She had seen people who refused to admit their wrongdoings. This was the first time she saw someone take the blame. Was Diao Zhuo afraid that Li Zhonghao did not hate him enough, so he was deliberately raising his resentment points? Could it be… Did Diao Zhuo have a system in his mind and this was a mission given to him by the system?

Du Yue had already fallen into her own wild thoughts. The way she looked at Diao Zhuo became strange.

Du Yue did not hide his gaze. Diao Zhuo quickly noticed it. He looked at Du Yue in confusion. “Why are you staring at me?”

Du Yue did not say a word. She could not tell him that it was her first time meeting such a resentful person, so she was curious about him, right?

Li Zhonghao stared at Diao Zhuo fiercely from his seat. He wanted to get up and fight Diao Zhuo, but other than knife wounds, there were also burn wounds on his body. He finally got up from the ground, but his body tilted and he fell back to the ground. Diao Zhuo looked down at him. “You want to fight? Look at your current state. You don’t even know if you can return to the base alive, let alone fight.”

“Do you think I’ll be scared?” Li Zhonghao gritted his teeth.

Diao Zhuo laughed coldly, “I’m not trying to scare you. I’m just telling you the truth.”

After saying that, Diao Zhuo turned to look at Xia Ju. “Miss Xia Ju, since we’ve already seen the effects, then you don’t have to give any more medicine to this scumbag. He doesn’t deserve it.”

When Li Zhonghao heard that they were not going to give him medicine, he could not sit still. “Diao Zhuo, why aren’t you letting Miss Xia Ju treat me? What’s wrong with you?” Without waiting for Diao Zhuo to speak, Li Zhonghao looked at Xia Ju again. “Miss Xia Ju, if you hadn’t kicked me away, I wouldn’t have suffered such serious injuries. You can’t ignore me, you must save me!” Xia Ju shook her head. “Why did I kick you? It was because you offended me first that 1 acted in self-defense. I did kick you, but you took off your protective suit yourself. If you don’t seek death, you won’t die. Do you understand this logic? If you want to blame this on me, then you’ve found the wrong person. I won’t save you.”

“No…” Li Zhonghao shook his head. “You can’t leave me alone!”

Before Xia Ju could speak, Diao Zhuo spoke first, “This drug is a very precious resource. Even if it’s going to be used, it should be given to those who have contributed to the base. Besides, 1 don’t think you need to apply medicine on such a small injury. Captain Li, you’re so powerful. Even without medicine, you can heal in no time.” Diao Zhuo was making things up.

Even though it was an experience from her previous life, Du Yue still felt palpitations when she recalled the feeling of being corroded by acid rain. Unlike ordinary wounds or illnesses, the pain of feeling one’s body being burned and slowly corroding was destructive to one’s body and mind. Although the wound on Li Zhonghao’s forearm could not take his life for the time being, if he kept dragging it on without using medicine, it would be extremely torturous.

Even so, Du Yue did not say anything. Li Zhonghao’s current fate was all his own doing. Li Zhonghao did not have a gas mask on his face, so everyone present could clearly see the twisted expression on his face.

Diao Zhuo scoffed. “Look at your hideous appearance. Those who don’t know better would think that your face is rotting! No, I was wrong. Even if your face was corroded by acid rain, it wouldn’t be as terrifying as what you look like now!”

Li Zhonghao already hated Diao Zhuo to the core. After hearing these words, he could not help but rush toward Diao Zhuo.

In the next second, he felt a cold muzzle aimed at his forehead. “Li Zhonghao, if 1 really wanted your life, do you think you’d still have the chance to go crazy here?” Diao Zhuo said calmly. “The reason why I haven’t made a move is because I feel that letting you die like this would be too easy on you. If you know what’s good for you, don’t provoke me again. Otherwise, I’ll send you on your way now.”

Seeing that Diao Zhuo was serious, Li Zhonghao did not dare to make any more noise. His body went limp and he fell onto the chair.

Diao Zhuo put away his gun and said lightly, “Useless trash.”

The farce ended just like that. Everyone returned to their seats and the car continued on its way.

However, after driving for more than 20 minutes, the car stopped again. Even though they were sitting in the car, everyone could still feel their bodies being roasted by the high temperature. Even though the car was made of heat-resistant material, no one dared to continue going forward. If the car exploded in the high temperature, they might not even be able to leave their corpses intact, let alone complete the mission..
