The base's top officials all expressed their appreciation and congratulations to Li Liguo for his outstanding contribution!

For a time, Li Liguo's name became a legend within the Spark Base.

His bravery and wisdom became a role model for everyone in the base.

Especially the lower-level staff members of the base, they regarded Li Liguo's deeds as a driving force to inspire them to move forward.

This instilled in them, those at the bottom, the belief that as long as they worked hard enough, they would surely rise above their circumstances, which motivated them to work even harder.

Although they risk their lives every day doing the hardest work, they are often hungry and cold.

But people stopped complaining and just thought they hadn't tried hard enough.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, our team moved four truckloads of supplies today, and it only took three hours longer than the usual two truckloads. It only took us less than 20 hours in total!" A transport team leader with a weathered face and calloused hands boasted to another team beside him while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Old Zhang, your team is really pushing themselves too hard! Although our team wasn't as extreme as yours, we still moved one more truckload of supplies than yesterday, a total of 3 truckloads, and it took 18 hours." The captain of the other team replied with a smile.

"Old Zhao, you guys are not good enough. Since you can't keep up with our speed, you should work on your time!" Old Zhang laughed and patted the other man on the shoulder. "If you spend a little more time, you can catch up with us in terms of quantity."

"This..." Old Zhao's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it. At this rate, we won't even have time to rest. How can we possibly withstand this?"

Old Zhang said with a serious face, "Old Zhao, we're working so hard now so that we can have a slightly better life in the base. Li Liguo is also the captain of the transport team, so why is he valued by the higher-ups? Isn't it because he dares to fight? This world has always been fair. If we don't work hard enough, we will never be able to change our fate." Old Zhang's words were filled with a sense of determination and a hope for the future.

Old Zhao was silent for a moment after hearing this, then slowly nodded, a determined look flashing in his eyes: "Old Zhang, you're right. We can't always complain about the unfairness of life; instead, we should be like Li Liguo and change our destiny with practical actions. From today onwards, I will also lead my team to work even harder and strive to make a name for ourselves in the base as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he shouted to the team members who were eating porridge not far away: "Brothers, hurry up and finish your meal, let's work harder and try to move another truckload of supplies today!"

"Huh~?" Everyone looked at Old Zhao in disbelief upon hearing this.

"Captain, it's already past midnight. If we move another truckload, it'll probably be dawn by then," a team member said wearily, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao's gaze hardened, and his tone became firm and powerful: "I know everyone has worked hard, but think about our past lives, and then think about how we now have the opportunity to change our destiny. Are we going to give up? Li Liguo is our role model because he never gives up and dares to challenge the limits. We can't fall behind either; we must fight for our future!"

The team members were deeply moved by Lao Zhao's words. They recalled Li Liguo's story, how he rose from a lowly transport worker to the attention of higher-ups, and how he was destined for great things.

At that moment, they seemed to be inspired by an invisible force, and their tired bodies were revitalized.

"Captain, you're right! We can't give up, we have to work hard for our future!" one team member shouted, raising his arm, and the other team members responded one after another, their morale soaring.

"Damn it, let's give it our all! Let's work through the night tonight and keep going tomorrow!" Old Zhao clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Alright! Brothers, let's go all out tonight, work through the night, and keep up the good work tomorrow! As long as we work together, no difficulty can stop us from moving forward!"

Old Zhao's team members quickly finished their porridge and licked the bottom of the bowls clean. Then they pushed and pulled their sleds toward the supply collection point.

Their task was to load the supplies collected by the supply teams from various locations onto trucks, then haul them back to the base by human-powered sleds and unload them.

It sounds simple, but you should know that it's over -70 degrees Celsius outside right now. Even wearing professional cold-weather gear, ordinary people can't stand it outside, let alone traveling tens or hundreds of kilometers back and forth.

Moreover, low-level transport workers like them at the base couldn't even afford a decent cotton-padded coat, let alone a winter coat.

In addition, the daily food supply consisted only of low-quality porridge, and the body's energy supply was insufficient. This led to a situation where every breath they took in the extremely harsh environment felt like a race against death, and every step forward was accompanied by biting cold and a challenge to the limits of their bodies.

It's fair to say that every day, members of the transport teams die outside.

But what does it matter?

In such an apocalyptic environment, ordinary people have no survival skills at all. If they want to survive, they can only depend on various forces. If you don't do it, there are plenty of others who will.

In this post-apocalyptic world where resources are scarce, the one thing that is not lacking is labor.

Those who can stay in the transport team must possess extraordinary abilities.

Take Chen Yu in his previous life, for example. He worked in the transport team of the Fire Seed Base for three whole years. What a miracle that is!

He's worked in the same transportation team as many others, but there have been several batches of people who have changed jobs since then.
