Chapter 11 Beast-hunting Team_3
When Winters first learned that there was a timber camp in Wolf Town, he thought it was a small-scale lumber mill with a dozen workers.
It wasn't until he arrived at the timber camp that Winters realized it was a large lumbering team with a hundred people, not much different from the population of a small village.
The logging team's campsite delved deep into the forest, away from human settlements, practically a meal laid out for wild beasts. The foreman had heard about the wolf plague and had long since run back to the county seat, leaving only a few supervisors behind to maintain order.
Furthermore, the living conditions of the loggers were unimaginably crowded and harsh. Winters didn't know where the foreman had found workers willing to toil in such a place.
"I reckon that bear will come again," Winters discussed with Gerard, "These loggers are all able-bodied; can we enlist them in the militia?"
