Meng Meng walked up to Diao Zhuo and looked up at him. Diao Zhuo’s face was reflected in her eyes. “1 heard someone say that you’re back, so I thought of coming to see you.”
“Didn’t 1 tell you not to mess around? I’ll definitely go home to look for you after I’m done here.”
“I wanted to see you sooner. Have you completed the mission?”
“Of course, it was perfectly completed!”
The two of them chatted as if there was no one around them. Most people were envious, but Li Zhonghao was different. Hatred engulfed him. He hated Diao Zhuo’s arrogance and tyranny. He hated this evil world. His chest heaved up and down violently as he gritted his teeth.
This sound was particularly obvious in the quiet room. Meng Meng subconsciously turned around and saw Li Zhonghao gnashing his teeth. She seemed to be shocked and screamed, immediately hiding behind Diao Zhuo.
Li Zhonghao’s eyes became even more resentful when he saw her like this. “Meng Meng, don’t be afraid! If you have any grievances, just say it. Everyone is here. Diao Zhuo won’t dare to do anything to you!”
Meng Meng tugged at the corner of Diao Zhuo’s clothes and did not dare to look at Li Zhonghao. She only whispered, “I don’t have any grievances. Diao Zhuo is very good to me.”
“Impossible! If he’s not bullying you, why are you so scared?”
Du Yue was speechless. Li Zhonghao really did not know that Meng Meng was scared of him. His ex-girlfriend was avoiding him, yet he said that his ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend was the one bullying her.
Even Du Yue, who had lived for two lifetimes, could not figure out what was going on in this man’s brain.
After being outside for so long, Du Yue was also a little tired. After finally finding an opportunity, Du Yue gave Xia Ju a look and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Xia Ju quickly gave a few instructions to the people around her and followed. Du Yue and He Xing walked in front, and Xia Ju followed behind them. From time to time, she would look back, looking reluctant. Du Yue felt strange seeing her like this and asked, “What happened to you?”
Xia Ju sighed deeply. “I haven’t seen enough yet. It’s like a cliffhanger. Do you understand that feeling?”
Du Yue nodded. “Yeah! When we get home, 1’11 find a few more melodramatic dramas for you to watch. You can watch as many endings as you want!”
Xia Ju was also a person who was easily satisfied. After hearing this, she nodded in satisfaction. “Alright!”
After the three of them walked down the stairs to the next floor, they took off their protective suits. It was so stuffy that they almost had heat rashes. Now, they could finally feel a little better. When they got home, they would take a comfortable shower and then curl up on the sofa to watch dramas. Just thinking about it made them feel happy!
Just as they were thinking about it, a man walked toward them. The man had a fawning smile on his face. “I heard that Miss Xia Ju has developed a new type of medicine that can be used to treat corrosion and burns. The base is very concerned about this, so they sent me to invite you over to let everyone see how the medicine works.”
Xia Ju took out the medicine bottle and handed it to him. “This is the rest of the medicine. You can take it back and try it yourself. Contact me if you have any questions.”
The man took the medicine in surprise, but he soon smiled again. “Alright, I’ll take the medicine back and test it out first. I’ll send someone to look for you when we have the results. It’s been hard on you, Miss Xia Ju. You should go home and rest first. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Xia Ju nodded. “Alright.”
The man carefully held the medicine and turned to leave. Perhaps it was because the base valued this medicine too much, he seemed very nervous.
Xia Ju watched him leave and said, “Don’t tell me they want to use Li Zhonghao to test the medicine?”
Du Yue nodded. “Maybe. After all, there’s no one else in the base who’s suitable.”
There was no one else in the entire base who had been burned by acid rain. They could not hurt someone on purpose just to test the medicine, could they? Since Li Zhonghao was already injured, it would definitely be a waste not to test it on him!
The three of them continued down. Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the floor where they lived. When they were outside, other than the ten of them, they did not see a single breathing creature within a hundred miles. Now that they were back on the floor where they lived, the crowd was bustling and it looked very lively. Just as they were about to return to their house, they saw Xia Zhixing walking over with the child in her arms. Although Xia Zhixing had told them that she lived in Zone D, this was the first time they saw her here.
Xia Zhixing had not changed much since the last time they met. However, the child in her arms had grown up a lot. It was obvious that Xia Zhixing was raising the child well. She had a chubby face, red lips, and a pair of big, dark eyes..
