110: The appearance of all living things! The captain blocked it!

"What's wrong?"

The captain was startled, then quickly hid the surprise on his face, frowning as he asked the first mate, who was operating the instruments.

"What hit us?"

"A..."

"A coconut tree trunk!"

"Phew..."

The captain visibly exhaled in relief.

He then glanced at Wu Tian and the two others, deliberately scolding the first mate loudly.

"Heh heh..."

"Why are you panicking over a coconut tree?"

"The Mary's bow has a seven-centimeter-thick double steel plate, the highest standard in the world. Don't panic, speak clearly!"

"But..."

The first mate nodded.

Then he swallowed, his expression still solemn as he looked at the captain.

"Is there anything else?"

The captain rolled his eyes.

"But, besides this coconut tree trunk..."

"A whirlpool has appeared in front of our ship!"

"A whirlpool?"

The captain froze.

Then he smiled calmly.

"Heh heh, it's just a whirlpool. Our Mary is 361 meters long, 66 meters wide, 72 meters high above the water, and has a displacement of 225,000 tons!"

"Are we really afraid of such a whirlpool?"

The captain looked arrogant.

"You're not professional enough, kid?"

"Just charge right through it!"

"It's just a small whirlpool, it can't stop us!"

"..."

With that, the captain, with a calm expression, glanced at Wu Tian and the two others again, saying smugly.

"See?"

"Do you know what it takes to quickly handle emergencies based on different situations?"

"Heh heh!"

The captain smiled self-importantly.

"It's my long experience sailing in this sea area, and my professional expertise as a captain!"

"Do you..."

The captain blinked.

He looked disdainful.

"Understand?"

"..."

However... before the captain's proud and arrogant expression could be displayed in front of Wu Tian and the two others for long, the first mate, operating the instruments, turned pale, and tremblingly looked at the captain, directly calling out his name.

"Captain Captain Ole, please come and see for yourself!"

"What small whirlpool?"

"This whirlpool is thousands of meters in diameter, and we... we've already been sucked in!"

"..."

"What?!"

The arrogant expression on the captain's face hadn't even had time to disappear.

Hearing the first mate's words, he immediately tumbled off his seat!

"A whirlpool thousands of meters in diameter?!"

"Quick!"

"Let me see!"

His eyes wide.

Captain Captain Ole quickly scrambled towards the first mate.

When he stood beside the first mate and looked forward!

The scene before him... left him completely dumbfounded!

Through the huge glass of the control room, one could see in the thick fog that could not be dispersed in the sea ahead... a rapidly spinning, constantly expanding whirlpool, churning with monstrous turbid waves, relentlessly advancing towards everyone!

And as this whirlpool continuously approached... the ship's hull, imperceptibly, began to slowly tilt!

"Quick!"

After a few seconds ofstunned, Captain Ole quickly regained his senses.

"Hurry up, pull the joystick, turn the power system to maximum, increase the displacement to fifty percent, turn the rudder to the left, and while we're still on the edge of the whirlpool, let's rush out!"

"..."

Captain Ole's roaring command fell.

But... the control room, which should have been operating in an orderly manner, fell into a silence!

"..."

"What's wrong?!"

Captain Ole slapped the first mate's head in a frantic hurry.

"Didn't you hear my order?"

"Quickly turn the rudder for me!"

"Now!"

"Immediately, right away!"

"..."

"Captain Captain Ole..."

After a long while, the two first mates exchanged glances.

Looking at Captain Ole, they said in a desperate whisper.

"Actually, when we first detected this whirlpool, we already intended to turn the rudder, but..."

The first mate reached out and pointed at the completely darkened instrument panel in the operating room, speaking to the captain.

"I don't know why..."

"All our precision instruments have failed!"

"Even the instrument panel, which has strong electromagnetic interference resistance, has completely lost its function. Now..."

"We cannot make any evasive maneuvers!"

"..."

The first mate's voice fell.

The entire bridge fell completely silent, and Captain Captain Ole's eyes instantly became dull. He stiffly twisted his neck, slowly scanning all the electronic instruments in the bridge, and his mouth slowly opened.

"I..."

"This..."

"The ship... the Mary..."

"..."

After talking for a long time, the captain couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

The entire Mary!

At this moment... even the cockpit was filled with panic!

... "What should we do?"

Although Zhang Meng wasn't as flustered as the captain, her expression was clearly not good. She leaned close to Wu Tian and asked in a low voice.

"..."

Wu Tian blinked, not speaking.

Now, the Mary was at the confrontation point of two super magnetic fields, already hanging by a thread!

But when it rains, it pours.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a huge underwater whirlpool just as all control systems failed!

For a moment... Wu Tian also felt it was incredibly tricky!

"Lifeboat!"

Suddenly!

TheFat Man whispered beside Wu Tian.

"Boss!"

"This is a world-class large cruise ship, it must have plenty of lifeboats. Since the big ship can't move, can't we just use the lifeboats?"

"..."

"No..."

Wu Tian's eyes lit up at first, then he gently shook his head.

"If there were no fog on the sea and no large whirlpool in front of the ship, lifeboats would be a sufficient option!"

"But now..."

Wu Tian's eyes flickered.

"Even in a lifeboat, encountering such a situation is a death sentence!"

"It's just..."

"A different way to die!"

"Then..."

"Then what should we do?"

Zhang Meng's eyes widened. Upon hearing that even the last lifeboats couldn't be used, a huge sense of panic immediately arose in her heart!

"..."

"It's over!"

A helmsman slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair!

The voices of Wu Tian and the two others were clearly audible in the silent bridge.

Everyone heard their discussion.

At this moment, everyone also understood!

The fallback plan of lifeboats... was also unworkable!

"Wuwuwu..."

"I don't want to die yet, I don't even have a girlfriend this year, my life has just begun..."

"I don't want to die!"

"Me too..."

"I just got a girlfriend, and we agreed to go to the movies a month after I returned..."

"Now it seems, there might not be a chance!"

"..."

A crew member pulled out his girlfriend's photo from his pocket.

Looking at the sweet girl in the photo, his face was full of reluctance!

... And the state of all the tourists in the cabin was similar to that of the crew!

They also discovered the huge whirlpool slowly approaching the bow of the ship!

This predictable, unavoidable fear was like the Grim Reaper's scythe raised high... counting down, about to strike down upon their heads!

Immediately, there was a chorus of weeping and wailing everywhere!

"..."

"Wuwu, I shouldn't have been so willful, shouldn't have forced you to take me on this trip. If I hadn't forced you, you wouldn't have gotten on this ship with me..."

An Asian girl cried uncontrollably in her boyfriend's arms!

"What are you saying?"

The man's eyes also welled up with tears.

But his grip on the girl's hand was firm.

"For so many years, whether good or bad, you've been by my side. Now, even in death, we will face it together!"

"Be good!"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Even if we fall into the sea, I will drag you with me!"

"..."

An American took out paper and pen from his body, forcing down his trembling hand, and meticulously wrote his last message on a blank sheet of paper with a fountain pen.

Although the contents of this paper... his family might not even see it.

But, he still wrote down his thoughts stroke by stroke!

However... tears kept dripping onto the white paper held down by one hand.

"..."

And just as everyone was crying... a small group of students from Ulan Country, led by their teacher, sang a folk song from their hometown with tears in their eyes.

The melodious singing, initially accompanied by low sobs, was barely audible in the crowd!

But slowly... this optimistic singing gradually infected the people nearby.

As the singing grew louder.

Anyone from Ulan Country who had heard this song also hummed along with these teachers and classmates.

Even if they had to face death!

Even if their eyes were still full of tears at this moment!

The singing... remained pure and melodious!

... "Can the ship be switched to manual mode?"

"Can the rudder be used?"

Suddenly!

Just as the bridge was plunged into despair, with low, suppressed sobs constantly echoing.

Wu Tian frowned.

He asked the stunned captain and first mate.

"Wh-what?"

The first mate froze.

He looked at Wu Tian in confusion, not reacting for a long time.

"Is there a manually operated rudder?!"

Wu Tian gritted his teeth and asked again loudly!

"Yes!"

"Yes, yes!"

"But..."

The desperate look on the first mate's face still hadn't disappeared.

"The manual rudder was added as a backup; we never considered using it, so..."

The first mate sighed.

"The rudder's lever is very heavy, and..."

"It's very difficult to operate!"

"Even a hundred people might not be able to stably use the rudder to turn this huge Mary!"

"It's useless..."

"It's useful!"

Upon hearing that the Mary actually had a backup manual rudder, Wu Tian's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly strode towards the first mate.

As he walked, he ordered loudly!

"Quick!"

"Take me to the rudder, I have a way!"

"I can turn the rudder!"

"..."

"No!"

Suddenly!

Captain Captain Ole stood up from the ground, firmly blocking Wu Tian and the first mate.

His eyes were bloodshot!

"You can't do that!"

"Once the backup rudder is used, the ship's autopilot system will completely fail, and we will only be sucked into the underwater whirlpool faster!"

"I don't agree!"
