Chapter 83 Two choices

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Seeing that the restrictions on first-class flights were lifted, the live broadcast room instantly became agitated.

Although they had expected that the plot would be triggered, they did not expect that it would be in such a tricky way.

But no matter what, this is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for game exploration.

Lao E was sure that among all the anchors who accepted the promotion of the game, he was definitely the first to figure out this secret, and he immediately felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"I can finally go to first class, there are still three days left!"

Time was running out, so Lao E didn't say any more nonsense and immediately rushed back to the cabin to rest.

After a night.

He hurried out and followed the instructions through the dedicated passage into the first-class area.

Before entering, there is a scene where you pick up props and change clothes in the cloakroom.

However, for an experienced player like him who has been picking up trash in the game all year round, this operation is not difficult at all.

Soon he changed into a suit and came to the central dining room of the first class cabin.

"Wow, is this where the upper class eats?"

“Even the restaurant is so exquisite.”

“There is a skylight above the head, which is really luxurious.”

"The modeling, the music, and the atmosphere are all there."

"You told me this was on a ship?"

During the short transition, the audience couldn't help but marvel.

What kind of restaurant is this? It is simply more luxurious than any villa they have ever seen, and it is completely in the same sky as the crowded second-class cabin.

However, Lao E is not here to eat.

After looking around, I didn't find Jack and Rose, so I walked directly into the restaurant and wandered around.

At this time, a large number of nobles were gathering around the table, chatting, drinking red wine, and saying all kinds of compliments and politenesses that even they felt were meaningless.

It's like a fake party.

But here.

He still saw a lot of familiar faces.

Several important characters are also gathered in this restaurant at this time, which is a good time to collect information.

As expected, when he passed by a man who looked like a captain, a conversation suddenly rang in his ears.

[So, you haven’t lit the last four boilers yet?]

[I don’t think it’s necessary, our speed is already very fast now.]

[No, no, no, now that the press already knows the specifications of the Titanic, I want to impress everyone with its speed. We must give them something new to report.]

[Mr. Ismay, until the engines are in order... I don't want to challenge their limits.]

[Of course, I'm just a passenger and the decision is up to you, but if we can arrive on Tuesday night, all of them will be shocked, and it will even be in the morning newspaper... Before you retire, you can make a great mark, retire with honor,

Isn’t this nice? Captain.]

The conversation paused here.

The character called the captain was silent for a while, and finally nodded silently, as if he agreed to the other party's proposal.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! It means that the engine has not yet entered the state and the speed is increased to the maximum, right?"

Old E, who was just listening out of curiosity, was startled and seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter.

The audience in the live broadcast room also reacted when they heard this.

"Damn it, it turns out this old boy is causing trouble!"

"I thought someone blew up the engine room."

"So the ship sank because the engine was overloaded and exploded?"

"Sure enough, the important clues are hidden in the first class cabin."

Collecting such important information as soon as he arrived made Old E even more excited and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation throughout the restaurant, completely forgetting about the dinner party with Jack and Ruth.

When he came back to his senses, there was no trace of the two people, and he didn't know where they had wandered off.

But Lao e doesn't care.

I spent three days in a row in the first class cabin, exploring various places.

And I was lucky enough to hear a conversation among the crew when passing by the captain's cabin.

Because other ships sent messages from time to time to remind them to pay attention to the ice floes, the correspondent quarreled with the other ship, and then angrily turned off the communication equipment.

There are also things like employees being negligent during shifts, locking the telescopes in cabinets and not being able to take them out, and the number of lifeboats not being enough to accommodate everyone.

In short, there was a lot of scattered information, which made Lao E vaguely aware that something was wrong.

Seeing the day of the shipwreck approaching, he became more and more anxious and eager to find a solution.

"By the way, those three room numbers mentioned on the dock before!"

Suddenly, Old E thought of something and quickly changed direction and found the three rooms in Area B of the first class cabin.

I tried it, but found that the rooms were all locked and there was no way to get in.

"Did I remember it wrong? Or did I come at the wrong time?"

Old E looked puzzled and passed by the windows.

But when he walked outside the third room, he discovered that Jack, who had disappeared for many days, was actually inside.

At this time, he was leaning on the sofa with a drawing board and drawing something, but he couldn't see clearly.

"Forget it, it's important to look for clues, there's nothing interesting to see."

Anyway, I couldn't get in, so I didn't stay long.

I just took a quick glance and turned around to leave. I walked around the boiler room and engine room on the ground floor.

But no matter how he looked, the engine didn't look like it was about to explode. It had been running normally at high speed for several days.

On the contrary, he heard that there were guards arresting people at the cargo warehouse, but he didn't go there because they were too far away.

When he returned to the upper level again, it was completely dark.

And tonight is the day the ship sinks!

"We can't stay in the cabin any longer."

Old E is well aware of the consequences of staying in the cabin tonight.

Seeing that there was not much time, I hurriedly evacuated and came outside the deck before closing the gate at night.

Unexpectedly.

Not long after we came out, an alarm bell suddenly sounded from the direction of the bow of the ship, and an anxious cry was heard.

【Iceberg! There is an iceberg ahead!】

iceberg?

Old E was shocked and immediately controlled the character to run towards the bow of the ship.

But the scene in front of him frightened him to the point of standing on end.

Directly in front of the ship, an iceberg several times larger than the ship's hull was seen floating on the sea, approaching them at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

It's like a terrifying giant beast crawling on the sea.

"I'm super ice!"

"No, the speed is too fast and I'm going to hit you!"

"So the previous shipwreck was not due to engine load, but because it hit the ice!?"

"I see, being fast is just one of the main reasons!"

As if in response to the audience's suspicions, just as the crew urgently changed direction, there was a "bang" on the right side of the bow of the ship, and it hit the iceberg hard, causing the entire hull to shake violently.

That familiar scene finally reminded Old E of the explosion he heard when he died for the first time, which was exactly the same as this impact.

That is to say.

The ship sank after hitting this iceberg.

It's not an overload of the engine!

But even if we know the truth, it's too late now.

Game time is much faster than real time.

After a period of silence, the hit Titanic's bow began to gradually sink, and the water level continued to overflow the bottom hatch.

It didn't take long for the first-class passengers to rush out under the leadership of the crew. They were no longer as elegant and dignified as before, and they all ran towards the lifeboat like crazy.

The whole scene was chaotic, with screams everywhere.

Old E could even hear the cries of the second-class passengers trapped underneath, and his heart trembled.

Because he knew that most of the people here would be buried in this cold sea.

"Go and have a look at the lifeboat first!"

Finding that he could not break open the iron door of the second-class cabin, he made a decisive decision, turned around and rushed towards the deck where the nobles gathered.

In the distance, you can still hear the captain's first mate shouting.

[Quick, women and children get on the boat first and lower the lifeboat!]

The voice fell.

Old E also came to a full lifeboat.

As soon as I got closer, two options suddenly popped up in front of me.

[Option 1: Forcibly board the ship to seize other people’s chance of survival. 】

[Option 2: Give up getting on the ship and give the chance of survival to others. 】
