Chapter 212 Grouping
"Hey, why did you bring him back?"
Wouldn't it be easier to just take care of it outside?
"I'm puzzled," Qiang asked, his brows furrowed and his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion.
It's important to understand that the laws of survival on this land have always been simple and brutal—survival of the fittest.
A tribe can never have two kings coexisting, unless there are exceptions like Brother Qiang who willingly and voluntarily abdicate.
After all, there have been too many painful lessons in the past: some victors were too soft-hearted and hesitant to let go of the leaders of the defeated tribes, which resulted in their own destruction, as they watched helplessly as their tribes were wiped out by the other side after it made a comeback.
Such incidents are so frequent that they have long been common knowledge.
Therefore, how could Brother Qiang not be anxious and emotional in the face of Wu Heyi's unusual actions?
However, Wu Heyi did not directly respond to Qiang Ge's questions and doubts.
He smiled slightly, revealing a mysterious and unpredictable expression, but remained silent throughout.
Immediately afterwards, he turned and walked toward the water dungeon, carefully instructing the guards responsible for watching over it to keep a close watch on the prisoners inside, ensuring that they did not lose their lives.
After giving his explanation, Wu Heyi left without hesitation and never inquired about the situation in the water dungeon again.
In fact, when he first started to carry out a comprehensive transformation of the entire tribe, Wu Heyi had already foreseen that some people of bad character or with ulterior motives might infiltrate the tribe in the future.
To this end, he meticulously designed and constructed a series of harsh punishments to restrain members who might engage in misconduct, thereby maintaining order and stability within the tribe.
In the 21st century, our ancestors left us with a profound saying: "In times of chaos, harsh measures are necessary."
For this reason, after careful consideration, Wu Heyi only set two or three very special and unique methods and means in the formulation of the penal system.
One method was to lock prisoners in a dark, gloomy room.
If the crime is minor, only one day of detention is required; however, if the circumstances are more serious, imprisonment for three days or even longer may be necessary.
In addition, there is the terrifying water dungeon torture, which may seem harmless on the surface, but in reality it is an extremely painful torment to the human spirit.
Wu Heyi actually replicated these seemingly cruel but quite effective punishments exactly in his tribe.
Just at that moment, a fierce tribal war broke out.
The war was exceptionally fierce, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the end, Wu Heyi's tribe emerged victorious and successfully captured a group of unruly prisoners.
Prior to this, Wu Heyi had been worried about when his carefully designed instruments of torture would finally have a chance to be put to use.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity has now quietly arrived.
Faced with Wu Heyi's silence, Qiang Ge was filled with doubt, but seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining, he wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
After all, in this land, Wu Heyi is the undisputed strongest in everyone's mind.
As long as no one has been able to surpass Wu Heyi in combat power, it means that he will always possess the crucial veto power.
Anyone who wants to challenge his authority would probably have to think twice before acting.
Next, Wu Heyi began to act methodically.
He held a huge bull horn and blew it with all his might.
The loud and long horn sound seemed to travel through the mountains and fields, quickly spreading to every corner of the entire tribe.
Upon hearing the familiar bugle call, people put down what they were doing and gathered in the square from all directions.
Before long, the spacious square was packed with a dense crowd.
They either whispered among themselves or looked curiously at Wu Heyi standing on the high platform.
Faced with the sea of people before him, Wu Heyi couldn't help but feel an indescribable surge of excitement.
Keep in mind that not long ago, this tribe had only 50 people in total.
At that time, due to a shortage of manpower, many things, no matter how urgent they needed to be done, could only be left to wait in line and be dealt with slowly, one by one.
Wu Heyi used to rack his brains trying to figure out how to rapidly increase the tribe's population.
However, at this moment, when more than two thousand unfamiliar yet vibrant faces appeared before him, the joy he felt was indescribable.
He knew that with such a large workforce, the tribe would surely usher in unprecedented development opportunities.
Wu Heyi took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions.
He understood that gathering so many people wasn't just for him to give long, pointless speeches like a leader.
So he decisively began the follow-up work—to conduct a preliminary classification of the people.
First, Wu Heyi turned his attention to the young children and women.
Considering their relatively weak physical strength and special physiological conditions, he decided to arrange for the children to help with simple tasks such as collecting fruits and flowers, and to assist the women with some light housework, such as spinning and cooking.
Next, Wu Heyi made a more detailed classification of the men based on their individual characteristics and abilities.
Some of the strong and skilled men who were good at tracking prey were assigned to the hunting team;
Another group, skilled in agricultural planting techniques, were assigned to the farming group;
Some physically strong and brave individuals were selected for the defense team to protect the tribe's safety.
In addition, those with flexible minds and creativity formed research groups, dedicated to exploring new knowledge and technologies.
Finally, those with construction skills and experience became members of the construction team, undertaking the important task of building infrastructure such as houses and roads.
Furthermore, to ensure that each group could operate efficiently, Wu Heyi specially selected a group of experienced and trusted individuals from the original tribal members to serve as group leaders.
At the same time, in order to give full play to the enthusiasm and autonomy of the masses, he further subdivided each large group into several smaller teams and encouraged the more than two thousand newly joined villagers to elect their own team leaders.
Through this hierarchical control and reasonable division of labor, everyone can clearly understand their responsibilities, thus enabling all tasks to be carried out smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Heyi took firm and powerful steps and led the members of the hunting team and the protection team away from the crowd separately.
His tall and imposing figure resembled a mountain, giving people a sense of unshakable majesty.
Standing there, looking at the two hundred or so people in front of him, Wu Heyi felt a mix of emotions.
On the one hand, he felt extremely excited because a large number of people meant strong combat power.
With so many people working together, they will surely be able to hunt for more abundant food and valuable resources, thereby further expanding the tribe's territory.
Thinking of this, he seemed to already see the beautiful scene of the tribe becoming prosperous and growing stronger day by day.
However, at the same time, Wu Heyi couldn't help but feel a deep sense of helplessness.
Although these two hundred-plus people had received introductory education on martial spirits and knew of their existence, it is regrettable that they themselves do not yet possess a matching spirit ring.
This forces them to use only the most primitive and crude methods when wielding their martial spirits, making it difficult to unleash their true power.
Faced with this situation, Wu Heyi knew that it would not be easy to lead this team to achieve remarkable success.
After Wu Heyi led the group away alone, they all raised their heads and looked at their leader with trepidation.
Especially when Wu Heyi looked at them with that unusually peculiar gaze, a chill involuntarily crept into everyone's heart.
It was a chilling gaze, as if they had become the prey of the hunters, poised to suffer a fatal blow at any moment.
As a result, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and fear surged into their hearts like a tide, making it almost impossible for them to stand still.
