He Xing did not say anything and started the car. The car was filled with ten people, but no one spoke. There was only a strange silence in the car. However, this silence did not last long. It was soon broken by the dripping sound of water. Xia Ju frowned. “What’s that sound? Is there a leak?”
Du Yue raised her eyebrows at her and gestured for her to look at Li Zhonghao. Li Zhonghao was sitting on the chair with his head buried in the ground. The sweat on his face kept flowing down and hitting the ground. That was where the sound was coming from.
Xia Ju sized him up. “I thought he was very capable!”
Previously, he had urged them to leave Diao Zhuo behind and go back directly. After being caught red-handed by Diao Zhuo, he was actually so scared. If this continued, he would probably be scared out of his wits before Diao Zhuo could make a move.
Xia Ju felt that Li Zhonghao was extremely ridiculous, and Du Yue felt the same way. Since he had the guts to make such a proposal behind someone else’s back, he had to be able to bear the consequences. Moreover, Diao Zhuo had not even done anything to him, and Li Zhonghao was already scared to this extent. It was really too laughable.
Du Yue was also curious about how Diao Zhuo planned to deal with him. However, based on the current situation, Diao Zhuo did not seem to have any intention of doing anything. The car was unusually quiet along the way. No one spoke again. Diao Zhuo had been sitting in his seat ever since he got into the car. His expression was normal as if he had forgotten what Li Zhonghao had just said.
As soon as He Xing stopped the car in the elevator, everyone felt a violent tremor. The car slowly descended.
As they descended, the entrance above closed again. Almost instantly, the surrounding lights lit up. When the lights were turned on, the place looked much brighter than on the surface outside. Du Yue and the others had just gotten out of the car when they were surrounded by an excited crowd. These people pulled He Xing and Diao Zhuo to ask about the situation, and then they asked Xia Ju about her well-being.
Du Yue and the others stood at the side, blending into the background. Du Yue was happy. She did not like to be paid too much attention to, so it was good. Soon, after He Xing dealt with the group of people, he walked through the crowd to Du Yue’s side. The two of them looked at Xia Ju at the same time. Xia Ju was surrounded by many people, all of whom were asking about her well-being.
“If news of the drug spreads, Xia Ju will receive more attention than she is now.”
Du Yue sighed. “It’s been hard on her.”
As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, their gazes were attracted by Li Zhonghao. He stood in the corner, his face drained of color. However, his gaze fell on Diao Zhuo, who was the center of attention. His eyes were filled with hatred.
Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. Li Zhonghao was really blinded by resentment. He had already returned to the base. As one of the researchers, Young Master Diao was bound to be the center of attention. In addition, he was powerful and influential to begin with. At this moment, almost everyone was concerned about him, but Li Zhonghao did not hide his hatred at all. He was not afraid of being discovered! At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs. The footsteps were light like they belonged to a woman.
Du Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall woman walking over slowly.
She had a gentle and quiet appearance, and her beautiful black hair flowed down. Du Yue wanted to praise her for her beautiful hair! In the apocalypse, it was not easy for people to fill their stomachs. Fruits and vegetables were not something that most people dared to ask for. However, without these things to supplement the nutrients needed by the human body, it was impossible for a person to be radiant. It was even harder to have such smooth and shiny long hair. Therefore, no matter which base Du Yue had been to, most of the men, women, and children had short hair. One reason was that it was easier to wash, and the other was because of the lack of nutrition. Many people had dry hair and suffered from hair loss, so they simply decided to cut it short.
Just by looking at this woman’s thick, black hair, she knew that she must be living a good life!
As soon as she appeared, everyone’s eyes were attracted to her. Being stared at by so many people, the woman did not feel uncomfortable at all. She slowly walked toward Diao Zhuo, her posture calm. The people surrounding Diao Zhuo moved aside to make way for her when they saw her. Diao Zhuo’s eyes lit up the moment he saw that she was here. “Meng Meng, why are you here?”
In fact, when the woman walked toward Diao Zhuo, Du Yue had already guessed it.
Now that she heard Diao Zhuo call her Meng Meng, Du Yue knew that she had guessed correctly..
