The shaking became more and more intense, and Jack felt a churn in his stomach, and at the same time he could hear the shouting outside, which was terrible and sad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Admittedly, now things were as Johnson had said, the great serpent in the sea had begun to attack, and he could imagine that the group of half-aged people on deck could no longer escape. The purpose of the Garland voyage has always remained the same, that is, to find another place to live, and such a heavy task obviously cannot be handed over to those old fellows who spend all day in the gangsters, and the only people who can hope to find a place to survive in the future if they survive are themselves and Johnson.

The two kept running, and Jack fantasized in his mind about how the two of them could squeeze into a lifeboat.

However, when he arrived, he realized that it was not a lifeboat at all. When the canvas with thick dust was lifted, Jack was dumbfounded - this is a lifeboat, it is obviously a life jacket, shoddy, driftwood is simply tied together, and then a layer of linen is woven, it is actually what the presbyterians call a lifeboat!?

Johnson also seemed a little lost, looking at the "piece" and "lifeboat" in front of him, he was a little overwhelmed, but after a while he thought of another way.

"Jack, you put this on first! Since there is no lifeboat, then we have to settle for it, it doesn't matter, there are life jackets over there, and they are in the warehouse. ”

After speaking, Jack obediently put on the life jacket according to Johnson's wishes, and then followed Johnson to grope to find the warehouse, at this time the cabin was dark, because the ship shook too much, causing all the oil lamps that were originally lit to splash on the ground, and the excessive flooding of the sea water extinguished the lamp oil that could have been burning, so they could only grope their way forward.

When he arrived at the warehouse and Johnson opened the door, he realized that there was nothing in it at all, and he stood there stupidly.

"What's wrong? why don't you go in and get it?" questioned Jack.

Johnson pushed Jack away and ran towards the escape with him, strapping his life jacket a little tighter as he ran.

Jack understood what Johnson meant, and knew that there were no life jackets in the warehouse, and it was indeed a voyage where there could be no mistakes. It turned out that everything had been arranged a long time ago, and in the first few days, it was no wonder that someone would always tell him: this is a road of no return. He didn't believe it at the time, and it wasn't until now that the time of crisis came that he understood what those people meant.

"No, I'm going to give it to you!" Jack stopped abruptly, and then began to drag the life jacket, "You are better suited to wear this life jacket than me, with my ability, I can't live anywhere." Believe me, you put it on!"

Johnson immediately stopped, turned around and pressed Jack's hand to prevent him from taking off his life jacket, and then scolded, "You're crazy! There is only one person who can survive! The time is too late, even the warehouse has been flooded with seawater! Don't you see the waves rushing down from the upper deck? Hurry up and go Jack! We will both have to be stuffed in the cabin a little later!"

But just then, a man rushed down from the upper cabin, stumbled to the place where the lifeboat was kept, and then rummaged around, as if looking for the life jacket on Jack's body.

The man looked frightened and asked the two angrily, "Where is the boat!? The big snake has already eaten all the people on the boat, where did you hide the boat!?"

Johnson didn't want to pay attention to this person and wanted to escape with Jack, but he didn't expect that person to pull Jack's life jacket and try to take it off.

Johnson kicked him away and continued to run with Jack. By this time, the sea water had poured in from the direction of the escape hatch and flooded the calves of the two people. However, at this time, more and more people ran down from it, as if they had already searched the warehouse and did not find the life jackets, so they ran in the direction of Jack and the others.

"No life jackets!Did they all take them away!?" a voice came from the darkness.

"I don't know! That monster is terrifying, let's find a lifeboat!"

However, the man who had just been kicked away by Johnson said to the others: "The lifeboat is also gone, it was all hidden by the two rabbit cubs in front of us!

By the time Jack felt someone behind him pull him, it was too late, those people were obviously more desperate than his own, and he pressed Jack into the water, and Jack was choked several times by the seawater. His body was submerged under the water, but his hands were still struggling on the water, but the number of people holding him down seemed to be increasing, and he could clearly feel someone reaching out on his body and tugging at his life jacket.

Instinct told him that it was the only life jacket on the boat, and that if it was damaged, or snatched by those who tried to kill him, it would be for nothing. Johnson is right that the chance to escape can only be reserved for young people, not these old, weak, sick and disabled people who can only eat and drink all day.

However, thinking is thinking, doing is doing, and now I can't move at all, except for drinking a few more sips of water, I can only wait for death.

He seemed to see his parents and Sophia's expectant eyes at that moment, including...... Johnson's resolute look.

"Jack!"

In the confusion, Jack seemed to hear someone shouting his name, and he could feel the pressure on his body getting less and less, until finally someone took his hand and dragged him out of the water.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Jack only felt that his lungs were about to explode, and he could only use all his strength to cough up the water in his lungs. When he opened his eyes, he vaguely saw a person in front of him, and he was pulling him out.

Johnson...... Thank you...... Take off my life jacket and put it on yourself!"

In the confusion, Jack could only barely say this, and then, because of the lack of oxygen for a long time, he still fainted. The last thing he remembered, though, was that Johnson had killed the few men behind him, and the boat was already submerged.

"Jack, Jack!?"

Someone was calling him.

After Jack came to his senses, Turks was dragging him to the shore by his clothes, "You don't want to live! Everyone has run away, and you're still on the shore, don't you see anything in the water?"

As if a world away, Jack realized that what was in front of him and what was in his mind were not the same thing, and only turned around to look at the dark water, and then ran away with the others.

It wasn't until they all felt safe that they each picked a rock and sat down, panting for breath. (To be continued.) )
