Li Zhonghao was not afraid at all. After hearing He Xing’s words, he laughed heartily. “Alright, let’s go!”
Du Yue did not say a word, but she silently fastened her seatbelt. Xia Ju, who was sitting beside her, did the same. He Xing had told them a long time ago that although the car looked very heavy, it was very fast. If they did not sit properly, they would probably be hit hard later.
Just as Du Yue was thinking about this, she heard Li Zhonghao’s voice, “It’s so big, but the safety is definitely guaranteed.”
He Xing, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, did not answer. He only stepped on the accelerator.
In an instant, Du Yue suddenly experienced what it meant to be as fast as lightning. If it was not for the fact that this car did not have wings, it might have flown out directly. Not only did Li Zhonghao not put on his seatbelt, but he also sat on the chair casually, not prepared at all. The moment the car rushed out, his body suddenly leaned forward and he directly crashed into the seat in front of him. As everyone was wearing gas masks, they could only see each other’s eyes.
Therefore, Du Yue could not see Li Zhonghao’s pained expression. She could only see his squeezed eyes and hear his cries of pain. Du Yue only took a glance before retracting her gaze. If one looked down on others, one might suffer a loss. Even if it was just a small matter, one would still suffer a loss. Li Zhonghao’s personality seemed a little special.
After finally sitting down, he quickly fastened his seatbelt and looked at the steering wheel in He Xing’s hand with a yearning expression. “Damn, this big guy is really fierce! If you’re tired of driving, can I drive for a while?”
Before He Xing could refuse, Diao Zhuo, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, rejected him. “Captain Li, I’m afraid that’s not possible. This car is still in the testing stage. Besides the test drive, we have other missions.”
Diao Zhuo was a researcher who studied the car with He Xing. The exaggerated appearance of this car was his work. He Xing had said before that Diao Zhuo had a certain leader of the base as his backer. He had a background and connections. Coupled with his own ability, it was normal for his personality to be unruly, but it was understandable. As soon as Diao Zhuo finished speaking, Li Zhonghao smiled and nodded. “Young Master Diao, you’re right. I was too excited just now. I need to carry out other missions this time. The most important thing is to do my part!”
Diao Zhuo did not respond to him. Li Zhonghao did not feel displeased at being ignored in public. Instead, he laughed heartily.
Ten people sat in the same car. They came from different small groups and represented different forces. Naturally, they had different thoughts. The car was driving normally on the road. The headlights on top were all turned on, allowing them to see the situation within a few meters of the car. Before the volcanic eruption, the path was still smooth and clear, but now, there were pits of all sizes. Those were the volcanic rocks that were sprayed out when the volcano erupted. The fourth base was not close to the volcano, but the volcanic rocks could even reach here. It was obvious how powerful the eruption was.
Not only did the volcanic rocks smash the road into a mess, but even the houses were destroyed. After the apocalypse, the building materials and structure of the new buildings were incomparable to the previous ones. After being smashed by volcanic rocks and corroded by volcanic ash, most of the houses were now in ruins. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as devastating.
In the beginning, everyone was still calm, but the more they journeyed on, the more depressed the atmosphere in the car became. Du Yue stared at the scenery outside the window for a while, but in the end, she still could not tell where they were. When the volcano erupted, the three of them had just arrived at the fourth base not long ago. They had not visited many places, and they spent most of their time in the villa in the new development zone. The only thing Du Yue could confirm now was that this was definitely not the new development zone. Just as Du Yue was wondering, Diao Zhuo said, “After 50 meters, turn left. There’s a big door there that you can go out of.”
As soon as Diao Zhuo finished speaking, Li Zhonghao looked surprised. “Isn’t there only one gate in the base?”
Li Zhonghao’s question was not answered. Du Yue sat very close to Diao Zhuo, so she heard Diao Zhuo’s faint sneer after Li Zhonghao raised the question..
