Lu Yang's face was pale, and him looking for him every day…
That would be even scarier.
"Just one month?"
Hearing his thoughts, Xu Qian suppressed a smile. Was he really that socially awkward?
She nodded very seriously, "Just one month. We'll do missions together, take leave together, and split the points fifty-fifty."
For the sake of the future, Lu Yang gritted his teeth and nodded.
Xu Qian smiled secretly and said, "Just call me Qian. I'm a mental ability user. What about you?"
Lu Yang scratched his head and replied softly, "My name is Lu Yang, a water ability user."
Xu Qian was about to exchange pleasantries when suddenly there was a huge splash.
A creature resembling a dinosaur emerged from the reservoir. Its neck was very long, and its body was submerged in the water.
However... it was evident that it was very large.
Its mouth opened, and it desperately sprayed black water outwards.
Lu Yang's eyes widened, and he stammered, "This is the largest reservoir in our Hope Base. If it gets polluted, tens of thousands of people won't have water to drink."
The water from Hope Base didn't just supply their own base; almost all the water and electricity for all bases in Province G were provided by Hope Base.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and activated her abilities, only to discover that this creature didn't have a crystal core.
Another product of the X Group's research.
The girl frowned. The X Group had been making a lot of small moves recently.
What exactly was Song Xiaoping trying to do?
As a thought crossed Xu Qian's mind, a combat knife appeared in her palm.
Suddenly, a torrent of water rushed towards the mutated beast, knocking it off balance.
The mutated beast turned its head and saw the two people on the shore. Its orange eyes flared, and it quickly charged towards the shore.
As it came ashore, its massive size was gradually revealed.
The ground shook with each step. It opened its mouth and spewed black venom towards them.
The two quickly dodged.
The black liquid in the water gradually spread. Lu Yang's expression tightened, and he said urgently:
"Qian, can you hold it off for a while? The reservoir water is being polluted. If it's not dealt with soon, I'm afraid something bad will happen!"
"Go."
Xu Qian spread her wings of flight and swung her long saber towards its head.
With a "crack,"
A piece of its neck broke off, but it quickly grew back.
Xu Qian: ...
Lu Yang didn't have time to be surprised. He turned and ran towards the reservoir.
He stepped on the water surface, his arms spread wide, and the polluted black water all floated up.
Lu Yang's face tensed. He reached out and absorbed the black water into his body, then quickly converted it into purified water and began to reverse the flow.
Xu Qian frowned. She couldn't cut it, and if she did, it would just grow back.
"Ding, Host, directly put it into your space."
The girl directly closed her eyes and used her abilities to cover it, storing it in her space.
The system automatically processed it.
Soon, the water turned clear and transparent. Lu Yang's face was pale as he slowly walked down from the water.
Seeing that he could barely stand, Xu Qian supported him.
He was covered in sweat but still smiled faintly, "Thank you."
"Ding, Lu Yang's friendship level +5, total friendship level is 5 points."
Xu Qian sighed inwardly. Lu Yang truly lived up to his reputation as one of the ten strongest, able to manipulate water so skillfully.
In a moment of crisis, he could still think about everyone's water supply.
"Qian, we need to report back to Hope Base."
"No need," Xu Qian patted her hands, and a figure in black flashed and appeared before her.
"Report back."
Although the man in black's face couldn't be seen, his furrowed brows were clearly visible.
His mission was to follow Xu Qian and protect her, not to run errands.
Seeing him standing still, Xu Qian raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Such a big incident, shouldn't we inform the person in charge?"
The man in black paused, as if it made sense.
"Miss Xu... Miss Xu, then I'll go report first. Please don't wander off."
Xu Qian nodded, "I'll go do my mission later and will return when I'm done."
"Yes."
The man in black nodded, flashed, and disappeared again.
Lu Yang stood by, dumbfounded. What an incredible person he had gotten involved with.
He even knew the person in charge?
