Tommy frowned, remembering the boss's instructions to keep his gun on him at all times, and to go to the boss in case of any accident.

"Leimai, Thain wake up!"

Lemai opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There must have been an accident. The boss said that if there is any movement, you have to go to him. Hurry up. No, I'll go and see what happened first. Get dressed immediately!"

"Okay! Thain, wake up!" Laimai responded.

Tommy grabbed his coat and walked outside, quickly ran up the stairs to the deck, looked back and saw that the iceberg was slowly moving back...

Immediately, Tommy's heart seemed to have fallen to the ground, and he was terrified. The pores of his body opened, and the cold wind poured into his body, shivering on the spot.

He immediately turned around and ran towards the first-class cabin, bumping into Lemai and Thain on the way.

"Look for the boss!!"

"what happened?"

"I hit the iceberg!"

"..."

Laimai and Thain looked at each other, and hurriedly followed Tommy's footsteps.

First class.

The impact caused the ship to shake slightly, and the muffled sound awakened several people.

Russell opened his eyes suddenly, and turned to look at Ruth who was sleeping soundly in his arms.

At this moment, nearly 2 minutes have passed since the collision.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Outside the door, Tommy's voice was a little impatient.

Russell got up and got dressed, went to the door and opened it.

"Boss, something went wrong. The ship hit an iceberg, the deck was covered with broken ice, and several passengers were injured. The iceberg is huge..."

Russell said calmly, "Don't worry, Tommy, calm down."

Tommy took a deep breath, gradually calming down his nervousness, fear and other emotions.

"Boss, what should we do?"

Russell asked: "First of all, go to the bottom warehouse to see if there is any leak. If there is no leak, you can go back to your room to sleep. If there is a leak, call all our people and prepare to escape."

"Boss, I... Is it possible for us to die?"

Russell shook his head and said: "I don't know, but there are many lessons learned from ships hitting icebergs, and they all died at the bottom of the sea. Although Mr. Andrews said that this ship will never sink, it is just a father's blessing to his children. We should not put our lives Leave it to God, but keep it in your hands!"

"Tommy, hold the guns in your hands. If the ship sinks, for example, there will be riots, and what we have to do is to rescue more people in the riots. Women and children first, understand?"

"Understood! I'll do it now."

Russell nodded: "Find me at the main staircase."

"Ok."

After Tommy left, Russell turned and went back into the room, shaking Ruth awake.

Asking her to get dressed right away, Ruth was a little confused, but she put on her clothes obediently.

"Mr. Walker, what's the matter?"

"The boat is sinking, I'm afraid."

"Shipwreck? No, it can't be...Didn't Mr. Andrews say..."

"Don't listen to nonsense, have you ever seen an unsinkable ship?"

"Okay, so what do we do?"

Russell put on his coat, "Of course it's escape, is there a second way?"

"Okay, okay..."

Ruth was a little nervous, but she had to accept the serial blows from reality.

After walking out of the first-class cabin, Russell walked to Mrs. Brown's door and knocked on the door.

Door open.

Mrs. Brown was wearing a fur coat, staring at Russell blankly.

But he didn't talk nonsense, directly told her that the ship might sink, and asked her to get dressed and go to the deck to wait.

Without giving her a chance to ask questions in astonishment, Russell hurried to the next cabin.

Wake up Astor, Guggenheim, Isidore and others in succession.

Then turned and took Ruth and went to the main stairs.

It is currently 11:55.

After the sea water poured into the hull, the water level had risen to 16 feet, and the first five airtight compartments in the bow were flooded with sea water.

Boiler Room 6 is covered by 8 feet of water!More than 4000 tons of seawater have poured in at the bow of the ship!

The situation seems to be under control thanks to the waterproof boards.

Captain Smith woke up, went out to ask the crew what happened, and immediately ordered all engines in the ship to stop working after learning of the incident, and called engineers to repair the damaged part of the hull.

Russell and Ruth came to the main staircase and saw Tommy waiting anxiously.

"Boss, there is water seepage... There is sea water coming up from the bottom of the boat. I asked Laimai and the others to wake up the passengers, including the second-class and first-class cabins..."

Ruth said next to her: "Mr. Walker, the Titanic only has [-] lifeboats, and it simply cannot accommodate all the passengers."

Russell thought deeply, "Tommy, gather all the carpenters in our construction company, use all the tools, and immediately use local materials to make a lifeboat... Make a simple raft to save time!"

Tommy was taken aback when he heard the words, and felt that the carpenter recruited by the construction company seemed to be preparing for this accident in advance.

But he didn't have any extra thoughts, and immediately responded: "Okay!"

Just as he was about to leave, the boss suddenly stopped him.

"Tommy!"

He turned his head and heard the boss say: "If someone doesn't obey the order, you have to protect your family with the thing in your hand, understand?"

"Understood!" Tommy nodded heavily.

When he was waiting for the boss to come to the main staircase, he was already mentally prepared.

Immediately, Russell and Ruth came to the main deck, looking at the crowd, Ruth was a little dazed.

"Mr. Walker, this ship is really going to sink..."

"It's a done deal."

Ahead, Captain Smith and the crew seemed to be having a meeting. Astor, Guggenheim, Isidor and others were also chatting together. It was not clear why Russell called them to the deck.

At this moment, the four chimneys suddenly let out a deafening roar and roar!

This is to release the high pressure steam generated by overheating in the safety valve of the boiler.

Russell took Ruth to Astor and the others, and said to Mrs. Brown, "Molly, Ruth will leave it to you."

"Ok."

Astor and the others were about to ask what was going on.

Russell then said: "Everyone, this ship seems to be sinking, because sea water has seeped up from the sealed cabin at the bottom."

"what?"

Everyone was a little shocked.

"No way, Andrews and Ismay didn't mean..."

"Never sink? Gentlemen, you are all smart people. It is a fatal mistake to trust others easily!"

Astor nodded slowly: "If it really sinks, what should we do? Do we want to compete with those women and children for escape?"

"Yes, I heard from Andrews that there are only 20 lifeboats on board, which can only accommodate half of the passengers. I can't do anything to compete with women." Guggenheim said with a straight face.

Russell looked at him and asked, "Would you like a glass of brandy then?"

Guggenheim paused and said with a smile: "If you have it, of course I would like to taste it."

"Ha ha…"

Everyone laughed.

Russell appropriately eased the tense atmosphere, and then said: "Everyone, you treat me as a friend, so I can't watch you die. Believe me, I can guarantee that more people will survive, but I cannot guarantee that everyone will die." can live."

Astor said: "Of course I want to believe you, you are the best security consultant, if we can survive this disaster, you will become famous!"

Isidor said: "We are also willing to be green leaves for you."

"..."

Russell nodded and smiled, "In that case, I'm relieved. Oh, help me keep an eye on Mr. Ismay, he still owes me money."

"He owes us money too!"

Russell smiled and patted Ruth on the back as a gesture of encouragement, then turned and walked towards Captain Smith.

At this moment, Captain Smith is communicating with Andrews.

"The crew told me that the water has flooded the six forward airtight compartments of the bow, as well as the three cargo stores and No. 6 boiler room. Mr. Andrews, please tell me, is there any possibility of repairing this ship?"

Andrews was silent for a moment, although he didn't want to say it, but he had to say it.

"No, the ship is hopeless, and it can only last for less than two hours."

Immediately, Captain Smith froze in place.

Just when he was in a daze, a gun was pressed to his temple.

"Mr. Walker, you..." Andrews opened his mouth.

Smith turned his head and asked, "Mr. Walker, what is this?"

Russell said: "I heard your conversation, this ship is going to sink, right?"

"Yes."

"I've made a conclusion a long time ago, so now that this ship has been hijacked by me, everyone must obey my arrangement! Captain Smith, you won't object, will you?"

"Walker, are you really going to hijack the ship?"

"The purpose of hijacking the ship is to allow more people to survive. I am a security consultant. You should trust my profession, Mr. Smith."

Captain Smith stared into his eyes, and then ordered to the crew waiting for an opportunity: "From now on, everyone must obey Mr. Walker's orders! He is a professional safety consultant and a survival expert."

"Mr Smith……"

"Okay, we will follow Mr. Walker's arrangement."

Russell nodded in satisfaction, and immediately ordered: "Wilde distributes all the pistols, and then a group of three will set up the lifeboats. It doesn't matter whether the passengers are first-class or third-class passengers. Women and children are given priority on the lifeboats! Make sure that there are two people in each lifeboat." The man who controls the ship, understand?"

"understand!"

Second Officer Laitler asked: "Mr. Walker, women and children are given priority on board, right?"

"That's right, if there is a man robbing the position, then use the guns in your hands to destroy him!"

"...Okay, okay."

"Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

The crew acted independently, and when Russell turned his head, he found that Captain Smith and Andrews had disappeared.

He knew that the two had gone there, but he was not going to persuade them to leave...

This is the maiden voyage of the Titanic. Since something happened, the captain and the designer have unshirkable responsibilities. They must stay on board, otherwise the world will call them cowards, and even if they survive, they will live in guilt.

At present, Philip, the telegraph operator in the communication room, is urgently sending a distress signal.

He is very grateful to the robbers that the nobles made up nonsense, because after he sent the telegram, many ships received the SOS distress signal, and only a very small number of ships received the CQDMGY distress signal.

The Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic, was [-] nautical miles away and couldn't catch up at all.
