Zhong Changsheng, the leader of the Red Eagle tribe, sat silently, while a group of tribesmen standing behind him were whispering and even having a small argument. Zhang Hu has already explained his purpose of coming and some conditions of Chuanhu Base.
Zhang Hu sat alone opposite him, with his back straight. He used to be a little timid when seeing other tribal leaders, but now he didn't feel timid at all.
"You don't believe me?" Zhang Hu stared at Zhong Changsheng and said.
Zhong Changsheng thought about the wording for a while before saying cautiously: "It concerns the entire tribe, how can we simply say whether we believe it or not?"
The Red Eagle Tribe only has a few dozen hunters and ten rifles, and Zhang Hu and the others are well-equipped. Even if they attack the Red Eagle Tribe head-on, it will be a piece of cake. So Zhong Changsheng believed most of Zhang Hu's words.
Because strength is the simplest basis for judgment, there is no need for them to go around in circles and engage in intrigues.
"So you still have questions? Tell me, and I will answer it for you." Zhang Hu had hundreds of elite soldiers outside, and he pretended to be kind in his heart, so he was full of confidence.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth." Zhong Changsheng said, "You are also from the tribe. You should know that the people in the city look down on our tribe and are only willing to trade with a few big tribes. Why did Chuanhu Base change suddenly? ?”
"Because the commander of the Chuanhu base is not a city lord who is greedy for pleasure!" Zhang Hu said solemnly, "The commander of the base is determined to revive human civilization, not to linger and pursue pleasure!"
"Commander Shi is still outside, fighting on the front line to ensure that the base has sufficient raw materials!"
Zhong Changsheng added: "Even if Commander Shi wants to revive human civilization, how many years can he control the base? What will we do when he steps down? Once we move there, we can't come back!"
Zhang Hu smiled disdainfully and said, "I didn't mention it just now. Commander Shi is only 22 years old! He's younger than me! With his prestige, I can't see the day he steps down!"
"So young!" There was a sudden discussion. In the impression passed down by the tribesmen, the leaders of these city people were called city lords, and they were all old men with big bellies and gray hair.
"So, for such a long journey, we have to spend three nights in the wild. How do you ensure our safety on the road?"
"Of course I will ensure your safety!" Zhang Hu perked up and knew that it was almost done!
"You know the Giant Tree Tribe, right? It's 1 day's journey from here. The Giant Tree Tribe is 1 day's journey from the Hongyan Outpost. It's 1 day's journey from the Red Rock Outpost to the Giant Rock Tribe. It's 2 days' journey from the Giant Tree Tribe to Chuanhu Base."
Zhang Hu took out a simple map, pointed at it and said, "Although the total journey is one day longer, we actually only spent one night in the wild."
Seeing Zhong Changsheng's expression relaxed, Zhang Hu added: "Furthermore, there are field teams traveling between Hongyan Outpost and Chuanhu Base every day. The dangers on the road from Hongyan to Chuanhu have almost been eliminated." We’re going to camp in the wilderness, and there’s actually a simple campsite.”
When Zhong Changsheng saw that Zhang Hu had indeed made a comprehensive plan, he stood up and said, "First of all, thank you very much for the invitation, and secondly, I'm sorry for keeping you out."
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand, I understand." Zhang Hu laughed and said.
Zhong Changsheng said slightly apologetically: "But we still need to discuss it. This is a major matter, and I can't just talk about it."
"Okay! I'll wait outside for news from you!" Zhang Hu said immediately.
Zhang Hu faced the rising sun and felt that today would be a good day.
"Captain, what did they say?" It was not easy for Zhang Shan and others to wait. Zhang Hu went in and talked for more than an hour.
"Okay, one hour at most." Zhang Hu said confidently.
Sure enough, in only half an hour, Zhong Changsheng led a group of people out, and he said: "Sorry for the long wait, we have decided to accept your invitation. Do you want to leave tomorrow or today?"
Zhong Changsheng is not a Moji person. Zhang Hu has made it clear from the beginning that everyone who enters the base will break up their arrangements. He is no longer a tribal leader who sticks to his word. But for the benefit of everyone in the tribe, he decided to give up his power.
Zhang Hu looked at the time and said, "How long do you need to prepare? If we can make it in time to set off today, we can still reach the Giant Tree Tribe."
"We will be ready in half an hour." Zhong Changsheng said.
Zhong Changsheng has actually asked people to pack things. The most important thing for the tribe is drinking water, which has been distributed. Apart from this camp and some dry food, there is nothing else of value.
"Okay, then we'll set off in half an hour." Zhang Hu shouted to the team members behind him, and then said to Zhong Changsheng: "Can you do me a favor and arrange for a few people to stay with me in the camp?"
Seeing Zhong Changsheng's puzzled expression, Zhang Hu explained: "Don't we have to invite other tribes for this mission, so your tribe camp cannot be abandoned yet. I plan to leave a small team here to guard it."
"After we safely deliver you to the Giant Tree Tribe, we will return and then go to other tribes. This camp will also be operated as a transit station in the future. We are not very familiar with this place, so I hope you can arrange for a few people to follow us. It is considered a temporary joining of the field mission. When I return, I will apply with the base and those who are qualified will directly join the field team!"
"That's no problem." Zhong Changsheng agreed immediately. If he didn't have to move with the tribe, he would have stayed and joined the field team directly.
But Zhong Changsheng had a good idea: "But, you will only escort us to the Giant Tree Tribe? Do we have to walk the rest of the journey by ourselves?"
Zhang Hu said with a smile: "Of course not, I have just contacted the Hongyan Outpost, and one of their hundred-man teams has already set off. When you arrive, they will be waiting, and they will escort you all the way to the base. "
"Ah? How did you get in touch?" Zhong Changsheng said in surprise.
Zhang Hu pointed to the helmet on his head and said with a smile: "Damn it, come on, give yours to Leader Zhong to try on." Zhang Hu said and took off the communicator from the head of a squad leader.
Zhang Hu taught Zhong Changsheng step by step how to use communications. When Zhong Changsheng saw the picture of the Hongyan Outpost, he was so surprised that he was almost speechless. Then they linked up with the team sent from the Hongyan Outpost, and they were seen on the camera moving quickly on the mountain road.
Zhang Hu simply contacted Wu Han directly and briefly reported on the progress and his follow-up arrangements.
Wu Han smiled and welcomed Zhong Changsheng: "Welcome to join! I will show you the situation of our base."
Zhong Changsheng expressed his gratitude excitedly. When the base was bustling with activity and the tribe's advanced environment was so different, he knew he had made the wisest decision.
