Chapter 53: Sacrifice

When Duoduo shouted like this, my heart suddenly cooled a lot. I couldn't help but scold in my heart: This Chen Hao is really not a thing, he is so vicious! It's not okay to kill people, you have to put people to death.

When Dickens heard this, he immediately said to me and the old ghost, "I'll take care of it here, and you should hurry up and see how the damage to the hull is?" ”

We didn't dare to delay any longer, so we immediately rushed to check where the howitzer had just hit. When I got to the front, I heard the sound of "booming" water coming into my ears. I hurriedly asked Duoduo to turn on the searchlight to check the water ingress.

Duoduo followed the direction I had instructed, only to see that the water level in the cabin was gradually rising. At this time, the hole in the hull that had been broken was no longer visible. I could only see that near the side of the boat, there was a splash of water that was upturned like a spring, just like the Baotu Spring in Jinan. The water is constantly tumbling, and the amount of water coming out is amazing.

In the blink of an eye, the hull tilted at a slight angle. Items and utensils inside the ship began to make "ping-pong" falling and crashing sounds. The lighting equipment in the ship also began to "crackle" and make intermittent noise. Blink twice from time to time, and some go out, never to light up again; Others blinked twice and then lit up again. It is estimated that the circuit encountered water and a short circuit occurred.

Lisa staggered to the side with a flashlight to help Dickens illuminate them.

Dickens then exclaimed, "How's your situation there?" ”

I replied, "The hull is injured and the water intake is too great, so it will definitely be too late to remedy it." ”

"I'm sure I can't tear it down here, there's not much time left, only five minutes." Dickens cried out, "In that case, let us abandon the ship quickly." Drop your lifeboats and make sure you're safe. There's no time, hurry! ”

When Dickens said this, the old ghost and I immediately went to untie the rope and lower the suspended lifeboat. We were so fast that we put the lifeboat in the water in two clicks. As soon as the lifeboat hit the water, the four of us jumped on it. The old ghost and I rowed forward desperately with our sculls.

Dickens: They were ahead of us, and when they saw that the bomb was about to explode, they also paddled forward desperately without looking back. We rowed two men after all, and soon we were in line with Dickens and their boat.

As we desperately stroked forward, "boom~", a huge explosion sounded behind us. Suddenly, fires erupted everywhere. Several of us couldn't help but be secretly surprised: what kind of explosives did this dog/day Chen Haotian use, and it was so powerful! A huge passenger ship was suddenly destroyed in the flames. If we were still up there, we would have returned to the West by now.

We were so shocked by this tremendous movement that we couldn't help but look back at this unusual violent scene. In the place where the fire reflected in the sky, I saw a towering large mushroom cloud, slowly rising into the sky.

Before we could come back to our senses, we could only hear a sound of "bang-bang" in the distance. If you look closely, you can see a monstrous wave sweeping in!

When we saw this, we immediately paddled forward with all our might.

After all, the speed of the oars was insignificant, and in an instant, the monstrous waves were close at hand. It's not so much a monstrous wave as a "monstrous*". After all, it has no waves, just low and undulating waves. It's just that the amplitude of this low wave is too large, and the straight-line distance between the peak and the trough is about two stories high.

Seeing that the waves were about to arrive, I immediately shouted, "Hold on to the side of the boat, don't let go!" ”

When everyone heard this, as if they were instinctively reacting, they hurriedly grabbed the edge of the lifeboat.

In an instant,* arrived, and our lifeboat was like an insignificant leaf on the huge waves, swaying with the wind and waves. The hull of the ship swayed instantly, and several of us were also staggered by the jolting. If we were to say that the soul had ten points, we would now have three or four points left.

Finally, after that earth-shaking turbulence, the hull finally stabilized. A few of us steadied a little, and we were still a little frightened, and none of us spoke.

Originally, our carefully planned escape plan went bankrupt without warning. From freighter to automatic passenger ship, from passenger ship to this hand-run scull-driven lifeboat. If you want to escape from the terrifying waters of Ghost Island at such a speed, it is estimated that it will be the Year of the Monkey. Thinking of this, everyone was disappointed.

"Master!" At this time, Tom suddenly stood up with a "poof".

We were all slightly taken aback by his actions, and we all looked at him with question marks on our heads. Dickens was even more suspicious, not knowing what was wrong with Tom. Tom's face was pale, and there was not even a trace of blood on his lips. Tom didn't say a word, and we didn't know what was going on.

"Master...... Afterlife...... I would like to be your own ...... Son! Tom said it almost word for word, and then fell to his knees in the cramped cabin of the lifeboat.

At this time, Dickens hurried forward and tried to help Tom. But as soon as he got into the air, Tom "pounced" and fell to the bottom of the boat. That's when we see the real reason: Tom's back was already red with blood, and his entire clothes were soaked with blood. At a cursory glance, Tom had been shot at least ten times.

Dickens couldn't control his feelings for a moment, and hurriedly helped Tom up who was dying. I held it in my arms in distress, and I didn't care that my hands were covered with blood. When Dickens saw Tom's tragic situation at this time, he was already distressed and painful to the extreme. I saw that he opened his mouth wide, as if he was crying, but he didn't make a sound.

In this way, Dickens remained in a state of extreme pain. After a while, the voice said, "Tom, Tom! It's all my fault! It's all to blame for not taking good care of you and letting you block the gun for me. ”

When Dickens said this, I remembered that in an emergency, Tom threw Dickens down. It may have been at that time that I was shot a few times. It is equivalent to using himself as a meat shield, blocking a few shots for Dickens and saving his life.

At this time, Tom tried to open his eyes and said, "Master...... There is no chance in this life...... Next...... I must be your own son! ”

Dickens's face was full of vicissitudes, and at this time it was already old tears. said: "You are my own son!" You are my own son! ”

When Tom heard this, he smiled slightly, and he lost his breath anymore.

Dickens hugged Tom in despair, opening his mouth to cry, but he couldn't make a sound. Duoduo and Lisa couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw Dickens like this. As the saying goes: "Men don't flick when they have tears", but people's hearts are flesh and blood, "people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless"? When I met the old ghost, my eyes couldn't help but get wet.

Dickens only whispered, "You are my own son!" You are my own son......"
