Wang Chen got out of the ventilation duct and jumped steadily to the floor.
This is a kitchen, which is very large and surrounded by all kinds of automated cooking equipment.
Each floor of the cruise ship is equipped with a large central kitchen to provide passengers with a variety of meals. Those who want to save money can order free fast food in the cabin.
Of course, the taste cannot be compared with paid natural and organic food.
Due to the high degree of automation, not many staff were needed. Wang Chen didn't see anyone when he jumped down.
But he saw surveillance cameras placed in hidden locations.
It is really not easy for ordinary people to discover the existence of these monitors. Wang Chen benefited from the keen intuition brought by his powerful soul, so he destroyed them all in the shortest time.
After solving the surveillance in the kitchen, Wang Chen left here and ran outside.
But he came back quickly and opened the cold storage door.
The area of the cold storage is also very large. There are mountains of prepared meals inside, and the temperature is 60 or 70 degrees below zero.
If a normal person does not wear special warm clothes, he will freeze to death in less than half an hour in this space.
Neither did Wang Chen.
But he closed the cold storage door inside and got into a pile of food boxes.
Huddled in the darkness, with his back pressed against the cold metal wall, Wang Chen closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, forcing his body to enter a hibernation state.
Gradually, his breathing became extremely fine and long, his heartbeat rate dropped to the point where it took several minutes to beat, and his body surface temperature converged with the surroundings.
At this time, Wang Chen had turned into a big ice cube.
boom!
Not long after, the door of the cold storage was opened from the outside, and a pirate wearing armor broke in menacingly.
He glanced around, his helmet visor flashing with a faint red light, searching for signs of life.
But the pirate didn't notice anything, so he retreated cursing.
and closed the door again.
Wang Chen, who was hiding in a pile of boxes in the corner of the cold storage, had no reaction or consciousness.
Not knowing how much time had passed, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A flash of light flashed in the darkness.
Wang Chen's breathing and heartbeat quickly returned to normal, the ice condensed on the surface of his body melted, and the temperature of his skin instantly reached the standard of a normal person.
The surrounding cold air was separated by an invisible force.
The next moment, Wang Chen opened his personal terminal.
The holographic screen flashed, showing a normal signal connection - communication was restored.
Wang Chen felt relieved immediately.
The restoration of communication means that the crisis has been resolved. Otherwise, he will have to continue hiding here. It is completely unknown how long he can last, and he will not be able to control his own destiny.
Out of caution, Wang Chen used his personal terminal to enter the cruise ship's public network and quickly found the relevant information.
Seven hours ago, a task force of the Third Fleet of the Imperial Golden Lion Garrison broke into the Far Star cruise ship, started a fierce battle with the pirates who occupied the ship, and finally annihilated the enemy and regained control of the cruise ship.
Not only that, the Third Fleet also sank five pirate warships and achieved a beautiful victory.
At present, all systems and order within the cruise ship have been restored, and the losses are being counted and damaged equipment is being repaired.
At the same time, the owner of the Far Star expressed its most sincere apology to all passengers and stated that it would compensate the passengers for all losses, including mental losses!
After browsing the information on the public network, Wang Chen left the cold storage with peace of mind and found his way back to his cabin.
The first-class area was very lively. Many staff, with the help of maintenance robots, were replacing damaged walls and even the floors.
As for the pirates' bodies, they have all been cleaned up, and not even a drop of blood can be seen on the ground.
Soon all traces of the battle will be gone.
Wang Chen returned to his cabin, sat on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although the whole process was almost without incident, he still deeply felt that his current strength was still too weak and he needed to become stronger to truly protect himself.
The technology of the interstellar era poses too many threats to him!
Previously, Wang Chen relied entirely on his rich combat experience, strong will to fight and a little bit of luck to escape from danger. In the end, he had to huddle up to survive.
In the final analysis, he is still not strong enough!
Ding dong~
Just when Wang Chen was deeply reflecting on himself, suddenly the screen on the hatch automatically lit up, showing the scene outside the door.
A visitor triggered the doorbell.
Wang Chen saw a strange man and woman appear on the screen. Both of them were wearing uniforms, and the badges on their chests were very conspicuous.
He couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, and immediately stood up and opened the door.
The woman standing at the door smiled and asked: "Hello, is this Mr. Wang Chen?"
"Yes."
Wang Chen nodded: "Who are you?"
The woman pointed to her plump chest and said: "We are special investigators from the Golden Lion Star Group Branch of the Imperial Security Bureau. We are here to investigate this pirate attack. I need to ask you something, please cooperate."
This special agent from the Imperial Security Agency has a beautiful appearance and looks to be in his twenties. He has a gentle smile like the sister next door, which is in sharp contrast to the other serious-looking middle-aged man next to him.
But Wang Chen would never regard her as the real sister next door.
You must know that the Imperial Security Bureau is an existence that scares countless people. It is also one of the most famous organizations in the Holy Light Empire.
The Imperial Security Bureau is directly under the royal family and is only loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. It is known as the most loyal eagle dog of the Holy Light Emperor.
The emblem of the Security Bureau consists of an eagle, a hound, a nine-pointed star and a scepter, with the latter two representing the empire and the emperor respectively.
For hundreds of years, the hawks and dogs of the Imperial Security Bureau have captured and killed countless traitors, spies, pretenders, and criminals who endangered the security of the empire, effectively safeguarding the rule and stability of the empire.
Due to its cruel and ruthless actions, the Imperial Security Bureau has a mixed reputation among the public. It is more of awe and fear, and it can even stop children from crying at night!
Ordinary people, even nobles and nobles, would inevitably feel uneasy if someone from the Security Bureau suddenly came to their door.
Wang Chen had no fear in his heart and did not pretend to be afraid. He nodded and said, "Okay, please come in."
After the two special investigators came in, he closed the door and brought two bottles of mineral water.
The middle-aged man refused, but the female special investigator accepted it: "Thank you."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?"
The female special investigator did not answer directly, but opened her personal terminal and projected a holographic screen.
