The tribe’s collective hunts took place every other day, so there was no group hunt today. As the tribal chief, Xiong He began to take this opportunity to deal with some administrative matters within the tribe.

For example, reassigning caves.

Some people had decided to live together, so the extra caves could be given to others to live in, and there were some people who had reached adulthood and needed to be assigned new caves.

Over the years, the population of the Big Bear Tribe had been growing constantly. Although they dug out new caves every year, there still wasn’t enough for them all to live in individually. Because of this, those who couldn’t participate in the hunts were never given a cave of their own.

And when they talked about those who couldn’t participate in hunts, they really meant Zhou Ji.

After Zhou’s mother died, Xiong He had never taken back the cave that had been allocated to his mother out of sympathy. However, it had already been two months.

People like Zhou Ji who couldn’t take part in the hunts should live in the collective cave.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe went to bed early and woke up early, so Xiong He came to find Zhou Ji just after daybreak to tell him about this matter.

Zhou Ji: “……” He hadn’t known that the tribe had a rule like this…

“Zhou Ji, can you understand what I’m saying?” Xiong He was a little concerned as he asked Zhou Ji this. Zhou Ji had been a fool from childhood, and he was worried that Zhou Ji hadn’t understood his words.

Zhou Ji nodded. Although he hadn’t fully learned the language of this tribe because he rarely associated with other people, he was still able to understand what Xiong He was saying.

After working so hard for so many years in a post-apocalyptic world, he hadn’t really wanted to do much after arriving in this world, so his performance had always been very passive.

As for killing dinosaurs…Dinosaurs were so cute, why did he have to kill them?! Okay, fine. Dinosaurs weren’t actually cute. He was simply sick of cutting apart zombies, and not only did he not want to take action, he was also unable to do so.

However, he hadn’t expected that he would lose his own cave because of this.

“You’ll be moving to the cave below, and someone will take care of you.” Xiong He continued. The cave where the tribe’s elderly, weak, sick, and disabled lived was just under Zhou Ji’s cave.

In his opinion, it wasn’t a bad thing for Zhou Ji to go and live there. After all, Zhou Ji looked like he needed to be taken care of.

Zhou Ji’s brow furrowed slightly. It wasn’t possible for him to live with others. During the end of the world, he had slaughtered zombies constantly, remaining alert at all times, and couldn’t sleep at all if there was anyone near him. Also… the cave where the people of the tribe lived together was too dirty.

He had been dirty for so many years after the apocalypse that he really wanted to stay clean now!

“Zhou Ji, can you move out today?” Xiong He asked again.

Zhou Ji replied, “Yes.” Although he didn’t want to live with other people, he also felt bad about staying here and occupying a cave by himself. Really, he could sleep in the place the tribe used to store firewood, or if that didn’t work, he could build himself a shed to sleep in.

Seeing that Zhou Ji had agreed, Xiong He asked the idle children around the tribe to help Zhou Ji move his things.

There were many things in Zhou Ji’s cave, and they were all things that Zhou Ji’s mother had left for him. These things were brought out from the cave one by one and placed on the floor of the valley.
