"The cruise ship ran aground—"
This sentence was like the doomsday bell. In an instant, screams could be heard everywhere, and everyone fled in panic. The scene became extremely chaotic.
But in just a few minutes, the originally fun cruise ship was replaced by fear and panic.
People were pushing and shoving each other in the corridor, and the scene suddenly became chaotic and disorderly, but the evacuation order was not given for a long time.
Ye Rong had a bad feeling in her heart.
Two-thirds of the crew of the Muse cruise ship are Reims citizens, and the nearby Connor Island also belongs to Reims territory. Now that the cruise ship has accidentally run aground, the captain will definitely send a distress signal to Japan.
No matter what, it shouldn't be such a chaotic scene.
There are at least three to four thousand people on this cruise ship. Even if there are enough rescue boats, such a chaotic situation is obviously very bad.
The direction of a cruise ship that has lost power is uncontrollable, and it may drift to more dangerous waters. If it encounters bad sea conditions, the cruise ship will sink faster, and it may have sunk before rescue efforts find it.
The wind was strong on the deck and it was still a little cold at night.
The moment the strange change happened on the cruise ship, Gu Wei took her to the deck outside.
At this moment, it was not that Ye Rong didn't want to go back and put on her rescue clothes, but the crowded crowd in front would become more dangerous, especially for Gu Wei.
This giant cruise ship is so huge that even if it hits a reef, it will take an hour or two to sink completely.
This period of time was enough for her to wait for national rescue.
Ye Rong did not doubt the rescue capabilities of the Reims government, but she trusted the people of Yu country more. Because of her trust, she was not afraid at all.
She did not hesitate, and her hand touched the platinum bracelet on her wrist inconspicuously.
The surging waves hit the cruise ship, and the hull was tilting more and more obviously. Not far away, people's screams and cries mixed together, and the running crowd had faces full of fear and panic.
Everyone knows that this huge cruise ship is vulnerable to the ocean.
In this situation, it is hard not to feel a deep sense of powerlessness, fear of death, and helplessness deep in one's heart. The whole picture carries a sense of doomsday tragedy.
Ye Rong knew that she must not panic or get confused, but after all, it was the first time in her life that she witnessed such a shocking scene, and it was difficult not to be affected by it, so she just acted as a pure bystander.
At this moment, the screen of Ye Rong's mobile phone lit up.
She lowered her head. It was a message from NSI headquarters.
[We are aware of the situation on the Muse cruise ship. Rescue is coming at full speed. If you see this message, please don't be afraid. The country will not leave any of its citizens behind.]
“……” In this situation, the shock brought by this sentence is incomparable.
On this cruise ship, in addition to her and Gu Wei, there are also NSI field officers who secretly protect her, Miss Xu Tong who she met on the cruise ship, and Zhao Rui and bodyguards who followed her and Gu Wei on board the cruise ship. In addition to those she knows, there are many foreigners on this cruise ship that she doesn't know.
Because for the country, no citizen can be left behind.
After Gu Wei gave a brief command, he looked up and saw Ye Rong holding her phone with her head down, pursing her lips, and her eyes moist. But soon, she returned to her usual appearance.
After just a moment, Gu Weibei withdrew his gaze.
"……velvet?"
Ye Rong, who had just calmed down, heard the voice and looked up. Seeing the blonde girl, he was a little surprised: "Alyssa?"
"It's really you!" Alyssa stepped forward quickly, "Great, you're okay."
She was a little worried when she learned from Mrs. Norman that Ye Rong was not feeling well and could not attend the dance, but she was a little happy to hear that she would come on the last day of the dance.
But in this situation, everyone was relieved to see that both of them were safe and sound.
Alyssa did not come here alone. She was followed by a tall white man who looked like a bodyguard from his appearance and posture.
Sure enough, Alyssa noticed her gaze and introduced: “This is my bodyguard, Ouyang. Thanks to him, I was able to leave the hall and come to the deck.”
Along the way, people's faces were filled with fear and panic. It was hard not to be affected by such emotions. Alyssa also felt powerless and afraid for no reason.
But at this moment, she suddenly saw Ye Rong in the crowd. In this chaotic scene, she and the young man beside her were particularly conspicuous.
Now looking at the two people in front of her, Alyssa's heart inexplicably calmed down a lot. She knew that her father would definitely send someone to rescue her!
So, Alyssa said, "Father, will you come with me later?"
Ye Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Then can I bring my companion with me?"
His companion, Gu Weibei, raised his eyelids and glanced at Ye Rong.
Alyssa looked at the handsome young man beside her and nodded: "Of course."
"Okay." Ye Rong responded, then turned her head to meet Gu Wei's gaze and smiled, "It'll be fine."
"..."Gu Weibei calmly withdrew his gaze.
Only Ouyang did not understand why these two chose to come to the top deck at the first moment in the chaotic situation. Although their response method was correct, they were too calm, which made him, a former soldier of the Reims, feel incredible.
The high seas are ahead. The cruise ship that has lost power may drift to more dangerous waters. If it encounters bad sea conditions, the cruise ship will sink faster. The cruise ship may have sunk before the rescue team finds it.
When people face death, their fear comes from energy.
But these two people were not pretending to be calm, which made Ouyang feel incredible. He did not have high expectations for the power of the Reims government, so when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately contacted his employer to send a helicopter for rescue.
Ouyang recalled the two people's previous behavior of holding their mobile phones. They probably also asked for help from the outside world, but the nearest land to here was Connor Island.
Even if the distress signal is sent out, is it possible for someone to arrive in time?
…
At this point, several NSI field staff who boarded the Muse as tourists just wanted to curse. They tried to communicate with the captain as tourists many times, but unfortunately, the captain was full of confidence and didn't listen to them at all.
Just when they were about to implement the second plan, the cruise ship ran aground.
After the accident, they learned from their colleagues that Gu Weibei had brought Ye Rong to the top deck, which made them feel relieved. After all, the crowd was in chaos, and Gu Weibei had difficulty with his legs, so the probability of him encountering danger in the chaos was relatively high.
Although they were not far from the top deck now, the chaotic crowd still caused a certain amount of resistance.
The cruise ship has already sent out a distress signal, and the Reims government should soon launch a rescue operation. However, in such weather and at night, the sea conditions will only get worse, and the difficulty of rescue will increase.
Fortunately, Ye Rong had a satellite positioning system on him, and their country's warships had also received orders and were rushing here at the fastest speed.
What makes people angry is that the captain of this cruise ship has not issued an order to evacuate the crowd, and I don’t know what the captain’s room has issued.
"Team leader, according to the direction the cruise ship is drifting now, the cruise ship will enter a dangerous storm area in 20 minutes, which may accelerate the speed of the cruise ship sinking."
"I'm in the captain's room, and you guys go to the top deck. Remember, your mission is to protect the citizens of our country first! Make sure Ye Rong and Gu Wei are safe!"
"Yes!" The three of them obeyed the order.
-
The night was as dark as ink and it began to rain. With the thunder and lightning and the chaotic screaming crowd, the doomsday atmosphere was instantly at its peak.
More people came to the deck one after another. They were all nervous and looked panic-stricken.
When we reached the high seas, the temperature dropped sharply. The sea breeze mixed with rain on the deck quickly raised the temperature of the surface of people's skin, and the perceived temperature suddenly went from midsummer to the beginning of winter.
Ye Rong was wearing a tulle dress. Although it had long sleeves, it was really super thin. There were slits on both sides of the shoulders, so the cold wind blew in. She could only rely on faith to keep warm.
Gu Wei turned his head and saw her fingers were white from the cold, so he took off his suit jacket and gave it to her: "Put it on."
Ye Rong turned around and saw that he was only wearing a shirt and a vest. After hesitating for a moment, he heard the other party say with a half-smile: "Your sniffling noise disturbed me."
"..." Ye Rong widened her eyes and retorted subconsciously: "Fairies don't have runny noses!"
Looking at the fairy who was frozen like a dog, Gu Weixiao laughed briefly. It was not a mockery, but she was really amused by the "fairy".
"..." I'm so angry, is this the ability to be single based on personal gain?
