Dongfang Rui said calmly, "Don't explain. This is your dereliction of duty. I'll deduct your salary for this month and change Xia Chuhe's information to Evolver."

"Also, compile all her files from when she entered the base until now and hand them to me by tomorrow."

"Yes," Shi Jianhe replied obsequiously.

...

At the entrance of the colored stone base.

After their identities were verified, Du Zhen and the others watched eagerly as the guards checked Lu Dangui and Xia Chuhe's identities.

Du Zhen and the others had wristwatches, so their identities were quickly verified.

Lu Danggui took out a small card from his inner pocket. It looked like a modern memory card, but it was larger.

The guard frowned, but still took the card and had it read by a special machine.

"Evolver, you may enter." The guard extended his hand to Xia Chuhe. "And yours?"

Xia Chuhe obediently took out a piece of not-so-tasty jerky and placed it in the guard's palm: "Is this enough?"

The guard cursed, "I don't accept bribes, where's your ID card?"

The guards cursed as they stuffed the dried meat into their pockets.

Xia Chuhe: ...Urgent! Is it possible to get a replacement ID card in the wasteland if I don't have one?

Du Zhen, being very experienced, answered for her: "She lost her ID card. You can search for information about the North Tiger Base..."

Du Zhen hesitated before replying, "Summer hoeing."

The guard tapped his wristwatch with a sour face, glanced at the portrait on the watch, and then at Xia Chuhe.

"All evolved beings, welcome to Rainbow Stone Base."

Xia Chuhe: So I've become an evolved being? Is the personal information collected by the wasteland authorities reliable?

Although he had this doubt in his heart, Xia Chuhe wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Du Zhen sighed, "You two are really..."

Du Zhen assigned the two tasks: "Xia Chuhe, go get your ID cards first, then you two go buy the watches together. I'll advance you the points, and you can pay me back the points after you sell the watches."

Xia Chuhe pulled out the girl who had been obediently hiding behind her: "Aunt Du, what should we do with her?"

Du Zhen's forehead veins throbbed: "Call me Sister Zhen."

Du Zhen took a deep breath: "Does she have a name? How old is she? Does she have any special abilities?"

The girl stretched out a hand from behind Xia Chuhe and said, "I know how to do this."

As she spoke, a spark ignited in her palm.

The shape of the rose is vibrant, passionate, and unrestrained.
