The Three Blades pirate group's spaceship fled at top speed, and at the same time, their ship became extremely bumpy.
Lu Wanqing and young Zhong Liyi were inside the mechs, and were forced to experience this turbulence along with the mechs. It made them feel… like throwing up!
The people of the Three Blades pirate group seemed accustomed to this kind of situation. They grouped together in threes and fives, quickly finding corners on the ship, holding onto pillars, doors, and so on. In short, their motto was: Hold on, don't get thrown off!!!
Lu Wanqing's jaw nearly dropped as she watched these people. Were these pirates? Was this how pirates usually behaved?
Pirates didn't usually act like this. This was just the Three Blades pirate group's behavior when their spaceship's speed reached its maximum and they were desperately escaping. Who told them they were poor? Their ship didn't even have basic safety seats installed!
Of course, it wasn't that they completely couldn't afford to install safety seats, but the profession of a space pirate was different from that of ordinary people. They got into fights almost every other day… no, they fought with others.
Not to mention robbing others, they also fought fiercely with other pirate groups!
In any case, their spaceships were often battered and broken. They had installed safety seats before, but later they couldn't be bothered to do it anymore. Even if they installed them, they would be destroyed within a few days. It was a waste of money!
After an unknown duration of jolting, the spaceship's speed finally stabilized considerably. Inside the mech cockpit, Lu Wanqing quickly took out a bag from her spatial ring and turned towards the bag, vomited with a "wow."
Her face was pale and green. She was truly impressed by these pirates!
However, these people seemed a bit slow-witted. Because she and Xiao Yi were just a woman and a child, they didn't guard them closely, not even tying them up. Could she find an opportunity to sneak out?
Lu Wanqing thought about it, her peripheral vision scanning the people on the ship. Everyone was leaning precariously, trying to maintain their balance, and seemed not to have noticed them?
But to escape, she would need to find a space capsule or a small aircraft. Did this pirate ship have such things?
Lu Wanqing felt that it should. Pirates roamed the space constantly, so these should be basic survival tools, right?
The only trouble was that space capsules just floated in space and couldn't travel. If they went out, they would likely be caught by these pirates.
She had seen small aircraft when she was researching before. The high technology of the interstellar era was very intelligent; with a command, it could fly automatically. The only concern was whether the aircraft would have passwords, and if outsiders couldn't operate it except for the owner?
But people should still have dreams, right? What if it worked out!
Lu Wanqing thought and then stealthily began to observe the pirate ship. She led Xiao Yi, pretending to be unsteady from the ship's motion, and staggered towards the ship's cabin door.
Things were usually hidden in warehouses, right?
Even spaceships should have warehouses, right?
Lu Wanqing wasn't sure, but she felt she could look for them.
At first, young Zhong Liyi hadn't noticed anything, but as they got closer to the inner cabin door, he seemed to have noticed something. Mommy wanted to go inside?
Lu Wanqing thought she was being silent, but as she approached the inner cabin door, she suddenly felt a gaze like a thorn in her back. Her heart instantly leaped into her throat. Following the gaze, she saw Huang Snake.
Huang Snake had been staring at them, or rather, at the two mechs. These were Super S-class mechs, something they had only dreamed of touching before!
Just then, the spaceship shook violently again, and everyone lost their balance, falling heavily. Coincidentally, Lu Wanqing and young Zhong Liyi tumbled inside.
Outside, Huang Snake's face changed. He immediately got up and quickly ran towards them!
Huang Snake moved, and others followed suit!
Super S-class mechs, these were legendary Super S-class mechs! Before Lu Wanqing appeared, not even the Federation's Marshal had one; only the Emperor of the neighboring empire had one. How could they not take them seriously!
Inside the cabin, Lu Wanqing and young Zhong Liyi tumbled in. As soon as they regained their footing, they looked up and found the doorway blocked by a crowd. All the pirates had gathered, staring at them intently.
Lu Wanqing: "..." It seemed escape was impossible like this, right?
"Boss, let's tie them up! Don't let them run!" Huang Snake finally spoke!
"That's right, these are Super S-class mechs, ahhhhh, my dream mechs!!!"
Another pirate subordinate couldn't help but speak up, his eyes shining, gazing enviously at Lu Wanqing and young Zhong Liyi, or rather, at the mechs they were wearing.
The pirate seemed too covetous and couldn't help but reach out, cautiously trying to touch the legendary Super S-class mechs!
Lu Wanqing was inside the mechs. When that person reached out a greedy hand, it felt as if they were trying to touch her. Goosebumps broke out all over her body, and she instinctively pulled Xiao Yi away.
It wasn't just that pirate; once one person made a move, other pirates couldn't help but give in to their desires and reached out towards the mechs!
Retreat!
Retreat!
Retreat!
Lu Wanqing quickly pulled young Zhong Liyi back. She held out her hands, blocking the front, and stared warily at these pirates. "Don't touch anything. I can build mechs. I… I have a few more mechs here. If you want them, I can give you some, but you… you have to let us go!"
Lu Wanqing now understood what had happened on the ship earlier. The seven major legions, the father of the pirate cubs, and the Wei family had all sent people to rescue her. These pirates now didn't dare to do anything to her and Xiao Yi. However, pirates were pirates after all, and no one could predict if they would turn hostile at any moment. Lu Wanqing felt that staying with them was not an option; it was safer to escape as soon as possible.
Perhaps it would be better to wait for rescue in space!
"There are more mechs?" The pirates surrounding them lit up, looking at Lu Wanqing excitedly.
"Are they Super S-class mechs?" The bald, scarred leader's mouth hung open, almost drooling.
Of course not. Super S-class mechs weren't like cabbage. She had worked hard for so long, and only made a few. How could they be everywhere?
"Mmm," Lu Wanqing nodded.
Although the mechs weren't Super S-class, Lu Wanqing felt she might be able to trick these pirates?
The equipment for testing mech grades was very expensive, and they probably didn't have it here.
"Then that's fine. And these two mechs on you must be left behind too!" Huang Snake immediately nodded, saying excitedly.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
"That won't do," Lu Wanqing refused.
The mechs on them were their shield. As long as these pirates were unwilling to destroy these two Super S-class mechs, they wouldn't do anything to them. Moreover…
Super S-class mechs were Super S-class mechs after all. Even if these pirates suddenly turned hostile, they might still have a chance to fight them and escape while inside the mechs. But it would be different if they took off their mechs, handing over all their life-saving equipment to others would be too foolish!
