[Alert! Alert, the spacecraft is entering a level 1 emergency state, passengers please do not leave the cabin!]
This urgent reminder made Wang Chen's eyes narrow and he felt something bad.
The emergency status of ordinary civilian spacecraft is divided into five levels. Level one is the highest danger level, which usually means that the ship is facing destruction or is attacked by interstellar pirates.
The possibility of the former is extremely low, because the safety factor of a space cruise ship like the Far Star is very high, because accidents that cause the ship to crash and kill people due to its own failure are very rare, comparable to winning a lottery jackpot.
And interstellar pirates are a cancer that has plagued the empire for hundreds of years!
Interstellar pirates have existed for a long time, and they have been divided into numerous gangs, large and small. They are like blood-sucking gadflies, stinging the empire's huge body from time to time.
Every year, many merchant ships, cargo ships and cruise ships are attacked and plundered by pirates, causing considerable losses.
The high-ranking officials of the empire were also very angry with the interstellar pirates, but it was very difficult to eradicate the interstellar pirates. Even if they tried their best to kill a few, new gangs would soon appear.
For hundreds of years, the empire has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but it has never solved this cancer.
It is said that many interstellar pirates are supported by the Star Alliance, which is hostile to the Holy Light Empire, and are even organized by the alliance forces themselves.
In addition, many imperial nobles and wealthy plutocrats have inextricably linked relationships with certain pirate organizations.
Very complicated.
Wang Chen did not expect that this ordinary trip would encounter the threat of interstellar pirates.
It really feels like winning a lottery.
Such bad luck!
When he took off the access device, a new prompt popped up on the display on the wall of the cabin.
【The state of emergency has been cancelled.】
never mind?
Wang Chen was slightly startled.
However, his keen intuition told him that the matter was not that simple, let alone a false alarm from the spacecraft system.
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen quickly took out the long sword from his backpack.
This standard long sword is the only weapon he owns. Although it is the cheapest mass-produced product, it can also give him a little more self-protection.
And when Wang Chen tried to open the hatch and go out to investigate, his heart suddenly sank.
The hatch is locked!
Wang Chen tried several times, but not only did the portal not respond at all, but even the touch screen on the wall seemed to be frozen, with no feedback no matter how he operated it.
This situation means that the mastermind of the Far Star space cruise ship has been taken over by outsiders and then rejected all command requests submitted by passengers.
The cabin where Wang Chen lived turned into a prison!
He has become a caged bird.
But in such a bad situation, Wang Chen did not lose his cool.
He tried to reconnect to the Xinghai network. As a result, both the standard access device in the cabin and the personal terminal that came with it were all in a data shielding state, unable to communicate with the outside world at all.
This road was unavailable, so Wang Chen checked the items in the cabin again.
Unfortunately it's of no use.
At least it didn't help the situation he was facing.
Just as Wang Chen was rummaging through the boxes, the hatch suddenly opened automatically, and a black figure appeared at the door.
Wang Chen suddenly turned around and came face to face with the other party.
This uninvited guest's entire body, including his head, was tightly wrapped in a set of black armor. He was holding a high-powered assault rifle, and blue firelight danced in his goggles, revealing a trace of teasing and ridicule.
"Look what I caught, a garrison chicken. It tastes really good!"
The visitor pointed the black muzzle at Wang Chen, and a hoarse voice came from inside the helmet: "Kneel down and call daddy. I can consider giving you a chance to lick Kiba!"
Wang Chen noticed that a flaming skull was branded on the opponent's chest armor.
This is the most commonly used logo pattern for interstellar pirates!
He couldn't help but laugh.
The moment he smiled, Wang Chen suddenly stepped forward, and the sword he held tightly in his hand drew a dazzling arc of light, slashing at the pirate warrior with extremely bad breath at lightning speed.
Although the pirate warriors did not take Wang Chen seriously, they had rich combat experience and reacted quickly, immediately pulling the trigger.
As for Wang Chen's attack, the pirate warrior didn't care at all.
Because the suit of armor he was wearing could withstand strikes from small high-energy weapons at close range. Even if he stood and let Wang Chen slash with his sword, he would not be able to break through the defense for three days and three nights.
And he can blow Wang Chen into pieces with one shot!
However, just when the energy of the high-powered assault rifle was about to be triggered, his head suddenly flew into the sky.
Wang Chen's sword hit the pirate warrior's neck, slicing through his neck armor like hot oil cutting tofu, and cut off the latter's head.
Under normal circumstances, the long sword in his hand cannot cut through even civilian-grade protective armor, let alone military armor.
It's just that Wang Chen used the power of the second level of Tianlong Vajra Zhengfa to add the power of the second ring of spiritual energy to the sword, and he was able to create such an incredible miracle!
Snapped!
When the pirate's body slumped to the ground, the long sword in Wang Chen's hand broke into countless pieces and fell.
This weapon withstood a force that far exceeded its own limit, and it was considered a success.
But Wang Chen's crisis was not over. He grabbed the high-powered assault rifle that fell on the ground as quickly as possible.
All the people in the empire are martial arts and are in a state of war all year round. Therefore, they attach great importance to the national defense education. Students over the age of fourteen must receive regular basic military training.
Although the original person is a student, he has also touched an assault rifle and knows the basic how to use it.
However, when Wang Chen picked up the weapon, he found that he could not unlock it at all - the biological information did not match.
In other words, this high-powered assault rifle has its own biological detection function, and only those who have bound biological information can use it.
If it falls into Wang Chen’s hands, it’s just a piece of scrap metal!
Gan!
Wang Chen cursed secretly, dropped the assault rifle in his hand, and then pulled out the sword carried by the pirate.
In fact, he really wanted to peel off the armor worn by the opponent and put it on himself. Even without a helmet, he could greatly improve his defense capabilities.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
At this moment, Wang Chen heard the voice coming from outside: "Justin, are you okay?"
There was more than one pirate appearing in the first-class area. They obviously had the passengers' information, so the guy who was just killed by Wang Chen could tell his identity.
Things are in trouble!
Wang Chen leaned down, and the moment the second pirate's figure appeared at the door, he jumped forward like a strong cheetah and slashed at the opponent's legs with his sword.
