The Qin and Chen families had moved into the villa area a day earlier. Li Ke went out with the law enforcement team today mainly to ensure the safety of the disaster victims and to escort the remaining disaster victims into the city and take them to the arranged accommodation area.

Xiao Yi then led two teams to recruit the Qin family's security forces left outside, and to reorganize and redeploy them as needed.

There are about 3,000 disaster victims. The shelter arranged 20 trucks to pick them up and bring them into the city. These 20 trucks will definitely not be able to accommodate everyone at once. Priority will be given to the injured, the elderly and children who have difficulty moving.

Those who couldn't get a ride followed the convoy into the city, and were then reassigned to ride when the convoy returned.

After receiving the disaster victims, Li Ke and his fellow law enforcement officers were all forced off the vehicle and, following orders from their superiors, dispersed to both sides of the disaster victim procession, keeping a close watch on the procession's progress and any potential accidents.

Every law enforcement officer is equipped with a firearm, and Li Ke is now a person who rightfully owns his own firearm.

Although it wasn't snowing, the biting wind made it difficult to travel.

The truck, now full of people, left. After dropping off those people, the truck would come back again to pick up any more disaster victims who couldn't hold on any longer and take them to shelters.

Li Ke and the other disaster victims they were escorting were all in very poor conditions, and they had reduced their possessions as much as possible.

Among the disaster victims, many were pushing bicycles to carry their belongings, which somewhat eased their burden.

Although Xiao Yi described the conditions and benefits of the law enforcement team as excellent, and said that Li Ke would not be subject to any supervision and would be given a great deal of freedom, Li Ke's days in the law enforcement team were anything but easy. In addition to the regular training of the law enforcement team members, she was constantly patrolling inside and outside the shelter, with an activity level more than ten times that of an ordinary person.

Under such extreme weather conditions, people's resilience and endurance are severely tested. Many people in the law enforcement team who could not persevere were transferred to the internal security team, where their conditions and benefits also declined.

But those who can stay in the law enforcement team are ultimately elite members with amazing physical strength. Li Ke has been getting beaten up by them a lot lately.

This is partly because Li Ke deliberately hides her true abilities; she tries to appear strong, but not too strong.

Li Ke also benefited greatly from practicing with these teammates, and felt that he had made a lot of progress.

The law enforcement team members were all dressed in light black winter clothing, complete with hats, masks, and goggles—all the necessary protective gear. Although their attire looked very simple compared to the heavily dressed disaster victims.

But they moved slowly alongside the disaster victims, constantly keeping an eye on their surroundings. When some of the victims collapsed, they had to carry them on their backs.

So they didn't stay in the cold wind for long before they broke out in a thin layer of sweat. The sweat immediately turned cold and clung to their skin, a truly unpleasant feeling.

By the time they finished all their work and returned to the team for the handover, five hours had passed. The night and the snow reflected each other, and although it was night, visibility was not greatly affected.

When Li Ke and his group returned to their accommodation building, two more trucks drove back, with white cloths hanging from their headlights, indicating that the two trucks were carrying all the dead disaster victims.

The bodies of these disaster victims will be sent to the morgue at the shelter. If the families of these deceased disaster victims request that they be buried now, they need to provide the shelter with a labor subsidy of 20 work points.

If these family members donate the bodies to the shelter, they can receive a subsidy of twenty work points.

Of course, if these people want to wait until spring to bury their family members themselves, they can do so, but they have to pay a storage fee of ten work points, and they don't know if they will come in spring.

As the car passed by, the entire law enforcement team stood aside in silent tribute, watching them gradually disappear into the distance.

It wasn't until Xiao Yi waved for everyone to disperse and go home that the group dispersed in small groups.

Li Ke naturally walked with Xia Qing and Meng Yu, with Xiao Yi following beside them.

Meng Yu said excitedly from the side, "Deputy Captain Jian sent someone to tell us that we can go straight to his house for hot pot after we get back. We've been out in the cold wind all day, so being able to have hot pot tonight is just too good to be true! Deputy Captain Jian is such a kind person!"

Xia Qing also laughed and said, "Luckily we have Deputy Captain Jian, a real prince. With him in our law enforcement team, we really benefit a lot."

Li Ke sighed inwardly. She had everything she needed and didn't want to benefit from this.

Although it might be a bit of a downer, she still said, "Then you guys go together. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest as soon as possible."

"Don't be like that! You know how hard it is to get a hot pot meal these days! This is a precious opportunity that you might not get another chance to eat it. Why not take advantage of this bargain? Li Ke, you need to work on your thick skin and learn from your sister and me," Xia Yu advised from the side.

Li Ke really didn't want to go. All she wanted to do was go back home, wash up properly, sit on her big bed surrounded by her dogs, watch TV, and eat whatever she wanted. That was true happiness!

Xiao Yi walked silently beside her. He sensed that Li Ke really didn't want to go, so he said to Xia Qing and Meng Yu, "You two are in such a hurry, why don't you go ahead? Li Ke and I still have some things to talk about."

Xia Qing and Meng Yu exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, then held hands and said goodbye to Li Ke before hurrying back home.

Li Ke naturally noticed their mutual attraction. Jian Ye's voice in the hallway that day was quite loud, and many people on the same floor heard it, so they assumed that Xiao Yi was interested in her.
