CHAPTER XXI
Chapter 21: Hyperion Corporation
Gage sighed softly, picking up a piece of debris from the wreckage of the Death Trap. The explosion from the inside out has turned the loyal robot into a pile of pieces that can no longer be repaired.
"Don't be too sad, Gage." Tina patted Gage on the shoulder, "I have enough materials in my lab for you to make a new Death Trap out." I swear, we'll make it come back to life, and stronger...... In the case of the addition of an explosive weapon of my design. β
"It's okay, Tina, thank you for your concern." Gage picks up the remaining chunks and throws them into the storage compartment of the snowmobile.
"That lump is yours...... Boyfriend? Tina used her thumb to hit Su Jing, who was lying on the back seat, and the unconscious Dragon Set A was carefully placed on the car by Gai Qi.
"Uh............ No. Gage scratched the band-aid on her face with her fingernails, "He's a good fighter." But now that he needs urgent treatment, how far is your lab from here? β
"It's half an hour." Tina rolled over and jumped into the driver's seat, and Gage got into the passenger seat and saw the bazooka that had destroyed the nezumi at the least.
"Tina, this is ...... Mr. Togue gave it to you? Isn't this Torgue's finest rocket launcher...... 'Nuka'...... If you are on the market, you need at least 3,000 points. Marcus, the stingy guy, wouldn't be willing to buy you this. β
"Uh-huhβTorg and I had a lot of fun, and he invited me to join the company as a weapons designer...... I said, "No." He asked, "For what?" I said, "Do you know that I am only 14 years old, and you are violating the labor law?" β
Tina, or Tiny Tina (Tiny_Tina), known as "the most dangerous fourteen years old in the world", has a rather unfortunate childhood story. She and her parents were captured by robbers and sold to Hyperion's research department to be used for experiments on purple slag infection.
Then, her parents gave her the explosives they had secretly hidden, leaving her to escape alone. She was then picked up and adopted by Mr. Marcus, the largest arms retailer on the planet Pandora. Under Marcus's irresponsible upbringing, this mentally stimulated girl grows more and more ...... Crazy.
After she showed an amazing talent for explosives, she helped bounty hunters and adventurers destroy Hyperion's main force on the planet. But her crazy fighting style always makes Gage subconsciously feel a little away from her...... Safer.
Fortunately, the terrain on the tundra was not too rough, and the three of them arrived at Tina's new laboratory in half an hour. The lab, which once appeared to be a processing workshop, is now covered with the remains of bandits and nezumi who don't have long eyes.
"Be careful...... Follow in my footsteps, unless you want to be blown up on a satellite......"
Tina walked in with ease, and Gage carried Su Jing on her back, carefully following her footsteps.
The inside of the workshop is very different, and it is arranged in some kind of weird Gothic style...... This includes hideous rabbits and kitten dolls.
"The healing device is inside, as long as this guy's heart hasn't stopped beating, it can be saved." Tina lifted a tarpaulin, revealing what looked like a transparent coffin underneath, pulled out a wire from the side and plugged it into the generator, then clicked the switch on.
The lid of the healing device slowly rose, and Gage threw Su Jing in, and Tina snapped a few buttons, and the lid closed.
"Good! It should be fine......"
"Uh...... What do you mean by should? β
"I threw a dying four-clawed ape into it last time, and when it came out, it turned into a spider ant."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Just kidding. Don't keep staring at me with that kind of look. Let's have afternoon tea, sweetheart. β
Before drinking tea, Gage deliberately carefully checked the teapot and teacup, and only after confirming that there were indeed no additives of unknown composition in the tea did he dare to drink it with confidence.
"Alright...... Sweetheart, tell me the story of that man. β
Tina sat across from Gage, her feet on stilts on the table, her face defening.
He ...... There's nothing to say......" Gage took a sip of tea and shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh...... Is it? Looks like the way I'm asking is wrong, I'm sorry, dear, let me ask in a different way......" Tina pulled out a remote control and pressed a button. Two steel rings suddenly jumped out of the armrest of the chair Gage was sitting on, locking Gage to the chair.
"Tina...... This joke is not good...... Uhhh......h
As Tina pressed the second button, Gage's whole body trembled violently, and she almost foamed at the mouth and rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry, sweetheart, it's just a small electrical stimulus, not more than thirty volts." Tina climbed onto the table, kicked the tea set open, and looked down at Gage condescendingly, "Now, you can tell the truth." Don't worry, as your best friend, I won't leak half a word to others, especially Lily's big mouth. However, if you continue to be stubborn, I won't be sure what the voltage will be in volts next time...... Of course, you're my best friend, so how could I be willing to kill you......? β
I said...... I say...... He's uh...... It's a new adventurer I know......"
"Uh-huh. Go on. β
Tina was pleased with Gage's submissive attitude, slid off the table, sat comfortably on Gage's lap, and continued to listen to her slowly.
"Then, he saved my life...... I don't think it's okay to be beaten by the queen, but what about it...... I'm still in ...... mood."
"Huh?"
"Come over here." Gage looked left and right, "I always feel embarrassed to say it so loudly......"
Tina's ears leaned over in gusto, and Gage's mechanical left hand snapped the steel ring, then grabbed Tina's thin neck.
"You little devil! I can't spare you!! β
"Ahem, ahem...... Put...... Put me down......"
"Loosen me from this damn shock mechanism first!!"
"Ahem, ahem...... I'll put ...... I'll put ......"
Tina struggled to press the button on the remote control, and the ring released. Liberated, Gage threw Tina to the ground, and the two girls rolled on the ground.
While the two were laughing and arguing, the explosion of a mine was heard outside the door.
"There are enemies!"
The two of them jumped up from the ground with agility, each pulling out his weapon.
The enemy was obviously not an ordinary bandit, and the explosion was getting closer and closer, and the speed did not slow down in the slightest. Gage's and Tina's faces were not very good-looking, and when the figure of the visitor was revealed, their mood sank to the bottom.
[Hyperion advises you to lay down your arms and surrender, otherwise the company will not guarantee your personal safety]
More than a dozen Hyperion combat robots appeared in front of the two of them, and more combatants poured in behind them, surrounding the workshop. The two of them held their guns back-to-back, but this time the situation was even more difficult than that time in the refinery, with three hundred rat heads and more than a hundred elites of the Hyperion Company, the strength was not at the same level at all.
At the end, a humanoid robot wearing a mask walked up, and the people painted on the mask were very familiar to Gage and Tina, or everyone on the planet Pandora, because this face had appeared on every poster on the planet Pandora.
A long, cunning and wicked countenance, this is the mask of the infamous "Handsome Jack".
[Aha, good evening, two young ladies. I'm sure you didn't think you'd ever see me again. A surprise! I know you must have a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask right now...... But I'll wait until I get to my base...... I have only one question now: where is that witch? γ
ββ¦β¦ Witch? Tina was completely confused, and Gage's face darkened.
[Oh, Miss Gage, through the camera, I can see that you seem to know something.] For the sake of your talent, I can make an exception to tell you how I learned about it...... Do you remember satellite 4N631? You robbers snatched my daughter "Angel" from me, and robbed my satellites...... You don't think that's what you think...... I didn't leave a backdoor in the satellite, did I? Everything that Ivan Vanke could seeβI could see it too. In order to find the strength of the seven witches in the universe, I deliberately set up an elemental wave detector on the satellite - even Ivan Vanke didn't have the permission to get this thing! And today, I see a new elemental user fluctuating around you...... It's not Lilith, it's not Maya, it's a new witch! I want that witch! Right now! It's now!! γ
With dozens of guns pointed at their heads, Gage and Tina reluctantly lowered their weapons and were shackled.
"Found it!"
The fighters quickly searched the entire workshop, and in addition to tons of high-energy explosives, the treatment cabin where Su Jing was lying was also carried out.
"Sir, the people inside seem to be seriously injured, we need the best treatment facility for Lang!"
γβ¦β¦ Then take her back to base! You idiot!! Brought back the two women, they were very valuable captives...... I'm going to have a good talk with Ivan......]
"Yes sir!"
ββββββββββββββ
When Su Jing woke up again, he found himself lying in a pure white cabin, some kind of light shining on his body and healing his body. The physical functions destroyed by the torrent of energy were being restored bit by bit, and he could even feel the broken fibers being reconnected one by one, and the dead cells were rejuvenated.
Where is it......
The lid of the cabin opened smoothly, and Su Jing squinted his eyes and saw a person standing beside him. Before he could see who it was, a gun was put against his head.
"If you move it again, the bullets from this gun will shoot into your head, and you won't be able to use any magic...... Now, I want you to answer two questions to me, and if you can't answer either one, I'll shoot you with one shot, do you understand? β
Hearing this slippery voice, Su Jing nodded slowly.
"The first question: for what you are a man. Second question: what about your tattoos? Where's your magic pattern? β
