Chapter 2409: Mission 89

After observing Gary’s completion of the meal, Gu Chaoyan initiated the discussion. “At present, we have successfully arranged winter shelters for our Five Elements Clan, and we possess weapons for our protection. There is little chance of encountering any trouble, unless we were to encounter an exceptionally formidable clan. However, such a clan is unlikely to venture here.”

“We must now turn our attention to the challenge of combating the cold,” she continued.

“At present, we only have animal skins, and a few small pieces are mainly allocated to the elderly and children. There are also a few for the very frail women. However, these resources are insufficient to withstand the impending snowstorms.”

“Winter is rapidly approaching.”

“We need a solution to this dilemma.”

“What I’m thinking now is that we can’t continue to sit here and wait for death.”

“Select five suitable individuals, and we will venture to a more distant location to seek something that may suit our needs,” Gu Chaoyan declared.

Gary seemed puzzled. What exactly were they searching for? In the past, during the snowy season, they would stock up on food supplies, furs, and charcoal fires to survive. These resources were already considered a luxury for the clan. What else could they possibly be seeking?

“Tribe Chief?” Gary inquired.

“Do you trust me?” Gu Chaoyan questioned.

“I’ll arrange the individuals right away,” Gary promptly replied.

He had unwavering trust in the Tribe Chief. Their current quality of life and the innovations they had implemented, such as the bow and arrow, were all thanks to her. Her judgment had consistently proven reliable.

Gu Chaoyan had already made up her mind. Regardless of whether she found cotton or not, they had to locate as much edible food as possible during their journey or discover alternative means to combat the cold. In essence, they had to make an attempt.

Once Gary had departed, Gu Chaoyan began formulating her plans for the future. Given that they were limited to traveling on foot, they could only cover a limited distance in a day, and they wouldn’t be able to bring back significant quantities if they found anything. She had a contingency plan in mind to address these challenges.

When the time came, they would construct a simple wheelbarrow to transport their findings back.

First, they needed to prepare for the three-day expedition, ensuring they had enough provisions to last.

This initial undertaking was relatively straightforward, as Gu Chaoyan was primarily interested in exploring the world in this new environment.

Gary swiftly coordinated the arrangements, selecting a mix of young and older individuals. Gu Chaoyan didn’t require further details; she trusted Gary to handle it appropriately.

“We’re planning a three-day journey this time. We’ll finalize the clan’s preparations today and assemble the necessary dry rations for our trip,” Gary relayed the information.
