Generally speaking, during these special times, two migrating groups won’t get too close. When they discover each other, most will tacitly avoid one another.

Because in the extremely scarce resources of winter, the danger isn’t just from mutated creatures but from humans themselves.

In extreme environments, humans are far more unpredictable than animals and plants. At least in a frenzied state, mutated creatures lack reason and attack mindlessly. But humans possess thoughts and intelligence.

A convoy might not be wiped out by a group of mutated creatures, but it’s very possible to be annihilated or assimilated by another convoy.

If two groups clash, in most cases, there won’t be any survivors. On Cang Zhan Star, everyone is well aware of the concept of eradicating the roots. This is also one of the reasons why Hu Sichen and Fei Luo would migrate together with the Gu Langu Base.

The approach of the other convoy heightened everyone’s alertness. People from the base instinctively moved closer to each other, assuming defensive postures.

“The surroundings are all plains, there’s no shelter from the wind. Only this small town can serve as a resting place. I reckon they also want to set up camp in the town.” Nan Fang stuffed a large piece of roasted meat into his mouth. While it was satisfying, the taste was still far from good enough.

“Still, Shui Shui’s cooking is so delicious.” Nan Fang felt like his appetite had been spoiled by Shu Shuishui’s braised meat. Even though it was incredibly luxurious meat, he always felt like something was missing.

“Hey! If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. Roast your own!” Yu Jin kicked Nan Fang discontentedly. “Besides, can I and Shui Shui even be compared? Shui Shui’s meat is stewed delicately, piece by piece. Did you see Shui Shui measuring the seasonings with his own little paws, precise to milligrams? If I can just roast it until it’s cooked, that’s already a success, you know?”

“Brother Yu is right, and we only have salt. Unfortunately, Shui Shui’s seasonings are only a little bit. We can’t bear to ask for them.” Xie Feng remembered the time when they went to ask Shu Shuishui about the amount of seasonings.

As a result, the little mouse proudly extended its little arm and drew a big circle. “It’s this big, like a small mountain, even a bit bigger than Shui Shui.”

After that, Xie Feng and the others gave up on asking Shuishui for some “small mountain”-sized seasonings.

While the three were eating roasted meat, the other migrating convoy took a detour to the other side of the town. Although the town wasn’t large, it could still comfortably accommodate several thousand people.

The two convoys tacitly divided the town into east and west sides, with the central street as the boundary.

It wasn’t until the people from the three bases were settled and had taken out their portions of meat, steamed, stewed, and roasted them, that the cooking methods, though rudimentary, still brought satisfaction.

The rich aroma of meat spread with the wind and drifted over to where the other convoy was stationed.

On the upper floor of one of the two-story buildings, a man with a scar across his face couldn’t help but deeply inhale several times.

“Boss Dong! They’re eating meat over there! It smells so good! Shouldn’t we…” Due to arriving in town later, the convoy was still settling in at this time. Although the faint aroma of meat had been dispersed by the wind, after many years without a taste of meat, almost everyone had become like dogs, still able to accurately detect the scent of meat.
