Chapter 477 - 477: Even if I Did, What Can You Do To Me?
Xia Ju could not help but frown. “You talk a lot. I made it on my own. 1 didn’t make much. 1 only have what you just saw. It’s not very troublesome to make, but the raw materials are very difficult to obtain.”
While Xia Ju was explaining, Diao Zhuo had already gone over to take a look at the remaining drug. When he heard that it was difficult to get the raw materials, he immediately became nervous.
“Hard to find? How hard is it to find? What ingredients do you need? When we get back to the base, 1’11 help you talk to the base and ask them to help you find the things!”
Although Diao Zhuo’s research direction was different from Xia Ju’s, they were both researchers. Diao Zhuo understood what the drug meant to the base. If they could really develop it in batches, then the safety of those who came out to the surface would be guaranteed!
Xia Ju glanced at Du Yue from the corner of her eyes and said, “1 need a fruit called the Snowy Cold Fruit.”
“Snowy Cold Fruit?”
Diao Zhuo thought of himself as someone who had seen quite a lot of the world. He had seen and eaten all kinds of expensive fruits, but he had never heard of the Snowy Cold Fruit. Xia Ju took out three Snowy Cold Fruits from her bag.
“This is it. I have the last three with me.”
“You carry the fruit around with you?”
“Of course, I have to carry it with me. What if someone steals such an important thing?”
Diao Zhuo nodded. It was indeed safer to keep such an important item on her.
The Snowy Cold Fruit had been taken out of the space for a long time. Its skin was already wrinkled, like an apple that had been dried. Even the color of the skin w’as not as white as when it was first taken out.
Diao Zhuo reached out to take it, but Xia Ju quickly retracted her hand, not letting Diao Zhuo touch the fruit. Diao Zhuo w’as stunned, but he did not get angry. If this drug w’as really extracted from this fruit, then this thing was not just ordinary. If it were him, he would not allow’ anyone else to touch it either. Diao Zhuo stared at the Snowy Cold Fruit for a long time before he said carefully, “It looks a little like a smaller pear…”
Xia Ju put the Snowy Cold Fruits into her bag. “You can go find some pears to try and see if the effect is the same.”
Diao Zhuo was not angry at Xia Ju’s indifferent retort. If this was before the apocalypse, he would have bought a truckload of pears for people to study. However, at this time, it w’as not so easy to find a pear. Moreover, from Xia Ju’s attitude, he knew that this Snowy Cold Fruit wTas definitely not a pear.
Diao Zhuo looked at Xia Ju again with a fawning expression. “Xia Ju, may 1 know where 1 can find this Snowy Cold Fruit?”
Xia Ju looked at him and told him the truth, “The first base.”
Diao Zhuo looked at Xia Ju in surprise. “Are you sure it’s the first base?”
Xia Ju’s expression darkened. No matter who it w’as, they would feel a little uncomfortable being suspected.
Diao Zhuo looked at Xia Ju’s unfriendly expression and knew’ that she wTas definitely telling the truth. Diao Zhuo’s lips twitched. He wanted to ask Xia Ju how she got the Snowy Cold Fruit from the first base. If she was in the first base, why did she come to the fourth base? However, when the w’ords reached his mouth, he sw’allow’ed them. Xia Ju was not a criminal, so there w’as no reason for him to ask so many questions.
Although he held back his w’ords, Diao Zhuo could not help but be curious. His gaze would fall on Xia Ju from time to time. Xia Ju felt his gaze and pretended not to notice. In the short while they w’ere chatting about the Snowy Cold Fruit, Li Zhonghao’s hand had gotten much better. Xia Ju examined him carefully. “His injuries aren’t serious. He should be able to recover within a w’eek if he continues using the medicine. However, there might be a scar on his arm.”
Li Zhonghao had just opened his eyes when he heard Xia Ju’s words. He moved his lips. “What do you mean 1 can recover within a w’eek?”
Was she talking about the wound that came from Diao Zhuo stabbing him?
Xia Ju raised her chin and pointed at his arm. “The injury on your arm.”
Li Zhonghao w’as still confused. “The injury on my arm? How’ did I injure my arm?”
As he asked, he subconsciously looked at his arm.
When he saw the pits on his arm that had been corroded and the festering wound, Li Zhonghao w’as so shocked that his entire body began to tremble violently. “Diao Zhuo, it must be Diao Zhuo. How dare you harm me?!”
Diao Zhuo sneered. “Even if I did harm you, what can you do to me?” Diao Zhuo’s tone w’as domineering, leaving Du Yue speechless..
