Chapter 95, Winter Snow
The search team searched for a week in a row. Although they could not see the horses directly, they still found some clues.
By identifying the animal feces they brought back, Ning Yuan found sheep manure, cow manure, horse manure and wolf manure.
Having horse manure means there is a wild horse herd here, but it takes constant efforts to find them, and in addition to this, it also requires some luck.
After all, the wild horses will not stay in one place and remain unmoved. They are wanderers on the prairie. Wherever there are abundant water plants, their footprints may appear.
If it were in other games, game developers might fix the Mustangs in one place and let them eat grass quietly there.
But barbarism and civilization are more like a real world, so Ning Yuan knew that these things were unhurried. If he wanted to find a wild horse herd, he had to have enough patience.
Although the wild horses have not been found yet, Ning Yuan can make some preparations in advance.
Ningyuan drew 1,000 human soldiers from the construction army, five hundred people were responsible for hunting in the forest, and five hundred people were responsible for harvesting grass on the grassland.
Iron Horse City is more than 100 kilometers away from Condor Heroes City, and is separated by a dense primeval forest. It takes at least five or six days to transport supplies from Condor Heroes City to Iron Horse City, and it takes at least ten days to travel back and forth.
A lot of things can happen in ten days, so if Tiema City wants to maintain it for a long time, it must be self-sufficiency.
Iron Horse City is next to the primeval forest and prairie. Because the plant resources here are very rich, the density of herbivores is also very high. For humans, there is no shortage of food here, but if you want to obtain these foods, it depends on Ning Yuan and others.
As the wooden houses were built within the wooden walls, Ning Yuan finally had more people under his hands, so he extended his clutches to the flocks of sheep on the grassland.
The reason why we chose the flock was mainly because the sheep were small and could not pose any threat to the Condor Warriors. As long as they had enough manpower and had good encirclement, they could easily eat a wild flock with thousands of sheep.
And the cattle herds are no longer possible. These bisons are very fierce in temperament. It is really terrible to go crazy with a large lattice weighing more than a ton.
The wooden arrows shot by the elf archers could not seriously damage them at all, so in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Ning Yuan chose to give up unless it was a small herd of dozens of cattle.
In this way, Ning Yuan and his people repeated the ordinary life of going out to hunt at sunrise and going home at sunset every day.
As the days passed, the iron horse city was full of mutton treated with salt, and several fences in the city were filled with wild cattle and sheep they had caught.
Ning Yuan knew the harm of fishing in a dry pond, so he would rather endure the smell of the stinky camp every day and raise these cattle and sheep. After all, wild cattle and sheep will be killed sooner or later, so he must prepare for the future.
On June 20, the first year of the Savage, the Condor Heroes ushered in the first snow in the game. Looking at the heavy snow flying all over the sky, Ning Yuan knew that this winter would be very difficult. Some tribes that did not have enough food and dry firewood would probably lose a lot of their tribe members.
I don’t know how the Condor Heroes City is now, but it is backed by Wushi Mountain and there are many carbon kilns, so the people there should be much more comfortable living than the Tiema City.
Ning Yuan was wearing a thick animal leather jacket, sitting around the stove with Black Eagle and others, and from time to time, adding a piece of dry firewood to the fire pond in the house.
"Ahem."
Because he was too close to the firewood when adding firewood, Ning Yuan was choked and coughed.
Alas, it was such a mistake. I would have brought a few charcoal-burning craftsmen over there if I had known it.
Ning Yuan didn't expect the snow to fall so early, and he had always thought that charcoal was made of wood, and the heat released by both should be similar after burning, but he regretted it now.
In fact, he was right. The heat released by the combustion of wood and charcoal is indeed similar, but he ignored the burning of wood that produces blazing flames and smoke.
It would be fine if it was outdoors, but it would be a bit of a pain indoors. So the people in Tiema City could only burn wood in the wooden house while opening the windows to exhaust smoke, otherwise there would be no one in the wooden house.
The heavy snow all over the sky has already dyed the sky silvery white, covering the earth with a white gauze. Due to the heavy snow, everything is silent. Whether humans or animals, they hide in their warm nests to avoid the severe cold.
At this time, Ning Yuan was wearing a thick animal leather jacket and still felt a little cold while roasting the fire, so let alone those unprepared people.
"It's such a sin. I don't know if the person who was frozen to death will be counted on me in the final settlement."
Through the open window, Ning Yuan looked at the white sky while observing silently for the unlucky guy today.
The plane where Ningyuan is located is obviously in the north, and it is winter now.
But at this time, not all the planes of the player lords are in winter. Many of the planes of the player lords are still very warm at this time, so they did not stop the war, so someone unfortunately became victims.
Today, Ningyuan happened to welcome such an unlucky guy here.
When Baili Hong heard that his opponent was Ning Yuan, he was ready to go to Lake Victoria for a three-day and two-night trip, but when he was teleported to Ning Yuan's plane with his subordinates, the heavy snow flying in the sky made him tremble all over.
"Damn it, it's so deadly. Hurry up, you guys hurry up and take people to camp. You guys take people to pick up some dry branches. The speed should be fast, GO, GO, GO."
Looking at the white sky above his head, Baili Hong was immediately indifferent to thinking about the three-day and two-night trip. He quickly arranged for his soldiers to take action.
Although the weather is very cold and the clothes they wear are very thin, it is daytime and they can still tolerate the temperature at this time.
Baili Hong was most worried about at night. Once it was night, the temperature would drop even lower. If there was no way to keep warm, then someone would probably be frozen to death.
So Baili Hong’s biggest wish now is to collect enough dry firewood as soon as possible, then light a bonfire, and strive to spend the next two nights safely.
As for whether Ning Yuan would bring people to attack him, he no longer cared about these things. As long as he could not be frozen to death, he would do whatever he wanted.
So, will Ning Yuan take people to attack Baili Hong?
Of course the answer is no.
It's snowy and ice, and only the genius knows where the invaders will come. As long as they don't get close to the camp, Ning Yuan is too lazy to care about what they are doing at this moment.
In ancient China, there was a saying that Liu La did not fight, which means that in the weather of the Great Heat and the Great Cold, it is best for both sides to not send troops to fight, because in such weather, soldiers on both sides will easily suffer from non-combat reductions.
Of course, there were some great generals in ancient times who did not abide by this agreement, but such people were only a few after all, and most of them still silently abide by this unspoken rule, because people know that humans are fragile and insignificant in front of nature.
As a modern person, Ning Yuan is definitely not an existence who can stick to the rules. As long as he has enough benefits, he will send troops without hesitation even in the coldest weather.
But when the interests do not reach his psychological price, he will definitely not do such useless work, especially this is the first winter he spent here.
