Li Ke brought the unconscious Chen Qi and Shui Qing to the mountain, but did not take them into her own base. Instead, she took them to an underground defense point she had just completed.

Shuiqing still had her head and mouth covered, and was tied up very tightly by Li Ke and thrown into a solid wooden box with an iron frame. The people from Qiufeng said that this woman was a bit cunning, so they should be careful.

As for Chen Qi, Li Ke tied him to a wooden frame and looked at him carefully. He was taller than before. If his back wasn't hunched, he would look even taller.

His face has become much rougher and his skin color is now darker, but his overall body looks much stronger. His hair covers his forehead and he has a large beard on his face. He is really a different person from before.

It seems that this kid didn’t have a good life before. Now that he has returned to China, Li Zhenzhen and Chen Jiaojiao should have come back as well, right?

But Li Ke didn't know Shui Qing. The report given by Niu Dazhuang said that Shui Qing and Chen Qi stole the parasitic eggs from the laboratory to cause trouble. Shui Qing said that she was sent by the boss to do the task. Lin Shuang's statement was that they stole things without the boss's knowledge.

Qiu Feng has already sent some brothers down the mountain to the city shelter to stir up trouble, hoping to find some new clues about the boss.

The out-of-work base is now only used to isolate and detain the newly arrived disaster victims. The people sent by the boss include the group of bandits, Lin Nuo, Lin Shuang, Shui Qing and Chen Qi. Qiu Feng and the others have also captured some other prisoners.

Under severe interrogation, several people died, but all that was left was an abandoned empty stronghold. This person acted more cautiously than her. What Li Ke is more interested in now is whether Li Zhenzhen and Chen Jiaojiao are also among them?

Thinking of this, she whipped the unconscious Chen Qi. The guy trembled in pain and slowly opened his eyes.

The Mo family's former shelter no longer received any news or assistance during the last three months of the cold winter. It was as if it had been abandoned. The remaining 800,000 people in the shelter could only rely on the Mo family's supplies.

This made the Mo family members increasingly dissatisfied. The environment was so bad now, and the situation would get worse in the future. Food and supplies would be difficult to regenerate in a short period of time. Under such circumstances, it would definitely not be possible to ask them to selflessly feed so many people.

At the family meeting, everyone suggested that Mo Qing abandon some useless people, but Mo Qing did not agree: "We have persisted for so long, the weather has warmed up, and the cold winter will be over in another month. If we drive them out now, it will undoubtedly force them to die, and all the efforts we made before will be in vain."

One of the clan uncles objected, "We have to do what we can. We are doing this now to stop losses. You know, we have to support more than 800,000 people, not 8,000 or 80,000!"

Mo Qing still shook his head: "We have asked professionals to take a look. The terrain in our area is not high enough. The melting snow and rainy season that will appear later will have a greater impact on this place. When it gets warmer in a few days, we will send people out to collect all the available materials nearby and transfer them again. When the time comes, a lot of people will be needed.

We will wait until our own base is built and then formulate a new system. At that time, those who cannot accept it will leave on their own, and those who can accept it will become people who create benefits for us. We can still bear the current losses for the time being."

Everyone also knew that they had chosen to stay here temporarily because a cold wave was approaching. If they did not settle down immediately, more people would freeze to death. Moreover, at that time, they would be provided with material assistance and management qualifications.

The fact that the Mo family has been able to maintain prosperity for nearly three hundred years is inseparable from their long-term vision, so they took over this business without any hesitation. But now, all the people above have lost contact, and they have a lot of family branches and in-laws. No matter how selfless they are, they have to take care of their own people first.

Seeing that Mo Qing had his own ideas and that many people chose to support him, the clan uncle stopped talking. In fact, he knew that what Mo Qing said made sense, but he felt a little sad when he thought about having to give away so much food and feed some unrelated people.

The head of the Mo family has absolute control. Even if all the family members oppose it, as long as the head of the family has not lost all the assets to only 5%, no one can make a decision without the head of the family.

Currently, although the regeneration capacity of the Mo family's assets has been greatly reduced, it is still a long way to go before it is reduced to only 5%.

After the meeting, Mo Qing dealt with some documents and made some work arrangements before rushing home after get off work. Xiao Yue's health has been getting worse recently, so Mo Qing tries to finish his work as early as possible every day and then go home to accompany his wife.

Xiao Yue's body seemed to be at the end of its rope. In the past half month, she had always been drowsy all day. She was considered in good spirits if she could stay awake for one hour a day.

Her daughter wanted to stay with her all the time, but Xiao Yue didn't want her to spend all her time on her patient, which would be a waste of time and effort, and she insisted that her daughter do her job well and come to see her after get off work.

His son Mo Cheng was even more opinionated. Two months ago, he followed his teacher and an expedition team to find a new place to serve as their future base.

When Xiao Yue woke up, the light in the bedroom was soft. Her husband Mo Qing was sitting beside her, writing and drawing on something on the small work table. Xiao Yue's throat was itchy and she couldn't help coughing. When Mo Qing heard his wife's voice, he quickly stopped what he was doing, got up and sat down beside her bed.

"You're awake. Do you want to drink some water? Is there anything you want to eat?" Mo Qing touched his wife's forehead and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yue moved her body, and Mo Qing knew that she wanted to sit up, so he quickly reached out to hold her and put the pillow against the head of the bed so that his wife could sit comfortably.

After Xiao Yue sat back, she coughed uncomfortably for a while before shaking her head and said weakly, "I ate a lot at noon, and now I still feel bloated. Don't mention food to me anymore."

Mo Qing smiled and said, "Okay, then don't eat it. I'll pour you some water. You can drink a little to moisten your body."

Xiao Yue took a sip of water from Mo Qing's hand and pushed it away: "The water has become bitter. I really want to end this kind of life quickly."

Mo Qing did not respond to his wife's words, but Xiao Yue knew that her words had saddened her husband. She cheered herself up and said, "I really feel it's too hard and I'm so tired. I haven't seen the sky outside for a long time. Mo Qing, if I really fall asleep and never wake up, don't be sad. I'm just ending the pain."

Mo Qing: "Don't talk about this. When the weather gets warmer, your condition will get better. You can stay outside as long as you want."

Xiao Yue stared at Mo Qing for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You look so much like my dad now. I still remember when we first got together, you were always silent. I think Chengcheng is just like you."

Mo Qing held his wife's hand: "Do you miss Mo Cheng? I'll ask someone to ask him to come back to see you."

Xiao Yue shook her head: "No, you just need to have someone protect him. If he likes to work outside, let him do it. With him in my thoughts, I may be able to wait for a few more days."

Mo Qing felt depressed: "Why do you always say these things? If you are tired, just sleep for a while, I will accompany you."

Xiao Yue was worried and didn't want to sleep, so she asked again, "Did you find Mo Wei? Did you get any news back?"

Mo Wei is a nephew of Mo Qing. Two months ago, when he was out on a collection mission, he left the team and disappeared. Two teenagers and a bodyguard also disappeared with him. After this incident, the clan was in an uproar for a while.

Mo Qing: "No, it's been so long and there's still no news. The result can't be good."

There was still a vast expanse of snow outside, and it would snow occasionally. Mo Wei, the nephew, was used to being domineering. One day, he said that he saw a snow wolf halfway up the mountain, and forced the other three people to go up the mountain with him to find the snow wolf. Since then, the four people have never appeared again.

Xiao Yue is particularly concerned about this matter because her son is always walking outside. If there is any danger outside, she will definitely be worried.

There is another reason. Among the missing people, there was a teenager named Li Zhenzhen’s son Chen Qi. Baoer said that Li Zhenzhen fainted after hearing that her son was missing, and ran outside to look for him after waking up.

Naturally, nothing was found and the person became seriously ill. Her daughter Chen Jiaojiao was worried that something might happen to her if she was alone, so she took her to the central area and let her live in her and Mo Ze's home.

Li Zhenzhen came to see her despite her illness. She had nothing else to ask except to ask them to tell her any news when they sent people to look for her. Xiao Yue was also a mother, and she couldn't bear to see her haggard appearance, so she naturally agreed.
