The middle school teacher drank the last drop of water. It was thanks to the widow's early death. Otherwise, if the two people shared the food and water equally, both of them would have died.
It’s almost death.
She looked weakly at the lights outside.
The fourth floor is the lowest level, followed by the cargo hold and power compartment.
No one cares about the lowest level.
A middle school teacher’s lifelong dream of traveling on a cruise ship finally shattered along with the ship.
She looked at the people who happened to pass by, only once or twice a day.
She didn't know that just now, someone had taken her place and enjoyed the song "Butterfly Lovers". The old lady suddenly woke up and her breathing became much smoother.
"Ellen. Ellen..." the middle school teacher shouted with the last bit of her strength.
Not only was the voice too low, but there was no response from Ellen.
……
It's already broad daylight.
The strong wind shows no sign of letting up, the heavy rain has been falling for two days and two nights, and the huge waves are still coming towards us like a mountain.
The huge cruise ship became very small, like a leaf floating in the sea.
The power of the cruise ship was only used to resist the impact of huge waves. According to satellite positioning, the cruise ship not only did not move forward, but retreated a lot.
The first mate was already ill and was sent to the hospital first.
The captain has not slept for two days and two nights, staring straight ahead. To be honest, he just wanted to fulfill his duties, the captain's duties.
The captain's duty is not to sink.
He predicted that it was only a matter of time.
Two of the six boilers were damaged. If any more boilers were damaged, the power of the ship would basically be reduced to zero. Then there is no need to assume that it can withstand wind and waves. There is no doubt that large waves will hit from the side and capsizing will basically become a fact.
.
The boat must face the wind and waves.
8 of the 12 mechanics fell ill, and the remaining 4 could only guard the other four boilers, adjusting the pressure at any time and trying not to expose them to excessive pressure.
Eight sick mechanics are in the hospital, arrangements have been made, and Liu Miqiao gives them priority to give them Tianlai needles.
However, due to their serious condition, they will not be able to return to work within 3 days.
……
The headquarters responded with a message.
Chunpu is still in isolation and has no health problems.
As for Ellen, she did not find this girl.
"Ask Chunpu!" Liu Maqiao shouted angrily.
He told Chunpu, how could he not fulfill his promise?
Half an hour later, I received a message back. Chunpu said that Ellen was not found. It was not that he did not fulfill his promise, but he went to her cabin in person. There were only two women in there, not Ellen.
Liu Muqiao was stunned.
He always thought that Ellen had left safely, but unexpectedly, there was no news from her at all.
Ellen is missing. The most likely thing is that she is dead. Some of the dead people are left in the morgue behind the hospital, and some are in the original room.
"I want to find Ellen!"
Liu Miqiao suddenly stopped the Tian Lai Needle.
He stopped doing it!
He wants to find Ellen.
"No, if you don't do it, these people will die!"
"I don't care! I want to find Ellen!"
"We can help you find it. You stay and help the first mate make Tianlai needles and a few mechanics. They can't die. The ship still needs them."
Yes, without them, the ship would have been moored in place, and then, a huge wave would have hit from the side, and the cruise ship would have capsized in the ocean.
"I don't care!"
Liu Muqiao quits!
He is angry!
He was also very aggrieved.
He had saved so many people, but, he thought, Ellen, the only one he had the absolute motivation to save, had not been treated.
He was angry, hated Chunpu, Q, and Fuoqi.
He suddenly hated everyone on the ship, including himself.
Isn't this stupid?
After seven days and seven nights, he had sacrificed so much, and suddenly found that the person he wanted to save could not be found, and even the body was missing.
What could be more angry than this?
He strode towards the outside of the hospital.
"Stop him!" Fuoqi said loudly.
No one stopped.
Because everyone found that Liu Miqiao was too angry and no one dared to mess with this person.
"Let's go find it for you!" Fuoqi changed his strategy, "Everyone who can move should go find it!"
Where to find it?
The fourth floor, cabin No. 99, has been searched for a long time ago. There is only one seriously ill patient and a dead woman.
"Go to the morgue and look for it!"
Liu Muqiao walked down from the 17th floor.
"Save me! Save me!"
Hearing Liu Muqiao's footsteps, desperate shouts came from the cabin.
There are more than 2,000 patients, and the other 1,000 are not sick yet but are already sick from fear. To be honest, at this moment, no one knows who is sick and who is not.
It would be more accurate to say that everyone is sick.
"Save me, I have money, 200,000, and I owe you 300,000 first, and I will definitely repay you double." Someone was lying at the door begging.
"Save me, I have gold bars and gold coins."
……
There were pleas everywhere.
There are desperate looks everywhere.
Liu Muqiao passed by numbly, without looking back.
Finally arrived at the fourth floor.
"Ellen! Ellen! Ellen..." Liu Miqiao shouted eagerly.
"Liu Mu Qiao, I'm here..." Ellen's voice was so weak that even she doubted whether she could hear it.
One is calling and the other is answering.
Ellen has already seen Liu Miqiao's feet.
However, Liu Muqiao never noticed Ellen lying on the dark ground.
"Ellen. Ellen..." Liu Miqiao's voice became farther and farther away.
Ellen is desperate.
Liu Muqiao went forward.
"I'm here!"
Ellen burst out the last bit of strength.
Liu Muqiao was stunned.
He heard it.
He did seem to hear it.
"Ellen?"
"..."
"Ellen! Where are you? I heard your voice!"
"..."
Liu Muqiao turned around, shouting and searching.
"Save me."
"Save..."
There are people alive in every cabin, and they are begging Liu Miqiao.
Liu Muqiao did not stop.
He stood in cabin No. 99 again.
Ellen saw Liu Miqiao's feet again.
"Do you know where Ellen is?"
Liu Muqiao is asking the middle school teacher.
"..." The middle school teacher could no longer make any sound from his throat.
"Say, you should know where Ellen is."
"..."
"Is she dead?"
"..." The middle school teacher looked at him desperately. She didn't know that he was Liu Miqiao, let alone that Liu Miqiao could save her life.
"You say, you tell me, I promise to save you."
"..." The middle school teacher couldn't make a sound at all, and even had no strength to cough.
Liu Muqiao was also desperate.
He could no longer stand up and sat on the ground, mumbling to himself.
"Ellen is dead. I no longer want to save people. None of you can survive. I will never do Tian Lai Acupuncture again..."
Liu Muqiao stayed for a while, and suddenly his eyes met the middle school teacher's eyes.
This is a look that no longer cares about, a look that allows death to be ravaged. This look is like a needle piercing Liu Miqiao's heart.
This is a look more desperate than despair.
