Chapter 352 Shipwreck (1)

Two days later.

At the port of a tourist city in Australia, Han Zu and Gloria boarded a luxury cruise ship. With the help of the contractor's equipment, the two became two VIP passengers without attracting any attention. The two were discussing something about the contractor's equipment in a luxurious cabin.

"According to my understanding of the information, the device permissions we can use now are just some of the most basic functions. Even so, the scope of its application has exceeded the large number of devices of Infinite Company. I am very curious about what further permissions can do."

"It's not hard to find out. You can learn part of it by looking at what the contractors can do."

"You mean it can be transmitted at any time, and in both directions?"

"This should be only a small part of it. However, our cooperation has not yet started, and we don't know what they want us to do. We don't have any extra permissions at the moment. I don't think we can guess it by guessing. After all, they are not the same as us."

There was no significant progress in the conversation about the contractor's equipment, so the topic was quickly exhausted and they soon moved on to other miscellaneous matters.

“Do you think the pyramid in the desert was built by a contractor?”

"I don't think so. Although I have never seen the material, the construction method is exactly the same as that of a normal pyramid. I am more inclined to believe that they had some communication with the Egyptians a long time ago and then gave them this special building material. After all, the interior of the pyramid is also very normal and has no other purpose."

"So they have been here a long time ago? Wait, if that's the case, then the problem they wanted us to solve hasn't been solved since then, right?"

"It's hard to say."

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. By the way, Han Zu, aren't we going to the third coordinate now? Why did you choose to take this cruise? According to the cruise route, we don't seem to pass by the third coordinate or any nearby locations. Do you have anything else to deal with?"

"That's easy, because we can't go directly to the third coordinate. Do you know where the third coordinate is, Gloria?"

"I remember it seemed like a... No, there's nothing there. There is an offshore oil drilling platform about 10 nautical miles away from the coordinate point. It seems to belong to the Eagle Sauce, but there seemed to be a serious accident there more than ten years ago. It should have been abandoned, right?"

"That's what it says on the surface, but in reality the place just changed from commercial to military use."

"Did they discover something too?"

"I'm not sure about that, but the drilling platform is still there, which means they didn't find what they were looking for, or at least not all of it. I think they must have found something in that sea area, but I don't know where it came from. I think it may be related to the third coordinate. Although judging from the location of the drilling platform, they should not know the specific location of the third coordinate, but this may be related to the fact that the Feidenan family deliberately conveyed wrong information, or simply did not communicate with them. After all, according to our current clues, the Feidenan family may be the one who actually controls the Eagle Sauce, at least part of it."

Using the contractor's equipment, Gloria called up the route map of the cruise ship they were on. Through observation, Gloria found a location that the cruise ship would pass by. That location was about seventeen nautical miles away from the third coordinate. It was an uninhabited area in the sea with no land or artificial islands around it.

"You plan to disembark from this location and then go under the sea?"

"Yes, with the high-level shielding of the contractor's equipment, we can avoid the detection nodes of the Dragon Bear in that area and reach the third coordinate without being detected."

"They have ships in this uninhabited area on the sea?"

"It's more like a submarine, but I think it could be something more advanced and less noticeable. Maybe there's a joint Dragon-Bear facility underneath."

Gloria was not very interested in such political factors, and she frowned. But Han Zu seemed to be quite interested in these things. Through the connected equipment, Gloria could see that Han Zu was using the contractor's equipment to search for various information about that sea area from various nodes.

"I thought you weren't very interested in politics either, but now it seems that's not the case."

"I'm really not interested in those things. I'm just trying to figure out which side I should prioritize if a conflict breaks out."

"As a Dragon Countryman, your goal seems to be very clear, which is the eagle and the bear."

"Why do you think so? Maybe it's just Hawk himself who can't tell."

"I remember that several generations ago, you and a bear seemed to have robbed something at the border between the two countries? Oh, right, it wasn't a bear, but his predecessor."

"Look, you know a lot."

"But I'm really not interested. So if there is a conflict, what are you going to do?"

"It depends on the specific situation. By the way, if you meet a Latin American, do you want me to..."

"It doesn't matter. Our national cohesion is not as strong as that of the Dragon people. In fact, in this regard, the cohesion of you Dragon people is a bit unusual."

"Tuk-tuk."

Just when the two were chatting happily, there was a knock on the door. When they opened the door, they saw the room service staff of the cruise ship. Unlike most cruise ships on the market, the service method adopted by this luxury cruise ship is still traditional, unlike other cruise ships that use intelligent AI systems. Of course, the humanized real-person service is also one of the publicity gimmicks of this cruise ship. However, it must be said that they did a good job in this regard, making people feel at home.

The service staff first politely asked Han Zu if he needed services such as room cleaning. After Han Zu declined, the service staff politely handed Han Zu an exquisite brochure and then gave Han Zu a brief introduction to the various projects on the cruise ship.

"We will hold a welcome banquet in the banquet hall at 7pm. If you have time or are interested, you can come to our banquet. Of course, if you don't like noisy environments and occasions, you can also ask room service to deliver meals to your room."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. The attitudes of these room service staff were very good, so Han Zu also kept smiling and listened to their introduction.

"I'm very sorry to bother you, sir. I wish you a pleasant journey at sea. If you need anything, you can come to me. I will help you."

"OK, thanks."

Han Zu politely replied to the waiter and even gave him a good tip. Then he closed the door and sat back on the sofa.

"You don't look like this often."

"The main thing is that the attitude of the room service staff is really good, much better than most of the people I have encountered who have no manners at all."

According to the speed of the cruise ship, it is estimated that it will take three days to reach the location predicted by Han Zu. Now they have just boarded the ship, and all the passengers have not boarded yet. The cruise ship is still parked at the edge of the port and is expected to depart in two hours. So now the two people who have nothing to do are lying on the sofa in a daze. Gloria originally wanted to use this time to check the data in the contractor's equipment. However, Han Zu said that there will be plenty of opportunities to do this kind of thing in the future, so it is better to take this time to relax for a few days, so Gloria stopped checking the data and information.

However, because they didn't know what to do for the moment, the two of them just lay on the sofa and stared blankly.

"How about we find something to do? For example..."

However, when Gloria was about to discuss with Han Zu about finding something to do, she turned around and found that Han Zu was already yawning and his eyelids were fighting. Seeing Han Zu about to fall asleep, Gloria also felt sleepy. After all, since they entered the desert and arrived at the contractor's special space, until now, neither of them had closed their eyes. Although their strong physical fitness prevented them from being affected by fatigue when necessary, once they relaxed, the feeling of fatigue would increase several times. However, in this state, the quality of sleep was first-class.

"Don't go to sleep yet, do you want to take a bath?"

"Oh...anything is fine."

Gloria took Han Zu into the bathroom, filling the bathtub with hot water while fighting the constant feeling of fatigue. Soon, the hot water was ready, and Han Zu was about to leave the bathroom as he watched Gloria taking off her dress. But Gloria held him back.

"Are you planning to take a bath together? Haha... I'm so sleepy, I might fall asleep before it even starts."

"I just want to take a bath together. After all, I am also... hehe... very sleepy. We have plenty of time. We can wait until we have enough sleep before... hehe..."

Yawning, Gloria took off Han Zu's clothes, and then lay down in the bathtub with him. The two of them were honest with each other and lay close to each other in the bathtub, but no one had any extra thoughts.

The hot water at just the right temperature relaxed the two people. The feeling of fatigue quickly took over, and soon, both of them fell asleep. Because Han Zu's body temperature was very high, the water temperature remained at a comfortable temperature and did not cool down.

"Woo~~~"

Two hours later, the sound of a cruise ship's whistle simulated by mechanical equipment briefly woke Han Zu up. He looked around and everything was normal. Gloria was lying on him, still sleeping soundly.

Holding Gloria out of the bathtub, Han Zu used the power of fire to evaporate the excess water from both of them, and carried Gloria to the bed in the bedroom. He wanted to ask the room service to send some food, but he thought that the ship had just started, and the service staff must be busy. Even if he ordered food now, it would probably take a long time to deliver it.

So Han Zu walked back to the living room, lit a cigar, and prepared to use this time to continue to familiarize himself with the use of the contractor's equipment. So he began to use it to scan the entire cruise ship.

"Scan completed."

"Non-threatening biological units: 8000"

"Low Threat Biological Units: 515"

"..."

The contractor's equipment provided detailed data on the entire cruise ship, including the total number of people on board, the size of the cruise ship, draft and load data, and the number of communities on board. It also provided an extremely detailed structural diagram of the cruise ship in real time, including some secret areas that did not appear in the original structural diagram.

The cruise ship was like a huge commercial center that could sail on the sea. It had all kinds of facilities. In addition to the basic entertainment areas, it even had a game area for the Infinite City. Han Zu had originally thought about whether to go and have some fun, but he gave up the idea in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Infinite Company.

"I didn't expect that there would be some shady industries on a cruise ship of this size. But it does make sense."

According to the monitoring equipment on the cruise ship that was hacked by the contractor's equipment, Han Zu noticed that some guys who were engaged in gray activities were entering and leaving the secret areas on the cruise ship. By scanning them with the equipment, Han Zu learned their identities and what they traded. He even hacked some equipment and saw the situation inside the secret area.

"It's quite interesting, just like a small black market, it has everything."

"The target DNA sequence was detected."

At this moment, the contractor's equipment gave a prompt, indicating that it had detected some targets that Han Zu had set in advance.

Switching scenes, Han Zu discovered some people who looked like ordinary tourists walking into a secret area. However, they did not carry any intrusive equipment, so it was unknown what was happening inside.

However, Han Zu had been keeping an eye on all the entrances and exits of the secret area, and immediately found the target the device was locked on. It was a bit strange because they didn't stay in the secret area for a long time.

"This is...Chu Yi?"

A familiar face appeared in the surveillance footage of the contractor's equipment being hacked. Han Zu looked at Chu Yi's face, thoughtfully.

In terms of time, Chu Yi was one of the first people to come into contact with Han Zu, and also one of the most mysterious people. When Han Zu first came into contact with Infinite Company, he could always see her in some places, or meet some people who were related to her.

But not long after, Chu Yi disappeared from the face of the earth, and there was no trace of her. Later, when Han Zu used his convenience to search for Chu Yi in the internal database of Unlimited Company, he found nothing. Based on previous contacts, Han Zu's understanding of her was limited to the fact that she was a subordinate of the former chairman and had cooperation with the current chairman. And she occasionally used some equipment that did not belong to Unlimited Company. And from some clues that Han Zu found during the Great Purge, Chu Yi seemed to have some connection with those who were purged, but there was no substantial evidence.

Han Zu is currently on "vacation". In order to avoid being noticed by the people of Unlimited Company, Han Zu has basically not used any equipment related to Unlimited Company. So theoretically, no one in Unlimited Company would know where he is. But Chu Yi's appearance always makes Han Zu feel that this may not be a coincidence.

But Han Zu would not take the initiative to contact her. After all, he could not completely rule out the possibility that this was a coincidence. Han Zu decided to avoid going out as much as possible before arriving at the destination and leaving the cruise ship. He would only stay in the guest room and use the contractor's equipment to observe the situation on the cruise ship to avoid any problems.

"What is she doing?"

"Evaluating route, estimated destination direction: 2"

"The cockpit and the engine room? What does she want to do?"

"Covering the cruise ship's control system... Coverage completed."

The cockpit and the engine room, these two places always gave Han Zu a bad feeling. So after the contractor's equipment covered the original permissions of the cruise ship, Han Zu manually locked the passages to these two places. Sure enough, through the blacked-out surveillance footage, Han Zu saw Chu Yi trying to enter these two places.

However, she did not try to open the passages to those places, nor did she even check whether those places were blocked. She just threw some things into the passages and then left quickly.

"Equipment analysis completed, equipment category: trap system."

"So there are other people, preparing to go in and do something, and she is stopping them? Scanning for special equipment signals."

"Scan completed, the number of device signals is: 0"

"Ok?"

Han Zu used the contractor's equipment to scan the signal of the special equipment, but found nothing. This made Han Zu a little strange. But he thought again, the ship had just started, even if someone wanted to do something, they probably wouldn't do it now, at least they would have to wait a day until the cruise ship arrived in the deep sea area before they could do it. Even the person who was going to do it might not be on the cruise ship now.

After setting the alarm, Han Zu put out his cigar, stretched, and returned to the bedroom. Gloria was still sleeping soundly, so Han Zu yawned, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again.
