There was a muffled thumping sound.

The thermos slammed against the door, and the ship's side began to rise. The sisters' cots creaked and moved towards the door.

"Ah......h

Ji still screamed, and subconsciously hugged Ji Ningzhi's neck. Ji Ningzhi's eyes were quick, she grabbed the clothes hook on the wall with one hand, and shouted: "Ranran, hold on to me!"

They were located at the stern of the second-class cabin on the third floor of the cruise ship, far from the atrium. The hull of the ship began to tilt to a high degree, and the wardrobe slammed against the door.

"Ah...... The ship capsized! The ship capsized!"

"Ah, help, help!"

"Mommy, Mommy!"

……

Then they heard heart-rending and frightened cries from inside the cabin, accompanied by a creaking and clanging crash.

The distorted sound of the alloy became extremely harsh, like a magic sound urging life.

Ji was still holding Ji Ningzhi's waist tightly, Ji Ningzhi's hand holding the hook was under tremendous pressure, and the green tendons began to be exposed, she gritted her teeth, and used all her strength to free up a hand and try to open the window.

The latch lock was dead, and no matter how her fingers played, she couldn't move.

The hull was tilting and the pressure was mounting so much that her fingers couldn't even reach the latch, only a little with her fingernails.

Until her fingernails were half lifted, the pain in her heart came, and the hull of the ship shook and capsized quickly.

Boom, bang......

Powerful water pressure lapped against the windows. The glass was smashed in an instant. The raging water rushed into the room, and the tremendous force slapped on her face, making her head dizzy.

Huge amounts of flowing water began to pour in. The hooks of his clothes were torn off, and Ji still only had time to cry twice, so he followed his sister to the door and hit it hard.

Ji Ningzhi, who was hit head-on, was limp and motionless as a whole, and she had already fainted.

The entire hull turned on its side and went to sleep. The tendency to sink eased up, but every part of the room. Columns of water began to gush out.

Cries for help, cries, and pains floated around the cabin, as if they had fallen into hell all at once, and it was terrifying.

Extinction. It came without warning.

Stars of Hope, Nights of Despair.

This cruise ship, which belongs to Changyi Hope Steamship Company, has been in service for seven years, and has been operating the Qingjiang tourist route for a long time, with a total length of 70 meters, a width of 12 meters, a gross tonnage of 2,200 tons, and a passenger capacity of 536.

Two hours ago. The Star of Hope left the port of Changyi and headed for Shizhou, 27 kilometers away from Shizhou. Heavy rainfall. The experienced captain thought that the rain had no effect on the march, and only slowed down, but just thirty minutes earlier, a strong wind had picked up on the river.

The draft of the river ship is shallow, and the wind resistance is poor. Especially since the river has swelled recently, and the wind and waves have been stronger than ever.

The river section is more curved. The water is turbulent, and night sailing is inherently risky.

The most terrifying is the thunderstorm caused by the heavy rain, where huge amounts of energy are released in a narrow area, forming a powerful tornado with a wind force close to force twelve.

The tornado hit, and almost instantly, the hull was blown over, and the crew didn't even have time to send a distress signal.

At midnight, on the surface of the misty Qingjiang River, a cruise ship that had just been brightly lit lost all its light in the blink of an eye.

The power system was completely out of order, and Ji was still holding his unconscious sister, choking on a few mouthfuls of water before he got into the cabin to form an air bag.

Looking at his unconscious sister, Ji Yi's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Just now, because Ji Ningzhi was in front of her, she was protected from the impact and was able to stay awake.

But now, the surroundings are pitch black, the water is still slowly rising, and the bubbles that are only two feet square, with limited oxygen, will inevitably suffocate to death once they are exhausted.

She was only a teenager, and she had never experienced such a terrible disaster at all, and her whole brain was blank, only knowing how to hold her sister's chest tightly to prevent her mouth and nose from drowning.

Nameless fear, strangled her neck. Her big eyes were filled with tears, which ran down her pale cheeks and dripped down the water. She lowered her head and pressed hard against her sister's face, gasping for pain and violently, her two pale lips trembled, and finally she couldn't help the intense fear and endless despair, and cried loudly: "Sister...... Sister, I'm so scared, you wake up quickly, wake up quickly. ”

Ten minutes passed, and Ji Ningzhi was still motionless.

The water began to overflow Ji Yi's chest, and she tiptoed on the wardrobe, against the roof, dragging her sister's heavy body vigorously.

Her hands trembled and caressed her sister's face, pressing wildly against her people, trying to wake her up, to ease the fear and despair in her heart.

But it backfired, and depression began to appear in her eyes, and she suddenly thought stupidly that if she fainted with her sister, she would not feel the fear of death.

Slide-like images began to pop up in her mind, and those black-and-white memories began to flood back to her.

She is an orphan, an orphan in a welfare home like her sister, not a biological sister. Listening to Ji's mother in the welfare home, she was wrapped in swaddling clothes and thrown at the door of the welfare home when she was just seven or eight days old.

My sister has a similar fate to her, I heard that it was found in the trash can of the hospital, according to the surveillance video, the biological parents are a pair of students who secretly ate the forbidden fruit, although they were arrested one after another and sentenced to abandonment, but then they still walked away and were never heard from.

There are many children in the welfare home, and they all follow the surname of Ji's mother.

Their life is very hard, and only during the New Year and festivals will there be candy and delicious food. She has never bought new clothes, and the clothes she has worn since she was a child are all leftovers from others.

What they desire most is for a kind person to adopt them.

My sister is studying very well. Take good care of her, give her delicious and fun things, and other children bully her. It will also help her vent.

Her childhood was very monotonous, and the closest people except Ji's mother were her sisters.

Until one day, my aunt appeared, and she liked her hard-working, studious, and lovely sister very much, and went through the adoption procedures. At the time she was still a slug and was not favored.

In the end, it was at her sister's insistence that her aunt adopted her.

It's basically the same as a giveaway.

My aunt was very kind. It's good to them, even if it's because of work. I don't go home much. But for the two sisters, they love them very much, study, eat, and dress, and never treat them badly. They are also very sensible. I have been studying very hard, and I hope to repay my aunt and Ji's mother when I grow up in the future.

Seeing that my sister is about to graduate from college, I am full of ambition to help my aunt solve her problems. And her studies are better than her sister, she took the high school entrance examination in the second year of junior high school this year, and obtained a high score and obtained the qualification to enter a key middle school.

My aunt, who has been getting busier and busier lately, is very happy and will allow the two sisters to travel.

Now, however, but embarked on the road of death.

Aunt and Mother Ji are not her biological mothers, but they are better than her biological mothers. Sister Ji Ningzhi is not her own sister. But in her mind, she is more important than her sister.

No!

I can't give up like that.

Stubbornness and persistence welled up in her heart.

She hasn't repaid all the people who care for her, how can she be qualified to die like this.

She was frightened just now, and she didn't have any idea at all. But now the strong survival ** came up, making her force herself to calm down.

First of all, I carefully looked at the surrounding environment, the triangular gas storage space, and the door was blocked by the wardrobe. Two open aluminium frames on the back wall.

The only way to escape is through the window in front.

The beds in the room were all damaged, blocking the road. Ji's first task is to remove obstacles. She learned to swim with her sister, but she was not proficient, so she had to bite the bullet.

I scooped up a soaked T-shirt, passed it under my sister's armpit, and tied it to the aluminum stubble so that my sister could keep breathing.

She took a deep breath and dived underwater, ready to clear the obstacles.

But her strength was too small, and her breath-holding skills were very poor, and in less than twenty seconds, she suddenly burst out of the water and coughed violently.

After a few breaths, she gritted her teeth and plunged into the water again, moving the bed frame vigorously until her face was red and her ears were buzzing, and she barely moved two or three centimeters.

This is already the limit of her physical strength.

She suddenly realized that she was too weak, too weak to do anything.

"Sister......

She cried again, wiped her snot and tears, and said, "I'm so useless, I'm so useless!"

After crying for a while, she felt a little out of breath, as the oxygen began to thin out, and there was not much time left for her.

Death beckoned to her.

What to do?

Ji still dived into the water again in vain, although she knew that even if she moved the obstacle, it would be impossible to swim ashore with her sister.

Just as she was about to give up, her hand touched something.

Cell phone!

A mobile phone placed on the bed.

Ji Yi's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly picked it up and surfaced, and pressed the unlock button. However, the mobile phone screen was pitch black, apparently due to water ingress, which caused the mobile phone to short circuit.

She pressed the unlock like crazy, and finally pulled out the battery, shook the water vigorously, and then put the battery in and turned it on.

"Turn it on for me, turn it on for me!"

After three or four times, the phone screen miraculously flashed, showing a boot screen.

Ji Zhen's heart was full of ecstasy, and then he was desperate to find that the touch seemed to be out of order, and after fiddling with it for a long time, he finally connected to the number he had just dialed.

Lu Zheng.

"Answer the phone, answer the phone!"

A few seconds is as long as a century.

"Hey, ...... ran"

"Lu Zheng, save us, save us, the boat capsized...... We ......"

The phone screen flickered twice, and it turned black again, and no matter how hard she tried, no miracle happened.

The last bit of hope was dashed.

Ji Yi's face was full of miserable smiles, hugged his sister tightly, and murmured: "Sister, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have pulled you out to play." Woowoo...... I'm a bastard!Big bastard!Sister, hit me, beat me!" (To be continued) Gentleman Juyitang is in charge of the Dragon Palace
