"Human or madman?"

This is a very serious issue. After all, for the tribe, if it is a human being, then it must find a way to win over it.

But if it is a madman, this distance now threatens the safety of the central tribe, so it is necessary to gather the strength of the tribe to remove them as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will not only be a great threat to the canyon base, but the entire tribe will also have to mobilize troops to guard against the attacks of madmen while dealing with the eyeless monsters on the east side.

The current Ye Qiong tribe is no longer afraid of small-scale attacks by beasts, but the madmen are different. They are wise and are afraid of a surprise attack at night or when a snowstorm approaches.

If caught off guard, the tribe's losses will be very painful.

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of being noticed by thieves. It is very difficult for a tribe to be noticed by a madman.

Kuang Beili looked to the northwest and said: "It's not too clear now. We have just arrived and are preparing to arrange for two soldiers to go over and investigate first. The specific situation is not yet clear."

Ye Qiong nodded: "Well, you guys take a rest for a while. I'll go over and take a look. Over there?"

As Ye Qiong spoke, he pointed in the direction where Kuang Beili was looking just now.

Kuang Beili also nodded: "Would you like a few soldiers to join us?"

"No, bring me a demon wolf." Ye Qiong shook his head.

Daidai was too big, so it was quite difficult to complete this kind of reconnaissance mission. In the past, there were only Ye Qiong and Daidai in the wild, and there was no other way.

If Ye Qiong wanted to investigate, he would have to go to a higher place and surround him. Otherwise, he would be able to see Dudu from a few kilometers away.

His dull body type has nowhere to hide on the plains in winter. Only in some hills and mountains can he hide his huge body by relying on the terrain.

Soon, Kuang Beili personally led the largest snow-covered demon wolf over.

Ye Qiong patted Daidai's head, jumped off Daidai's back, rode on the Snow Demon Wolf and galloped towards the northwest.

He stared blankly at Ye Qiong's leaving figure, then looked at Kuang Beili and the soldiers here, then lay down on the ground, waiting honestly for Ye Qiong's return or summons.

Ye Qiong rode the Snow Demon Wolf and galloped all the way. He quickly arrived at the edge of the Northwest Wind Canyon and began to move forward along the canyon.

After bypassing a somewhat curved slope, Ye Qiong saw the figures in the distance.

After riding the Snow Demon Wolf to find a hidden angle, Ye Qiong asked the Snow Demon Wolf beneath him to slow down.

Ye Qiong and the Snow Demon Wolf are getting closer and closer to those figures.

Now for Ye Qiong, the first thing to do is to confirm whether the other party is a human or a madman.

If it were a human being, there would definitely be a sentry post when going out in winter, but because of the snow and scavengers, the general warning area would not be too large.

After all, they are sentinels, and there is no limit to the number of people. For a small tribe with a few hundred people, it is good to have more than 30 warriors who go out in winter.

The number of sentries responsible for alerting can only be controlled to about five. The main purpose is to warn the beasts in advance. If they run too far, they will encounter scavengers and disappear.

Ye Qiong is not worried that he will be discovered by the sentry. If there is a sentry, it will be a human being.

Madmen will not be on guard in winter, and the Madman King himself is too lazy to arrange it. After all, even with the intelligence of an ordinary madman, he cannot take on the task of guarding.

After walking forward for about a hundred meters, I finally got a clearer view.

What surprised Ye Qiong was that there were quite a few people here, it looked like there were hundreds of them.

If it was a madman, it would be really troublesome. Ye Qiong continued to observe.

The scales in my heart are slowly tilting towards humans.

Ye Qiong saw the smoke...

When Ye Qiong saw some children and old people, he immediately concluded that these people in front of him were human beings.

There are no children or old people in the ranks of madmen.

After all, madmen are normal human beings who develop genetic mutations after being fed to their own kind after being extremely hungry.

After the brain is damaged by substances such as prions, the body will slowly begin to mutate.

In the early days, when a tribe ran out of food, it was natural that children, women, and the elderly, these inherently weaker groups, became food while hunting each other.

Therefore, the vast majority of madmen have male physiques. Although there are also madmen with female physiques, they are very rare and rare.

Human beings on Snow Star have a somewhat imbalanced male-female ratio. After evolving into madmen, this imbalanced ratio directly expands exponentially.

After continuing to observe for a while, I still didn't see any sign of the madman, nor did I smell the special smell of the madman.

Ye Qiong looked at the sky, wondering whether he should go back now or go straight down to see what was going on with these humans.

In Ye Qiong's heart, he actually made a guess. After all, he had just seen that there were many wounded people walking with a limp among these humans.

In winter, this kind of scene can be either attacked by a tide of beasts or attacked by a crowd of madmen.

No matter what the situation is, it is really not easy for them to escape, but the following days are the most difficult for them.

If a tribe is unable to resist the tide of beasts or mad people, it can only escape as quickly as possible, and don't expect to be able to carry much supplies and food.

In the long cold winter of eighteen months, even if we are not attacked by beasts and crazy crowds in winter, supplies and food may not be enough...

Tribes like this that are driven out of their habitats in winter often end up miserable.

If you are lucky, the women and they bring more supplies and food temporarily, and you may have a chance to join other tribes.

The vast majority of them continued to hunt scavengers in winter. After the casualties of the warriors were almost gone, the tribes began to gradually reduce their numbers after the supplies and food were almost consumed, until...

Become a new madman.

Tragic ending.

What is even more tragic is that the people in these tribes actually already know what their ending will be, but they cannot avoid it. Waiting for this ending in winter is the greatest torture to human beings.

They can only pray for a miracle, but they know very well in their hearts that such a miracle is too unlikely to happen...
