Then he looked up at Chu Ci and couldn't help but smile even sweeter. He moved closer, and his thick black eyelashes, which had originally drooped and half-hidden his amber eyes, were now raised without reservation, and he smiled like an innocent child.
Chu Ci blinked, raised her hand and tapped his forehead, listening to his low groan of grievance, and lowered his head with his other hand. It was obvious that he didn't use much strength, but this guy was always pretending to be aggrieved.
Chu Ci found it funny, her pink lips curled slightly, and she was too lazy to pay attention to him. Then she looked up at Zhao Jiu who had been looking at her for a long time.
Seeing Chu Ci's attention finally on him, Zhao Jiu nodded calmly, "Dr. Chu Ci, I've long heard of your name. Yesterday's meeting was so rushed that I didn't have time to say much. I'm Zhao Jiu, the leader of this Z23 military team. My main mission this time is to bring Miss Chen Xiao back."
Because Zhao Jiu was in the army, her training intensity was extremely high. Her skin was different from the fair skin of ordinary girls. It was a healthy honey color. She was tall and slender. Under her black military uniform, you could faintly see her slightly bulging muscles. She looked at Chu Ci with a little sense of shock.
Chu Ci responded lazily, completely ignoring her warning. There was a perfunctory tone in her voice, not that of a superior person, but just a faint tone as if she had no interest. "I am Chu Ci."
Zhao Jiu frowned slightly, looked at Chu Ci looking around, and asked again, "When are we leaving?"
"About half an hour later, there are too many monsters in the city center. We need to observe carefully and discuss a route and countermeasures. Moreover, we can't take risks so easily with you. Doctor, you may be anxious to return to a safe area, but I can't ignore the lives of my team."
This is a bit harsh.
Chu Ci also frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Jiu, who was half a head taller than her and looked down at her in a very disgusting manner.
This was indeed an exaggeration. Zhao Jiu realized what he had said only after he had finished speaking. However, it was impossible for him to change his words now. Moreover, he was only a PhD in biology. Even if he had made some achievements, could he be compared with those senior scientists who were now well protected in their base?
She wanted to see what this arrogant guy who saved her life but still treated her as if she didn't care could say to her.
Zhao Jiu nodded slightly and looked down at Chu Ci condescendingly.
"Doctor Chu Ci, don't forget. My main mission is to bring the young lady back. Even if I abandon you along the way, it won't be a problem. Plus, you're carrying another burden with you. We still have a little time. I hope you'll think it over carefully, correct your attitude, and stop causing us trouble."
"Aunt Jiujiu." The words were so sharp that even Chen Xiao, who was still young and couldn't understand the roundabout meanings, couldn't help but speak. Sensitively aware of the tense atmosphere at the moment, she nervously raised her hand to hold Zhao Jiu's collar, with a hint of panic in her eyes.
Zhao Jiu, however, still looked calm and composed, as if everything was under control.
