Two days before reaching the safe zone, Li Ke left the convoy and told Qiu Feng to arrange for the convoy to come out and receive the base supplies after arriving at the base.

Although Qiu Feng was somewhat curious about the people who delivered the supplies, after seeing Li Jia's arrangements, he knew that he didn't want them to know too much, so he obediently carried out the orders.

There were more and more people ahead, and it was difficult for Li Ke to produce so many supplies out of thin air. If the location he chose was good, it was still more than 300 miles away from the outer edge of the safe zone. Uphill was an abandoned town and a mountain villa area.

Most of the houses have collapsed, with mutated green vines crawling on them. Few people stay in this place, because if they hurry up, there will be a safe zone full of hope ahead.

Li Ke patrolled around and after making sure that there was no one here, he found a favorable hilltop to stay temporarily.

The environment here must have been very good before, with mountains piled up one after another, but only some stumpy remains of trees, soil and plants can be seen.

There are mutated plants, but in most living areas and along scenic routes, only a few can be found occasionally.

Looking into the distance with a telescope, you can see the continuous stream of people coming to surrender in three directions. There are convoys, people walking, and some military trucks mixed in.

There have been fewer planes flying overhead recently, and Li Ke always felt that something was not right with so many people gathered here, but the situation was already like this, so he just had to wait and see what would happen in the future.

Five days later, the convoy sent by Qiu Feng appeared on the road below. After Li Ke saw that there was no problem with their secret signal, he contacted them with the walkie-talkie and asked them to drive up to pick up the supplies.

The person leading the team this time was Niu Dazhuang. Li Ke placed the supplies in the courtyard of a dilapidated mountain villa. When they arrived at the place, Niu Dazhuang began to arrange people to load the goods onto the truck, set up the crane, and unload the heavier supplies.

After arranging everything, Niu Dazhuang walked away from Li Ke's side. "Everyone has been arranged. The safe zone is very busy right now. A large number of refugees are stranded outside. People from above are now taking over these people. Each base is arranging the teams coming from their own bases. They don't have the energy to recruit other people now. Now each sentry entrance has to verify a large number of people entering the safe zone every day. All new entrants to the safe zone can only move within their own base areas for the time being. Anyone who leaves the base without approval and is discovered by the sentry will be arrested and interrogated."

It was understandable that the sentry post was on martial law at this time. After listening to Niu Dazhuang's words, Li Ke asked, "Have you heard anything about the missing person?"

Niu Dazhuang shook his head. "In order to reassure people in the safe zone, no one is allowed to discuss this matter. Many people in our base have gone missing, and they have been specifically told to stay calm and wait for news. I can't tell if they are trying to comfort people or if they really have news and a way to deal with it."

On their way here, Li Ke and Qiu Feng had gone to observe again the places where Zhou Heng and his companions might have passed by, but unfortunately they did not find any useful traces or clues.

Li Ke followed the convoy back to the safe zone. She had no idea what was going on, so she naturally wouldn't run around outside.

While waiting for inspection at the sentry post, Li Ke saw a convoy of twenty-three military trucks driving out, and the sentry post let them pass directly.

Li Ke saw Xiao Yi in the passenger seat of the third car. Their eyes met briefly, and then they looked away as the cars drove away.

It can be seen that the first ten cars are all carrying soldiers, and the carports of the cars at the back are pressed very tightly, making it impossible to identify. They may be supplies or weapons. Li Ke is more concerned about the purpose of their trip.

Li Ke rested in his private residence for two days. When he came out, work had resumed in the safe zone. Although the weather was still cold, the ground works that had been suspended before could now be carried out.

A notice has also been sent down that a new batch of greening roots have come out, and those in need can apply directly.

The planting area next to Li Ke's residence is still empty, but the green area farther away is already full of greenery and bustling. Li Ke went over to take a look and found that the best growing plants at the moment are some mutated green vines and weeds.

The mutant saplings have all grown heads, but it is obvious that their current growth cannot compete with those vines and weeds.

Li Ke's application has been submitted. In fact, she only planted one-fifth of her green area because the timing was not right and she did not need many green roots.

Li Ke was walking in the grass half a person high, wearing full body protective gear. Occasionally, some plants would lean towards her. Li Ke would just wave them away. If there were any restless plants that wanted to pester her, she would just chop them with the knife in her hand. These plants sensed her cruelty and quickly spread the news.

Next, when Li Ke walked in it, no plants would want to bother her. After all, these things have not yet grown into their own strength, and Li Ke is not easy for them to deal with at this time.

Li Ke bought twenty-one green areas. When all the green areas were planted, the grain seedlings also came down. People had taken off their outermost thick coats. Although they were still wearing thick clothes, they no longer felt cold.

Not long after the seedlings were planted, the temperature began to rise slowly. Seeing that the rainy season was approaching, the superiors notified each base to clear the canals in advance according to the terrain.

Everyone in the safe zone seemed to be being urged and unable to stop. Infrastructure construction had never stopped, planting was also going on at the same time, and flood prevention and canal clearing work during the rainy season was also stepped up.

The arrival of the rainy season does not mean that everyone is idle. Indoor work continues, underground plantations continue, and the inspection and cleaning of any collected reusable materials are also carried out.

Qiu Feng's hair has almost turned half white. Whenever Qiushan Base has time, he will inquire about news from the liaison office in the core area. However, after three months, the statement from above has not changed. They just say to wait and see.

When Li Ke met him, she could only make him feel more at ease. It was not that Li Ke didn't care about these people, she was also trying to get information.

However, to this day, the people above have not given any explanation as to the origins of the people who launched the attack. Xiao Yi has not appeared since he left three months ago.

If there is still no news after the rainy season, Li Ke also plans to leave the safe zone and go for a walk outside.

The rainfall gradually decreased and the rainy season was about to end. Not only tall and solid base buildings, private villas, estates, and small houses were built in the safe zone, but plants also grew wildly. In just half a month, they were two or three meters high.

The roads have also been repaired, and some highly ornamental mutant plants have been planted on both sides of the roads, in some bases and private residences. Everything is developing in a good direction.

Of course, there are also very simple and rough places, mainly concentrated in the eighth and ninth rings and the periphery. The base conditions here are mostly average, and their construction cannot be compared with the bases in the inner rings.

The only thing that couldn't be distinguished was probably the green area. All the green areas planned within the safe zone were planted with mutant plants, and the planting areas outside were even more numerous.

All the green areas that have not been sold have been taken over by various checkpoints. Now, the proud green patches one after another have made many people feel that this summer may not be too sad.

Li Ke looked at the sporadic drizzle. The current development was completely different from his previous life. Perhaps life had returned.

The rain had completely stopped, and Li Ke was just about to pack up and leave when Qiu Feng and Song Xian came over.

As soon as Song Xiangang saw Li Ke, he hurriedly said, "We received a notice from above saying that there is news about the missing person, but this matter is rather troublesome, so they asked us to go to the reception center to attend a meeting and discuss it together."

Li Ke has handed over all external work to Song Xian and Qiu Feng. Song Xian knew that Li Ke had plans to go out to look for clues, so he rushed over as soon as he got the news.
