Chapter 22 Some People Frantically Seek a Way to Survive, While Others Calmly Wait for Eternal Sleep
The plot continues.
Before Ruth boarded the lifeboat, she went back to rescue Jack who was locked up, and the two ran back to the deck.
At this time, the news that the cruise ship was about to sink spread, and the deck fell into chaos.
The passengers pushed and shoved each other in panic, scrambling for the lifeboat. Some even jumped off the deck and threw themselves on the falling lifeboat.
A woman fell into the sea in the chaos.
Screams, crying, orders, and gunshots intertwined and echoed in the night sky.
A man breathed rapidly and stood by the boat to say goodbye to his daughter and wife.
"It's okay, don't worry, dear."
The girl on the lifeboat cried, "Dad, come on up."
The man's eyes were full of reluctance, and he choked and said, "Dad will come to you in a while, in a little while, Dad will go to another boat, this boat is yours and Mom's. Hold Mom's hand tightly and be an obedient child."
Seeing this.
Vice President Li's eyes were a little sore.
His daughter is also this old.
In the face of disaster, as a man, he cannot take the place of children and women.
All he can do is to tell his daughter to hold his wife's hand tightly...
From then on, perhaps they will be separated by life and death.
His eyes gradually blurred, and he couldn't help sniffing.
Hearing his own voice, he suddenly came to his senses.
Wait, no, this is an advertisement shot by Lao Zhang.
As an opponent, how can he be moved!
Haha, he must be too emotional.
This movie won't be good!
Not good, not good at all.
He wiped his eyes, put on his glasses again, stared at the screen, and secretly prayed that this man could survive.
...
Under the gaze of Jack and Carl, Ruth got on the lifeboat.
She looked at the slowly descending cable and looked at Jack on the cruise ship, her eyes full of reluctance.
Such separation may mean eternal separation.
The flare soared into the sky, turned into white fireworks, and passed behind Jack.
Ruth's eyes gradually became firm. Instead of separating, it is better to face death together!
She suddenly stood up, jumped out of the lifeboat that countless people wanted to board, jumped back to the slowly sinking Titanic, and ran towards Jack.
There were sobs in the training hall.
Minister Sun in the last row burst into tears.
Where is the promised advertisement! Why let her watch a tear-jerking movie?
Damn... I believe in love again.
Woohoo.
She took out the tissues, but there was only an empty plastic bag left.
It's over, all the tissues are gone.
I guess after watching this movie, I will cry like a sad frog.
The lights came on, how can she face people? !
At this moment, someone next to her handed over a pack of tissues. When she looked up, it turned out to be Secretary Liu.
"Xiao Liu, thank you."
"You're welcome. Mr. Zhang asked me to prepare it. I guess many people didn't take it. He asked me to come and distribute it."
As he said that, Secretary Liu walked towards the next leader with a box of tissues.
He secretly sighed in his heart, Xiao Chen's film is really great, it can make Minister Sun's iron tree bloom.
The chairman was not as excited as them, just nodded lightly.
This love story is really touching and will definitely attract the attention of many ladies.
In the picture, the plot continues to advance.
Rose and Jack were chased by Carl. After escaping to the lower floor, they confronted the sea again.
Seeing that the sea water was about to flood their heads, they found the stairs to go upstairs.
However, the iron door was locked.
The cold sea water surged up quickly.
At this moment, a crew member ran from the other side of the iron door.
"Help!"
"Wait, sir, please open the door."
"Please, save us!"
The crew looked back, looked at the rushing sea water and the two people asking for help, took a step forward, and then retreated.
"Let's go!" He jumped into the sea water that was higher than his calf, took out the keys and tried them one by one.
The short-circuited circuit burst into sparks, and the sea water rose higher and higher, and in a blink of an eye it submerged the waists of the three people.
The crewman's hand trembled, and the key fell into the water.
Seeing the water flooding up to his chest, the crewman said with guilt and panic, "Sorry, the key fell." He turned and left.
In front of the screen, everyone stared at the screen in a daze.
Such a three-dimensional human nature.
Facing compatriots, risking their lives to save them.
Facing death, running away with guilt.
Is he selfish or selfless?
Neither.
This is human nature.
All adjectives seem one-sided and bland in front of human nature.
In the entire training room, no one was looking at their phones or working, everyone was staring at the screen.
Even the chairman, who had always thought it was a love movie, watched it with full concentration.
Unlike his work attitude just now, he watched it for interest and for humanity.
In the picture.
On the lifeboat deck.
The sea water was about to surge onto the deck, and there were only two lifeboats left, and the crowd was almost rioting.
A Murdoch screamed, "Anyone who crosses my path will be killed!"
Carl stepped forward, "We have an agreement."
Murdoch threw the bribe money in Carl's face, "Your money can't save you, nor can it save me."
The banknotes fell to the ground, but no one picked them up.
The scene became more and more chaotic.
In order to survive, a man rushed to the rope.
Murdoch fired, scaring the man away.
Another shot, and the man who spoke the most fiercely fell in a pool of blood.
The man's companion immediately hugged him.
"No! Tommy!"
"You bastard!"
"No! Tommy!"
Murdoch took two steps back and lowered his head in guilt.
He retreated to the side of the boat, saluted with his right hand, and pointed the gun at his temple with his left hand.
Bang.
He ended his life.
The people in front of the screen shuddered and their scalps numbed.
They could no longer feel anything.
They seemed to be the passengers on the boat who witnessed Murdoch's suicide after saluting, and they were only deeply shocked and sad.
...
The scene changed.
Jack and Rose walked through the chess and card room and tried to run to a higher place.
"Wait!" Rose stopped.
She took a few steps back and saw Andrew standing in front of the fireplace, looking at the clock sadly and guiltily.
Ruth asked hurriedly, "Mr. Andrew?"
Andrew said in a low voice, "Ruth, it's you."
Ruth: "Don't you want to escape?"
Andrew's voice was choked with guilt, "I'm sorry, the boat I built is not strong enough, Ruth."
He handed his life jacket to Ruth and said with a faint smile, "Good luck, Ruth."
On the other side, banker Guggenheim refused the life jacket, held his head high, "No, we are dressed up, I want to leave like a gentleman."
After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "I can have a glass of brandy."
Coincidentally, the captain also refused the life jacket, walked into the cabin, and waited for death.
In the panicked crowd, the band continued to play, playing the soothing "Close to the Sky".
In the long music.
Seawater poured into the cabin from the crack of the door.
Andrew looked at his pocket watch, turned the clock to the time when the ship was about to sink, closed his eyes, accompanied the cruise ship he designed, and waited for death.
In the first class cabin, an old couple lay on the bed, holding hands tightly. The old man gave his wife the last kiss of his life.
On the small bed in the third class cabin, a mother gently told a fairy tale to two five- or six-year-old children, "Then they lived happily together for three hundred years, in the Peach Blossom Spring, in the land of immortality."
The two children gently closed their eyes.
