have to wait until tomorrow.
There was no need to rush for this moment.
After dinner, Luo Jin unfolded the map he carried with him.
Luo Ji had already had several copies drawn from the same map.
The original one had always remained with Luo Jin. Compared to before, this map was much more complete.
Luo Jin quickly reached out and pointed.
“It’s here, southwest of the Black Rock Tribe.”
“It takes more than half a day’s journey.”
“At this location, there is a small tribe with a population of over 30.”
Hearing this, Luo Ji’s eyes immediately lit up.
A small tribe of over 30 people?
According to the current population of their Mirror Tribe, the most suitable prey for them were small tribes with a population of 20 to 30 people.
If the number was too large, it would be a bit difficult to digest.
Population and experience points delivered right to their doorstep, why would Luo Ji let them go?
It was just that the distance was a bit far.
According to Luo Jin, it would take more than half a day to get there from the Black Rock Tribe.
And it took nearly half a day to get from the Mirror Tribe to the Black Rock Tribe.
Doing a simple time calculation, starting from the Mirror Tribe, a one-way trip would take a whole day.
Even though the Mirror Tribe currently held an absolute advantage in military strength, they couldn’t just charge in recklessly.
They definitely needed to plan properly, after all, they also had to consider the issue of physical strength.
Rubbing his chin and pondering for a while, Luo Ji slowly spoke.
“All in all, first transfer troops to the Black Rock Tribe, then rest there for a night, and then set off for that small tribe early the next morning…”
Speaking of this, Luo Ji’s voice paused again, as if he realized something.
“That’s not right.”
“Even starting from the Black Rock Tribe, it will take more than half a day to get there.”
“The subsequent battle with that small tribe, even if we easily win due to our military advantage, we won’t have enough time to bring the population of that small tribe back to the Black Rock Tribe before dark…”
Luo Ji’s voice already carried a hint of hesitation as he realized this.
“That is to say, we’ll have to rest at that small tribe for a night?”
This matter was not as easy as it sounded.
Simply put, in this era, only by bringing the population back to one’s own territory was it considered truly annexing the other party.
But if they had to rest at that small tribe for a night, then during that night, no one could guarantee whether the people of that small tribe would cause any trouble.
Moreover, this night’s rest was unavoidable,
because with these people, they absolutely couldn’t rush back to the Black Rock Tribe overnight.
They would have to wait until dawn.
“In that case, to be safe, we’ll have to bring more people over…”
Warriors would have to be left behind at both the Mirror Tribe and the Black Rock Tribe to protect the tribes’ safety.
It was impossible to send everyone out.
Under this premise, Luo Ji would have to bring more people to annex other tribes.
At this moment, the disadvantage of their tribe having insufficient warrior numbers began to show.
