Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Finally, there is light on the cruise ship!

The lights started to come on gradually as the cruise ship began to rock.

The lights that suddenly came on were a bit dazzling.

Lisa felt the deck beneath her feet begin to shake. Instinctively, she grabbed Xu San beside her, then looked at Hans not far away, "Brother..."

Just as Lisa opened her mouth, the rocking of the cruise ship went from slight to violent. The violent shaking came suddenly and without warning, lifting the heavy cruise ship up and then crashing it down.

"Oh no!" Hans shouted. "There's a problem with the undercurrent here. We need to grab it quickly."

As Hans spoke, he ran to the starboard side of the box.

After running a few steps, he spoke again, "Hurry, another storm is coming; it's safe over there."

The Madeira was lifted high into the air once again, and Hans, who was still running, was thrown out.

The deck was sloping and slippery, and Hans slid off the deck after landing.

Xu San took two quick steps, trying to reach out and grab him, but although he managed to grab him, he lost his footing and slid towards the bow of the boat.

The wind started blowing again without warning.

As the deck tilted, deck chairs, life rings, and metal boxes were uprooted by the sudden gust of wind, turning into whistling projectiles in the darkness, smashing against the railings with a loud "bang," and then being swept into the air.

The glass curtain wall shattered in pieces, and sharp fragments mixed with the gale rushed into the cabin. Screams and cries were twisted into pieces as soon as they were uttered, leaving only the howling wind crashing wildly in the ear canals.

After an unknown amount of time, a bolt of lightning appeared on the sea. The instant the lightning flashed, it illuminated the dark night sky and also Hans's terrified face! A tornado!
A giant tornado appeared before everyone's eyes at an inopportune moment!

Without warning, it suddenly appeared, slowly approaching the Madeira with its devastating power.

Xu San looked at Tornado, reached out and pulled Hans up, leaned against the hull, took out a wine flask from his pocket, smiled, twisted the cap, took a deep gulp, and then handed it to Hans, "Brother Hans, have a drink to calm your nerves."

Faced with the immense power of heaven and earth, Hans could only smile wryly, take the wine jug, and drink a sip with Xu San.

The ship began to emit a dying groan.

First, cracks appeared in the steel plates of the deck, and a faint "clicking" sound could be clearly heard amidst the roar of the waves. Then the cracks spread rapidly, like a black net, covering the entire deck.

The rivets were ripped out by tremendous force, flying away with sparks and leaving deep dents in the wall.

The cabin bulkhead broke, furniture overturned, and suitcases, tables, and chairs rolled wildly in the aisle, smashing and mangled. Seawater rushed in through the cracks, first hitting the ankles, then the knees. The cold, salty seawater instantly extinguished the remaining lights, and darkness completely enveloped everything.

The pillar of wind was almost upon them, like a giant maw that would devour everything.

The cruise ship was suddenly lifted up by a tremendous force, its stern soaring high and its bow plunging almost vertically into the sea.

The keel emitted a teeth-grinding, twisting sound, the mournful cry of steel stretched to its limit, turning from a low groan into a sharp roar, and finally into a deafening bang.

With that loud bang, the ship broke apart from the middle!

The fractured section revealed a jagged steel skeleton, with torn cables and broken pipes, as seawater surged in, sweeping everything inside the cabin away. (End of Chapter)
