Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 135

Many people got out of bed and stepped into the water. The cold feeling made them feel inexplicably frightened.

"What happened? Why is there so much water?"

"Oh shit! It's seawater! It's seawater! There's seawater coming in!"

"Get out of here! Go up!"

"Honey, where are you? Come back soon!"

The third-class passengers were in a panic and packed their luggage in a hurry. Some people ran upstairs, but found that the iron gate was locked. Because it was early in the morning, third-class passengers were not allowed to go on deck unless someone upstairs took the initiative to come down and discover the flooding problem and then open the iron gate.

Compared to the third-class passengers who were in a life-or-death situation right above the watertight compartment, the safer second-class and first-class cabins, as well as the cockpit above, only felt slight vibrations and shaking of the hull and had no idea what was happening.

"The hull shook a little. What happened?"

The guests sitting in the first-class banquet hall asked about it, and after learning that it was just a brush with an iceberg and nothing serious, they continued to drink tea and chat.

After feeling a slight shake, the first mate found that nothing happened and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling glad that he had made the right decision.

"what happened?"

Captain Edward returned from receiving his coffee, and the first mate replied respectfully, "It's nothing, Captain Edward. We just brushed past an iceberg. It's a minor incident. The problem has been resolved."

Captain Edward paused as he sipped his coffee. He raised his head, his white hair and beard gleaming, revealing his piercing blue eyes. "Did you hit an iceberg? Have you sent anyone down to check? Did the ship stop?"

Without waiting for the first mate to answer, Captain Edward immediately trotted out of the cabin. After discovering that the ship was still sailing, he shouted and gave orders to the boatman.

"Stop! Stop now!"

"Don't worry, Captain. I just gave the ship the command to turn hard to starboard. I guarantee that we didn't hit the iceberg. It's just a minor scratch at most!"

Hearing the first mate's confident answer, which really showed that he felt there was no problem, Edward felt dizzy and his sixty-year-old body was shaking.

"Oh, damn it! Send a rescue telegram! Say the ship is sinking! You, go to the cabin and check the watertight compartments and the boilers! Get the guests on deck and launch the lifeboats! Hurry! There's no time to lose!"

After doing all this, Edward finally had the mood to scold the first mate beside him, "Scratching past the iceberg, do you know what this means? - Oh, sixteen watertight compartments! I wonder how many will be breached by the iceberg! I hope not more than three. Also, continuing to sail will only speed up the backflow of seawater! The ship will sink faster! You idiot!"

Chapter 76 [Sinking Ship] 10

Edward regretted it so much. Who would have thought that such a big thing would happen just when he poured a cup of coffee? The cost of this cup of coffee was really too high!

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the brightly lit deck was filled with guests who had no idea what was going on. They were mainly in first and second class. The third class was further down and the crew still needed to get the keys.

When Captain Edward announced that the Titanic was going to sink and everyone had to evacuate as soon as possible, most of the passengers did not believe it. After all, the ship was calm and nothing was wrong.

Only Feng Lan knew that starting from the iceberg, there were only two hours left before the sinking of the Titanic.

Now, at the beginning, when the sea water has not filled the bow and the weight of the hull is relatively balanced, the sinking speed is of course very slow. Later, when the bow is completely submerged by water and the balance is broken, the remaining time will be terrifyingly fast, and there will even be a whirlpool. Now is the best golden time for rescue.

Looking at the passengers on the deck who were not in a hurry to line up, I just felt curious.
