Xie Qi smiled slightly, revealing a row of neat teeth. His smile revealed a kind of confidence and cunning: "Can't it be said to be shelter?" He asked back, with an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes.
Lu Ze frowned slightly and looked Xie Qi up and down, as if assessing whether he really needed their protection. After a moment, he shook his head and said calmly, "You don't look like someone who needs our protection."
Xie Qi deliberately pretended to be pitiful and said, "Oh, this is so sad. I am actually very fragile too."
Hearing this, Lu Ze was not fooled by his performance. He still calmly analyzed the situation and said, "So, you want us to protect you?" He asked again, his eyes fixed on Xie Qi.
Xie Qi, however, changed his pitiful and depressed look and replied seriously, "That's not the case."
Seeing this, Lu Muyang was immediately furious. He widened his eyes and yelled at Xie Qi, "How dare you play tricks on us!" As he said that, he was about to rush forward.
Lu Ze quickly reached out to stop Lu Muyang, signaling him to calm down. Then, looking at Xie Qi again, he asked word by word, "So, what do you want?"
Xie Qi looked at Lu Ze, whose mood had obviously changed more than before, and chuckled softly: "I heard that you have three abilities: thunder, fire, and water?"
Lu Ze took a deep breath and replied calmly: "I don't know where you heard it from, but it's correct."
"Then use your water ability to give me a bath."
The male protagonist possesses water-related abilities, so Xie Qi naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. Given the original owner's condition, he'd definitely go crazy if he didn't take a shower!
When Lu Ze heard Xie Qi's words, he was stunned for a moment. He had not expected Xie Qi to make such a request. After all, in everyone's impression, superpowers are used to kill zombies, not to take a bath.
At this moment, in order to ease the atmosphere, Yu Tian took the initiative to walk up to Xie Qi and said in a friendly manner: "Brother, you can go back to the base with us. As long as you help us find Professor Xie, the superiors will provide you with free accommodation with clean water for washing."
But after Xie Qi heard this, he didn't say anything. He just looked at them silently for a few seconds before putting on his sunglasses. Then he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Waiting to take a shower after returning to the base would be more painful than killing him. He should first look for some water nearby to take a shower, and then come to find the male protagonist and the others.
However, when Lu Ze saw Xie Qi turn around and leave without any warning, he couldn't help but feel a little confused and misunderstood. Could it be that the other party was unwilling to cooperate with them?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Ze realized that time was running out and he couldn't afford to miss any opportunity. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Okay! I promise you. But after this is done, you must tell us Professor Xie's whereabouts."
At this moment, Lu Ze knew it very well. Although he still had doubts about whether Xie Qi could really lead them to find the professor, he would never give up easily even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
As soon as the words fell, Xie Qi's originally stern face instantly broke into a smile. He turned around abruptly, strode towards him, and without saying a word, he tightly grasped Lu Ze's wrist: "Really?! Then let's get going."
Lu Ze was speechless for a moment. Although he felt somewhat conflicted, he nodded silently, expressing his tacit agreement.
The teammates who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw their captain being forcibly dragged away. After a moment's hesitation, they had no choice but to follow closely.
