The water level has soaked at the nameplate "TITABISMY" on both sides of the bow of the Titanes Mai. At this time, the bow that sinks below the horizontal plane and tilts is even more serious. At this time, the passenger capacity of the lifeboat was finally fully utilized, and the starboard Nine ship was released to carry 56 passengers.

The water flowed backward from the working corridor on the E deck and poured into the No. 4 boiler cabin. The front restaurant on the D floor has almost become a diving training ground, and the center of gravity of the hull has slowly moved forward. The originally calm top deck is in chaos, and passengers finally find the seriousness of the situation and squeeze into the lifeboat. The riots are constantly escalating, and the crew fires guns to suppress the passengers, and the evacuation work begins to lose control.

At this time, the people on the boat began to stir up. When the lifeboat No. 14 on the side of the cabin was carrying 60 people to be released, the crowd attempted to jump into the boat and was scared by Raul, a fifth-class crew member in the boat, who was shot at the sky. The people who stayed in the Titanes were in despair.

The sea water continued to soak in the boiler room behind. Second-class and third-class women and children escaped in batches. No. 16 on the cabin side carries more than 50 people, and No. 13 on the starboard side carries 64 people. After 30 seconds, 70 people were released on the starboard 15 on the starboard side were hurriedly released.

Most of the lifeboats had left the Titans to prevent the vortex from the wreck from storming the lifeboat underwater. The last lifeboat on the starboard side was dropped off the sea and the bow continued to sink. The band on board was led by the band conductor Wallace Hartley to continue playing music for the passengers to calm the people who were destined to die in dozens of minutes, and they played until the last moment.

Faced with the life-and-death choice, some people chose to die like gentlemen. The rich man Guggenheim wore a night dress and "even if he died, he would die like a gentleman." Mrs. Evans gave the lifeboat seat to the mother of a child, while the chairman of the shipping company Isme left his passengers, his crew, his boat, while the crew who commanded the release of the lifeboat did not pay attention, jumped into the foldable lifeboat at the last moment. The good and evil of human nature are revealed here.

As the sea water poured into the bow part became more and more, the stern gradually left the water and raised high, exposing the three huge propellers at the bottom of the stern of the Titanes Mai.

Water began to flow into the huge bow deck at a very fast speed. More than 1,500 people were still on the sinking ship, and the crew tried their best to maintain order so that women, children and children could enter the lifeboat. When 44 people boarded the foldable lifeboat D, there were only two lifeboats left on the ship, and it was too late to send them to the water surface according to the normal process.

The bow deck and front side of the Titanes Mai have been completely submerged in the water, and water has begun to enter the first class cabin area. As some superstructures have been flooded, the area where the water intake in the bow has reached hundreds of square meters. The hatch cover of the No. 4 boiler cabin has been closed for more than an hour, and the sea water still cannot completely fill the place. The workers inside are still working hard to try to remove the accumulated water. They don’t know: they are more than 10 meters below sea level, and all exits have been blocked by sea water. They are already working in a "submarine".

The powerful water pressure exploded the waterproof plate between the boiler cabins of No. 4 and No. 5, and many workers died on the spot. The hull sinking speed significantly accelerated. The last moment of the Titanes Mai was here. The bridge part of the upper part of the bow and the seaman's cab were about to be submerged. The captain signaled the telegraphers Bitt and Philippe to leave their posts, and Philip continued to release radio messages.

The captain said to the crew, "Now you have to rely on yourself." Then he walked towards the bridge, locked himself in the captain's room, and was judged by the god of death. Someone saw chief designer Thomas Andrew step into the first-class smoking room in despair waiting for death to come. Many crew members still stick to their jobs. A large number of passengers ran to the stern in panic, and many people were trampled to death.

Phillips, who had been staying at his post, sent out the last telegram full of despair: "Please come and rescue quickly, the boiler cabin is submerged and the sea water has covered the turbine." The band on the boat stopped playing, and many passengers and crew jumped into the water at this moment. One of the last two lifeboats foldable lifeboats dropped about 24 people into the cold sea water due to overturning. Raul, a fifth-class crew member of the No. 14 lifeboat on the other side of the cabin, rescued nearly half of them. The others were buried in the ocean.

The hull's center of gravity completely lost balance and continued to move forward, while the stern continued to rise, and soon, along with the propeller at the bottom, completely lifted out of the water. The outdoor foyer of the entire bridge part after the bow was immersed in the water, and was then blown up by the washed-up water pressure. The glass dome was blown up by the water pressure, which also caused the chimney steel cable tied to the dome to be broken.

The tension of the No. 1 chimney was unbalanced, and the chimney broke and collapsed, killing many passengers who fell into the water and struggling. The bridge part and the seaman's cab were also completely immersed in the water. The 29 large boilers inside the cabin left the base one after another, colliding with each other and smashing through water-tight walls, further impacting the underlying structure.

The entire ship had 7 and a half-waterproof cabins inlets, and the center of gravity was obviously moved forward. The rear half was still floating on the water, maintaining huge storage buoyancy. This is why the ship was raised up like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The steel cables that fixed the No. 2 chimney were eventually broken because they could not withstand the huge water pressure. Then the No. 2 chimney, which had already submerged into the sea level, broke and collapsed, and sank into the sea with many killed passengers, while more people were sucked into the break.

Since the hull was no longer balanced, some passengers slid from the stern to the water like sitting on a slide. Many people were sucked into the hull and never came out again. The loyal power engineer kept maintaining power in the cabin, but was eventually electrocuted. The sea water immediately poured into the central power control room, causing a short circuit. The lights of the entire ship went out instantly, and then shone again in an instant, and finally dimmed forever, and the stern continued to rise.

After the stern of the boat was raised, the hull was under unimaginable pressure, because the weight of the stern part was much greater than the weight of the flooded bow, and the steel bars were constantly twisting and deforming, and now they finally came to the limit. Amid a series of breaking sounds and explosions, the middle of the hull of the No. 3 chimney and No. 4 chimney of the Titanes were blown up and broken. The raised stern part fell down after the entire hull broke and hit the water heavily. The remaining 2 chimneys were also broken. The main body became two parts, but the bottom main trunk was still broken. The bow sank directly into the water, and the stern floated temporarily because there was basically no water inlet.

As the hull disintegrated, all the animal parts in the ship seemed to fall down into the water at the same time. The stern sanks sink little by little and slowly turn obliquely and vertically. The last good news for the passengers is that the fire was extinguished. The huge buoyancy at the stern caused the only two main bodies to be completely disconnected. The bow rushed straight to the bottom of the sea at a speed of 40 miles per hour. Due to the designer's careful design, the stern still floated vertically on the water.

Although the stern of the ship barely floated, it continued to sink in less than a minute because its broken bottom was filled with sea water until it completely sank and disappeared on the sea surface. The huge whirlpool generated sucked in a large number of passengers and crew members who had persisted until the end. Of course, many passengers and crew members had already become stiff corpses.

Although many people have surfaced, due to the cold sea water and the failure to receive timely rescue, most of the passengers and crew floating on the water gradually lost their temperature and were frozen to death. The sea surface soon returned to peace, and a great ocean liner ended its short and dazzling life here, and more than 1,500 passengers who failed to board the lifeboat became its burial objects.

The entire shipwreck incident took three hours. These three hours are just a moment for the sea, but for some people, it is a nightmare for a lifetime.

"No, captain, there is a huge vortex in front of it!" Just as Pang Xiaonan's thoughts were still stuck in the nightmare-like shipwreck, Buenosky's voice sounded, his tone was full of anxiety.

After being hit by lightning, the Flower of Bloss experienced a moment of stability, but was about to drive to the edge of the vortex.

Pang Xiaonan looked around and saw that the vortex was about twenty meters in diameter. No, his eyes seemed to be inaccurate, and it seemed to be at least fifty meters in diameter. The surrounding sea water was circling around the vortex like a water flow in a washing machine, surging, as if it was like a black hole that could swallow all objects.

The sky is pitch black, and if you don’t look carefully, you can’t find this vortex at all. The dark clouds in the sky block all the light from sprinkling onto the sea. Only when the occasional lightning lights up can you see the huge vortex clearly with the help of a brief lightning.

At this moment, the Flower of Bloss is approaching the vortex. If nothing unexpected happens, in just a quarter of an hour, the ship carrying the scientific expedition team will disappear on the sea.

Pang Xiaonan subconsciously looked at Buenosky and asked, "First mate, is there any way to avoid the vortex?"

Buenoski seemed a little anxious at this moment, and the continuous waves made him feel a little tired, but as an experienced captain, his eyes were still very stable, "Captain, there is only one way to drive at full power and avoid the vortex."

"Can the sails be raised in this ghost weather?" Pang Xiaonan remembered that the Flower of Bloss had exhausted fuel and could only sail on the sea by relying on wind. But in the current environment, can the sails be used normally?

"You can't use sails. Such a big storm may break the mast." Buenosky lived tightly on the steering wheel, and his fingers pressed a button.

"What do you mean to use the engine and start the propeller?" Pang Xiaonan stared at the vortex tightly. At this moment, the Flower of Bloss was getting closer and closer to the vortex, "But have we used up all our fuel?"

"A little bit left." Buenosky had already started the propeller. "Since our fuel emergency, I stopped using the engine and sailed on the sails to keep some fuel for emergencies."

"That's great, what are you waiting for? Start the engine and avoid the vortex with all your strength." Pang Xiaonan felt excited for a moment. It seemed that in the vast sea, an experienced old captain was so important.

"Yes, captain!" Buenoski struggled to turn the steering wheel and tried his best to adjust the direction of the Flower of Bloss.

However, the gravity of the vortex was very huge, and the flower of Bros drifted towards the vortex.

"What's going on?" Pang Xiaonan was a little anxious. According to this situation, the Flower of Bloss was so swept into the vortex. The lightning and heavy rain did not stop, hitting the Flower of Bloss's hull, making a violent impact sound.

"Don't worry, captain, the ship's reaction will be processed." Buenosky frowned. He tried his best to let the Flower of Bloss fall into that huge vortex.

The flower of Bloss began to circulate around the vortex, and was about to sink into the unfathomable huge current.

The people in the cabin didn't know what was going on now. They were inside the boat, but they felt that the hull was shaking smaller than before, and they didn't know that they would soon fall into the dark seabed.

Many people dare not look at the situation outside because outside the narrow window was filled with storms and lightning and thunder. The rain blurred the glass of the window. No matter how carefully you want to see the outside environment, you can only see a piece of black and black. Occasionally, one or two lightning flashes, which shocked the hairs on the body.

"Ah..." Buenoski let out a dull roar, and finally, the Flower of Bloss left the edge of the vortex and escaped towards the periphery.

Pang Xiaonan's heart was always grinning. He didn't know when the Flower of Bloss would sink to the bottom of the sea, but as long as it could still be on the sea, the few people on the boat would still survive.

If the ship falls into a vortex, he will not even be sure of himself to survive. The power of nature is unpredictable, and sometimes even gods and immortals cannot do anything about it.

Pang Xiaonan began to wonder if the dragon was doing its merits. After all, he humiliated it in New Bloss, and it was very likely that it would set up obstacles on the way back to the Flower of Bloss to avenge the arrow.

But Pang Xiaonan quickly denied this idea. When the Shenlong Company dealt with him, he was just a coping match. The gorilla said that he would not interfere with his subordinates' actions, but did not say that he would order the scientific expedition team to prevent the return. According to the lazy tone of Shenlong, it would not be possible that it would run so far to make a trip.

Fortunately, under Buenosky's control, the Flower of Bloss gradually moved away from the center of the vortex and quickly fled towards the outside. Pang Xiaonan's heart was finally let go.

Pang Xiaonan gave Buenosky a thumbs up and said, "Good, first mate."

Buenoski wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly: "Luck, Captain, we almost got caught in that vortex."

"The good guys have their own appearance, we will be fine." Pang Xiaonan patted Buenosky's shoulder and took a deep breath. Even he was unsure just now, and Buenosky was very calm.

"But I still want to tell you some bad news," Buenosky's serious expression made Pang Xiaonan's heart skip. "We have completely exhausted our fuel, and our future voyage can only rely on sails."

Pang Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Buenosky was going to tell him where the flower of Bloss had water or was damaged, which would have killed him. Just like the tragedy of the Titanes, a small crack in the hull was fatal, but fortunately, it was just exhausted.

"Then use the wind to go home. Finally, I escaped the disaster. It's no big deal if the fuel is exhausted."

"But captain, if we encounter such a dangerous situation again, we will have no motivation to escape." Buenosky saw that Pang Xiaonan did not understand what he meant, and added another sentence.

Pang Xiaonan was nervous again, then laughed and said, "I said, "First mate, can you not worry about anything? Is this situation possible at any time? Is it a little confident? I believe that what we will greet next is Wanliu."

The flower of Bloss gradually drove away from the center of the storm, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, the raindrops gradually became smaller, and the lightning disappeared. You could vaguely see the sparse stars above your head. Pang Xiaonan's mood was like pushing away the dark clouds and seeing the sun and the moon, gradually becoming cheerful.

He opened the hatch door and went to the deck to check it out, but was caught by Buenoski and said, "Don't go out now. It's not too late to go out after we completely leave the storm."

"Why?" Pang Xiaonan was a little confused. The Flower of Bros is very stable now, and there are no big waves on the sea.

"Just in case, if there is another thunder coming, and the boat is wet, you may be hit by lightning." Buenoski's experience told him that it is not suitable to go to the deck yet.

"Yes," Pang Xiaonan shuffled the wet hair on his head embarrassedly, "It's still your old man."

So Pang Xiaonan closed the hatch door and continued to stare at the sea with Buenosky in case anything unexpected happened.

Finally, the Flower of Bloss was completely away from the storm, and the stars above his head increased. Pang Xiaonan looked up at the sky and said, "This time he has completely left the storm."

Buenoski nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to our luck, the typhoon was not heading in the direction we were traveling."

"What? Do you don't know the direction of the typhoon's action?" Pang Xiaonan was a little scared. If the direction of their escape was the same as the typhoon, they would have to withstand the test of a storm along the way.

"I could see clearly the direction of the typhoon at that time in the center of the storm," Buenoski was really powerless at that time, "Besides, I was fully focused on the steering wheel and just wanted to escape the vortex, so naturally I didn't pay attention to the direction of the typhoon."

"Good luck!" Pang Xiaonan wiped the cold sweat from his head. This feeling of surviving the disaster was really exciting.

This time, it took almost three or four hours to fight the storm, which made Pang Xiaonan and Buenoski physically and mentally exhausted.

It was late at night, and the people in the cabin were exhausted. They were swept up by the huge waves and were stunned in the cabin. At this moment, they all felt the long-term tranquility. The sea surface was no longer magnificent, and there was no lightning disturbance outside the window. All the defense in their hearts was removed. Someone had already snored gently, and the snoring spread in the cabin, arousing the sleepiness of most people.

"First mate, you're sleepy. Why don't you take a break? I'll take the helm for you." Pang Xiaonan saw Buenosky's eyelids fighting and was almost asleep standing and hurried over to get the steering wheel.

"I'm indeed a little sleepy, but captain, can you look at the direction?" Buenosky was so energetic that he was still worried about handing over the steering wheel. After all, if you make a mistake, don't worry, the boat will have to go back to the center of the storm.

"Don't worry, I'm a physical radar, I can figure out the general direction." Pang Xiaonan took over Buenosky's steering wheel without saying a word, pushed Buenosky to the side. There was a shabby chair in the corner of the cockpit, where Buenosky usually took a nap.

"Okay, I'll take a moment. If you are sleepy, just ask me to get up." Buenosky didn't insist. He knew that Pang Xiaonan's ability was, and there would be no danger in handing over his life to him. He walked to the chair, leaned against the chair, and then fell asleep.

Although Pang Xiaonan is very tired, he is a little better than ordinary people. He can suck spiritual energy while taking a nap and avoid danger by exploring the fluctuations in the surrounding aura, so he is not afraid of not sleeping.
