Chapter 27: Harvesting the Rainbow

"Rose! It's coming! ”

Zeng Yingjian saw very clearly that the thing that was gradually getting bigger in the distance was the iceberg, he reminded Rose, and shouted loudly without hesitation:

“Iceberg！”

"Iceberg!"

Hoarse shouts suddenly rang out in the silence of the night.

On the watchtower, the two sleepy crew members instantly looked like they had been drenched in a basin of ice water, and a spirit hurriedly stared at the sea in front of them with wide eyes.

In the cockpit, several crew members on duty also looked towards the sea.

The first mate on duty in place of the captain was so shocked that his hands shook, and the coffee he was holding spilled out, and he didn't bother to clean up, so he hurriedly ran to the deck and looked ahead.

Even on the lower deck, there were a few passengers looking at the stars, looking out to sea.

However, they were not Zeng Yingjian, and they didn't see anything.

So, the next moment, everyone looked at Zeng Yingjian and Rose together.

"Iceberg! Iceberg! ”

"Right ahead!"

"Taller than a boat!"

"Turn the rudder!"

Zeng Yingjian's shouting voice didn't stop for a moment.

Not like a prank, so people turned their heads to look at the sea again.

The human eye is very wonderful, when scanning aimlessly, it will automatically ignore some small details, once preconceived and focused on searching with purpose, what is usually not seen, can be seen.

The lookout who boasted of being able to "smell the iceberg" lived up to Zeng Yingjian's expectations, and sure enough, his eyes were very good, and with Zeng Yingjian's early warning, he found the black shadow floating in the distance early.

Don't think about it, it's definitely not dazzling, it's an iceberg, and without any hesitation, the lookout sounded the alarm.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The long-awaited bell finally rang, Zeng Yingjian breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued to shout in the direction of the cockpit:

"Iceberg!"

"Right ahead!"

"Turn the rudder!"

Because of his early warning, this time, without waiting for the lookout to call, I heard him shouting wildly, and then heard the first mate with the alarm bell ringing, although he didn't see anything, he chose to believe it, threw the coffee cup in his hand casually, and rushed to the cockpit, shouting while running:

"There's an iceberg right ahead, turn left!"

Seeing this scene, Zeng Yingjian finally stopped, the tense string in his heart finally relaxed, and turned back to Rose and smiled:

"Grab your camera, ready to take pictures!"

As soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse, but he didn't care about it at this time, and turned his head to look at the front of the ship.

As the crew moved in a nervous and orderly manner, the big ship began to slowly turn to the left, and the speed was slowing down, and Rose finally saw the huge black shadow on the sea:

"I see it! Cal! Oh! Oh, God! It's huge! ”

As the big ship and the iceberg approached, under the illumination of the ship's lights, the people on the ship finally saw the true face of the iceberg.

As Zeng Yingjian said, it is indeed an iceberg higher than the Titanic, and this is only the part of it exposed on the sea, accounting for only one-tenth of the total volume.

The crew on the Titanic is indeed a well-trained veteran, turning-slowing-turning, and then turning, the Titanic drew an S-shaped arc on the sea surface and went around the left side of the iceberg.

The moment the big ship passed by the iceberg, the iceberg seemed to be close at hand, and the people on the ship looked up one after another.

And Rose forgot to take a picture, just clasped her fiancé's arm tightly with both hands:

"Oh, Karl......"

She gasped, thinking that if it weren't for her fiancé, the big ship might really collide with the iceberg, and such a big iceberg, even the Titanic, would not be spared, and more than 2,000 people on board would face life and death crises.

The deep fear made her tremble all over, how could she care about taking pictures? It's nice to be able to hold your phone.

Zeng Yingjian was more relaxed, patted her on the shoulder, took the phone, and slapped at the huge iceberg.

It's a rare sight! If you miss this time, you'll probably never see you again.

The iceberg finally disappeared in the direction of the stern, and the Titanic, which was gradually decelerating, slowly stopped.

"Oh-oh-"

The cheers of the crew were heard from the cockpit, frantically venting the joy and excitement of the rest of their lives.

"Ahh

There were also passengers on the deck who heard the sound and ran out to see the excitement, and they couldn't help but scream loudly as they watched the iceberg go away—to celebrate or vent.

Then more and more people ran out of the cabin, asking each other, pointing fingers, and talking.

Zeng Yingjian led Rose towards the cockpit.

Helping the Titanic get out of danger of sinking is only the first step, and the second step is to harvest the spoils, which is his real purpose.

The first mate was reporting to Captain Smith, who came in a hurry, and when he saw Zeng Yingjian leading Rose into the cockpit, he immediately greeted him:

"Mr. Hockley! Thank you so much for the reminder! If it weren't for you, we'd be in trouble! ”

The place where Zeng Yingjian and Rose were was not far from the cockpit, and when Zeng Yingjian was shouting there, of course the first mate recognized them, which is one of the reasons why he decisively ordered the turn to slow down - the famous Mr. Hockley will not be like those little ruffians to prank!

"Huh! You're welcome! I'm on the boat too, aren't I? ”

Zeng Yingjian smiled brightly, because the moment the first mate thanked him, the "rainbow" appeared again, and there was more than one, and there was a thick or thin rainbow on the head of every crew member in the cockpit, and even one appeared on Rose's head, and it was very thick.

Zeng Yingjian turned around and walked towards Captain Smith, the only person here who did not contribute a "rainbow" to him, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Captain, you should agree to slow down now, right?"

Captain Smith's face twitched, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly took off the hat on his head, bowed to Zeng Yingjian, and said sincerely:

"Mr. Hockley, thank you for saving the Titanic! I apologize to you for my negligence! ”

If he doesn't apologize, Zeng Yingjian really doesn't care, when he received Captain Smith's "rainbow", he was satisfied, waved his hand, and said generously:

"It's okay! We're in the same boat, as it should! ”

Then he led Rose out of the cockpit with satisfaction, and shouted at the two crew members on the lookout without forgetting to look up:

"Hey! Buddy! Happy working together! Well done! ”

"Thank you! Mr. Hockley! ”

"Thank you! Mr. Hockley! ”

As a result, two more "rainbows" were recorded.

On the deck below, the crowd who saw this scene, after a while, also shouted a few words of "thank you" at him, and flew over a few "rainbows" again.

Zeng Yingjian, who had a bumper harvest, took Rose, like a triumphant general, and walked triumphantly to the first class.

"Carl, you saved the Titanic, you saved us, you are a hero!"

Rose leaned next to her fiancé, watching all this, and couldn't help but praise proudly.

Zeng Yingjian suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at her, with the familiar burning heat of Rose in his eyes, and asked with a smile:

"Really?"

"Yes. You are my hero! Rose looked up into her fiancé's eyes and said it seriously, like a confession.

"Ahh

In Rose's exclamation, Zeng Yingjian suddenly picked her up by the waist and rushed to the first class cabin quickly:

"Now, the hero is going to sleep!"
