Chapter 606: The cruise ship ran aground

Views:

A huge shock came, and the staff member leading the way almost fell to the ground due to the shock.

Fortunately, Nie Cai caught him in time and avoided the fate of falling.

"what happened!"

Nie Cai's face darkened, and a very bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

I originally thought that this cruise trip had been settled and there would be no more accidents, but unexpectedly something changed now.

"It seems to have hit a rock... But we have been traveling this route for several years, how could it have hit a rock? I don't know what happened..."

The staff member was trembling and seemed very frightened.

Running aground refers to a ship hitting a reef while sailing. It is almost the second most serious accident after collision. This kind of accident is a nightmare for every crew member.

In 2012, the Costa Concordia, also a luxury cruise ship, ran aground and sank. There were 4,232 passengers on the ship at the time, and at least 32 of them died, including 4 passengers and one crew member.

Just think about it. It is difficult to evacuate such a large cruise ship carrying thousands of passengers. If the passengers step on it, it will cause a lot of casualties, not to mention that if there are no other ships nearby to rescue, it will be What a tragedy.

"How could it be possible that it ran aground? And at this juncture?"

Nie Cai looked a little serious and said with a serious face.

Modern large cruise ships are positioned through satellite navigation. No matter how bad the weather is, they will not deviate from the route and hit the rocks.

What's more, there was at most some wind and waves outside, and it was far from being considered bad weather.

He had a vague premonition in his heart, and he and Wu Chao looked at each other, and both of them could see the worry in their eyes.

"Hurry up and lead the way. Take us to the cockpit of the cruise ship and ask us what happened!"

Nie Cai said in a deep voice. This time, he no longer cared about the staff member's feelings. He grabbed the staff member and rushed forward like a chicken!

Several people rushed all the way, only to see all kinds of panicked passengers along the way.

Even the crew members were confused. Their communication system was nearly paralyzed. They had no idea what was happening and how to maintain order without anyone commanding them.

The entire Ocean Neutron cruise ship is in chaos and the situation is very critical!

Under the guidance of the staff, Nie Cai quickly arrived in front of the cockpit.

In front of the cockpit, the second officer Robert kept banging on the door with a panicked look on his face.

He was all wet, just holding a towel draped over his shoulders, and his face didn't look good.

"Second officer, what happened?"

The staff member saw the second officer Robert and asked quickly as if he had met the backbone.

On the ship, apart from the captain and first mate, Robert, the second mate, has the highest position.

In this case, only he can make the decision.

"I don't know what happened. The captain and first officer are in the cockpit, but the cockpit is locked inside and I can't get in!"

The lifeboat Robert was in was stepped over by 004. Although he did not fall into the sea, he resolutely jumped into the sea to save people in order to help the crew members who fell into the sea.

After he was almost rescued, he returned to the cruise ship, but when he was about to take a shower and change clothes, he encountered the impact just now.

No, he didn't even have time to change his clothes before he hurried to the cockpit.

"Locked? There must be something weird inside, let me come!"

Nie Cai frowned, walked forward and said.

"It's useless. The safety protection of this cockpit is very tight. It uses a security door like a bank..."

Robert smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said.

"In an emergency, the only option is violence."

But before he could finish his words, he saw Nie Cai's hand already on the door lock, and then he let out a low shout, secretly vomiting out his strength!

boom!

There was a muffled sound, and the safety door made of thick steel plates was deformed by Nie Cai's palm. Various parts inside fell to the ground with a clang, jumping around.

"How is this possible? Who are you..."

Robert's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

Is this still a human being? Such a thick steel plate can be penetrated with one palm

Who are the people on my ship? There is a woman who can overturn the ship with her kick, and there are also people who can open the safety door with one palm. These people are simply beyond the understanding of normal people.

"Come on, let's go in together."

Nie Cai had no time to explain to him, so he kicked open the completely deformed security door and rushed in.

The spacious cab was empty. According to theory, there should have been cruise ship staff on duty around the clock.

But now these on-duty personnel are gone, and there are only two people in the cab sitting on chairs in front of the console.

One of them, an old man with gray hair and black-rimmed glasses, turned back, pushed up his temples, and said calmly: "Robert, it's you, are you here?"

"I didn't expect them to come so quickly, Captain Lane."

Another middle-aged man in uniform frowned and said.

"Captain, first mate, what on earth are you doing!"

Robert couldn't help the doubts in his heart and shouted loudly: "The bow of the ship was hit by a reef. It is estimated that the several sealed cabins in the front have been damaged. Please isolate the sealed cabins immediately and use the fastest speed to seal the stern." Fill the cabin with water, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Haha, Robert, you are a good man."

Captain Ryan stood up with a pale face, and then said: "You should leave in the lifeboat. In this case, you might still survive. We deserve death, why do you bother to accompany us like this?" What about death for sinners?”

"Sinner? You mean..."

Robert took a breath of air, suddenly understood something, and exclaimed.

Ever since he hit the rocks, he had always had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and now this feeling was even stronger.

"Yes, we deliberately sank the ship. We will probably become sinners throughout the ages."

Ryan smiled bitterly and said: "But what can be done about this? The Red Skull's people have controlled my family and the first mate's family, and have given us a lot of money over the years. Now we are tied to them, one Orders can force us to do such unscrupulous things... "

"Captain, no... was this all caused by your own hands?"

Robert could hardly believe his ears and murmured.

He thought there was some malfunction that caused the cruise ship to deviate from its route and hit the rocks, which led to the big accident.

Unexpectedly, all this was not caused by a malfunction, but by Captain Ryan and the first mate. This is simply unacceptable!
