At about two o'clock in the morning, a giant cargo ship with red and green lights rushed over from the thick fog. This scene frightened several sailors who had just arrived at the ship's side.
At the same time, Princess Largoni sounded a long whistle to tell the other ship that the ship was turning to the right.
However, everything is irretrievable!
"pay close attention!"
With a burst of shouts from the retired military doctor Thor, the giant ship rushing out of the fog and its stern were inserted into the right side of the Largney Princess at an angle of 35°, and there were bursts of waves from the impact. There was a dazzling spark, followed by a harsh metal rubbing sound.
Several sailors standing on the side of the ship were instantly squeezed into meat, and the splashing blood immediately stained the deck.
"what!!!"
Facing the tragedy, the ballerina Lena let out a long, high shout, and the faces of the others were not very good-looking.
[The passenger ship Princess Largoni collided with the freighter Stoddode, the shipwreck started, and the 30-minute countdown began! 】
Just as the system prompt popped up, the door of the telegraph room behind Weizard suddenly opened, and a young man with messy hair ran out in a panic.
"My God! My God!!"
When the young man saw that the bow of a giant cargo ship was deeply embedded in the starboard abdomen of Princess Largoni, he let out a cry of mourning.
"Telegraph room?"
Weizard seemed to have thought of something, and he rushed in with a stride.
"what happened?"
Followed by the retired military doctor Sol, he asked anxiously: "Did you find any problems?"
"I'm looking for an amplified microphone!"
Weizard responded quickly while scanning the environment in the telegraph room.
"found it!"
On a table with a transceiver, Weizard saw an old microphone. Without any hesitation, he reached out and pressed the microphone's power button.
"Hello!"
Weizard's voice was immediately transmitted through the loudspeaker microphone.
"Attention please!"
"Attention please!"
"Don't go back! Please keep driving forward!!"
"Repeat... Don't go back! Please keep moving forward!!"
Weizard knew that the fatal impact that had just occurred had left a huge wound on Princess Largney. Once the other freighter retreats and pulls the bow out of the crack, the sea will rush in and quickly pour into Largo. In the Princess Niu.
However, the other freighter's reply was disappointing: "My ship has lost control and is going backwards! Sorry, I have nothing to do!"
With the shrill noise, the two huge ships finally separated.
"... You have done your best!"
Saul patted Weizard on the shoulder.
"I heard Wizade's voice outside... Sol? Are you here too? What are you two doing?"
At this moment, engineer Norton also walked into the telegraph room.
[Triggering a branch task: repair the transceiver and send out a distress signal. 】
[Do you accept this task? The player is asked to make a choice within 30 seconds, otherwise it will default to accept the task. 】
When Norton entered the telegraph room, the system popped up two information prompts again.
"What's the matter? I received a task reminder!"
The ballerina Lena and Father Joan also walked into the telegraph room one after another.
"Mr. Norton, please make your choice!"
The retired medic Thor said quickly: "Because of the five of us, only you have the ability to repair the radio."
"No! Now is the time to escape, how can there be time to repair some transceiver?"
Norton didn't even think about it, so he made a choice directly.
Seeing Norton's appearance eager to escape, several other people also gave up the triggered side mission.
[The players who participated in this trial task have all given up on the side task "repair the transceiver and send out a distress signal"...]
[Update of main mission content: survive at least 60 minutes]
[Quest difficulty update: from E+ to E++]
The task reminder that appeared again made everyone dumbfounded.
"Damn it! How could this be?"
Engineer Norton exclaimed angrily: "Isn't it just giving up an inexplicable side task? Why did it increase the difficulty of the task?"
"Well, it may be because this side mission is related to the subsequent shipwreck rescue..." Weizard said indifferently.
"Wizard! It's all on you!!"
Seeing Weizard's still lazy appearance, Norton became more and more angry: "If you didn't enter this room, why would I follow up? If I didn't come in, the mission would not be triggered... even less. The difficulty of the task has increased because of the abandonment of the task!"
Facing Norton's accusation, Weizard just yawned.
"It's finished? Let's go to the life raft together..."
"You...you you...huh!"
Norton pointed to Weizard's nose, but didn't know what to say, so he let out a cold snort, turned and walked out of the telegraph room.
When everyone walked out of the telegraph room one after another, various desperate crying, desperate cry for help, angry cursing... all over the giant passenger ship of the Princess Largoni, making people feel cold after hearing it.
Suddenly, the power system of the passenger ship was interrupted, and the entire ship was completely dark, with endless horror enveloping Princess Largney, and a bad luck was imminent!
It only took less than six minutes from the collision to the power failure of the passenger ship!
Tons of sea water poured into the cabin along the holes in the ship, and the icy water roared and whirled inside the Princess Largoni... The hull began to tilt to the right.
At this point, the situation on the ship couldn't be worse.
Many passengers cannot find the corridor to the upper deck in the darkness and chaos; there are a lot of people who have died in their sleep; and some people have become victims because of their slow movements. I spent a lot of time dressing and sorting out personal belongings, and death often rushed in before stepping out of the cabin door; some people were trampled to death in the dark.
In the end, there were only more than 300 passengers who arrived safely on the upper deck, accounting for only about one-fifth of the total number.
When Weizard and others came near the life raft, it was already surrounded by crowds!
Seeing this situation, engineer Norton immediately became anxious: "Let me pass! Let me pass! I want to get on the life raft!!!"
In the chaos, Norton desperately squeezed into a life raft, ignoring the others.
The ballerina Lena also took full advantage of her female identity to win the sympathy of the crew with a pitiful look... She also boarded another life raft.
"Go to hell! Fools!!"
Norton, who was sitting on a life raft in a descending state, suddenly stood up and yelled at Weizard and others: "Open your eyes and take a good look! Who is the fool?"
Perhaps it was happiness and sorrow. When Norton screamed, the Princess Largney suddenly shook and tilted to the right... The descending life raft swayed as high as a swing.
"Ahhh!!"
The passengers, including Norton, fell into the sea with a series of tragic screams.
Weizard, who stabilized his figure in the shock, squeezed away from the crowd in front of him, and when he came to the side of the ship, he held his hand guard and looked down, then shook his head.
"... Their luck is too bad! There happened to be a vortex (the vortex created when the ship was sinking) where it fell into the water..."
"It's definitely hopeless!"
