Chapter 106: Choice
A deck.
Originally, it was an area for passengers to walk, but now it is the only place of refuge.
More than 2,000 passengers, most of them women of prime age, could see the deep panic on their faces.
Rao with a woman's strong physique, in the sea breeze close to 0 degrees for half an hour, still shivering, the roots of the teeth chattering.
The captain stepped forward in time, she was a woman of nearly eighty years, her hair was half white and not black, her eyes were burning, and she was not in danger.
She pulled open the storage room in the corner of the deck.
A row of orange life jackets comes into view.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Under the premise that the lifeboat was completely destroyed, the appearance of the life jacket was like a life-saving straw.
"Look, it's a warm life jacket."
Someone explained loudly.
Warm life jackets.
Cheng Su has heard a little about this survival item.
It has a strong thermal insulation effect, and after wearing it, even if you fall into the icy ocean, you can lock in the heat of the whole body and not freeze into ice lumps in a short time.
However, the number of life jackets is limited.
Riots escalated in the crowd, and no one wanted to die in an accident.
They squeezed towards the cramped storage room, like a group of zombies who had seen raw meat.
"Ah......h
Stampedes occurred frequently, and the scene was screaming again and again.
"Bang bang!"
The captain took out a gun and fired it into the air, the piercing sound of gunfire echoing across the empty deck.
The passengers present seemed to have been immobilized, and briefly regained their composure.
"Please line up and receive a life jacket for each person!"
The first mate held a megaphone, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
Cheng Su followed behind the crowd, and at this time, in order to survive, they had lost the traditional virtue of courtesy to men regardless of the difference between men and women.
"Lin Yan ......"
Cheng Su shouted loudly.
He and Lin Yan were scattered by the crowd, and Cheng Suneng saw her receiving a warm life jacket and hurriedly draped it on her body.
"Knock ......"
One of the compartments of the giant ship collapsed, and the hull shook again, tilting more and more obviously, forming a 30-degree angle to the sea level.
Passengers on the edge stood unsteadily, falling into the ocean like dumplings, and the cries for help came and went, like purgatory on earth.
The overturning of the giant ship was imminent, and everyone rushed into the small storage room as if they were going crazy.
The life jacket was robbed, and by the time Cheng Su reacted, there was no one left.
However, this is also expected by Cheng Su.
…………
Lin Youcen's consciousness was always focused on Cheng Su, his eyes were lost, and he sat on the ground softly, looking at the noisy flow of people, his face at a loss.
With a slight lift, the giant ship shook again, and Lin Yan reappeared in Cheng Su's sight just like fate had arranged.
"Lin Yan ......"
Cheng Su's cheeks were pale, and his voice was extremely weak.
Lin Yan seemed to hear the voice, and when he turned his head, he clearly saw that Cheng Su was only wearing a suit, and there was no protection on his body.
He desperately moved to Lin Yan's side, hugged her tightly, and absorbed the heat emitted by the life jacket.
"I don't want to die ......"
Cheng Su said in her ear, but sure enough, Lin Yan didn't understand his hint at all.
Lin Yan patted him on the back.
"Don't worry, the rescuers will be here soon, you won't die."
…………
Time flies.
Half an hour later.
The hull of the ship flooded into the deep sea, and only a quarter of its volume floated on the surface.
"Boom ......"
The giant ship was broken in two from the middle, and the bow and stern were completely separated.
The stern of the water-filled ship slowly sank into the deep sea and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The only remaining bow was raised high, at a ninety-degree right angle to the water.
All the passengers have no place to stand.
They were dying, clinging to the hard objects around them.
But under the fierce blowing of the cold wind, they were quickly drained of their strength and fell into the ocean one after another.
Most of the passengers were wearing warm life jackets and their vital signs were stable.
Those passengers who did not wear life jackets, planks and cargo floating on the sea, became their only hope of survival.
Cheng Su hugged Lin Yan tightly and floated in the secluded and cold ocean.
A thin layer of frost formed on his cheeks, like a transparent mask.
Although there was a little residual warmth from Lin Yan's life jacket, this could only make him last for half an hour longer.
"Lin Yan, I'...... I'm so cold. ”
Cheng Su was full of acting skills and whispered softly in Lin Yan's ear.
"Hold on a little longer, and help will soon arrive."
Although Lin Yan was comforting, his voice was indifferent, and his face did not change.
"Hmmm......"
Cheng Su nodded heavily, but his eyes were extremely complicated.
"Are you really going to marry that man? Did your family force you? ”
He asked suddenly, looking serious.
Lin Youcen thought about it, she wanted to admit it according to Cheng Su's words, but then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she controlled Lin Yan to turn her head and say nothing.
Cheng Su's eyes immediately darkened, but soon raised a smile.
"You acquiesced! It must have been forced by your family, it must have been ......"
Lin Youcen looked at Cheng Su's eyes from afar, it narrowed slightly, firm and bright, in this biting cold wind, warm and moving.
She lost her mind for a moment, her inherent senses quietly changing.
"Hmph, when death is on the verge of death, I don't forget to be possessed by the drama spirit!"
Lin Youcen shook his head, and his face turned cold again.
Men are the most acting creatures, and the more handsome men are, the more so.
Lin Youcen seemed to think of the past, and a trace of resentment appeared on his face.
At this time, the sea set off a wave again, and a bag of goods rushed in, hitting Lin Yan's head fiercely.
"Hmm......"
Lin Yan was bleeding in his forehead, and he only had time to let out a low groan, and then he was completely unconscious.
And that's not all.
The buckle she was wearing around her waist collapsed at some point.
As long as Cheng Su exerts a little force, he can easily peel off the life jacket from her.
At this moment, the balance of fate is infinitely tilted towards Cheng Su.
Lin Youcen looked at Cheng Su with cold eyes.
In all fairness, if she becomes Cheng Su at this moment, I am afraid that there is a nine-in-a-nine chance that she will take off her life jacket from Lin Yan.
The man is gone, and he can look for it again.
But there is only one life!
At a time when her life was at stake, she could not be as self-sacrificing as Our Lady did.
"Lin Yan, wake up, ......"
Cheng Su shook Lin Yan in a panic, but not only did it not have any effect, but because of his actions, the signs of the life jacket falling off were more obvious.
He found that too.
So Cheng Su stared at the life jacket and fell into a short silence.
His lips pursed, and he looked extremely struggling.
One second.
Two seconds.
……
Lin Youcen waited for ten seconds, and finally found Cheng Su making a move.
He let go of one, slowly reached into the clasp, and held it tremblingly.
Finally, he still couldn't help it? At the juncture of life and death, no one will believe in love anymore, right? What's more, he and Lin Yan are not love at all, it can only be regarded as a fair deal. ”
But Lin Youcen continued to observe, but found that Cheng Su was not as she expected, unbuttoning Lin Yan's life jacket and putting it on herself.
Instead, he smiled again.
But this smile is a bit bleak in Lin Youcen's opinion.
