Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1294: Chapter 424: Reaping What One Sows, Hezang’s Orphan, Shocking Upheaval and Hatred (Part 3)

Ji Hong remembered very clearly that at that time, he even harbored the thought of taking his sister with him to die, thinking that only in this way could they continue living with their parents.

But after that, his life changed.

Lord Xia Hong brought back prey for the first time; he and his sister received beast meat for the first time; his basic strength broke through five thousand pounds, and he joined the logging team; he moved with his sister, following everyone from the camp from the mud slope to the valley; moved into a wooden house in the main building with his sister; later, his sister also broke through to the Logging Realm; after the Great Xia Valley restructured, he earned enough contribution value to buy land and moved with his sister into a new home...

After enduring the darkest moments, with Lord Xia Hong taking over, their lives as siblings began to improve day by day, with beast meat, clothing, refined salt, fine wine, Dan medicine... all kinds of novel resources constantly emerging in the camp like bamboo shoots after rain, they lived a life they could never have imagined before.

"Brother, I want to join your hunting team, please let me join, okay?"

"The Camp Supply Department is too boring, brother, I’ve joined the Xia Clothing Workshop in the Craftsmen Department!"

"Brother, I’ve broken through, and it’s a top-level combat body qualification, hahahaha, how about that, am I amazing? Am I amazing?"

"Brother, you’ve also broken through, and it’s a top-grade battle body qualification, that’s great!"

"Guess who I am?"

The dream continued.

Sister Ji Jiang’s qualifications were much stronger than those of her useless brother; at just fifteen, her basic strength was close to the limit of thirty thousand pounds, and she even quarreled with him about wanting to join the hunting team.

Of course, in the end, he refused her.

It’s so dangerous for a girl to fight Cold Beasts outside; it’s safer to obediently join the Camp Supply Department and stay in Xia City.

In the seventh year of Great Xia, his sister surprisingly broke through to the Cold Resistance Level before him, and it was still a top-level combat body qualification. Ji Hong was overjoyed at the time and spent a lot to buy a pound of Phoenix Yang Drunk from the Camp Supply Department to celebrate with his sister.

The dream moved to the eighth year of Great Xia, September; because he risked coordinating with Xiao Hen to save a group of people in Jiangxia Town, he received a personal commendation from the Lord and was given a pound of Jiao Long Blood, successfully breaking through to the Cold Resistance Level with top-grade battle body qualification.

As soon as he broke through, he received an invitation from Vice Commander Yuwen Yong, becoming a reserve member of the Dragon Martial Army, and his name suddenly spread throughout the Bashang area.

This stage of the dream ended on the night of September 16th, the eighth year of Great Xia, when he was escorting materials with the Dragon Martial Army to Hongmen City, planning to visit the South City during his leave.

As soon as he stepped into South City, his sister Ji Jiang covered his eyes from behind.

In the dream, Ji Hong seemed to sense something, a hint of panic appeared on his face, he didn’t dare to turn to look at his sister, and didn’t want the dream to continue.

However, the dream did not stop because of his resistance.

After the Battle of Hongmen ended, he found Lin Kai to help his sister with the issue involving Xu An. Despite the humiliation from the Zhao Brothers, as long as he thought of his sister’s crisp laughter, a smile would arise at the corners of his mouth.

The timeline in the dream moved to the ninth year of Great Xia.

In February, the Dragon Martial Army finally had an opening, and he transitioned from a reserve to a formal member of the Scout Camp’s team five. At the end of February, he welcomed his first rotation break from military service, with a total of seven days of leave.

He hadn’t seen his sister Ji Jiang for five months. Without any hesitation, Ji Hong packed his things, bade farewell to the captain, and headed straight for Hongmen City.

"Brother, you’ve been supporting me for nearly ten years. Now that I can finally earn some contribution value, I wanted to buy you some cultivation resources."

"You rely on yourself for everything, and I rely on you. Your cultivation speed has always been slowed down by me. Brother Xu An is just two years older than you. In the past, your abilities were actually very close, and the big gap now is because of me. Do you want me to feel guilty forever?"

"If your strength could improve faster, wouldn’t you be able to protect me better?"

......

Because of the Yangyuan Pill, Ah Jiang argued with him. As usual, it ended with him compromising.

"If your strength could improve faster, wouldn’t you be able to protect me better?"

In the dream, Ji Hong repeated this sentence from his sister. It was as if he suddenly remembered something, and his expression twisted, clutching his head, unwilling to continue the dream, pulling out the blade from his waist, wildly slashing at the scene in front of him, trying to escape the dream.

However, no matter how hysterically he behaved, the dream still continued...

"Brother, it’s really great having you!"

When he learned that his sister’s shop faced difficulties, he decided to use his seven-day leave to go hunting in Beining Mountain with his sister, to stock up on more beast skin materials for her.

He returned on the day of the first of March, and Ah Jiang, feeling sorry for him, first treated him to a meal and let him rest properly.

Just as Ji Hong was indeed very tired in the military, he slept until the early hours of the first of March.

Upon waking, he realized his sister had already prepared everything.

So, the two of them headed into Beining Mountain together.

"No... no... don’t go into the mountain, don’t go into the mountain..."

In the dream, Ji Hong was both within it and like an outsider. He watched as another version of himself took his sister into Beining Mountain, suddenly realizing something, his face full of fear and panic, desperately trying to stop them.

But he could do nothing, only watch as the two of them plunged into the dark, cold snow forest at the outskirts of Beining Mountain.
