Chapter Twenty-Six: Hero Pass

As soon as Su Jing walked out of the door of the dormitory, four armed men handcuffed him. The high-strength alloy handcuffs, even if they are heated at extremely high temperatures, take at least five minutes to fuse, and coupled with the attached temperature alarm device, Su Jing believes that if he makes any abnormal move, he will be executed by the supervisors as soon as possible.

Under the supervision of four members of the armed forces holding assault rifles, Su Jing had no choice but to obediently obey orders, was hooded, and escorted to the elevator of the base.

Through the perspective of the demon hunter, Su Jing saw that he was standing in the elevator and gradually ascending, and then the elevator door opened, and the hot air with sand and dust outside poured in at once.

"Take off his hood."

Su Jing heard a familiar voice say.

The light came in all of a sudden, and Su Jing shook his head and looked at the person standing in front of him.

Handsome Jack, the real Handsome Jack is standing right in front of him. The mask on his face was smiling, but his eyes were cold and cruel, crawling around Su Jing like a poisonous snake.

Su Jing ...... Do you know the truth? Your friends are trying to rescue you, and they're going to negotiate with me tomorrow night to trade the planet's mining rights for you and the lives of those two little bitches. How? Aren't you happy to hear this? ”

"I'm honored." Su Jing said expressionlessly.

Handsome Jack laughed dryly, and took the lead to climb onto a flying machine that had been on standby for a long time, and then the four overseers escorted Su Jing to the same plane.

Su Jing sat in the cabin and faced handsome Jack. There was a slight shock under his feet, and then he felt that the rising acceleration was pressing him the seat, Su Jing twisted his waist very uncomfortably, and was hit by the assault rifle as soon as he moved.

"Don't be so nervous, you idiots, make our friends feel better." Handsome Jack waved his hand senselessly, and then he untied a pistol from his waist and handed it to Su Jing.

"Can you see what it is?"

Su Jing took the pistol and observed it carefully for a while. The pistol has a very sci-fi shape, the muzzle construction is different from anything he'd seen before, and the magazine doesn't seem to be a traditional style. Su Jing fiddled for a while, raised his head and said:

"E-Tech, a gun made with Eridium Elemental Technique?"

"Very good! That's right! Handsome Jack clapped in a fake way, "It's what we call E-Tech." Ever since Roland and the others took out the Destroyer and opened the seals on the planet - under my guidance, of course - these shiny and valuable things have appeared all over the planet Pandora. Relying on this opportunity, I led Hyperion to seize the opportunity, the first to occupy the technology of the Eridium element, and then by selling patents, I made Hyperion the largest of the five major alliances...... I really admire my great achievements. ”

"When it comes to self-confidence, Mr. Jack, you are indeed beyond mortals." Su Jing replied without yin or yang, and was smashed in the face by the butt of a gun by the handsome jack. Then Jack grabbed Su Jing's neck and said coldly:

"While I'm talking, don't, interject. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

".................." Su Jing nodded.

"Whew...... Including Roland and Lilith, none of them knew that the most precious thing on this planet was not the Eridium element, but something more powerful than it...... The weapon left over from the ancient race - 'Samurai'! This is the biggest secret of this planet, as long as you use the 'key' to unlock the seal, you can control the supreme force that destroyed the ancient civilization - with this power, I am the most powerful person in the world. The Big Five, the coalition government – these things will be a thing of the past, a meaningless word in the history books of the future. And I, Handsome Jack, will be the new supreme ruler! ”

Su Jing looked at this madman who was clouded by power, this demon who did not hesitate to sacrifice his own daughter for the sake of higher power and money, and used her as a tool.

"Do you know the truth? Why am I saying this to you? Jack looked at Su Jing with mocking eyes under his mask.

"I don't know what to do, sir."

"Because...... Soon, your friend will die because of you. Soon, the samurai will awaken and be driven by me. When the time comes, those who come to negotiate will be reduced to ashes by the power of the samurai - I certainly know what Ivan and Roland are thinking, and while they are negotiating, that Russian madman will kill me. But how could I be stupid until tomorrow to wake up the samurai? Just tonight, the samurai's awakening is tonight. ”

The more Jack spoke, the more excited he became, but he didn't find panic, or grief, guilt, or anything like that in Su Jing's eyes. The young man just sat there with a blank face, looking at him as if he were dead.

"Of course, as a 'witch', your elemental manipulation ability still greatly contributes to the company's weapon development, but compared to the samurai, it is not worth mentioning. For the sake of your continued contribution to Hyperion, I will spare your life after summoning the samurai......"

"Mr. Jack, I wonder if you've ever heard such a sentence? In my hometown, there is a saying that says, 'Justice is often late, but it will come.'" ’”

"Huh...... Haha Oh, I haven't laughed like that in years. Jack laughed maniacally, even wiping tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

"It's a funny joke indeed." Su Jing also laughed, "I have always believed that in this universe, there is no truth, no justice, and no evil...... However, I have another understanding of this sentence. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"The so-called good and evil are different from each person's standpoint. But after someone has angered many, there will be someone who will judge him in the name of justice. And at that time, the judge is justice, and he represents the righteousness of this world. At that moment, justice will no longer be a term on paper, a concept in a play, a camp in a story, it will be a blade, a bullet, a ...... Something tangible. ”

Handsome Jack stopped laughing.

Half an hour later, the plane landed.

As soon as the cabin door was opened, a hot breath poured into the cabin, and the sulfurous wind made Su Jing's eyes sting.

"Welcome to Hero Pass."

Handsome Jack said coldly.

Hero Volcano is located in one of the most polluted areas of the planet Pandora, which is also the most developed area of the entire planet in terms of mining, refineries, power stations, ...... Spread all over the Hero Mountains.

Because of the high level of pollution, the incidence of infection is also the highest, and the death rate of workers is alarming. Considering that the entire planet is not yet peaceful, and the number of adventurers is too small, the technology alliance has not yet entered this place, but has put all its strength into quelling the rebellion.

This used to be the industrial town of Hyperion, and the felons and slaves of the Hyperion Company were thrown here, and they were all people who were not sorry to die, and they happened to be used as slave laborers. After the Robotics Syndicate's garrisons defeated Hyperion's private army, the industrial zone was abandoned and became a natural playground for mutant creatures.

The Hero Volcano is located on the highest peak of the Hero Mountains.

Here, Hyperion secretly set up a research base.

Su Jing jumped off the plane with Handsome Jack and looked around. It was more rudimentary than he had imagined, probably not a big project could be done under satellite surveillance, and it was basically a camp built on the mountain. The passages are carved directly out of the mountain, and in the steeper terrain, modular walkways made of steel elements do the all.

Half an hour ago, Su Jing informed the Vault base when he was on the plane that Handsome Jack would launch the summoning ritual in advance tonight. The news did catch Serena's side off guard, and the assault party of the assembled bounty hunters was already on their way. However, depending on the geographical location, even if the fastest aircraft is on board, it will take an hour to reach Hero Mountain.

【Gage...... It's time to launch! The plan is ahead of schedule, and Handsome Jack will finish tonight. 】

[Understood.] 】

Estimating that the time was about the same, Su Jing directly sent a signal to Gai Qi with the remote communication between friends on the character card. At this moment, the base under the desert should have turned the sky upside down.

Don't look at the average age of Gage and Tina, who are only fifteen years old, and the latter is often beaten by Su Jing when grabbing chocolate drinks, but one of these two is an extremely vicious wanted criminal with a bounty of more than 800 billion on his head, and the other is the number one bomb maniac on the planet Pandora, as long as they are given the right tools, they can turn the entire desert upside down.

[Tina has blasted the door open—we're on!] 】

Su Jing took out all the high-energy explosives in the three collars and handed them to Tina, who was most familiar with explosives. As long as you have explosives in hand, blowing up the dormitory door is not a problem at all. Then with those two electric shockers, it is not a problem to snatch the weapon after knocking out a few guards.

Jack, who was leading the way in front, suddenly paused, pressed the headphones in his ears with his fingers, he turned around and glanced at Su Jing coldly, and then continued to lead the way, but Su Jing seemed to be able to hear what he was whispering angrily about:

"I can't even look at the two little girls, what am I raising you waste for? Is food a waste ?! We need to talk about it...... After you catch those two little girls, of course! Listen, if they die, you don't have to live. But if they run away, you, your whole family, I want you to watch your heart be gouged out! ”

Then, Su Jing felt that her heartbeat had missed a beat.

"If you really can't stop it, activate the base's self-destruction system!!"
