A special environment creates a special ecology, and ultimately creates equally special humans.
Not long after Calvin returned to the tribe, he discovered this fact after contacting the members of the tribe.
An environment with twice the gravity is considered normal, but the average height of adult men in the tribe is 2 meters, which attracted his great attention.
There must be other factors involved in their bones and muscles, so that they can achieve a higher limit than ordinary people in this environment.
This doubt was explained after Calvin saw their things.
Did they grow up eating this stuff? Calvin complained crazily in his mind.
The object of the complaint was the suspicious food that Mu casually handed over, which in Calvin's eyes had a radiation content that clearly exceeded the standard.
Well, if it can be called food.
The food in front of me is composed of some unknown plant starch, and its lumpy shape is quite normal.
This starch was invisible to the naked eye, but the unusual light haze effect was so conspicuous in Calvin's eyes that it really surprised him.
This thing obviously contains radioactive elements, and it definitely exceeds the standard!
Calvin is not afraid of eating this. His stomach is designed to digest this kind of thing.
But he is really interested in how local humans digest this food and how it continues to this day.
If this doubt can be resolved, and Calvin can confirm that these humans do not fall within the mutation range recognized by the empire, then this place will definitely be a new source of troops for the empire!
What were he thinking... He shook his head.
This place is still under the jurisdiction of the Order of Omen, so how can people from the Ministry of Military Affairs be allowed to intervene?
Speaking of the Order of Omen, I don’t know what’s going on with Constantine now…
His thoughts were still going on, but the food being handed to him brought him back to reality.
Calvin decided not to think about these troubles for the time being, and turned his attention to how to deal with "Mu"'s meticulous and overly enthusiastic care...
Family love is a special feeling.
What's special about it is that its existence is based on unilateral giving without expecting anything in return.
In the days after returning to the tribe, Calvin experienced this kind of all-round care.
Mu's life was rough and she remained unmarried and had no children.
From the moment she picked up Calvin, she regarded Calvin as a gift from God to her.
She cherished Calvin, her later relative, very much. In addition to praying and thanking God every night, her strong maternal care made Calvin somewhat unbearable.
This expression of emotion reflects her strong personal style - silent and stubborn.
It is reflected in every aspect of Calvin's life, from the fine stitches on the fur to protect him from the frost, to the wide variety of dry food in his bag when he goes hunting.
Whenever Calvin tried to do these things by himself, Mu's silent but gentle eyes made him finally give in.
This is the power of family affection, which may not be as fierce as love, but it can loosen and soften Calvin's steely heart.
It is easy to reject love, especially since Calvin had already realized it, so this kind of thing would never happen to him in this life.
Family love is different. Who can refuse someone who is unilaterally devoted to you without asking for anything in return?
I can't, you can't, and neither can Calvin.
He knew that both his mental age and absolute life span were far greater than this woman who had never left the plateau in her life.
But he was unwilling to refuse, instinctively unwilling.
Whenever he touched the stitches on the fur on his body, he had a strange feeling in his heart, like a gap that had always existed and was being filled with gentle care.
He understood that this body was an instinctive regret. It was a pity that as a mortal, he never had the opportunity to enjoy the family affection that belonged to him...
There are always storms on the snowy plateau, and the snow in the coniferous forest is blown by the wind and falls from the branches in fine pieces.
At the edge of the forest covered with a foot of snow, Calvin was squatting on a pile of wood that had been cut down, sniffing the fishy smell in the air several kilometers away.

The Astartes' sense of smell was used by Calvin here, becoming an effective guide for him when hunting alone, and a guarantee that he would not get lost in the forest.
The air in the wind is cold and dry, and Calvin's olfactory cells efficiently filter all useful information amidst the sting of low temperature.
The smells carried in the air were complex and messy, and Calvin could distinguish many animals, ranging from giant beasts that he could not carry on his back to small rodents jumping between branches.
With the dry food Mu prepared for him in his mouth, Calvin was still waiting.
He hasn't found a suitable target yet. The identified information is either of inappropriate size or inappropriate distance...
This is it!
Looking at the 3 o'clock sun in the distance, Calvin, who was worried about returning empty-handed, finally found a suitable target in the air.
Although the flesh and blood of this giant beast is marked as inedible by hunters, its gorgeous fur alone can be exchanged for a lot of money...
Whoosh!
In the uninhabited forest, Calvin does not need to disguise himself. When exerting his full strength, his unformed body also has strength and agility that exceeds that of mortals.
The white fur left shadows in the air, and only the footprints on the branches and the rustling of shaken snow in the air proved that he had passed by here before.
The distance of five kilometers in a straight line in the primeval forest is the limit of a day under the feet of mortals, even the elite hunters in the tribe are no exception.
No matter how much, it's not impossible, but in the dangerous wilderness, they must ensure that they have sufficient physical strength to cope with possible accidents.
Calvin had no such concerns.
Even in the coldest cold season, he can run and jump in the forest without any scruples, covering a distance of nearly ten kilometers in a cup of tea.
Phew! Hiss!
Calvin's figure appeared on a raised cliff, in the open space less than ten meters below his feet, which was the goal of his trip.
The bear-like creature named Kraken was happily wandering in the open space to find a new cave, completely unaware of the peeping eyes dozens of meters away upwind.
Phew!
The wind in the mountains and forests is always changeable, and the headwind one second turns into a tailwind the next.
Calvin, whose whereabouts were exposed, did not panic, but took his time to watch the reaction of the giant beast in front of him.
It did not choose to escape, probably because it was reluctant to part with this rare shelter.
Weighing 200 kilograms, it is considered petite among its kind, but its ecological niche still gives it a lot of courage that it shouldn't have.
It tried to drive Calvin away, and the way it bared its teeth and claws was both fierce and ridiculous.
Calvin's reaction was to slowly pull out six iron picks from the belt around his waist with both hands.
After thinking about it, he took back two of them.
Metal is a precious resource here. These six iron sticks are already most of Mu's property, so they should be used sparingly...
After holding the remaining four iron picks between his fingers, Calvin looked at the already tilted sun above his head and decided not to wait any longer.
Facing Kraken's roar, his thin figure jumped up from the cliff and pounced down like an eagle!
The iron sign in his hand was hidden behind him in mid-air, and his hawk-like gaze was pointed directly at the neck of the giant beast!
The instinctive claw strikes were easily dodged, and even the dynamic vision beyond that of humans was unable to lock onto the white figure leaping around.
The giant beast howled timidly, spinning in circles as it tried its best to follow the opponent's footsteps, but its strong body became synonymous with clumsiness.
The roaring sound is still echoing, and the nervous pulling continues.
Under the secretion of adrenaline hormones, the physical fitness of the giant beast is rapidly declining.
The extremely fast wandering continued, and the pulled beast's breathing began to become short. Its physical strength, which was not good at endurance, had reached its lowest point, and its steps had begun to stagger.
Whoosh!
After teasing the giant beast for a long time, Calvin saw that the time had come and jumped forward decisively.
Phew! Phew! Two more consecutive claw attacks were avoided.
When the third powerful sweep came, Calvin took half a step back, and then jumped onto the upright shoulders of the giant beast.
With the help of the infrared vision in his eyes, Calvin accurately placed the iron pick in his left hand

Insert it into the bright red pipe on the neck of the giant beast, and then take advantage of the gap before the counterattack comes to jump to distance... Boo!
As the huge body completely lost its life and fell on the white snow, Calvin jumped down again from the woods not far away.
The iron tag with the tail tube and blood groove was not in vain for his painstaking polishing. With the continuous bleeding, it would not pollute his favorite fur.
He casually stepped on the circle of blood surrounding the giant beast, and took back the iron sign that was still bleeding.
Carrying this huge trophy on his shoulders, Calvin looked at the little sunlight left above his head, and took the time to set foot on the way he came.
It’s five-thirty in the afternoon, which is already the time when the sun sets in high latitudes.
The hunting teams in the tribe also appeared at the end of the sentry soldiers' sight in the golden afterglow.
When Calvin was the last to walk out of the forest in the rays of the setting sun, everyone at the checkpoint was stunned by the heavy victory on his back:
"Hey! White-skinned guy! What did you bring back this time?"
When Calvin returned from the snowfield carrying a heavy load of prey, a vibrant voice came to his ears, adding a touch of color to the setting sun.
That was the voice of the daughter of the warrior leader of the tribe, and it was also the source of Calvin's recent trouble.
Nomadic girls are like this, a contradiction between a fawn and a she-wolf.
In front of her father and brother, in front of her playmates in the tribe, and even in front of people she has a crush on, she is as agile as a young deer, lively, simple and has no taboos.
You can always see the vitality in her body, and those big wet eyes are always curiously looking at everything that interests her.
But on the other hand, it would be embarrassing if you are not appreciated or if she notices your malice.
In this era when women also have to take up swords and guns, there is no essential difference between her and her father and brothers as a warrior.
Regardless of the superficial appearance evaluation, the dagger on her waist and the white callus mark on her thumb can tell you what the she-wolf's anger is.
"Hey! Don't keep silent! This is really a big guy! How did you deal with it!"
She jumped to the front of Calvin and blocked the former's steps.
But the latter didn't pay attention. He just raised his head and swept it with his silver eyes, which made the girl's curiosity and enthusiasm cool down at the same time.
"Ah this man! And his..."
The girl was stopped mid-sentence by her brother, whose cautious eyes had been focused on Kraken's snow-white fur.
He knew that his gaze would be noticed by the other party, but he had to look at it.
At this age, one can hunt such prey alone and bring it back to the tribe intact.
The strength and courage shown by the other party no longer allow him to despise.
This is no longer a simple hunt.
As long as they know enough about hunting, any hunter in the tribe will fall into a stunned silence when they see the prey and the boy carrying it.
The body weighing 200 kilograms is exactly the limit that Calvin can carry now. Kraken's hind legs, stained yellow by the soil, are currently being dragged on the ground behind Calvin, creating a long snow mark.
Mars looked up:
The white fur is bright and intact, and there are no wounds on the whole body. There are only slight traces of blood on the neck.
This was not the product of a trap, but a precise and brutal one-sided killing.
Can he do it? It should be possible. But can he do it so cleanly? It’s difficult...
Mars thought deeply about these details and compared them with his own abilities, and came to a fact that he was unwilling to face.

After waving his hand to stop the girl's meaningless offense, the hunter, who was in his eighties and still in his prime on the local planet, turned to the big tent in the center of the camp and informed his father of his observations.
"Then what do you want to do?" the leader of the tribe asked.
At this time, he was looking at the newly acquired sword in his hand. He was not touched by Mars' words in the slightest, as if the young man was not threatening his son's future status.
"I... don't know."

Mars said a little discouraged.
The leader turned around, picked up the leather on the table, gently wiped the edge of the sword, and then said to Mars:
"What cannot be achieved by force, conspiracy cannot last long. The most clear thing for me in this life is to understand my own abilities and what kind of things I can do. What about you? My child?"
"But..."
"No but!"
The leader inserted the sword on the table, interrupting Mars' unspoken words.
"I want to sacrifice the lives of tribal warriors to drive away a person who is not at fault for the threat you may face?"
He strode across the desk, walked up to Mars, grabbed his collar, and asked cheek to cheek:
"Or are you afraid? Are you afraid that you won't have the chance to take over the power in my hands?"
"I didn't!"
"So you can't wait any longer? You think 70 years is too long. It's time for me, an old man, to give way to you?"
"No! No!" Mars explained in a panic.
"Trash! Then you should use your bravery to prove your qualifications to me!"
The leader pushed away Mars, who was out of control, and then looked down at his fallen body:
"You need to understand that the ore that can be used to cast blades can only be obtained by using blades. The people of the tribe are not blind. Whoever can give them more stability and water will be their alpha wolf. I will say this,
Just take care of yourself."
After saying that, the leader pulled out the weapon on the desk, turned around and walked out of the tent.
The exchange between the two came to an end, and calm returned to the tent.
In the tent hundreds of meters away, Calvin remained expressionless as Mu handed over hot water and towels and looked thoughtfully in their direction.
