Why it never ends

Chapter 338 The Fall
When everyone crossed the iron bridge and stepped on the deck of the Shengming, everyone's first reaction was to look back in the direction of the port.It's so high up here, high enough to overlook the entire pier.

Su Lei stamped his feet on the spot, and didn't feel the expected shaking. The feeling of being on a cruise ship was not much different from walking on the ground. Although she understood that this was mostly because the ship hadn't started sailing yet, it made her feel a little some consolation.

Su Lei looked around, at the moment they were in the middle of the cruise ship, the lower part was the terrace, swimming pool and tennis court, they were as clean and fresh as those found in any ordinary gymnasium.In the distance, the winding kart racing track was empty, and through the gap between the lanes, Su Lei could even see a small Ferris wheel—this place should be a semi-open-air entertainment center.

As soon as Chiba's front foot arrived, several crew members ran towards her on the back foot. They whispered a few words in her ear, and Qianye frowned.

"Wait here for a while, I have something urgent to deal with right away..."

"Don't bother you, we can go to the guest room by ourselves—"

"No, you can't." Qianye interrupted Si Lei, she looked at Turan, "Turan, come with me."

"Me?" Turan pointed at herself in surprise. Although she didn't understand Qianye's order at all, she quickly followed her pace, and the two quickly disappeared at the entrance of another building.

Si Lei stood there in a daze for a while, and when he stepped forward to chase after him, he could only stare blankly at the deserted corridor.

"So what's the difference between waiting at the pier and waiting on the boat!?"

The empty corridor did not answer Su Lei's question.

"Let's take a stroll nearby." Si Lei heard Anna behind her speak again, she turned her head and saw Anna looking at the lingering smoke in the east, "After all, the view here is quite good..."

Si Lei had no choice but to go back behind Anna, "She is always so startled, she won't explain everything clearly in advance!"

Anna looked at the distant sky, but didn't respond.

A dozen steps away from them, Hesta had left the wheelchair again. She lay on the fence and looked down—the figures on the ground were so small, like peas gathered together.

The boarding gate originally connected to the port hall has become unusable due to the collapse of the building. The crew on the pier are cooperating with colleagues on the side of the ship to lower the white iron ladder. It was originally many closely connected parallelograms. Slowly stretching, making the unique squeaking sound of metal joints, and finally extending into a straight line that slopes downward along the hull... This process is extremely beautiful, and Hesta has no other thoughts.

Zero also stood beside her, but because of her short stature, when her arms hugged the fence tightly, her feet were suspended in the air.Hesta never noticed this until her gaze followed the iron stairs to Zero's side.

Sensing Hesta's gaze, Zero looked up, "Those things are beautiful, aren't they?"

"...You are so dangerous." Hesta looked around, and finally pointed to his wheelchair, "Do you want to step on it, stepping on your feet?"

Zero was silent for a while: "That seems more dangerous?"

Hesta grunted and held his forehead, "You're right...forget about this suggestion."

Zero laughed, she let go of the fence and fell back to the ground: "Is this your first time on a boat, Jane?"

"Yes, how about you?"

"I've been on it many times, but it's the first time that it's as big as today." Zero turned around, "They've just moved up an amusement park."

At this moment, they saw Anna and Su Lei talking to a crew member pushing a trolley.Zero was a little concerned, and soon returned to Anna with Hesta, but as soon as they arrived, the man left.

"What happened? Who is that?"

"It's the crew member in charge of luggage delivery, asking if we need luggage now," Su Lei replied, "We asked her to deliver the things directly to our guest room according to the original procedure."

"...who needs luggage at this time?"

"Maybe because of the accident at the port, she asked us if there was anything we needed to pick up, such as medicine, if necessary, she can help us deliver our luggage now..."

Anna looked back at the back of the crew, "It's very thoughtful, as expected of a world-class cruise ship."

Su Lei glanced at his watch, and it was already 3:44. If there were no other accidents, two hours before sailing—that is, at four o'clock, the pier would stop checking in. At six o'clock, the cruise ship would set sail. .

"What are you thinking?" Anna looked at Si Lei.

"It's nothing... I just suddenly thought that if the 'unpredictable consequences' in the notice refers to the riot at the pier, then it's quite reasonable." Su Lei said softly, "I don't know if anyone has found it today. No.12 waiting room, anyway, according to the rule of exclusion, it is neither in the port hall nor in the basement level."

Anna looked sideways: "...you accept this kind of thing quite quickly?"

"First announce the announcement, then sabotage... My last case was basically in this rhythm," Su Lei laughed at himself, "I'm used to—"

Before Su Lei finished speaking, there was a creepy cracking sound from the hull near the pier. She immediately ran to the edge of the hull and looked down, only to see that the metal staircase that had been elegantly unfolded in the air had broken from the middle. Come on, after swaying back and forth in the air for a few times, they fell quickly, first hit the concrete floor of the pier, and then fell into the light blue sea water with a deafening reverberation, causing huge splashes.

Hesta followed Su Lei closely, and when she returned to the fence and looked down again, the scene in front of her surprised her: more than 20 youths from the thorn monks were holding on to the chains hanging in the air—they were originally stairs. Armrests - sway in the wind.

Everyone on the ground was screaming, but those hanging in the air couldn't say a word.Each of them clutched the chain in their hands as hard as they could, looking down at their feet in horror.

The distance between the Shengming and the pier is enough for people to jump. It is safe to fall into the sea, but the swaying chain always changes their direction. Who can guarantee that they will fall towards the seawater at the moment of take-off , instead of hitting the pier first like those few stair slabs?

"Chains! Chains!"

The crew on the ground let out another cry full of fear.

Everyone looked at the top of the chain - it was firmly fastened to a raised steel bar on the left side of the temporary boarding port, but the ground of the entire temporary boarding port had been pulled off by the falling metal stairs, and the rest Parts are also precarious, deforming uncomfortably as the chains sway.
