However, even after these people said all they could, Xia Ju had already made up her mind. Naturally, she would not be swayed by them. Xia Ju insisted, and the base could not force her to stay. In the end, they had no choice but to let her go with the rest. However, the base was well-prepared. The list of test pilots was changed several times. Finally, a few mechanical experts were removed and replaced with bodyguards, who were responsible for Xia Ju’s safety. Before Du Yue left, she put all the things she had placed in the room back into her space. No one knew what would happen after this trip.
If they did not plan to come back, they would clean up the place in advance. When the people from the base came to check in the future, they would not notice anything wrong. If they came back in the end, it would not be too troublesome to take out the things in the space again. Before they set off, Du Yue and the rest did not know who the so-called bodyguards were. It was only when they arrived at the gathering place that they saw the people waiting there to set off together. Du Yue did not know the others, but she was very familiar with the man leading the group. It was Guan Sheng.
Seeing Guan Sheng, Du Yue raised her eyebrow slightly. There was really an unbreakable fate between them! Xia Zhixing had told her that she and Guan Sheng lived in Area D, but they had never met each other. It was probably because they lived on other floors. Du Yue did not expect to see someone she had not seen for a long time on such an occasion. Although they had known each other for a long time, the three of them did not have the intention to greet Guan Sheng. Guan Sheng did not come up to them either. The man sitting on the right side of Guan Sheng stood up first. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Zhonghao. I’m the captain of the security team for this operation. My main mission this time is to protect Miss Xia Ju. The person beside me is called Guan Sheng, and he’s the vice-captain of the security team. The other three are all team members.”
There were only ten people in the car, and five of the seats were occupied by the security team. It could be seen how precious Xia Ju was to the base now.
In some ways, it was a good thing that the base cared about Xia Ju. If Xia Ju chose to stay in the base, her life would definitely be prosperous. However, if Xia Ju wanted to leave, it would not be easy. Xia Ju’s expression was normal. She only nodded slightly at Li Zhonghao as a greeting. Xia Ju wore a pair of sunglasses on her nose, covering her distinctive eyes. At this moment, she did not speak or smile. She just nodded. In the eyes of the security team, she was a little arrogant.
Du Yue was a little worried at first. After all, they were going to sit in the same car and go out for a test drive later. It would not be good if things got too tense. However, Du Yue soon realized that her worries were completely unnecessary. Not only did Li Zhonghao and the others not feel the slightest bit of anger, but when they looked at Xia Ju again, the reverence in their eyes increased. A team member in the corner was whispering to the people beside him, saying that it was normal for capable people to have different temperaments because they had the ability.
Du Yue actually felt that his words made sense! As long as one had the ability to sit in a position that ordinary people could not reach, no matter how absurd one’s actions were or how heaven-defying one’s words were, someone would find a reasonable excuse for one. As the saying went, the harder you work, the more special you are. Du Yue didn’t listen to their conversation anymore. She turned to look at He Xing. “Why haven’t we set off yet? Who else are we waiting for?”
He Xing forced a helpless smile. “This is the first test drive. The leader of the base is coming to meet us.”
Du Yue was speechless. What kind of situation was this, and they still had to speak to the base’s leader? Ever since Du Yue came to the fourth base, she had been disgusted by the leader and the higher-ups. Now, she hated them even more.
The group of people waited in boredom for 20 minutes. The leader of the base finally arrived. Then, he chatted for more than ten minutes. He was dignified. When he finally left, it was almost noon.
Although there was thick fog and volcanic ash outside, and they could not see the sun be it day or night, it was not good that they were delayed! Du Yue finally perked up when she heard the order to set off. After waiting for so long, she almost fell asleep. Before setting off, everyone had to change their clothes. To be precise, they had to put on protective clothing on top of their existing clothes. This layer of protective clothing could not only lower the temperature but also prevent radiation.
As the material was the best, they did not look puffy and could move freely. After putting on the protective clothing, they had to put on the protective masks too..
