[Titanic] True Love Is Eternal
Chapter 71 The Fool
After walking out of the white corridor, I suddenly stopped running for my life, and looked back at the empty corridor, almost all the guests here fled.
I first had to figure out where that guy Carl was going, he couldn't see me on the upper deck and came back here, but we didn't meet each other halfway, and the worst thing is that he and I are still on the boat.The longer the time passes, the slimmer the chances of being rescued.
Back on the grand staircase, I was trying to get a specific time figure when several gunshots from above made me jerk my head up.It seems that the scene has become chaotic, and the crew can only maintain the rescue order by threatening firearms.
In the grand stairwell, I stood next to the pillars adjacent to the first-class corridor on the b-floor. The giant glass vault supported by the iron pillars above my head looked very solid, and those cold and transparent large chandeliers were still bright and bright.
I looked down from the grand staircase, and the water had overflowed the e floor, and there were some chairs and tablecloths floating in the clean sea water.Someone was still running up the stairs below, and there was the sound of splashing water, as if they were guests who came up from the second or third class cabin.They couldn't get to the deck of the lifeboat through other channels, so they may have come here through other places.
I'm going to guard the door above, that's where Karl is most likely to meet him if he doesn't see me on deck.After all, it is almost an impossible task to find him among the thousands of desperately fleeing people.
I was just about to leave the railing of the grand staircase and go up, but my gaze suddenly stopped, and then I looked down again, and finally saw a familiar figure.A little girl, with brown curly hair and a pair of round eyes with aura, looked around blankly while holding a doll.
Damn it!I reached out and scratched my hair angrily, why did her parents leave her alone.
Little Corola looked up, it seemed that the lights here were too bright, making her blink her eyes.Without any hesitation, I quickly ran down the upper stairs. The water will soon flood the lower deck. If she is placed here, this little girl of a few years old will drown without waiting for the ship to sink.
"Emily." Korola seemed to finally see someone she knew, she showed a big smile, and two front teeth were missing.She got acquainted with me when I went to the third-class lounge.
"Where are your parents?" I finally rushed to her side step by step, squatting down and reaching out to hug her.
"I don't know." Little Corolla frowned like an adult, and then she grabbed my clothes, "Emily, can you teach me how to dance?"
"Dancing?" I looked distractedly down one floor, trying to see where her parents were.
"You are beautiful when you dance, I like it." Corolla said childishly.
"I'm glad you said that, but now let's go up there, I'll take you into the lifeboat, and I'll teach you when I get ashore." I don't have time to find Corolla's parents, so I can only bring her up first.
Holding her hand, I stood up, the boat shook, the electric light dimmed again, and the light was dying, and I clearly heard some voices rubbing against the wall with difficulty and creeping towards us.When the danger came, the back of my neck suddenly went numb due to fear, and I reflexively pushed Corolla forward with a strong hand. I couldn't even see what the danger was, so I ran forward.
After a fierce struggle, the electric light quickly returned to light, but my eyes were irritated by the sudden light, and in this gap of blinking and pause, the huge black shadow behind me smashed towards me in a destructive manner.I was knocked to the ground by this force, and my head hit the ground heavily, and everything in front of me was completely black for a while.Before I could catch my breath, the severe pain after the paralysis had no warning, it crazily crushed your pain-feeling nerves, and went straight to the forehead.
My whole body was numb from the pain, and I seemed to be able to hear the crackling sound of my own bones breaking in the tinnitus.
Take a deep breath, even such a simple action is like breathing a blade, I almost suspect that all the internal organs have been displaced.Looking up, the lights in my pupils disintegrated into some kind of chaotic light spots. I vaguely saw Corola standing beside the stairs, and she seemed to be planning to run back.I immediately gritted my teeth and shouted at her angrily: "Go up, hurry up."
Corolla hugged the doll tightly and stared at me blankly, as if frightened by my appearance, I repeated impatiently, "Come up to me, Corolla."
The little girl took two steps back before quickly turning around and running up the stairs.
As soon as she left my sight, I immediately lost my strength and collapsed on the ground, breathing with difficulty.I managed to look sideways and looked back, only to find that a large sideboard placed on the rear wall had collapsed and hit me right on top of me. Because I dodged for a while, the corner of the cabinet hit my right leg directly.A lot of porcelain, teacups and other small utensils fell out of the cabinet, hitting my back, arms, and surrounding areas.
I lay on the ground, sweating profusely in pain, unable to make a sound.I barely wanted to move, but the wound on the leg bone was squeezed by the force of the cabinet. I was a little dazed by the overwhelming pain, and I became dizzy, and the electric lights above my head were crowded into a dense crowd. The swirl makes me sick.
For a while I was completely still, lying on my stomach without daring to move, my bangs soaked in sweat from the excessive pain.I know where the most serious injury is... the right foot, the most optimistic estimate is a broken foot, which can be recovered through surgical rehabilitation.But what I am most afraid of is that my foot is actually broken, just like my car accident, there is no chance to stand up at all.
This pain surged up together with the exhaustion from deep in my body, making me even more powerless.
I lay on my stomach and my mind went blank.I don't know how long it took, a strange and cold sound began to approach me, like the gurgling of water, coming from all directions, just listening to it gave me an uncomfortable feeling of being drowned.
I paused for a while, and finally reacted, raised my heavy head vigilantly and quickly, and the transparent seawater began to spread from the lower layer to the upper layer.I saw a large area of running water rushing towards me from the overflowing stairs below. Within a few seconds, there was a layer of shallow water under me, which made me wake up suddenly with a start.
I can't wait to die here, I still have a lot of things to do.Supporting my body with my hands, I let out a hissing gasp, and blood flowed from my right leg, which was still pressed under the cabinet, and soon the sea water next to me turned a light red.
The clothes were all soaked, some pieces of porcelain cut my palms, and the water was getting more and more. I moved my right leg that was pressed, and the pain made me unable to move, and the wound on the lower leg would get worse with just a little movement.I endured it, and finally mustered up the courage to close my eyes and drag my calf out from under the cabinet with all my might.
I think that as long as people have the instinct to survive, I was driven by this instinct to stay away from the seawater rushing upwards.Little by little, I rubbed against the grand staircase approaching the upper floor. I grabbed the handrail with blood on my hands, and climbed up several steps firmly and slowly. For the first time, I found that these expensive oak trees were as hard as knives. Same, it makes my stomach hurt.
I looked up, and the water had come to my feet, but I didn't feel the cold, maybe my feet were numb, or I was too weak to distinguish between pain and cold.
The frosted glass dome above my head was still so bright and gorgeous, I stared at the light and climbed up.The hair was all soaked and stuck to my face in strips. The dampness became a weight, and I almost gave up lying on the stairs waiting to die.
In fact, I wear a life jacket under my overcoat, so I won't drown if I fall into the water, but I will freeze to death.I could feel my weakness, the cut on my calf bleeding so much, the red that was taken away by the water was as precious as life force.
I began to be unable to keep my mind clear, and even my vision was darkening, and the light turned into strange shapes and became chaotic.The water slowly covered my feet, calves, and thighs. I was still shaking with one hand on the black railing of the upper step.
I tried to pull myself together, my mind scrambling to distract myself from falling into the abyss of hopeless failure.I thought about my dancing life, my parents who had failed marriages, and being alone.Then I thought of the heavy snow on the streets of England, the Titanic, and Carl.
This memory is chaotic and fragmented, like a memoir of a dying person.
Suddenly I wasn't expecting to find Carl, but I was hoping he'd go straight to the lifeboat.Life is always worth more than love, and he is a hard-hearted businessman who knows how to make trade-offs.
In this era, we come from different classes, have very different personalities, and the time of love is too short.He shouldn't be risking his life to come back to me again because it's definitely not a good deal.
I lay motionless on the halfway stairs, with one hand firmly grasping the railing above, the blood in the palm of my hand slid down my wrist, staining the sleeves of my white shirt under my overcoat red.I was having trouble breathing and was on the verge of death.
I think as long as I give up the 4020 e-book for even a second, I can faint immediately.
The water was going up, and a chair floated past me, and I felt like I was floating too, and if I let go, I would become a dead body.Slowly raising my head again, following the blood on my wrist, I stared blankly at the hand that would never give up to survive, and the ring worn by Karl was still there on the finger.
Like one long nightmare, I started to wake up, the water had spread to my chest.I clung to the railing relentlessly, and another kind of strength struggled to overcome the extreme exhaustion of my body, which gave me the perseverance to keep going up.Even if the last bit of potential in my body is exhausted, I still have to stand, no matter how painful it is, my bones are broken, my body collapses, I can't fall down.
I stretched out my other hand, and my lower body was completely numb, so I could only climb up with the strength of my hand.I looked at the lights above my head, at the light-colored reliefs and colorful hanging paintings under those chaotic lights.It seems that these things can give me a goal, so that I can persist in getting out of the cold water and keep going up.
I know that the ship will sink soon. As long as Carl is not a fool, he should know that he must get on the lifeboat at this moment. He is not Jack, and he has more ways to get up.Corola is a child, as long as she runs up, she will definitely meet a gentlemanly man, and someone will always send her to the lifeboat.That is to say, I hope that everyone on the lifeboat should be able to survive, that Jack and Ruth can meet again, and that Carl can continue to live the life of a rich second generation.
It's perfect... Damn, I'm the only one who is still so unlucky that I can't save myself even through time travel.
What the hell am I doing in this damn place?Have you ever been addicted to shipwrecks?While cursing God and Buddha, I finally managed to climb to the unflooded stairwell on the upper floor, and my body collapsed against the bronze railing. I think this is the limit, and I have used up the last bit of potential.The water came up quickly, and I couldn't avoid it when the time came.
I stroked the ring on my finger bloody, and looked at it in a daze. I couldn't see anything clearly, and everything I saw was covered with a rough layer of gray, as if I had been put into a coffin early.
Damp hair presses against my eyelids and water runs down the middle of my cheek like I'm crying.
In fact, death is not so unbearable. I have experienced death three times.I was disabled once in a car accident, once in a plane crash, and once on the streets of England in winter.
Except for the plane crash, the other two luckily survived, and now it is the fourth time, I lost too much blood and was drowned once.
In fact, I don’t want to time travel again. If my life is so short and tiring every time, I’ll just sleep forever.
I couldn't bear to close my eyes, and the surroundings slowly became silent, only the sound of my heartbeat echoed in my chest.I dare not reach out to touch my feet, for fear of touching a stump.
If I can't stand up, then forget it, loneliness and emptiness appear at the same time, and I quietly wait for the death bell to ring when the ship sinks.
The water came up, flowing in all directions with the scythe of death.I vaguely heard a voice, as beautiful as a mirage, touching the ring on my finger, as if saying goodbye to my love.
"Emily." Carl's anxious voice came over with the flowing water.
I thought it was an illusion, and finally raised my eyes, the light above made my eyes hurt.Then I saw a figure coming against the light, his face was flustered and pale, he ran madly down the upper stairs, faster than when he first ran after me.
When this guy chases women, he is really crazy.
I tugged at the corners of my stiff mouth, trying to show a smile to welcome him, but before the smile appeared, my eye sockets got wet first.
"fool."
Fortunately, you are a businessman, you are so stupid that you deserve to go bankrupt.
I first had to figure out where that guy Carl was going, he couldn't see me on the upper deck and came back here, but we didn't meet each other halfway, and the worst thing is that he and I are still on the boat.The longer the time passes, the slimmer the chances of being rescued.
