Chapter 004: Death Passenger Ship (3)
At about two o'clock in the morning, a giant freighter with red and green lights rushed straight through the fog, and the scene scared the sailors who had just arrived at the side of the ship.
At the same time, the Princess Largani blew a long whistle to tell the opposing ship that it was turning to the right.
However, everything is already irretrievable!
"Hold on!"
With a loud shout from the retired military doctor Thor, the giant ship that rushed out of the fog and its bow pillar tilted into the right side of the Princess Larghny at a 35° angle, only to see dazzling sparks burst out from the impact, followed by a piercing sound of metal rubbing.
The few sailors standing on the side of the ship were instantly crushed alive to minced meat, and the splatters of blood immediately stained the deck red.
"Ah!!h
In the face of the tragedy, the ballet dancer Lena let out a long, high-pitched shout, while the other people did not look very good.
[The passenger ship Princess Largany collided with the freighter Srdod, the shipwreck accident started, and the 30-minute countdown began! 】
Just as the system prompt popped up, the door of the telegraph room behind Wei Zede suddenly opened, and a young man with messy hair ran out in a panic.
"Oh my God! My God!! ”
When the young man saw the bow of a giant freighter embedded deep in the starboard belly of the Princess Largni, he tore open his throat and let out a wail.
"Telegraph room?"
Wei Zede seemed to think of something, and he rushed in with a single arrow step.
"What's wrong?"
He was followed by Thor, a retired military doctor, who asked urgently, "Did you find anything wrong?" ”
"I'm looking for a megaphone!"
Weizel replied as he quickly glanced at the environment in the telegraph room.
"Found it!"
On a table with a transceiver, Wei Zede saw an old-fashioned microphone, and without hesitation, he reached out and pressed the power button of the microphone.
"Hey, hey!"
Wei Zede's voice was immediately transmitted through the amplification microphone.
"Attention the Srdord!"
"Attention the Srdord!"
"Don't back down! Please keep going!! ”
"Repeat...... Don't back down! Please keep going!! ”
Weizel knew that the fatal impact had left a huge wound on the Princess Largni, and that as soon as the opposing freighter retreated and pulled the bow out of the breach, the sea would rush in and quickly pour into the Princess Largni.
However, the answer of the other freighter was disappointing: "My ship has lost control and is retreating!" I'm sorry, but I'm running out of options! ”
With a sharp and piercing rolling sound, the two giant ships finally separated.
“…… You've done your best! ”
Saul, a retired medic, patted Weizel on the shoulder.
"I heard Wizede outside...... Saul? You're here too, huh? What are you two doing? ”
At this time, Norton, the engineer, also walked into the telegraph room.
[Trigger side quest: Repair the transceiver and send out a distress signal.] 】
Do you accept this task? Players are asked to make a choice within 30 seconds, otherwise they will be accepted by default. 】
When Norton entered the Telegram room, two messages popped up again.
"What's going on? I got a quest prompt! ”
Ballet dancers Lena and Father Joan also walked into the telegraph room one after the other.
"Mr. Norton, please make your choice!"
Sol, a retired military doctor, said quickly: "Of the five of us, you are the only one who has the ability to repair the radio. ”
"Not accepted! Now is the time to run for your life, how can you have time to fix any transceivers? ”
Norton didn't even think about it, and just made his choice.
Seeing Norton's eagerness to escape, several others also gave up on the triggered side quest.
[All players who participated in this trial mission have given up the side quest "Repair the transceiver and send out a distress signal" ......]
[Main quest content update: Survive for at least 60 minutes]
[Mission difficulty update: increased from E+ to E++]
The reappearance of the task prompt made everyone dumbfounded.
"Damn it! How so? ”
Engineer Norton exclaimed angrily, "Didn't you just give up an inexplicable side quest?" Why is the task more difficult? ”
"Well, maybe it's because this side quest is related to the subsequent shipwreck rescue...... Wei Zede said with a nonchalant expression.
"Wizede! It's all your fault!! ”
Seeing that Wei Zede was still lazy, Norton became more and more angry: "If you hadn't entered this room, how would I have followed up?" If I hadn't come in, the quest wouldn't have been triggered...... It will not increase the difficulty of the task because of giving up the task! ”
In the face of Norton's accusations, Weizel only yawned.
"Finished? Let's go to the life raft together......"
"You...... You...... Hum! ”
Norton pointed to Weized's nose, but he didn't know what to say, so he let out a heavy snort and turned and walked out of the telegraph room.
When everyone walked out of the telegraph room one after another, all kinds of desperate cries, desperate cries for help, and angry cursing sounds...... The sound of the giant passenger liner Princess Largani in various places makes people's hands and feet chill after listening to it.
Suddenly, the power system of the passenger ship was interrupted, the entire ship was pitch black, and endless terror enveloped the Princess Largani, and a doom was imminent!
From the collision to the power outage of the passenger ferry, less than six minutes passed!
Tons of seawater poured down the ship's holes, and the icy waters roared and swirled around the Princess Largane...... The hull began to tilt to the right.
By this time, the situation on the ship could not have been worse.
Many travelers, in the darkness and confusion, simply cannot find a corridor to the upper deck; There are a great number of people who have died in their sleep; Others have also fallen victim to their sluggishness, spending a great deal of time dressing and sorting out their belongings, often before they can step out of the door of the cabin, when death rushes in; Others were trampled to death in the dark.
In the end, only about 300 passengers arrived safely on the upper deck, accounting for only about one-fifth of the total number.
When Wei Zede and the others came to the vicinity of the life raft, it was already surrounded by a crowd!
Seeing this situation, Engineer Norton immediately became anxious: "Let me pass!" Let me pass! I'm going on a life raft!! ”
In the midst of the chaos, Norton squeezed into a life raft with all his might and difficulty, ignoring the others.
And the ballet dancer Lina also made full use of her female identity and won the sympathy of the crew with her pitiful appearance...... She also boarded another life raft.
"Die! Fools!! ”
Norton, who was sitting on the life raft that was in a descending state, suddenly stood up, and he yelled at Wei Zede and the others: "Open your eyes and take a good look!" Who's stupid? ”
Perhaps out of joy and sorrow, the Larganny Princess suddenly shook violently as Norton shouted, tilting sharply to the right...... The life raft in the descent swings high like a swing.
"Ahhh
The travelers, including Norton, fell into the sea with a series of terrible screams.
Wei Zede, who stabilized his body in the shock, squeezed through the crowd in front of him, and when he came to the side of the ship, he held on to the gauntlet and looked down, and then shook his head.
“…… Their luck is so bad! At the point where the water fell, there was a vortex (a whirlpool created when the ship sank) ......"
"Ironclad is hopeless!"
