In third class, Tommy woke up from his sleep, grabbed a pistol under his pillow, and looked up.

He got up and opened the hatch and looked out into the hallway, where many passengers had walked out of the door, as he did.

Tommy frowned, remembering his boss's instructions to keep his gun with him at all times and to go to the boss if he had any accidents.

"Come on, Sain wake up!"

Laimai opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There should have been an accident, the boss said that if there is any movement, you have to go to him, hurry up. No, I'll go see what's going on, and you'll get dressed right away! ”

"Good! Wake up, Theon! "Let's respond.

Tommy grabbed his coat and walked outside, and hurried up the stairs to the deck, where he looked back at the iceberg slowly receding......

Immediately, Tommy's heart seemed to fall to the ground, and he was so frightened that the pores of his sweat opened all over his body, and the cold wind poured into his body, and he shivered on the spot.

He immediately turned around and ran towards the first-class cabin, bumping into Laimai and Sein halfway through.

"Find the boss!

"What happened?"

"Hit the iceberg!"

“……”

Laimai and Sein made eye contact, hurrying to keep up with Tommy.

First Class.

The impact caused the ship to swing slightly, and the muffled sound woke several people.

Russell opened his eyes and turned to look at Ruth, who was sleeping in the crook of his arm.

At this moment, nearly two minutes have passed since the collision of the ship.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Outside the door, Tommy's voice was a little impatient.

Russell got up and got dressed, walked to the door and opened it.

"Boss, something happened. The ship hit an iceberg, the deck was covered with broken ice, and several passengers were slightly injured. The iceberg is huge......"

Russell said abruptly, "Don't worry, Tommy, calm down. ”

Tommy inhales deeply, gradually calming down his tension and fear.

"Boss, what are we going to do?"

Russell asked, "First of all, go to the bottom warehouse to see if there is any leakage, and if there is no leakage, you can go back to your room and sleep." If there's a leak, call all of our people up and get ready to escape. ”

"Boss, I... Is it possible for us to die? ”

Russell shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there are many ships that have hit the iceberg and they have all died at the bottom of the sea." Although Mr. Andrews said that the ship would never sink, it was just a father's blessing to the child. We should not give our lives to God, but hold them firmly in our hands! ”

"Tommy, hold on to the guns in your hands, if this ship sinks, for example, there will be a riot, and what we have to do is to save more people in the riot, women and children first, understand?"

"Understood! I'm going to do it. ”

Russell nodded: "Go to the main staircase and find me." ”

"Okay."

After Tommy leaves, Russell turns around and goes back to the room and shakes Ruth awake.

Let her get dressed immediately, Ruth was a little confused, but still put on her clothes very obediently.

"Mr. Walker, what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid the ship is sinking."

"Shipwrecks? No, it won't...... Mr. Andrews didn't say ......"

"Don't listen to nonsense, have you ever seen a ship that doesn't sink?"

"Okay, so what are we going to do?"

Russell put on his coat, "Of course it's to run for your life, is there a second way?" ”

"Okay, okay..."

Ruth is a little nervous, but she has to accept a series of blows from reality.

Stepping out of first class, Russell walked to Mrs. Brown's door and knocked on it.

The door opens.

Mrs. Brown wore a fur coat and looked at Russell in a daze.

And he didn't talk nonsense, and directly told her that the ship might be sinking, and asked her to get dressed and go to the deck to wait.

Without giving her a chance to ask in astonishment, Russell hurried to the next cabin.

Wake up Aster, Guggenheim, Yin Sido and others in a row.

Then he turned around and took Ruth to the main staircase.

It's 11:55.

By the time the water had poured into the hull, the water level had risen to 16 feet, and the first five sealed compartments in the bow were submerged.

Boiler room No. 6 is covered by an 8-foot high water level! More than 4,000 tons of seawater have poured in the bow of the ship!

Thanks to the waterproof partition, the situation seems to be under control.

Captain Smith woke up, went out to ask the crew what had happened, and upon learning of the incident, he immediately ordered all the engines in the ship to stop working, and called in engineers to repair the damaged parts of the ship.

Russell and Ruth reach the main staircase and see Tommy waiting anxiously.

"Boss, seepage... There was water coming up from the bottom of the boat. I asked them to wake up the passengers, including the ...... in second and first class."

Ruth said beside her: "Mr. Walker, the Titanic only has twenty lifeboats, and it can't accommodate all the passengers at all. ”

Russell pondered, "Tommy, gather all the carpenters of our construction company, use all the tools, and immediately make lifeboats from local materials...... Make a simple raft and save time! ”

Tommy was stunned when he heard this, and felt that the carpenter recruited by the construction company seemed to be preparing for this accident in advance.

But he didn't have any more thoughts, and immediately responded: "Okay! ”

Just as he was about to leave, the boss suddenly called out to him.

"Tommy!"

He paused and turned his head to hear the boss say, "If someone doesn't follow the order, you have to protect your family with the guy in your hand, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Tommy nodded heavily.

He was already mentally prepared while he waited for his boss to come to the main staircase.

Immediately, Russell and Ruth came to the main deck, and Ruth was a little stunned when they looked at the crowd.

"Mr. Walker, this ship is really going to sink..."

"It's already a sure thing."

Ahead, Captain Smith and the crew seemed to be in a meeting, and Astor and the Guggenheim, Yinsido, and others were also gathered around to gossip, unclear what Russell was calling them to the deck for.

At this moment, the four chimneys suddenly let out a deafening roar and roar!

This is the release of high-pressure steam due to overheating in the boiler safety valve.

Russell took Ruth to Astor and the others, and said to Mrs. Brown, "Molly, Ruth will leave it to you." ”

"Okay."

Astor and the others were just about to ask what was going on.

Russell then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the ship is going to sink because of the seepage of seawater from the bottom of the sealed cabin. ”

"What?"

The crowd was a little shocked.

"No, Andrews and Yin Simei didn't say ......"

"Unsinkable? Gentlemen, you are all smart people, and it is a fatal mistake to trust others easily! ”

Astor nodded slowly: "If it really sinks, what should we do?" Do you want to fight for escape places with those women and children? ”

"yes, I've heard Andrews say that there are only 20 lifeboats on board, which can only accommodate half of the passengers. I can't do anything to compete with a woman for a seat. Guggenheim said with a straight face.

Russell looked at him and asked, "Would you like a glass of brandy?" ”

The Guggenheim paused and smiled, "If you have one, of course I'd like to taste it." ”

"Haha..."

The crowd laughed.

Russell eased the tension appropriately, and then said, "Everyone, you treat me as a friend, so I can't watch you die. Believe me, I can promise that more people will survive, but I can't guarantee that everyone will live. ”

"Of course I want to believe you, you are the best security advisor, and if we can survive this disaster, you will be famous!" ”

Yin Xiduo said: "We are also willing to be green leaves for you." ”

“……”

Russell nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved." Oh, keep an eye on Mr. Yin Simei, he still owes me money. ”

"He owes us money too!"

Russell smiled and patted Ruth on the back in encouragement, then turned and walked towards Captain Smith.

At this moment, Captain Smith is communicating with Andrews.

"The crew told me that the water had submerged the six forward sealed compartments in the bow, as well as the three cargo compartments and boiler room No. 6. Mr. Andrews, please tell me, is it possible for this ship to be repaired? ”

Andrews was silent for a moment, and although he didn't want to say it, he couldn't help it.

"No, the ship is hopeless, it can only last less than two hours."

Immediately, Captain Smith froze in place.

Just as he was in a daze, a gun was held to his temple.

"Mr. Walker, you ......" Andrews opened his mouth.

Smith turned his head and asked, "Mr. Walker, what is this for?" ”

Russell said, "I heard your conversation, this ship is sinking, right?" ”

"Yes."

"I've already made up my mind, so now that this ship has been hijacked by me, everyone has to listen to me! Captain Smith, you're not going to object, are you? ”

"Walker, are you really going to hijack a ship?"

"The hijacking is to keep more people alive, I'm a security advisor, you should trust my profession, Mr. Smith."

Captain Smith stared into his eyes, then to the crew waiting for the opportunity, and ordered, "From now on, everyone must listen to Mr. Walker's orders!" He is a professional security consultant and a survival expert. ”

"Mr. Smith......"

"Okay, we'll follow Mr. Walker's orders."

Russell nodded in satisfaction, and immediately ordered: "Wilde distributes all the pistols, and then goes to place the lifeboat in groups of three, regardless of whether the passengers are first or third class, women and children are given priority to the lifeboat!" Make sure that each lifeboat has two people who can control the boat, you know? ”

"Understood!"

The second mate came to Lerler and asked, "Mr. Walker, women and children are given priority on board, right?" ”

"That's right, if there is a man who grabs the position, then use the guns in your hands to destroy him!"

“… Okay, okay. ”

"Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

The crew went their separate ways, and when Russell turned around, he found Captain Smith and Andrews gone.

He knew that the two had gone there, but he was not prepared to persuade them to leave......

This is the maiden voyage of the Titanic, since something happened, the captain and the designer have an unshirkable responsibility, they must stay on the ship, otherwise the world will call them cowards, and even if they survive, they will live in guilt.

At present, Philip, the telegrapher in the communications room, is urgently sending a distress signal.

He was very grateful to the nobles for the robbers who came out with nonsense, because after he sent the telegram, many ships received SOS distress signals, and only a very few ships received CQDMGY distress signals.

To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

The Titanic's sister ship, the Olympiad, was five hundred nautical miles away and couldn't catch up at all.

The Frankfurt is 85 nautical miles and the Biama is 70 nautical miles......

The cruise ship Karpathia is 60 nautical miles ... It will take three hours to arrive at the earliest.

If it weren't for Russell sheep pretending to be robbers and having the telegraph operator send a distress telegram, there wouldn't have been so many ships nearby.

Even the nearest Carpathia, which took more than four hours to reach the wreck site in the movie, now only takes three hours.

This is also because the Titanic is too fast, even if it sends a distress signal in advance, other ships cannot catch up, so they can only follow behind, or take a shortcut from the flank.

The crew is lowering the lifeboats, and Russell finds Astor and the others.

Tell them that the women and children get into the lifeboat first, so let Mrs. Brown and Ruth, Ada, and the other ladies leave first.

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about us, women don't deserve to die in front of men, although we are not gentlemen, but we must be gentlemen when we die." Guggenheim said.

Russell smiled and said, "Mrs. Brown, I am your security advisor, I can die, but you must live." ”

"Professional!" The Guggenheim gave a thumbs up.

Astor persuaded, "Mrs. Brown, Walker is very blunt, don't embarrass him. ”

Mrs. Brown nodded hesitantly, "Then you guys stay safe." ”

"So are you."

Originally, Ruth was a little reluctant to accompany Russell, but he slapped him twice in public, and then left with Mrs. Brown and the others with a face full of grievances.

"Walker, I trust you, and if you need our help, just say it."

Russell smiled, "I hope you guys survive." ”

"What about the others?"

"All I can say is my best."

Helping Astor and the Guggenheim survive was because it was profitable.

As for whether the others can survive, it depends on how fate arranges, of course, Russell also hopes that they can survive, after all, the heavens can add a few points when they score.

But there weren't enough lifeboats, so they had to use surfboards made improvised by carpenters......

Russell saw a band near the staircase on the main deck, and they were about to play it to avoid panic as the passengers fled.

"Mr. Wallace, please play a Beethoven Moonlight Song."

Wallace, the band's conductor and violinist, laughed at Russell's dot and replied, "Okay, Mr. Walker." ”

Immediately, this song containing pain and grief sounded.

It's very relevant to the current people's mental journey.

At this moment, the sea water has submerged the 48-foot-high crew lounge, the ship has sunk nearly 6 meters, and the left and right two rows of portholes have submerged under the water.

Engineers are still pumping water out of the bottom of the ship with pumps, hoping to slow down the sinking of the ship and give passengers more time to survive.

At this time, the sixth Moody rushed to report and reported: "Mr. Walker, the nearest ship to us, the Karpathia, is coming towards our position, but the fastest arrival time will be 3 hours!" ”

"You go and help Lowe put down the folding lifeboat and let the children get on the boat and get away from the boat."

"Okay!"

0:40.

When boiler room No. 6 and the five sealed cabins were submerged, the water completely flooded down to the E deck, where there was no waterproofing and sleep quickly poured in from the top.

The hull gradually tilts, and the bow railing slowly makes contact with the sea.

Tommy is working with the carpenters to build an escape raft, but he clearly uses his abilities in the wrong place.

"Tommy, what the are you doing?"

"Boss..."

Russell frowned and said, "You can let Laimai or Ashdam keep an eye on it, and then you should go to the deck to keep the law!" Now the ship has been taken over by us, understand? ”

"I... Boss, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry... I..."

"Get your wife and children on board the lifeboat, hurry!"

"Ahh Okay, boss, thanks! ”

After Tommy left, Russell asked Laimai to organize people to transport the liferaft to the bow of the boat, and put the raft directly from the bow into the sea, and then let the passengers sit on it.

This kind of raft can carry four or five adults, after all, it is simple, and its buoyancy is not very large.

"Old carpenter, you have to leave some rafts for yourself, your own life is your life."

"Yes, Mr. Walker, you are a good and good man."

"I want to see you in the United States."

"Well, as long as we survive, we will definitely keep our promises."

Outside, the sky lit up instantly.

This is a distress rocket, which shines unusually in the dark night.

The purpose is to let nearby ships that have not received a distress signal see it, indicating that the ship is in distress and calling for rescue.

In fact, one of the freighters did see a rocket signal nearby, and the crew reported the news to the captain, but the captain thought it was the nobles setting off fireworks and ignored it.

Tommy put his wife and children in the lifeboat, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Women and children get into the lifeboat first!" Whoever dares to disobey will die first! ”

After speaking, he raised his gun and fired two shots into the sky.

Bang Bang!

The gunfire sobered up many of the passengers who were in a state of confusion.

It just so happened that Russell walked to the deck and said to Tommy and First Officer Wilde: "Anyone dares to disturb the order and shoot him directly!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! If you want to live, you have to be obedient! I'm a professional security consultant and my name is Russell Walker! ”

People looked at each other, and then there was a lot of discussion.

They've all heard Walker's name these days, and the reviews of him are mostly positive.

"Mr. Walker, what are we going to do?"

"You just have to follow the order! Let the women and children board the lifeboat first, and you will take local materials, find wooden, levitating objects, and then launch and leave from the bow of the boat! ”

"In order for you to survive at sea, you must be united! Bread and drinking water will be distributed in the bow of the ship to ensure your survival at sea. ”

Russell pointed at Sain and said, "You go to the bow of the ship to keep the law." ”

"Yes."

Tommy and others and the crew threatened with guns, and the passengers stopped a lot, which made the evacuation work go smoothly.

But Russell found that some of the lifeboats were not full at all, and the crew lowered the lifeboats.

"Come to Teller!"

"Yes, Mr. Walker, you command."

Russell said: "Why did the lifeboat go down when it wasn't full? ”

"It's for fear of capsizing."

"It won't capsize, the quality of the lifeboats on the Titanic is very good, and each lifeboat must be guaranteed to be full of 65 people!"

The full load is 70 people, and it is not the limit of the lifeboat, but it is possible that the limit of the crane rope.

"Okay."

Laiteler responded, turned his head and went to explain one by one.

The two fully loaded lifeboats were lowered and landed firmly on the surface, and the crew members who were carrying their hearts breathed a sigh of relief, as Mr. Walker said, the quality of the lifeboats was really good.

Then, the other lifeboats were also loaded with passengers, and each lifeboat was equipped with 1 or 2 crew members to paddle, comfort and encourage the passengers......

Captain Smith walked into the wheelhouse, his pipe in his mouth and quietly staring at the water ahead, waiting for death.

His heart was very complicated, and he didn't know why he listened to Yin Simei's advice in the first place and increased the speed to 23 knots. I also regret not listening to Russell's warning...... But it's too late to regret it, and since the ship is going to sink, then he can't live anymore.

Andrews is the same, standing in front of the restaurant's big pendulum clock, turning the hands, fantasizing about turning back time and avoiding this disaster, but unfortunately it is impossible to turn back time, and he must face the disaster.

Aster, Guggenheim and others were helping the rest of the women and children to board the lifeboats, and they were not idle, doing their best to help people escape.

1:20 a.m.

Seawater poured into the No. 4 boiler room, and the front of the restaurant almost became a diving training ground, and the ship's center of gravity continued to move forward slowly, and the originally calm deck was also thrown into chaos.

Because the passengers realized the seriousness of the situation, they began to fall into fear when they looked at the dozens of lifeboats, and the remaining more than a thousand people.

Running towards the lifeboat one by one, Tommy and the crew who were standing in the boat gang immediately raised their guns.

"Do you dare to shoot?"

"Kill me, you're a murderer!"

Clang!

Tommy and the crew were stunned.

The man's head blossomed in front of him, and he collapsed on the deck in a daze.

Russell held up his gun, and the muzzle of it was smoking.

He asked with a straight face, "Who wants to try again?" ”

No one answered.

People didn't expect Russell to dare to shoot, let alone be so resolute.

At that moment, a figure sprang out from Murdoch's side, ran directly to the lifeboat, and sat down with the woman and children.

Russell turned his head to look at him and said indifferently, "Mr. Yin Simei, didn't you hear what I said?" ”

Yin Simei was stunned and said, "Mr. Walker, I... I still owe you money, I can give you double, no, five! ”

Russell shook his head, "This is a matter of principle, and you can't make something special just because you are the owner of this ship." ”

Originally, the crowd was a little unusual, but when they heard this, they suddenly quieted down.

They didn't expect that it was the boss of the Titanic who sneaked onto the lifeboat!

So what will Mr. Walker do?

Excessive!

Gunshot.

Russell put his gun into the sky, then pointed the muzzle of the gun at Yin Simei, and said, "Mr. Yin Simei, you only have one chance to get off the boat." ”

Yin Simei shouted repeatedly: "No, Walker, you can't do this to me, I have money... I can pay you a lot of money... Our relationship..."

At this time, Tommy rushed forward and raised his hand to pull Yin Simei out of the lifeboat.

Because Tommy's hands-on ability is really hard to speak, after pulling half of Yin Simei's body out, his arm felt a little cramped, and he loosened some strength.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yin Simei did not hold steady, and fell directly from the gap between the boat gang and the lifeboat.

Poof!

The sound of falling water is clear.

Tommy turned his head in a daze and said, "Boss, he jumped into the sea." ”

"Mr. Yin Simei is too guilty."

Russell turned his head, glanced at the stunned crowd, and asked, "Did you all see that?" Mr. Yin Simei, the owner of the Titanic, jumped into the sea because of guilt. ”

The crowd nodded and murmured, "Look, I see." ”

"Very well, please cooperate with the crew."

The bow of the ship was submerged in the sea, and the three huge propellers in the stern were cocked high.

Due to the increasing inclination, Russell made the carpenters make simple rafts that could easily enter the water, and nearly 150 people escaped with the rafts.

When the carpenters dismantled the door panels, some of the passengers also learned to use them, throwing the removed door panels to the bow of the boat, waiting for the door panels to float up and then climbing up, rowing out of the wooden oars made of the bed boards into the distance.

All lifeboats have been lowered, twenty boats carry 1060 people.

At this time, there were still more than 700 people standing on the deck, including Russell, Tommy, Astor and others.

"Mr. Astor, there is a raft made of bed boards and doors, so let the raft go to the sea and run for your life."

Astor frowned and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I... I can swim. Russell said.

The Guggenheim said, "No, I can't leave my friends behind. ”

"Walker, it is often said that afflictions bear witness to friendship, and you are indeed a very good friend. If it weren't for your command, there might be some kind of chaos. Yin Xiduo said.

"Let's go together, Walker, you're a real man."

Russell smiled and said, "You are also true gentlemen. ”

"Hahaha..."

The crowd laughed.

2:07 a.m.

Astor and the others went down to the sea on a simple raft, desperately paddling the plank in their hands, and fled into the distance.

Why the desperate? Because the boat is falling, it has a certain suction, so if you don't work hard, you can only spin in place, and finally it is swallowed by the sea.

2:11 a.m.

Philip, the telegraph operator, sent his last distress message when he was submerged in the sea.

The band stopped, and Wallace and the musicians turned their heads and went into the cabin to wait for death.

And Russell stood in the middle of the boat and said to Tommy next to him, "Resent that I didn't let you leave early?" ”

Tommy shook his head: "You are a good boss, I am willing to follow you, even if I die in the sea." ”

Sein muffled, "I would too." ”

"Although I don't want to die, someone has to die. ”

Ashdown: "My family is already in the lifeboat, it doesn't matter if I'm dead, thank you boss." ”

"Do you think I'm so ruthless? You see, Lowe rowed back. ”

"Is this...?"

"There were a lot of empty seats on the lifeboat, and I asked Lowe to transfer the passengers on the boat to another boat, and then he rowed back to pick me up, and to be honest, I didn't want to die."

"Boss, you... You're too scheming. ”

Russell smiled: "I'm not a good person, don't think too well of me, jump into the sea, like Mr. Yin Simei, with guilt." ”

With that, Russell jumped down.

Tommy followed.

Then came Laimai, Sain, and Ashdam......

They were only about six meters above the surface of the sea, and after jumping into the sea, they only felt the cold and biting of the sea, and after their heads were exposed to the sea, they swam into the distance.

2:16 a.m.

Russell and Tommy grab the lifeboat gang, and Lowe drags them up.

At the same time, the lights of the whole ship were turned off.

Russell sat on the lifeboat and looked at the huge Titanic, only to see his stern cocked high, then broke off in the middle and slammed into the water.

"Row now!"

Lowe yelled.

Tommy and the others were not idle after they got on the boat, rowing desperately with wood pulp in hand.

"It's sinking, paddle!"

The engineers on the ship had long since died at their posts, and even the power engineers were electrocuted the moment the lights went out on the whole ship.

2:20 a.m.

Russell's lifeboat rowed two hundred meters away.

As soon as I looked up, I saw that the stern of the boat was falling at 90 degrees, and it sank completely in less than 1 minute.
