The announcement on the ship suddenly sounded again: "Please pay attention to all passengers and friends, please note that the current sea continues to be windy, with gusts of wind reaching level 11 and wave height of 6-7 meters. In order to ensure the safety of all passengers, please immediately take a life jacket nearby, and wear it full-time before leaving the wind and wave area, whether lying down, walking or carrying out any activities, to prevent the ship from shaking and falling into the water, or from unpredictable accidents. ”

"The ship's life jackets are fully equipped, and are distributed in each cabin, post, workbench, aisle, as well as entertainment areas, restaurants, toilets and other public places in strict accordance with the regulations. The life jacket provided by this ship belongs to the professional equipment of the open sea, which is different from the general life jacket for small boats, and the precautions for wearing the ocean life jacket are as follows: after the passenger takes out the life jacket nearby, open the protective bag, refer to the wearing video being played, tighten the zipper, buckle the safety buckle, fasten the safety rope, check whether the life jacket is in good condition, whether it is equipped with a life flute, shark repellent, dry food package, fresh water bag, seawater battery, For high-pressure gas cylinders, please be sure to turn on the protective switch of the warning light, the switch is located in the upper left pocket of the life jacket, please check whether the life jacket is powered on normally. ”

"The staff is about to check the condition of the equipment of the 8 lifeboats again, and no extraneous personnel will be allowed to move outside the cabin during the operation to prevent danger, and after 10 minutes, all the watertight devices leading to the outboard will be closed, thank you for your cooperation. ”

When it comes to the safety of cruise ships and passengers, the tone of this broadcast seems to be a little hurried and compact, no longer slow, and almost all cabins, posts, aisles, and public areas are opened, and the volume is also turned to the maximum.

Could it be that the ship is going to capsize?!!

Liu Zichen and Luo Zhuyuan also heard the broadcast almost at the same time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue didn't dare to slack off, and quickly put on their life jackets according to the broadcast requirements and video explanations, and checked them several times. Even if there is doubt in his heart, the basic protective measures cannot be ignored, not to mention that Liu Zichen has the heart to go outside the cabin to find out, and life jackets are even more indispensable.

Shen Mingyue couldn't hold back the discomfort all over her body, and said with some worry: "In 10 minutes, the external passage will be completely closed, isn't this the place where there are no silver three hundred taels?

Liu Zichen thought for a while: "After all, the Moon Princess has a large tonnage, and its length is more than 100 meters, and there are so many hatches, and it is normal that individual hatches above the deck are not closed as required." For those of us who are laymen, it always feels like the current situation is very dangerous, but for the old crew members who have been begging for a living at sea all year round, it may not be anything at all, and maybe the purpose of broadcasting is just a routine. ”

"That's right. Shen Mingyue agreed, "But how should we act? 10 minutes is too short, and I am not familiar with the Moon Princess." ”

Liu Zichen smiled slightly: "You didn't listen carefully just now, what is the purpose of the crew to turn off the watertight device?"

Shen Mingyue seemed to be a little clearer, and she suddenly said, "I'm going to test the lifeboat!"

"That's right. Liu Zichen said firmly, "Whether it's true or not, they can't close the work channel, as long as we quietly follow these staff or take a closer look, we are not afraid that we will not be able to get outside the cabin, besides, it is not so difficult to know if there are strong winds and waves on the sea." ”

Shen Mingyue is so smart: "As long as people get to the outboard, they will know after standing for a while." ”

The two made up their minds, and they didn't discuss it anymore, seeing that there were a few safety helmets in the life jacket storage cabin, the two of them took one and put it on their heads, wearing professional life jackets and hard hats on their heads, so they almost smeared some engine oil on their faces.

Of course, the real crew is not so easy to fool.

The two of them carefully held the handles of various parts and walked towards the side of the board, don't look at the sightseeing cabin seems to be separated from the sea by only a layer of glass, but really to go out of the cabin, you need to turn around, through two or three layers of inner aisles, several watertight doors to do, this is actually a kind of safety measure of the cruise ship, if every passenger can casually go to the outboard, then whose responsibility is the risk?

If it is not designed in this way, it will not be difficult for passengers in the cabin to judge the conditions on the sea, regardless of whether there is moonlight outside, passengers will not be able to judge the wind and waves with the naked eye.

Finding the lifeboat maintenance route was not as difficult as imagined, and the professionalism of the boatmen was not as good as imagined, and the two stumbled and searched for two or three times, and they had already found clues: the so-called closed external passage was just a simple binding and fixation, even if it was a girl with little strength at hand, it could be quickly lifted with a little effort.

Liu Zichen had a little bottom in her heart, but she didn't plan to destroy the fruits of the shipwrights' labor, but took Shen Mingyue to seriously search for the watertight doors that had not yet been tied and fixed.

Shen Mingyue asked softly: "Otherwise, I'll go out and have a look now, Sister Zichen, you help me control the wind." ”

Liu Zichen shook his head: "Let me think about it." ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Mingyue said in surprise, "I just opened the door and went out, and I will definitely return within 2 minutes, it will be fine." ”

Liu Zichen didn't speak, she seemed to be worried about something.

Shen Mingyue had an idea: "Otherwise, I'll open the door a crack, and then stretch out my hand to probe, won't I know if there are any strong winds and waves?"

"Silly girl!" Liu Zichen smiled dumbly, "Do you think it's a Chinese ghost story?" In the dark night, a pink and white little arm suddenly stretched out, probing, probing, probing, probing, probing, probing, ......probing,

Shen Mingyue herself was amused by this kind of picture: "It seems to be a little infiltrating." ”

Liu Zichen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said happily: "You remind me like this, I really have a way!"

"Mingyue, take off your helmet. Shen Mingyue did as she was told, Liu Zichen gave her a look, and then gently pushed open the watertight door in front of her, without feeling any special resistance.

"Throw it out, the higher the better. ”

Shen Mingyue's hands and feet were nimble, she threw out the hard hat in her hand with all her might, the bright yellow hat seemed to have its own tracer, and landed on the outboard deck not far away with a strange curve, making a crisp click.

Someone outside seemed to be muttering upwards, not too loud: "Be careful, don't wear your hat properly......"

Liu Zichen's face couldn't help but flash a smile.

"Mingyue, let's go back. She closed the watertight door.
