Chapter 443: The Mouse Plays with the Cats

The queen was furious when she heard this. How could a hamster act so recklessly in Zuck Town? Does it have any regard for her, the queen?

The gatekeeper was trembling below, not daring to breathe. In the end, he was dismissed and had no chance to make up for his mistakes.

Then the queen personally ordered a bounty mission: whoever can catch a hamster driving a spherical mecha can serve as a gatekeeper and receive an additional reward of 10,000 gold coins.

In the next few days, with the hard work of the queen's lackeys, the bounty notices were almost all over the town, and everyone in the city knew about it.

Any Zuck who thought he had two brushes would remember this mission in his heart and take action immediately. The gatekeeper position is a stable job!

Compared with this, the 10,000 gold coins seemed less important, but 10,000 gold coins were indeed not a small amount. As long as a person did not spend lavishly, it was enough for him to live a comfortable life in the town.

It's just that the description of the goal is a bit strange, a hamster driving a spherical mecha, when can hamsters drive mecha? Maybe it's a prank by the queen, but it seems impossible. The queen never likes to joke, and the bounty mission is so loud that the queen can't do anything to deceive the whole city.

After the mission was issued, all the scumbags in the city had the motivation to fight, except for those who were willing to degenerate or felt that there was no possibility.

Poor Hammond had just escaped the pursuit of the guard team and had to face the pursuit of the scumbags in the city.

Fortunately, Hammond, who escaped the pursuit of the guards, got some food. Although it was unpalatable, it was enough to fill his stomach. With strength, Master Mouse will play with you to the end.

In the "Horizon" lunar base, Hammond was undoubtedly lonely. At a glance, apart from human science and technology, there were only gorillas. There was no one of his kind, and no one played with him.

It's different now. All the humans in the city are playing cat and mouse with him. The process is exciting but fun. But it seems that the name of this game is not "Cat and Mouse", but "Mice Playing with Cats". These humans are dumber than he thought, and technology is equivalent to nothing.

No, there are still some. Some people are mecha pilots. They drive various mechas with strange shapes and different functions to deal with him. It's okay to deal with one or two, but it's really a bit tricky to deal with four or five at a time.

But it doesn't matter. Hammond can use the terrain advantage to escape. The design of the grappling hook makes his movement trajectory full of infinite possibilities.

And he also gave this newly added practical tool a name: engineering grappling hook.

Thanks to the engineering grappling hook, he can escape from the besieged danger again and again.

The metal sphere is difficult to control in the air. Hammond accidentally destroyed many buildings and facilities, making this already dilapidated town even more embarrassed. The scumbags were so angry that they gnashed their teeth, but they couldn't do anything to him.

When he temporarily escaped to a safe place to rest, Hammond heard those guys compare him with Junkrat Roadhog more than once, saying that he was the teacher of this pair in terms of destruction.

Destroy... Hammond didn't want to, but who asked you to chase him? In order to protect himself, Hammond had to flee as much as possible. It was inevitable that he would crash into some buildings on the way. There was nothing he could do about it.

Unless everyone got along well.

Every day, the queen expected someone to come to her to collect the bounty, but no one did. Instead, she heard from her subordinates that the town was shaken by the hamster because the scumbags in the city arrested the hamster.

Wherever the hamster passed, there were rocks and scrap metal.

Therefore, the scumbags gave Hammond a nickname, because he often showed himself in the form of a spherical mecha and loved to destroy. More than 80% of the scumbags didn't know his real name, so when they communicated, they called Hammond the Destruction Ball.

It was vivid and appropriate.

The queen was troubled by it. She didn't expect the result to be like this. The little hamster contained extremely huge energy in his body, and the people in the city couldn't do anything about him. If this continued, she had no doubt that the Destruction Ball would turn the scumbag town into a mess.

But the queen didn't want to lose face, so she decided to wait for three more days. If no one could catch the Wrecking Ball after three days, she would think of another way.

Well, three days passed in a flash, and there was still no news about the Wrecking Ball.

If the hard way didn't work, she would try the soft way. After careful consideration, the queen decided to have a face-to-face talk with the Wrecking Ball. It would be a blessing if everyone could live in peace.

In recent years, there has been almost no influx of talents in Junkertown. Those with some real skills have gone out to make a living. Of course, Junkrat and Roadhog are not included. They were kicked out by her because of their bad performance. Except for their real skills in wrecking, they are really not good in other aspects.

The queen knows that in order to develop Junkertown, the field of science and technology must be strengthened and developed, so last year, she invested money to open the first mechanical gladiatorial competition in the scrapyard.

Because of the generous prize money, many Junkers have carefully studied technology and fully tapped their potential. The last champion has made real contributions to the technology field of Junkertown, at least improving the technology level of Junkertown by more than ten years, so the town will develop better and better.

Wrecking Ball is a mecha pilot, and all the Junkers in the city can't do anything to him, which shows that he is indeed a talent among hamsters.

With this thought, the queen immediately ordered the bounty to be revoked, and sent people to negotiate with Wrecking Ball, with as humble an attitude as possible.

At first, when Hammond saw humans coming to him, he was very alert and ready to start the mech to escape at any time. Later, he found that the other party was not here to catch him and did not bring any weapons, so he relaxed a little.

For various reasons, he was willing to communicate with the other party. The most important point was that the energy of the mech was almost exhausted. If he continued, it would be sooner or later that he would be caught. Without the mech, it would be like a tiger without teeth. A few people could catch him.

Hearing that the town boss wanted to talk to him, Hammond was very entangled in his heart. He was worried that the queen would go back on her word and set a trap for him to come over. It was very likely.

But he seemed to have no choice. If he continued to escape, he would still be caught. Leaving Junker Town was a dead end.

After thinking about it, Hammond decided to meet the queen. The worst result was to be caught, and he could shrink into the mech. With their technology, they couldn't open the mech for a while.

If he thinks about the ending in a positive way, maybe he can live here and no longer have to play the game of "the mouse playing with the cats". It was fun at first, but it became boring after the novelty wore off.

After reaching an agreement with the wrecking ball, the queen's lackeys were relieved. Fortunately, they didn't fight, otherwise they might have been beaten to a pulp.

"Come with us, we'll take you to see our wise and powerful queen."
