The crew member explained anxiously, "Sir, Madam, I don't have time to joke with you. The ship is really going to sink. Hurry up and put on your life jackets and escape! Listen, people outside are scrambling to get on the ship!"

"Puff!!!"

The crew blew the whistle hanging around their necks and shouted: "The ship is sinking! Please put on your life jackets immediately and go to the deck to take the lifeboat!"

"Dong dong dong!"

"Puff!"

"The ship is sinking! Please put on your life jackets immediately and go to the deck to take the lifeboat!"

...

This crew member acted out the feeling of thousands of troops by himself. As each cabin door was knocked, people all rushed to the deck.

On the deck, there were already loud quarrels and screams.

This is the sound of escape.

Qili felt that the floor under her feet was shaking, and it was really going to sink!

If the ship sank, would she sink with it?

Damn it!

She was obviously on a normal ship, why did she suddenly become like this?

The crew member had already arrived in front of Qili and threw a life jacket to her.

"Madam! Why are you still here? Hurry up and put on your life jacket and run away!" The white man frowned and said more anxiously. He also leaned close to Shi Ran's ear and whispered, "There are not enough boats. Get on the boat first to survive." Go quickly!"

With that, the white male continued his notification work.

The huge shaking of the ship's hull, as well as the panic and screams coming from all directions, had already made everyone on the ship wake up and realize what was happening.

They scrambled to grab life jackets and rushed to the deck.

Fortunately, there are enough life jackets, but not enough life boats!

There was no other way, so Qili could only follow the crowd and run to the deck. The place where the lifeboat was was already crowded with so many people that Qili couldn't squeeze in at all.

And these people really don't look like ghosts.

But the ship they were traveling on was so dilapidated and looked like a ghost ship that had been corroded for many years. Did they not realize anything was wrong at all?

Qili was fighting in her mind. The hull of the boat had begun to tilt, getting closer and closer to the water. The air was very cold. She rubbed her bare arms. The temperature now was at least below zero.

If she couldn't get on the lifeboat, she would definitely freeze to death!

But there are so many old, weak, women and children here who haven't boarded the boat. Where did she get her face?

And if these people die.

Will it be counted as a strategy copy failure?

"Qili!"

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Qili turned around and it was Bert.

Bert looked at Qili with a surprised look on his face, and took off his cashmere jacket and put it on Qili.

"Follow me, I'll find a way to get on the boat."

With that said, Bert took Qili's hand and walked to the deck on the other side.

This corner is quiet, with few people.

Lawrence had already boarded the ship, as well as several wealthy businessmen, engineers and designers whom he had met in the banquet hall. The first mate was directing them to board the ship.

"Mr. Bert, get on board quickly." The first mate urged anxiously.

After a while, he was discovered by others. It was not known whether they could get on the boat.

There are more than 3,000 people on board the Prometheus, and the lifeboats can carry up to 1,000 people.

In other words, no matter what, more than two thousand people are destined to die.

Qili broke away from Bert's hand and stepped forward to question Lawrence, "You clearly knew that a large number of suspended icebergs were moving south, why did you hide the report?"

Lawrence looked flustered, his eyes filled with disbelief, and then stared at Qili nervously, "How did you know?"

"What is your purpose? Did you plan the shipwreck?" Qili continued to question.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lawrence in disbelief.

They also didn't want to believe that Lawrence did this deliberately. The sinking of the ship would not do him any good.

However, he concealed the report of the iceberg moving south, and allowed the ship to move forward at full speed, causing it to hit the iceberg and the ship was about to sink. This is a fact.

They also wanted to hear his explanation.

"You're talking nonsense!" Lawrence became even more flustered, his hands trembling.

"What's your explanation?" the first mate also asked Lawrence.

Lawrence is the general manager of the shipping company. Their company spent a huge amount of money to build the Prometheus. It is unprecedentedly luxurious and can be said to be a miracle in the history of world industry.

Lawrence's eyes were panicked, "It's not what you think. There are icebergs on the sea every year at this season. I didn't want to hide it deliberately, I just felt there was no need to bring it out. This should have been expected a long time ago."

After hearing this, everyone still frowned.

But it seems that this is indeed the case. To avoid icebergs, the only way is to rely on the lookout and the captain's navigation experience.

It's just ridiculous, pity, deplorable, pathetic, and hateful that the Prometheus's first voyage ended with it sinking to the bottom of the sea.

And it sank to the bottom of the sea with so many lives.

"Stop talking so much, let's get on the boat first." Bert pulled Qili, and he boarded the boat first, then opened his hands to Qili, moved his lips and said, "Qili, come here. "

Qili looked hesitant, she was not sure if she could go up.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!!"

The ship continued to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Now, the deck is only more than ten meters away from the sea.

It is an indisputable fact that this ghost ship is about to sink.

Qili pondered the pros and cons in her mind.

This ship is indeed a ghost ship. Although these people don't look like ghosts, isn't it strange that they appear on a ghost ship and are not aware of anything unusual?

Qili decided to get on the boat.

It is more important to save your own life first.

No matter if you clear the level normally, if you die, your national fortune will be reduced.

So Qili put her hand on Bert's and used his strength to get on the boat.

The first mate directed these people to lower the ropes and slowly lower the ship to the sea.

"left!!!"

"Quick right!!!"

"good!"

"put!!!"

A few minutes later, the lifeboat reached the surface, and they slid the oars to steer the lifeboat away from the Prometheus.

Along the way there were lifeboats full of women and children, rowing desperately.

Under the starry sky, the dark sea witnesses these life and death, selfish, hypocritical, ugly and kind.

After rowing the boat to a safe place, everyone stopped rowing and turned to look at the ghost ship that was about to sink.

First, the bow of the ship sank into the sea first, and the stern of the ship was raised high. Then, along the crack in the middle, the stern of the ship broke off, and was slowly pulled by the bow of the ship, and sank together into the vast sea.

People who were far away from that area could not hear the cries for help, shouts, and screams over there. They only saw the calm sea like a giant beast that was eating quietly, quietly carrying the huge ghost ship and all the people who fell off the ship. Swallowed.

Qili looked at the vast sea.

Has she cleared the level?
