Chapter 95, Winter Snow

The search team searched for a week, and although they were not able to see the horses directly, they did find some clues.

By identifying the animal dung they had brought back, Ning Yuan found sheep dung, cow dung, horse dung, and wolf dung.

The presence of horse manure means that there are herds of wild horses, but it takes a lot of effort and a certain amount of luck to find them.

After all, wild horses don't stay in one place, they are wanderers on the prairie, and where there are abundant aquatic plants, their footprints may appear.

In other games, the game developer might pin a herd of wild horses in one place and let them graze quietly.

But barbarism and civilization are more like a real world, so Ning Yuan knows that these things are not in a hurry, and if he wants to find the wild horse herd, he must have enough patience.

Although he hadn't found the wild horse herd yet, Ning Yuan could make some preparations in advance.

Ning Yuan dispatched a thousand Terran warriors from the construction army, 500 of whom were responsible for hunting in the forest, and 500 of whom were responsible for harvesting pasture grass on the grassland.

Iron Horse City is more than a hundred kilometers away from Condor City, separated by dense primeval forests, and it takes at least five or six days to transport supplies from Condor City to Iron Horse City, and it takes at least ten days to go back and forth.

A lot can happen in ten days, so Iron Horse City must be self-sufficient if it wants to survive in the long term.

Iron Horse City is close to the primeval forest and the prairie, because the plant resources here are very rich, so the density of herbivores is also very large, for humans, there is no shortage of food here, but if you want to get these food, you have to rely on Ning Yuan's means.

With the completion of the wooden houses inside the wooden wall, Ning Yuan finally had more manpower under his hands to use, so he extended his clutches to those sheep on the grassland.

The main reason for choosing the sheep is that the sheep are relatively small and cannot pose any threat to the Condor warriors, as long as they are well manned and outflanked, they can easily eat a wild flock of thousands of sheep.

The herd, on the other hand, is not good, these bison are very ferocious, and it is terrible to go crazy with a large body that weighs a ton.

And the wooden arrows shot by the elven archers couldn't hit them hard at all, so in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, unless it was a small herd of dozens of cows, Ning Yuan would choose to give up.

In this way, Ning Yuan took people to repeat the ordinary life of going out hunting at sunrise and returning home at sunset every day.

As the days passed, the Iron Horse City was full of salt-treated mutton, and several fences in the city were filled with wild cattle and sheep that had been caught.

Ning Yuan knows the harm of fishing while drying up, so he would rather endure the stinking smell in the camp every day, but also raise these cattle and sheep, after all, the wild cattle and sheep will be killed sooner or later, so he must take precautions.

On June 20 of the first year of barbarism, the Condor Leader ushered in the first snow in the game, looking at the goose feather snow flying all over the sky, Ning Yuan knew that this winter was probably very difficult, and some tribes that did not have enough food and dry firewood were afraid to lose a lot of people.

I don't know what happened to Condor City now, but it is backed by Wushi Mountain, and there are a lot of carbon kilns, so the people there should be much more comfortable than here in Iron Horse City.

Ning Yuan wore a thick animal skin coat, sat around the fire with Black Eagle and the others, and added a piece of dry wood to the fire pit in the house from time to time.

"Ahem, ahem."

Because he was too close to the fire pond when adding firewood, Ning Yuan was choked and coughed.

Hey, what a mistake, I knew that I had brought a few charcoal burners over.

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 after the two burned should be about the same, but he regretted it now.

In fact, he was right, the heat released by the burning of wood and charcoal is indeed about the same, but he ignores the fact that burning wood produces raging flames and smoke.

If it's fine outside, it's a bit of a sin indoors, so the people in Iron Horse City can only burn wood in the wooden house while opening the windows to exhaust smoke outside, otherwise there will be no one in the wooden house at all.

The snow had already dyed the sky silvery white, covering the earth with a white veil, and everything was silent due to the snow, and both people and animals took refuge in their warm nests to escape the cold.

At this time, Ning Yuan was wearing a thick animal skin coat and still felt a trace of coldness when he was roasting on the fire, so let alone those who were unprepared.

"It's really a sin, and I don't know if the person who was frozen to death will be counted on my head when the final settlement is settled."

Through the open window, Ning Yuan looked at the white sky while mourning in silence for this unlucky guy today.

The plane where Ning Yuan is located is obviously the climate of the north, and it is already winter.

But at this time, not all player lords' planes are cold winter, and there are many player lords' planes that are still very warm at this time, so they have not stopped the pace of war, so some people have unfortunately become victims.

Today, Ningyuan happened to usher in such an unlucky guy here.

When Bai Lihong heard that his opponent was Ning Yuan, he was already ready to go to Victoria Lake for a three-day and two-night trip, but when he was teleported to Ning Yuan's plane with his subordinates, the goose feathers and heavy snow flying in the sky directly made him tremble.

"I'm rubbing, it's going to be terrible, quick, a few of you hurry up and take someone to camp, a few of you take someone to pick up some dry branches, fast, GO, GO, GO."

Looking at the white sky overhead, Baili Hong suddenly had no mood to think about the three-day and two-night journey, and he quickly arranged for his soldiers to act.

Although the weather is very cold and the clothes they wear are very thin, it is daytime and the temperature at this time is still bearable.

Bailihong is most worried about the night, once it is night, the temperature will drop even lower, if there is no means of heating at that time, then it is likely that someone will be frozen to death.

Therefore, Bailihong's biggest wish now is to collect enough dry firewood as soon as possible, and then light a bonfire, so as to survive the next two nights safely.

As for whether Ning Yuan would bring someone to attack him, he couldn't take care of these things now, as long as he didn't freeze to death, what would the rest of his love do.

So, will Ning Yuan take someone to attack Bailihong?

The answer, of course, is no.

This is icy and snowy, the ghost only knows where those invaders will come, as long as they don't get close to the camp, Ning Yuan doesn't bother to care what they are doing at the moment.

In ancient China, there was a saying that Liula did not fight troops, which means that in the weather of the great heat and the cold, it is better for the enemy and us not to send troops to fight, because in such weather, the soldiers on both sides will easily have non-combat attrition.

Of course, there were some generals in ancient times who did the opposite and did not abide by this agreement, but after all, such people are only a minority, and most of them still silently abide by this unspoken rule, because people know that in front of nature, human beings are fragile and insignificant.

As a modern person, Ning Yuan is definitely not a conformist existence, as long as there are enough benefits, even if it is cold weather, he will send troops without hesitation.

But when the benefits don't reach his psychological level, he definitely won't do this kind of useless work, especially since this is the first winter he's spent here.

Ning Yuan's basic requirement for the first winter he spent here was not to freeze to death, so that everyone in the tribe could survive this winter safely, and as for the rest of the things, they would be at ease.
