He opened his mouth as if to speak, but no sound came out; finally, he closed his eyes, his face filled with pain and regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xia Hong let out a quiet sigh inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and the other nine men could not bear to look and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all understood Shi Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For earlier, the anomaly had once controlled Xia Ding and slaughtered Xia people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anomaly killed so many largely because it wore the face of someone they knew best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death was terrifying enough, but the horror inflicted by someone familiar—especially when both killer and victim were one’s own people—was colder, more shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stone Leader… please, bear up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong stepped forward and placed a hand on Shi Qing’s shoulder; he meant to comfort him, but the words that came out were merely consolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shi Qing’s blank expression, still lost in grief, he sighed and scanned the surroundings: “Stone Leader, time is precious. That anomaly could return at any moment. Many in your camp are still alive—if you don’t rally soon, more tragedies will happen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly jolted awake by Xia Hong’s words, Shi Qing snapped back to awareness, casting him a grateful glance, then turned to his children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ping, count how many died and how many survived. Search every corner of the cave—some may be hiding in the lower levels; get them out quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu, notify everyone to gather their belongings. Once ready, come to the cave entrance and assemble—we’re moving out immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still grieving, the two youths, hearing their father’s orders and sensing the urgency, quickly rose to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving his instructions, Shi Qing turned his gaze to Xia Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Head Leader…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xia Hong met Shi Qing’s eyes, he knew exactly what he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly because the pleading in his gaze was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qing’s shoulder blades, limbs, and torso had just been pierced by the anomaly’s white threads; now his entire body was drenched in blood, barely able to move—he was all but crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention leading the remaining camp members to a new, unknown place to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he could even guide the survivors through this evacuation was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the loss of the last Woodcutting Realm combatant—especially Shi Qing, the soul of the camp—it meant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashih Camp had effectively ceased to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pleading in Shi Qing’s eyes clearly went beyond asking for help moving; his intent was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to entrust the remaining people of Dashih Camp to Xia Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qing did not say it outright, giving Xia Hong room to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew taking in hundreds of people was no simple matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xia Hong had just slain the anomaly, suggesting Xia Camp was far better off than before, Shi Qing did not believe Xia Hong would so easily accept so many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the survivors left in Dashih Camp were all ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he, the sole Woodcutting Realm combatant, was now useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xia Hong remained silent, Shi Qing’s pleading gaze slowly faded, his hope dwindling, replaced by despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with us back to Xia Camp first. We’ll deal with the rest later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xia Hong’s words, Shi Qing stiffened, lifting his head sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming Xia Hong truly agreed, Shi Qing was so overcome he could not speak, only gazing at him with boundless gratitude and nodding deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, we lost 132 people; 187 remain. Sister has already told everyone to gather their things—they’ll be ready soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ping walked over, followed by Shi Lu, and others who had finished packing slowly gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuan, organize your nine. When they reach the cave entrance, help lift them up—first get the children up, then lead them down the mountain first. Let the elderly climb on their own; it’ll be faster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Head Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan and his nine men began organizing the orderly evacuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xia Hong had led the last relocation of Xia Camp, Xia Chuan had already been beside him helping then, so he had some experience; with his eight men assisting, efficiency surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, children were placed at the front, lifted one by one by Yuan Cheng and others at the cave mouth using ropes; adults followed with their belongings and supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching everyone evacuate in order, Shi Qing’s spirits eased somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stone Leader, come on—I’ll carry you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Hong approach to carry him, Shi Qing’s eyes flickered with surprise, then he hurriedly waved his hands, smiling bitterly: “Head Leader, don’t joke—I’m a cripple now. How could I trouble you? Let Shi Ping carry me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shi Qing’s address, Xia Hong raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qing’s subtle intentions were clear—he feared Xia Hong would abandon the nearly two hundred people of Dashih Camp, so he was trying to cement his status as “Leader” first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xia Hong had never intended to abandon them, seeing Shi Qing’s cautious Shitan , his heart grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Shi Qing’s reaction alone, one could see how dire the plight of small camps was: due to resource limits, merging was impossible; to join a stronger camp, one needed sufficient value and the other camp needed surplus resources—without both, no one would accept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Xia Camp’s current strength was insufficient to absorb nearly two hundred people—but abandoning them to become prey for anomalies and cold beasts was unthinkable to Xia Hong. Added to that, Shi Qing’s desperate, pleading gaze had forced him to accept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Stone Leader—I won’t abandon them. Come back to Xia Camp with me first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xia Hong’s words, Shi Qing’s face finally relaxed; he even mustered his strength to kneel before Xia Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xia Hong did not let him kneel, catching him with a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Shi Ping arrived; Xia Hong helped place Shi Qing on his back, then led the two toward the cave entrance, asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stone Leader, when you encountered the anomaly on Xia territory before, how did you escape? Did everyone else die except Wang Ming and the other three?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How was Shi Dong swapped out? Didn’t you notice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And—did you personally see that anomaly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong asked several questions, but the most important was the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to learn more about that anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on his son’s back, Shi Qing’s eyes flickered with pain, but he quickly composed himself and began answering Xia Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1292,"2026-06-19T20:30:15.201Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a9556a480f9e2c8eff7cfb8a4c19b24410b348eba07e89af153eff193dc24579","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-50","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-48",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
