Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

40: Chapter 40: Contradiction [Continue to ask for follow-up!] 40: Chapter 40: Contradiction [Continue to ask for follow-up!] “Taking such great risks to help you worthless lot deal with the monster, you are neither grateful nor ashamed to show such expressions.

Do you really think I have no temper?”

Li Hu’s words were not spoken calmly.

His aura was agitated, his face furious, as he stared at the crowd, showing extreme displeasure, clearly genuinely angry.

However, the word “worthless” from his mouth instantly ignited the dissatisfaction that the crowd had been suppressing for many days.

Shi Qing had already taken two steps forward, ready to retort, but was held back by Luo Ming in front of him.

Looking at Luo Ming’s slightly pleading eyes, Shi Qing gritted his teeth and finally held back without speaking.

But Li Hu’s emotions had not yet calmed.

Especially seeing Shi Qing’s movement, how could he not know that this person was planning to refute him?

Luo Ming’s obstruction did not make him relent; instead, he spoke more harshly:

“What, calling you worthless, and you’re not convinced?

Do you believe that if the two of us leave, and that Wood Puppet Monster comes, you worthless lot combined wouldn’t be its match?”

Shi Qing could endure, but the other four camp leaders could not.

Hong Gang, Huang Yong, Lu He, and Chen Ying all stood up.

But just as they were about to speak, Yang Ning, who had been watching coldly, spoke up.

“Enough, Hu Zi, stop talking!”

Although he took the initiative to interrupt Li Hu and prevent a clash between the two groups, Yang Ning also showed a strong displeasure on his face when looking at the crowd.

“Leader Luo, it was you who proactively asked us to help before, and all of you agreed to fully cooperate.

You’ve all seen with your own eyes how formidable that Wood Puppet Monster is.

I won’t say more.

If you really don’t need our help now, just say it, and Li Hu and I will leave at once!”

Hearing Yang Ning’s words, Luo Ming’s heart immediately fell into turmoil.

Not just him, even the other four camp leaders, who had already decided to withdraw, including Shi Qing, who suffered the most losses, all showed hesitant expressions.

Anger is one thing, but Yang Ning’s words realistically slapped them in the face.

Without these two people, they truly weren’t a match for the Wood Puppet Monster.

If Yang and Li were to leave, given the killing nature of the Wood Puppet Monster, the six camps would no doubt face destruction in the end.

“Brother, no matter what you say, they won’t understand.

Kind words can’t persuade a dying ghost.

Let these fools fend for themselves, let’s go back!”

“Honorable sirs, please calm your anger.”

Seeing Li Hu pulling Yang Ning to leave, Luo Ming hurriedly stepped forward, bowing in apology, speaking self-deprecatingly: “In recent days, our camps have lost many Logging Realm fighters, the leaders are anxious, and I ask for your understanding, honorable sirs.”

Luo Ming was helpless too.

The camps around Redwood Ridge were indeed too weak.

In addition, being cut off from the outside world, if Yang and Li leave, they would truly be isolated with no assistance, and when the Deceitful Monster comes, no one could stop it.

Seeing that Yang and Li’s expressions were not as resolute as before, Luo Ming continued:

“Forgive my bluntness, but carrying on like this is not a solution.

In the past half month, the combined four camps have lost twenty-nine Logging Realm fighters.

It’s no secret, and I won’t fear your laughter, but apart from Rogel Camp, which is in better condition, everyone in the other five camps relies on those Logging Realm fighters to survive.

If they all fall here, even if their respective camp members aren’t killed by the Deceitful Monster, they might starve or freeze to death.”

Yang Ning once again signaled Li Hu, who wanted to speak, to hold his tongue.

After briefly pondering, he spoke in a somber tone: “I understand your difficulties, but I must clearly tell you, the speed at which the Deceitful Monster gains strength is hard for you to imagine.

Right now, you’re completely no match for it, and it’s hard to predict how strong it will become if we delay any longer.”

Pausing here, he looked up to meet Luo Ming’s eyes, continuing earnestly:

“Believe me, to eliminate that Wood Puppet Monster, sacrificing a small number of people is entirely worth it!”

Li Hu couldn’t hold back either, speaking with a cold smile:

“Fools, sometimes necessary sacrifices are unavoidable.
