The angle of inclination became larger and larger, and the human beings seemed to be small ants compared to the huge hull, and the deck was full of untenable people, screaming and sliding quickly from Liao Wanyu, she wanted to reach out and reach out to grab a mother holding a baby, but in the end she was only able to catch the infant baby thrown over.
There was an extra baby in her hand who was crying because she was frightened, and Liao Wanyu could only use one arm to encircle the staircase pillar with all her strength for a while.
She didn't want to die here, she still had her brother, and she still had a wish to be gone. Now there is a baby in her arms, and that is a mother's last hope, she wants to live, and she wants to live with this baby.
Liao Wanyu gritted her teeth, she felt that it was not a way to go on like this, the hull of the boat was still slowly tilting, and if she continued to maintain this position, her arms would always be exhausted, and when she and the child in her arms would not be able to escape the end of falling down.
She looked around in a panic, and found that just under another building not far from her, a man had turned over and climbed onto the pillar, and his limbs were lying on the pillar, facing down, so that even if the ship continued to tilt, even if the ship stood upright, he was already in the upper hand.
Just when Liao Wanyu also wanted to change her posture, the slowly tilting hull of the boat suddenly stopped.
This stillness makes her frightened, like the quietest and most beautiful morning before a storm, and you seem to be full of hope, but in fact, bigger problems will follow.
Sure enough, after a few moments, she heard something creaking nearby, and people didn't seem to notice, desperately adjusting their positions to prevent falling into the sea.
Liao Wanyu looked around at the baby in her arms, her inner uneasiness and panic were forced to suppress by this sudden responsibility, she wanted to know what was going on, she wanted to try to avoid the mortal danger for herself and the child.
It was too noisy, too chaotic, everything was frightened and disorderly, and Liao Wanyu had no way to clearly distinguish the source of the sound from the screaming and cries and the huge sound of the sea breeze, or or, the entire hull was making a noise, and it was impossible to tell the difference.
After about ten minutes of such a stillness, just when everyone began to think that the huge hull was not moving, suddenly there was a loud noise, and the chimney broke and smashed, and it smashed down quickly.
The hull of the ship was split in two.
Liao Wanyu was above the hull of the boat, and the broken hull smashed into the sea, she didn't let go, and the whole person was taken into the sea with the baby in her arms.
Luzhou is a coastal city, although Liao Wanyu is a girl, but the water is not bad, she took a deep breath before being submerged, the only thing she was worried about was whether the baby in her arms could survive safely.
Due to the continuous sinking of the huge hull, the flow of the sea water is always downward, Liao Wanyu let go of her hand and desperately went upstream, but she was not close to the sea.
The child in her arms will not hold her breath, it is conceivable that she has been choking on water, she must surface as soon as possible, otherwise even if she can endure it, the child will definitely not be able to.
She didn't know how long she had been struggling to swim in the water, she felt that her eyes were black, as if she was going to faint in the next second, but her mind flashed her brother's crying face, and she was awake again.
The moment she came out of the water, she subconsciously breathed heavily, and then reacted that there was a baby in her arms, so she hurriedly lifted the child out of the water.
The small quilt full of water was extremely heavy at this time, and Liao Wanyu was already extremely tired, and it was impossible to hold the child for a long time.
There were many scattered and damaged objects floating on the sea, but most of them were bodies that had been drowned or stoned to death.
If she had seen so many corpses in the past, she would have screamed, but now she was too busy to take care of herself, and all she could do was save her life with what could save her life in her eyes and heart.
There are lifebuoys, which are thrown on the surface by the crew from the very beginning in case of emergency, and some first-class passengers who arrive early even wear life jackets.
As a result, the people who are still alive at the moment began to desperately try to grab the life jackets and lifebuoys on the dead, and in the end, those who wear life jackets and lifebuoys will inevitably be robbed even if they are alive.
Liao Wanyu didn't plan to rob it, she couldn't kill others for her own life, besides, she wasn't a fool, not to mention that she had a baby in her arms now, even if she didn't, she was by no means the opponent of those men.
Compared with the life-saving artifacts left on the ship, she was more optimistic about the wooden slabs or wooden boxes not far away. Liao Wanyu changed her position, lay on her back on the water, held the baby face up with one hand on her chest, and swam towards the nearby plank little by little.
The child was squared on the plank by her, which was not known what it was originally made The plank was not large, but it was more than enough to accommodate a baby.
The child's face was not good, and there was almost no snort, but Liao Wanyu didn't have any medical knowledge and didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only push the plank and swim far away, leaving the hull of the ship that had not completely sunk into the water.
Not far away, there were two lifeboats buckled on the water, which were taken by the first-class passengers who had boarded the ship before, but because they did not have time to lower to the water, it is impossible to know whether the distinguished guests who were originally sitting on them were alive or dead.
She didn't dare to swim to the lifeboat that was a little closer to her, and now there were many people on the water who were desperate for lifebuoys and life jackets, and even if she turned the lifeboat over at this moment, she might not be able to become a passenger on it.
Besides, she didn't have the strength anymore.
The child was still motionless, Liao Wanyu was stepping on the water with both legs, and at the same time propped her arms on the wooden plank, although the weather was not cold now, it was still very cold.
Unfortunately, the plank was still too small after all, and as long as she tried to climb up, the plank was already unbearable.
Now that she can't go up, she no longer struggles, so she soaks in the sea and begins to confirm the child's condition. She opened the small quilt that was already soaked, and the child wrapped in the quilt did not react at all, Liao Wanyu was at a loss and didn't know what to do, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Didn't she protect him? Would she have been able to keep him if she had swam a little harder to the surface just now?
Liao Wanyu obviously hadn't seen the child's mother's face clearly at all, but at this moment, a strange woman's face appeared in her mind.
That's his mother, right? If she was still alive, would she fight for her own life to protect this child?
The hope that had supported her before seemed to be shattered all at once, and she cried in the middle of the boundless sea, in the tragedy of hurting each other for survival, and in front of the baby in front of her, who had no longer breathing.
But even her voice was hoarse, and her voice had already burst in the previous scream.
"Child, how is your child still alive?"
Liao Wanyu wiped away a handful of tears, stepped on the water and turned around to look, and a strange woman was swimming towards her two meters away.
The woman was in her thirties, she was a Chinese national, she was holding a wooden board in her hand, she looked very embarrassed, swam to Liao Wanyu's side and stopped, relying on the buoyancy of the wooden board, and began to check the child's condition.
"Please...... Save him...... Save him. Liao Wanyu cried too much before, she couldn't stop it all of a sudden, she sobbed and choked, and her words were intermittent.
"Is it your child?" She saw that the little girl was not very old.
"Yes, yes, yes." Liao Wanyu said three yes in a row, for fear that the woman would not help her.
This woman actually doesn't know much about medical care, but she is a mother of two children, and she always has more experience with children than Liao Wanyu.
She grabbed the child's feet and lifted them upside down with great difficulty, patting him on the back and then clenching her hands into fists to press his stomach. He was well protected by Liao Wanyu, and he didn't even have any injuries on his head and face, if there was a problem, he must be choking.
The effect of the local method is still very good, Liao Wanyu saw that water was flowing out of the child's mouth and nose, and she felt that she was trembling. Not because of the frozen seawater, but because of this little life in front of me, maybe it can be saved.
From the moment she caught him in mid-air, Liao Wanyu was destined to have an entangled cause between him and him.
She wanted him to live and grow up safely, so she could tell him how brave and great his mother was.
Even if the danger comes, even if you already know that you can't escape, you will do your best to bring even a glimmer of hope to your child.
She never thought that the baby's crying was such a beautiful sound, and when someone was fighting for a life jacket more than ten meters away, the baby's cry seemed to touch everyone.
For a moment, everyone stopped, they all looked at this side, although they soon re-engaged in the battle of life and death, but Liao Wanyu believed that every cry of the baby in front of her would remind her all the time not to give up hope.
Don't give up hope, even if it's just a glimmer of hope.
"It's not going to work, we need to find something that can carry our weight, it's always in the water, and soon it's going to run out of energy."
Liao Wanyu nodded in agreement, entrusted the child to the woman, and slowly swam into the distance by herself, starting to look for a larger plank.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her right leg, and then her whole body began to sink into the water. The cramped right leg could no longer tread water, and Liao Wanyu panicked in the water.
She curled up and rubbed her calves in the water, a position that made her sink continuously, but the pain in her legs did not lessen at all.
Is she going to die?
She's going to die, right?
Just today, in this sea, she is, going to die, right?
