Chapter 412: You Choose 'Humanity' and I Choose 'Survival'
Yang Meng smoked a cigarette and watched a few lifeboats row away, and some people jumped directly from the boat into the sea to climb onto the lifeboats, tsk, these people are crazy?
There was indeed smoke coming from the cabin now, but when I saw only smoke and no high temperature, I knew that it was smoke from the fire. The fire in this cabin should have been contained.
Yang Meng told Susan about the situation, and Susan was relieved, but she didn't know if it was because of the cold or what, she leaned on Yang Meng by Yang Meng's side, smoking one cigarette after another.
The first mate listened to Yang Meng's analysis and stood up from the ground and went to find a few other injured sailors: they are still good, and they have to find a way to rescue a few people who fell into the water.
Just now, many people grabbed life jackets and jumped into the sea, such weather and water temperature, in the sea, that is looking for death!
Susan leaned against Yang Meng's side and looked at the chaotic people on the deck and said, "God, how can this be?"
Yang Meng said with a smile: "Susan, life is not watching movies, you see what 'let women, the elderly and children go first' in "Titanic", this is really not the case in reality, in reality: if a shipwreck really occurs, the first person to flee must be the captain and crew." If you look at the shipwrecks of a hundred years, how many captains and first mates have not escaped?"
Susan was stunned: "You said that 'let the old man and the child get on the lifeboat first' was made up by the movie?"
Yang Meng sighed after hearing this, and gave Susan a real education lesson.
When the movie "Titanic" encountered difficulties at the end, the movie was full of displays of human nature: the captain of the ship organized the crew to let the old man and children get on the lifeboat first, the priest prayed for everyone there, the musician who did not forget to play music to appease the crowd when the ship was about to sink, the old couple who calmly faced death at the last moment of their lives, including the last Jack who left the chance to live to Ruthγγγγγγγ
Anyway, in this movie, the brilliance of human nature is brought into full play.
Well, if such a movie is made by Han Chinese, it can be scolded to death------ which is too 'fake and empty', but it is a Hollywood blockbuster, so everyone sings and believes it.
What about the facts?
The owner of the ship, Bruce Ismay, was also on board at the time, so how did he get into the lifeboat?
There are only 16 lifeboats on board, and there are more than 2,000 people on board, who are the people who can get on the lifeboats? Of course, the rich people in the first class!
It was indeed said on board: women and children got into the lifeboat first, but this also referred to the rich in first class.
Of the 32 children in the first class at that time, only one died, and out of 75 children in the third class, 55 died! Four of the 143 women in the first class died, and three of them volunteered to stay on board and not escape, while more than half of the women in the third class died.
The so-called priority for women and children is limited to women and children in first and second class.
In fact, those first-class and second-class passengers who died were also superstitious that the "Titanic" was an "unsinkable ship", and in the end they did not believe that the ship would sink and finally died at the bottom of the sea.
What do you say?
Equality, but the cruel reality is in front of us, in the face of disaster, the good and evil, the beauty and ugliness in human nature are vividly displayed. It's like during the epidemic, any kind of moth can pop out.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
"So to speak. Yang Meng stepped on the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it: "If there is really a problem with the ship, the captain and the first mate, the important personnel of the ship, will definitely put themselves in a safe place first." Do you see that they were nervous? As a result, the emperor was not in a hurry, and the eunuchs were in a hurry, and a group of greedy people who were afraid of life and death jumped into the sea first. I really don't understand what they think, with such bad weather, and so far from the Isle of Man, it is a question of whether they can survive or not. With that, he turned and left.
"Where are you going?" asked Susan.
Yang Meng spread out her hands: "Where else can we go? Go to sleep! It would be nice if we could go to the Isle of Man tomorrow morning!"
"Well, why is that? we should be there soon, right?" asked Susan, puzzled.
Yang Meng pointed to the lifeboats in the sea that were running farther and farther away: "Let's think about it from another perspective, if I grab the lifeboat now, the first thing I will do is to quickly row the lifeboat farther away! With so many people piled up on these eight lifeboats, and encountering such a harsh natural environment, their danger is far greater than ours. Although this is a group of bastards, you can't ignore them, if you don't care about them, if they have an accident, including the captain, they will be held legally responsible, that is called 'inaction'. So when the captain comes back in a moment, he should contact the coast guard and send a helicopter to find the eight boats and guide them back. Even if there were helicopters, it would be nice to be able to do it in one night. I have no opinion that you want to wait here for your friends to come back, but I suggest you go back and change into dry clothes, it won't be fun to catch a cold!
Susan was puzzled and asked, "Yang, how can you be so calm?"
Yang Meng smiled: "Maybe it's because there are too many things encountered?"
He really didn't brag about that, he had met so much in the last two months, so much that he didn't want to remember.
Hearing this, Susan suddenly laughed: "How old are you, you speak old-fashioned, well, I prefer to believe that you are a racial talent, I found that the Han people I met were very calm and not impulsive." β
Yang Meng spread out his hands and was noncommittal: "Well, weigh the pros and cons before doing things, if you say it is good, it is called calm, and if it is bad, it is called cowardice." But I can tell you that if I had judged the ship to be in danger, there would have been my place on the first lifeboat. There is a writer in our country named Liu Cixin, who wrote a book called "The Wandering Earth", which was also made into a movie. I don't know if you've watched that movie or not, but I recommend you read that book, like "Titanic", it is written about "crisis", but "Titanic" chooses "human nature", and "The Wandering Earth" chooses "survival", in the face of survival, all morality is papery. What am I telling you to do here? Let's go, let's wait!"
Yang Meng didn't care about Susan, he went back to the room and took off the wet clothes on his body, prepared a set of dry clothes and continued to sleep, but he just took off his clothes and the door was pushed open Susan walked in.
"Wow, I can't see your muscles are so good!" Susan whistled.
Yang Meng was only wearing underwear, he
A little helplessly, he took out a pair of dry pants from his bag: "I think you should knock on the door before you come in." After saying that, he hung his wet T-shirt and pants on the wall to dry, and then wiped his head with a towel, then lay down on the bed and turned his head to the other side and said, "It's okay, I won't peek at you changing clothes, you can quickly change your wet clothes." β
The wall light switch on the wall in the room of this kind of ferry is not in their room, and there is no door to turn off the light, and it is really inconvenient for men and women to be in the same room.
Yang Meng was lying there and heard the sound of changing clothes, a picture appeared in Yang Meng's mind, not to mention, Susan's body shape is not covered, it is a standard 'convex and upturned', domestic girls take thinness as beauty, lose weight every day, in fact, this unhealthy body shape many men don't think it looks good, Yang Meng is one of them, he prefers that kind of healthy beauty.
Don't want to, sleep!
But as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt that someone lifted his blanket, and then a cold body hugged Yang Meng from behind.
'Hiss', Yang Meng took a deep breath. Needless to ask? Susan.
He just wanted to turn his head, but Susan said, "Yang, don't look back, let me hold you like this for a while." I'm scared. β
it!
Yang Meng almost scolded the street after hearing this.
You're stripped naked, hugging me from behind and won't let me turn back? Are you going to train me to be Megumi Yanagishita?
I don't mind if you're looking for me, 'Hey, hey, hey,' but what do you mean by holding me from behind and not letting me turn back?
But anyway, feeling that Susan's body was constantly rubbing against herself, and her hand was constantly stroking Yang Meng's body, Yang Meng's little brother was very upright.
He swallowed.
It's been holding back for so long, and you shouldn't let it go if it's sent to the door, right?
Yang Meng turned around and hugged Susan and kissed.
Unexpectedly, Susan's reaction was stronger than Yang Meng's, and she wanted to tear off Yang Meng's pants as if she was crazy.
Looking at his clumsy appearance, Yang Meng motioned for himself to take it off, but Susan didn't let him, so he had to come by himself.
As a result, as soon as she took off Yang Meng's pants, she heard a knock outside the cabin door.
The two stopped their movements together, thinking it was Sean and they were back.
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Yang Meng shouted, "Who?"
An old voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Yang is in this room, right?"
"Yes, I'm Yang Meng, who are you?" Yang Meng let out a sigh, it's not Sean and them.
The voice outside the door said, "I'm Captain Kissen, and I've heard that you helped my crew just now, so I'm here to thank you." β
Susan looked at Yang Meng and waved her hand desperately outside the door, and Yang Meng understood: "Oh, Captain Kissen, it's not a big deal, it's just a gesture, don't take it to heart." I've already slept, can I talk about it tomorrow?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another shout came from outside the door: "Yang, it's me! Lucas! The first mate on the ship! Aren't you a doctor? Someone is injured, and we don't have a doctor on board! Come out and save your life!"
"Vako!"
