After some communication and negotiation, several bases offered assistance, sending much-needed supplies and technical support. Xiao Yi stood at the base entrance, filled with gratitude, watching trucks laden with supplies slowly approach in the distance. Each truck's arrival was like a ray of hope, brightening his weary face. The first to arrive was a base from a neighboring town, bringing a large amount of food and warm clothing. The staff unloaded the cargo quickly and orderly. Xiao Yi shook the hand of the person in charge, speechless with emotion. The person in charge patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and said, "We're all family. Don't be shy. We'll get through this together!" Soon after, a highly skilled engineering team arrived from another base a little further away. Equipped with advanced equipment and tools, they prepared to help repair damaged infrastructure. Immediately after disembarking, the engineers set to work, conducting a comprehensive inspection and repair of the power system and communications network. Other bases sent precious medicines and medical equipment, and medical staff tirelessly accompanied the supplies to provide timely treatment to the injured and sick residents. Aid poured in from various bases, filling warehouses with supplies and busy technicians moving around the bases. Xiao Yi personally directed the distribution of supplies and the coordination of technical support, ensuring that every bit of aid had the greatest impact. In this atmosphere of warmth and care, the people at the bases were also deeply inspired. Everyone joined in the work of moving supplies and assisting the technicians, their faces filled with hope and grateful smiles. Watching all this, Xiao Yi was filled with endless gratitude and unwavering confidence in the future. He knew that with everyone's joint efforts and the help of these friendly bases, they would be able to restore the bases to normal operations as soon as possible and rebuild their beautiful homes.

Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, the base gradually regained its vitality. The first rays of morning sun bathed the ground, and the traces of the ravages of ice, snow, and storms began to fade. People were busy early, their footsteps, shouts, and the clatter of tools blending into a melody of hope. In the fields, the newly planned layout was taking shape. Workers wielded hoes, tilling the soil and sowing seeds adapted to cold temperatures. Agricultural experts moved among them, patiently guiding them, their faces beaming with anticipation, as if they could already see the promise of a bountiful harvest. Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, the damaged houses were once again sturdy and warm. Craftsmen meticulously patched cracks in the walls and replaced worn roof tiles, each repair reflecting their dedication and love for their home. On the streets, shops gradually opened for business, overflowing with goods. Children ran and played happily in the streets, their laughter filling the air. Elderly people sat in front of their doors, basking in the sun and recounting stories of the past, their eyes filled with contentment at their new lives. Inside the factory, machines roared once again, workers attentively operating the equipment, and the production lines churned out a steady stream of products. Transport vehicles came and went, delivering goods to where they were needed, injecting a constant stream of energy into the base's development. In the school, the sound of reading filled the air. Teachers taught passionately, students listened intently, and the sparks of knowledge blossomed in the classroom. Flowers lining the playground swayed gently in the breeze, as if cheering on this vibrant scene. Every corner of the base was filled with vitality and energy. Gone were the gloom and worry on people's faces, replaced by firm faith and a vision for the future. Everyone helped and encouraged each other, working together for the base's prosperity. This once-devastated land is now radiating new light. Like a rising star, the base shines with hope, illuminating the path forward.

New arable land was reclaimed and planted with cold-tolerant crops. At the edge of the base, the once barren land was now bustling with activity. Large tilling machines roared, diligently turning over the dormant soil. Wherever they passed, the ground became soft and fertile, exuding a rich earthy aroma. Groups of diligent workers followed closely behind the machines, armed with farm tools, meticulously cultivating every inch of the land. Their foreheads were covered with sweat, but their hands never stopped working. Some cleared weeds and rocks, while others smoothed out the unevenness of the land, each one focused and dedicated. When the land was ready, bags of carefully selected seeds were brought in. Carefully, the workers sowed the seeds, as if sowing the seeds of hope. Each seed carried their hope for a good harvest and their yearning for a better life. The crops planted were carefully selected varieties that were adapted to cold temperatures. The cold-hardy wheat seedlings, their tender green leaves swaying gently in the breeze, demonstrate their tenacious vitality. The rapeseed seedlings, though small, are brimming with life, as if to remind us that they will thrive despite the cold. To ensure the growth of the crops, the irrigation system has been redesigned and re-laid. Canals meander through the fields, their clear water flowing gently, nourishing each seedling. Across this newly reclaimed land, busy figures bustle, their cheerful laughter echoing in the air. From sunrise to sunset, every moment is filled with hard work and unwavering faith in the future. As time passes, this newly cultivated land gradually becomes lush and green. Under the careful care of the people, the young crops grow day by day, painting a hopeful picture for the future of the base.
