Chapter 4: The Ugliness of Human Nature

Bang......

The thunder was rolling and the wind was getting stronger.

Opinions were mixed, and it was suggested that the ship should be stopped for inspection immediately, but the plan was immediately rejected by the manager.

The reason is simple, the rainstorm is coming, and the risk of stopping the ship is too high, and he can't gamble with everyone's lives.

But there are also people who ask to save people, especially Zhou Shucheng, his opinion is to stop the boat immediately and go down to save people, no matter what, he has to search for it, but it is really impossible to make plans again.

Many people agree with this plan, and they have to look for it anyway, and they can't just walk away.

The manager snorted coldly and said, "I can stop the boat, but I want to remind you that the storm is coming, if something happens, who will be responsible?" ”

"Let's go, let's go!"

The three aunts of the tour group immediately responded, and their words were very intense.

Whoever opposes scolds him.

"What does it have to do with us that she fell by herself, to save you, we have to go!"

Many people stopped talking, but in fact, everyone thought the same.

What is the relationship between Zhu Xiaowen and them?

Never mind.

That being the case, why risk it for the sake of strangers?

"I'm in charge!" Zhou Shucheng stood up again and said loudly: "I have been in the navy, I don't know how many times I have run on this line, the storm is terrible, but the tonnage of our ship is large enough to withstand the storm, at least we haven't seen the corpse yet, what is the difference between giving up on her like this and intentional homicide?" ”

"I think the old gentleman is right, since it's going to rain heavily, then just don't leave."

There were also people in the crowd who responded to Zhou Shucheng.

The aunts quit and accused Zhou Shucheng one after another, and the words were very ugly, but they were all nonsense, and they couldn't find any reason to refute it.

The supporters immediately quarreled with the aunts.

For a moment there was chaos on the deck.

"That's it!"

An angry roar sounded, and a middle-aged man with a ponytail walked out, with a golden Buddha hanging around his neck, and his momentum was overwhelming, and he stopped everyone with one sentence.

Mawei glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "There will be no result if the quarrel continues like this, I think so, we will raise our hands to vote, and those who are willing to stay and die will raise their hands." ”

"Who are you? Are you responsible for what you say? On what basis do you decide the life and death of others? "Objections have been raised.

Ma Wei glanced at the man and said: "My name is Chen Yaodong, I am responsible for what I say, what I decide is not the life and death of others, but my own life and death, and I agree to raise my hand to stay!" ”

Zhou Shucheng immediately raised his hand.

Someone in the crowd wanted to raise their hand, but was immediately pushed down by the people around them.

Hao Wei raised his hand and looked around, and wherever his gaze passed, he either quickly turned his head to dodge, or his face was indifferent.

Everyone is a passer-by who doesn't know each other, and no one will joke with their lives.

Seeing this, Hao Wei knelt on the deck.

"Please, please save my girlfriend, please, I beg you......" Hao Wei kowtowed vigorously, kept crying and begging, tears wet his face, it looked so pitiful.

Yet no one raised their hand.

Hao Wei looked at Chen Yaodong again, and pleaded: "Big brother, I beg you to be okay, as long as you can save my girlfriend, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”

Chen Yaodong said impatiently: "Brother, it's not that we don't save your girlfriend, you said it yourself, how can you let us save it in such weather?" How sure are you? If she was still alive, she would have called for help a long time ago, right? Now there is no sound, which means that she is dead, do you see those sharks? They're just here to eat people, and we're not ruthless people, and we can't help it, this storm is coming soon, you can't let all of us be buried with you because your girlfriend is alone, right? ”

The scene was deadly quiet.

Everyone was silent, and if there was no storm, everything could have been saved, but when the storm came, everything changed.

The world should never bet hope on a stranger, because no one is obligated to help you for no reason.

Tong Fei wanted to step forward to stop him, but was pulled by Li Chaoyang.

"What for?" Tong Fei looked at Li Chaoyang with an angry expression.

Li Chaoyang did not answer her question directly, but said: "You can't do anything alone, what if they collectively oppose you?" Will it be done to you? Don't forget, you're only one person, and the crew is in control of the ship, so it's a complete formality to discuss with everyone at this time, and they've already planned what to do. ”

Tong Fei simply ignored Li Chaoyang's words and strode out.

"I think we should figure out how to do it, we can't just go away." Tong Fei said loudly.

"Yes, I agree with the little girl." Zhou Shucheng also stood up, "She's not afraid of a girl, what am I afraid of?" ”

A few more people stepped forward, and the crowd responded.

Hao Wei cried with joy and bowed again and again to thank him.

The manager snorted coldly and said: "Yes, I have no objection to you saving people, then in this way, I will give you a lifeboat, and if you are willing to save people, you will stay, I must drive away from the cruise, I must be responsible for the safety of others, and you will write an agreement before you go down, saying that everything is voluntary for you, if anything happens to us, are you willing?" ”

The crowd, which had been a little commotion just a moment ago, fell silent again.

"I'm sorry, brother, I have to accompany my child, sorry......" A tall man beside Hao Wei quickly returned to the crowd.

One and another.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhou Shucheng, Tong Fei and Hao Wei were left.

Tong Fei's expression was ugly, she didn't know what to say, she didn't understand how these people could be so cold.

Li Chaoyang smiled helplessly, Tong Fei was still too young, she underestimated the ugliness of human nature too much.

"Okay, you write a letter of guarantee, in this way, I'll record it for you, you say." As he spoke, the manager took out his mobile phone and pointed it at Hao Wei, "You come first, you say that everything is your own volition, and it has nothing to do with us, if something happens, you will bear all the consequences." ”

Facing the camera, Hao Wei's lips shook, his whole body trembled involuntarily, and his teary eyes couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Count...... Forget it, I'm ...... I won't save ......" Hao Wei suddenly cried.

He cried and walked out into the crowd, and returned to the cabin under the gaze of everyone, the back of which was so bleak.

Hao Wei was completely desperate and gave up the last struggle.

"Alright, everyone go back to their rooms, don't come out again tonight." The manager made the final decision on the argument.

The crowd was quiet and eerie, and no one spoke except the manager's voice.

Zhou Shucheng wanted to say something, but his wife stepped forward and dragged him away, even if he wanted to save people, but at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything.

Tong Fei looked back unwillingly, her heart was mixed, and she was unspeakably uncomfortable.

Once all the passengers returned to their rooms, the door was securely shut.

Less than an hour later, there was a strong wind and torrential rain outside.

Thunder pierced the night sky and illuminated the sea, and huge waves hit the cruise ship unscrupulously, and the huge cruise ship began to shake violently.

There was no fixed candlestick and the mirror fell all over the place.

Li Chaoyang glanced out through the window, but he couldn't see anything but the dark sea, and the torrential rain completely blurred his vision, crackling and crackling.

At this time, there was a knock on Li Chaoyang's door, and the voice was very urgent.

Li Chaoyang ran over and opened the door, Han Xue threw herself into his arms, her frightened little face turned pale and her whole body trembled.

Such a situation is indeed a little scary for a woman.

Li Chaoyang hurriedly reassured her not to panic, and at the same time put a blanket on her.

The cruise ship is shaking more and more, bumpy and undulating, like a flat boat in the sea.

The child in the next room was crying in fright, and from time to time there was a man's cursing voice.

Han Xue's body was very soft and exuded a faint fragrance, and it took a long time before she calmed down.

"Are we going to die?" Han Xue curled up in Li Chaoyang's arms and asked in a low voice.

"No, this storm can't overturn a cruise ship."

Li Chaoyang said this on his lips, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart, Zhou Shucheng said that there was a problem with the power of this ship, and if there was a breakdown at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable if the storm area could not be used.

So he didn't dare to close his eyes at this moment.

"Boom!"

There was another thunderous explosion, Han Xue shuddered with fright, and her hands climbed on Li Chaoyang's arms, and the whole person was completely attached to Li Chaoyang's body, and Li Chaoyang could clearly feel her breathing.

The familiar feeling back then is back, he has been single all these years since he broke up with Han Xue, in fact, there is no shortage of excellent women around him, but no one can pretend to be in his heart, he is like a snail, he has always hidden his weakness in a hard shell, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to communicate with others, and he has long been used to living alone.

The past came to mind, and Li Chaoyang remembered the bits and pieces of him and Han Xue.

If it weren't for Han Xue's parents' opposition, they might really get married.

But it's all gone, and there's never a going back.

"But we killed that woman, we're murderers, aren't we?" Han Xue asked again.

Li Chaoyang didn't know how to answer, in a sense, they were murderers, everyone on this ship was a murderer, and Zhu Xiaowen's life and death were uncertain, so they gave up the rescue and ran away.

Falling from such a high place and encountering a storm again, the possibility of Zhu Xiaowen's survival is almost zero.

It was Li Chaoyang who killed her.

Although the manager repeatedly said that the storm was coming, everyone knew in their hearts that there was still time for search and rescue, but no one wanted to risk it.

They have to choose between their own lives and the lives of others.

Human nature is like the sun, behind the brilliance is always endless darkness.

When Zhu Xiaowen died, everyone could only sigh, and the only one who was really sad was Hao Wei.

Li Chaoyang's face appeared in his mind again, he didn't understand, why Hao Wei was evasive at first, and then desperately begged everyone, what was going on between him and Zhu Xiaowen?
