When the stern of the ship is completely immersed in the sea, a huge whirlpool is created, which sucks the passengers and crew who remain on board into the icy water.

Some people sank to the bottom of the sea with the Titanic, while others struggled to float, their heads exposed to the surface of the sea and breathing, pulling in panic everything around them that could levitate, including the corpses that had long been stiffened.

The disaster lasted at 2:40, and the world's largest and fastest cruise ship "Titanic" sank forever in the Atlantic.

2:23 a.m.

Russell commanded Tommy and Lowe and others to row the lifeboat towards the location where the Titanic sank.

Sweeping into the dark sea by the moonlight, he vaguely found a simple raft with three people lying on it, none other than Aster, Guggenheim and Yinsido.

"Astor!"

The three people on the raft heard the sound and slowly raised their heads.

Then they saw a lifeboat rowing towards them, and excitedly exclaimed, "Me, Walker! It's me! ”

They are all a little exhausted because they don't work often and because they are all old.

The lifeboat came to the side of the improvised raft, and Russell pulled the three of them to the boat, and asked Laimai to tie the raft to the back of the lifeboat and tow it.

"Why is it just the three of you, Gordon?"

Astor and Yin Xiduo were stunned and stammered: "He, he..."

The Guggenheim said with a calm face: "Walker, don't ask, Gordon has already died in the sea." ”

"I see, Gordon, like Mr. Yin Simei, chose to fall into the sea because he was ashamed of the world." Russell said with an eyebrow.

Astor nodded: "Yes, he is very guilty!" ”

"Take off your clothes and be warmer like I did."

"Okay, okay."

Yin Xi is the oldest, and his physical fitness is naturally not as good as that of young people, and he was shivering and slurred after soaking in the sea water for more than ten minutes.

Night temperatures in the North Atlantic in April are somewhat low, averaging around minus four degrees Celsius.

Since the clothes are soaked by the sea, they are already frozen at the moment, and if you don't take off your clothes, it's like putting on an ice coat, and it will be much better if you take off your clothes, after all, the human body has a self-heating system that can last for a few more hours in the cold night.

If the people who are still struggling in the sea water do not organize rescue as soon as possible, they will be frozen to death due to gradual hypothermia!

Astor and the others sat in the lifeboat, swinging their arms and torsos to warm up their bodies.

The three looked at each other and did not ask Russell why he was in the lifeboat, at least they survived and were saved by Russell again.

Calculating, this is the second time Russell has killed them.

"Walker, will we wait for help?"

Russell replied: "When we jumped into the sea, the crew told me that the Carpathia was closest to us and had already arrived. ”

"You jumped into the sea too?"

"Yes, my staff and I jumped into the sea en masse because there were too many people left on the boat and we were guilty. But Mr. Lowe came back in a lifeboat and rescued us from the sea. ”

"Yes." Lowe nodded appropriately.

Astor said, "Walker, you shouldn't blame yourself, you rescued many people, and you saved our three old guys. ”

"I'm a security consultant..."

"You're the best security advisor in the world, Walker, and there's no guilt, because without your command and order, more people would have died," the Guggenheim said. ”

"Yes, yes." Yin Xi has multiple key heads.

Russell smiled bitterly and did not answer.

Then, with their concerted efforts, five or six more people were fished out of the sea and placed on improvised rafts.

By the time the lifeboat sailed to the accident site, eight improvised rafts and planks and other floating objects had been tied to the back, and people were lying on their stomachs or sitting staring blankly at Mr. Walker, who was paddling hard ahead.

For a moment, my heart was full of emotion, if it weren't for Mr. Walker, all of them would have died, frozen to death in this cold night, and could not see the sun tomorrow morning.

"Mr. Walker, are you tired? I still have the strength to replace you. ”

Russell shook his head: "No, you try to move as much as possible in the back, don't get frozen." ”

“… Mr. Walker..."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, others couldn't persuade him, so he had to silently use the plank as a paddle and grit his teeth to paddle.

Although they felt very tired and tired every time they rowed, they all worked hard to see the black-haired Mr. Walker in front of them working so hard.

Astor and the Guggenheim joined in, replacing them with clothes that had been frozen into popsicles without planks.

In the end, Russell took the lead in rescuing nearly 80 people on the sea.

Among them were nobles and celebrities, and there were low-level commoners......

They paddled their oars to join the remaining 19 lifeboats.

More than 1,000 people on the lifeboat immediately cried with joy and excitement when they saw the black pressed human head.

"Mr. Walker!"

Ruth roared excitedly with her red eyes.

Mrs. Brown sat down in the boat, wiping the corners of her eyes.

When Ada, Madeleine and the others saw that their husbands were still alive, they were immediately overjoyed and speechless with excitement.

"Do you have any extra clothes?"

"Yes! Mr. Walker, you wear this! ”

"I've got a blanket here!"

"Put it on."

“……”

3:05 a.m.

The Carnard passenger ship, the Karpathia, was the first to arrive at the scene of the accident.

It's half an hour ahead of the movies.

When Russell spotted a light in the distance, he immediately asked the crew to send a distress signal in the language of the light.

The Carpathia's lookout spotted them first and reported them to the captain, who immediately ordered them to come at full speed and lower the lifeboat to prepare for the rescue work.

Sixteen minutes later, the survivors of the wreck landed on the deck of the Carpathia.

But the class phenomenon was still very distinct, with the aristocratic celebrities invited to the VIP rooms for coffee and strong tea, while the low-level commoners could only drink hot water on the deck or in the corridors.

Russell was personally invited by the captain to the VIP room to rest, and his performance in the shipwreck was embraced by all the survivors, claiming that Mr. Walker was a hero who had saved at least three hundred people in the shipwreck.

Originally, he wanted to stay and make friends with the people at the bottom, but the captain was gracious, and Astor and others added fuel to the fire, and the low-level civilians also persuaded him to rest......

So he went to the VIP room, dressed in a fur coat, baked on the stove, drank strong tea, and had a hearty breakfast with Ruth.

This is the treatment that belongs to heroes.

In the midst of this disaster, only 705 people survived.

But because of Russell, more than 1,300 people survived.

It's a miracle!

With only 20 lifeboats and a full capacity of 1,060 people, it is not easy for more than 300 people to survive through floating objects such as simple rafts and surfboards.

Moreover, after the ship sank completely, Russell went back with people to rescue 89 passengers and crew.

"I know people from the Pulitzer family, and I could ask them to spread the word about Walker's heroic deeds."

Astor and the others gathered together to discuss how to repay Russell, how to describe the shipwreck process with the media, and the farce of the robbers.

Guggenheim suggested: "Wen Yu should find someone with a good level to write, Mr. Yin Siduo, do you know anyone?" I know all the editors of the gossip columns. ”

"Of course, I'll leave that to me."

At this time, Ada, the wife of Yin Sido, said: "It is better to give Mr. Walker a title and praise his heroic deeds." ”

"It's true that stories are hard to remember, but titles are easy."

“……”

The rescue work of the Carpathia continued until 8:30 a.m., and the bodies of the passengers and crew were recovered 387, and the rest sank to the bottom of the sea with the Titanic.

After counting the survivors, the captain and priest presided over a memorial service in the large dining room.

However, after the ceremony, the survivors did not leave the cafeteria, but Astor took the stage to give a speech, explaining Walker's heroic deeds in the shipwreck, and describing the cause and end of the robbers' farce.

After the unification of the voice, the survivors went their separate ways.

--

New York Harbor.

The Karpathia passed by the Statue of Liberty, and the survivors looked at the huge statue and were stunned for a long time.

There was an indescribable emotion in my heart, like the fear of the catastrophe, but also like the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and the gratitude for Mr. Walker, and the pain of losing a loved one.

It's complicated, it's melancholy, it's hard to tell.

Lady Liberty slowly moved back, and in front of her at the Bartley Coast on Manhattan Island, tens of thousands of people were watching the ship.

At pier 54, there are also 30,000 people standing in the rain, silently greeting the survivors of the Titanic......

The sinking of the Titanic shocked the entire Western world!

Flags were lowered at half-mast in many places on both sides of the Atlantic as a sign of silence.

King George V of the United Kingdom and President Taft of the United States exchanged messages of condolence, and even Kaiser Wilhelm II sent messages of condolence.

When the survivors arrived in New York, they were interviewed by many media outlets in an effort to get exclusive gossip from them.

However, the low-level civilians did not lose their humanity under the temptation of money, they did not pay attention to the media at all, and some people were annoyed by the entanglement, so they scolded the media for being unscrupulous and immoral.

They are still in grief, fear, and rejoicing that they have not come to their senses, and the media wants to use their pain to get newspaper sales? There's no humanity yet!

Before they disembarked, Astor and Guggenheim approached Russell and invited him to stay at home for two days, otherwise he would not have found a place to live in New York.

Russell politely refused, and he made it clear: "I'm still Mrs. Brown's security advisor, so I can't leave." ”

Astor and the others looked at each other and gave an evaluation.

"Professional!"

"Walker, I'll be there for you to open your security company in New York."

"Me too! Give me a message. ”

"Don't worry about the media, we'll leave everything to us, and everything will be made public in three days at the latest," Guggenheim said. ”

"What should the robbers say?"

Yin Xiduo smiled and said, "Walker, please rest assured that we will find the most powerful editor in the United States to write the article." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Seeing that he was leaving, Astor pulled his hand with some excitement and said solemnly: "Walker, I am very grateful to you for saving me, so we must keep in touch often, we are not ordinary friends." ”

"Yes! Walker, don't be polite to me in the future, our relationship should be closer than brothers. Guggenheim said.

"Okay, when I finish Mrs. Brown's business successfully, I will open a security company, and invite you to my company for tea at that time."

"No problem."

The Guggenheim grimaced, "Walker, you know I'm not much of a fan of tea, and if you're going to order brandy, I'm sure you'll get drunk." ”

"Absolutely. See you nouveau riche. ”

Everyone laughed and waved their hands.

"See you later!"
