At this moment, accompanied by a dull and terrifying rumbling sound in the lower cabin, like an object hitting the bulkhead underwater, the hull suddenly shook and began to tilt to one side.
Li Wanwan and Lu Wenjun, no matter how spoiled and unruly they were, were just the daughters of the royal family who lived a life of luxury. They would fall into such a desperate situation when they went out today. This was a misfortune that they could never have imagined in their dreams. Just when Li Ze was here, they still had some hope. Now even this person who was usually the closest to them left them without looking back, leaving them in complete despair. The two hugged each other, huddled in the corner of the hatch that was not flooded with water, crying and closing their eyes, waiting to die.
Xuyu can swim, and she is quite good at it. When she was young, she often slept in the mountains with her grandfather. When the stream swelled, her grandfather taught her how to swim, just in case she got stuck and didn't drown immediately. In the past three years, she has lived in seclusion in the mountains of Luzhou. There is a pond near her residence, and she often goes there to bathe in the summer.
But this was the center of the lake, and the shore was just a distant, fuzzy black line. No matter how good she was at swimming, it would be difficult for her to swim to the shore on her own.
It would be impossible for her not to panic at this moment. She must have something to help her float. Not to mention, there were two girls in front of her who couldn't swim.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she didn't want to give up on them.
She rushed into the cabin she had just stayed in, hoping to find something floating that could support the three of them.
However, this cabin, which was built at a high price and was considered to be extremely luxurious, has now become a murder coffin. Doors, windows, desks, tables... Everything you see is sunken wood, all sunken wood!
As she looked around anxiously, there was another dull sound under her feet, which reminded her. She rushed out again and asked if the boatmen were moving down there.
Li Wanwan raised her tear-stained pale face and looked at her blankly, obviously not knowing what her question meant.
At this moment, Lu Wenjun was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath and had no reaction at all.
“Stop crying!”
Xuyu roared sharply.
The two girls shuddered at the same time. Lu Wenjun opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared at her blankly.
Xuyu told the two of them to hold on to the door frame and not slip into the water. Then, in their surprised gaze, she picked up a knife that had fallen on the deck, walked down the gangway that was now filled with water like a wellhead, took a deep breath, and dived down.
The upper deck of the pleasure boat was made of expensive fragrant wood, but the cabins below the deck should not be like that. They must be able to find suitable floating objects. The incident just happened suddenly, facing life and death, the situation was too anxious, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Everyone, including her, actually forgot that there was a cabin below.
The cabin was already full of water and the light was extremely dim. Only something could be vaguely seen near the ladder entrance. Looking further away, it was pitch black inside.
She tried to open her eyes and saw several oars and some tools floating in the turbid water of the corridor.
But these floating objects were too small to support the weight of three people.
The boat was about to sink completely. Once it capsized, not to mention Li Wanwan and Lu Wenjun, if she didn't get out quickly, she would also be buried here.
She found the hatch now. It was half open and looked like it was stuck.
