After Ye Qiong thought about it for a while, he decided to take Daidai with him to check out the situation. The week-long rainy weather had a lot of negative impacts on the development of the tribe.

The clay soil collected earlier is still soaked in water. Many tribesmen are infected with wind and cold due to the change of seasons and large temperature difference. Therefore, the few people in the tribe who play the role of doctors are very busy these days. .

When the seasons change, it is also a time when plagues are prone to occur. Although the human body on Snow Planet is very strong, viruses are complementary to living things. Ye Qiong, who has received modern education, is very clear about some things in this season. , we must be careful to avoid some unsolvable catastrophic events.

In addition to the two temporary bases, we have to go to the coal mine base and the dense forest.

So Ye Qiong will be busy these days.

After calling Daidai out of their own home, Ye Qiong rode Daidai directly to the place where supplies were stored in the tribe, thinking of bringing some necessities to the soldiers there.

After not returning to the tribe for so many days, it is estimated that the supplies and food they brought there last time are almost exhausted. Food can be obtained through hunting during this season, but for supplies, they need to be supplied from the tribe.

After all, even if they collect every day and night around the base, they can't get much supplies. For things like grease lamps, they can only bring them directly from the tribe.

After picking out some biological necessities and taking them with him, Ye Qiong took Daidai out of the tribe.

The first direction is to the north, which is the base on the high mountain top over there, and to the base in the canyon in the south. Ye Qiong feels that the soldiers there will face less resistance, so he plans to go to the northern base first, and then go around to Canyon base to the south.

Running along the Dinglong Mountains, as time went by, the surrounding temperature began to rise.

The flowers and plants on the earth have sufficient water sources at their roots. Now that they are illuminated by the star's light, they are growing gratifyingly...

Basically, it looks the same every day. In less than a week, it will grow to the level of the thighs and knees, and then it will feel like a grassland.

Under a clear sky, the towering Dinglong Mountains still give people a very strong sense of oppression.

Ye Qiong and Daidai were not very fast. It had just started to clear up today, so the ground was still very soft and wet. It was uncomfortable for Daidai's bear paws to step on the ground.

Only after a day or two, some of the water on the ground will evaporate and be absorbed by the roots of the flowers and plants will the ground harden.

If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. Only super tribes with a population of millions on Snow Planet will have the concept of roads.

As for the small and medium-sized tribes that migrate all year round, they have no concept of roads. They are basically opening up wasteland and expanding the land all the time, looking for suitable areas, collecting supplies and hunting monsters.

The thirty-kilometer journey, if it were at normal speed, could be completed in more than half an hour, but now due to the soft and wet ground, it took nearly two hours to reach the destination.

I could see the hillside from a distance, about 500 meters high. There was no tall vegetation covering it, so a tall wooden building appeared in front of Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong was pleasantly surprised, because the soldiers didn't seem to be idle when it rained. A soldier in charge of the guard discovered Ye Qiong immediately.

After all, the view from above was better and wider, so after Ye Qiong saw the small wooden building, the middle-aged soldier quickly saw Ye Qiong.

Even though I saw it, the distance was still nearly a kilometer and still had to be climbed.

After starting to go uphill, my speed increased instead of decreasing.

The bottom of the mountain is full of rocks, so no matter how much it rains, as long as the weather is clear, it will not take long to return to the original state. With a solid ground, the dull soles of the feet will finally feel less uncomfortable.

After running for a while, even the mud on the soles of my feet slowly began to fall off.

After arriving in front of the small wooden building, Ye Qiong saw three soldiers standing in front of the wooden building. It seemed that they had been waiting for Ye Qiong for a while.

"Where are the others?" Ye Qiong looked around and asked aloud.

"We are looking for wood nearby. We should not be back until noon." The middle-aged soldier who was responsible for standing guard just now said.

Ye Qiong nodded, took out half of the supplies in the bag he was carrying, and handed them to the three soldiers in front.

Then he looked up at the small wooden building that now had some size, and nodded with satisfaction.

These veterans are still very capable and hard-working. Except for the thunderstorms in the first few days, they really couldn't go out. In the remaining days, the veterans went out to collect supplies and hunt. .

At this moment, there is a row of dried meat hanging on the side of the wooden building. It seems that it has been a bit damp in the past few days, so it must be hung out to bask in the sun. Otherwise, eating it will easily cause diarrhea.

The entire small wooden building is still a frame, and the boards have not been put on. The top is capped, using a tree leaf, a leaf that is somewhat similar to a banana leaf. The normal length is about 1.5 meters, and the width is 5. Ten centimeters is very good for setting up camp in a short time.

But it won’t last long, because the leaves will dry. After they dry up, they will curl up and become very small, so they cannot block the wind and rain. However, because they are very tough, after drying, you can make some utensils. , used to hold things, and if you put meat in it, it has very good preservative properties.

The roof has been covered with leaves and tied up with hemp rope. It looks quite strong. Years of wild hunting experience have made the soldiers do things very seriously, so there is definitely no such thing as cutting corners.

After all, after this base is built, it is also for their own use. If one is accidentally blown away during a thunderstorm, the end will be very miserable, and it is likely that one's life will be involved.

Ye Qiong didn't have time to wait for the other soldiers to come back. After knowing that the base here was safe, Ye Qiong handed over the supplies and walked around the small wooden building twice before saying goodbye to the three middle-aged soldiers. Go south.

If you go directly from the northern base to the southern base, you have to climb over two mountains or go around it.

If we go around, the distance will be very long, and the speed will be much slower on the wet and soft ground.

After identifying the direction, Ye Qiong decided to climb directly over the mountain. The ground on the mountain was harder, so he could run faster.

Of course……

It’s also more tiring! After all, it was a high mountain. When Daidai and Ye Qiong climbed to the top of the first mountain, they stopped immediately.
