The Eight Evils lowered their heads, looking even more dejected. They were silent for a moment before taking a few deep breaths.

"My two arms were injured when I was stealing children from the lab. Luckily, Hu Ling had some injections she had bought from the base, so I didn't die.

But for a long time since then, the burden of life almost entirely fell on Hu Ling, especially during the extreme cold, when she had to take care of me and several children at the same time.

At first, there was firewood burning to keep warm, but later all the wood and burnt materials were burned out.

We took out the armored off-road vehicle you gave us. Fortunately, there was plenty of fuel in Hu Ling's space, so we kept the heater on in the car and managed to get through the last two months.

We returned immediately after the Great Cold. Who knew that those bases had already been integrated before the Great Cold? We traveled all the way south to the official base in City S, exchanged the supplies we collected from outside for points, and only then were we equipped with mechanical prostheses.

"Then why did you get here?"

"Of course, we're on missions. The six of us now form a missioner team and have done a lot of missions."

He Xiaobei looked at Hu Ling and then at the little kids around her:

"The base gave you a mission?"

The Eight Evils grinned and laughed out loud:

"Originally, they didn't give us any, but Hu Ling took out her mental illness certificate and insisted that she was disabled. In the end, the base, out of consideration for us, gave us some simple tasks."

He Xiaobei thought for a moment:

"There's a centralized facility in Kyoto for these children, and there should be one at the official base in City S now. I remember that education, food, and lodging are free until the age of 13. Why aren't they sent there?"

The Eight Evils shook their heads:

"I sent it, but the base refused to accept it."

"Why not?"

"Because their identities are questionable, the three boys were born in a foreign laboratory. Ertong knew at a glance that they were not from our country."

He Xiaobei stopped talking, but also expressed his understanding.

In this era, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources for the base to train these children for free. Even the children of their own country cannot be fully trained, let alone a few children of unknown origin.

Even if they have special abilities, the country will not cultivate them.

Not taking them to the laboratory shows that this country has been very kind.

While He Xiaobei was thinking, Hu Ling didn't care at all:

"It's good to stay with me. Being in the wild all the time, your survival ability when you grow up may not be worse than those children raised in the base."

He Xiaobei nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. Not being able to enter wasn't a big deal. At most, it would just cost a little more food.

And when they grow up, they can earn points by themselves, so Hu Ling and the others won’t have to worry about them at all. Maybe they can even give back to them.

"What about you? Fairy Miaomiao, where have you been all these years?"

He Xiaobei looked at Hu Ling's curious expression and smiled slightly:

"I've been to so many places over the years..."

The few of them kept chatting until late at night. There was no other way. He Xiaobei had so much experience over the years. The two adults and four children listened with admiration on their faces.

Finally, when we talked about the lunar base, Hu Ling sighed:

"Fairy Miaomiao, you have practiced well so you can definitely go to the Moon Palace, but I can't. I'm still far behind."

He Xiaobei thought about it and thought that if it was only Hu Ling and Baxiong, he might be able to get two more places, but that was not the case for the four children.

Because the people she comes into contact with are basically high-level officials, the official management of the Evolvers seems to be very loose, but AI supervision is always there.

It will not monitor ordinary people, but suspects, or outside children like these, will be monitored at all times, no matter how young they are.

Today's technological means are really hard to guard against. Maybe the children themselves have no ill intentions towards Longguo, but who knows whether they carry any hidden viruses or undetectable chips in their bodies.

What's more, it is unknown whether anything has been implanted in their brains or memories. Allowing them to live in the base is already the greatest tolerance.

This matter cannot be said to be cruel, nor is there right or wrong. It is just a different perspective. The base is also trying to protect the people of its own country.

Even if you can't go to the lunar base, you can still go to the Kyoto base, because going to the lunar base is not a one-way ticket, but a round-trip ticket.

Although it is almost a one-way ticket for ordinary people, it is still easy for He Xiaobei to come back after going there, because her friends will still be there when she wants to come back.

She also thought about bringing the person up in the space if it didn't work, but after bringing him up, it would be impossible for him to live in her space forever. If he smuggled in, he would be an illegal immigrant and would not be accepted there. He would still be deported.
