Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

130: Chapter 114: New House, New Rules, New Starting Point [Four-in-One Mega Chapter] 130: Chapter 114: New House, New Rules, New Starting Point [Four-in-One Mega Chapter] In fact, the moment the rodent swarm appeared on the north slope of the mountain wall.

The significance of the new dwelling was no longer as great as before.

Six months of preparation, taking nearly seven months in total; a massive amount of Golden Frost Wood; iron ore regardless of cost, almost everyone in the camp involved…

If so much manpower and material were invested solely to improve living conditions, then Xia Hong was just being irrational.

The greatest purpose of the new dwelling, built at such a high price, was to defend against the Cold Beasts constantly expanding out of Redwood Ridge.

According to the original design of the wooden house, with six-meter-thick Golden Frost Wood walls, reinforced at key points with iron fittings, even when faced with Cold Beasts like Snow Mane with powerful impact, there wouldn’t be any risk of collapse unless a hundred charged at once.

The Cold Beasts expanding from Redwood Ridge currently include Snow Mane, Frost Wolf, and Golden Sheep, which means once the wooden house is built, they can protect themselves even if the Cold Beasts discover them during the day by hiding inside the wooden house.

If discovered at night, they can even use the house’s defenses to hunt the attacking Cold Beasts.

Improving living conditions is merely incidental; after all, compared to safety, comfort is not considered a significant need at all.

Unfortunately, with the arrival of the rodent swarm, Xia Hong’s plans were all for nothing.

With the rodents’ abnormal tunneling ability, the large swarm on the north slope of the mountain wall, Xia Hong even has doubts whether this wooden house, or even a house made purely of iron, can stop them.

Before getting rid of that swarm of rodents, the security guarantee brought by the new wooden house is certainly minimal, and Xia Hong is not the only one who understands this, Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the other five also know.

……

The second night, in the temporary wooden house.

Just after Xia Hong finished eating Cold Beast Meat, feeling the long-awaited immense heat within his body, his eyes immediately showed a joyful expression as he quickly stood up and started practicing long boxing.

Xia Hong’s basic strength of over twenty thousand pounds, combined with his mastery of the long boxing routine, can display a force of up to thirty percent more, which is over twenty-six thousand pounds.

Such terrifying strength accompanied the fist pouring out crazily, with explosive sounds ringing continuously, causing the outer walls of the wooden house to tremble and the bonfire inside to crackle fiercely.

Today is the last day of the completion of the new residence, and there’s a lot to do.

Almost all the adults in the camp went to help, leaving only about a hundred young children in the temporary wooden house.

The harsh environment made these children understand the importance of strength early on.

Seeing Xia Hong’s imposing boxing now, their eyes were full of admiration and awe.

Some of the braver ones even imitated Xia Hong’s moves and began practicing earnestly.

“No wonder he’s the leader, even the sound of his punches is louder than others.”

“Nonsense, the leader is the strongest in our Great Xia.”

“My father is in the Hunting Team, and he said the leader alone can hunt Cold Beasts.

I will definitely become as strong as the leader in the future.”

“Luo An, stop bragging.

You’re not even six yet and can’t even swallow big chunks of Cold Beast Meat, yet you want to become as strong as the leader, hahaha…”

“Hahaha, indeed, Luo An boasts too much.”

“Zou Ping, you also got stuffed eating Cold Beast Meat yesterday, don’t think I don’t know.

Just wait, once I can eat big chunks of Cold Beast Meat, I will definitely be stronger than you.”

“Hmph, fine, then let’s see who’s stronger!”

…

The whispers of the children inside the house, though lowered, could not escape Xia Hong’s ears as he was practicing his punches, and hearing their childish arguments, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.

If he remembered correctly, among the two arguing, Luo An is Luo Yuan’s son, and Zou Ping is Zou Yuankai’s son, both are not yet six years old.

Nowadays, children in the camp are not the same as before.
