Chapter 212 Let's Dance!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of stray bullets shattering crystal chandeliers echoed intermittently from the dome. Fortunately, the group was careful not to fire at the chandelier chains. These features designed for the cruise ship had taken into account the turbulence of the sea; otherwise, if the chandelier had fallen, the five-story height would have been enough to trigger a replica of the St. Lucia Academy event, turning everyone below into pancakes.
The dwarves wielding the blowguns were no match for Kree and his men; many of those hit fell from the heights with cries of agony.
The people lying on the ground or on those white dining tables.
Roast chicken, cakes, and other exquisite delicacies were left behind, and the grand hall was stained with blood.
However, it was the combination of gold and red that made Xiangzi even more fascinated.
As if to make up for the regret of not being able to perform martial arts dance, she held a gun in both hands and twirled happily in the dance floor full of human and monster corpses, occasionally stopping to change the spare magazine, and then continuing to unleash that ferocious firepower.
Kira! Kira! Sparkling! The glazed lamplight is now completely stained with blood.
He kicked over the tables laden with drinks that emitted an unpleasant smell.
Wreak havoc, fill your ears with the screams of those monsters, watch them fall from the sky one by one, and feel the quality of life.
Because I accidentally inhaled some air earlier, my hands and feet started to feel weak.
It's alright, the campfire is right here. As long as you feel safe and secure by the fire, you won't lack anything.
She picked up the gun and fired a shot at her own head, then tossed her long blue hair, now wet with red, once more amidst the cherry blossom flames.
Just do this, and those things that make you uneasy will disappear, they will feel pain, they will die!
All you need to do is laugh and dance, and things will fall into place.
When Xiangzi came to his senses, all the monsters in the scene had already hidden in the halls and rooms, leaving only a pile of corpses.
Kirito chased after the monsters that were running out through several doors.
At this moment, the only person in the hall was Kerry, who had lowered his gun and was casually loading bullets into his magazine because the target had disappeared.
Xiangzi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She turned her head and walked towards a door, wanting to take a few breaths of air before coming back in to continue hunting for those things.
However, after she turned her head, she heard a few crisp applause sounds coming from the now quiet hall.
Who else could be clapping?
"Mo~!"
Xiangzi muttered a low groan, then lowered his head and sped off.
Kerry shrugged innocently and went back to the door to take a few breaths.
However, upon arriving at the entrance, they discovered security personnel wearing gas masks pushing their way in against the flow of people.
When they saw Kerry come out for some fresh air, they immediately went up to him and handed him a gas mask as well.
"Um...sir! How's the battle going inside?"
“Those things have been moved into the room in the hallway.”
Kerry took the mask, but instead of putting it on, he put it in his bag.
Actually, they brought this thing with them, but they didn't have time to equip it in order to quickly clear out those things and prevent more people from suffering. However, the one this person gave them seems to be of better quality.
"I see! We hope to provide immediate medical attention to the guests who collapsed inside, and it's best to avoid exposing them to that gas for an extended period. This is really troublesome!"
These are the most basic staff members. The ship's most elite guards have long been concentrated around the big bosses to ensure that they will not be killed in the chaos.
Kerry nodded, indicating that they could prepare to come in.
Feeling that he had breathed enough air, Kerry turned around and went back inside. Actually, not breathing didn't have much of an impact on Kerry, except for the discomfort.
After Kerry came in, the others followed, but this time everyone was wearing gas masks.
[Sato Kazuma: Kerry, you two go up over there. Kirito and I will clean up this side.]
Kazuma glanced down the corridor and decided to split up.
However, when the group opened the doors to the apartments from different floors, they were all disappointed to find that most of the apartments were already empty.
In some cases, the ceiling of the toilet was opened, and in others, the ventilation ducts were opened.
These creatures had all crawled into the narrow gaps that were barely passable by humans. Only a few, in rooms where there were no such places, hid in various cabinets, and were then directly arrested by Kerry and his team using the same tracking sensors.
And these things that were arrested this time once again showed the same reaction as the one in the kitchen before.
"Please! I beg you! Let me go! I! I just have dwarfism, and I was transformed into this by others! I! My wife has been kidnapped, if I don't do this..."
"Big sister, please let us go! We were taken from the orphanage when we were little. The adults always said that if we did well this time, they would let us see our parents..."
"Spare me! Spare me! I'll do anything for you, anything I don't want to do. I'll be your research subject, I'll be locked in a cage and manipulated by others, I'm willing to be your luggage carrier and scout out dangerous places for you!"
Pleasant words kept escaping from the mouths of these pleading creatures.
They always have all sorts of excuses, and they don't put up any resistance, as if they have truly submitted completely.
If Kerry hadn't warned him beforehand, Xiangzi, who had already returned to normal, might have actually softened his heart.
Now, all that awaits these arrested individuals is to be chopped into dumpling filling.
The group began searching room by room from the first floor, but the only strange thing was that they couldn't find out how the other party released that mist.
Moreover, even those who were compliant received nonsensical answers when interrogated about the true purpose of the attack.
"I...we're going to kidnap these rich people!"
"I...I was hired by pirates, we did it for money."
"It's all that Katahara Metsudo! It's him! He made us do this, kidnapping everyone to obey his orders."
Unfortunately, these cunning little devils didn't seem to have prepared to coordinate their statements beforehand.
So much so that after the group mentally compared the information they had gathered, they decided to simply grab the person and kill them.
The search lasted for about half an hour. After the group confirmed that they had searched all the rooms they could find, and that there were no more hiding in the pipes or mezzanines, they met up on the stairs.
Meanwhile, a large number of staff members were already carrying the unconscious people out.
However, there was no more space inside the ship to accommodate so many people lying together, and the dozen or so medical personnel on board for relief were already overwhelmed with work.
"Phew...it seems this ship will probably be heading back to port?"
Xiangzi mumbled something under his gas mask.
However, the group didn't realize that after the chaos just now, most of the people in charge on the ship were already lying down.
And while all the security personnel rushed to the banquet hall at the bow, the true heart of the ship, the bridge high up at the stern, was unguarded, and the ship had long since deviated from its original course, heading towards the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

Chapter 213 First Meeting, Single Push, Marriage.
As the monsters all hid, the ship did not become calm.
Or rather, many troubles have only just begun; the ship has been sailing for most of the night, and the sky is beginning to lighten.
Going back won't be something that can be done in a short time.
Moreover, there were many unconscious people on board, and the doctors were unable to help them.
Everyone is trying their best to contact the outside world in order to be rescued as soon as possible. Now the ship has left the coverage area of the land-based signal base station, and even if they can make contact, they can only use the satellite base station on the cruise ship itself.
The people in the bridge have also indicated that doctors have been arranged on land so that all the unconscious people can be rescued immediately once the cruise ship is ashore.
However, apart from the ship's onboard communication system, the satellite base station was destroyed in the recent attack.
If it were a professional, they would probably go up and question or defend it, but in the attack just now, many ship crew members disappeared in the chaos.
Security officials speculate that some of those items were hidden in the ship's pipes and used to ambush people outside.
Currently, Katahara Metsudo is in a coma due to poisoning, and the heads of several other major companies have also been affected. Only the representative of Tokyo Electric Power Company, which is still conscious and ranked 11th, can take charge of the situation.
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) representative Katsumasa Hayami was also trying his best to appear to be in charge.
"Everyone! Everyone! The ship is returning to Chiba at full speed. Please don't panic! We are safe!"
Those small monsters only dare to ambush us from the various passageways. As long as we stay in the corridor, we'll be safe! Now we just need to wait for the shore!
Listening to his words, not many people felt at ease; many were struggling with how to handle such a big matter.
Many others are considering what they should do if these people were to fall asleep and never wake up again.
The security personnel looked as if they had lost their parents, while some business owners gathered in small groups to discuss what to do next.
Of course, most people were huddled up in the corridor, tense and distraught.
With fewer than 200 companies but over 2000 employees, most of whom were company staff, this should have been a carnival for the upper class.
First comes the departure of luxury cruise ships, followed by the arrival of the super resort island of Yuanliu Island, exclusively for the wealthy.
On the shore of that private island owned by Katahara Mitsudo, countless bikini-clad beauties will be waiting for them.
What follows is a breathtaking battle of fighters. These geniuses, who have spent their entire lives honing their martial arts skills, will fight like slaves in a gladiatorial arena on that island, engaging in a life-or-death struggle that is absolutely forbidden by outside laws.
And they can also place their bets and excitedly await the result.
There was no shortage of delicious food and enjoyment, and everyone returned to Japan satisfied after 10 days and 10 nights of fun.
But now everything is ruined: horrific attacks, hideous monsters, poison gas, and blood.
They trembled with unease, praying to return to Japan quickly, to the world where their status granted them privileges.
Regardless of what they thought, Kerry and his group, having resolved the issues inside, split up and patrolled the corridors on each floor.
Two people were inside, and two people were outside.
The cabin doors on a cruise ship are naturally not designed to open directly outwards. They all have separate corridors and rooms where people who have fainted lie. However, to prevent attacks from unexpected creatures emerging from various corners, the doors are kept open, and a large number of security personnel are gathered there.
Furthermore, because the view from different levels is not very open, Kazuma and Kirito need to keep moving up and down to make sure that no monsters will suddenly pop out.
Meanwhile, Kerry and Xiangzi were outside, where most of the people huddled in the corridor could be seen at a glance, and they would immediately make a sound if anything unusual happened. However, because of the size of the ship itself, Kerry and Xiangzi still needed to walk back and forth to make sure that there would be no problems.
"As a result, a vacation turned out like this."
Xiangzi took a deep breath.
However, she didn't regret it at all, and was even glad that she was there when the accident happened.
