Seeing the bright smile on Anna's face, Qin Hai's heart suddenly felt open.

Actually, there was nothing bad about being soft-hearted. Just being soft-hearted to their beloved woman would give them more care and love, making them happier and happier.

To be merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself. This saying was always true.

A peaceful life would never come looking for him. Only by breaking all threats with his fists could he obtain true peace.

Anna was startled for a moment, and then she enthusiastically greeted the two people who were standing at the bow of the s.h.i.+p, embracing and kissing the sea breeze in an intoxicated manner.

… ….

When the sun rose from the eastern horizon, a new day officially arrived.

A breeze blew past, and the blue sea surface was covered with a layer of broken waves. The rising sun was shrouded in a layer of red light, giving off a mysterious and beautiful feeling.

When Qin Hai walked out of the cabin, Selina was leaning against the side of the boat, staring blankly at the sunrise. The red glow seemed to cover her body with a thin layer of gauze, making her face which was filled with a three-dimensional beauty look particularly vivid.

After a long while, Selina said, "It is indeed very beautiful, but we could have enjoyed this beauty in a different mood. But now, everything has been destroyed by me."

"You don't have to blame yourself. You are a victim yourself. And it's all right now, isn't it? " Qin Hai looked at Selina and said, "Aside from some fright, not many people were injured, and not many people died. This is already a blessing in disguise."

Qin Hai shook his head and smiled, "Keep it together. You're right, you have to take responsibility for what has happened now. But more importantly, you have to bring everyone back to the dock alive. Let's go and see if there's any food on the cruise s.h.i.+p. "I hope, G.o.d bless, that so many of us will be able to hold on for a few more days."

Serena turned to look at Qin Hai and sighed, "Thank you. I've already checked. There's still some food on the cruise, but from the looks of it, it can only last for about one day. "In addition, there is not much fresh water. At the latest, tomorrow, all of the food and fresh water will be used up."

Qin Hai frowned. If there was sufficient food and water, they could still stay on the cruise for at least two more days. The chances of being saved would be much higher. Food and fresh water were scarce, which meant it was very dangerous. Even more serious was that if this news were to spread and other people found out that food and fresh water were running low on the s.h.i.+p, it would likely lead to looting or worse, making it even more difficult to control.

"For the time being, don't tell anyone else about this news. Once it causes panic, I'm afraid something bad might happen." Thinking of this, Qin Hai solemnly said to Selina.

As the sun rose, almost all the guests walked out of the cabin one by one. Looking at the wrecked cruise, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

On the whole, however, everyone's emotions were stable. After all, those who were able to board the cruise were all the relatives and close friends of Selina. For the time being, no one blamed Selina.

In the morning, Qin Hai did not stay idle. He found a few people on the s.h.i.+p who knew about mechanical repair and electrical circuits and tried to repair the power control and power facilities of the cruise s.h.i.+p.

However, after a busy morning, due to the lack of tools and accessories, the results weren't that good.

By noon, something that Qin Hai was most worried about happened. The clouds on the previously calm sea surface suddenly changed. The wind grew stronger, and the waves also rose higher and higher. The cruise s.h.i.+p began to roll back and forth on the surface of the sea.

By evening, the tallest wave was even taller than five meters, and the seawater could directly hit a deck. The cruise s.h.i.+p swayed violently from the impact of the huge waves, as if it would be swallowed up by the waves at any moment.

On the entire cruise s.h.i.+p, the atmosphere of despair permeated every cabin, and the crying never stopped.

Qin Hai helped Qiao Wei, Xiao Lingling, and the others jump into the rope. After confirming that they wouldn't be thrown off the bed, he walked out of the room with difficulty step by step.

When he reached the side of the boat, he was surprised to find that Selina was on the first deck. The woman, carrying a basin, staggered along the deck, looking as if she wanted to secure it somewhere.

At once Serena fell to the deck, and as the wave receded, she followed the sloping cruise s.h.i.+p into the water on the other side.

At the critical moment, Selina clutched a metal pillar at her side, but even so, her condition seemed very dangerous. She could be thrown into the sea at any moment, with the s.h.i.+p's violent jolts.

The situation was urgent. Qin Hai didn't have much time to think and rushed down the stairs. It was difficult for him to move forward, and every step he took was extremely difficult. There were even a few times where he was almost thrown into the ocean.

When he finally reached Serena's side, another huge wave hit the other side of the cruise s.h.i.+p. The cruise s.h.i.+p tilted at an angle of 90 degrees. Although Selina was tightly hugging onto the pillar, her body was completely suspended in the air. As long as she let go, she would fall into the rough sea.

By this time she was exhausted, and her hands were still moving slowly, despite her best efforts.

Kcha! *

The sound of thunder suddenly exploded in the sky. Selina's last bit of energy was exhausted. Her hands had completely let go of the iron pillar as she fell into the sea.

In her despair, she could no longer control the fear and despair in her heart and let out a scream.
