I earn really hard money

Chapter 327 Special Chapter Titanic (Final Chapter)

"Sir, would you like a drink?"

He Xia rushed into the banquet hall, and a waiter with wine came to him and asked politely.

Where did he still have this leisurely mood, he walked straight towards the bar.

"Mr. Douglas?"

On the way, Ruth's mother, Mrs. Bucket, stopped He Xia. She was very puzzled and thought to herself that her daughter should be with this person. Why did he appear here?

He Xia glanced at Mrs. Bucket. She didn't want to care about her at first, but then she thought that if Ruth couldn't wait for her mother, she would definitely have to look around, so she took Mrs. Bucket away with the trick she used to deal with Mrs. Brown just now. step aside.

"Ruth is at the stern. She has something very urgent to tell you. If you don't go, she is going to jump into the sea..."

"That, God, Douglas, is it true? My God..."

Although she questioned in her mouth, Mrs. Bucket has already stepped towards the gate of the banquet hall. This kind of thing is not a joke. The hope of the entire Bucket family is concentrated on Ruth. If the daughter really jumps into the sea, then the whole family will be submerged.

In the bar next to the banquet hall, the high-end screen divides the whole area into more private spaces, and the air is filled with smoke, where drunken men sit together and have a romantic relationship.

As Ruth said in the movie, under the stimulation of cigarettes and alcohol, men feel that they have become the masters of the universe, and the power and wealth in their hands can control everything.

It's a pity they don't know that, right now, no hope of escape is under their control.

"Carl, I will contact those heavy industry companies, but you must increase steel production, ensure supply, and stabilize the quality at the same time. I don't want my reputation to suffer."

Duke Connaught held a finger-thick cigar in his hand, talking eloquently.

He has a wide network of contacts in Europe, especially in the UK, and he has no physical business. He only needs to build bridges and lead people to earn rich returns. This is the advantage of the nobility.

"Don't worry, Duke, the Hockley family's steel will not let you down. By the way, I have already sent out an invitation to establish good relations with those mine owners in the west. The ore will continue to flow... Oh, Shet!"

Carl was talking when he suddenly felt a strong force pulling him out of his seat.

"Mr. Douglas?"

The rest of the people were suddenly curious, not knowing why He Xia went back and forth, and they picked up Carl Hockley very rudely.

"Hello everyone, there is something wrong with Ruth, I'll take Carl over there to deal with it."

After finishing speaking, He Xia dragged Carl away.

"Hey, Douglas, let go, what can happen to Ruth..."

No matter how Karl struggled, He Xia didn't say a word, and dragged him to the entrance of the banquet hall under the strange eyes of everyone.

During the period, Karl tried to call the guards, but He Xia was well-dressed, and the guards didn't dare to do anything, so they could only keep smiling awkwardly, thinking in his heart, the old man is really troublesome, and he will fight if he drinks too much...

"Douglas!"

After walking out of the banquet hall, Carl finally broke out, twisted and struggled away, and said furiously: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you can get the invitation from Duke Connaught, I know you like Ruth, and even Ruth likes you, but She can't be with you!"

Along the way, Carl thought a lot, and guessed that Ruth wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and then go with this mysterious Douglas, which is impossible!

"Hahaha, she is my fiancee, she will never be with you!"

He Xia looked at Carl with indifferent eyes, shook his head and said, "The things you think never happened. I called you out because I found Spencer."

"Who? Spencer?" Carl couldn't turn his head around for a while. He took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and said with a fake smile: "Where is he?"

"You'll know when you come with me..."

"I don't have the time to find him. He disappeared for a day for no reason. Tell him to come find me!"

Carl felt that his whole body was out of breath after getting on the boat, and a lot of shit happened.

He Xia shook his head with a strange expression: "He's in a bad condition, I'm afraid he can't come to see you, and he said he has a secret to tell you about the heart of the ocean."

Carl frowned, and then his heart skipped a beat. Usually, when he used the safe, Spencer would stand by, and it was very likely that he had snooped on the password!

At this moment, a group of people walked towards the banquet hall quickly, holding many life jackets in their hands, walking in a hurry and looking nervous.

"Good evening, gentlemen!"

When passing by He Xia and Karl, he couldn't help but stuff two sets of life jackets into their hands.

People passing by told: "Put it on quickly!"

"What the hell is this..."

Carl felt his head was about to explode. Why did a series of things happen that he couldn't understand? He shook his head violently. Could it be that White Star Shipping saved money and bought fake wine...

"Let's go, heart of your ocean!"

He Xia urged.

Carl's mind was completely confused, his IQ dropped, and he panicked when he thought of the huge sapphire: "Go, hurry up, Heart of the Ocean!"

The Heart of the Ocean is a rare treasure purchased by the Hockley family with a large amount of assets. It is absolutely not allowed to travel on business. It doesn't matter if it is given to Ruth, because Ruth also belongs to the Hockley family.

When the two left the warm cabin and rushed to the deck, they found that the outside was in a mess, and many people were running around like headless chickens. A huge firework just lit up in the sky, illuminating the dark night sky, and the icy wind blew past. , The smoke drifted into the distance.

"Is there a fireworks show tonight?"

Carl stared at the sky, completely unaware that the faces of the people running around him were wrong. He even thought that these people were watching a performance.

He Xia urged again: "Let's go, busy with our own affairs!"

Since he left the bar, Carl experienced a series of bizarre things. His mind was no longer under control, and he followed He Xia to run on the deck, and looked back at the gorgeous "fireworks" during the process.

He Xia took Carl to the floor of the detention room.

"How is this going?"

After going down the stairs, Karl felt the soles of his feet were cold, and found that there were several centimeters of water on the ground!

"It must be Spencer, he turned on the tap!"

He Xia pointed in the direction of the detention room with a serious expression.

"God, what is he going to do!"

Karl felt incredible, and hurried towards the direction He Xia pointed.

Soon, the two came to the holding room.

Pushing the door open, it was pitch black. Carl looked around to see if there was any Spencer, but just when he turned his head to question He Xia, a strong wind hit, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

According to the plan, He Xia tied Carl Hockley to a pipe, which perfectly reproduced what happened to Jack in the movie, except that Jack was awake in the movie, but now Carl is unconscious and tied with hemp rope.

When he opened the door and entered the detention room, there was about three to four centimeters of water under his feet. When He Xia finished everything and closed the iron door, the sea water was up to his knees, and the water level rose at an astonishing speed!

He Xia returned the same way, and when he returned to the deck again, the entire deck was a mess!

Due to the slight inclination of the hull, the passengers in the second and third class cabins felt a problem. When they learned that the Titanic was about to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, everyone panicked!

The roar of the guards, the angry screams of the passengers, and some people fighting for the qualification to squeeze into the lifeboat in advance, the scene was out of control for a while.

However, some of them maintained an elegant demeanor, put on grand gowns, stood aside, and made room for the lifeboats for women, children and children.

The so-called gentleman's demeanor, some people just talk about it, and show it falsely at the dinner table and at the banquet, while some people integrate it into all aspects, even in the face of life and death.

It may seem stupid, but this is their belief and belief, and perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of these spiritual pillars that they can achieve good results in their careers.

He Xia flew all the way, seeing the passing scenes in his eyes, the immersive feeling was more shocking than that in the movie, the negative factors such as rage, despair, fear mixed, so that the whole sky was covered with haze.

Suddenly a melodious sound of the piano came to the ears, and the band in the banquet hall came to the deck. The violinist pulled the strings calmly, trying to soothe the panic of the people, but the effect was minimal, but they still worked hard.

"Mr. Douglas..."

Captain Edward greeted He Xia who was in a hurry. He had completely given up resistance and vowed to live and die with Titanic.

"Captain, take care..."

He Xia didn't try to persuade the millionaire captain, he knew very well what the captain was thinking, he was overwhelmed by guilt, even if a helicopter came to take him away, he would probably commit suicide soon.

The stern is much quieter than the first half of the Titanic, because the guards are busy there.

"Charlotte, hurry up!"

Ruth waved to He Xia, eyes full of anxiety, the lifeboat was about to be lowered, and there were more than 20 people sitting in it, mainly ladies and children, including Mrs. Bucket and Mrs. Brown.

He Xia said in his heart that this lifeboat is just a fool. There are more than 20 people without men, and it is already very crowded. The load can reach 70 people, but there is not enough space for all of them to stand!
"Mr. Douglas, get on board!"

Thomas Andrews was standing by the winch of the cable. As the only man in the crowd, he could not have boarded the boat alone, leaving the lady to turn the winch!
"You go up first, I will put the cable, and then I will jump up!"

He Xia pushed Thomas away and told him to get on the boat quickly, what a joke, this one is the key protection target.

"Mr. Douglas, where is Karl? Where is Karl Hockley, Ruth's fiancé?"

On the boat, Mrs. Bucket couldn't help asking. She didn't see the golden turtle husband, and she was very anxious.

[Punisher Exclusive Mission: Let Carl die in the shipwreck (Complete), kill Spencer (Complete)]

[Exploration degree +5%, currently: 78%]

At this moment, the subtitles popped up in He Xia's mind. He glanced at Mrs. Bucket, pushed Thomas towards the lifeboat again, and continued, "I can't persuade Mr. Hockley, he insists on going back to his room." Go get things, saying that there are very important jewelry and contracts!"

"What... this, this... Ruth, go quickly, go and call Carl, you can't let him go back to the guest room!"

Mrs. Bucket was impatient, and her wealthy son-in-law must have nothing to do.

Ruth looked at her mother with a very strange look, and said expressionlessly, "Okay, Mom."

"Thomas, hurry up, get on board! Ruth and I will put you down first, find Carl and get on the lifeboat, hurry up!"

He Xia was trying to find a way to keep Ruth, but she didn't expect Mrs. Bucket to help her. It was a godly assist.

"Mr. Douglas, I..."

Thomas always felt uncomfortable being a man among ladies and children.

However, before he could finish speaking, He Xia picked Thomas up and threw him into the lifeboat with ease. There was no time for long-winded words...

"God..."

The people on the lifeboat were startled, and the shaking of the hull made everyone turn pale.

"Ruth, let it go!"

When the lifeboat stabilized slightly, He Xia ordered Ruth to turn the winch on the other side.

The two turned the winch together, and quickly put the lifeboat on the surface of the sea. He Xia leaned over the side of the boat and shouted to the bottom: "Thomas, row quickly, the farther the better, hurry up, pick up the oars, and row!"

Thomas finally knew his mission. On this boat full of women, children and children, he was in charge of paddling!
Without time to respond to He Xia, Thomas pulled out the paddle and started paddling.

[Main task: get Ruth's heart, integrate into the high-class social circle (complete), save Thomas Andrews (complete)]

Huh, He Xia let out a long breath, leaving only the task that he thought was the easiest before but has not been completed until now!

"Who asked you to release the lifeboat!"

At this moment, two guards ran towards the stern with a group of people, and one guard questioned He Xia.

"A boatload of ladies and children have been evacuated, you continue your work!"

He Xia pointed to the lifeboat that was gradually going away and said.

The people who ran over looked at the sea, and it was indeed a boat of women and children. The only rowers were men, which also conformed to the rules set by the captain. Women and children were given priority, so they couldn't say anything.

"What about you? Why don't you go, hurry up!"

The guard was still very reasonable, and after understanding the situation, he was even willing to make an exception and let He Xia board the lifeboat.

"We still have something to do, you should be busy." After He Xia finished speaking, he helped Ruth with a dull expression to the side, and asked, "Are you really going to find Carl?"

When Ruth heard He Xia's voice, she came back to her senses and said in a mocking tone: "If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't take the risk of letting you inform my mother, Charlotte, we..."

While speaking, the hull of the ship suddenly tilted by a large margin, and an obvious slope was formed under the feet, and it took a little effort to stand still!
"Sinking faster than expected!"

He Xia was amazed. It was less than half an hour since the iceberg hit. If you look at the progress of the movie, such a large angle of inclination would not have formed at all. The only explanation is that the timeline has been compressed again!
"Charlotte, let's go together!"

Ruth took He Xia's hand and pointed to the lifeboat beside him. Although the position was tight, there must be room for two people.

"It's too late! Ruth..." He Xia held Ruth's cheek and kissed her, and then said to the guard who was still busy: "Stop launching the lifeboat, it's too late!"

"Sir, what did you say?"

In the noisy environment, the guard couldn't hear what He Xia was saying at all, but there was no need to listen, as the ship's tilting hull made him aware of the abnormality.

"Oh my god... how could this happen!"

In the distance, on the Thomas lifeboat rowing 80 [-] meters away, Mrs. Brown pointed to the Titanic with its upturned tail and exclaimed.

From a distant perspective, Titanic's head has plunged into the sea water. As the water pressure increased, the planks on the deck cracked one after another, and the huge inclination angle caused the people on the deck to fall into the cold water like dumplings. Atlantic Ocean.

270 meters long, the largest man-made steel creation after the Eiffel Tower, a great achievement of industry, the Titanic, which is larger than ten blue whales, slowly sinks into the Atlantic Ocean!
"Ruth, my daughter..."

Mrs. Bucket stood up with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect the drastic change to happen in an instant, and regretted it in her heart, but it was too late.

The others on the lifeboat didn't have the time to condemn Mrs. Bucket, and after a while, fear swept over their hearts, creating a huge sense of suffocation.

Thomas Andrews trembled all over. This ship was designed by him. He watched her being built, but in the face of the power of nature, it was so fragile and vulnerable.

The chaos on the Titanic was even worse. There were only ten lifeboats that successfully landed on the water. In other words, only about three hundred people had the chance to survive!

Not counting those who fell into the water, the rest of the crowd rushed towards the stern, not hoping to balance the ship with their own weak weight, but just hoping to stay on the giant steel ship for a while longer.

"Ruth, come with me!"

He Xia dragged Ruth towards the place where the Mi Ziqi flag was flying at the stern, which was the last place of salvation.

Since the two were already at the stern of the boat and were the first to react, they quickly ran to the fence.

"Turn over!"

He Xia said without hesitation.

"Are you going to jump off?"

Ruth was a little confused.

"No, of course not! You turn over first."

He Xia supported Ruth's waist to help her climb over the railing, and leaned against the railing, her body was very stable.

"Remember this place?"

He Xia climbed over the railing easily and sat beside Ruth.

"No, I don't remember!"

Ruth's soul was so frightened that she couldn't think of where this place was.

"This is where we met. Naughty Ruth stands here, wanting to roll, struggle, and cry for help in the icy sea."

"Hey..." Ruth recalled what happened yesterday, and with He Xia's relaxed tone, she couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Charlotte, you are so amazing, you still have thoughts at this time, ah……"

Ruth felt her body leaning back, as if someone had pushed her legs, but unfortunately no one was joking with her, but the hull was more upright...

Every second, the bow of the Titanic is sinking, just to see if it breaks through the critical point of perception!

It was also at this time that the Titanic completely cut off the power supply, and all the electric lighting equipment went out, and the few gas lamps could not support the lighting in the dark at all.

All kinds of shouts resounded through the sky...

He Xia turned around and stood face to face in front of Ruth, the distance between the tip of her nose was less than three centimeters, her chest was pressed against her chest, feeling each other's breath.

The sudden ambiguity made Ruth's mind flutter, and she was afraid to look at He Xia.

"Remember, don't bark."

He Xia exhorted softly.

Before Ruth figured out why she didn't want to scream, she heard a crackling sound behind her, like a salute, followed by a huge sense of weightlessness.

"Ah uh..."

"Don't call..."

Ruth was about to yell out, but when her terrified eyes saw the calm face close at hand, she forcibly suppressed her screams.

It's a pity that even if Ruth didn't yell, there were still a lot of shouts around, but it was much better than the situation in the movie, because the entire timeline was compressed, and people had no time to escape to the stern, only the initial wave of people was nearby.

The whole Titanic broke into two parts from the middle, and the high-rising tail smashed into the sea with great momentum. The people who fell into the water were scared out of their wits before, and smartly began to dive into the water, unable to understand Others swam desperately, trying to escape the fall of the ship.

boom!
The stern fell back to the surface...

In the era when the roller coaster was not yet popular (the roller coaster was invented in [-]), even an aristocratic lady like Ruth had never experienced such an exciting project. The sudden weightlessness was thrust in the opposite direction. The heart seemed to fly out of the throat.

"Charlotte... my God, Charlotte, yes, are you all right?"

Feeling calm, Ruth swallowed, thinking that the disaster was over.

However, she saw the handsome cheeks swaying from side to side. Just as she was about to ask why, she felt the position of her body start to change again. Gradually, she could see the stars in the sky without raising her head...

"what……"

"help me."

"Please help me, I can't hold on anymore!"

As she slowly raised her body, desperate cries echoed in Ruth's ears. She wanted to turn her head to see what was going on, but her head was caught by He Xia's arms and she couldn't move...

"God, my God, what's going on?"

There was clear doubt in Ruth's eyes.

"It's a very simple physical process. I will demonstrate it to you with a model when I have a chance, but now, prepare to fall into the water!"

"Falling into the water? It's okay, don't be afraid, I can swim, it's okay to fall into the water!" Ruth also comforted He Xia: "Charlotte, can you swim? It's okay, I'll take you to swim!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

He Xia smiled and shook his head, staring at the hull slowly sinking into the Atlantic Ocean, calculating the speed of descent, and said: "Listen to my command, when I say inhale, inhale slowly until you can no longer inhale ,Do you understand?"

Ruth nodded sharply.

"Ok?"

Pfft, a rescue flashbang illuminates the sky.

He Xia saw several familiar faces through the light, Jack, Mark and Hans!
The three of them are one of the few passengers who escaped from the third-class cabin. If it wasn’t for He Xia’s reminder, they would be like the vast majority of third-class passengers, and they wouldn’t even have the chance to get on the deck...

During the short process, Jack also saw He Xia, who was as optimistic as him, and did not forget to call Mark and Hans to look up, and at the same time waved with a smile.

He Xia also waved to the three of them, and then motioned for them to take off their coats like him!
"Charlotte, do I need to take off too?"

Ruth asked suspiciously.

Wow, He Xia threw away his jacket and shook his head: "It's too late, three, two, suck!"

While inhaling, just before falling into the water, He Xia hugged Ruth in his arms.

puff……

With a loud noise, the Titanic disappeared into the sea with the Union Jack. Countless people were sucked into the water by great force, rolling and struggling in the icy water just as He Xia described to Ruth.

"Made, the movie is a lie!"

Falling into the water, the cold sea water poured into the nostrils and ears, and you can't see your fingers. There is no such faintly bright seabed in the movie, and the surroundings are pitch black, and you get kicked from time to time!
The harsh environment is like hell to ordinary people, but it is not too difficult for He Xia to deal with it, and soon he surfaced with Ruth.

"Huh...Charlotte, giggling, Charlotte, we are still alive!" Ruth was so cold that her teeth chattered.

"Ahhh..."

He Xia wiped his face and didn't have time to answer. Looking left and right, he found a relatively complete deck, which was not comparable to the door panel in the movie, but there was nothing to pick at the moment...

"Quick, climb up!"

With the help of He Xia, Ruth climbed onto the deck, her hair was dripping, and her teeth were chattering.

Surrounded by people swimming, straw may not save your life, but as long as you find a floating table leg, you may last for a while.

Some people took a fancy to Ruth's deck, but after seeing He Xia's cold gaze, they consciously chose to leave...

"Charlotte, you come up too, hurry up, hurry up, ah..."

Ruth moved sideways, and nearly turned the deck over.

He Xia stabilized the deck, shook her head and said, "It's only enough for a light-weight lady, don't move around!"

"Yes, yes, I will not move..."

Ruth was very obedient, lying on her stomach tightly, holding He Xia's hand in both hands, breathed out warm breath, and said: "Charlotte, I, we will change later, change it, let you come warm on the deck ,warm."

He Xia smiled wryly. The water covered with icy shards and his whole body was soaked and exposed to the wind, but the difference between eighty steps and a hundred steps, what he expected now was not to survive...

"Ruth, I think, Karl guesses, probably didn't escape..."

Ruth turned her head and glanced at the sinking direction of the Titanic, with an indifferent expression on her face: "Let his treasures fall into the bottom of the sea with him..."

"If Cal Hockley dies, Ruth, your engagement should be void, shouldn't it?"

He Xia asked a crucial question,

He doesn't doubt Ruth's feelings for him, he can see it from all kinds of signs, but he suspects that the key to not completing the task is that there is a shackle that restrains Ruth, so he still dare not promise his heart.

Sure enough, after He Xia asked the question, Ruth's body shook violently, and a little blush suddenly returned to her blushing cheeks, which was the accelerated blood flow caused by inner excitement.

"Charlotte, you, you are right, engagement, engagement is just engagement, not a holy marriage, I, we can be together, when, of course, as long as you want!"

[Main quests: Obtain Ruth's heart (completed), integrate into the high-class social circle (completed), save Thomas Andrews (completed)】

[Exploration degree +15%, currently: 88%]

He Xia breathed a long sigh of relief. He thought that the easiest task was not completed until the end, and it was so difficult that he doubted his life.

"Xia, Charlotte, you, don't you want to?"

Seeing that He Xia let out a long breath, Ruth's heart ached again.

"Yes, of course I would..."

He Xia smiled and nodded Ruth's frozen nose, thinking in her heart, in fact, if she can really live in this world for a long time, it would be good to be a time traveler...

It's a pity that it doesn't work, there are too many concerns in the real world.

Ruth hugged He Xia's head, trying to provide warmth for him with her own little warmth.

Time passed slowly, and the movement around the two became smaller and smaller, which meant that more and more people "sleeped" past...

Some people hugged the window panels and looked fine, but they were not breathing. Hypothermia can quickly kill people.

"Come on, it's time for you to come up."

Ruth held He Xia's icy cheeks and let out a breath of steam.

He Xia shook her head: "Don't move, I'll be right back!"

"No, don't go!"

Ruth grabbed He Xia's shoulders, and the hot air she exhaled cooled instantly in the dark sea. She was terrified, afraid that she would not be rescued, and afraid that He Xia would never see her again after leaving.

"There's a good thing on that man's neck. I'll bring it here. I'll use it later."

He Xia took advantage of the short-lived light of the distress light, and found a whistle hanging on the neck of the man not far away, shining brightly!

Rao Yihe Xia's physique, after soaking in the cold sea water for so long, is still choking, his body bones are stiff...

"Brother, you don't need it anymore, go all the way..."

Swimming to the person, I found that the person holding the window panel was not breathing and was sleeping very peacefully.

Take off the whistle and go back to Ruth and hand her the item: "For you, don't lose the whistle. (Small salute, DDDD)"

Ruth took the silver whistle tremblingly. She was too cold to speak, so she just nodded, held the whistle tightly, and then climbed forward with difficulty for a short distance: "You come up instead."

He Xia smiled and rubbed her hands together. After a little heat, she held Ruth's cheek for the last time, and kissed her cold lips.

"Rose, blow the whistle when you see the light. Remember, blow the whistle when you see the light!"

After finishing speaking, He Xia gently pushed the deck.

Ruth was already delirious from the cold, but when she saw He Xia's cheek appearing under the water, she woke up suddenly, and wanted to reach out to fish it, but she couldn't.

"Charlotte!"

Ruth's voice was almost dead, it was very hoarse.

Just at this moment, a light came over.

"Light?" Ruth raised her head to look at the light source with difficulty, then lowered her head again, trying to use the light source to take a look at the underwater situation, but unfortunately there was nothing.

"Light... There is light blowing the whistle, yes, blowing the whistle!"

beep, beep...

The ear-piercing whistle sounded on the quiet sea, instantly attracting the rescue boat's attention, and quickly rowed to the deck where Ruth was.

"Ma'am, God, God has mercy, come up!"

"No, hurry up, save people quickly, my lover just sank, he is not dead yet, there is still a way to save him, can you save him?"

Ruth knelt on the deck and begged the guards.

The guard took a flashlight and took a photo under the water. The light beam can only penetrate a few meters deep, and there is no one.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, we don't have the ability to save your lover, please understand, come up quickly, we have to rescue other people!"

"He's under the water, really, his name is Charlotte Douglas, and he's under the water, under the water..."

Ruth passed out while talking about being underwater.

However, there is no Charlotte Douglas underwater.

He Xia sank into the water, when a cold darkness enveloped his whole body, he said in his mind: "Mr. Portal, take me back..."

　Switched thinking and wrote a mission plot.

　　When I made the detailed outline, I didn't expect it to be so long, and I was a little rushed later, because I promised to finish it in five days, but it took eight days even if it was updated every day...
