When Li Ke returned to the guest room, Mo Bao'er heard the noise and came out from next door. She walked up to Li Ke with a smile, and Li Ke opened the door without chasing her away. She then followed him into the room.
"You're not angry with the Mo family, are you?" These were the first words Mo Bao'er said as she sat down.
Li Ke shook his head: "It's just a difference in stance, but if the Mo family really goes against us in the future, then we will definitely retaliate."
Mo Bao'er shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, if that day ever comes, I will definitely leave the Mo family and support you."
Li Ke laughed and retorted, "Do you think I would believe that?"
Mo Bao'er smiled and said earnestly, "You are my brother's savior, and I will never let us stand on the opposite side of enemies."
Although Li Ke was Mo Cheng's savior, Mo Bao'er became closer to Li Ke after learning that Li Ke was actually a woman.
In Mo Bao'er's eyes, she admired and liked Li Ke in every way, and she had no intention of becoming enemies with him.
"Did your great-uncle say anything?" Li Ke asked.
Mo Bao'er's smile faded, and she replied to Li Ke, "My great-uncle said that you can stop it this time, but you can't stop it next time. Whether you can stay out of it depends on the final ability of your base."
Li Ke's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this: "I don't believe you'll invite us again next time?"
Mo Bao'er gave Li Ke a thumbs up: "You're absolutely right."
Over the next two days, Song Xian and Chen Na engaged in some superficial friendly exchanges with the bases that had chosen autonomy. These people's stance was not actually very firm, and Song Xian's campaigning was merely a temporary measure.
These people may very well overturn their current stance in the future, so Song Xian and his group are only maintaining a superficial relationship with them for now. Their Qiushan base's goal is simply that unregulated agreement.
During this time, Song Yuquan fell ill, reportedly from a cold. When Song Xian and Chen Na went to visit him, they were invited in, but did not see the patient.
Li Ke and Song Xian would spend some time outside in the morning and evening. They encountered unidentified people who tried to attack them twice, but they fought back fiercely. After those two incidents, no one bothered them anymore.
Because those people were beaten so badly that they were crippled, the sentries couldn't do anything about it. Since it was a private brawl, no one reported it, and no one complained.
After this incident, the winter passed peacefully. As the ice and snow began to melt, the bitter beans and wheat that Niu Dazhuang and Song Xian had planted were ready for their second harvest.
Of the existing 10,000 people, Niu Dazhuang and Song Xian each selected 1,000 to train. Those who passed the training could join the base's guard team.
Li Ke and the others originally wanted to wait a little longer, until the snow and ice receded and the roads became easier to travel, before sending out a convoy to pick up the remaining people from the Qiushan base.
But before they could make any arrangements, distress signals came in from all over the country. The larger bases were doing well, as they had their own armed forces and could put up some resistance, but the smaller bases were finding it very difficult to hold out.
These enemies appeared out of nowhere; many of them looked like people from small border countries, and there were also some other tall people mixed in.
The situation at Qiushan Base is currently relatively stable, and Qiufeng has also put on full defensive status after receiving notification from Li Ke and his team.
Li Ke immediately began arranging manpower, vehicles, and supplies to prepare for the trip to pick up the people. In the past few days, squadrons of fighter jets have been flying out from the core area, heading towards the various directions where the incidents occurred.
This time, Li Ke and Niu Dazhuang led the team to pick up the people, while Song Xian, Chen Na and Qiu Shisan stayed behind at the safe zone base.
The drivers for the fleet had already been selected and trained. All the trucks, vans, buses, and wreckers together formed a large fleet of two hundred vehicles.
These cars are just the tip of the iceberg of Li Ke's spatial collection, but even so, their convoy is already quite conspicuous.
Meanwhile, Qiu Feng also selected some people to transfer the first team, based on the situation.
Niu Dazhuang and his men guarded the front of the vehicle, while Li Ke and his men guarded the rear. The weather was still very cold, the road conditions were poor, and the convoy's speed was significantly limited.
On the third day of their journey, the convoy encountered many people fleeing from disaster. Li Ke and his team would drop off some supplies as needed and point them in the direction of the safe zone, but they would not do anything else.
If anyone has malicious intent and tries to rob their convoy, they will be shot immediately.
Land rescue troops have also been dispatched from the core area. As long as there is food, these people can hold on a little longer and they will definitely be rescued.
During the journey, there were often squadrons of aircraft flying overhead, and occasionally the sound of artillery fire could be heard from afar.
A month later, Li Ke's convoy was only three days away from Qiushan Base, but so far, Li Ke's men had not encountered the first group of people who had set off to transfer.
They had communicated their departure routes, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they were bound to meet on the road. But clearly, that team had lost contact.
Niu Dazhuang reported the anomaly to the safety zone rescue team via radio. This team had more than 8,000 people, and the flight team should be able to find it easily.
Qiu Feng had been waiting at the base for a long time. Ever since he learned that the more than 8,000 people and Li Ke and his group had failed to make contact, Qiu Feng's anxiety had grown day by day.
However, he could not act rashly. He still had more than 60,000 men here, and there was the sound of artillery fire in the distance every day. They might hit him at any time.
