Chapter 1097 Women and Children Are Allowed on Board, but the Wealthy Are Given Priority

Many people thought that the Titanic sank directly after hitting the iceberg.

In fact, this process lasted for a long time.

When the incident first happened, many people still thought that the ship would not sink.

Even at this time, after hearing what Zhao Chuanxin said and the violent shaking of the hull, many people in the restaurant still disagreed.

But old Morgan had no luck in his heart.

Zhao Chuanxin sold insurance, boarded the ship, and waited on time. A series of things have explained the problem.

However, he was curious: "Zhao, how did you know?"

Zhao Chuanxin gave armbands to the people present.

This is an armband made of luminous minerals. After absorbing sunlight during the day, it can shine all night, although it is not very bright.

This was specially purchased from the "Old God Code".

Zhao Chuanxin said as he put the armband on old Morgan: "In a warm winter, icebergs will drift further south. This is the first reason. Titanic was too concerned about its reputation as the world's first luxury ship and was eager to go to sea without preparation. This is the second reason. The lookout didn't even have a telescope and had to rely on naked eye observation. This is the third reason. Based on the Titanic's speed of 22 knots, it will hit the iceberg almost tonight. This is the fourth reason."

People who don't understand these things think it's magical.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't lie about the cause of the Titanic accident.

Because it would be exposed soon.

If it really hit an iceberg, then Zhao Chuanxin really predicted it.

But old Morgan obviously didn't believe it.

But Alfred Vanderbilt believed it.

He put on his armband and frowned, asking, "Mr. Zhao, why didn't you notify the captain in advance? This way the ship could avoid hitting the iceberg."

"Did the White Star Line pay me a penny? Why should I tell him?"

"Ah this..."

When the others heard this, their faces changed.

"Mr. Zhao, there are more than 2,000 people on this ship. Aren't you too selfish?"

Seeing that everyone had put on their armbands, Zhao Chuanxin said coldly, "This is called respecting the fate of others and letting those who deserve to die die."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand, "Follow me closely."

Someone couldn't help asking, "Where are we going now?"

Zhao Chuanxin led the way in front, "You guys have been dawdling for ten minutes. It is estimated that 4,000 tons of water have entered the bow. Fortunately, there is a waterproof board to block it, so it can still hold on for a while."

Everyone was skeptical.

Because the hull shook a little, there was only a slight friction sound and the roar of the chimney exhaust.

Out of the restaurant, to the deck

Many people woke up from their deep sleep and came to the deck to check the situation.

The temperature was below zero at this time, the stars were shining over the North Atlantic, and the sea was still calm.

In the night, the iceberg that Zhao Chuanxin mentioned could not be seen at all.

But the ship had stopped.

Someone said to Zhao Chuanxin: "This is not an iceberg at all, and the Titanic will never sink!"

"Oh?" Zhao Chuanxin raised his eyebrows: "Then you can stay."

"I..." The man began to hesitate.

He was still with the child.

Zhao Chuanxin ignored him and led people to climb the stairs to the top lifeboat deck.

A crew member ran and told the passengers: "Don't panic, the captain has ordered the ship to stop and summoned engineers to inspect the hull. Everyone go back to their cabins..."

Now, everyone was even more confused.

"Mr. Zhao, this is no joke."

"Yes, if you insist on taking us off the ship in a lifeboat just because we bought insurance, that's too wrong."

"The vast ocean, especially at night, is no joke."

"There is no iceberg at all..."

Zhao Chuanxin listened impatiently: "If anyone doesn't want to follow, give me the insurance policy and armband, and shut up now."

It was 23:53 at this time.

Someone really handed the things to Zhao Chuanxin angrily.

Zhao Chuanxin took it and left without even looking at it.

But at 23:57.

These people began to regret it.

Because more than 7,000 tons of seawater had already poured into the bow, flooding the bow front peak cabin.

Seawater overflowed from the top of the flooded watertight room exit, poured into the third-class cabin, and then covered the upper H deck.

It is conceivable how disturbing the scene of the third-class passengers on the bottom floor screaming and running away was.

What was even more disturbing was that the bow obviously began to sink slowly.

"I changed my mind. I want to follow them."

"Ah? Who are you going with?"

"With Zhao Chuanxin. I bought Thomas Insurance. He will save us..."

"Let's go together..."

When Zhao Chuanxin went to the top lifeboat deck, a crew member reported to Captain Edward Smith in the control room: "The water has flooded the bow cabin, cargo holds 1, 2, 3 and boiler room 6."

The captain hurried to find the designer Thomas Andrews and asked him to assess the damage to the ship.

Thomas Andrew, the builder of the Titanic, had a buzzing head.

He was the designer of the Titanic and knew that the limit of cabin flooding was 4 cabins, which means that it has exceeded the limit now.

The sinking of the Titanic is a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the words he had scolded Thomas W. Lawson, the head of Thomas Insurance and a subordinate of Zhao Chuanxin.

He said with a mocking face at the time: "This ship will never sink."

Slap in the face.

After some calculations, Thomas Andrew told Edward Smith: "This ship is doomed."

Old Edward Smith turned pale: "Send a distress signal immediately and make preparations to release the lifeboat."

When the crew arrived at the top lifeboat deck, they saw Zhao Chuanxin studying how to release the lifeboat.

He jumped directly and studied the toothed davit arm of the lifeboat. He found that this thing needed to be manually rocked and lowered, and at least 8-10 people had to complete it.

Someone asked the crew: "How is it? Is the fault serious?"

The crew told them: "It hit an iceberg. The designer Thomas Andrew said that the Titanic was hopeless. The captain asked us to prepare to release the lifeboat."

Old Morgan thought that was indeed the case.

He wasn't particularly panicked.

Zhao Chuanxin had the foresight and dared to appear on the ship, which was enough to show that he was sure of victory and could save himself.

Looking at Zhao Chuanxin again, he jumped down seven or eight meters, and then jumped back again.

This is simply beyond human comprehension.

Although the crew members were frightened, they still had the courage to step forward: "Sir, you can't release the lifeboat casually..."

Zhao Chuanxin slapped him in the face: "Get out of here."

The crew member was slapped to the ground, covered his face and was stunned for three seconds, then got up and ran to the operation room.

There are three types of lifeboats: shingle lifeboats, folding cork canvas lifeboats, and simple wooden lifeboats.

The first type has a total of 14 ships, the second type has a total of 4 ships, and the third type has two ships.

Zhao Chuanxin had few people here, only about thirty people.

The tiled lifeboat can carry 65 people, the folding cork canvas lifeboat can carry 47 people, and the simple wooden lifeboat can carry 40 people.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and prepared to call someone to help him release the simple wooden lifeboat.

There is no need to take advantage of the small number of people.

At this time, a group of people rushed onto the lifeboat deck, making a lot of noise as if they were attending a party.

Zhao Chuanxin shouted: "Get out of here."

No one listened to him.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled coldly, took out the God of War M1907 and fired.

Chug tug tug…

The people who came up fell down in rows, and the tongues of fire were especially bright at night.

Everyone was frightened.

Especially Alfred Vanderbilt.

Wow...the rumors are true, Zhao Chuanxin is indeed murderous, he will kill when he says it, no nonsense at all.

But someone cried and howled: "Why do you kill people indiscriminately?"

"Fake Squid! If you keep nagging, I'll kill you too."

Zhao Chuanxin asked people to get on the boat first.

Six people, including Alfred Vanderbilt and Morgan Sr., were asked to stay and help swing the crane.

Old Morgan looked at Zhao Chuanxin and said speechlessly: "Why do you want me to stay? How will I get on the ship later?"

Zhao Chuanxin is wearing soft gold armor.

He cursed: "What are you afraid of when I'm here? What are you afraid of?"

Old Morgan stopped talking.

At such a young age, he still has to do physical work.

Zhao Chuanxin wears all kinds of armor, plus auxiliary limbs, and various strength bonuses. One person is stronger than five people.

As the lifeboat was being released, Joseph Ismay rushed to the top deck with guns drawn.

He was startled when he saw the passenger lying in a pool of blood.

After coming up, I found a group of people releasing the lifeboat privately, and immediately asked someone to raise a gun: "Put it down quickly, or we will shoot!"

Old Morgan and the others were startled, so they let go.

Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin.

If he were shot and killed now, it would be an unjust death.

Zhao Chuanxin used his vocal organ to transmit the sound: "I am Zhao Chuanxin. If you fucking dare to shoot me, I swear, I will hammer you into a pile of pulp!"

As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin shook off ten black widow puppets and stood by.

Joseph Ismay had heard of Zhao Chuanxin.

But how to say it?

If you say it's Zhao Chuanxin, does that mean it's Zhao Chuanxin?

He stepped forward with his pistol raised: "I say, lower the lifeboat!"

Bang bang bang...

The Black Widow puppet attacks directly.

Several crew members were shot in the forehead and died. Joseph Ismay was shot in the knees and wrists. The revolver fell to the ground and he knelt on the ground wailing.

Zhao Chuanxin and everyone continued to release the lifeboat.

When the lifeboat fell into the sea, Zhao Chuanxin let go, turned around, came to Joseph Ismay who was kneeling on the ground, and took out a hammer: "Blank it!"

A hammer smashed his shoulder blade.

"Ouch..."

Hammer after hammer.

Joseph Ismay let out an inhuman scream.

The five people left behind were terrified.

Zhao Chuanxin pushed Joseph Ismay to the ground and hammered him so hard that his hands were stuck to the deck.

Zhao Chuanxin always practices what he preaches!

The crew and Titanic designer Thomas Andrews who came up from behind came to the top and saw Joseph Ismay.

His mouth was open and his hands and feet were shaking.

No one dared to step forward.

Zhao Chuanxin's last hammer blow penetrated Joseph Ismay's mind.

He rubbed the hammer, turned around, stretched out his hands to clamp Old Morgan's body, and jumped off the ship.

Alfred Vanderbilt exclaimed and hurried forward to take a look.

But they found that the two of them were like fallen leaves, falling safely on the lifeboat below.

Zhao Chuanxin told everyone on the boat: "Wait a moment, there are four more people."

He jumped six meters, climbed onto the hull of the ship, jumped five times in a row, and reached the top deck.

The people below raised their necks and were dumbfounded, and the people above were also stunned.

Is this still a human being?

"Alfred, it's your turn."

With that said, he jumped down with him in his arms.

The third person is a writer named Archibald Gracie IV.

Zhao Chuanxin took all five people on board and told Old Morgan: "Paddle to the west, I will meet you later."

Old Morgan said nervously: "Zhao, you must come, you must come back..."                     "Don't babble so damn much."

Old Morgan: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and returned to the ship.

What is he doing back?

It's noisy.

There is a lot of furniture on the ship, including carpets, tables, chairs, benches, pianos, etc. They are all good things.

Take what comes.

At 20 am on April 15th.

The seawater has flooded the crew room and the ship has sunk 6 meters.

Edward Smith and Thomas Andrew were persuading passengers to board the lifeboat.

Second and third class passengers wanted to get on board.

Edward Smith, who had previously vowed to treat first, second and third class passengers equally, now led someone to stop them: "Sorry, first class passengers will board first."

"Why?"

"Just because they have money?"

Edward Smith ignored these voices with a straight face and said instead: "Women and children boarded the ship first."

This is how a good reputation is passed down.

After all, the rich and powerful were the first to board the ship. The captain allowed the women and children among them to board the ship first, and it was they who spread the good reputation.

The Waddie lifeboat could carry 65 people, but only a dozen people got on board, so Edward Smith ordered the crew to lower the lifeboat.

In fact, it would not be a problem for this lifeboat to hold seventy people.

In the commotion, the waterproof panels between the boiler rooms deformed due to high temperature, and the water pressure caused the panels to collapse, and the bottom of the water-proof compartment was filled with water.

This leads to a devastating chain reaction.

In less than ten minutes, the lower half of the Titanic's promenade deck was submerged in the water.

This threw the lifeboat operation into chaos.

People started earning money to get on board.

What is Zhao Chuanxin doing?

He shouted: "Come on, help me roll the carpet. Whoever helps me, I will save him."

At this time, we were at the end of the road. Some people listened and went to help, some were at a loss, and some sneered and continued to rush to the lifeboat deck.

Among the people who helped Zhao Chuanxin roll carpets, there were eight Chinese.

They are extremely agile with their hands and feet and are obviously good at work.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and the carpet was put away.

He said: "You guys wait for me here, don't worry."

After saying that, he disappeared on the spot.

The eight Chinese people looked at each other: "Have you met a god?"

Not long after, Zhao Chuanxin appeared again.

He violently kicked open the cabin door and took away everything that was valuable, including the piano, wardrobe, and wine.

Goods piled up around the White House Tavern in Qut Shalam.

On the deck of the lifeboat, Jasmine Brown was helping to arrange for women and children to board the ship.

The boy who had been scolded by her in the restaurant was a little scared when he saw her.

"What are you looking at, why don't you board the ship?"

Only then did the boy dare to get on the boat.

At one o'clock in the morning, lifeboat No. 1 began to take people on.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was in front and eight Chinese were behind, squeezing towards the lifeboat deck.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Follow closely!"

The eight of them followed suit.

Zhao Chuanxin opened his arms and fired his bow left and right, causing the crowd to be pushed around.

Some people cursed and some wanted to be violent.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand.

Gaba.

Cut off this man's wrist.

"Ouch..."

Zhao Chuanxin kicked him away and fell into the sea water.

There was a little girl who was obviously not born into a wealthy family. She was separated from her mother and was crying loudly. She was frightened by the adults pushing her around.

Zhao Chuanxin picked her up, put her on his shoulders, and rushed forward in one breath.

He handed the little girl to Jasmine Brown: "I have nine people here, and there are only twelve people on this boat. Let them get on together and put them down again."

Jasmine Brown does her best.

But Captain Edward Smith said: "No, we need to let the first-class passengers get on first..."

Zhao Chuanxin said with a backhand: "Zhuo Nima, stay away."

Edward Smith was slapped back three meters and fell to the ground.

There was an uproar all around.

Zhao Chuanxin asked eight Chinese to take the little girl on board.

Then they let them lower the lifeboat.

However, one of the Chinese suddenly told Zhao Chuanxin something: "My benefactor, the captain ordered that the third-class cabin door be locked, and they let the rich get on the ship first."

Zhao Chuanxin lifted Edward Smith up from the ground: "Did you order the third-class cabin to be locked?"

Edward Smith scratched his head: "So what? Obviously, some lives are precious and some are cheap. I don't plan to board the ship myself and leave my place to others. I am destined to die anyway. What else can you do to me?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked around and bared his teeth and smiled: "Not very good. I just want everyone to hear what you said, so that someone can help you become famous. Everyone, listen up, he said that the passengers at the bottom deserve to die, and the rich ones If you remember this captain’s words, you must spread them out.”

Edward Smith's expression changed: "..."

Because the Chinese spoke Chinese, everyone present could not understand them.

But everyone can hear clearly the conversation between Zhao Chuanxin and Edward Smith in English.

Edward Smith was old and wanted to die a hero.

In this case, I'm afraid...

Jasmine Brown asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, who are you?"

"Zhao Chuanxin."

The crowd was in uproar again.

Zhao Chuanxin jumped down, climbed up the side of the ship to the third-class cabin, and broke the door lock.

He told the passengers inside: "Captain Edward Smith ordered the cabin door to be locked and let the rich board the ship first. It doesn't matter whether you live or die."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

What's interesting is that the first-class band, led by band conductor Wallace Hartley, even though the ship was about to sink, and even though there were fewer and fewer lifeboats, they were still playing to calm the generals who couldn't get on the ship. The mood of a dead person.

Zhao Chuanxin saw some people jockeying for the first position, while others gave up their positions to others.

He has almost moved it.

He thought about dividing the hull and taking away as much steel as possible.

But it's not yet time.

He came to the band and grabbed a violin.

Open "Beethoven Virus".

The atmosphere changed from tragic to cheerful.

For a time it drowned out other sounds.

The band members were forced to stop and look at him.

Lao Zhao's eldest disciple is a genius, and Lao Zhao is actually not bad either.

He divided learning into two types, one is called natural learning and the other is called structured learning.

Structural learning is like reading, level by level, laying the foundation for reading.

Natural learning is a hands-on learning method that does not pay attention to laying the foundation. He hummed the tune and Li Shutong wrote the score. Li Shutong practiced first and then taught Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin usually learns each piece one piece at a time, without studying the musical notation at all, and only memorizes the techniques by force.

So he couldn't compose, he could only practice existing songs, and he could only play one or two that he had learned.

But when he became proficient in pulling, he could pull better than Li Shutong.

This is the awesome thing about “getting started”.

This is also a benefit brought by Lao Zhao's super self-control of his body.

As soon as the violin music came out, the whole audience was stunned.

Suddenly there was a feeling that they didn't want to board the ship, they wanted to jump directly into the cold water.

Two o'clock in the middle of the night.

The last lifeboat is launched.

The hatch cover of the No. 4 boiler room has been closed for more than an hour, and several workers inside have been working hard to drain the water.

They didn't know it yet, but the hatch cover had been squeezed shut by the water's pressure and couldn't be opened at all.

All their exits are blocked.

Xingyue said to Zhao Chuanxin: "The people in the No. 4 boiler room are a little miserable. The water pressure is about to explode the waterproof panels of their boiler room."

Zhao Chuanxin dropped his violin and appeared frequently.

He got into the water, and Xingyue swam quickly to the bilge of the No. 4 boiler. Zhao Chuanxin activated the light blade to cut through the leaky spot at the bottom. The workers inside were desperate to find that there was more water.

The opening grew larger and larger and was quickly filled.

They splashed in the water.

Because it is filled with water, the water barrier will not be crushed by water pressure.

Zhao Chuanxin threw out the rope and asked them to drag them out in a string under the water.

One of them fell behind because he was unable to hold his breath, and the remaining few were dragged up by Zhao Chuanxin.

Several people gasped for breath.

Zhao Chuanxin said to several workers who had lingering fears: "Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck."

Zhao Chuanxin opened the counter-force rune path, and Xingyue led him up slowly, evaporating water vapor.

He came back to the deck and moved through the crowd.

People were watching him. Suddenly, a woman knelt down in front of Zhao Chuanxin: "Please, Mr. Zhao, save my child..."

At this time, everyone on the ship who was still alive knew that this person was Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin reached out and took the little girl next to the woman.

There were also children present who had not been able to get on the lifeboat. They were all children from poor families.

When the others saw it, they also knelt down in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin walked forward and asked the little girl to hold the hand of a little boy.

The little boy holds another little girl...

In this way, until the end, the number of children Zhao Chuanxin led was estimated to be more than twenty.

Captain Edward Smith's lips moved, but he said nothing in the end.

These are all children who were deliberately abandoned by him.

Thomas Andrews looked ashamed and felt the ship's sinking speeding up. He smiled bitterly and said, "If possible, please ask Zhao Chuanxin to save these children."

Zhao Chuanxin actually took out a deflated leather object, a fan made of a brushless motor and a battery to inflate the leather.

When it is fully inflated, the appearance of the kayak appears.

The crowd was in commotion.

A few men were dominated by the desire to survive and suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

Zhao Chuanxin stepped forward and punched, breaking one person's throat bone with one punch.

He turned around with his backhand and punched the other person in the temple.

The ears were hung to the elbows, and one person flew out upside down.

The remaining two were held down by several crew members and passengers.

"Let me go, let me go..."

"You son of a bitch, this is the only ship, let these kids go first."

At this time, even the bridge of the boat was almost submerged. Zhao Chuanxin asked the children to get on the kayak and slid into the sea water with a gentle push.

Each person was given an oar: "Come on, children, shout the chant and make consistent movements. You have to rely on yourself to survive."

These children were sitting on both sides of the kayak, with expressions of helplessness and attachment to their families. They were paddling hurriedly, crying while paddling.

Thomas Andrews smiled desperately and went to the first-class smoking room to smoke and wait for death.

Captain Edward Smith told the crew: "You are on your own now."

Zhao Chuanxin originally wanted to cut the hull, but the ship was still powered on. Some people were electrocuted on the spot, some were killed by the broken chimney, and some fell into the sea and fluttered...

Zhao Chuanxin thought about it and decided to give up even if it was a little dangerous for him.
