Situ Nan sat on the bow of the boat, and the people who fell into the water at a distance of about three or four hundred meters were still struggling, and there were tragic cries for help from time to time on the dark sea. (The fastest update speed is in the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network) and these traffic boats can only hide in the dark corners, silently listening to the gradual weakening or even disappearance of these sounds.

Now that the Titanic has sunk for more than 20 minutes, such icy sea water is enough for a strong man to freeze completely in 3 minutes, and 20 minutes is enough for him to die several times.

"It's almost time, and if it's too late, there won't be any left!" Situ Nan thought to himself, so he stood up and said, "The people on the boat will immediately move to the boat next door, and we will go back to save people." Come on! Situ Nan waved a flashlight.

Finally vacated a boat, Situ Nan and the others immediately paddled back to the sea where the Titanic sank.

The surrounding sea was dead silent, and with the light of Ji Huang's flashlight, Situ Nan saw a floating corpse on the sea! The deceased's face was blue, and the droplets of water in his hair had condensed into frost, and he floated motionless on the sea. Situ Nan's head couldn't help but tingle! Did I really come back too late?

"Is there anyone else?" Situ Nan kept shouting, while sweeping the sea with a flashlight, "Look carefully!" Situ Nan told the ship's sailors.

In the dimness, Situ Nan saw something moving on the sea in front of him, so he shone it with a flashlight, and a man like a popsicle floated on the sea holding a plank, looking at the light, stretched out his hand with difficulty, his mouth moved, and he couldn't make a sound.

"There, quick!" Situ Nan shouted in surprise.

After a while, the sailor finally pulled the frozen man up.

"Feed this to him!" Situ Nan took out the bottle of whiskey from his pocket and said to the sailors on the ship.

Unexpectedly, Situ Nan still had a bottle of whisky in good condition at this moment, and the sailor holding the bottle looked at Situ Nan in surprise. "Now that they've all fled, I didn't expect this guy to have whiskey." The sailor thought to himself as he poured a sip of wine from the man he had just caught.

Being able to save a survivor was a great encouragement to Situ Nan and them. One after another, they saved eight more people, all of whom looked like strong men, maybe so they could survive a little longer. The women who fell into the water are all dead, and there is a woman who was holding a baby before she died, this Situ Nan's heart ached, and the excitement of saving a few people just now disappeared all at once.

"Look for it, look for it carefully!" Situ Nan hopes to find more people who are still alive, and as time passes, the more unlikely the hope of survival becomes.

Situ Nan suddenly saw the light of a flashlight shining in front of him, so he shone in front, and it was also a ship that turned back to rescue. Situ Nan let the traffic boat row over while searching and rescuing, and it turned out that the second mate Wallace brought two sailors to search and rescue from the other side.

"How's it going, Stoney?" Wallace asked heavily.

"It's all here, we're too late!" Situ Nan shone a flashlight on the nine survivors in the cabin and said regretfully.

"Let's split up and look for it! Your side, my side. Wallace said.

"Anyone else? Anyone else? "The hard shouts of the sailors resounded at sea, and they were nearing their last effort.

It's been so long, with such a cold water temperature, the heat of the human body is quickly taken away by the cold seawater, and the more than 1,000 people who fell into the water should have frozen to death! It's a miracle to be able to find one now.

The boat rowed a long way, but all it encountered were white floating corpses. No matter how Situ Nan shouted, there was no response on the sea, only the whirring wind and waves. Situ Nan's throat was hoarse, and he looked back, except for the two who went up later, they didn't find a single survivor after separating from Wallace.

It's eleven in total! Of the more than 1,000 people who can fall into the water, only eleven have been found! They have done their best.

After a moment of understanding with the two sailors on the boat, Situ Nan was about to turn around and return to sail when a rapid whistle suddenly sounded on the sea in front of him!

"There are still people, turn around!" Situ Nan shouted excitedly.

Following the direction of the flashlight, Situ Nan saw Rose lying on a wooden board, her face was pale, with a whistle in her mouth, blowing desperately, the loud whistle was like an unwilling cry of life, straight through the soul!

Situ Nan swept around with a flashlight, but found no Jack.

“i’msorry。 I didn't save Jack. Situ Nan handed Rose the remaining bit of whiskey.

"We're back too late!" Although he did not admit it, Situ Nan felt that he was a selfish person, and although he reasonably got on the traffic boat, it did not mean that he could calmly choose to die in the sea.

The merciless Atlantic buried him, not only Jack, Mu, Captain Smith, Tommy Leo, Fabry, Andrew, but also the remaining more than a thousand innocent lives. In the dark waters, there is not only natural ruthlessness, but also human tolerance and selfishness, and the crew of more than 100 mechanical groups persevered until the end, but there were also many third-class passengers who were locked in the staircase door and drowned alive in their rooms.

Looking up at the starless sky of the Atlantic Ocean, Situ Nan felt a burst of pathos, and couldn't help but sing the sad and touching song "My Heart is Eternal".

“everyinmydream,iseeyouifeelyou,there’s

howiknowyougoon.oncemoreyouopenthedoor,andyou’rehereinmyheart

,myheartwillgoonandon······”

The poignant and lingering singing lingers on the Atlantic, and for Situ Nan, although it has nothing to do with love, there are some things in his heart that can never be erased.

"What's the name of this song?" Rose asked suddenly.

“myheartwillgoon!” Situ Nan said.

After the sinking of the Titanic, only two of the 20 transport boats turned back and rescued 19 people. This is a little better than the original history of only one traffic boat turned back, and only 6 people were raised.

When he returned, Wallace gathered the contact boats, four on his side, and four on Situ Nan's side, eight on one side, and the other 12 were out of touch.

Everyone waited quietly together, sitting on the boat and waiting for the rescue ship to arrive.

After some tossing, Situ Nan felt exhausted, as if all his strength had been withdrawn at once.

Remembering that there was still a piece of beef hidden in the coat, Situ Nan took out a bite and saw a little girl on the boat looking at him, although the cold wind was not as tight as his mother's back, but the snot on his delicate face remained.

Situ Nan felt embarrassed, smiled, and had to give the rest of the beef to the little girl.

Sleepy and hungry, he finally survived the long wait, and suddenly there was a shout, accompanied by the faint morning light of dawn, the long-awaited rescue boat finally arrived, and the people on the traffic boat were finally saved.

That's the Karpathia!

People shouted with all their might, with a kind of cathartic cry for the aftermath of the catastrophe. At eight o'clock, as the last transport boat was pulled up, only 786 of the 2,208 crew members and passengers on the Tannic survived, which was 81 more than the original history of only 705 people, and this result made Situ Nan feel a little comforted. Although he did not change the fate of the Titanic, his appearance allowed 81 more people to survive. The captain and priest of the Carpathia presided over a memorial service in the large dining room. God did not save the Titanic, disaster is coming, and mankind can only save itself! In the silent mourning, Situ Nan thought of Mu again, and silently thanked him in his heart. At 8:50, we turned around and headed back to New York.

Frustratingly, on the Carpathia, there is also a hierarchy of passengers who escape. First-class passengers were accommodated in warm and comfortable rooms with warm coffee and food, while third-class passengers were placed on deck.

In the morning, after Situ Nan finished eating in the dining room, he was arranged to go to the crew room to rest. Situ Nan had no intention of sleeping, so he went to the deck for a stroll. Situ Nan saw the second mate Wallace standing quietly at the stern of the ship, looking to the east, which was the direction of the sinking of the Titanic.

"Hey." Situ Nan walked over, looking at Wallace's straight figure, he couldn't help but think of Mu, who was also an excellent crew member. Every time I stand on the boat and look out, I am always so focused.

"Hello, Stoney." Wallace replied. "You're doing a good job this time! Saved a lot of people. You know? I listened to what you said to Mu that day, you are right, if the Titanic crashes directly into the iceberg, it may ······"

Wallace's words surprised Situ Nan, who did not expect that the dispute with Mu that afternoon would be heard by him. But this is all in the past, the Titanic sank, and Mu also died, so there is no point in saying this now. Silent.

"What are you going to do in the future? After this time, I'm not going to be a crew member anymore. Situ Nan said.

In the past, for the sake of Mu's face, Wallace took some care of Situ Nan, so Situ Nan had a good relationship with Wallace.

"I'm still doing this, I want to be a good captain! Get my passengers safely to their destination. Wallace said firmly.

"Oh! I think you'll be! Situ Nan said, "Oh, by the way, I want to ask you for one thing, I plan to stay in the United States after I go ashore." Mu's house, you know, please send this to Mary. I'll take him back when I'm settled. Situ Nan handed over the money Mu gave to Wallace when he was leaving, there are thousands of dollars here, plus Mu's settling-in expenses, it should be enough for Mu's wife and children to live for several years, Situ Nan believes that Wallace can do this, he and Mu are good friends.

"Okay." Wallace Road.

On the third-class deck, Situ Nan met Hawke, who was looking for something. His clothes were cut out, and he looked a little wolfy. Situ Nan didn't expect this guy to be alive, he was so lucky.

“hello！ Mr. Hawke. Situ Nan said.

“hello。 Mr. William. "Situ Nan's English name is Stoney William. Finally got the honorific title of Mr. Hawke.

"Have you seen my fiancée, Rose?" Hawke asked.

"I'm sorry, no! If I see it, I will sue you! Situ Nan said with a sincere face.

So you're looking for Rose, I really don't know if you're looking for someone or a diamond? It's a pity that you can't find the diamond, and I won't sue you, so die of this heart! Situ Nan thought maliciously in his heart.

"Oh." Hawke didn't say anything, turned and went up the stairs to leave.

After Hawke walked away, Situ Nan said to a woman in a headscarf next to him, "He's gone!" ”

Rose turned her head, her face looking haggard, adding a kind of delicate beauty! Even so, she is not Situ Nan's favorite type, not to mention that Situ Nan thinks that she belongs to Jack, and no one can snatch it away!

"Thank you, Stoney!" Rose said.

Situ Nan smiled and didn't say anything, the two of them looked at the sea silently until they were sleepy, Situ Nan went back to sleep, and he didn't wake up until midnight when he fell asleep.

On April 18, the Karpathia arrived in New York Harbor. As you pass by the Statue of Liberty, tens of thousands of people watch from the Batary Coast on Manhattan Island. At Pier 54, about 30,000 people stood in the rain to silently greet the survivors of the Titanic. The news of the sinking of the Titanic shocked the entire Western world. At that time, people's shock was no less than the 9/11 incident in the United States in Situ Nan's previous life. Flags were lowered at half-mast in many places on both sides of the Atlantic. King George V of the United Kingdom and President Taft of the United States exchanged messages of condolence. Kaiser Wilhelm II also sent a telegram of condolence.

But these have nothing to do with Situ Nan, looking up at the tall Statue of Liberty, I saw that she was holding the Code of the Declaration of Independence in her left hand and a torch in her right hand, which seemed to illuminate the world with the light of freedom! Situ Nan felt a new force, giving people hope and freedom.

"Oh! Mr. William! It's you! You're not dead! I found you! With an exclamation, a figure threw himself into Situ Nan's arms.

It turned out to be Laura! Situ Nan was also surprised to see Laura, and never thought of seeing this woman who discussed music with him after the Titanic separated.

"Mm-hmm" hugged for a long time, Situ Nan was a little embarrassed, and motioned for Laura to come down. After all, he is a Chinese soul and a bit conservative in his thinking.

"Oh!" Laura stuck out her tongue a little playfully, a little shy.

"Miss, it's time to go back." It was a man dressed as a servant who came up and said that he had come to pick up Laura.

"Wait a minute, I'll say goodbye." Laura said.

"Mr. William, it's time for me to go! Here's my phone number, remember you owe me a song, you must find me! Laura wrote a note for Situ Nan, and finally got into a luxurious car and left.

"Be sure to look for me!" Laura said as she poked her head out of the window.

"I will!" Situ Nan waved his hand vigorously. In fact, this girl has a good impression of herself, but unfortunately the two identities are too far apart, Laura is sitting in a luxurious car, and Situ Nan doesn't know where to land tonight?

Think of it as a good memory! Situ Nan dropped the note in his hand in the wind and walked forward blankly. For this world, Situ Nan is just a butterfly that inadvertently broke in, with no roots, no bottom, no past of his own, only a blank present and an uncertain future.
