Chapter 757: Walking out of the lifeboat



They decided to step forward, and in that instant, an invisible force seemed to erupt from them. Xiao Yi, his gaze blazing, took the lead, taking firm steps. Behind him, the members of Team Beidou followed closely, their strides steady and powerful. Xiao Yi declared, "We cannot allow this chaos to continue. We must restore order to the base!" His voice, resonant and powerful, echoed throughout the empty base, startling those still fighting. Team members quickly dispersed. Some stepped into the crowd, arms outstretched, using their bodies to block the conflict, shouting, "Stop! We must face this together!" Their voices, imbued with authority, gradually calmed the impulsive crowd. Others began clearing obstacles from the path, moving fallen equipment and debris to clear a path for restoring order. Their arms strained with effort, sweat dripping down like rain, but their hands never faltered. Xiao Yi personally communicated with representatives from all sides of the base, listening to their demands and concerns, and soothing them with sincere words and firm promises. "We will work together to revitalize the base and allow everyone to live a stable life!" His eyes were filled with anticipation and encouragement, rekindling hope in the people's hearts. Thanks to their efforts, the chaotic situation gradually came under control, and people began to put aside their conflicts and join the reconstruction efforts. The members of the Beidou team toiled tirelessly, their presence becoming a reassuring presence in the base. Every effort, every small step forward, fueled hope in the people. They firmly believed that with perseverance, the base would eventually return to its former order and prosperity.

"As long as we unite as one, we can surely revitalize the base." Xiao Yi stood high, waving his arms vigorously, loudly encouraging everyone. His voice was firm and powerful, resonating like a bell in everyone's ears. Xiao Yi's eyes shone with a fiery light, a light filled with confidence and expectation, piercing deep into the hearts of the people, dispelling their inner haze and hesitation. "Look around us. Although it is in ruins now, it is only temporary!" His voice trembled slightly with excitement, with a strong desire for the future. "As long as we have a united mind and a united strength, nothing can stop us from moving forward!" Xiao Yi's chest heaved violently, as if the flames burning within him threatened to burst forth. "We have overcome countless difficulties together before, and this time will be no exception!" Every word he said was like a bombshell, stirring up a thousand waves in the hearts of the people. "Unite, friends! Let us work together and rebuild our home with our own hands!" Xiao Yi's voice echoed over the base for a long time. People raised their heads and looked at Xiao Yi's passionate and powerful figure. Sparks of hope rekindled in their eyes, and an unprecedented strength and determination surged in their hearts.

However, the road to reconstruction was paved with thorns and filled with unimaginable hardships. Initially, the extreme scarcity of resources stood like an insurmountable mountain before them. Finding usable materials became incredibly difficult; every intact brick and stone, every undamaged piece of wood, was as rare and precious as a treasure. To gather sufficient supplies, they had to search every corner, even the most dangerous places deep within the ruins. A lack of technology was another major challenge. Once-mastered skills had become rusty during the disaster, and much of the most advanced equipment was damaged beyond repair, forcing them to rely on primitive methods and tools. Each simple task required many times more time and effort, making progress incredibly slow and frustrating. The shortage of manpower further compounded the problem. Injured team members were unable to participate in the reconstruction efforts, and those who remained were on the verge of physical and mental collapse from the constant fatigue and stress. Yet, despite this, they dared not slack off and persevered, gritting their teeth. The weather often caused trouble. Sometimes strong winds blew away the temporary facilities they had painstakingly built; sometimes torrential rains poured down, destroying the roads and fortifications they had just built. Every natural disaster made their efforts go to waste, and everything had to be started all over again. External doubts and internal conflicts also emerged from time to time. Some began to doubt the possibility of reconstruction, and some had disputes over uneven distribution. These voices and conflicts were like invisible hands, pulling at their steps forward, making the road to reconstruction even more rugged and bumpy. But even so, Xiao Yi, the Beidou team, and those who held on to hope, still did not give up. In this difficult start, they trudged forward step by step.

The shortage of supplies was a cause for concern. Warehouses were bare, and the meager reserves were rapidly dwindling, making every grain precious. Medical supplies were scarce, making even a simple bandage or a bottle of disinfectant a precious commodity. Building materials were nearly depleted, and there was insufficient bricks, stone, and lumber to repair damaged buildings and facilities. The demoralization of the people exacerbated the situation. Confusion and despair filled their eyes, and the unity and faith they once held gradually crumbled in the face of adversity. Some began to complain about the unfairness of fate, some chose to escape, and some even considered leaving the base to survive on their own. Arguments and conflicts arose, and the once harmonious atmosphere was shattered. But Xiao Yi and his team remained undeterred. They resolutely took one step at a time, starting with the most basic tasks. Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the base, Xiao Yi led his team out to search for supplies. They searched every corner of the surrounding area, even abandoned houses and barren fields, leaving no stone unturned, searching for any possible useful items. Finding even a few worn planks or rusty nails brought them a sense of relief. They reclaimed the land of their base, cultivating the wasteland and trying to grow crops. The hoes in their hands were heavy, but they moved without hesitation, sowing hope into the soil again and again.

At the same time, they actively organized everyone to communicate and listen to everyone's voice, and worked hard to resolve contradictions and conflicts. They used sincerity and action to reunite people's hearts and let everyone understand that only by unity can they survive in this difficult environment. Although every step is full of hardships and every effort may not see obvious results, Xiao Yi and his team never gave up and moved forward firmly towards the goal of rebuilding the base.

"Take your time, it will get better." Xiao Yi's voice was a little hoarse, but full of warmth and strength. His eyes swept over each tired but determined teammate, full of encouragement and comfort. The team members looked at each other, and those bloodshot eyes were now shining with hope. Their hands were tightly clasped together, conveying strength and determination.
