Chapter 606
Most of the people on the cruise ship gathered in themand center.
There were many control panels, monitors, radars, and data analysis devices. Everyone was very
nervous. The whole ship was shaking violently, and it was helpless against the power of the storm.
The clock showed that it was 1:03 pm at noon, but the weather changed suddenly and it was gloomy
on the sea. The clouds had spread and covered the entire sky. It looked as if the world wasing to
an end.
Lightning shed and thunder rumbled, and the deep dark sea roared like a giant beast. Even a cruise
was huge, it seemed to be trivial on such a tough sea as well.
“Will the signal and power system be affected if the cruise ship was struck by lightning?”
Charles was all wet and disheveled, and they were not in the mood to change their clothes at that
moment. Suddenly a bolt of lightning crackled through the sky. Looking at the lightning outside the
window, they were trembling in fear.
“Don’t worry. There’s a lightning arrester.” Gary said. However, his face looked sullen when he looked
out of the window. The weather was extremely terrible and changeable.
“Mr. Hopkins.”
n hesitated. He suppressed the feeling of uneasiness and said.
“Our ship can dive one kilometer deeper. Shall we…” n wanted to make a suggestion.
An urgent voice suddenly sounded from the other end, “Whirlpool, it’s whirlpool!”
When everyone heard someone giving a warning of the Whirlpool, the ship seemed to be caught by a
strong force and it suddenly turned left.
The waves rolled and foamed in the dark ocean. The wave height was approximately 3 meters, 5
meters, or even 10 meters. The raging storm continued to wash the ss and the shell. They could
only try to figure out what happened on the surrounding waters through radar and the calctions of
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
data since they could barely see the situation outside the ship.
The cruise ship was out of control and rushed in one direction. Gary tried his best to stop it, but it didn’t
work.
A huge whirlpool appeared on the sea ording to the radar, and the whirlpool was expanding. Their
ship was at the edge of the whirlpool, and it was attracted by the strong force of the whirlpool.
Although they had abundant experience, they all screamed out in terror and panic.
“Fix your body on the ship!” Patrick shouted.
They were unable to stand still due to the violent shaking. Gary and the others entangled themselves
with the chairs tightly using the belts. The others were sitting on the board or trying to stabilize their
bodies to reduce harm by all means.
“Mr. Hopkins, what should we do now?” Gary was trembling while he was speaking.
The steering wheel of the cruise ship waspletely out of control and it rotated in one direction
abruptly. The power of their cruise ship was notparable to the attractive force of the whirlpool at all.
Patrick’s face took on a ghastly expression. He subconsciously looked at Raphael.
Raphael found a ce and tied himself up with several ropes. He moved slowly as if he was
“Mr. Hopkins, there are many reefs of different sizes beneath the ocean. The energy tank 2 at the
bottom of the ship is leaking!”
A man rushed in hurriedly and he was panting for breath. He was drenched and his face was as white
as a sheet.
His words made the people present even more anxious. “What should we do now?”
“Energy room 2 is ourrgest generator room. If we don’t repair it in time…”
“The water is leaking so fast now, and the ship is shaking constantly. We are unable to do rush repairs.”
Every single word would send them into the depths of despair.
Crystal curled up and trembled instinctively. Chandler hugged her tightly and they remained silent. At
that moment, all the people were in a state of panic as if they were falling into a terrible nightmare
together.
“Mr. Hopkins, what are we going to do now?” Everyone was waiting for hismands.
They are faced with two choices now.
The first choice was to enter the small escape capsules separately. The escape capsule was oval-
shaped, waterproof and bulletproof. The impact of crashed could be minimized because of their small
size. They could try to contact the outside world and ask for help after surviving the storm.
However, there was a fatal w in the n. The emergency supplies of food and energy in the escape
capsule could only support them for a week. If themunication system of the escape capsule was
damaged, or the ship drifted to a special sea area that could not contact the outside world the through
the satellite signal, they could only wait for death in the vast sea.
The second choice was that everyone continued to stay in this huge cruise ship and fight with this
stormy sea.
They might win a narrow victory against the storm. If they lost the battle, they would all die.
However, Rafael looked like a bystander at this particr moment, watching all people struggling and
suffering in the face of a disaster and being destroyed like bugs.
Because he upled Derek’s body, and his soul could be separated from his body at any time.
Therefore, he watched this disaster as if it was a game.
When Patrick saw the malicious pleasure on Rafael’s face, he red at Rafael and walked to the
center of themand room seriously. Gary immediately gave the captain’s seat to him.
Everyone held their breath at that moment.
Patrick turned on the loudspeaker with his long fingers. He said word by word in a deep voice,
“Everyone,e to themand center at the fastest speed within 10 minutes.”
“Everyone must be fixed to the cabin using the ropes and belts.”
Patrick’s deep and dignified voice was echoing through the whole ship when the broadcast was on.
Everyone took action immediately without any hesitation or objection when they heard his order.
The crew kept running around.
Then, Patrick continued, “Give up energy tank 2.”
“Turn off all power except the power of themand center!”
“Stop all operations in themand center. No retrogradation. Don’t be afraid!”
“The cruise ship was sailing following the attractive force of the whirlpool. When it reached the critical
point, we must turn on all our power to get out of the whirlpool. This cruise ship can defeat this big
storm. You must focus on the critical point of the data. Get everyone in position!”
Patrick said there was no need to panic.
He also said that the ship could survive the big storm.
Patrick’s orders were all their hopes for survival. They were extremely determined and they would try
their best to make it.
The crew members perked up and they were so concentrated that they nearly forgot the fear. Everyone
stared at the screen nervously with their hands trembling,
They believed that they would not die here if they slogged their guts and stuck to the faith in their
hearts.
Gary and the others gritted their teeth and the rims of their eyes were red. They even punched their
thighs hard
with their fists to make themselves more focused.
The huge whirlpool on the sea engulfed the cruise ship like a ck hole in an instant, then a huge
water column was formed like a tornado, lifting the ship up to the sky.
Everything was spinning around.
Themand center was filled with instinctive screams of horror, and the equipment fell and crashed.
The room was in a frightful mess at that moment.
“Hold on!”
Patrick held the steering wheel of the cruise ship. His lipspressed into a thin line and his heart
seemed to stop beating at that moment. Suddenly, he shouted, “Do it now!”
Gary and the others immediately operated the control panel with their trembling hands. All the power
on the cruise ship was instantly turned on, and Patrick turned the steering wheel swiftly.
G
The dark ship was thrown out from the deep sea with the power that the cruise ship’s engine provided
and the huge centrifugal force on the edge of the tornado.
The body of the ship shook violently as if it was going to explode. Everyone was dizzy at that moment.
Half an hourter, the people in the ship gradually recovered consciousness.
Their ship hadpletely left that terrifying sea area. The sea in front of them now was quite calm, and
the thick clouds gradually dispersed.
A green and magnificent ind appeared in front of them.
