[Titanic] Harbor

Erica simply walked to the other end of the banquet hall, at the two ends of a diagonal line where Carl was standing, and the distance between the two stood very far.This hides Karl's meaning beyond words.

Erica saw from a distance that Mrs. Bucket and Carl met successfully, and then Ruth left.If Ruth goes out like this, she should meet Jack and start a trip in third class.

She stood very bored, so she sat on the sofa and read the newspaper beside her.The soft sofa made her let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Most people here, when there is no benefit from attending the banquet, it is also very meaningless to wear high heels to torture their feet.

And Titanic's super-first-class service - the news in telegram format is placed beside the sofa, so that passengers can understand the real-time developments on the road even at sea.This kind of service keeps her from being too embarrassed now that there is no one to communicate with.

Although it's not easy to go there - reading a newspaper in a lively banquet hall, she can imagine how many strange eyes she can attract!

After the newspaper was opened, Erica felt a little uncomfortable.It is not so much a newspaper as it is an article arranged one by one.The titles of these articles are so abstract that if you don't read the full text, there's no way to fully understand what's going on.

Correspondingly, rows of English letters were squeezed into the cramped space, and she couldn't help feeling dizzy under the surrounding yellow lights.

The original body never read newspapers.She is the kind of authentic lady, she is keen to hone some lady manners when she is at home, she has no stand and opinion of her own, and she does not need these.

Things like position can wait until the original body gets married, and her husband will tell her.

This is very sad.

So from the past to the present, it was the first time for Erica to see the layout of the newspaper-it was amazing!

She suppressed her helpless mood, and began to search for useful news in the boring text.

The first report is about how much the stock price of Baixing Company has risen again. The article exaggerates how hard it is to get these shares now.Occasionally someone throws it out, and it will be divided up by other entrepreneurs and investors.

Erica stroked the rough surface of the paper.Behind this soaring stock price is the great confidence of the public in the Titanic.

But strictly speaking, there is still a certain amount of hype and bubbles in it. Once something goes wrong with the Titanic, these shares will immediately be like a hot potato, causing these entrepreneurs to burn out.

She cast her eyes on Karl, who was less interested in dealing with Mrs. Bucket in the distance.

——Just like this man, after the Titanic accident, the large amount of White Star shares he held in his hand was enough to make him bankrupt.Even if his family's assets are enough for him to survive this difficulty, but as a company whose steel introduction caused the shipwreck, who would buy these potentially problematic products?

Bankruptcy is probably the end result.

So, it's not worth being angry about Karl's malice now.

When the time comes, Erica will have a chance to make trouble.

What made Erica wonder was that she had offended Carl so much that he blamed herself the first time she saw her?

In the short term, this is estimated to be an unsolved mystery.

In the long run...it depends on whether this man can escape the shipwreck.

Erica finished reading a newspaper, and the rest of the social sections were just gossip. To a certain extent, most of them were about married women and married men hooking up with each other, or it was just chaotic stories about big families. It's amazing.

She put down the newspaper and looked at the time hanging on the wall, it was more than two hours.There would be no one on the deck at this time, so it should be just right for her to go to the deck to have a look.

Others would only think that this strange girl finally couldn't bear the cold reception, and left the banquet sadly and angrily.

Natural protective color!

Erica stood up and put the newspaper back where it belonged.She was alone, and she didn't want to greet anyone, and walked straight out of the gate.

She opened the door, and the room was warm and the lamp was on.Although the first-class guests are all attending the banquet at this time, the heating in the bedroom will not stop because of this, the best service is always available, and extravagance and waste are inevitable.

Erica's maid is assigned on the ship, so when Erica doesn't need it, she will still take care of some matters on the ship.

Caddy thoughtfully hung the cloak that Ruth had returned on a solid wooden frame in the corner, along with a thick hat.

This makes it easier for Erica to travel at night.She didn't change the inner dress, but directly put the cloak on the outside.

In this way, she would not be too deliberate. If she was seen by others, she would just go to the deck on a whim.

Erica's cloak is made of Angora wool, which is gray overall, but the stitching is made of white wool, which looks layered.The cloak was so big that although it couldn't cover her whole body, it went beyond her knees.

Such a piece of clothing on an indoor boat is very warm.

But on the deck, this is obviously not enough.

Erica has been engaged in work related to ocean and freight for a long time.A few years ago, her position was still low. In order to better solve some unexpected problems, she would also go on board to work, so she had a good understanding of some processes on board. The sea breeze at night was so cold that it could blow to the bone.

If you go up without making any preparations, you will easily get a serious illness. If you wear unlined clothes and stay for a long time, you may get a whole body of diseases and even die.

Therefore, in many shipwrecks in history, even if life-saving tools were in place, the survival rate would still be reduced due to factors such as temperature.

So, Erica got herself a [-]ml bottle of whiskey, which she took at the banquet.People who saw it probably thought that this girl was going to drink to drown her sorrows.But spirits, when necessary, can dispel the cold and improve the chances of survival.

She put the wine in the pocket of her cloak, and it was impossible to see what was hidden under the wide cloak.

There was no one in the corridor, and the Titanic at night was relaxed enough, and she walked smoothly along the way.

Erica boarded the deck alone.The salty sea breeze blew in her face, and she shivered from the cold!

——Sea, a familiar feeling.

When in the cabin, those overly luxurious configurations always make it easy for Erica to forget the fact that she is still at sea, and die in peace.

And only in such a dark night like this time can she clearly realize that - time is running out!

Unable to bear the cold, she directly took out the wine bottle hidden in the cloak.When the cloak was opened, it brought out some heat, which made her tremble so much that she almost dropped the wine bottle on the ground.

The climate here is different from the sea area she is familiar with, and it is obvious that the cold here is even more merciless.

Erica opened the bottle of whiskey and took a sip. 'Pure drinking' is the most direct way to drink whiskey. The spicy liquor flows down the throat to the internal organs. The first thing to be warmed is the stomach, and then other parts of the body are also warmed up quickly. Soon, Erica It's not that uncomfortable anymore.

Whiskey is regarded as strong alcohol, and it is very strong. Erica is very lucky for her body, and she can drink well.

She took a few steps forward, looking back at the warm cabin, the bright lights seemed to guide the people standing outside to come back quickly.

And going forward, there is a cold guardrail, and the entire sea is shrouded in darkness.

Only in the dark can we see the bright stars.

Erica always loved Stars at Sea.No matter what you call this background is the sky or the sky, it is the falling of the Milky Way, a continuous piece.

The Titanic is in motion all the time, but the sky is always the same.

She walked forward by the faint starlight and the light from the cabin behind her.

The coldest thing on my body was the footsteps where there was no cloak to cover, there was only a thin floor-sweeping dress, and there was no way to resist the cold at this time.She was almost numb, but she could still feel something kicked against her foot.

She lowered her head and saw a dark mass, which seemed familiar.

a mouse?

that mouse!

Erica knelt down, and for the sake of this rare chance, she reached out and poked the ridiculously stupid mouse.

Not dead yet, but not far away!

It was probably discovered by the people in the third class, and I don't know which stupid guy was tricked by this guy's skill of pretending to be dead, so he just threw it on the deck.

Erica hesitated, and the best thing to do at this point was to kick the mouse into the sea, so that she would have nothing to do.

Or, since the rat appears to be owned, an alternative would be to put it back in the cabin.

She touched the mouse's fur, and she couldn't see it!Since you can't see the dirty and black skin of this mouse, in terms of the feel alone, a warm mouse is really cute!

But the rats probably don't think so.

Erica's breath made him jump up from his half-dead state.It was probably too panicked, and it made a circle in Erica's hand, which gave Erica the urge to grab its little tail again.

But the development of things is always unexpected.

This cowardly mouse in Erica's eyes actually bit Erica's finger, which surprised Erica a lot!

There are too many germs that mice can carry, not to mention the sensational Black Death, even if it is just a fever, it is enough to kill people at sea!

She didn't care whether the mouse had an owner or not, she threw the mouse out with a shake of her hand, and then looked at the bitten place on her hand with the dim light.

——Not even the skin was broken, it was just a little bit of mouse saliva.

Erica breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that the mouse was still lingering around her.

As if to show the way.

I have seen dogs guide people, but I have never seen mice guide them!Hope it's not carrying yourself to see a moldy piece of cheese!

Erica stomped her feet coldly, curiosity drove her to follow the mouse into the dark.

After turning a corner, there was only extremely blurred starlight, and Erica couldn't feel the trace of the mouse if she was not paying attention.

In the silence, only the howling of the sea breeze can be heard.

Not just that.

It seems that there is still a person breathing!

Erica took half a step back in fright, her face became very ugly.How could there be another person here?

The owner of this mouse!
