Upon seeing Li Ke, he became very excited: "Brother, I knew you wouldn't forget us. We had been trying to contact you, but we hadn't received any response. We were worried that something might have happened to you. Seeing that you're alright, I'm relieved."
The radio had been kept in the spatial storage and hadn't been taken out, so Song Xian naturally couldn't contact her.
Li Ke told the others to rest for a while, and then took Song Xian aside to find out what was going on.
Previously, Song Xian and Qiu Feng had discussed relocating, but they hadn't considered joining the safe zone. Now that they've changed their minds, something must have happened.
Song Xian sighed before saying, "We haven't been settled in a new place for long, but we keep hearing the sound of artillery fire in the distance, and it also causes earthquakes and disturbances from time to time. There have been multiple evacuation notices on the radio. After discussing it with Brother Qiu, we decided to come and take a look. There are still many things that need to be done at the new base. If we decide to move here, we've decided to abandon our home there and rebuild our homes here."
Li Ke asked Song Xian about the amount of supplies he could offer for bidding. After hearing Song Xian's answer, Li Ke frowned slightly. It was too little. If they were lucky, they could enter the eighth or ninth ring, but they might not be able to enter and would have to occupy territory outside the safe zone on their own.
But Li Ke also knew that Song Xian and Qiu Feng were essentially self-made proletarians, and their self-sufficiency was the result of their own efforts. Compared to those powerful families with real strength and influence, they had already done very well.
There can never be fairness in this world. Just like bidding now, those with capital will naturally choose the safest and best positions, while those without capital can only be cannon fodder on the periphery.
Li Ke explained the reserve prices for various land bids to Song Xian. Song Xian wasn't too disappointed. He replied optimistically, "We came here to see if we could squeeze in. Even if we can't, it's not bad to have a place outside. With the mountains behind us, we can feel somewhat safe."
Song Xian's words weren't entirely wrong, but since they were already there, Li Ke believed that no matter how big or small the place was, they should at least secure a place within it.
