Chapter 12 Self-Rescue
"The boiler room has been closed." Andrew joined Lu Bu on the deck and said seriously: "I just calculated that even so, this ship can last for up to three hours."
"The water inlet of my bar is partially blocked, but not completely blocked. This can only last for half an hour at most. The ideal state is three and a half hours. Find rescue as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Andrew nodded, and the two of them rushed to the deck. Andrew went to the captain and others to discuss the rescue. Lu Bu chose to call his father and Johnny.
"Bu'er, what happened?" Lu Shuxian looked at Lu Bu and asked.
"The ship is about to sink. Father, prepare yourself. Put on a lifejacket. Don't bring any unnecessary things." Lu Bu took out the lifejacket from the cabin and asked Lu Shuxian to put it on.
As for Johnny, there was no need for Lu Bu to say that he was already wearing a life jacket when he heard that the boat would sink.
Lu Shuxian looked at Lu Bu and said, "Be careful. What can't I do for you as a father?"
"As long as father lives, it will be fine." Lu Bu nodded, looked at Johnny and said, "Follow father and wait for me on the deck."
After saying that, Lu Bu went straight to the first class cabin.
"Little guy, you can't come in!" The first-class crew member politely tried to stop Lu Bu.
"Bang~" Tie Suo was pulled down by Lu Bu under the astonished eyes of the crew.
Lu Bu pushed aside the crew members and walked straight to the smoking room. Andrew's voice was heard far away.
"Gentlemen, three and a half hours at most. Mr. Smith also said that the nearest ship will take four hours to arrive. We must take action now." Andrew looked at a group of nobles.
"Andrew, the Titanic won't sink so easily. Didn't Smith already have people repair it? Why bother with so many troops?" Ismay was very dissatisfied with Andrew's recklessness and rudeness.
"No, believe me, the limit of being able to hold on until dawn is already the limit. We must take action. Everything Mr. Smith has done is in vain. Mr. Lu Bu and I have already been to the sealed cabin and boiler room, and the water has spread in. This process is irreversible." Andrew looked at Ismay seriously.
"Mr. Andrew, you must be responsible for your words and deeds!" Ismay looked at Andrew seriously.
"Of course, that's why I hope you can unite and use your influence to maintain order on the ship and allow everyone to leave in an orderly manner." Andrew nodded.
"Are you kidding? Shouldn't we block the news at this time and let the superior people on the ship leave first?"
Everyone was silent. In theory, of course, this would not work. Regardless of England or the United States, once this kind of thing spreads, they will definitely be condemned by society. However...
"Mr. Andrew, I have sent people to gather people. I need your help." Lu Bu had already come in from the door.
"Who let you in!?" The rich man who just spoke looked at Lu Bu with shame and anger, and roared sharply: "Guard, give me this rude yellow-skinned monkey..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Bu suddenly disappeared. It was not that he disappeared, but he disappeared too quickly. The next moment, the body of the rich man who spoke exploded into a bloody mist in front of everyone's horrified eyes.
Lu Bu emerged from the blood mist, landed on the desk, and looked around: "I am not interested in discussing the advantages and disadvantages of human races with you now. I want to get through the disaster in front of me. If you have the ability to help, that would be great. However, if not, I hope you can shut up for the time being, I don’t control my emotions all the time!”
Everyone, including Andrew, looked at Lu Bu in horror as the blood mist filled the air. Some people sat down directly on the ground. This child from the Eastern Qing Dynasty once again subverted their world view. A living person, just like that. So torn apart! ?
Faced with Lu Bu's intimidation, everyone chose to remain silent at this moment.
"Now listen to me and ask the captain to give up the meaningless repairs and ask all the carpenters to come to the deck. This shipwreck will only have hope of survival if we work together as one. Go quickly!" Lu Bu looked at Andrew and said: "I want to temporarily Take over the ship."
"Okay!" Andrew, who had recovered, left with a complicated mood. He was not used to this vigorous and resolute style. Lu Bu's image of killing people frequently also greatly reduced his favorable impression of Lu Bu, but he knew that what Lu Bu said now was the most correct. Yes, there is no point in emergency repairs now. You should spend your precious time on saving people!
"If you want to do your best, please help. If you don't want to, please don't cause trouble!" Lu Bu looked at the others and said in a deep voice.
No one answered, as if it was a silent protest, but this was also a kind of acquiescence.
Lu Bu jumped off the table and walked outside. Soon, Andrew brought Captain Smith to Lu Bu's side. He frowned and looked at this oriental child with fresh blood on his body. He couldn't believe what this child could do to save this little boy. Boat: "Kid, what do you want to do?"
"All guards are responsible for maintaining order. All lifeboats have been taken out. The old, young, sick and disabled will be rescued first. Does the captain agree?" Lu Bu didn't force it. He had to follow rules and regulations when doing things. He had already established Wei, and then it was time to show off. Ability, he needs the help of these people, at least it can be used more easily than ordinary people.
"Yes, young gentleman." The captain nodded and immediately asked the first mate to do these things: "But there is a shortage of manpower."
"Don't worry, more people will join in soon!" Lu Bu looked at Jack and Rose running with a group of people on the other side.
"Hey, Lu, are these people enough?" Jack looked at Lu Bu.
"It's not enough, we need more." Lu Bu took a step forward, opened his spiritual world to the extreme that he could achieve, and said loudly: "The ship is going to sink. We don't have much time. If everyone is running around like headless flies, , will only prevent those who should be saved from being saved. The current temperature is 31 degrees Fahrenheit, and the sea water will only get colder. If we want to fight against this harsh environment, we must unite!"
His voice was childish, yet powerful, and had an inexplicable ability to convince people. Standing among the crowd, Jack even felt like he was surging with passion.
"Tell me, what are you going to do!?" Jack shouted.
"The old, young, sick and disabled board the lifeboat first. We must maintain order. Jack, I need more people to do this. Others, in groups of ten, will cooperate with the staff on the ship to prepare the lifeboat and prepare to put the first Send a group of crew members down!" Lu Bu looked at Jack and said after grabbing the drawing board and pen from Jack's hand.
"Okay!" Jack agreed and left immediately.
Lu Bu quickly found a piece of paper, drew the outline of a ship with charcoal, filled in a few more data, and called Andrew over: "Take the shipwrights and carpenters on the ship to make a lifeboat according to this drawing!"
"What a bold idea!" Andrew exclaimed as he looked at the boat drawn by Lu Bu.
"Do it as soon as possible and take out all the tools! I will find people who know carpentry among the passengers to help you and do as much as possible." Lu Bu looked at Andrew and said.
"But even if the materials are disassembled, it's too late!" Andrew said with a bitter smile.
"Don't worry, we have people!" Lu Bu looked at Andrew and said, "Go and prepare first, the materials will be sent to you soon!"
"good!"
Andrew nodded in agreement and left quickly.
Soon, Jack brought more people to look for Lu Bu: "The news has spread, and there is already a mess down there!"
"Let everyone calm down!" Lu Bu looked at these people and said: "Gentlemen, since everyone already knows, I won't say more. We have to fight against this sea and this ship that is about to sink. We have to fight against time. , is there anyone here who is good at carpentry? There are not enough lifeboats, we need more carpenters!”
A few walked out one after another, and were arranged by Lu Bu to go to Andrew's side.
"We still need lumberjacks. The ship boards here are all made of our materials. We must race against time. Those with excellent results can leave by ship first!" Lu Bu said, looking at the crowd.
Logging is not difficult, but it is not simple. If the wooden boards are too broken, it will not be possible to make a boat. In order to avoid omissions, Lu Bu designed a fusiform boat with three levels of space underneath. There are still some requirements for woodcutters.
Another group of people came out and were directly assigned to cut trees.
The remaining men were responsible for maintaining order and transporting wood.
All the doors to the third-class cabin were opened, and with Lu Bu running back and forth, order was actually maintained.
Watching Lu Bu running back and forth on the boat, he couldn't believe that the opponent was only five years old. He was powerful and decisive, but he was decisive in killing. If you didn't consider that the opponent was only four years old, he was obviously a powerful general!
Smith was completely convinced at this moment, and cooperated with Lu Bu to direct the staff on the ship to arrange for the young, old, women and children to get on the lifeboat.
"Finally I found you, you bastards!" Karl came out with Ludger. When he saw Jack and Rose following Lu Bu, he roared angrily and was about to charge forward.
"I don't want to kill anyone now!" Lu Bu turned around. His cold gaze made Karl and Leger calm down quickly. He pointed around and said, "The ship is about to sink. We are saving ourselves. I don't care what grudges you have, but it's best not to do it now." Make trouble, our time is precious!”
"Fa...what happened?" Karl felt uncomfortable under Lu Bu's cold gaze. He wanted to resist, but the dark blood stains on Lu Bu's body made him afraid to move. The sight in front of him also shocked him.
Lu Bu ignored him and continued to patrol with Jack and Rose. All he had to do was maintain order. Jack and Rose could talk to the guests in the third class and first class respectively, which saved Lu Bu a lot of energy.
"Do you need me to do anything?" An old man in a straight dress looked at Lu Bu with a friendly smile.
"No, as an elder, you, like women and children, are among the first to board the ship. Go and line up, the queue has already started over there." Lu Bu glanced at him and nodded politely.
"Don't be anxious, don't you still have time?" The old man nodded, looked at Lu Bu with appreciation and said: "If you are lucky enough to get out alive and you encounter any problems in the United States, you can call this phone. We owe you a life, little gentleman. "
The butler beside him handed over a business card with both hands.
"It's an honor!" Lu Bu didn't refuse. He had already collected a lot of such business cards. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, having them was better than nothing.
------Digression-----
A little better than yesterday. Slowly set the time. I hope I can get some good sleep before the end.
