"Come on, you start first." The thug grabbed the girl who had been trembling violently and pushed her to the middle, pointing a gun at her. "Who is your beastly husband? Call him out now, or I'll shoot you."
The girl was terrified, her voice trembling and choked with sobs: "You, you all come out quickly."
But no orcs appeared after she finished speaking.
"Hahaha, looks like you've abused your beastly husband quite a bit before, huh? They all want you dead." The thug patted the girl's cheek and laughed maliciously.
The girl's eyes also revealed hatred: "If you don't come out, I'll order the surveillance ring to strangle you all!"
Only then did one of the orcs slowly stand up, followed by the others.
"Hahaha, come on, abuse her the same way she abused you before." As one of the thugs said this, another thug took out a package filled with a series of torture instruments and threw it directly in front of the orcs.
The girl stared intently at her beast husbands.
The men frowned slightly.
"The Mistress didn't mistreat me... Ah!" Before the orc could finish speaking, a knife was plunged into his arm, and another gun was pressed against his waist. "What did you say? Say it again?"
Jiang Zheyu's heart skipped a beat. He was doomed; this guy was after the females.
What utter nonsense about gender swapping! These thugs just want the orcs to whip the females!
The orc could only pick up the torture instruments with fear and trembling.
A low sneer suddenly rang out.
The gun was immediately pointed at the source of the laughter.
"Want to try something even more fun?" Feng Qi stood up calmly, showing no fear even with the gun pointed at him, and casually glanced at the thug. "Like, playing with me?"
The thug gave a sinister laugh: "Alright, so you like playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress, huh? Well then, I'll let you have your fun!"
"Come out!" the thug shouted menacingly.
Feng Qi walked out from among the beastmen.
There were four thugs: two in the middle and two guarding the door.
The criminals are all on the same side, so this position is just right, perfect for taking risks.
He walked slowly forward, but in the next second he suddenly grabbed one of the thugs' guns and pulled him upwards. His long legs swept sharply towards the other thug, and he pressed one of the thugs down with his body, using the momentum of his charge to push him to the same side.
The two orcs at the door instantly opened fire with their guns.
Jiang Zheyu was startled. A thought flashed through her mind: was Feng Qi being too reckless?
If we can't subdue them all at once, these bullets might injure innocent people!
Moreover, she didn't have time to run after hearing the gunshots, so she instantly attacked the two orcs with her mental energy, but found that the bullets still swept across her.
She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping no bullets would hit her, but she felt her chances of surviving the hail of bullets were slim. Had her mental attack been wasted? My life was over.
Gunshots rang out continuously, but instead of screams, they were followed by a series of crisp, shattering sounds.
She didn't feel any pain. She looked up in surprise and saw a black, luminous mech standing in front of her, completely blocking all the bullets that were being fired at her.
This also separated the thugs from the orcs on this side, and of course, it also separated Feng Qi from the four thugs on the same side.
Feng Qi nimbly used two orcs as shields, grabbed a gun, and quickly pushed one of the orcs towards the two orcs at the door. He rolled over quickly, leaving a trail of bullet marks on the ground. In that very short time, he only fired two shots.
The sound of gunfire had stopped.
The surroundings became quiet.
Jiang Zheyu's heart was pounding. She really thought she was going to die. Her hands and feet were cold and she felt weak.
At that moment, all sound ceased.
Did Feng Qi win? Or did the thugs win?
Jiang Zheyu's heart sank.
"Captain Qi?" Jiang Zheyu found her voice trembling. She had misunderstood. Feng Qi was not reckless at all. He had only fought with the four thugs after ensuring their safety.
"Feng, Feng Qi!" Jiang Zheyu's legs went weak as he walked toward the black mecha, but he couldn't see what was happening on the other side at all.
Could Feng Qi be dead?
He was willing to risk everything to protect others, putting himself in great danger.
It was indeed his responsibility to protect the citizens of the empire, but the thought of him putting himself in danger while protecting others still weighed heavily on Jiang Zheyu's mind, making it hard for her to breathe.
The next instant, the jet-black mecha vanished. Feng Qi's clothes were stained with coffee and dust, his black suit showing uneven shades and covered in dirt. His hair was also messy, but he tilted his head slightly and smiled at her, the slender black raindrop earrings on his ears swaying slightly with his movements: "What? Don't you believe I can win?"
“You…” Jiang Zheyu found it hard to speak, feeling a lump in her throat. She had just thought Feng Qi was dead, and a wave of sadness washed over her, her eyes reddening. “Is this your fighting style? It’s enough to scare everyone else to death.”
Feng Qi looked at the girl's red eyes, and the casual smile on his face disappeared. He bent down slightly and looked at her with a calm gaze that concealed his love: "Jiang Yuyu, your eyes are so red, and you're so worried about me. I would think that you actually like me too."
She was so worried about him that he really wanted to kiss her, comfort her, and coax her.
Jiang Zheyu paused for a moment, then quietly explained, "Actually, I thought I was going to die just now, so I felt like crying. My fear that you would die was just a side effect of that emotion."
Feng Qi simply chuckled softly, genuinely pleased: "Yes, Jiang Yuyu is right!"
Orcs from the Imperial army outside began to break in.
The four beastmen on the ground—no, they should be called androids.
Two androids had their chips destroyed by Feng Qi's fist piercing their chests, while the other two androids had their chips destroyed by bullets.
Inside the starship of a space pirate.
A holographic simulation room.
A red-haired man covered in motion sensors suddenly opened his eyes, his eyeballs still wide open. After recovering, he remembered what had just happened and roared in fury, "Who was that guy? Who was he? I'll tear him to pieces!"
The other three orcs, who also had motion sensors attached, came to their senses and, upon hearing the furious voice, knelt down in fear.
The door opened, and a bespectacled man leaned against the doorway: "You're really weak. They only needed two punches and two shots to take down all four of you."
The red-haired man glared menacingly at the bespectacled man at the door.
"Oh, don't be too sad. After all, that's Feng Qi."
