"Driver?"
Listening to Lu Xin's words, Chen Jing seemed a little surprised. "I thought the last thing you needed was a driver."
Lu Xin knows why she thinks so. People with Spider-type's abilities should be particularly good at driving. Ordinary drivers, no matter how experienced they are, are not as good as the operations that Spider-type ability users can perform casually when using their abilities. This is a matter of talent.
He didn't explain in detail, just nodded and said, "It's still needed."
Then while thinking about it, he slowly narrated. "I hope to have a high-performance car, which is convenient for traveling and can provide us with enough food and water for ten days; a driver who is good at driving, preferably not an ordinary driver. When necessary, he may need a little self-protection ability... It would be better if he could be more familiar with me, and we can talk on the road..."
"..."
Chen Jing reacted faster this time and said, "Are you talking about Gecko?"
At this time, Gecko, who was lying by the window and looking at the beauty intently, was obviously startled, and his ears moved slightly.
Lu Xin looked at Gecko, nodded and said, "Yes."
Gecko suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Xin, with obvious panic in his eyes.
Chen Jing was also silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Is he listening nearby now?"
Lu Xin said, "Yeah."
Chen Jing seemed to have a smile in his voice as he said, "Then just let him get ready."
Lu Xin nodded again, with a smile on his face, "Yes."
Then hung up the phone.
"Wait!"
The moment the call was hung up, Gecko rushed over. He jumped directly onto the conference table, stretched his head and shouted into the satellite phone, "What do you mean you told me to go ahead and get ready? Did I agree? Did you forget to ask my opinion?"
"Hey..."
"Hello?"
"..."
Seeing Gecko's nervous and frightened look, Lu Xin kindly reminded, "It's already dead."
Gecko looked at Lu Xin with wide eyes, almost crying, "Brother, what did you say? Why do you have to take me with you?"
Lu Xin said calmly, "Listening to what you just said, you should be very experienced in life outside the city..."
"Having experience and this are two different things..."
Gecko's face wrinkled up and he shouted frantically, "It's precisely because of my experience that I don't want to go out..."
"Why did I become the driver..."
"Are we now issuing orders without our own consent?"
"..."
Lu Xin looked at the nervous Gecko, and looked at him with a slightly apologetic smile.
He didn't want to take the investigation team and reconnaissance team out because he was worried that something unexpected would happen and it would be bad for them.
But Gecko should be better than them.
First, Gecko had been instructed by certain people to monitor him.
Secondly, Gecko had previously expressed his kindness to his family and always wanted to visit his home.
Going out together this time can be regarded as satisfying his wish.
Of course, you don't have to explain these things to Gecko, nor do you need to convince him.
Lu Xin feels that Gecko should receive a call soon...
Sure enough, just as he was thinking about it, the satellite phone Gecko hung on his back suddenly rang.
Lu Xin sat quietly in the conference room, looking through the training materials that he had not finished before.
When you go out this time, you may face many problems, so the more you know about these things, the better.
"Brother, brother..."
My sister didn't know when she appeared next to Lu Xin, and she crawled around happily in the conference room. She excitedly said to Lu Xin, "That guy was on the phone. He seemed to be very scared. He kept saying that he agreed to be recruited in order to make some money and not be caught while taking care of other people's business. He would marry three wives and have a lot of children in the future..."
After a while, he crawled back. "He said he is from the Special Purity Department, not from the City Defense Department..."
He quickly replied angrily, "He is talking bad about you now, should I deal with him?"
"..."
Lu Xin shook his head and whispered, "What is the other party talking about?"
My sister said, "I'll get closer and listen..."
With that said, he climbed out happily.
Lu Xin thought of the scene where his sister was hanging upside down on the roof of the building, listening to the phone with her face close to Gecko's face, and couldn't help but shake her head.
"There have been several different people on the other end of the phone. Some are talking to him, and some seem to be threatening him..."
My sister quickly crawled back and said, "But this guy doesn't take soft and hard tactics. He will never leave the city even if he jumps from the fourth floor..."
Lu Xin was a little surprised when he heard this. "He probably wouldn't have died if he jumped from the fourth floor..."
The younger sister went out quickly and came back very quickly. "It has changed again. It seems that someone has promised him. As long as he can successfully cooperate with you to complete the task, after he comes back, he will arrange a training mission at Main City. Then there will be a tough guy there too..."
"..."
Hearing this, Lu Xin felt relieved.
This time, it's done!
Gecko, who ran out to answer the phone, came back unhappy five minutes later.
He stood the satellite phone on the table, then sat silently on the chair, with his hands crossed on his chest and his head lowered.
It seemed like he was a little autistic.
But apart from being autistic, the corners of his mouth would curl up from time to time, as if he was a little uncontrollably excited.
Lu Xin looked at it and felt that he seemed a little abnormal...
"What did you say?"
After waiting for a while, he finally broke the weird atmosphere in the conference room and asked with some concern.
Gecko took a long time to sigh, his face looked a little solemn, and said, "The headquarters has made a decision."
He raised his head, looked at Lu Xin with a serious face, and said in a deep voice, "The superiors decided to let the two of us form a special operations team. I am Deputy Captain, and you are the captain. In addition, since it is an urgent tracking mission, we must seize all the time. The intelligence information of the relevant people is being transmitted, and the supplies we need are being prepared. We are expected to set off in half an hour."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "I didn't expect it to be so early."
But then I realized that the purpose was to track down the fleeing knights, so naturally the faster the better.
Gecko nodded, his expression gradually changed, and he sighed, "Brother, you don't know how much I have done for you. I had already persuaded the leader to change you a driver just now, but I thought about it carefully. After all, it is so dangerous outside the city, so..."
Lu Xin took a deep look at Gecko and said, "Thank you so much..."
Gecko felt a little guilty when he looked at him, and said sternly, "It doesn't matter, it's all what I should do. I..."
He sighed while talking, his voice was low, and judging from the brewing of feelings, he seemed to want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Lu Xin.
But when he raised his head, he suddenly stopped talking. He found that Lu Xin was not looking at him, but looking at another place.
Lu Xin sat on the chair and looked down, as if looking at a person squatting on the ground.
After listening carefully for a while, he stretched out his hand to touch the air about knee height, smiling a little fondly.
"Okay."
Then he said softly, "He will accompany us out this time because he is good at driving and can help."
"No, you can't treat him like a toy."
His expression became serious and he said, "The first important principle for our trip out of the city is not to hurt him."
The surroundings were quiet, without any movement.
Lu Xin After a while, he sighed softly, his expression seemed to be compromised, and he gave in slightly.
"Then, try not to hurt him?"
"Brother, although I don't know who you are talking to, but..."
Gecko watched from the side, his eyes straightened, cold sweat dripping from his pale face, and his voice was panicked:
"Are you serious when you say 'try your best'?"
