I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

As the knocking sound stopped, Qin Zhong jumped off the food box and told Chi Xinru what he had just communicated with Robert.

After hearing this, Chi Xinru couldn't help but shudder and said in shock, "Was the noise just now caused by a boiler explosion? If that's the case, then no one on the cruise ship can escape!"

Qin Dian nodded and said nothing, but he was in a very heavy mood. However, there was no good solution at the moment, so he had to deal with it as it came!

It was unknown when the first mate Robert would arrive. Qin Zhong was busy all day and felt hungry, so he opened a food box and found bread, milk and canned luncheon meat.

Two people sat together, sharing delicious food. No matter what the future holds, even if they are going to die, they would rather die well-fed!

Chi Xinru glanced at Qin Zhong: "Is Morse code difficult to learn?"

Qin Zhong shook his head and said, "This method of communication has long been obsolete. It's not difficult to learn. It's nothing more than typing out the letters represented by the code and then connecting the letters into words. It's not too complicated!"

Chi Xinru smiled and said, "You speak foreign languages ​​well. You can even communicate with the first mate using Morse code."

Qin Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "I can still understand words made up of letters, but if I have to talk to foreigners face to face in a foreign language, my foreign language skills will not be enough."

Chi Xinru pursed her lips and smiled: "I understand, your foreign language level is just dumb." Then she asked: "Qin Zhong, what did you do before? Can you tell me about your life?"

Qin Zhong didn't hide anything, so he told Chi Xinru everything he could. When Chi Xinru heard about the thrilling experiences Qin Zhong had, she was so scared that she covered her chest with her hands, her face full of tension.

Looking at the towering breasts of the beautiful woman beside him, especially the whiteness that was inadvertently exposed, Qin Zhong couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Maybe the sound of Qin Zhong swallowing was a little loud, which made Chi Xinru's cheeks flushed.

Just when the ambiguous atmosphere between the two was becoming more and more intense, there was a noise coming from the ventilation duct. The first mate Robert should also be on this deck, otherwise he would not have arrived so quickly.

Hearing the noise, Qin Zhong cursed inwardly, "Why didn't you come earlier or later? Why did you come at this time? You ruined my good thing!"

But at this time, Qin Zhong also knew that escaping was the most important thing, so he could only suppress his somewhat fluctuating emotions, holding a pistol in his hand, and looking at the ventilation duct.

Although this Robert said that he was the first mate on the ship, who knows whether it is true or not? Even if it is true, it cannot be ruled out that he would become lustful if he saw Chi Xinru!

Glancing at Chi Xinru, especially seeing the blush on her cheeks that had not yet faded, Qin Zhong's heart rippled slightly again, and he couldn't help but wonder, is it because he hasn't touched a woman for a long time, why can't he resist the temptation?

After a while, a flashlight flickered from the vent, and a large Western man crawled out and jumped down to the ground stepping on a food box.

Robert was about forty years old, with a beard on his chin and an anxious expression. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he started mumbling a lot. Qin Zhong was confused and didn't understand what he meant.

……

"Robert is saying..."

To Qin Zhong's surprise, Chi Xinru spoke good foreign languages. After listening to what Robert said, she immediately translated the whole thing for Qin Zhong.

It turns out that the power used by the Haitian Cruise is a "diesel-fired" hybrid power system. The previous fire not only burned the cockpit into a shell, but also burned the adjacent gas-electric control room to a mess.

You know, the gas-electric control room controls the gas turbine. If it loses control, the temperature of the boiler will become higher and higher over time. Once the temperature reaches a certain level, it may explode at any time.

According to Robert, the previous vibration might have been a minor explosion in the boiler. If the temperature continued to rise, it would probably not be long before the boiler completely exploded.

By then, the entire ship will inevitably be sunk, and the survivors who are still alive will probably sink to the bottom of the sea and feed the fish and shrimps.

Qin Zhong became more and more frightened as he listened. He saw Robert take out a drawing and spread it flat on the food box. He leaned forward to take a look and found that it was a longitudinal cross-section of the cruise ship.

Qin Zhong and Chi Xinru looked at the drawings, and with some explanations from Robert, they had a more comprehensive understanding of the cruise ship.

This giant on the sea has a draft of 12 meters, a length of 380 meters, a waterline width of 57 meters, a hull width of 180 meters at its widest point, a height of 82 meters, and a speed of 248 knots.

Robert pointed at the blueprints and explained in a foreign language, "Look, the engine room is on the bottom deck of the cruise ship. The gas turbine is here, and the boiler connected to it is also here. I need to go down to the bottom deck and close the main valve directly."

Qin Zhong listened to Chi Xinru's translation and asked in surprise, "Hey, weren't you and Sun Jiayi also in the lower cabin before? Why didn't you see the engine room he mentioned when you came up?"

Chi Xinru hesitated and said, "The ship is too big. We are at the bow, so the engine room should be in the middle or at the back!"

Qin nodded and continued, "Ask Robert how many employees are there in that cabin?"

Chi Xinru relayed Qin Zhong's question. Robert shrugged and said helplessly, "Those monsters, you still call them people? No, they are no longer people, they should be called zombies."

Chi Xinru explained, "Zombie is the foreign word for zombie. It seems Robert shares the same view as us, thinking those people have turned into zombies."

Robert continued, "There are hundreds of zombies on the ground floor. If I go alone, I can't handle it at all, so I need help."

Qin Zhong was secretly shocked as he listened to Chi Xinru's translation. He frowned slightly and said, "There are so many zombies. Even if I join in, the two of us can't handle hundreds of zombies, right? Besides, there might even be mutated zombies among them."

Robert asked curiously, "What are mutant zombies?"

Qin Zhong asked Chi Xinru to translate what he said and gave a brief introduction to the classification of zombies. After listening to it, Robert was silent for a long time and seemed a little depressed.

Yes, when Qin Zhong heard this for the first time, he almost lost hope for the future of mankind!

After all, humans are too vulnerable in front of zombies. Often, three humans fight against one zombie. If they have not received special training, the final result will most likely be killing one zombie and adding three more zombies.

For a moment, the three of them fell silent, all thinking about their own things. After a while, Robert seemed to have figured something out, and his spirits lifted. He shouted loudly: "I am the master of my destiny."

Qin Zhong was completely confused. He didn't know what Robert was shouting so loudly. He looked at Chi Xinru. Chi Xinru hesitated and said, "It probably means that my destiny is in my own hands!"

After hearing Chi Xinru's explanation, Qin Zhong couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this exactly the saying, "My destiny is in my own hands!"

I didn't realize that this foreigner was so arrogant!

However, he is right! My fate is in my own hands. As long as I dare to do it, even God will dare to poke a big hole in it!
