Chapter 1937 Black Triangle
The blood all over Jin Beibei’s body flooded to her head before it froze right below her skull.
She forgot the two children’s nonsense immediately. The threat in front of her eyes was more real and imminent!
The Dragon Snake Space Zone had been chaotic recently. The deterrence of all the gangs and forces had been lowered to the minimum in front of the desperadoes who were in a hurry to get away.
Rumors had spread months ago that the leader of the Furious Lion Gang owed bloody debts in the Uranian Ring Sector and even once murdered a lot of headhunters from the federation. He was believed to be a must-kill target for the federation.
Whoever annihilated the Furious Lion Gang and chopped off the boss’s head would perhaps be pardoned by the federation.
Jin Beibei and her father were not exactly members of the Furious Lion Gang. In fact, they had been half coerced and half kidnapped. They only managed to survive in the den of tigers and wolves with their remarkable handicraft in welding.
However, at this moment, the Furious Lion Gang became their only reliance. However despicable the gangsters were, the desperadoes outside would certainly be a hundred times viler!
“We’re screwed!”
Having spent more than ten years in the Leo Dock, Jin Beibei was certainly not a strengthless, vulnerable woman. She simply picked up a storm bolter that was even thicker than her thigh from a corner of the warehouse. Then she patted the welding gun hanging on her waist and shouted at the two kids, telling them to stay here, before she left the warehouse in a hurry.
Explosions came from docks and maintenance workshops nonstop. The never-ending shrieks inside the communication channel made Jin Beibei’s heart heavier and heavier.
The most dreadful thing that had worried her for months finally happened.
The leader of the Furious Lion Gang had been killed in Fish Dragon City earlier that day. After his fall, most of the forces and businesses that belonged to the Furious Lion Gang had immediately collapsed.
The desperadoes who had been staying on the ten or so starships that were to be modified and upgraded in the Leo Dock immediately changed their mind. They looted the Leo Dock, trying to steal fuel, magical equipment units, and excellent technicians, all of which were necessary for a long space voyage.
The Leo Dock had become a living hell.
When the bandits on the ten or so starships attacked abruptly, the gangsters in the dock were caught unprepared and half defeated the moment they engaged.
Smoke and fire were rising everywhere. Countless members of the Furious Lion Gang were directly tossed into the flames.
The fiendish fire triggered by special fuel could not be extinguished even after they jumped into the cooling pools. They could only be burnt to ash in the middle of ear-splitting screams.
The feeble resistance was soon suppressed. Jin Beibei vaguely saw more than ten brawny men in crystal suits coming to the rear with thirty or so beast puppets in the form of spiders, scorpions, and hounds.
She was not a dedicated combatant after all, and her body rose higher than she should have when she peeped at the enemy’s movement, which gave her away immediately.
A few brawny men waved their hands, and more than ten beast puppets jumped on her.
Hiu!
She pulled the trigger subconsciously, only to be shaken so violently by the powerful recoil that her legs trembled hard. A cluster of glittering waves darted out of the barrel and disappeared without even touching a hair of the desperadoes.
She was about to adjust her breath and shoot again when a rusted, mechanical hound crashed into her chest brutally like a cannonball!
Jin Beibei heard the cracks of her ribs. Half of her scream was stuffed back into her throat. The world dimmed before her eyes as she passed out.
When she woke up again because of the excruciating pain in her abdomen, she discovered sadly that only half a minute had passed.
More than ten brawny men who were breathing rapidly surrounded her like a high wall, blocking the artificial sunlight from the dome.
They had all taken off their helmets, revealing their scarred, hideous faces mixed with brutality and evilness.
Their eyes seemed to have grown teeth, trying to chew and swallow Jin Beibei from her toes centimeter by centimeter.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I didn’t expect such a precious good to be hidden inside the Leo Dock!”
A man with a spider tattoo on his face chuckled. Grabbing Jin Beibei’s neck and picking her up, he extended his lumpy, hot tongue to Jin Beibei’s soft cheek, with dirty brilliance beaming out of his eyes.
“So sweet…”
The nightmarish scene made Jin Beibei struggle hard and kick the man’s crystal suit.
Naturally, it was utterly useless other than turning her own feet numb.
She almost felt like crying. Waving her hands crazily, she suddenly touched an everyday item from the back of her waist that she had been using.
In a movement as fast as lightning, Jin Beibei adjusted the tiny welding gun to the highest temperature and pressed it at the man’s face.
“Argh!”
The scoundrel with a spider tattoo was about to taste delicious food. It never occurred to him that a thorn would be hidden below the food. His eyes were nearly blinded by the welding gun. Thankfully, the welding gun had just been activated by Jin Beibei, so the temperature was not very high.
Even so, a black spot the size of a chess piece was burnt below an eye of the brawny man.
The bandits around were slightly dazed, before they burst into wild laughter. Somebody chuckled and cheered for Jin Beibei, and some even directly mocked the man with the spider tattoo who was so impatient that he had lost the most basic wariness.
“You filthy b*tch!”
Being humiliated in front of his fellows, the man with the spider tattoo could not have been more infuriated. With brutality beaming out of his eyes, he gritted his teeth and exerted more strength to grab Jin Beibei’s neck, which was pinched so hard that she felt that she was being beheaded.
“Enough.”
A low, deep roar suddenly echoed behind the man with a spider tattoo. Somebody kicked him right in the waist and blew him away.
Naturally, Jin Beibei fell to the ground as a result. Her head was dizzy, and the world was swirling around her.
In a trance, Jin Beibei saw a bald man more than 2.2 meters tall, whose eyes had been modified and replaced with deep black crystal cameras, walking close to her.
There was also an upside-down triangle on the greasy forehead of the bald man. At the center of the tattoo was the pattern of an eyeball filled with black stripes.
Black Triangle!
Jin Beibei did not feel any joy upon being saved.
She recognized the tattoo and knew that the bald man nicknamed ‘Black Triangle’ was an infamously brutal man in the Dragon Snake Space Zone and a ruthless bounty hunter. He was a lunatic who did not hesitate to let a hundred civilians die with the target in order to complete the mission.
Jin Beibei did not feel that such a man would take interest in saving a damsel in distress.
As expected, Black Triangle’s cold eyes rolled over her before he casually said, “There’s no telling how long we will have to lay low in the sea of stars this time. This b*tch seems healthy and strong enough for our brothers to play with for a couple of years. If you kill her here, I will directly squeeze your balls out without using a knife and ask you to eat them. Is that clear?”
The ferocious bandits were all frightened. The man with the spider tattoo was even shuddering hard in fear. He shrank his neck and said, “Very—very clear, big brother!”
Jin Beibei’s soul was completely frozen. With courage that came from nowhere, she used the last bit of her strength to draw a dagger from her waist and stab into her own throat.
Crack!
Her arm was directly broken by a rock that Black Triangle kicked out.
Clang!
The dagger fell to the ground together with Jin Beibei’s last hope. She was in such agony that she was not even able to scream.
“Furthermore…” Black Triangle was utterly expressionless. He eyed Jin Beibei as if he were examining a good that was in a rather good condition. He turned back and asked, “Old man, is this your daughter?”
A swollen, bleeding middle-aged man was escorted out by two bandits while vomiting blood.
“Dad!”
Although her father had been deformed due to torture, Jin Beibei still recognized him immediately.
“Beibei!”
Her father’s eyeballs almost exploded out of his eye sockets as he shouted desperately, but he was punched heavily in the mouth. A few of his teeth were blown away, and whatever was left of his voice was pressed back into his throat. He could only struggle hard, like a frog whose limbs had been cut off.
“Very well.” Black Triangle looked at them, utterly unmoved. He even put on a smile as the father and the daughter bled and cried. “The father and the daughter are both welding technicians that will be very useful for our long voyage. Watch over them closely after we get them on board. Try not to kill them.”
“Understood!”
All the bandits around nodded before they moved forward and picked up Jin Beibei.
“Dad! Dad! Dad!” Jin Beibei struggled with all her strength, kicking and hitting like a beast that had gone mad.
“Listen up, bi*ch.” Black Triangle had seen too many scenes like that. “My brothers are always gentle with women. If you cooperate with us obediently, chances are that we will set your father and you free in a few years. But if you are determined to kill yourself, I will have someone do the things that are supposed to be done to you to your father every day. Do you understand?”
“Ah! Argh!” Jin Beibei and her father had a complete meltdown, letting out humanly impossible screams.
The sound of the dock being burnt down with the explosions, the collapses, the screams of the innocent and the laughter of the bandit, composed an ear-splitting melody that could not have been heard often even in hell.
Right then…
“Sister Beibei, are you uncomfortable?”
Two voices that were almost impossible to hear in the living hell spread out from the metal ruins in front of everyone.
The voices were made by two… children less than ten years old, who were glimmering all over their bodies and did not fit into the current scene at all. There seemed no reason for them to appear in this place.
The two cute, innocent kids each held a glass of milk in one hand and a cake in the other, while they blinked their shining eyes and stared at everyone with great curiosity.
