Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 231 That Poor Child!!





Even before the desperate officers of the RGB came to the governor's castle with extremely panicked looks on their faces to see Scarlet, she was already awake, dressed and on her way out of the bedroom. Severus and the white cat which loved attention persisted successfully in waking her up. 

When she reluctantly opened her eyes, Severus had told her that their was a fresh soul right here on her planet to reap. 

At first, she thought it was another victim of winter or death by natural causes but then Severus said this one had just been shot to death and nobody had realized it yet. 

Of course, that would get her attention, a shooting on the blue star, what had she missed? She turned on the television while she got changed. 

"The situation here is quite tumultuous as the captain of the RGB attempts to negotiate with the space pirate who has barricaded himself inside one of the ground floor wards. Word reaching us is that the space pirate is piloting a mecha which is set to explode should the mecha warriors or RGB attempt to make a forceful entry. We have also managed to get word that one of the hostages has been shot and injured by the space pirate to prove a point and assert his demands which have not been shared with us so far. It is unknown if there will be a peaceful resolution to this tragedy because space pirates have never been known to surrender without leaving great carnage behind. Stay with me as I bring you more updates on the situation on ground, reporting for BSTV Jelly Simmons."

"How the hell did space pirates get here?" she asked the two animals. 

"It's something you will have to hear from your people, I do not know how to describe it." Severus answered. 

"A tube." the white cat answered as well, "A black tube like a long black snake." 

Severus could not help glancing at the white cat and recalling that the tube was more like moving small boxes, it was true that it was black but not like a snake. Again, the white cat was sharing the wrong information. 

Scarlet hurried to leave her bedroom, she had no plan at the moment, she was simply angry that an innocent civilian had been killed. As for now, whether it was friendly fire from their side or a pirate that did it, she was not aware. 

She run through the castle, and made it half way to the gates before Tion saw her and jumped down, standing in her way. 

"Where do you think you are going governor?" he asked. 

"To the scene of the crime," she answered. 

He frowned and shook his head, he opened his mouth, ready to tell her that it would not be happening on his watch and she should head back inside. If she got so much as a scratch on her body, the general would kill them. And why was she travelling with a dog an a cat? Were they secretly skilled in combat too?

"Governor, governor," two officers flew down in their mechas, calling her so loudly on their helmets that everyone outside the castle could hear. 

"You should come with us, the space pirate will only negotiate with you." one of them said. He opened the side of the mecha for her to enter and be transported.

The frown on Tion's frown deepened and he said in a loud authoritative voice, "She goes no...." 

"Let's go." Scarlet cut him off she entered the mecha before Tion could stop her. The cat and the dog leaped in after her, narrowly missing having their bodies sliced as the mecha doors closed. The mecha flew off at maximum speed and as always, Scarlet felt the urge to vomit. She took a white pill from he rocket and swallowed it. 

"Follow them." Tion told his men, and they too flew after the mecha and Tion updated Esong on the situation. 

Esong was monitoring the situation from where he was in the capital, everything was quiet here in the central, no mutated beasts at the moment. There were some in the Eastern districts but that was not his territory, general Patterson was handling it. He would only be forced to intervene if the beasts made it close to the center of the city. 

When Tion called and told him what was going on, Esong had longed to fly back to the blue star immediately and protect his family and he almost, did. He had been found on his way to his space ship and it had taken the combined strength of all his friends and a call from the emperor commanding him to stand down for him to stay in place. 

Now, he was like everyone else in the empire, watching the situation in bits and bits with whatever the television fed them and the mecha warriors or Tion told him. 

He was watching the reporter explain how the families of the hostages had caught wind of the fact that their loved one were trapped in the hospital with a maniacal space pirate and rushed to the crime scene in tears pleading for their lives to be saved. BSTV did not shy away from showing these families which were being held back by RGB officers from going any closer to captain Zorl or the hospital. One of the family members was a man, a husband to one of the nurses who was carrying their six year old daughter that was crying loudly and pitifully. 

The cameras vividly showed the little girl's green jade colored eyes which had tears flowing down uncontrollably as she called for her mother over and over again. The scene tugged at the heart strings of almost all the viewers. 

"Those darn space pirates!!" the empress was among the people pained at the sight of the little girl. "They should all be executed in the new year." 

"We should launch an active manhunt for space pirates in the new year father," Markay suggested. "We should make every star planet of the empire feel too hot for them to hide on."

"That poor child!" the third princess said, and she wiped tears away from her face. "What are they going to do? This is not going to end well, we all know it will not end well." she lamented. 

The reactions of the people on star net were no different from those of the royals, the citizens were calling for an open and immediate execution of all space pirates. 

"Kill them all." 

"Off with their heads." 

"Fucking space pirates, they killed my grandmother last year, very heartless monsters." 

"Space pirates are no different from mutated beasts, they should be hunted and killed like said beasts."

"Why do we have guilds that hunt for mutated beasts but no guilds to hunt for space pirates? Hunting them should be made legal, put a fee on the head of each pirate and we the common people will take care of it ourselves." 

"I know everyone is angry but not all space pirates become that willingly. My cousin was kidnapped as a teenager by them and forced to become one of them, he was arrested and executed last year. That was unfair to our family, he was a victim too."

In the midst of all this, the new reporter suddenly said the governor had come to the crime scene.
