Chapter 52

"Warrior, I want to invite you for a cup of coffee," Du Xinzhen smiled at Zheng Xiaotian. He used his smile to show that he had no ulterior motives and to demonstrate his kindness.

"Are you really inviting me for coffee, or do you feel that life is full of danger and you want me to protect you?" Zheng Xiaotian's armor retreated back into his body with a thought.

"Brother, you're joking. I'm an expert at killing mechs, so I definitely don't need protection," Du Xinzhen waved his hand. "However, I do think this world is full of dangers. You can take off your helmet to drink coffee, but keep the armor on your body. It's always good to be ready for battle, don't you think?"

When the Decepticon bird launched its assassination attempt, the first person Du Xinzhen thought of was Optimus Prime. He almost fled to find Qin Tianzhu. Now, with the human armor in front of him, it was like having insurance. So, he decided to latch onto this guy.

"In an instant, the armor can return to my body. So, there's no need!" Zheng Xiaotian waved his hand, full of confidence, like a special forces soldier. It was a posture that completely disregarded the current situation.

"Alright then." Du Xinzhen didn't say anything more. He had given his warning, and the other party remained indifferent as always. It was clear that the other party had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Du Xinzhen and Zheng Xiaotian arrived at the café. Two cups of coffee were served, and the two of them sipped leisurely, enjoying the bustling traffic outside the window and the peaceful atmosphere.

"Bro, I haven't asked, what do you do?" Du Xinzhen looked at Zheng Xiaotian and asked.

"I'm someone who feels the atmosphere of life. You can think of me as an artist," Zheng Xiaotian said casually.

An artist? Du Xinzhen wouldn't believe it even if his life depended on it. Which artist would wear a combat suit? Which artist would kill someone with a single move? Which artist would have bloodstained hands?

"I sincerely want to find someone to be a partner. I wonder if you, as an artist, are interested," Du Xinzhen said.

"Um..." Zheng Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "You should know that artists are usually broke. If you're counting on me to invest, that might be a bit difficult."

"Talking about money is so vulgar. Let's not talk about that, it hurts feelings. Just nod, and you can join our team, and you can better experience life," Du Xinzhen said grandly.

Zheng Xiaotian actually knew what the other party wanted to say. It was simply to have him as a bodyguard. This way, they could have a smooth journey in finding Optimus Prime. Now, Optimus Prime was out of contact with the other party.

Zheng Xiaotian nodded.

Night fell.

Du Xinzhen, his blonde girlfriend, Zheng Xiaotian, and two Autobot robots were in a yellow sports car that looked a bit like an antique. The car was stopped in front of a checkpoint, and several armed soldiers blocked the way.

"I want to find Optimus Prime, don't block my way," Du Xinzhen shouted.

"What Optimus Prime? I don't know what you're talking about," the soldier waved his hand. "Don't cause trouble, this is a government building. Go play somewhere else."

"Did you not understand what I said? The Decepticons are back, and they tried to assassinate me today. Now, I want to find Optimus Prime," Du Xinzhen shouted loudly.

"I already said there's no Optimus Prime. Go play somewhere else," the soldier's attitude was firm.

"You're acting like an idiot, you don't even know that the end of the world is coming," Du Xinzhen pointed at the soldier outside the car window. "I'm telling you seriously, this is the last time I'm saying it, I want to find Optimus Prime. The matter is important, don't mess around with me."

"Get out!" The soldier pointed his gun at Du Xinzhen. Not only that, but three other guns were also aimed at the car, including Zheng Xiaotian.

"Bro, I'm telling you seriously, I'm not angry yet. So, it's best to put down your toy gun. Otherwise, I'll beat you so badly your mother won't recognize you," Zheng Xiaotian said to the gun's owner.

"You're the same, get out!" The soldier shouted at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Very well, you've made your choice." Zheng Xiaotian's armor instantly covered his body. He extended his left hand and grabbed the gun. With a forceful pull, the gun was bent with a creaking sound.

Zheng Xiaotian pushed the gun with his hand.

The soldier was almost pushed to the ground by Zheng Xiaotian.

Zheng Xiaotian opened the car door and got out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The soldiers followed procedure, and in the face of a threat, they legally and reasonably opened fire.

However, these bullets were no threat to Zheng Xiaotian. Although his ammunition reserves were not mentioned, and he had no combat stats, it didn't stop him from being immune to bullet attacks.

"Bumblebee, Bumblebee, come quickly," Du Xinzhen, seeing the fight start, hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Take him down!" One soldier put down his submachine gun and gripped a dagger, preparing to engage Zheng Xiaotian in close combat.

The other soldiers followed suit. They put down their guns and gripped their daggers to fight Zheng Xiaotian. They thought that compared to the several-meter-tall Autobot robots, this one who was less than two meters tall, shorter than Yao the giant, was nothing to fear.

Zheng Xiaotian smiled. He wasn't afraid of bullets, so why would he be afraid of a dagger? Since the other party wanted to play, he would oblige.

Swish, swish, swish, the soldiers lunged at Zheng Xiaotian. At this moment, their eyes were filled with cold, sinister, and murderous intent.

Zheng Xiaotian's face was covered by his armor. If the armor were exposed, he would have a completely indifferent expression, as if the other party was not even worth considering.

A yellow sports car shot out from inside. Before it reached the entrance, it transformed into a robot. Bumblebee had arrived. The tense standoff that was about to turn into a battle came to an end.

Du Xinzhen hurriedly ran to Bumblebee and waved at everyone. "Let's go, don't just stand here staring at those idiots."
