Sweeping by the strong wind, the tilting angle and speed of the ship's hull continued to accelerate. When turning against the wind, it not only had to overcome the force of the wind but also withstand the pressure from the sea water.
In the cabin, there was nothing but deathly silence. Li Xiu'e was holding Qi Ming, her face was pale and dizzy, and she was extremely afraid of the sudden strong wind and lang. Qi Haotian used his body to protect Lin Weiyang in his arms, constantly calculating the differences in various data in his heart.
and proportions, and his face was livid.
"The hull is tilted seventy percent."
"Ninety-five percent of the tank is filled with water."
"Compass failed."
The reports that came out one after another were extremely clear, making everyone fearful. Lin Weiyang bit her lower lip tightly and hugged Qi Haotian tightly. Listening to the fast-paced heartbeat, her heart also rose to her throat.
.
No one said unnecessary nonsense. At this time, life seemed extremely precious. Although I understood that some operations could not save anything, I still tried my best to do it and fight for it.
"The first floor is 10% flooded." The voice reported by crew member No. 3 sounded a little frightened. The first floor of the tanker was in the direction they were in. Once submerged, the vast sea would be their burial place.
"Abandon ship." Qi Haotian suddenly ordered in a deep voice, turned around and opened the drawer to search for a life jacket. "After putting on the life jacket, go to the second floor and move up. When the time is up, grab a wooden board and jump into the water."
As soon as he said this, the captain did not hesitate much, and then waved to the other three crew members. The group immediately took out the life jackets from the drawer at their feet, put them on themselves as quickly as possible, tied the ropes, and skillfully
Not even a second is wasted in the action.
"Remember, you have to hold on to my hand even if you die." Qi Haotian looked deeply at Lin Weiyang and said, then immediately turned around and said to Li Xiu'e: "Qi Ming will be left to you."
Li Xiu'e nodded firmly, and Qi Ming, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, "Daddy, you must protect mommy, and don't worry about me and my beautiful aunt."
"Good son." He patted the back of Qi Ming's head lovingly, grabbed Lin Weiyang and rushed up the stairs to the second floor. Li Xiu'e, Qi Ming and others followed him, holding on to the railing of the stairs tightly.
, to maintain the center of gravity. At this time, nearly half of the originally luxurious first floor was flooded by sea water. Most of the expensive furniture and antiques were soaked in the water, silently carrying the weight of the huge lang.
Bang, the hull of the ship broke apart somewhere, making a crisp sound that shocked people's hearts.
Just when they climbed onto the deck of the second floor, the ship's hull completely tilted into the sea, and the entire cruise ship began to fall. It was not fast, but it had the power to swallow everything.
There was no star in the gloomy blue sky. Under the hazy moonlight, Qi Haotian stepped on the wooden ladder. He easily threw several wooden boards about 10 centimeters thick in front of everyone. The wooden boards were neither big nor small, just right.
It can bear the size and weight of a person, and relying on the salt, it should not be a problem to float on the sea.
The sea water is devouring everything, and the speed is also increasing. The originally luxurious cruise ship now looks like a lion, destroying everything in conjunction with the sea.
"Ready to jump!"
Just as the seawater spread across the deck, Qi Haotian and Lin Weiyang jumped into the sea with wooden boards on their chests. With a splash, Li Xiu'e, the captain and others also jumped in response, and the tanker completely sank into the sea at that moment.
.
The strong wind was still blowing, but with less force than before. The cold seawater hit her whole body. When the wound on Lin Weiyang's right arm came into contact with the seawater, the heartbreaking pain and chill rushed to her head and almost made her suffocate, but the sound coming from her left hand
The strength made her grit her teeth. It was Qi Haotian's hand.
About four seconds later, the life jacket on her body and the wooden board on her chest began to take effect, slowly lifting them up and out of the sea. The fresh air came into contact with her nasal cavity. She took a few deep breaths and suddenly turned around.
In one leap, she was already sitting on the wooden board with Qi Haotian's help.
Ignoring the pain in her body, she held her fingers together and pulled hard. Coupled with Qi Haotian's own strength, she jumped up and both of them were safe.
And just a few meters away from them on the sea, Qi Ming, Li Xiu'e and others were out of danger and sitting on the wooden board. The low temperature at night and the fact that his whole body was soaked made Qi Ming's face look extremely pale.
The wind gradually calmed down, and the night became deeper and deeper.
At this time, the captain was sitting on the wooden board, with his hands floating in the water and pushing towards Qi Haotian, "Mr. Qi, the ship is gone. It is not an option for us to waste time in the middle of the sea."
The hoarse voice was unclear, and the captain was trembling.
Qi Haotian didn't answer. He just held Lin Weiyang's hands tighter and looked up at the sky. There were no stars. The entire sea area seemed to only be able to see the water within a hundred meters at most. It was in a hazy state. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this.
, "Heavy fog."
Hearing the sound, the captain trembled. It was the fear deep in his heart. If there was no heavy fog, they could still give it a try and find land. However, as the temperature continued to drop, coupled with the heavy fog, it was difficult to distinguish
Direction, if you swim into the death route...
On the sea, squid kept slapping against the wooden board, making a "pop" sound. The fog was thick, and Qi Haotian's face was extremely ugly. He couldn't think of any other way. He didn't know much about sea knowledge, and at the moment, there were more than twenty people.
The experienced captain also looked frustrated at this time.
….
Time passed by minute by second, and the sea area they could see was no longer more than 20 meters under the heavy fog, and the sea breeze blew into people's bones with a fishy smell.
Qi Haotian's lips were filled with a cold color. He put the two wooden boards together and reached out to take Lin Weiyang into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." A gentle voice sounded in her ears, and she clearly felt the light body temperature coming from the two arms that tightly hugged her waist, and her heart was suddenly twitched.
With a sore nose, she held back her tears and said, "I'm not afraid. If you weren't by my side, life would be more painful than death. With you by my side, there's nothing to be afraid of." She tried her best to smile and turned her gaze away.
He moved to Qi Ming, who had fallen asleep not far away.
Looking at that satisfied smile, Qi Haotian's heart was filled with sadness, "If there is an afterlife, you will definitely be my Qi Haotian's woman."
"Well, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely marry you."
"Yanyan..." he whispered, his breathing getting weaker and weaker.
"Um?"
"How about you hold me and take a nap? Maybe you can see your son when you wake up."
"good…."
Two lines of clear tears passed down her face, and she leaned in his arms and closed her eyes in peace.
