In the capital, the black stone brought back by the guards was sent directly to the research lab.
Li Sikai wanted to take a look, but the stone was too big and inconvenient to move to the ward.
Unfortunately, all I can do is look at the photos to ease my regret.
The spiritual spring water that Shen Yanming sent has been used, and Li Sikai is in good spirits lately, able to get up and walk around.
Li Zongmengguan also secretly complained to Li Sikai: "They clearly have good stuff, but they're still hiding it. If we hadn't brought it up this time, believe me, they would still be keeping it from you!"
Li Sikai wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile, "If I were him, I would have done the same. Uncle, Yanming has already done a good job. Believe it or not, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have helped in the first place."
After hearing this, General Li nodded, his serious face breaking into a hearty laugh. "Yes, everyone has selfish motives. As long as he can protect you, what does it matter if he tries to cover it up? I'll still be his protector. Don't worry, your uncle isn't ungrateful!"
"Yes, I know!" Li Sikai nodded, picked up the cup, and took a sip of the spiritual spring honey water.
Feeling a wave of comfort wash over him, he took out a cup of brewed pomelo tea from his spatial storage and handed it to Chief Alliance Officer Li: "Want to try some?"
After learning that Shen Yanming could provide these things, General Li was no longer so nervous. He took a sip and found the sweet and sour taste irresistible.
Most importantly, the tea made his body feel very comfortable, and it also relieved a lot of his anxiety over the past few days.
"Looks like I can get a good night's sleep tonight!" After saying that, General Li couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
Li Sikai nodded, somewhat relieved that he had befriended Shen Yanming in the past.

Time flew by, and half a month later, Haishi had finally finished digging all the dugouts and caves.
Everyone came out of the tent and moved into their new home.
Although it's a bit damp, it blocks the wind. Plus, five out of six sides are solid, which makes me feel safer than sleeping in a tent.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took some time to send a batch of grain to Sidaoshan. This time, the supplies were plentiful, including rice, flour, dried fruit, and dried vegetables. There were even dozens of pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Wen Chaohui was overjoyed when he found out, but he still kept the news to himself and only asked the cafeteria to add an extra meal.
Everyone was unaware of the base's spoils, only marveling at the generosity of the Alliance Officer Wen. After finishing their meal in high spirits, they went back to rest.
It's cold now, and there's not much to do outside. Plus, the last earthquake buried many people's belongings. The base has waived credit points and started distributing meals free of charge. This saves the survivors the trouble of cooking for themselves.
Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan, and An'an Nuannuan would go to collect their meals every day, and they would eat them all.
However, this amount of food was not enough for their family of four, so Bi Qiaoan secretly prepared extra food for them.
I always go into my room when I sleep at night. I'm afraid of getting rheumatism.
To this end, Shen Yanming also specially made some plasters and sent them to several familiar households.
Of course, Wen Chaohui, Su Sibin, Ming Jiakang, Liang Huaxin, Ye Wengui, and other key members of the base were also present.
They also gave Jiang Shulian a prescription, which was said to dispel the cold from the body.
The prescription clearly lists the medicinal herbs and their dosages; anyone who recognizes the herbs can prepare it.
He originally wanted the base guards to make it, but Jiang Shulian said, "Why don't you just prepare the medicine packets yourself?" It would save him the trouble of finding someone familiar with traditional Chinese medicine.
Shen Yanming did not refuse and went directly to the supply warehouse to weigh out and prepare the medicinal herbs.
Since he was alone, he also used some tricks, replacing several precious medicinal herbs to enhance the efficacy of the medicine.
They worked for over ten days before stopping. After handing the medicine packet to Jiang Shulian and instructing him to brew it three times a day for the survivors, they left.
After that, I didn't pay much attention to the base anymore. I spent my days either in the space with my wife, son, and daughter, or wandering around outside.
Until one day, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the base.
Qin Yuncheng saw Li Gangtie from afar, ran over and hugged him tightly, crying, "Old buddy, we've been through so much, we've come all this way to come to you!"
Li Gangtie was completely bewildered: "Whahaha, what is that?"
Qin Yuncheng was too busy feigning tears to answer him. After a long while, he finally said, "Where is Alliance Officer Wen? We're looking for him!"
Li Gangtie rubbed his slicked-back hair, looking puzzled: "Why are you looking for him?"
"I'm coming to join you! Our base in Suzhou is gone, and after discussing it, we all felt there was no point in rebuilding it, so we came to you guys!"
Li Gangtie finally understood and said in a terrified voice, "...Brother, our base is out of food too!"
Qin Yuncheng looked unconvinced, raised his hand and touched his chest with the back of his hand, lowering his voice to say, "Brother, don't deny it. Haishi has grain, and several surrounding cities know that. You can't just deny it like that!"
After Qin Yuncheng finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow at Li Gangtie.
Li Gangtie was speechless. He thought to himself, how could he not know whether the base had food or not? Even if it did... there wasn't much!
"Alright, alright, take me to see Lord Wen. You can't make the decision no matter how much I tell you."
Li Gangtie nodded and stopped arguing with him. He led his men to the base's office, saw a guard, waved to him, whispered a few words to him, and the guard ran off.
"What, are you going to tip off Wen Mengguan?" Qin Yuncheng asked with a smile.
Li Gangtie didn't mind his teasing and nodded seriously: "Yeah, it's your fault for coming uninvited."
Qin Yuncheng scoffed, "You think I wanted to? If it weren't for the volcanic eruption in Suzhou that flooded half the city, would I have bothered coming here to cause trouble?"
Li Gangtie was startled by this and quickly asked, "Is there a volcano in Su City? What are the casualties?"
"No!" Qin Yuncheng shook his head: "I've never heard of it before, but it just erupted. What can we do? Luckily, the mountain is quite far from the base, and the lava flow stopped after about five kilometers."
Only a few base residents who had gone out perished. Fortunately, most of the base's forces survived.
Li Gangtie fell silent, feeling a pang of sadness. He asked in a low voice, "When did this happen?"
Qin Yuncheng gave a time. Li Gangtie was shocked to discover that it coincided with the earthquake in Haishi. It seemed the earthquake was related to the volcanic eruption in Sushi!
The two chatted as they talked, and soon they were invited into the tent.
Qin Yuncheng briefly explained his request, and Wen Chaohui remained silent after listening.
Frankly, he didn't want to cause himself trouble. He was already struggling to manage the people in Haishi; adding another base would overwhelm the mountain. And food was also a major problem.
But given the current situation, he couldn't bear to refuse. Suzhou had already suffered a major disaster; if they were rejected on top of that, how desperate would those people be?
Wen Chaohui sighed and asked, "How did you find us?"
