Chapter 630: Hope in Despair (3)
The young woman muttered calmly, but it was like a thunderbolt that tore through the sky, making Thomas, who was already numb, an indescribable, inexplicable, but softest corner of his heart melt in an instant.
The impact was so strong that for a moment, he was like a thoughtless walking corpse, and the chaos surpassed the young woman.
"Ah~" An extremely suppressed cry of pain came from behind him, and Thomas hurriedly turned his head, because the voice was clearly transmitted from the position where the young woman was before.
Thomas looked back and saw that the young woman, who had been biting and insisting on moving forward, suddenly stumbled, and almost lost her balance, but even if she barely stood up straight, from her face full of pain, and her trembling body, Thomas probably guessed what the reason was.
This is a very severe cramp, and the muscles are suddenly stimulated by this severe cold water, and the young woman's weak body cannot bear this stimulation at all, resulting in a natural response to cramps.
In normal times, as long as you get out of these cold waters immediately and change into some dry and warm clothes, you will naturally get better quickly.
But at this fateful time, what usually seemed extremely simple turned into a luxury, and to add insult to injury, because the young woman staggered and shook her body, the baby, who had been carefully wrapped in oilcloth, drank a few sips of cold seawater, and was immediately stimulated to cry.
Helplessness, pain, despair, and even a hint of relief, at this moment, Thomas saw such complex emotions in the eyes of the young woman, but even at this time, the young woman was still stubborn, and kept her mouth shut, and did not ask anyone around her, not even a single cry for help......
Soon, the pain became more and more intense, so that the young woman could no longer maintain a standing position in the sea, and she murmured: "My dear, my baby and I are here, whether you are in heaven or hell, our family will be together, and no one can separate our family." ”
Later, when she fell on her back, she found that her back was held by a large strong hand, and then a reassuring force came from the big hand and carried her on.
At the same time, a voice came to his ear, which had just taken off his childishness for a short time: "Remember, you promised your man that you would live well with your child, hold on, don't give up easily." “
Feeling the big hand on her back and waist, dragging her forward, although the young woman had sworn before that she would never cry again in this life, but why, the tears in her eyes kept flowing so uncontrollably.
"Don't get on it again, the boat is full, and if you come up again, the boat will capsize, and don't worry, children, my old Donnie will come back next time, I promise." The captain of the Lucky Jose, a silver-haired old man, stood at the bow and screamed with all his might.
However, even though the venerable old man had broken his voice, there was still an endless stream of people who grabbed the cable that stretched out of the ship's edge and kept climbing towards the deck, and the number of people was as dense as ants crawling with cheese.
This ship has long exceeded the upper limit of its capacity, and the heavy weight has made the waterline extremely dangerous.
On the deck a dozen paces away, the boatswain, who was also his eldest son, shouted to him anxiously: "Captain, they can't go on like this, they have all lost their minds, and if they don't stop them, the ship will capsize soon." ”
Old Donnie closed his eyes in pain when he heard this, he knew that what his son said was right, those who desperately wanted to climb into the boat, wanted to get a glimmer of life, they were not wrong in doing so, such a choice could tear his heart apart painfully.
In the end, reason still prevailed, and Old Donnie roared with a crying voice: "Listen, if you want to survive, you can beat all these people who are still climbing the boat......"
Fists, big feet, everything you can pick up...... As soon as Old Donnie's roar came out, the people who had already climbed on the boat immediately reacted, and they instinctively greeted the people who continued to climb up.
Crying, pain, invective, even the craziest and most vicious curses...... The crowd that was still struggling to climb was smashed off the edge of the boat one by one after all these performances.
"Quick, anchor, sail, let's hurry away and get out of this hellish place. The boatswain, instead of his old father, who was now weeping, gave the order to sail.
Then, with the joint efforts of everyone, the ship quickly set sail, and the lucky Hexiren began its eighteenth adventure of life and death.
I don't know if it's because of the bad taste of those deep-sea monsters, or for whatever reason, but every time an empty ship comes, they don't attack at all.
But every time they fill up and start their way back, their attacks become insanely frenzied......
Because after bringing a large and a small two, Thomas's forward speed naturally slowed down helplessly.
Then, he was overtaken by countless men, and then, the ship on which he had originally intended to board, the lucky Jose, was, of course, impossible to have room for him.
In fact, by the time they reached the boarding position, most of the ships were already full, and they ignored the pleading of the others and began to slowly move away.
Thomas pushed the young woman and her child onto a small boat, a boat that could only be fished inland on a calm lake, and it was a marvel in itself that it was able to appear here under the paddle of the boatman's oars, and not be broken by the waves.
However, Thomas had no choice at this time, and even after climbing into the boat, he smiled gratefully at the hunchbacked old boatman from the bottom of his heart.
Now the boat, which could only carry five or six people, was rowed by all means with the combined efforts of thirteen crew members, and when the boat had sailed hundreds of meters, Thomas subconsciously glanced back.
He saw the boarding area, the water that almost submerged to his chest, filled with countless desperate people, roaring and screaming in the icy water, like a colony of ants that had been terrified all day before an earthquake came.
