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

Xia Ji: "They live on the third floor. They are descendants of a royal family from a small country. Although their country is small, it is very rich. They were invited because they have some rich and moving resources. Let's change direction and travel another week, and we will reach our destination."

Li Ke hadn't seen these people yet, so he didn't ask any more questions: "Just make the arrangements as you see fit."

Seeing that Li Ke still had no reaction, Xia Ji couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Li Ke, I've said this much, why don't you make some arrangements? We're about to arrive, don't you need to contact some people to arrange some things? It's not that we put all the pressure on you, but it would be great if we could take the light energy mine without making a fuss."

Li Ke looked at Xia Ji opposite him seriously: "Commander Xia, I think you have to realize one thing, your first mission is the Light Energy Mine, and my first mission is my fellow countrymen in the base. If you want to put your hopes on the mission of the Light Energy Mine on me, then I hope to see your sincerity first, at least bring all the people I want to save to me first."

Xia Ji savored the meaning of Li Ke's words: "Does what you mean mean that as long as we rescue your people, you can bring the light energy mine to us, quietly like last time."

Li Ke looked at me coldly: "Commander Xia, at this point, let's be less routine and more sincere. I have followed you here, so don't test me anymore. Just like your duties, there are many things you can't tell me. We also have our own principles. There are some things that we can't say even if we die. As long as you rescue all the people I want to save and send them back to the safe zone, I will find a way to get what you want smoothly."

Xia Ji smiled and said, "You are too vigilant. Okay, let's make a deal. I will find a way to rescue your people as soon as possible, but you must not only promise to help us get the light energy ore samples this time, but also go to the mine with us to carry out the mission."

Li Ke did not respond directly, but said, "Let's talk about it after you rescue the people first."

Xia Ji arranged four female colleagues for Li Ke, two of whom were her former acquaintances, although she acted as if she didn't know them when she saw them during this period.

These two people are Xia Qing and Meng Yu from the past. After Li Ke and Xia Ji started traveling together, they no longer covered their faces. Only when they were outside would they wear masks or something like that to keep warm or defend against other substances.

So it wasn't the case that Xia Qing and Meng Yu didn't recognize her, but they both acted as if they were unfamiliar with Li Ke, so Li Ke didn't make any other gestures to show that she knew them.

The other two female colleagues were named Cao Xuan and Chen Nanxing. Li Ke had watched their training and found that they were both outstanding female soldiers.

Xia Ji wanted Li Ke to be the team leader, but Li Ke pushed him away because she was used to acting alone. Xia Ji did not force her and appointed Xia Qing as the team leader, but Li Ke was not restricted and could act freely.

The five people were divided into two rooms, Xia Qing and Li Ke lived in one room, and the other three lived in another room.

It was not until the evening when she was resting that Xia Qing's voice came faintly from her bed: "You really shouldn't have gotten involved. I don't know if you can get away with it in the end."

After hearing this, Li Ke said after a long while: "What do you mean? Xia Ji is not a good person?"

Xia Qing also replied after a while: "They are not bad people, but people in their position will be more ruthless in their choices at times, which cannot be said to be wrong."

Li Ke could tell there was something unsaid in Xia Qing's words and suddenly thought of the missing Xiao Yi. Everyone has their own choices. As for the matter of the light energy mine this time, Li Ke knew the future was dangerous and there might be pitfalls, but she was still willing.

"When you are not needed to take the lead, just stay behind. You have to know that there are many powerful and capable people, and you are not the only one." Xia Qing's voice was lowered by two points and rang out in the dark room.

Li Ke was getting annoyed by what she heard, and turned to face her bed. "Can't you tell me clearly what the higher-ups are trying to do to me? It's annoying to keep covering up. Didn't you and Meng Yu pretend not to know me all along?"

Xia Qing sighed, "We don't want to do that either. The boss said that we should pretend we don't know each other when we meet again, and we can't mention you to anyone. We, the little soldiers, don't know what the higher-ups are planning for you, but our boss said that there are all kinds of people up there, and it's better for someone like you who doesn't have enough brains to stay among the crowd and keep a low profile. Anyway, they all care about you and are doing this for your own good, so you should think more about what you do."

Li Ke stared at the roof: "I don't like to rack my brains. Now that we've come this far, we can only move on. Anyway, as long as they don't make me unhappy, we can all live in peace."

Xia Qing nodded before saying, "Go to bed early. We have to be on duty in the second half of the night."

There was ice on the sea, and although the ship had the ability to break the ice, the speed of the journey was still hindered to a certain extent. So far, no news had been received from the fifty people who went to the coordinates given by Xiao Yi to look for clues.

Li Ke was a little skeptical. Was the coordinates received by Xia Ji sent by Xiao Yi? Xia Ji was very sure about this. He stated that they all had a dedicated special encrypted communication channel, and no one would use it except the team leader and the full-time liaison personnel.

Those who know how to use it have been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, and will never betray others.

Li Ke didn't mean to doubt anyone, she just thought that place was too mysterious, why did it always deviate and fail to reach it? And people kept disappearing, so she couldn't help but have such doubts.

The cruise ship Li Ke was on did not stop until the vast icebergs appeared in the distance. The distance was actually quite far, but the ship could no longer move because the ice was too thick.

After contacting the Maide family, Xia Ji arranged for people to pack up and prepare to disembark. It was under such circumstances that Li Ke actually met the cruise ship owner named Zheng whom they were protecting.

There were three men and two women. One of them was a middle-aged couple, the other two younger men and women were their children, and the last middle-aged man was their housekeeper.

Behind them were six servants and five bodyguards, all of whom were their own people.

Li Ke looked at them and they indeed seemed like people living a life of luxury, which was a little different from what she had imagined.

She confirmed to Xia Ji: "Are they really the royal family of his small country? Do we really want to protect them?"

Xia Ji replied with certainty: "Of course it is true, and we must protect their safety. This is what we promised them a long time ago, and we must do it."

Li Ke watched them get on the only two off-road vehicles and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with me." She didn't want to serve those people. They were too arrogant and Li Ke didn't like it.

Xia Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, they have their own people to use. We just need to ensure their safety and send them back safely in the end."

Li Ke: "What if something unexpected happens during the mission and they die?"

Xia Ji's expression remained unchanged: "That doesn't matter. The light energy mine is the most important. If they really can't protect it, they will just have to pay some compensation."

Li Ke: Sure enough, there is a solution to everything.

Li Ke followed Xia Ji to a car behind. When they reached the car door, Xia Ji smiled and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Li Ke felt something was wrong: "What do you mean? I just came here to take the bus."

Xia Ji said apologetically, "The host's maid will be sitting in this car, so you have to follow the team and walk first. If there is a car to pick us up later, maybe you can get on it."

Li Ke was silent for a moment: "Okay, considering your age, I'll let you go first."

Xia Ji saw Li Ke turn around and walk towards the female teammates, and stopped smiling: What do you mean he is so old? He is still many years away from forty!

Li Ke walked with Xia Qing and the others. Xia Qing and Meng Yu still didn't speak. Cao Xuan was a little afraid of the cold. He walked against the wind with his mouth closed, not wanting to say a word.

Chen Nanxing, on the other hand, was younger and more lively: "Look at this place, I thought I was in Antarctica."

Li Ke asked Xia Ji about the location and said, "It's not much different from the South Pole. This place is not far from the South Pole."

From a distance, there were only icebergs and no human habitation. Li Ke was really unsure if anyone would come to pick them up.

After walking for nearly two hours and sweating a little, Li Ke saw three cars in total, two off-road vehicles and one large truck.

There are a hundred guards among them, and if they divide themselves up, they should be able to fit in. If there is no wind, it won't be too uncomfortable to keep walking like this.

But the wind was as cold as a knife, and it carried snow particles with it, making it painful to walk.
