Lu Ruisheng thought of something and asked Gu Ci again, "Have you heard that sea levels might rise in the future?"
Gu Ci naturally knew about it. "Of course, by then we could go to Mount Everest."
Gu Pan hadn't expected Gu Ci to know so much. "Mount Everest? The base at Mount Everest?"
Gu Ci shook his head. "Rather, it's about building a city next to the base."
Gu Pan understood his idea. He still wanted freedom, but to some extent also depended on the base.
She asked, "The leaders at No.7 Base must be aware of our existence here. Wouldn't they be cautious? Or might our people harbor thoughts against the base?"
Gu Ci said, "We complement each other. We are like the countries surrounding Huaxia, serving as a buffer. So, the base actually hopes we exist. If there are enemy attacks, we are the front shield. Here, danger and benefits coexist."
Gu Pan now understood the complexities. "I see, I oversimplified it."
