After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately

The convoy traveled for eight days before it met up with the walking team. Moreover, there were many people following the team of 3,000 people, and a rough estimate showed that the total number was close to 7,000.

The leader of these three thousand people is Qiu Shisan. Leading three thousand people on a long walk is not an easy task. Although these three thousand people are all selected strong and the weather outside is suitable, the air pollution is serious and they have to sleep in the wild, so there are actually many hidden dangers.

In their walking team, there is also a bicycle team of 500 people. These bicycle teams not only carry some daily necessities, but also play the role of exploring the way, defense, and vigilance.

Of course, it was impossible for this bicycle team alone to carry all the supplies. A large amount of supplies had to be carried by people on foot using carts, with nearly a hundred carts, all relying on manpower.

Although the conditions were a bit difficult, it was not too difficult as everyone worked together.

"The people who followed us were also those we met on the road. They behaved fairly well. More than 800 of them were driven out of a base. The leader of their base didn't want to go to the safe zone and didn't have the ability to support too many people, so he drove them out.

The remaining 2,000 people also gathered together in scattered groups. They all had the same direction, to go to the safe zone, so they came together. We have our own escort team, weapons, and we are the largest group, so many people want to attach themselves to us, and they have good intentions.

I thought they had no ill intentions and were going to the safe zone, so I didn't drive them away, lest we spread a bad reputation before we even get to the safe zone, which would have a bad impact." Qiu Shisan saw Li Jia staring at those outsiders, so he stood beside him and explained in detail.

After listening to Qiu Shisan's words, Li Ke asked directly: "You want to help these people. If we temporarily recruit them, can you suppress them?"

Li Ke didn't have much dealings with Qiu Shisan, but he had met him several times and knew that he was also a very trusted and capable brother of Qiu Feng.

Qiu Shisan is not very old, just twenty-three, a little short, and has a childish face. If it weren't for his dark skin, strong muscles, and his deliberately frowning face, it would be difficult to convince others based on his appearance.

Hearing Li Jia's question, Qiu Shisan blinked and quickly replied, "Of course, the three thousand I brought will listen to me and recruit those outsiders. We can still control them. I just don't know what Boss Li means by temporarily recruiting them? I want to understand more clearly so that I can convey it to them in advance."

Li Ke explained: "Zhou Heng should have already told you about your mission to rush to the safe zone. The safe zone is now a wasteland and everything needs to be rebuilt. As a result, there is a huge gap in manpower. Although we now have 5,000 people, which sounds like a lot, the cold winter is coming soon and we have to race against time, so the more people the better.

After all, these outsiders come from unknown places. We can temporarily hire them to collect waste for us outside the safe zone, and you will be the supervisor. During this period, you should not only look at their work attitude, but also understand their character and style. If you are sure they are good, you can absorb them. If they are not good, or their background is questionable, or they are treacherous, you should dismiss them early.

By the way, when you assign them tasks, learn about their abilities and specialties in advance. If there are special talents, let them use their expertise to do the work, and don’t just pursue brute force.”

Qiu Shisan nodded and continued to ask: "There are many old, weak, sick and disabled people here. Should we recruit them?"

When Li Ke saw Qiu Shisan's hesitant look, he knew that he was a little soft-hearted. Moreover, many of the people who followed them on foot were indeed weak. If they were really strong, they would not have been driven out.

"Of course we can recruit them, as long as they are willing to work hard. Our compensation is that the more they work, the more they get paid, and the less they work, the less they get paid. Moreover, we have our own cars and auxiliary equipment, so the work they do will not be too tiring.

We are kind-hearted when we do not consider their physical condition when recruiting them, but if they fail to live up to our kindness after work, we will directly fire them and never hire them again." Li Ke answered Qiu Shisan's question in a serious voice.

Qiu Shisan said seriously: "I understand. I will make it clear to them in advance and do a good job."

Qiu Shisan also had little dealings with Li Jia, but unlike Li Jia who had only met him a few times, Qiu Shisan knew a lot about Li Jia.

Because Song Xian mentioned many times to Qiu Feng that their real boss was Li Jia, and as an old man who had followed Qiu Feng, he also knew how important a role Li Jia played in their development along the way.

His boss, Qiu Feng, had specifically emphasized to him before that he was their boss, but Li Jia was Qiu Feng's boss. When they met Li Jia, they had to put him first and follow his orders.

The place where Li Ke and Qiu Shisan met was on a national highway. There were rolling barren mountains on both sides of the road. It was just approaching noon. Li Ke asked Qiu Shisan to convey the order, and then everyone rested for three hours and set out again three hours later.

While asking the logistics staff to prepare lunch, Qiu Shisan used a loudspeaker to gather the outsiders who were traveling with them and told them their recruitment conditions.

Li Ke took his backpack and found a place with few people to sit down. At the bottom of the slope in front, people from the logistics department were cooking soup on a wood stove, and some people were carrying bags of dry food and distributing it to those who were resting.

There were many women in the logistics department. Li Ke saw Lu Qing busy at work. The woman's abdomen was completely flat and she looked very thin, but she was still very efficient in doing things.

Li Ke was just wondering how Lu Qing's child was doing? Was it a boy or a girl? Lu Qing was already walking towards him with a bag of dry food.

"The multi-grain soup will be ready soon. Mr. Li, you should eat some dry food first." Lu Qing handed over a slightly yellow dry food bun that looked like a steamed bread ball.

Li Ke had some food in her bag, but seeing that Lu Qing's eyes were still clear and honest, she reached out and took it: "Do you know me?"

Lu Qing smiled with gratitude: "Of course, if it weren't for Mr. Li, I would still be imprisoned. I recognized you the first time I saw you just now. Thank you very much for your help."

Li Ke took the dry food bun and said, "No need, just be a good person and do your job well, go get busy."

Lu Qing's eyes were confused for a moment, but she quickly nodded and said, "I will. I'm going to get busy now. I'll bring you the soup later."

Li Ke shook his head: "I have something to drink, no need to send me soup."

Lu Qing sensed Li Ke's distance, so she said "OK" and went to do something else.

"Big brother, I'm here too. Did you recognize me?" A clear and lively voice came from behind. Li Ke turned her head slightly. The owner of the voice had come to her side with an empty cloth bag in his hand.

The person in front of me was nearly 1.6 meters tall, wearing a gray patched suit, a denim hat on his head, and a pair of black canvas shoes on his feet.

Her skin color was dark yellow and her face was a bit square. She looked as ordinary as could be, but her eyes were unusually bright and she looked at Li Ke expectantly.

Li Ke looked at the person in front of her, but she missed Xiao Guang whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She slightly curved her eyes and said to the person who came: "You are Qiu Ling. You have changed a lot. You have grown taller and gained weight. You look much more beautiful than before."

Qiu Ling's eyes lit up when she heard Li Ke's words. She sat down next to Li Ke and asked happily, "Really? Big brother, you are the first person to praise me for being beautiful. Are you sincere?"

Li Ke was of course sincere. Compared with her previous thin and miserable appearance, Qiu Ling was much more beautiful now. If it weren't for Li Ke's good memory and the way Qiu Ling addressed her, Li Ke might not have recognized her.

Li Ke nodded: "Of course it's true. If you look in the mirror, can't you see that you have changed a lot?"

Qiu Ling couldn't help laughing when she heard Li Ke's affirmation: "Of course I know my changes, but I don't have a mirror, and no one has ever praised me. Big brother, I trust you the most."

Li Ke liked Qiu Ling's clear and bright eyes. Hearing her words, he reached into his backpack and took out a palm-sized glasses box and gave it to Qiu Ling. Inside the box was a moisturizer that could be used in winter.

When Qiu Ling received this small gift, she exclaimed with joy again. Although she was young, it was not that she had never seen good things. It was just that she had suffered too much over the years. This was truly the best gift she had ever received.

Li Ke waited until Qiu Ling was done being happy before asking, "What's going on with Lu Qing? Her child is only a few months old, and doesn't she have several students to take care of? Why did she come out with the team this time?"
