Chapter 25: The Final Performance
It was quiet in first class at this time.
These nobles, soaked in fine wine, could hardly detect the movement of the ship from the high-class living rooms.
Some were just waiters who had received news from the crew, roaming the corridors of the cabins, knocking on the doors of the suites, waking up the sleeping people, and handing out life jackets to them.
From the mouth of a waiter, Chen Ze easily learned about Ismay's room.
He walked to the end of the hallway, confirmed the room number, reached out and knocked on it, but there was no response after more than ten seconds.
Boom!
Finding that there was no movement, Chen Ze directly raised his leg and violently kicked the door open.
Upon entering, he found that the room was empty, and it seemed that Ismay had not returned to the room, which frustrated his plans a little.
To stop Ismay from getting into the lifeboat, he originally thought of tying Ismay in the room and sealing his mouth.
If you're in a crowd, it's not easy.
First Class Ballroom.
Many passengers had been woken up and gathered in the hall.
It's just that at this time, they haven't realized the fact that the Titanic is about to sink, and they are chatting as usual.
In the center of the crowd, the band was dutifully playing music, and the nobles were enjoying the music and sipping fine wine.
Chen Ze, who walked into the banquet hall, swept past the band in the venue, retracted his gaze, and continued to look for Ismay's traces.
At this time, the Titanic already had a noticeable inclination.
With the lifeboat groundwater, the crowd aware of the problem began to rush in the direction of the lifeboat often.
When it was learned that only women and children were allowed on board, chaos erupted on the side of the ship, and the crowd became more and more crowded.
In this situation, Chen Ze saw the trace of Ismay, who was searching back and forth on the deck of the corridor, as if trying to find a lifeboat that could go up.
Pushing aside the crowd, Chen Ze chased after him directly, watching East cross the deck, and he also followed behind him.
When the number of people around him became smaller, Chen Ze patted him on the shoulder from behind.
Isme's body trembled, and when she turned around and saw Chen Ze's face, she let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time showed a look of disgust.
"What do you want to do with this yellow-skinned monkey!"
As the words fell, a baton snapped over Ismay's head, and his whole body went soft like mud.
Taking advantage of the chaos around him, Chen Ze grabbed Isme's clothes and dragged him into an open room.
The room was extremely messy, with things scattered everywhere.
In the closet, Chen Ze took out the shirt in it, tied Ismay's hands behind his back, made him unable to move, and stuffed a towel into Ismay's mouth by the way.
After going out, Chen Ze said that the door was locked again, and the key was broken.
He didn't believe it, just like that, he could still let the other party escape and take the opportunity to escape.
An hour passed.
When Chen Ze left the room, the angle of the Titanic tilted even more seriously.
The bow of the previous ship was lowered, and it was already approaching the level of the ocean, and a patch of icy water rushed to the deck ahead.
The band played earnestly on the deck, their attentive expression giving the impression that they were not on the deck of a sinking ship, but on the other side of the ocean, in the Vienna Konzerthaus.
Every note, every beat is extremely accurate.
People's panic contrasts sharply with their focus.
If it weren't for a man who ran over and bumped the violinist's arm in a hurry, the piece would have played to the last noteβ
"What's the use? No one listened to us. The violinist sighed and stopped playing.
There was a lot of noise all around.
Chen Ze, who was in the crowd, finally arrived on the deck.
At this time, he heard the sigh of the violinist, and immediately stepped forward and smiled slightly, "Can I be your last listener?" β
Several people in the band were stunned, but Chen Ze's composure in the face of danger also infected them, and Harry among them smiled indifferently: "No one listens to it in the restaurant, now that there are listeners, let's pull it, so that it can be warmer and play "Orpheus"!" β
With a pull of the wrists, a fast-paced piece of music flutters across their strings.
Occasionally, people would run by, take a curious look at the musicians who were still concentrating on their performances, and turn their heads and jump into the tide of survival.
On the deck, the band played earnestly.
Trying to calm the panicked crowd with the purest notes.
It's just that people are shuttling around them, running for their lives, not caring about the violinist's voice at all.
But they continued their profession meticulously.
Until the hull tilted, and the sea water flooded the cockpit.
At the same time the last faint charm flew over Werner's strings, and he took the violin satisfied.
In the face of the fleeing crowd, the band played the last tune.
The beautiful tune flows across the deck, over the sea, and in the quiet of the night, and when the notes stop, there is an ocean in front of you......
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to be with you tonight."
Werner calmly thanked his collaborators, and some turned his gaze to the unfamiliar Oriental youth, "Thank you for listening!" So now I wish you all the best of luck. β
"Goodbye, Harry, good luck with you, too."
"Goodbye, Werner."
"Goodbye!"
At this time, the sea water no longer has the gentleness it once saw, but swept in with a hideous face, and the white foam stirred up is like the saliva of a madman, which looks terrifying......
in the hall.
After the rushing sea swept away a few people who had not had time to dodge on the lower floor, it filled all the space downstairs in an instant, and then rushed up the stairs to the upper floor.
People scattered and fled, and the sea followed closely behind, like a deadly spirit......
Chen Ze looked at the surging sea water outside the wheelhouse window, he didn't move and no one listened to his command, and the swarming rushed up, surrounding the boat.
At this time, the wish task has been completed, and it is time for Chen Ze to leave.
The hint that the VIP wish mission was completed had not appeared for a long time, and he could only guess.
Maybe wait until the waves are over, but the rough waters now make him understand that he can't just wait in place.
The Titanic, the distance from the seabed has been shortened.
At this moment, the bow deck was completely submerged, and even the cockpit that wore through the bow had long since ceased to exist.
The sea water that poured into the bottom compartment of the bow turned into a huge force and pulled the front half of the hull into the water, and the tail began to rise high, and the slope of the corridor became more and more difficult to stand.
And the only way to move forward was to hold on to the railing at the edge, and at this time the second-class and third-class cabins below were all submerged in the surging water.
The space of the hall is still a battlefield raging in the sea, roaring wildly.
Countless crowds, as the bow of the ship sank in, began to run towards the back half of the ship, and on the way, some people who fell into the sea without missing their hands.
At this time, the temperature in the sea, deep into it, the heat of the body is lost to a terrifying speed, and in just ten or twenty minutes, people may be frozen to death.
"Why isn't it done yet?"
Chen Ze walked backwards along the crowd, his wrist resting on the edge, clutching what he could grasp.
He didn't understand.
As long as the VIP audience's wish mission is completed, he can escape from this hell on earth at any time, otherwise, I am afraid that even he will be in danger.
Even though Chen Ze was a little dependent, he was still a little anxious.
Because at this time he looked around and found that the last lifeboat on the side of the ship had left the hull, and the whole huge cruise ship was about to sink to the bottom of the sea with everything.
γDing Dong!γ Stop Ismay from boarding the lifeboat to complete and get a reward, designate a raffle card Γ1! γ
A mechanical reminder sounded in my head, but there was only a wish task about VIP users, and I had to respond for a long time.
