Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Ghouls?

Although Xia Hong and Xia Chuan were hearing the word "ghoul" for the first time, seeing the fear on their father and the others' faces, a sense of inexplicable gravity rose in their hearts.

Their father, Xia Ding, seemed too panicked to pay attention to their confusion. Instead, he quickly ordered the twelve members of the logging team to carry six large trees into the cave.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he led the camp to completely seal the cave entrance.

After the cave entrance was sealed, Xia Ding looked at the bonfire in the center of the camp, a hint of hesitation on his face.

But soon, he made a decision.

"Extinguish the bonfire! Everyone, put on all the clothes you can wear, huddle together for warmth. Only when someone really can't bear it anymore, can we light the bonfire once, and it can only last for ten minutes!"

"What? Extinguish the bonfire?"

"We'll freeze to death."

"Chief, no! My son is still young, he can't take it."

… … … …

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves. Nearly sixty percent of the people in the camp spoke out in opposition.

Of the remaining forty percent, besides the loggers who knew the inside story, the rest who didn't speak were clearly the calm type, waiting for Xia Ding to elaborate.

Xia Ding raised his hand. Seeing everyone shut their mouths, he spoke in a deep voice:

"The ghoul of Redwood Ridge has come out. The people of the Iron Peak and Shen Ju camps are all dead. Extinguish the bonfire, and we still have hope of survival. If that ghoul finds us, we'll all die."

Just hearing the word "ghoul" didn't elicit much reaction from most people in the camp.

Clearly, they didn't know much about ghouls either.

But hearing that everyone in the Iron Peak and Shen Ju camps was dead, including Xia Hong, everyone in the camp was filled with horror.

Those two camps each had a population of over three hundred.

Redwood Ridge has a total of nine camps, of which only Rogge is a medium-sized camp, and the remaining eight are small camps like Da Xia.

As small camps, their strengths vary.

Both camps were stronger than Da Xia.

Among them, the lord of the Iron Peak camp, Tie Ying, was a Ground-Penetrating expert.

And Xia Ding just said that more than six hundred people in the two camps are all dead?

What is the strength of this ghoul?

"Hurry up and put on your clothes, put out the fire. It's almost dawn, just endure for four hours. If anyone really can't bear it, I will light the fire as appropriate, don't worry."

The crowd was dazed for a moment, and soon did as Xia Ding said.

Xia Hong also quickly ran back to his family's area in the cave, found all the clothes he could wear, and threw the thickest animal fur coat directly to his younger brother Xia Chuan next to him.

"Brother, you wear it yourself, I have enough clothes."

"I'm stronger than you, and my body is stronger than yours, it's okay."

Stopping Xia Chuan from returning the clothes, Xia Hong ran straight back to where his father, Xia Ding, was.

The camp moved quickly. In less than two minutes, everyone had put on their clothes and gathered in the center of the cave.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Xia Ding nodded to the four people beside the bonfire who were holding animal skins, ready to extinguish the fire.

The four rushed over and smothered the fire. The flames, more than two meters high, were immediately extinguished.

The cave entrance was already sealed. Without the light of the fire, the interior of the cave immediately plunged into darkness.

Along with the darkness came the cold.

The moment the fire was extinguished, the temperature in the entire cave began to drop rapidly at a rate that the human body could feel.

The two hundred or so people in the camp were not just randomly huddled together.

The youngest children were in the center, surrounded by women, with adult men on the outer periphery, and the thirteen members of the logging team on the outermost layer.

The elderly?

There were no elderly. Not only Da Xia, but almost all camps had no elderly.

In this cold, doomsday winter, ordinary old people cannot survive.

As the sons of the chief, Xia Hong and Xia Chuan did not enjoy any special treatment and were arranged in the outer periphery.

Time passed slowly. In just one hour, the temperature was more than twice as low as when there was a bonfire.

The children in the inner circle began to chatter their teeth from the cold.

The women in the middle also began to tremble.

The adult men on the outer periphery were slightly better, only shivering slightly.

The steadiest were the thirteen members of the logging team on the outermost layer.

"Chief, why don't we light the fire…"

A woman, watching her child's lips turn blue from the cold, finally couldn't help but speak to Xia Ding.

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xia Ding.

"Let me tell you about the ghoul of Redwood Ridge!"

Although everyone was cold, hearing the word "ghoul," they couldn't help but look up at Xia Ding in the darkness.

Although they knew that Xia Ding wanted to divert their attention so that everyone could hold on a little longer, the confusion that had always existed in their hearts was finally about to be resolved. Xia Hong also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"I haven't seen the ghoul of Redwood Ridge. I heard it from an old friend from the Rogge camp. In fact, not just me, but all nine camps around Redwood Ridge.

Only one person has seen that ghoul and is still alive."

"Who?"

Xia Chuan was still young, and it was the time when curiosity exploded and he couldn't hold back his words. Everyone else was listening, but he couldn't help but ask.

Of course, he also helped everyone to ask the question.

"Rogge Camp, Luo Feng!"

Hua… … … …

Hearing the name Luo Feng, the crowd huddled together suddenly exploded.

Including Xia Hong, he couldn't help but reveal a surprised look.

Luo Feng, the previous leader of the Rogge camp, was rumored to be the first Ground-Penetrating expert in Redwood Ridge.

More than twenty years ago, the Rogge camp was actually similar to Da Xia, a small camp with only two hundred people. It was under the leadership of Luo Feng that it continued to develop and grow, eventually becoming a medium-sized camp.

The crowd was surprised, first, because Luo Feng was famous.

The latest novel is on 69shu.com!

Second, because this person was rumored to be crazy.

Fifteen years ago, a message suddenly spread in the Rogge camp, saying that Luo Feng had gone mad from cultivation and even killed his own son. This incident caused a great uproar.

Could it be that madness is related to ghouls?

"You're right, Luo Feng went crazy because of that ghoul.

He ran into that ghoul while leading a hunting team.

At that time, there were a total of twenty people in the entire team, and only he survived.

But after escaping back to the Rogge camp, one night, for some reason, he suddenly went crazy and killed his youngest son, and went mad after waking up.

Before going crazy, he told the people in the Rogge camp's hunting team to never go deep into Redwood Ridge, and also said some news about that ghoul.

So a small part of the Rogge camp knows about the ghoul, and I heard it from them."

"What does that ghoul look like?"

Xia Chuan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Xia Ding didn't answer directly, but paused before speaking.

"There is no specific appearance. I heard that the ghoul can transform into anyone's appearance."

Transform into anyone?

That must be immortality, right?

Seventy-two transformations?

Although he knew this was a transcendent world, the ability to change appearance at will still shocked Xia Hong.

"Can't it be distinguished?"

Xia Hong couldn't help but ask at this moment.

Xia Ding seemed a little surprised by his question, and replied after a moment of silence.

"It can't be distinguished. No matter what method you use, it won't work."

"What will it do when it transforms into someone else's appearance?"

Someone asked the key question again, and Xia Hong also pricked up his ears to listen.

Xia Ding's tone suddenly became a little low, and he said: "I heard that it will transform into someone you are familiar with to gain your trust. As long as you completely trust it, you will immediately become a human stake."

"Human stake?"

"It's just a human stake standing still."

"And then?"

"It will use a knife to cut off all the flesh on your body piece by piece. No matter how painful it is, as long as the flesh is not completely cut off, you will not die."

Hiss… …

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

How painful would that be? The key is that you can't die.

Ghoul, is it so perverted?

Everyone was frightened by Xia Ding's words, and the entire cave suddenly fell silent.

However, at this moment, a clear voice came from outside the cave.

"Why seal the cave entrance so early? Open the door, we're back."

With a swoosh, everyone huddled together in the cave trembled almost simultaneously upon hearing the sound.

Including Xia Hong.

"Open the cave entrance quickly, did you hear me?"

Another voice came. In the dark cave, everyone's pupils trembled violently.

Everyone tacitly looked at the cave entrance at the same time.

Then, they turned to look at Xia Ding, who had been speaking all along.

The shock on their faces gradually turned into deep fear.

Because, the voice coming from outside the cave,

Was also Xia Ding's voice… …
