“What does this mean? It means that the way to survive on the excavation site is to listen less, look less, speak less… unless you want to die early, don’t be so nosy.”
Listening to Big Face Cat’s sophistry.
Lin Xian also mourned for the three younger brothers for two seconds, hoping that in the next world they could have a good ending.
He continued to reflect on the situation Gao Wen had just introduced.
The Grizzly Tribe, beaten by anyone they encountered, and even bullied by the rising river waters, had turned from a pitiable small tribe into a superpower due to the discovery of a Turing Computer.
It really validated the old saying that knowledge is power.
...
But…
The humans in The Sixth Dreamland were truly warlike and formidable. Any force backed by a Turing Computer insisted on fighting to the death.
No.
Lin Xian shook his head.
In fact, the true nature of the chaos and violence in this world wasn’t because of the humans; the real reason was… the countless Turing Computers fomenting strife behind the scenes!
The nature of Turing was the nature of Kevin Walker, which Lin Xian had seen.
His character was such that infighting and self-denial were inevitable, just like the tens of thousands of Turings on Earth in The Sixth Dreamland…
None of them respected the others,
Each believed the others were superfluous,
They all sought to eliminate all other Turings to become the only one.
Thus,
Now Earth was constantly engulfed in war, and the people could not live in peace.
“Terrains change easily, nature dies hard,” murmured Lin Xian.
He continued to ponder the Grizzly Tribe’s location.
He had extracted some key information from Gao Wen’s words—
[Riverside encampment, flood, levee breach, riverbed scouring, altering the river course.]
River!
This was an important clue.
It suggested that the Grizzly Tribe’s base was established in the lower reaches of a river; moreover, this river had strong currents and frequently experienced floods and levee breaches.
Geological features like mountains and rivers are different from man-made structures; they have lived on Earth for hundreds of millions of years, and a mere few hundred years is but a blink of an eye to them, likely with hardly any change.

The Yellow River, the mother river of China, has at least several hundred thousand years of history.
The Yangtze River, as China’s longest river, is recorded to have existed for hundreds of millions of years.
So,
The rivers of 2624, should by and large exist in 2024 as well.
This is the former site of the East Sea.
Then…
Piecing these clues together,
The river next to the Grizzly Tribe is most likely—
[Huangpu River]!
The Huangpu River, as the last tributary before the Yangtze River enters the sea, has dangerous currents and a history of overflowing its banks, matching Gao Wen’s description.
Knowing that the Grizzly Tribe is located next to the Huangpu River, the geography becomes much clearer.
Lin Xian turned the steering wheel to the left, driving toward a hundred-meter-tall mound of earth:
“Let’s first head up to the mound to look for the location of Huangpu Road. As long as we find a similar river, we just need to follow its course northward. Sooner or later, we will find the Grizzly Tribe.”
Suddenly, the path forward was clear.
“Holy shit! Bro, you’re so smart!”
Big Face Cat slapped Lin Xian’s shoulder.
However,
He immediately felt Gao Wen’s wary gaze!
“Ahem…”
He coughed lightly, rubbing Lin Xian’s shoulder:
“I mean, Officer Lin, you’re fantastic!”
…
From the high vantage point, the direction of the Huangpu River’s flow was visible at a glance.
Lin Xian couldn’t help but reflect.
In the face of nature, humans really are just a speck in the ocean.
No matter how human civilization changes.
Whether it flourishes or perishes.
A few hundred, a few thousand years, it’s just a nap for nature and then over.
Even if humanity reaches for the stars or delves deep into the earth fighting to the death,
The Yellow River remains the Yellow River.
The Yangtze River remains the Yangtze River.
The mountains still stand tall, though the people of Lingnan are gone.
Sometimes, when you think about it, it really is…
“Why bother?”
Once the location of the Huangpu River was found, the rest was much simpler.
Following the river northward, the Grizzly Tribe was sure to be found.
“Over there.”
The silent Blue-Eyed Girl suddenly raised her arm, pointing towards a blood-red area in the distance under the setting sun.
Lin Xian, Gao Wen, and Big Face Cat squinted their eyes, unable to discern anything unusual there.
“What’s there?”
Gao Wen took the initiative to ask.
He was clear in his mind.
The reason this strong Blue-Eyed Girl agreed to adventure with them was entirely because Lin Xian had established a good persona and had impressed her.
So, if there were any questions, Lin Xian mustn’t ask them himself.
Once Lin Xian asked a question,
It would surely trigger the girl’s suspicions.
Therefore, to maintain Lin Xian’s stature, whenever there was a question, he would take it upon himself to ask it for Lin Xian.
“It should be what you call the Grizzly Tribe.”
The Blue-Eyed Girl squinted, continuing to gaze into the distance:
“I can see on the riverside a sparse town; though there aren’t many people inside, there are a lot of various devices and buildings, which fits well with your description of the Grizzly Tribe.”
“And… although I can’t see clearly what the people inside are doing, there are many vehicles like your armored car in the town.”
Lin Xian nodded:
“If the location, features, and vehicle models all match up perfectly, then it’s highly likely that it’s the Grizzly Tribe we’re looking for. Let’s continue on!”
With that command,
Everyone got back into the vehicle.
Following the Blue-Eyed Girl’s direction, they now had a rough idea of the Grizzly Tribe’s location.
After about a kilometer, Lin Xian parked the armored car at the foot of a verdant mound and led everyone up the hill, overseeing the Grizzly Tribe’s town from above.
