Chapter 357 Shipwreck (6)
One hour later, inside the cruise ship's engine room.
"Hurry up! Install all the equipment at the correct nodes. Remember, we want the cruise ship to have an accident but not to sink. We don't have any transmission equipment this time."
"understand!"
After breaking through the blockade of the engine room, the Ferdinand family's men quickly "hacked" the monitoring equipment in the engine room. After confirming that they would not leak the news, a small team of people immediately entered the engine room and began to install some miniature remote control devices on the main engine and secondary engine that could temporarily interfere with the operation of the engine.
"How's the guy who went to the cockpit?"
"They've already gone in. The blockade there is a little simpler than ours. They are currently using a portable cognitive distortion device to control the cruise ship's crew. According to the time, they should have finished it."
"How are the people in the monitoring room?"
"We have already located the target's location. We have also confirmed the identities of the three people who had contact with her through the passenger list. It should be fake information. I am still inclined to believe that they are all from Infinite Company, or at least have some connection with the company."
"Then we must be prepared for battle. Where are the teams responsible for fighting? Also have the teams responsible for escorting come over. To be on the safe side, we must succeed in one go."
"The message has been sent and they are heading to the target community."
"How about support?"
"They are using medium-sized submarines to approach the cruise ship. The estimated arrival time may be delayed by about 20 minutes. There is a bear submarine formation moving near them. In order not to expose their position, they are currently entering a silent state in the deep sea."
"That's good. We can wait for the cruise ship to enter deeper waters. It also gives us some time to fight. Is everything installed?"
"Okay, we're tuning the controllers to the same frequency."
"Everyone, go get ready. We'll start at the scheduled time."
"understand!"
Half an hour later.
Although it was not that late, there was nothing on the sea and the weather was average, so except for the sea area near the cruise ship, other places were pitch black. There were some waves on the sea, but it was not dangerous, on the contrary, it was calm. It was a good opportunity with a dark and windy night.
On the floor where Leslie and Chu Yi's room was located, the men of the Ferdinand family had surrounded the place. They were hiding in various rooms, passages, and maintenance facilities, waiting for the order to rush in and capture Leslie.
The leader in charge of this operation was nervously observing the movement of the cruise ship while staring at the watch on his wrist. There was little time left before the estimated operation, so in order to stay calm, he remained silent.
As time passed, the cruise ship gradually approached the expected location. Finally, after a few minutes, the cruise ship arrived at the expected location at the expected time.
"Do it!"
Following the leader's order, the men who had been lying in ambush nearby emerged from their hiding places and quickly approached Leslie's room. The members responsible for the breakthrough did not even destroy the door, but used special equipment to go directly through the wall.
However, soon, not only was there no sound of fighting coming from the door, but it also opened quickly.
"No one in the room?"
Leslie and Chu Yi were not in their rooms.
"Everything is still there, and there's no sign of hastily packing. He must have left the room normally and didn't notice us."
"What are the people in the monitoring room doing? Why don't they report this news? Contact them immediately!"
But before they could contact the monitoring room, someone in the monitoring room contacted them.
"What's wrong with you?! Why aren't you keeping an eye on the target's movements?!"
"There was another force trying to hijack the cruise ship. They just attacked the control room, but we dealt with it."
"What? Did someone leak the news?"
"It shouldn't be. We have conducted a simple interrogation on them. They should be a group of pirates with a mercenary background. We found several small unmarked boats in the waters near the cruise ship. They should be their accomplices. We have hacked their engines remotely. They will not have any support, but we cannot rule out the possibility that there are still some guys on the cruise ship. We have passed the message to the people in the engine room and the bridge."
"I hope this won't affect our mission. Where is the target? Where is he now? Has he spotted us?"
"No, they went to the direction of the hot spring bath in the nearby community and have not come out of there yet. Through the monitoring equipment, we can confirm that they are now inside."
"Engine room, hold the plan. I will give you orders once we reach the hot spring baths."
"clear."
"Monitoring room, search all locations on the cruise ship for any remaining pirates. I will send some people to deal with them. We must not let these guys interfere with our plan. Also, keep an eye on the target's location. How many people are there?"
"Besides the target, there are three more, one man and two women. I have sent you their appearances."
"Okay, stay alert at all times. If anyone dares to approach the engine room, the cab, and the monitoring room again, as long as they are not our people, no matter who they are, they will be killed without mercy!"
"understand!"
"Action, go to the hot springs now!"
at the same time.
While the people of the Feidenan family were rushing to the hot springs, Han Zu, Gloria, Chu Yi, and Leslie were enjoying the hot springs. Unlike Chu Yi and Leslie, Han Zu and Gloria, who had contractor equipment, knew everything about the Feidenan family.
The contractor's equipment on Han Zu seemed to have special features. Not only the other party's movements, but also the details of their communications, Han Zu heard them clearly, including the pirates. Han Zu did not want them to affect the actions of the Feidenan family in this unexpected situation.
"I'll go get something to drink, what do you guys want?"
"Champagne will do."
"I want a Coke."
"What about you, Chuuichi?"
"Whatever. I'm fine with anything. How about I go with you?"
"I was just going to get a drink, not to run away."
"Ok."
Han Zu's behavior was just right, and neither Chu Yi nor Leslie had any doubts. Since he behaved no differently than usual, Gloria didn't notice anything unusual. But after all, the Ferdinand family was heading in this direction, so Gloria still used the contractor's equipment to secretly talk to Han Zu.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. At most I'll just smoke a cigarette. There are a lot of people here. Even if they get here, they'll need time to drive away irrelevant people."
After leaving the spa, Han Zu did not go to get any drinks or smoke. Instead, he avoided the crowd and used the soul-grabbing miasma to come to the edge of the cruise ship, then jumped directly into the sea. Using the contractor's equipment to shield his own energy signal, Han Zu boarded the pirate ships in a short time and eliminated all the people on them. He even had time to interrogate one or two guys who looked like pirate leaders. After confirming that they were indeed just pirates, he eliminated everyone and returned to the cruise ship as quickly as possible.
"It's been fifteen minutes. I'll go check it out. Leslie, don't wander around."
"it is good."
Fifteen minutes had passed, and Chu Yi felt something was wrong, so he stood up from the hot spring and prepared to go see what Han Zu was doing. However, as soon as he reached the door, he ran into Han Zu, who was holding various drinks and smelling of cigarettes.
"Are you done soaking?"
"Um, I... need to go to the bathroom."
"Oh. The restroom is the second entrance on the right."
"Thanks."
Chu Yi walked towards the toilet, while Han Zu returned to the hot spring with various drinks. When Leslie was opening the champagne, Gloria noticed that Han Zu's body was still wet and his skin was very cold. So she quickly stretched out her finger, rubbed it on Han Zu's neck, and then put it in her mouth.
"Salty, went into the sea?"
"Your statement sounds very indecent."
"What went into the sea?"
"Oh, it's an 18th-tier movie star. I smoked a cigarette while getting my drink and chatted with the waiter for a while. I don't have much impression of that movie star, but Gloria does know him."
Leslie knew that they were definitely not talking about this, and they were obviously trying to evade her, but Chu Yi had mentioned the things to pay attention to when getting along with Han Zu, so Leslie tactfully did not continue to ask. She pretended to know nothing.
But Chu Yi was different. She did go to the bathroom, but after coming back, she went to the front desk. The front desk clerk was a young girl who seemed to have just started working and looked a little nervous. Chu Yi chatted with her for a while to relax her mood. After the two of them got a little familiar with each other, she began to ask about what happened just now.
"When did the tall, well-built gentleman get the drink just now?"
"Is that the gentleman you're talking about the one with the distinctive tattoo on his left arm?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Um, just now, about two or three minutes ago?"
“Oh, is there a smoking area here?”
"Yes, it's on your left."
"Has he been in there? When?"
"Just now, when I was getting a drink. I've been in there for about a minute."
"So he was away for a while after he came out of the bathhouse?"
"Yes."
"OK, thanks."
Although Han Zu's behavior sometimes seems like meaningless wandering, experience tells Chu Yi that Han Zu actually does not do anything meaningless, at least that's the result.
There was no sound of fighting around, nor any signs of residual energy. Chu Yi was not sure what Han Zu had done after leaving here, but based on his current experience, Chu Yi suspected that Han Zu must have gone to resolve something.
"Could it be someone from the Ferdinand family?"
At this moment, Chu Yi's peripheral vision caught sight of a person. Although this person's movements were normal, there was something wrong with his attire.
She was not wearing a swimsuit.
The hot spring bath on the cruise ship, at least the one Chu Yi was in. Its structure is different from that of ordinary hot spring baths. As an attached project of the VIP guest area, you don't need to buy tickets to enter this hot spring bath. The amount spent on food and drinks will be directly deducted from the balance. Some VIP tickets even include all possible expenses. The two tickets Chu Yi bought are of this model. Although Han Zu seems to have used a fake identity, he has never been a stingy person when it comes to spending.
The structure of this kind of hot spring bathhouse is that the dressing room is at the entrance, and it is not open to ordinary tourists, so everyone inside the bathhouse, including the service staff and the receptionist that Chu Yi just chatted with, are wearing swimsuits. Even the cleaning staff are the same. Of course, the cleaning staff here are all young and beautiful men and women.
The person Chu Yi saw was dressed neatly. She was not a tourist who came to take a hot spring bath, nor was she a staff member on a cruise ship. This discovery immediately made Chu Yi alert. After all, the person's clothes were very suitable for action, and it was obvious that she was looking in his direction.
Chu Yi pretended that he hadn't noticed anything, and quickly returned to the hot spring and told others about his discovery.
"Someone is watching us, and it looks like he wants to take action. I suspect it might be someone from the Ferdinand family."
"Should we leave now?"
"From the situation, since I can already spot one of them, it means they have probably surrounded this area. Luckily I didn't take off my earrings. I can try to hack into the cruise ship's system, create some chaos, and then find a chance to escape."
Compared to the tension of himself and Leslie, Chu Yi noticed that Han Zu was still very relaxed and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Gloria, who was next to him, was just quietly drinking the champagne in her hand.
"Do you have any ideas, Han Zu?"
"I don't think there's any need to run. Letting the enemy stay behind us and pursue us will only put us in a passive position."
"You want to lure as many people together as possible, and then quickly kill them in large numbers? But once you do that, it will cause chaos. If there is chaos, it will be difficult to tell who the enemy is. I know you don't care about this, but it's better to restrain yourself."
"No need. I think since they didn't show up, they don't want to attract too much attention, so they will definitely find a chance to create chaos and keep other irrelevant people away from us. That way they will have a chance to attack. If it were me, I might tamper with the cruise ship's engine, and then use the broadcasting authority in the cockpit to spread some false news to the entire cruise ship, like..."
"Buzz~~!!!"
At this moment, the cruise ship suddenly shook violently, as if it had hit a reef or the engine had suddenly stopped.
"Dear tourists, please note that the cruise ship collided with a reef during the voyage and the main engine was partially damaged. Please do not panic, return to your room as soon as possible and wait for the cruise ship to be repaired. We will..."
"Just like this."
Unlike other tourists who left the hot spring bath immediately after being evacuated by the staff, Han Zu and others were completely unmoved. The staff on the cruise ship were still very efficient and quickly evacuated all other tourists. In addition, the men of the Feidenan family fanned the flames, so even after the staff evacuated, they did not notice that Han Zu, Gloria, Chu Yi, and Leslie were still in the hot spring bath.
Soon, there were only four people left in the hot spring bath. The sound of dense footsteps was heard, and a large number of Ferdinand family's men quickly surrounded the hot spring pool where the four people were. There were many people standing densely around, and it was obvious that they attached great importance to this operation.
"Leslie, you should come back with us. If you cooperate, we can let these three go..."
"Are you all perverts? Do you like watching other people soak in hot springs?"
"We can let these three go."
"Are you deaf? Or are you mentally retarded? Interrupting someone when they are talking is a very uncultured behavior."
"You were the one who interrupted me first. You'd better shut up now, idiot, or I..."
"Buzz~~!"
Two gray rays split the guy standing opposite Han Zu in two from the crotch upwards. The sudden change made everyone stunned for a moment.
"Did he just scold me?"
Han Zu stood up from the hot spring and asked in a puzzled manner.
"Yeah, he called you an idiot. It looked like the others were in cahoots with this guy."
Gloria was also very cooperative.
"Oh, then I understand."
"What's going on in there? Is there a fight?"
"This is not the sound coming from our equipment, prepare for support!"
The Ferdinand family thugs outside the bathhouse heard multiple energy humming sounds coming from the hot spring area, but this energy humming sound was not the sound that their weapons could make, so something must have gone wrong. However, they were not unprepared for the possible battle, and those who had just entered were just cannon fodder. The real fighting force was completing the blockade of the bathhouse area, so it was not a big problem.
At least that's what they think.
