In such a large base, it was normal for there to be other gates besides the main entrance. It was just that this kind of secret was definitely not known to ordinary people. Only people with abilities and backgrounds like Diao Zhuo would know. Could it be that Diao Zhuo had followed everyone for the test drive this time mainly to give them directions? He Xing continued to drive forward for 50 meters. As expected, he saw a left turn at the intersection, so he maneuvered the car to turn in and then drove straight ahead. Although the road conditions were not good, the wheels of this car were covered with tracks, so no matter how serious the potholes were, they could easily cross them.

Not only would it not be affected by the road conditions, but its speed would also be much faster than ordinary cars. Five minutes later, a large iron gate appeared in front of everyone. The gate was still very heavy, but unfortunately, the surface was now full of holes due to volcanic ash corrosion, and there were different degrees of rust. Fortunately, Du Yue did not have trypophobia. If someone who had it took a look at the gate, their scalp would probably go numb. However, Du Yue did not stare at it for too long. Even if she did not have trypophobia, it was still very disgusting to look at it for a long time!

Diao Zhuo looked at the gate in front of him and said indifferently, “Break it!”

Before Du Yue could be surprised, she saw that the front of the car had already changed after Diao Zhuo’s words. The originally seemingly useless front of the car was actually being rearranged into a row of long awls. Diao Zhuo removed his hand from the center and released the button he had just pressed. The car did not slow down at all. It rushed toward the gate. The sharp awls easily pierced through the broken gate and continued to move forward.

Diao Zhuo pressed a few more buttons in succession, and the gate that was stuck on the awls was thrown into the open space. Diao Zhuo snorted coldly, his expression very smug. “Trash!”

When Diao Zhuo spoke, his expression and tone made him seem arrogant. Just by looking at his smug appearance, those who did not know better would think that he was a great general who had just returned victorious! Although it was a little exaggerated, it was not difficult to understand.

The project that he had participated in had finally seen results after such a long time of hard work. Moreover, the hardware was also awesome. Naturally, it was worth being happy and excited.

After the car left the base, it headed south. To the south was where the volcano was located. Their other mission was to investigate the current situation of the volcano and collect some samples near the volcano for scientists to study. If it were in the past, they would definitely not let so few people carry out such a dangerous mission. However, the situation was different after they got this car. If the car could bring ten people to their destination safely so that they could complete the mission perfectly and then bring them back unscathed, the test drive would be considered perfect. After returning, the car could be immediately put into production.

Du Yue had lived for two lifetimes, but this was the first time he had seen the crater of a volcano with her own eyes. She could not see the situation in the distance, but as they got closer to the volcano, Du Yue’s heart became more and more anxious. Not only Du Yue, but the other people in the car also had the same feeling. Li Zhonghao could not help but ask everyone, “Why do I feel hotter and hotter? Do you guys feel it too?”

Du Yue was just about to nod when she heard Diao Zhuo’s disdainful laughter from the front. “You’re the captain of a team, but you only have this much courage? Stop being so paranoid. You’re scaring yourself. We have an air conditioner in the car, and the car’s body was built to be thick. We’re also wrapped in such a thick protective suit. How could it be getting hotter and hotter? We’re still far from the volcano! If you can feel the heat here, then don’t follow us anymore. Just stay here and wait. When we return, we’ll come back to fetch you.”

As soon as Diao Zhuo finished speaking, the entire car instantly fell silent. Du Yue could clearly feel that the few people from the base were even breathing lightly as if they were afraid of making too much noise and angering Diao Zhuo.

Du Yue originally thought that Diao Zhuo was a little arrogant because of his ability and family background. However, after hearing his words, Du Yue felt that he was brainless! They were on a mission together and were even sitting in the same car. Li Zhonghao was an armed force sent by the base. Diao Zhuo’s words were so harsh that Li Zhonghao would be put on the spot. It would not do him any good! Du Yue’s eyes darted back and forth between Li Zhonghao and Diao Zhuo. She was getting more and more curious..
