This Uncle Mo is already 67 years old, but he looks very energetic. Although he is the one in charge of this trip, he stayed in the car during the journey, and when he took a break, he went directly to a designated rest area under the protection of his bodyguards.
Li Ke followed Mo Baoer most of the time and rarely saw this Uncle Mo come out to give any instructions.
He left all matters on the road to the Mo siblings to arrange, and seemed like an elder who didn't like to worry about anything.
"My great uncle looks a little aloof and doesn't like to talk to people, but in fact, he is like a fish in water and invincible in social occasions. I heard from my father that many of the company's business cooperation were won by my uncle. As long as my uncle took action, there was basically no business that could not be won. However, after my father took over the family, my great uncle retired not long after. I heard that in the resignation letter he submitted, he said that he didn't want to deal with others all the time and wanted to save some time for himself. Since my great uncle said so, my father couldn't keep him any longer, so he let him go." Mo Baoer sat in front of the fire and told Li Ke some old things.
Li Ke held an iron skewer in his hand, on which was stuck a palm-sized young chicken. This was a private item brought by Mo Baoer, and she took it out specially to share with Li Ke.
After the chicken was roasted, Li Ke tore off a chicken leg and handed the rest back to Mo Baoer: "Since your uncle is coming out again this time, it seems that your family takes this matter very seriously."
Mo Baoer nodded, "I do take it very seriously. I heard that the safest central area of the safety zone is the most confidential and important place, but for a family like us, we can't get in even if we get there. We latecomers can only choose our own place in the outer rings of the safety zone. The current situation is that we can't enter the central area, and we have to choose the best place closest to the central area as our future home. This major event related to the future development of the Mo family, only my brother and I are the first to fight, and we still can't let the clan rest assured."
Li Ke nodded as he looked at Mo Baoer who was eating chicken. She was indeed a little young, and it was not reassuring to have to deal with some old foxes to fight for territory.
The Mo family was one of the first groups to receive the news, and currently they still have a lot of choices, but I heard that there are more than a dozen people with the same or even stronger strength as the Mo family.
So even though the cake is big, there are many people competing for it. On the surface, they are negotiating, but secretly they still have to talk about contributions.
It took five days to travel, and we only stopped for one night to rest. Due to the bad road conditions, it took us seven days to reach the safe zone, and that was while we were traveling at full speed.
At the sentry post outside the safe zone, Mo Cheng, Mo Baoer and their men waited outside for more than two hours before a small car came along the rugged road to pick them up.
If it weren't for the sentry posts, the code words and the verified landmarks, many people who arrived here would not believe that this was the so-called safe zone.
Everything before my eyes was too desolate. Everywhere I looked were ruins and wilderness, with no trace of human beings at all.
In the distance, you can still see some sinkholes left over from natural disasters. This place was obviously abandoned after being destroyed several times and becoming unsustainable.
Mo Baoer and Li Ke, both wearing security uniforms and riding motorcycles, followed Mo Cheng and Uncle Mo's car on both sides, following the guide car and heading inside.
After more than two hours, it was almost dark and the car finally stopped at an abandoned highway service station, which was another checkpoint.
A man who called himself Captain Liu came out to receive them. He took everyone around the neighborhood, introduced the living functions of each area of the service station, and then let everyone do as they pleased.
The accommodation area is a three-story building with two to three large rooms and a very open hall on each floor. Each room has three rows of beds, ten beds in each row, and there is nothing on the bed except a mattress.
Uncle Mo and his group have booked this building. The only places that Li Ke and his group can move around in are the accommodation area, the leisure area, and the cafeteria. There are time limits for the cafeteria, and all charges are for food, gold, or other valuables.
Uncle Mo looked at the accommodation conditions and sighed, "We paid so much gold and thought we would be treated like state guests, but in the end... Alas, we have been wronged."
The people following Uncle Mo saw that he had already chosen a location and had someone set up the tent. They all said that they did not feel wronged and did not dare to feel wronged.
The person in charge has already chosen a place to stay in the house, so how dare his subordinates complain about any grievances?
Li Ke and Mo Baoer turned around to look at other rooms. Li Ke asked Mo Baoer curiously, "How much gold did we pay to rent this building?"
Mo Baoer's expression was a bit hard to describe: "Two hundred grams of gold, my father gave my uncle fifty kilograms to spend, so far, my uncle has only used two hundred grams."
Li Ke didn't see the problem: "The conditions are so bad, 200 grams is not a small amount."
Mo Baoer led Li Ke to the big window and pointed at two buildings in the distance: "The one with one kilogram of gold has everything, and there are special people to clean it. The one with five kilograms of gold not only has everything, but also has special relaxation services. I heard that there are even more expensive consumption areas further inside. The one that our uncle chose for us is the outermost and worst building."
Li Ke was stunned for a moment before he said, "Your uncle is a bit stingy. I was thinking of following him to broaden my horizons."
Mo Baoer laughed: "My uncle said that big money should be spent on steel blades. I also want to go in and see it for myself."
It was not until dinner time that Li Ke realized that they were still at the outermost edge of the safe zone and had to pass five checkpoints to reach the innermost reception area.
You have to stay at each checkpoint for one night before setting off the next day. None of them are free, and the prices get more expensive the further you go in.
Uncle Mo sat at a table with Mo Baoer and Mo Cheng. Mo Zuo, Li Ke and Uncle Mo's personal bodyguard were also there.
After explaining the news, Uncle Mo said earnestly, "When you are away from home, you have to be careful with everything. Each sentry post takes at least three days to travel, and at most five days. When you arrive at the sentry post, you have to rest and gather information. These are all expenses."
Mo Baoer and Mo Cheng both nodded in agreement, saying that their uncle had foresight.
Li Ke did not sleep on a bed, but also set up a tent for herself. She thought the window outside that Mo Baoer had shown her before was in a good location, so she chose to sleep by the window.
There were six women in the accompanying team. They chose a room to rest. Mo Baoer liked to be with Li Ke, so she didn't share a room with them. Instead, she found a tent and became Li Ke's neighbor.
Mo Baoer's identity on this trip was that of an ordinary accompanying staff member, and she was considered Uncle Mo's secretary. Many of his people knew her true identity, but they were all very careful not to spread it.
The tent was set up, but the two couldn't sleep yet, so they stood at the window, looking outside and chatting. Most of the time, Mo Baoer talked and Li Ke listened.
Suddenly Li Ke interrupted Mo Baoer, pointed down and said to her: "Look, is there anyone heading towards the high-end consumption area?"
Li Ke started staring at the figures as soon as they came out of the door, and only asked Mo Baoer after confirming their route.
Mo Baoer carefully looked at the figures in the night, and replied without realizing it: "Right, look at that direction, it's a high-end consumption area that we can't go to."
Li Ke asked Mo Baoer: "Don't you think those figures are familiar?"
Mo Baoer didn't see it, so she asked, "Is he someone you know?"
Li Ke handed her the telescope: "Take another look."
Mo Baoer took the telescope and looked again, gritting his teeth and staring: "Uncle lied to me again!"
Li Ke fanned the flames: "It's not good for him to be like this. I said I was here to train you guys, how can he eat alone?"
Mo Baoer stuffed the telescope back to Li Ke and said to her, "Come on, call Mo Cheng and Uncle Mo, and let's go and have a look."
