Chapter 99 Chapter 99 The Building is About to Collapse

*

"Open the door, open it wisely!"

Xiaodong had also recovered. He had been hit on the head with a club and was dizzy just now. Now he walked along the deck to the outside of the cockpit. He was no longer dizzy and his legs no longer hurt. He banged on the door with a machete in hand.

The special steel door cannot be broken open with a machete. Hitting and chopping it randomly only left a few invisible marks on the door.

He was stupid to begin with, and after being hit with a stick, he seemed to be completely dumbfounded. Zhou Jing looked at his incompetent and furious cousin, and waved his hands helplessly at him, "Brother Xiaodong over here, the door can't be broken open, we have to break the glass."

"Oh, okay." Xiaodong shook her head and followed Zhou Jing's steps closely.

Walking along the open deck, the bow is an inverted U-shape. Apart from a special steel door leading to the cockpit, the only opening is the clear and bright glass on the windshield.

The villagers who arrived in a hurry did not rush to take action. They stood on the open deck in the rain, looking solemnly at the window, the high-tech cockpit inside, and their hated enemy - Dong Hongbo.

Just across the window is the brain of Everleap.

Dong Hongbo and his three crew members were so focused on breaking out of the encirclement that they paid no attention to the cockpit and the water ahead. They paid no attention to the villagers who were attacking them from the side.

"Bang--"

A loud bang exploded from the side. The four people in the driver's seat shuddered and turned their heads to look over.

The tempered laminated glass shattered and was covered with dense spider webs, but it did not fall off like ordinary glass. Although it was cracked, it was still firmly fixed to the windshield by the laminated glue layer, like a piece of artistic snowflake glass.

The glass covered with spider webs blocked his view, and he couldn't see who was standing outside. But after all, it was still glass. Dong Hongbo narrowed his eyes and saw more than a dozen figures.

"Captain, it's the villagers. They are the ones who killed us!"

The panicked voice of the observer came, and Dong Hongbo raised his eyebrows, staring out the window with sinister eyes, and said without turning his head: "I'm not blind, I don't need you to remind me."

As if afraid that they couldn't see, one side of the glass was smashed. More than a dozen villagers moved to the side at the same time, stood in front of the other intact side of the glass, and raised their knives, axes, and sticks.

This provocative move did not make Dong Hongbo feel any fear. Instead, the gazes mixed with resentment made his scalp tingle, as if they were going to rush in and skin him alive and dismember him in the next second.

After just a few seconds of staring at each other, a chill ran up his spine and goose bumps instantly covered his arms. Dong Hongbo began to panic, and a crack appeared on his calm face.

"Bang! Bang! Bang—"

Knives, axes, sticks and clubs fell again, and the smooth and transparent glass was instantly covered with cracks.

The horrifying sound of smashing and smashing filled his eardrums. Dong Hongbo could no longer hold his composure. He kicked the back of the captain's chair heavily and said with gritted teeth, "Move! Move and shake them down! Don't hesitate. If you can't think of a way, just hit them. Are you waiting for them to come in and skin us alive?"

The first mate holding the rudder looked embarrassed: "But——"

"Stop it! What other choice is there? Damn it, take a gamble!"

Tempered laminated glass is extremely difficult to break. A group of people smashed it for several minutes before they managed to make a few holes in the glass.

The interlayer glue keeps peeling and can't be opened. You have to make a hole first.

Among the pile of knives, axes, sticks, only the axe is slightly useful, but there is only one. If you keep smashing it down, it will take at least half an hour to get into the driver's seat.

The longer the time went, the more variables there were. Just when everyone was at a loss, Gu Mengran walked through the crowd with a black pointed hammer and smashed the glass with all his strength.

Choosing the right tool can make things easier. A small pointed hammer can instantly create a hole in the tempered laminated glass that cannot be broken by a knife or an axe, and the debris will fly everywhere with a loud bang.

It was much more convenient with a hole. The axe was used to dig along the edge of the hole. Everyone took turns to work. After a while, the fist-sized hole gradually became the size of a head.

Such a small hole held so much hope. The exhausted villagers were suddenly energized and sped up their hammering, each of them full of energy.

Just as everyone was working hard and immersed in the joy of success, suddenly, another loud noise came from the front. The cruise ship, which had been stable for a long time, seemed to be reconnected to the power supply. The hull shook violently and tilted sharply to the right.

Unlike the previous shaking, the Ever Leap seemed to simply tilt to the right, and the deck under foot turned into a 20-degree slope in seconds.

The rain continued to wash the deck, making it slippery and impossible for people to stand steadily on it. The villagers grabbed the window frames and tried their best to steady themselves, but their bodies slid uncontrollably to the right, and they retreated to the guardrail one after another.

Fortunately, the guardrail on the driver's side had not been tampered with. A group of people held on to the guardrail tightly, with looks of horror on their faces.

Is it coming again? Is it starting again?

The shadow cast by the "roller coaster" not long ago has not yet dissipated, and the "swinging hammer" seems to have pressed the start button again.

“Bang—”

There was another loud noise, and the ship shook violently.

The fear in the villagers' eyes grew stronger and stronger, while Gu Mengran and Liang Zhao grabbed the guardrail and turned around with difficulty, looking towards the water with worry on their faces.

Those who have sailed on ships know that when a cargo ship tilts 15-20 degrees, it is already very dangerous. This angle is called the roll angle. If it cannot be adjusted back in time, the Ever Leap will capsize and sink.

Gu Mengran's heart was in his throat. He was not concerned about the life or death of the Ever Leap, but the Feng Yi and Heng Rong Sheng in the same waters...

The turbid waves were surging. Gu Mengran lay on the guardrail and looked at the water through the hazy mist. He saw the Fengyi blocking the right side of the Ever Leap at a glance.

Grandpa and Zheng Yijie were obviously aware of the danger. The propeller submerged in the water spun rapidly, and the Wind Wing retreated at an extremely fast speed, moving out of the coverage area of ​​the Ever Leap little by little.

The Feng Yi disappeared from the sight, and Gu Mengran's heart sank back into his stomach. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a speedboat suddenly drove out in the direction where the Feng Yi disappeared, dragging a trail of white water, and headed towards the bow of the cruise ship without hesitation.

What is this doing? What role can a speedboat play in front of a cruise ship?

With their doubts yet to be resolved, the severely tilted Ever Leap gradually regained its stability. The villagers rushed to dig the hole again, but Gu Mengran did not participate. He walked towards the bow deck of Ever Leap with a lot of questions in his mind.

With an ominous premonition inexplicably welling up in his heart, Gu Mengran hurried to the bow deck, stretched his neck to look down, and seemed to be struck by lightning falling from the sky, and the whole person froze in place.

Heng Rong Sheng... Heng Rong Sheng collapsed.

Heng Rong Sheng capsized severely. In less than ten minutes, half of the ship was submerged in the water and it was completely capsized. Even the Great Immortal could not save it.

Fortunately, the cockpit door opened, and when the speedboat approached, a man wearing an orange life vest quickly climbed out.

Gu Mengran was originally still waiting for the others to come out, but as soon as Xu Xinghe climbed out, he immediately boarded the speedboat. He then realized that it was very dangerous for Heng Rongsheng to take the lead, and Xu Xingran and Xu Yuan might not be on the boat.

Let the ship sink, as long as no one is hurt.

Gu Mengran was worried and lay on the guardrail to watch for a long time. Only when the speedboat started again did he prepare to go back to help. At this moment, the speeding speedboat seemed to notice his presence and stopped suddenly on the side of Ever Leap.

Xu Xinghe, who had just boarded the speedboat, leaned half of his body out of the boat, cupped his hands like a trumpet, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Gu Mengran! Run, run!"

"You go first, we'll be there soon!" Gu Mengran responded to him.

Even though their own boat had sunk, they still cared about him. Gu Mengran couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. But before he could feel warm for two seconds, Xu Xinghe's voice rang again, bringing fatal bad news: "Don't wait for a moment, run quickly, there's a fuel leak!"

After saying that, the speedboat left in a hurry, leaving Gu Mengran dumbfounded.

Fuel leak? In the fuel tank of Heng Rong Sheng...

That’s thousands of tons of diesel!

Damn it! Gu Mengran cursed inwardly, without even having time to feel bad for the fuel. He ran all the way back to the right side windshield of the deck and hurriedly explained the situation to the villagers.

Hearing about the massive fuel leak, the villagers panicked for a moment, but after a brief hesitation, they continued to use knives and axes to dig the hole, with no intention of leaving.

The hole was already big enough that a smaller person could fit right in. Victory was within their reach, but they were unwilling to give up. Moreover, even if they wanted to run, they could probably run faster if they took the boat.

It would be impolite to persuade them any further, so Gu Mengran and Liang Zhao looked at each other tacitly, picked up their tools and joined the team.

The bigger the hole, the fragile the glass. After another two or three minutes, someone reached out and pulled, and half of the glass fell directly from the window frame with a "clang" and hit the ground.

The building was about to collapse. The sound seemed to have reminded Dong Hongbo that he didn't want the boat or the people anymore. Before the villagers broke in, he opened the door to the cabin, put on the grease, and ran away decisively.

As soon as the captain ran away, the morale was instantly emptied. The crew members who were concentrating on breaking out could no longer sit still. They ignored the Ever Leap which was still underway and dropped their ships one after another and ran away.

In a flash, Zhou Jing leaned against the window frame and flexibly jumped over, and in less than two seconds he entered the driver's cab smoothly. Without letting others follow him in, he leaned over to pick up the machete that had fallen to the ground, and opened the door next to the villager.

As the door opened, a group of people rushed into the driver's cab with great momentum.

Anger and hatred clouded his mind, and he completely forgot about the Ever Leap on the move. He didn't even notice the cuts made by the glass shards. Zhou Jing raised his weapon and shouted, "Chase them! Chase them! Catch them!"

"Kill them and avenge Uncle Liu!"

"Quick, catch up!"
