"I...I don't know. This is an emergency siren. You need to go back to your room immediately."
"What emergency?"
Qin Shou felt a little unhappy. His trip home was not peaceful!
"I don't know, Mr. Qin, let me take you back to your room!"
Vivian stood up, Qin Shou nodded and stood up too.
He followed Vivian and ran out of the restaurant.
People in the restaurant also ran outside, and there was also a chaotic crowd outside.
At this time, the ship's public address system rang.
"I am the captain. We have encountered pirates. Please go back to your rooms. The staff will take shelter nearby. Our security personnel will fight off the pirates. Please don't worry."
"After returning to the room, lock the door and close it. I will notify everyone when the crisis is resolved."
"It's best for everyone to hide in the room and not come out until you hear my announcement."
Qin Shou frowned. Is this the captain's voice?
He had met Captain Brewster before, but he didn't say a few words and didn't remember his voice clearly.
He didn't think much and followed Vivian and continued running towards the room where he lived.
Five or six minutes later, they returned to Qin Shou's previous room.
Vivian wanted to leave and go back to the cabin below, but Qin Shou held her back.
"Don't run out. There may be danger outside now. You are right here. My room is big enough. I am not a bad person and I won't do anything to you!"
"Thank you Mr. Qin."
"Shall we move the sofa over and block the door?"
Qin Shou smiled and shook his head.
"No, if those pirates really come to the cabin to arrest people, it won't matter how we block the door. They must have guns and maybe explosives in their hands."
Vivian frowned. She felt that Qin Shou was right. Blocking the door was of no use. What was supposed to happen would still happen.
Qin Shou asked her to sit on the sofa, took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator in the room, and handed one to her.
Then he took the drink and walked to the window. It was a small round window that couldn't be opened at all, but it allowed him to see what was going on outside.
He saw a cargo ship, dozens of times smaller than a cruise ship, and a dozen speedboats.
There were some black people and some white people up there, and they all had guns in their hands.
Some even had rocket launchers.
Qin Shou frowned.
"Vivian, how far are we from the land now?"
"We sailed along the coastline of South America. We were outside the territorial waters of those countries and only about 10 nautical miles away from their territorial waters."
"How many nautical miles is that?"
"About 25 nautical miles."
Qin Shou understood, no wonder he could see the speedboat, the relationship was not far away...
If the distance were farther and the winds and waves were strong, these speedboats would have capsized long ago.
"Mr. Qin, what did you see?"
"I saw a cargo ship and some speedboats. There were some armed men on board."
"How many?"
"There should be quite a few."
"Then...can the security on the ship be maintained?"
Vivian frowned.
"Have you not been in this situation before?"
"No, we go on this route four or five times a year. In the three years I have been working on this ship, there has not been a single problem."
Qin Shou frowned.
There was no problem for so long before, so why did something go wrong this time when he came up?
Are those people from Lynn Company? Or are they pirates hired by Lynn Company?
The question is how did Lynn's company know he was on the cruise ship?
They have no reason to know!
If it weren't for them, it would just be a coincidence.
Qin Shou curled his lips and simply stopped thinking about it.
"Vivian, I think you need to change a room. My room is not safe. I think they might be here for me."
"Ah? Do you know them? Are they your enemies?"
"No, maybe someone spent a lot of money to kill me! Before they get on the boat, I'll take you to the cabin below."
"No, Mr. Qin, you have to come with me! I am very familiar with this cruise ship. I know there are many places to hide people. As long as we hide, they will not be able to find us."
"Okay, let's find a place to hide first."
Qin Shou's plan was to hide with Vivian first and make sure the hiding place was safe before sneaking out.
He was going to find the pirates and ask them if they came to see him.
If so, he could just ask how they knew he was on this cruise ship.
Otherwise, killing those pirates would be considered protecting the people on the cruise ship.
There are many people from the Dragon Kingdom on this cruise ship.
He can't control foreigners, but he can't watch his compatriots being killed.
Besides, Captain Brewster is a friend of Long Feng, so he kind of helped him by letting him board the ship and providing him with good food and accommodation. This favor must be repaid!
Qin Shou had no reason not to take action and to be a coward.
Vivian opened the door and took Qin Shou out.
She walked directly towards the stairs leading to the next floor.
As soon as I got there, I heard fierce gunshots coming from above.
"The guards started fighting with them? We need to hurry up."
Vivian immediately went down the stairs, and Qin Shou hurriedly followed.
They went down to the fourth floor below the deck, where there were some rooms for sailors and maintenance workers, as well as warehouses for storing materials.
Vivian took Qin Shou directly into a cold storage warehouse stocked with various fruits and vegetables.
The temperature here does not reach subzero, but it is only seven or eight degrees.
After entering, Vivian pulled Qin Shou and turned left and right among the shelves until she reached the shelf in the middle of the third row inside.
Vivian bent down, struggled to lift the wooden board under the shelf, and then slowly pulled it out.
A dark hole was exposed.
"This is it. This was done by a few maintenance workers on the ship before. Sometimes they would bring some private goods and put them here. Then they would find opportunities to take them out and sell them to the guests on the ship."
Qin Shou nodded. This place was secluded enough, but it was too cold.
"Wait for me..."
Vivian stood up and walked towards the shelves inside...
There was a rustling sound, and then Qin Shou saw Vivian walking over with two sleeping bags.
"They sometimes bring people up, so they hide two thermal sleeping bags. We get into the sleeping bags and hide inside. No one can find us."
"Can't they come over later?"
"No, those three guys didn't get on the ship this time. They stole the guests' belongings and were kicked off the ship. Now I am the only one who knows this place."
Qin Shou nodded, then there was nothing to worry about if she left her alone.
