Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 12 shocked the world

This time, finally, no one dared to disobey Bruce's orders anymore.

Several men with the paddle on the lifeboat had to quickly paddle the pulp blades and slowly move the lifeboat closer to Bruce.

Then, with the help of several young and strong men, Bruce in the sea was pulled into a lifeboat.

Thankfully, they didn't have any other diver who floated on the surface like Bruce and was so calm.

Otherwise, if you see someone here who dares to stop the boat to save people, it is estimated that they will swim over to this side.

Therefore, in fact, the cold-blooded bearded rich man actually has a certain reason.

It's just a pity that the person he met was Bruce, a modern mercenary who was accustomed to seeing life and death and killing people like a luxury dog.

After getting into the lifeboat, Bruce felt that his clothes wet with sea water were blown by the sea breeze, and his body temperature could not resist it at all.

No matter how strong his body was, he couldn't help but tremble.

Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time.

On his back was a tight wrap wrapped in waterproof oiled paper.

Once on board, Bruce took the package off and began to change his clothes, despite the fact that most of the people on the boat were women and children.

Take off your soaked shirt and pants and wear only a pair of shorts.

He was still a little ashamed, and he didn't take off his shorts again.

Looking at Bruce's strong physique and the perfect muscles in his abdomen, there were several women on the lifeboat who whispered in protest at first.

Later, these protests became inaudible swallows.

Bruce didn't feel anything, quickly changed into a dry suit, and instantly felt better.

He took out another bottle of liquor that had been prepared a long time ago, opened the lid and took a big sip to dispel the cold in his body.

After doing all this, Bruce didn't care about the reactions of the other people on the lifeboat, and glanced back at the Titanic behind him.

At this time, the Titanic had changed dramatically.

The stern of the ship was raised high and would sink in a short time.

There were also many passengers on the ship who had not had time to escape, struggling to hold on to anything on board that could be grasped, hoping to live a little longer.

Of course, more often than not, people who have exhausted their strength fall from the boat into the sea like dumplings.

Bruce sighed softly.

He turned back to the people on the lifeboat and said, "Hurry up, when the boat sinks completely, a huge vortex will form on the sea, if you don't want us to be affected, hurry up and row." "

The people on the lifeboat were actually eager to get out of this desperate place as soon as possible.

It's just that because of Bruce's ferocity, he didn't speak, and everyone didn't dare to move casually.

Now that Bruce is in the boat, a few lucky men on the boat, where dare to slack off, keep rowing the boat.

As the lifeboat got farther and farther away, the tragic scene on the Titanic gradually disappeared, and only the faint sound of explosions was still coming.

Finally, at about 3:30 a.m., the first cruise ship to receive the Titanic's distress signal, the Capacia cruise ship, finally appeared at the scene of the accident after a four-hour journey and began to put down the lifeboat on board for rescue work.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that the Californian, which was closest to the Titanic, turned off the telegraph because the telegraph operator was lazy and did not receive the Titanic's distress signal in time, perhaps there would not have been such a tragic ending in history.

Or, if the Titanic sent a telegram for help as soon as possible, it could have avoided a tragedy.

Because when the Titanic used the rocket on the ship for help for the first time, there was a Californian merchant ship only ten nautical miles away from them.

More than one Californian's ship later claimed to have seen a white distress rocket fired from the Titanic.

However, the careless captain of the USS Californian mistakenly dismissed the distress rockets simply as fireworks.

This may be the fate of the Titanic.

Perhaps if the Titanic was not a luxury cruise ship carrying a large number of upper-class elites and tycoons, but an ordinary cruise ship, the captain of the Californian would not have been so careless.

Perhaps in the mind of the captain of the Californian, it is not unreasonable for so many rich people who have nowhere to spend their money on the most luxurious giant ship in the world, and it is not unreasonable to set off some fireworks at night to have fun.

In short, when the Carpathia, which was far less tall and beautiful than the Titanic, appeared in the field of vision of the survivors.

These Titanic passengers who escaped by chance couldn't help but burst into tears and praised God loudly.

Only a few lifeboats with a hint of kindness left the lifeboat at the scene of the sinking, turned the bow again, and once again returned to the scene of the accident that people could not bear to look at.

That includes the lifeboat that Bruce was.

Although many on the boat objected to Bruce's unreasonable demand, they reluctantly turned the bow of the boat under Bruce's fierce gaze.

By the time Bruce and the others returned to the scene of the incident, it had been more than an hour later.

On the surface of the sea under the dark night, there are still dots of light floating on the sea.

Other than that, there was a dead silence.

The icy waters are littered with debris and ...... or people who drowned or froze to death.

Looking at this terrible scene, the people who had just whispered about Bruce's savage request finally quieted down, and looked at the messy sea with unbearable reluctance.

"Is anyone still alive?" Bruce suddenly stood up and shouted.

However, in the dead sea, apart from the sound of Bruce, there was only the sound of lifeboats paddling the sea.

There was no response, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Bruce paddled forward, watching the sea and shouting in anticipation of the presence of survivors.

After a while, they unexpectedly encountered two other lifeboats that had returned to save people.

On one of the lifeboats stood a plump middle-aged woman.

"Bruce, is that you?" the middle-aged woman spotted Bruce as well.

"Mrs. Brown?" Bruce heard Mrs. Brown's voice.

"Oh, thank God, you're alive. Mrs. Brown was thrilled when she met her old friend again.

"Me too, Mrs. Brown, thank God you escaped too. Bruce was delighted.

He suddenly remembered Miss Leslie, who had been hanging on his mind, and couldn't help asking, "Mrs. Brown, aren't you with Miss Leslie?"

Mrs. Brown shook her head and said in a dejected mood, "Bruce, I haven't seen Leslie. I'm sorry, but I'm sorry that God will promise the kind Miss Leslie. "

"I hope so. Bruce's heart grew heavy.

He regretted it a little.

He should have thrown that stupid woman from Leslie in the lifeboat before stealing the Heart of the Ocean.

Let's hope she'll be okay.

Bruce could only pray in his heart for Leslie.

"How's Bruce, how are you doing, have you found a survivor?" said Mrs. Brown with a heavy heart.

Bruce shook his head and said, "No, Mrs. Brown, what about you?"

Mrs. Brown replied the same.

"Let's look forward, and hopefully we can find someone alive. Bruce took a deep breath and suggested.

He understands that even if everyone else dies, at least with Jack's help, Rose should still have a chance to survive.

Mrs. Brown agreed with Bruce's proposal and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I believe." Let's split up. "

So the two sides parted left and right, and rowed in their respective directions.

In history, after the sinking of the Titanic, among the lifeboats that went away, it seemed that only two went and returned, which saved Rose, who was about to freeze to death.

If these people could turn back earlier and have a little more kindness of human nature, maybe they could save more people who fell into the water in the sea.

But it's a pity.

Human nature is so ugly.

Even if they are safe, not many people are willing to reach out to help more of their companions.

This time, there was more Bruce and his party, and they came out a little earlier than in history.

Bruce doesn't know if he can save Jack and Rose this time.

After a while, just as Bruce was about to give up, he finally heard a faint whistle in the distant darkness.

Bruce was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted loudly as the paddle hand on the boat rowed in the direction of the whistle.

A few minutes later, a larger plank appeared in Bruce's sight, and on the plank lay a woman in a white dress.

When the ship approached, Bruce was sure it was Rose.

At this time, Rose has long lost the elegance and beauty of the past.

His long hair was stained with hoarfrost, and his pretty face was pale from the cold.

"Quick, help!" Bruce commanded.

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to save Rose, who was about to lose consciousness.

When someone rescued him, Bruce hurriedly went over and hugged Rose into his arms, wanting to use his body temperature to warm Rose.

Then Rose finally regained a little bit of energy.

Her eyes were blank, and she looked at Bruce with tears streaming down her eyes and said, "Bruce, Jack...... Jack didn't hold on, woo ......

".

As she spoke, Rose hugged Bruce tightly and cried loudly.

Hearing this, Bruce had to sigh helplessly.

He was still a step too late after all.

In the end, this infatuated man and woman still failed to escape the cycle of fate.

Obviously, he rescued the two of them much earlier than in history, why didn't the two survive to the end?

At this point, Bruce could only try to comfort the grieving Rose.

Next, the lifeboat searched the sea for another half hour.

Very lucky to be rescued by a couple and a little girl in the sea.

In the end, there were no more surviving overboarders.

Bruce had no choice but to let the group row the lifeboat away.

As the day dawned, Bruce and the others finally encountered the merchant ship Carpathia, which had come to the rescue.

......

The rescue work of the merchant ship Carpathia continued until 8 o'clock in the morning, when it gave up the final search and rescue work, and set sail for New York City in the United States with more than 700 surviving people on the Titanic.

Historically, of the Titanic's more than 2,000 passengers and crew, only 705 survived in the end, not even half of them.

In this life, thanks to the appearance of Bruce, the number of survivors increased from the original 705 to 708.

Although there are only three more survivors than in history, this also adds a touch of comfort to Bruce's cold heart.

He is not God, much less superhuman.

He's just a mercenary who has been battered by war and blood.

I hope those who died can understand his helplessness and indifference.

It's sad and ridiculous.

Survivors who escaped, even if they were saved, were treated differently.

Those who had just escaped from the Titanic were quickly placed in the cabin of the Carpathia, and could enjoy steaming food and coffee.

And those ordinary Titanic passengers can only be on the unobstructed deck, allowing the cold sea breeze to soothe the wounds and fears in their hearts.

After Rose took a blanket, she wrapped herself up completely, and found a no-man's corner to curl up.

Rose, who has lost her lover, is like a withering rose, and the whole person looks spiritless and lifeless.

Bruce finds her, but doesn't know how to arrange this beautiful woman.

"Rose, people can't be resurrected from death, you have to cheer up. Jack sacrificed himself, not wanting to see you in your grief. Bruce comforted Rose softly.

Rose's eyes moved slightly, but in the end she didn't speak.

Bruce also knows that Rose, who has just lost her lover, will not be able to get out of her grief in a short period of time.

He could only stand up helplessly and try to let Luo calm down alone.

There's another person tugging at Bruce's heart.

It was Miss Leslie, and with no certainty of her safety, Bruce couldn't put himself at ease for a moment.

Just as he was about to leave, a weak voice came from behind Bruce: "Uncle Li, will Dad and Mom come back?"

Bruce's heart was lightly touched.

He turned to look at the master who was speaking.

It was the little girl he had rescued.

At this moment, the little girl was draped in a green blanket and looked at Bruce in confusion.

The

thin body, perhaps from the cold, shivered slightly.

Bruce crouched down, took the little girl into his arms, and whispered, "Didn't you find your mom and dad?"

The little girl shook her head in a frustrated mood and said, "Mom and Dad beat away a lot of bad guys in order to prevent the bad guys from robbing me of the driftwood, and I was too sleepy to fall asleep." When I woke up, my mom and dad were gone. "

Bruce's eyes darkened, and he knew how things were going to turn out.

Where is the little girl sleepy?

Probably fainted due to shock caused by hypothermia.

In this case, then her parents should have been sleeping forever on the cold seabed because of the cold, or because of exhaustion.

What a poor child.

Bruce silently tightened his arms tightly.

At this time, Rose may have been stung by the little girl's words, and her heart was soft.

She took the little girl out of Bruce's arms and pulled her tightly into her arms.

At the same time, tears can't stop falling!

The Carpathia then held a solemn mourning ceremony in the main dining room before turning around and sailing back to New York Harbor.

A few days later, it finally returned to its starting point, New York Harbor.

In the past few days, the news of the sinking of the world's first luxury cruise ship has shocked the entire Western world.

When the Carpathia passed by the Statue of Liberty, tens of thousands of people from all over the country spontaneously rushed to the Batary Coast on Manhattan Island to watch and greet the survivors of the Titanic who survived the disaster.

By the time we arrived at Pier 54, up to 30,000 people across New York were standing in the rain, silently fighting for the survivors.

This unprecedented shipwreck shocked the Western world today, no less than the Twin Towers incident decades later.

Many countries on both sides of the Atlantic lowered their flags at half-mast to express their condolences.

Even the invincible King George V of England and President Taft of the United States exchanged messages of condolence, and the current ambitious Emperor Wilhelm II of Hans also sent a message of condolence.

This shows how great the impact of this shipwreck has on all of you in the West.
