Chapter 84: Sinking, Cry of Despair
Two options.
Old E paused for a moment and his expression changed again and again.
Although he knew it was just a game, after experiencing death and despair, he subconsciously still looked towards the bright side.
What's more, the cries all around are still echoing in my ears.
It is so real, yet so helpless.
final.
He still followed the good intentions in his heart and pressed the second option.
Give up boarding!
Then he rushed to the location of other lifeboats without looking back.
However, no matter which lifeboat he came to, he found that it was already full of people, and the same two options popped up again.
Like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, it constantly tempted him to choose the first path.
“The designer definitely did it on purpose!”
"Every time a ship passes by, we have to choose one. This is clearly a test of human nature."
"If you choose to board the ship, someone will die in your place. If you don't board the ship, you will die yourself. How do you play this game?"
The live broadcast room was filled with discussions and people became nervous.
Some people advised Lao E to choose 1 and escape from here, because it was just a game after all.
But Old E seemed to be blind, running around the deck without saying a word, and every time he encountered an option, he directly chose the second one.
final.
When this half of the lifeboats finished running, they were all full of people.
If he wanted to get on the boat, he had to pull the people on it down, and he had such an impulse in his heart.
But he took one look at the mother and daughter huddled in the corner shivering on the lifeboat, and finally gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
At this time, the bow of the Titanic had sunk most of the way, with only the highest mast still above the sea.
The cold sea water poured into the bow along the edge of the ship, and the already chaotic scene fell into madness.
[No! Let me up! Let me up quickly! ]
[Get out of here! This boat is mine! ]
[I have money, I can give you all the money! ]
[Please, let me get on the boat first! ]
Passengers scrambled frantically for the lifeboats or climbed the ropes in an attempt to force their way onto the ship. Serious trampling and pushing occurred everywhere.
A large number of passengers were squeezed to the edge and fell into the sea with screams. The scene was extremely tragic.
Old E looked at the passengers who were going crazy in the face of death and knew that he had missed the best chance to escape.
Without stopping, he followed the pushing crowd and ran to the higher rear deck to see if he could survive until rescue arrived.
"It's so despairing that I can't bear to watch it anymore."
"Are they not all going to die here?"
"In the face of such disasters, human beings are too insignificant."
"If I were on the boat, I guess it wouldn't be much better."
"It's too late. The bow of the ship is about to sink."
With a cry of surprise from the barrage, the bow of the ship completely disappeared, and the surging sea water poured into the ship and rushed into the front cockpit.
The deck, which had already tilted to the point where it was difficult to stand, rose even higher, shocking all the passengers so much that they fled towards the stern.
Old E followed the crowd and came to the familiar deck.
A violin band was still gathered there, playing sad music.
None of them left, and they all stayed at their posts until the very end.
When passing by a cabin window.
Old E saw an elderly couple lying on the bed with their fingers interlocked, hugging each other, quietly waiting for death to come.
In another cabin, a mother was telling stories to her two children on the bed as usual, her voice soft and gentle, as if she was unaware of the sea water surging wildly under the bed.
This is the only thing they can do at this moment.
The silent picture makes the audience feel depressed and heavy as if there is a huge rock blocking their hearts.
And at this time.
The Titanic's stern tilted at an angle of more than 45 degrees.
The entire hull let out a series of dull wails, and the wooden boards and ropes in the middle began to break bit by bit.
"I feel like this cruise ship is going to break."
Old E, who was climbing up the fence with both hands, turned around and was almost frightened to death by the height difference in front of him. Even his breathing slowed down.
Next second.
There was a loud bang.
The cruise ship actually broke apart in the middle, and the stern deck, which had been lifted dozens of meters above the sea surface, fell back into the sea surface in a vertical fall.
“Fuck!”
Old E cursed, and the scene in front of him dropped rapidly.
The feeling was like riding a roller coaster without a seat belt. He fell into weightlessness for a moment, and the terrified screams of the passengers could be heard.
Boom——
The stern of the ship fell into the sea, creating a huge splash.
The passengers who did not have time to swim away from the sea were instantly thrown into the sea by this huge force, and the sea water was dyed red.
This is not over yet!
Just when everyone in the live broadcast room thought it was over.
The stern that fell back into the sea rose up again, and the broken part in the middle was actually pulled into the sea by the bow, causing the stern to rise up at an extremely fast speed.
The ups and downs made Old E's face turn pale. He held the fence tightly with his hands and dared not move at all.
From a distance, he could still see Jack and Rose, who had disappeared for a long time, hugging each other and clinging to the fence, but he no longer had the heart to pay attention to them.
The passengers next to them screamed in agony and fell into the sea as the ship tilted, until the entire stern was vertical above the sea.
"Damn! This is too scary!"
"This scene is too realistic."
"I don't dare to watch any more."
"There is no rescue, and there is no hope of rescue."
"how so……"
At this moment, the audience almost forgot to post comments and stared at the screen holding their breath.
They knew the outcome was certain, but they were still unwilling to give up hope, hoping that there would be a turning point at the last moment.
However.
They were doomed to be disappointed.
The stern of the Titanic only stood still on the sea for a moment before it was dragged into the sea by the bow, which had not yet completely separated .
And the speed is getting faster and faster.
Falling rapidly from a height of tens or hundreds of meters.
At this time, Old E was speechless.
I could only hold the control ring of the VR glasses tightly, feeling the weightlessness scene coming again and the sea level below approaching rapidly.
Finally, with a loud bang, the stern of the ship sank completely.
The surging waves instantly wrapped him up and he sank to the bottom of the sea along with the whirlpool at the stern.
The horrific scene reappeared.
No matter how he struggled, he was still getting farther and farther away from the sea.
at last.
The screen goes dark.
When the light came on again, there were only countless floating corpses frozen into ice sculptures on the sea surface, and a dead silence.
The theme song of the game - My Heart Will Go On - gradually echoed in my ears.
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the achievement: Deep Sea Sleep]
[Do you want to restart the story? ]
【yes】
【no】
…
Pop.
Old E took off the VR glasses on his head and leaned on the computer desk next to him to retch.
It can be seen that there is no blood on his face at this moment, just like those corpses that have been soaked in sea water and turned into ice sculptures.
Even some of the audience in the live broadcast room looked unhappy. I don’t know if it was because of the game plot or because they were dizzy from the grand scene just now.
I don’t know how much time passed.
After a trace of color finally returned to Old E's face, he sat back in his seat.
I opened my mouth to say something, but when the words came to my lips I didn't know where to start.
After struggling for a long time, he finally let out a breath.
"Damn it, broadcasting this game almost cost me my life."
"You've probably seen the content. It's up to you to decide whether to buy it or not. I won't say much more."
He no longer knew how to describe the shock this game brought.
Let the players choose for themselves.
