Summary: "Concern Over a Locust Plague"

Key Plot Points

1. Gavin Returns to Camp: Gavin arrives back at the camp after a 10-day absence, bringing a large convoy of vehicles and newcomers from New Mexico. The field crew, on horseback, rides out to meet him ahead of the main group while Thomas coordinates over the walkie-talkie.
2. The Welcome: Over 300 people wait in complete silence outside the manor. The wolf pack emerges and is startled by the massive vehicle procession. The newcomers are awestruck as they see the camp's full scale—stables, manors, blacksmith shop, machining center, river, gardens, enormous farmland, airport, and chicken farm.
3. Gavin's Speech: He deliberately avoids a sentimental speech, instead telling everyone to eat and the newcomers that they now have a "home" where they can "live, not survive." He declares this is his answer to them, then shouts to begin the feast.
4. The Party: Runs from 11:36 AM to 3:45 PM. The newcomers drink excessively and gorge on food, especially fruit (described as more exaggerated than Koreans eating watermelon). The old hands remain noticeably restrained and watchful of the newcomers.
5. After-Party Conversation: Gavin finally sits with Nikita and Winnie. He discusses New Mexico's severe drought and warns of a potential massive locust plague forming in the coming years. He plans to meet with department heads and asks both women to listen in so they can understand camp affairs and not be easily deceived.

He demonstrates forward-thinking about long-term threats (drought, locusts) while managing immediate morale.
• The Camp Old Hands: Revealed how dependent they are on Gavin's personal authority. During his absence, the field crew grew unruly (like children without supervision), the wolves grew restless, and Octavian's temper agitated the horses. The logistics members were genuinely moved to near-tears at his return because the internal staff had tightened inspections and the field crew had been "strutting around."
• The Newcomers: Their desperation is evident—they fought over water and canned vegetables before, and this camp's prosperity leaves them nearly speechless. They drink and eat to excess, overwhelmed by this better life.
• Thomas: Shows his steady competence as steward, keeping the field crew in check in Gavin's absence, though he admits he lacks Gavin's personal prestige to fully control them.

Significant Themes

• Leadership and Personal Authority: Gavin's mere presence restores harmony. His reputation—earned through a pistol and fighting skill—is described as more powerful than any institutional structure can replace. The camp functioned but wasn't harmonious without him.
• Security vs. Comfort: The assassination attempt has lingering effects. The old hands distrust the newcomers; internal/external staff now guard both floors, none drinking during the party. The increased security posture has made ordinary members anxious.
• Civilization Rebuilding: "Go live, not survive"—the camp represents the difference between mere existence and genuine quality of life. Gavin frames this as his direct answer to the newcomers' suffering.
• Preparing for Future Threats: Gavin shifts from immediate survival to strategic planning: drought patterns, potential locust plagues, natural barriers (the Rocky Mountains), and harvest coordination.

Character Interactions

• Gavin & Thomas: Warm, joking banter over the walkie-talkie. Gavin teases Thomas about labor laws and celebrates Thomas's rare admission of refusing responsibility. A close, good-humored working relationship.
• Gavin & Field Crew: The field crew surrounds him protectively upon arrival, showing intense loyalty and lingering suspicion of the newcomers. Gavin physically shoves Eugene aside to walk through them—an intimate, informal dynamic.
• Gavin & Newcomers: He's direct and reassuring without being sentimental, offering them a concrete home rather than speeches about ideals.
• Gavin & Nikita: Intimate carefree intimacy; he rests his head on her lap and listens to her stomach. She strokes his hair and touches his sun-cracked ear with concern.
• Gavin & Winnie: A light, flirtatious moment—he tries to pat her calf, but she deliberately sticks out her foot instead, which he playfully finds "too much~."
