Chapter 56

In San Francisco, inside a bar.

Du Xinzhen and his girlfriend were leisurely drinking coffee. However, in fact, Du Xinzhen had a faint frown on his forehead. He was troubled, and he had been worried about Zheng Xiaotian all week.

"Are you still thinking about your good friend?" his girlfriend asked.

"Yes, he saved my life. But now, the country has him locked up, and they even stripped him of his armor for research. They say they like his armor, but it's just an excuse. They're looking for a spy. If the robot wasn't powerful enough, the country would probably want to study the robot too," Du Xinzhen said.

"Don't talk nonsense!" his girlfriend immediately covered Du Xinzhen's mouth and said, "Do you know what you're saying? Do you know your current identity? You are the captain of the Anti-Crazy Special Forces. But you are questioning the country. This is suicide, do you know that?"

"What the country has done is indeed so. I'm just stating the facts," Du Xinzhen said.

"Some facts are not for you to state," his girlfriend shook her head.

A figure stepped into the bar.

Du Xinzhen, sensing something, turned his head and looked over. At this moment, he was completely stunned. Who did he see? He saw his good brother, Zheng Xiaotian. Go!

Zheng Xiaotian slowly walked toward Du Xinzhen. He had negotiated with Megatron and agreed to cooperate. Megatron only wanted the energy columns, and his job was to get the energy columns. With his physical strength, he couldn't get the energy columns. So now, he could build a relationship with Du Xinzhen. The armor was being modified, and once it was done, it would be given to him.

Zheng Xiaotian knew that modification was one aspect, but surveillance was another. The armor, modified by Megatron, would become a full surveillance device. Eventually, he would be under constant surveillance. There was a way out, unless he completely gave up the armor. Then, he would win.

"Brother, my good brother," Du Xinzhen stood up and welcomed Zheng Xiaotian, then gave him a bear hug.

"Ugh, I can't breathe," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"I was too forceful," Du Xinzhen quickly released Zheng Xiaotian.

Du Xinzhen's girlfriend looked at Zheng Xiaotian with a suspicious eye. She didn't believe that the security agency would release him without coming here to claim credit. If it were her, she would call Du Xinzhen, the captain of the Anti-Terrorism Unit, and say, "After careful consideration and investigation, I can't determine anything, but I'll give you a face." She wouldn't miss that call.

Without that call, Du Xinzhen's girlfriend could only suspect how this guy got out.

"Did they release you?" Du Xinzhen asked.

"No!" Zheng Xiaotian shook his head.

"If they didn't release you, how did you get out?" Du Xinzhen was stunned. He had worked hard to save Zheng Xiaotian. He had even studied that special prison. At least, without scanning the iris or swiping a card, relying on brute force to break in would probably only be possible with Optimus Prime. Explosives and other methods wouldn't work well.

"The power went out, I opened the door, and then I came out," Zheng Xiaotian smiled.

"Power outage?" Du Xinzhen was suspicious.

"Lean in, I'll tell you quietly, don't tell anyone else," Zheng Xiaotian beckoned to Du Xinzhen.

Du Xinzhen leaned down.

"Actually, the Decepticon robots came and caused a big mess, stealing something. I took advantage of the power outage and ran out," Zheng Xiaotian whispered.

"Since you're out, I guarantee you won't have to go back," Du Xinzhen patted his chest.

At that moment, Zheng Xiaotian felt a killing intent.

Zheng Xiaotian raised his right hand and instantly lifted the table that was bolted to the ground.

Du Xinzhen's girlfriend was shocked. The table was heading straight for her face.

It got closer and closer.

The table was just 0.01 millimeters away from Du Xinzhen's girlfriend. At that moment, the table flew up. The next second, it landed on her back.

Ding, ding, ding. The table surface was hit with a powerful impact. The sound was like bullets.

"Someone wants to kill me?" Du Xinzhen was stunned.

"Ha, isn't that obvious?" Zheng Xiaotian said calmly.

"Decepticon robots," Du Xinzhen's eyes turned dark.

"I don't think that's likely," Zheng Xiaotian shook his head and said, "If the Decepticon robots wanted to get rid of you, they wouldn't use a long-range machine gun; they would just stab your heart up close."

"Besides the Decepticon robots, who would be so bored as to want to kill me?" Du Xinzhen was puzzled.

"It depends on who you've offended. Whoever you've offended might want to get rid of you," Zheng Xiaotian said casually.

Du Xinzhen immediately remembered his earlier anti-government remarks. His first target was the security agency.

"Where's the armor? Release the armor and catch a live one to ask," Du Xinzhen grabbed Zheng Xiaotian's arms.

"Wasn't the armor confiscated by the security agency? It's good enough that I could get out. Do you expect me to bring the armor out as well?" Zheng Xiaotian looked at Du Xinzhen. He thought, if I say I ran out and took the armor, wouldn't that clearly tell the security agency that their guards are useless? Wouldn't that clearly show that I'm working with the Decepticons? I must not admit that the armor is with me, I must not!

"Without the armor, it's a mess. It's over, over, over," Du Xinzhen shook his head and said, "First, facing so many bullets, whether you can withstand them is one thing. Then, without catching a live one, I can't determine who wants to harm me. It's frustrating!"

"You can catch a live one without the armor," Zheng Xiaotian said calmly, "Stay here, don't move. I'll be back."

"What are you going to do?" Du Xinzhen grabbed Zheng Xiaotian's wrist.

"Catch a live one," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"You can't catch a live one without the armor. Are you bulletproof?" Du Xinzhen said irritably.

"I have my ways, don't worry," Zheng Xiaotian then picked up a few knives from the ground. He inserted the knives into the gaps between his fingers on his right hand.

Zheng Xiaotian held three knives in his left hand and three in his right. The feeling was just like Wolverine. Well, at this moment, he was indeed copying Wolverine's style.

Whoosh!

Zheng Xiaotian shot out.
