By the time I got to the upper deck, the deafening steam puff was the ship's dirge.When I came to the restaurant, I stroked the familiar light-colored oak grand staircase. Some guests wore white life jackets, and many of them looked disapproving.It could be that the advertising concept of the unsinkable ship is so ingrained that no one knows what's going to happen next.

I looked around and saw the waiters serving the guests with drinks, most of these upper-class waiters were French, maybe there were some Italians.

I carefully observed the crowd, and many guests had already been led outside and started to line up for the lifeboats.

There was a clear "swoosh" from outside, and the light of the distress rocket exploded into countless stars in the black night sky.When I came to the glass window, colorful light spots fell on the silent sea and disappeared in an instant.

I look back, whether it's Carl, or Ruth, or Jack, all the people I know and know don't exist.For a while, I didn't know where to find them. The ship was not small, and I didn't even know if anyone had successfully boarded the lifeboat.

I didn't see any familiar people in the dining room, so I went to the deck of the lifeboat again, from the room with the fireplace heating to the outside, the cold air made me shiver instinctively.I saw my breath turn into a white mist, some ice whiskers flickered in the air, and the hot and cold air layers would produce a lot of refraction optics.

The lights on the ship didn't seem to have any effect, and the sloping bow was full of running crew members.

"Winch, pay attention to the winch." Someone was bending over the gears of the winch.

"Pull off the cloth cover of the lifeboat, hurry up." Several crew members quickly lifted the canvas and lowered the lifeboat on the davit.

"Attention, ladies, please come here, ladies and children first." The crew who lowered the lifeboat shouted loudly, trying to make people quiet and line up.

I heard parting cries and men's comforting voices. The Titanic was completely silent in the middle of the dark sea. Only the noise on board made the ship a little angry.

In front of the entrance to the deck, the band on board, eight musicians in the saloon of the first class and the third class are playing seriously.I saw Hallett, the conductor of the orchestra, smile and nod at me, and then he continued to play the violin.

I saluted him, and the rockets burst above us like fireworks in the stars.Then I ran quickly to the starboard side. Lifeboat No. [-] had already been lowered, and the commander in charge of lowering the lifeboat shouted loudly: "Women and children get on board first, please come forward."

I was pushed forward, the hat was given to Jack, and no one would mistake me for a man even if I was wearing masculine clothing.I can hardly imagine how to find Carl in such a chaotic crowd. This is not a TV series. I can tell him as soon as he appears.

After finally gaining a foothold, I was crowded to the front of the lifeboat.A crew member wearing a sailor's cap with the white star logo, and several crew members standing in the lifeboat are helping the woman sit down steadily.This is a technical job, and some women don't want to go up at all, for fear that this crumbling boat will break into pieces in the sea.

One woman complained angrily, "I've never been on such a small boat in my life."

I gasped slightly, and the white mist dissipated in the air.Someone suddenly grabbed my hand, and he said in surprise: "Emily, you are here, hurry up and get on board." After he finished speaking, he dragged me vigorously to the lifeboat, I struggled instinctively, and turned my head to see As for the sweaty Jack, it's not easy for him to make himself like this in this kind of weather.

"You haven't boarded the boat yet." I hurriedly stopped his rude movements, and was almost pushed onto the lifeboat by him.

"I went to inform Brizio just now, worried that they might not know what happened, but I didn't find him." Jack saw that he was running around the boat, and his whole body was exhausted. "If I hadn't been wearing the clothes of a first-class passenger, I might have been locked up in third class."

"Ma'am, hurry up." The commander standing beside the lifeboat stretched out his hand to greet me. He looked around, but he didn't seem to find any women or children except me, and the lifeboat obviously still had space.

"Where's Ruth?" I didn't see Ruth and asked worriedly.

"I got her onto the boat." Jack smiled smugly, and couldn't help rubbing his hands, "She's so strong, she refused to go up no matter what, but I insisted on hugging her up, I promised her, Definitely going to find her in the lifeboat."

Fate seemed to change at this moment, Ruth went down in the lifeboat first, while Jack was still standing here alive.

"It's not easy to carry her into the lifeboat." I muttered to myself, I couldn't help stepping forward when I was pushed, and I was only two steps away from stepping into the lifeboat. A crew member in charge of rowing the lifeboat stretched out his hand to hold me, Worried that I would fall.

But I quickly reacted and looked back. The people on the starboard side were huddled together, and the water in the bow had not yet soaked up, so the worst chaos was not yet at the end.I whispered, "Carl?"

But no one responded here, and another rocket took off again, under the huge starry sky, it was extremely gorgeous.

"Did you see Carl?" I always felt that I missed something. Generally speaking, the first-class passengers on the lifeboat are the first-class passengers, which means I didn't see him in the dining room. It was right to find him.But don't talk about Carl, I haven't even seen an old poodle.

"That bastard Hockley?" Jack took a breath, reached out to wipe the sweat on his face, and rolled his eyes a little guilty, "Well... I saw him get on the lifeboat, did you see that, it's that one?" The boat, what date is it coming, it’s already swimming in the sea quickly.” Jack stretched out his hand and pointed in the sea, there were a few lifeboats floating in the sea, all of them were human heads, far away from the light I couldn’t see clearly who was inside .

I took a look and then looked back at Jack, Jack was stared at me involuntarily with his mouth open, his hands in his coat pockets uncomfortably, "So hurry up, you will meet again soon, although he is not A nice guy, but he's still very protective of you."

"Where is he?" The dodge in Jack's eyes was so obvious that I couldn't ignore it.

"On the lifeboat." Jack did not change his words.

"He didn't get on the lifeboat, he didn't even get to the deck of the lifeboat? Didn't he know the ship was going to sink?" I couldn't help raising my voice. If Carl didn't know the situation of the ship at all, he might die. The Titanic died the most when it sank. It's men.

"No, no, no, Emily, listen to me, Cal Hockley has been on the deck of the lifeboat, and Ruth and I have told him about the condition of the boat, but..." Jack approached me, grabbing my arm with both hands , Pushing me hard into the lifeboat, "But he went to find you, and he was very angry because we didn't bring you up. But now you get on the boat first, I will go to him, and I will definitely help you bring that bastard Come back. Go up first, please." Jack's tail trembled, and anxiety climbed up his sweaty face, and he pleaded in a low voice, "This ship is going to sink, and many people will die, at least you and Ruth will survive. "

"Ruth is waiting for you." Pushed by him, I backed away bit by bit towards the boat. There was already a woman on the boat who made way, and there was still space on the lifeboat, and I was the only woman on the starboard side.

"Tell Ruth for me that I love her." Jack looked at me firmly, without a trace of fear, "I never regret being on the Titanic, I'm a lucky one, I believe I can survive. And now When a man shows a gentleman's demeanor, women take priority, you have to live, you still have dreams waiting to be realized."

"Hurry up, the lifeboat is about to start lowering." The crew urged loudly, and he couldn't help reaching out to grab me.

The rocket continued to soar into the sky, as if it was the final curtain call of the life of this magnificent ship.On the bridge, the Morse code signal lights flickered and flickered.

Through the light, I saw the dining room behind the glass windows on the ship. There were still some guests warming up inside, wearing black tuxedos or pajamas, and the waiters were still trying to persuade them to put on white life jackets.

"He went to see me?" It was such bad news that we almost missed each other.Taking another step back, I have already stepped into the boat with one foot, and the other foot is still on the big boat.There is a thin line between life and death, I stared at Jack's blue eyes, and saw a bright luster in his eyes, like the last burning of life.

"Goodbye, Emily." Jack thought he had finally pushed me into the lifeboat, he let go, and at this moment I reached out and dragged his clothes, and pulled him onto the lifeboat.

The lifeboat shook because of this accident, and several women screamed, but I was unmoved, and I stepped on the big ship with strength, and used the strength of Jack's fall to get back on the Titanic.Jack collapsed in the lifeboat with a look of astonishment on his face. He hurriedly tried to stand up, but for a while, the constraints of the boat bound his hands and feet.

"I love you, this kind of farewell is better for you to say." I stood in front of the lifeboat and said to Jack.Then I waved my hands and yelled in a hoarse voice, "Put it down, put the boat down." At the moment of racing against time, my shouting made the crew who were ready to go quickly lower the lifeboat.

The rope began to descend, and the friction of the gears creaked.

Jack tried to grab the side of the big boat with both hands, and he yelled in shock, "Wait a minute, Emily."

But the lifeboat was already descending, and the crew on the small boat would not allow him to make such a dangerous move. One of the crew members pulled him back and warned him angrily, "Sir, sit down."

"Go help rowing, Jack." I stood on the big boat and looked down at him, and I kept looking at him until it was impossible for him to return to the Titanic.

Jack raised his head, the light began to go out, he gradually approached the dark sea, and soon I couldn't even see his expression clearly.

The lifeboat and, for a woman, it's easy to get on board at this time, and I saw a pair of lovers embracing each other.The water has come to the place where the name is engraved on the hull, and the bow of the ship is tilted into the sea water. You can almost hear the dying sound of the iron plate on the bottom of the ship creaking and breaking in the depths of the sea.

I have stopped thinking about movies, history, and everyone's fate.

Carl turned back to look for me, and if I were in the lifeboat it was almost impossible to imagine how long he would last.Because no one told him that I was no longer on the Titanic.

I pushed away the crowded crowd, and the cold light whiskers floated in the air.The violins of the White Star Band played cheerfully, as if for this group of musicians, death and escape did not exist, and they were happy to gather and communicate at this last moment.

And another group of people, Andrew and his drawing director, electrician, and plumber are using their precise brains to desperately maintain the balance of the cruise ship and keep the lights on.

I yelled through the crowd, "Cal Hockley, here I am..."

Running from starboard to port, regardless of the damaged vocal cords, I ran all the way forward, "I'm here, Carl." If he can't find me, he may return to the deck of the lifeboat, and after I'm sure he's not there, I don't Rushed down the gangway, intending to go back to floor b to find him again.

Just passing by the White Star Band, Hallett's violin was still on his shoulders, his chin resting on the body of the violin, and when he saw me, he hurriedly called out, "Emily, get on the lifeboat."

I didn't have much time to respond to him, "Hurry up, too."

"I still have a job." Hallett closed his eyes and continued to play the violin.

I walked down the familiar corridor and returned to the suite, but I couldn't get into the room because the door was locked.I knocked hard on the door panel and shouted hoarsely, "Is anyone there?"

"What are you going to do?" A waiter in white uniform ran over to stop me, "Sir...no, I said miss, you should go to the deck, are you back to look for your dog?"

"I'm here to find my man." I couldn't bear to hammer on the door. If Carl came back to find me, who knows if he would be locked inside.

"The guests have all gone up, there is no one here." The waiter was about to go crazy, he probably couldn't stand being annoyed by so many guests, and I became the last straw.

Also, Carl probably wouldn't be stupid enough to be locked in a room.But I was lucky enough to knock on the door again, and a horrifying thought appeared in my brain, if he suddenly fainted from a relapse of the head injury, and then no one knew that he collapsed in the room and locked him up... This idea can be very dangerous. It was horrible.

I knocked on the door harder, and the waiter tried to convince me, "There is no one, there is really no one inside, you should go up and look for it...Okay, I will open the door for you." He lost his temper by me, He could only take out a bunch of keys, and opened the door with trembling fingers.

I immediately opened the door and walked in. The waiter followed me closely, worried that I was here to steal.I walked quickly and familiarly from his room to Ruth's room, and strolled around the private deck again.When Karl came back, the safe was half open, and some important financial and documents inside were taken away.

In this era without mobile phones, what method should I use to find a person who keeps passing me by?At this time, Titanic was as big as a city. I never thought that we could be separated on a ship.

When I left the room, the waiter immediately locked the door professionally. I thanked him and walked back holding my throat.

Halfway through the walk, the white lights in the corridor dimmed for a moment like a short circuit, and then quickly returned to light.My eyes were dazzled by this accident, and I finally stopped my hurried steps, lowered my head and panted.

After resting for three seconds, I stretched out my hands to support the wall and walked forward.The tilt of the ship is already obvious, and the corridor is like a long time tunnel, which seems to be endless.
