Chapter 1220.

Wang Dust drilled out of the ventilation ducts and jumped down onto the floor with a steady hand.

This was a kitchen that was very large, surrounded by automated cooking equipment of all shapes and sizes.

Each floor of the cruise ship was set up with a large central kitchen to provide passengers with meals of all colors, and those who wanted to save money could order free fast food food in their cabins.

Of course the flavors certainly don’t compare to the natural and organic food that you pay for.

Due to the high level of automation practiced, there wasn’t much need for staff, and Wang Dust didn’t see a single person when he jumped down.

But he saw the surveillance cameras placed in hidden locations.

It wasn’t really easy for ordinary people to discover the existence of these surveillance cameras, and Wang Dust benefited from the sharp intuition brought about by his powerful divine soul, thus destroying all of them in the shortest amount of time.

After resolving the surveillance cameras inside the kitchen, Wang Chuan left the place again and ran outside.

However, he quickly reentered and opened the door of the cold storage.

The area of the cold storage was also very large, and the pre-made meals inside were piled up, with the temperature at 60 or 70 degrees below zero.

A normal person who didn’t wear special warm clothing would freeze to death alive if they didn’t stay in this space for more than half an hour.

Wang Dust didn’t either.

But he closed the door to the cold storage room inside and then burrowed inside a pile of food boxes.

Curled up in the darkness, with his back pressed against the cold, bone-piercing metal wall, Wang Dust closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, forcing his body to enter a state of tortoise hibernation.

Gradually, his breathing became extremely subtle and long, the frequency of his heartbeat dropped to several minutes before pulsing, and the temperature of his body surface converged with that of his surroundings.

At this time, Wang Chen had already turned into a large ice cube.

Bang!

Not long after, the door of the cold storage was opened from the outside, and a pirate in battle armor aggressively barged in.

He swept around, his helmet goggles flashing a faint red light as he searched for signs of life.

But the pirate found nothing and retreated with a curse.

And reclosed the door.

And Wang Dust, who was hidden inside the pile of boxes by the corner of the cold storage, didn’t have any reaction or awareness.

Not knowing how much time had passed, he abruptly opened his eyes.

A flash of light instantly flashed through the darkness.

Wang Chen’s breathing and heartbeat quickly returned to normal, the frost that had condensed on the surface of his body then melted away, and the temperature of his skin instantly reached the standard of a normal person.

The surrounding cold air, on the other hand, was separated by a layer of invisible power.

In the next moment, Wang Chen opened his personal terminal.

The holographic screen flashed, showing a normal signal connection – communication was restored.

Wang Chen was instantly relieved.

The restoration of communication meant that the crisis had been lifted, otherwise he would have to continue hiding here, and it was completely unknown how long he could hold out, and he would not be able to control his own destiny.

Out of caution, Wang Chuan entered the cruise ship’s public network with the help of his personal terminal and quickly found relevant information.

Seven hours ago, the Imperial Golden Lion Star Group Garrison’s Third Fleet’s task force broke into the FarStar cruise ship, and fought fiercely with the pirates occupying the ship, eventually wiping out the enemy and regaining control of the cruise ship.

Not only that, the Third Fleet also sank five pirate warships, achieving a beautiful victory.

Currently, the internal systems and order of the cruise ship have been restored, and the ship is in the process of counting the losses and repairing the damaged equipment.

At the same time, the owner of the Farstar expressed his sincerest apologies to all the passengers and said that he would compensate them for all the damages, including moral damages!

After browsing through the information in the public network, Wang Chen left the cold storage at ease and found his way back to his cabin.

The inside of the first class area was bustling with activity, quite a few staff members were replacing the damaged walls with the help of the maintenance robots, and even the floors had been replaced quite a bit.

As for the pirates’ corpses, they had all been cleaned up, not even a single drop of blood could be seen on the ground.

Soon all traces of the battle would no longer exist.

Wang Dust returned to the cabin he was staying in and leaned back on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Despite the fact that the whole process had been thrilling, he still deeply felt that his current power was still too weak, and that he needed to become even stronger in order to truly protect himself.

The technology of the interstellar era held too many threats for him!

Earlier, Wang Chen had relied entirely on his rich combat experience, strong will to fight and a little bit of luck to get out of danger, and in the end, he had to hunker down to survive.

In the final analysis, it was still that he didn’t have enough power!

Dingdong~

Just as Wang Chen was deeply reflecting on himself, suddenly the screen on the hatch automatically lit up, revealing the scene outside the door.

A visitor had triggered the doorbell.

Wang Chen saw a pair of unfamiliar men and women appear on the screen, both wearing uniforms with conspicuous badges on their chests.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe in his heart and immediately got up and opened the door to the room.

The woman standing at the door asked with a smile, “Hello, is this Mr. Wang Chen?”

“Yes.”

Wang Dust nodded, “May I ask who you are?”

The woman pointed to her ample chest and said, “We are special investigators from the Golden Lion Star Cluster branch of the Imperial Security Bureau, we have come to investigate this pirate attack, there are some things we need to ask you, please cooperate.”

This special investigator of the Imperial Security Bureau had a beautiful appearance and looked to be in her mid-twenties, with a gentle smile like a neighboring sister, contrasting sharply with the other middle-aged man next to her who looked serious.

But Wang Chen would never treat her as a real neighborly sister.

It was important to know that the Imperial Security Bureau was an existence that made countless people scared, and was also one of the most famous organizations in the Holy Light Empire.

The Imperial Security Bureau was directly under the Royal Family and was only loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, claiming to be the most loyal eagle dog of the Holy Light Emperor.

The badge of the Security Bureau was made up of a falcon, a hound, a nine-maned star, and a scepter, with the latter two representing the Empire and the Emperor respectively.

Over the past few hundred years, the hawk dogs of the Imperial Security Bureau had captured and killed many traitors, spies, pretenders and criminals who jeopardized the security of the empire, and had strongly maintained the rule and stability of the empire.

Due to their ruthlessness, the Imperial Security Bureau has a mixed reputation among the public, and is more of a source of awe and fear, even playing a role in stopping a child from crying at night!

People in general, even the nobles of the clergy, who were suddenly approached by people from the Security Bureau, would inevitably be anxious.

Wang Dust had no ghosts in his heart and didn’t deliberately put on a fearful appearance as he nodded his head and said, “Alright, please come in.”

After the two special investigators came in, he closed the door to the room and brought two more bottles of mineral water.

The middle-aged man refused, but the female special investigator took 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.

A surveillance video was shown to Wang Dust!
