[Titanic] I can't help myself

There was a very chaotic sound on the other side, followed by a loud noise. When we looked back, a large group of people finally broke through the defense of the crew and grabbed a lifeboat hanging on the top floor of the restaurant. They cut the rope and worked together. The lifeboat was pushed down from above, but turned upside down and buckled on the deck.

The victory over there encouraged everyone to snatch the ship, and the people around here became even more excited, but due to the pistols in the hands of the crew, no one dared to be too presumptuous.The crew members' eyes were red, their voices were so hoarse that they couldn't hear them, and they kept shouting: "Women and children, come here! Only women and children."

The sea water was rising faster and faster, and the sea level had already reached the ceiling of the next floor, and the distance from this floor was less than three feet.Looking back, you can see that the sea water is eroding upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"We brought a gun, Carl!" I reminded in a low voice, "If you can't do it, you can grab it."

"But they also have." Carl said, "If you can only grab it, you have to wait until the moment when there is chaos at the end, and the crew will not think about dealing with us at that time."

At this moment, Carl suddenly stretched his neck and looked around for something.

"What are you looking for?" I asked.

"I heard the baby crying."

I also listened carefully, and there was indeed a little girl calling her mother sadly.

Carl looked around and finally determined the source of the sound. He immediately searched in that direction, and finally found the child behind the base of the boom.That was a little girl who looked only five or six years old. Judging from her clothes, she should be a third-class child. She cried tears all over her face, and she didn't resist when Carl picked her up.

"I have an idea." Carl said softly.He held the child in one arm, pulled me with the other, squeezed past me again, and shouted loudly: "Here's a child!"

Squeezing in front of the crew members blocking the crowd, he pushed the child forward, put my shoulders in his hands and pushed me in front of him, and said urgently, "This child is his sister, and I am their uncle. Please let us aboard, their parents are dead, and I am the only support for these two children!"

The crew looked at the crying little girl and said hesitantly, "You can't go up. Your nephew and niece can."

"My nephew is only 15 years old!" Carl begged. "He is still in school. The siblings need my care! If I die, he will not be able to support this child. They have no other relatives!"

The crew is still hesitating. I think it may be our clothes, because his eyes turn around us, he may be thinking, how can such a well-dressed man not be able to support a little girl.

So I quickly begged: "I can't support her! My parents committed suicide after failing to invest. We owe a lot of money and have a huge inheritance tax to pay. If my uncle dies too, it will be another disaster." Big money! We can't afford it!"

The expression of the crew became very struggling, the urgent situation and the chaotic order made him unable to think, and the little girl who was crying miserably whipped his compassionate heart, and finally he compromised to open an entrance: "Come in !"

I almost cried out of gratitude!The joy of being rescued made me almost unbearable. I held Carl's hand tightly, and kept saying "Thank you!" to him, and then prepared to rush in.

"Lily!" A woman sitting on the boat rushed over suddenly, snatched the little girl in Carl's arms, took two steps back, and looked at Carl fiercely: "What are you going to do to my daughter?"

Who the fuck is this!I stared at the woman dumbfounded, but Karl quickly realized: "What are you trying to do to my niece! Give her back to me!"

But the little girl shouted loudly in the next second: "Mom!" Then she hugged the woman's neck tightly and refused to let go.

Finished!

I subconsciously clenched Carl's hand and looked up at him. His expression was gloomy, and he pulled me to stride over: "Give me back my niece..."

But the crew has already reacted. In fact, it is also easy to distinguish. Two people in gorgeous costumes are holding a little girl in rough clothes. He pushed us back into the crowd and used a gun Pointing at us: "You are not this child's family at all! Back off! You are not allowed on the boat!"

"FUCK!" Carl cursed, putting his hand on the gun at his waist, "That bastard! We saved her baby!"

The sea water was surging faster and faster, and it had already flooded the lifeboat behind us, which was still upside down on the deck. Some of the people around there panicked and ran to a higher place, while the other group of people ran to a higher place. Sticking to the spot, shouting slogans, trying to turn the heavy lifeboat over.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the crew turned around and shouted: "It's too late! Don't let go of the rope! Cut the cable! Cut it right away!"

At this time, the situation changed dramatically. The ship's body, which was only slightly tilted, suddenly began to tilt slowly.

There were screams of terror from those on deck, and the panicked crowd began to run towards the rising stern, trying to stay away from the approaching water.

Death was imminent, and the people around the ship flocked to the lifeboat regardless, and the crew didn't care about maintaining order. The most important thing for them now was to untie the lifeboat.The people on both sides squeezed forward, and immediately formed a solid human wall between us and the lifeboat.

"Give me a knife! Who has a knife! Cut the rope! Otherwise, everyone will die!" The crew shouted loudly.

"Let's grab a seat!" Carl pulled me and began to squeeze in. No one would let anyone else go. Carl let go of my hand and forcefully cleared the people in front of us, and even knocked out a person who refused to die. Those who give way, separate to open a passage leading to the lifeboat.

Several crew members and a few passengers with sharp weapons were still struggling to cut the rope, and the remaining crew members held guns or paddles and beat back fiercely those who tried to climb onto the lifeboat. Shots have been fired.The sea water has submerged to our thighs, and the boat was buoyed by the sea water.

"Get the gun out! Follow me!" Carl yelled at me. "Protect yourself! Don't be afraid to kill! Kill anyone and you'll be fine!"

I immediately took the gun at my waist in my hand.

A man saw my weapon and tried to grab it, and I shot him straight away in the chest.The murder came so quickly, but at this moment I have no time to fear and fear. The desire to survive is so strong that it covers up all other emotions. If I can, I think even if I kill everyone now, it will not touch me at all. penny.At this moment, I was so calm that I was cold-blooded. I stuck to Carl's back tightly, watched the people around him vigilantly, and then shot and killed another person who tried to attack him.

We finally made it to the side of the boat.Carl immediately shot and killed a crew member who blocked his way, flipped onto the boat with his hands, and punched a crew member who tried to attack him as soon as he got up.

I grabbed the edge of the boat and climbed up. As soon as I put a leg on it, I felt a big force behind me pulling me back.

I grabbed the edge of the boat in horror and shouted: "Carl!"

Carl rushed over immediately, shot and killed the person who was pulling me behind, and dragged me aboard.

The cables of the lifeboat were finally all cut, and it began to float on the chaotic sea.Many people have already climbed onto the lifeboat, and there are still people trying to climb behind.At this time, a scuffle was going on on the overcrowded ship.The people on the lifeboat were afraid that the people who would come later would capsize the boat, or be overloaded and sink, so they were trying their best to repel the people who were trying to climb up by the side of the boat, and the people who managed to climb up started to attack the existing passengers on the boat. Throw them in the water to make room for yourself.

We were out of bullets, and Carl grabbed a paddle for me to defend myself, while he fought with his bare hands.I swung the paddle vigorously, knocked over a passenger who jumped at me as soon as he climbed up, and knocked out a man who was attacking him with Carl.

My hands are numb.The fear of death made everyone lose their minds, they couldn't think normally, they only knew to snatch and attack.

Carl is now fighting with another person, and I am pushed to the side of the boat, and I can only smash the person who is climbing up desperately.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and then I lost consciousness.And as if in the next second, I was awakened by the biting cold all over my body and the feeling of choking on the water in my mouth and nose.I was knocked unconscious and thrown into the water.

This sudden feeling of weightlessness in the water and the numbness of my limbs from the cold sea scared me so much that I took another sip of water. I struggled to surface and swam to the lifeboat.

Carl just knocked out the man he was fighting with and threw him out of the boat. I squeezed to the side of the boat, grabbed the side of the boat, avoided the oars being swung by others, and shouted: "Carl! Give me a hand!"

Carl turned around and saw me, "Henry!" He rushed over and kicked the person who was preventing me from climbing up, grabbed my clothes and dragged me to the boat. As soon as my upper body came out of the water, I saw Carl suddenly Come down on me.The people behind him took the opportunity to push him into the sea.

"Damn!" Karl cursed loudly from the cold stimulation, and then led us to swim desperately towards the lifeboat, but the people on the boat had already repelled most of the people who climbed the boat, and started paddling the water with oars , trying to get away from the sinking Titanic.We can't catch up.

I didn't give up trying to catch up, but Karl immediately pulled me back.

"I can't catch up." He gasped, the corner of his eye was broken, the corner of his forehead was still bleeding, and there were some scrapes and scratches on his face, "Let's go back to the boat! Don't soak in the water!"

We turned and swam to the erecting hull,

Only a few sharp sounds of piercing the air were heard, and the ropes that fixed the chimney of the Titanic finally failed to support and broke. They were drawn into the water like whips, causing large splashes of water, and even hitting people. .This process happened too fast. I saw the huge chimney that Mr. Andrews and Mr. Ismay were so proud of began to fall slowly, and the people soaked in the seawater at the place where the chimney fell began to scream in despair. , and the chimney still fell down with an unstoppable trend.

We struggled to climb back to the Titanic, almost being washed in by the torrent of water pouring into the hall through the glass windows, but fortunately, Carl caught me with his eyes and hands.When we finally climbed to the steeper and steeper deck, I felt like I was going to collapse.But I can't stop.We want to climb up and stay on board as long as possible. When the ship is sinking, the sea is very dangerous. I don’t know what will fall. And looking at the current trend, the bow of the ship is going up, and the propeller at the bottom of the ship When it is exposed, it is also likely to hurt people.And if you run in the sea, you will be frozen to death soon. We should try our best to delay the time when we finally fall into the sea.

"Quick! Hold on! Come on!" Carl urged, holding me tightly with one hand, and ran up with hands and feet.

I feel like I'm dying, I'm so tired I just want to cry, the soaked coat weighs heavily on me like a brick.With so many people in front, I couldn't squeeze in.

"Let go of me, Carl!" I said, "I can't keep up, you run! I can't, I can't kill you again!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Carl tightened his hand. Even though it was numb from the cold, I could still feel the pain as if my wrist was about to be crushed. "Please persevere! Persevere! Henry please ! Even for me! Think of your mother!"

I choked up loudly, bit my lower lip immediately, and forced myself not to go, but gathered all my strength and ran up.

Even at this time, there are still people who insist on bringing their own suitcases.Some people jumped into the sea in a panic, while others were squeezed by the crowd and fell down. The screams and the sound of heavy objects falling into the water continued one after another.A priest is wearing a black robe, with a cross hanging on his chest, and a large group of devout Catholics are kneeling in front of him. One of his hands is tightly held on his forehead by the person kneeling at the front, and he prays loudly : "O merciful Virgin Mary, pray for us as we face death..."

Like a ferocious wolf, Carl elbowed his way through those who stood in his way.The hull became more and more tilted, and climbing became more and more difficult. Many people gave up and cried while hugging the railing.Carl panted heavily in silence, and crawled up with hands and feet, grabbing everything he could use.During this process, he never let go of my hand.

We finally climbed to the top of the stern, and there were already many people on it. Carl squeezed out a space and put me between him and the railing, protecting my body.I hugged the railing with one hand, and held his waist tightly with the other.

"Look, it's not that hard, is it?" Carl said to me with a smile while lowering his head, panting.

I nod.He leaned down and kissed my lips, just rubbing gently, but it made my heart palpitate.

"You have to persevere, you have to persevere," he whispered in my ear. "Don't give up. Your mother will come back to save you when she sees that you are not in the boat. The lifeboats are not full, they will empty out They came to save people. So you must persist until that moment, understand?"

I nodded vigorously: "I will. You have to persevere."

He put his lips to my forehead and paused for a long time.

The hull was tilted more and more, and it was still climbing up. Those who hadn't had time to grab something to stabilize themselves all slid down the smooth deck quickly under the action of gravity, while those behind were holding on to the railing and staying in place. The people on the ground were also knocked down.

The electrical system on the ship was finally about to fail.The bright lights on the boat began to flicker on and off, causing everyone to cry out in shock.

I watched with increasing terror through Carl's arm as the men descended.

"Carl," I said softly, "I'm sorry."

"What, honey?" Carl asked, leaning into my ear.

"If it wasn't for me, you would already be on the boat." I said tremblingly, "I killed you."

"Don't say it like this, my love." He tightened his arms, sucked...sucked my lips heavily, and then said against my lips, "I'm willing to do so."

I let go of the arms holding his waist, hooked his neck, and went up to him and gave him a deep kiss.The kiss became stiff and numb due to the cold, our teeth hurt each other's soft mouth, and even bit the other's tongue, but we enjoyed this kiss with great devotion.

"Does this mean that you have forgiven me?" He pressed his forehead against mine, panting and whispering.

"If we can both survive..." I put my arms around his neck and grabbed his hair, "If we can both survive, I will forgive you. Otherwise, I will hate you for the rest of my life."

"You have to do what you say." He showed a bright smile, "I won't give you a chance to go back on your word."

"Henry!"

A familiar voice came, I followed the voice and looked over, it was Rose and Jack who were tightly attached to the railing.

I ignored them and buried my face in Carl's arms.

The stern was raised higher and higher, and we could barely stand on the deck, our feet slipped, and our bodies were almost entirely supported by the arms holding the railings.Carl squeezed me tightly between the railing and his body, and put his arms through my ribs, grabbing the railing.

There were screams in my ears, and another group of people couldn't bear it and fell down.A few people climbed over the railing and lay down on it, but fell because they couldn't stand firmly.

The titanic giant ship made a painful moaning sound, like a monster on the verge of death.We can clearly hear the sound of her body being overwhelmed and dismembered.

Suddenly, the lights of the whole ship flickered violently twice, and then they never came on again.Everything was suddenly plunged into terrible darkness, and nothing could be seen, only the hazy shadows outlined by the faint moonlight.

The darkness catalyzed fear, and everyone was screaming, releasing their fear in this way.

I thought we'd be like this, falling into the sea with the erected ship.But in fact we have to face far more than that.

The tilted hull of the Titanic could not withstand the huge bending moment, and it broke from the middle.The sound of the plank and the breaking just now came clearly to the stern.We began to descend slowly, and those who climbed outside the railing were in a hurry to climb back, but within two seconds, it seemed that the hull of the ship had been disconnected, and the bow began to fall violently.

The weightlessness of the huge fall made Carl and I couldn't help but screamed loudly.We closed our eyes tightly and hugged the railing even harder.

There are still people floating on the sea struggling to swim like they are far away.They may not have died from falling from the boat, but they were crushed to death on the sea surface by half of the falling hull.

The hull of the ship hit the sea, and the falling stopped. I opened my eyes, swallowed, and subconsciously called out: "Carl."

"I'm here." He said immediately, and let go of the hand holding the railing to hold the back of my hand. His hand was as cold as a piece of hard ice, "Don't be afraid."

The hull briefly returned to the horizontal state, and then tilted up again at a faster speed.Many people who had just breathed a sigh of relief thought they had temporarily passed the crisis failed to grab the railing in time and immediately slid down.

"It's going to stand up! It's going to sink vertically!" I yelled, "Let's climb out quickly! Or we'll be pulled into the bottom of the sea by it!"

With great effort, Carl flipped over to the top of the railing nimbly, then stretched out his hand and pulled me up too.

Many people followed suit.But the speed at which the stern was raised was too fast, and it was too late for more people to climb over the railing. They could only hang on it, trying their best not to let themselves fall.

In less than half a minute, the half of the hull stood almost upright. More and more people couldn't hold on and fell down. Some fell to their death on the wall of the protruding hall on the ship. The screams stopped suddenly. , the body bounced up again and fell into the sea, leaving only a large dark bloodstain on the white wall. Like a broken puppet, the body immediately presents a kink of torque that a living person can never achieve.

The moment Titanic stood upright, its sinking speed slowed down immediately.There are fewer and fewer people on the railing.I turned my head to look in Rose's direction. She and Jack had climbed over the railing and were lying on the top, looking at the hellish scene below in horror.

Carl and I were close together.He passed through with one hand, clasped the railing upside down, and wrapped his arms around my shoulder tightly with one hand.

"Look at how lucky we are." He said softly, looking at me, with a smile, "We will always be lucky. We will definitely survive, as long as you persist."

I touched his face, my fingers were passive and stiff, I could hardly feel anything, I could only feel the soft touch of the skin on his face, and the rough feeling of sloppy hands.

"You've grown a beard." I whispered, "It's very prickly."

"Clean it up for me at dawn, okay?"

"it is good."

We exchanged another trembling simple kiss.

"We're going to survive," I said. "I'm not giving up. You have to go on."

After a brief pause, the sinking speed of the hull began to accelerate, and the surrounding water began to churn.

"When the boat sinks completely, there will be a vortex due to the influx of sea water." Carl continued, "You have to work hard to swim upstream."

"I know."

"We may be separated, but don't be afraid."

"It's just a brief separation." I tried to force a smile, "Even if we are separated now, we can still meet on the lifeboat that came back to find us later."

"It's good for you to think so."

"You must try not to let yourself soak in the water." I also instructed, "If you soak in the water, you will freeze to death. You must find a floating object to lift yourself out of the water."

"I understand. Don't worry." He kissed my forehead again.

We kept exchanging one simple touching kiss after another, as if to build up more strength and courage.

The sea is getting closer and closer.

Carl yelled "Hold on!" The next second, we were dragged into the sea.

A great force pushes us down.Sea water poured into my ears.In the water I couldn't hear or see anything, just a dull, chaotic noise.

I tried my best to move my limbs upwards, desperately resisting the desire to breathe, and choked on the water a little bit, and I had no choice but to die.

My lungs didn't seem to know what kind of situation I was in. They pushed the exhaust gas upwards, and I felt like they were about to explode.My heart was pumping blood rapidly, and the blood vessels in my ear canals were throbbing, making a loud pounding sound.A white light began to appear in front of my eyes.

I paddled my limbs harder and tried to float up.

Can't pass out!I shout in my heart!Hold on!Hold on!Can't pass out!

In this case, a second will be stretched very long. I feel like it took a century before I finally broke out of the water, gasping for oxygen.

The water was full of people struggling in fear, and there were cries and screams everywhere.They struggled in panic, wasting their physical strength and body temperature aimlessly.

I looked around, looking for Carl's figure. "Carl!" I called his name loudly, but my voice was quickly buried in the chaos of voices.

"Carl!" I called his name while looking for a floating object to climb on.

Soon I saw a chair, and I swam over in surprise, but before my hand touched the chair, I was pulled aside vigorously by a person grabbing the collar of my clothes.

"Go away!" the man yelled, and then he grabbed the chair tightly and never let go.

I took a sip of the cold sea water and felt like swallowing a vat of ice.That person is much taller than me, I can't snatch it back, so I can only look for the next target.

However, in the next second, a person swam over quickly. He grabbed that person's hair and slammed his head against the chair several times.The man seemed to have been knocked unconscious, let go of the chair, and floated motionless on the water.

"Henry, come here!" That person is Carl!

"God, I thought I couldn't find you!" I swam to hug his neck.

"Climb up quickly!" He kissed me and immediately urged.

I grabbed the chair and climbed up stiffly and clumsily. He pushed my body hard from behind until I was lying on the chair with most of my body out of the sea water.

After finishing all this, he held the chair with one hand, looked around, and soon found another chair floating on the water, and immediately said, "Wait for me to come back."

"Be careful!" I exhorted.

I watched him swim over, and the chair was already occupied before he arrived, but he swam over anyway, picked up a wooden stick from the water, swam to the chair and immediately began to attack the person viciously.The man immediately gave up the chair.

Carl took the chair and swam back, scaring away all the people who tried to snatch it, returned to me, and climbed up.

"It feels better this way." He breathed a sigh of relief, looking up at me.

I reached out and held his hand tightly.

The sea was too cold, and within a short while, I saw that Karl's eyebrows were covered with frost, and his hair was frozen together in locks and locks, which was the same as me.

"You look, like, Santa Claus." I joked, shaking.The cold made me tremble uncontrollably, and I could hardly finish a short phrase smoothly.

"You too," he said with a quivering smile, "You are, Santa, Carl's, boyfriend. No, wife."

"I'm a man," I retorted, "I am, husband."

He took my hand, brought it to his lips and kissed gently, "Myhusband."

Tears were streaming down my face, and my eyeballs started to heat up—the only place in my body that felt hot.

"We, will, live, survive?"

"Yes." He immediately said firmly, "I will live. I also want to introduce you to my parents. I told them that I want to introduce my beloved to you. them."

"They, they will, immediately, drive me back to England." I said intermittently while weeping.

"Then I'll go back with you." He kissed the back of my hand again.

We lay prone on chairs, listening to the constant sound of water, crying, and screams of people struggling around us.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar woman's exclamation. I turned my head and saw not far away, Rose was climbing up a wooden board with the help of Jack. However, when Jack was about to climb up, the wooden board was gone Because the unequal application points were overturned, Rose fell back into the water again.They climbed up and down several times, and finally Jack had no choice but to give up and only lifted Rose up.Then they joined hands, one lying on the board, the other soaked in the water, holding the edge of the board, with their heads bowed, as if they were breathing a sigh of relief.

I yelled, "Rose!"

Rose looked up and saw me: "Henry!" Her voice had a distinct trill.

"Jack, climb the other side," I yelled, "Climb the other side, board, no, turn over."

Rose seemed to have found hope, and Jack swam to the other side of the plank and began to climb, but it was obvious that they didn't understand me at all.Rose also tried to pull him, but the plank overturned and the two fell into the water again.

"Rose, you, don't move! Stay where you are!" I shouted anxiously, my voice was already hoarse, "Like, a seesaw! Keep, both sides, force, balance!"

They tried a few more times, and finally Jack finally understood what I meant. He asked Rose to hold down the other half of the plank, and he finally climbed up the plank smoothly.

Seeing that the two are safe, I no longer look at them.Turn your attention to Carl again.

He kept looking at me with a smile, and after meeting my eyes, he kissed the back of my hand again.

"Smart," he said softly.

"It's them, too stupid." I stretched out a finger and stroked his face.

Not far from us, a crew member was holding a wooden box, blowing his whistle vigorously, and the sharp whistle echoed on the open sea.

"Come back! Bring the boat back!" He let out his whistle and shouted in the direction the lifeboat was rowing, and then started blowing the whistle again and again.

"Help!" the people on the sea cried, "I beg you, bring the boat back!"

"Help! Help!"

"Come back! Please!"

Weeping, begging, and cursing, everyone was in despair, because there was no movement of the boats turning back.

"I don't want to die!" a man broke down and cried loudly, "I don't want to die! Mom! Laura! Molly! I don't want to die! Come back! Come back!"

I stared at him until Carl put his hands over my eyes.

"They will come back." He whispered, "At least, Ruth, no, not to save you."

"What if, the crew, you don't want to?" The despair and heavy emotions on the sea also deeply affected me. The lifeboat watched us silently from afar, even though the people in the sea were the husbands of most of them. , we can only wait to die. "She's just a woman."

After speaking, my tears could not stop flowing out.

People are selfish, except parents to their children.Even if the mother is willing to come back, what about the others?They definitely wouldn't want it, the horrible death happened in front of them, it wouldn't arouse their compassion, but it would make them choose to stand by because they were more afraid of death.Even if her husband died, so what, more importantly, her own life.It may be very sad, but more importantly, I have to survive.

So no matter what, am I going to die here in the end?It even took Carl's life.If it's true God, I will definitely go to hell.

"Don't cry." He wiped away my tears with his other hand, "Don't cry, don't waste your strength. Don't be frightened by them. These people will be frightened by a little thing. They Will die, entirely because. I am cowardly"

"Trust her." Carl turned my face away so I could look at him, "She's a, cub-guarding, she-wolf. She's. More, more than you think. They, absolutely, will be back. Just It will be a little later. These people will come back when they are silent, otherwise, the boat will capsize. As long as we persist and outlast them, we will definitely survive."

"Trust me." He pressed his forehead against mine, looking into mine, "Trust me!"

After speaking, he held the back of my head, came up to me, and kissed my lips gently.I suppressed my sobs and tried to kiss him back.

"I love you." He said against my lips. "Keep going for me."

He covered my ears so I couldn't hear the wailing and kept kissing me to keep me awake.His kissing skills are very good, and there are many tricks. I also try my best to respond, learn, let my brain move, and don't fall into a deep sleep because of the cold.

The sea quickly became quieter and quieter.The sea water here may only be a few degrees above zero. Most people are immersed in the water, terrified, desperate and afraid, and constantly struggling, consuming body heat, so they are quickly frozen and lose consciousness. die.

Carl dropped his hand.I heard only sporadic and distant wailing on the sea.Looking around, there are all people who have been frozen to death, which makes me even more scared.

"Great, isn't it?" Carl smiled stiffly, his eyelashes were covered with frost, "They, come soon, the sea surface, after calm, they will, come back, save us."

I can't feel my body anymore, I see him holding my hand, but I feel like that hand has lost contact with my brain.The heavy exhaustion weighed on my eyelids, as if I hadn't slept in a month, urging me to close my eyes.

"Carl, I, I'm so sleepy." I said softly.

"Don't sleep! Open your eyes! Don't sleep!" Carl growled in a low voice, and then he struggled to get closer and bit my face.

The severe pain made me scream in a low voice, as if countless fine needles had been pierced into my brain, and I was instantly sober.

"Still sleepy?" He loosened his teeth and asked with a smile.

I laughed out loud, and took a deep breath, "Of course not. You are a beast. Am I bleeding?"

He looked at my face carefully and finally said, "Kindly. My dear, you are disfigured."

"You bastard, I won't let you go."

"Don't let me go." He whispered, "Please, don't let me go."

----------I am the scene conversion dividing line---------------------------------- -----------

Even in such a faint moonlight, from such a long distance, Ruth could see the people struggling to survive on the sea.Their cries came through from afar, and the fear, pleading and pain in them
