Chapter 88: Lost Song of the Deep (15)
The tourists were on edge.
Last night, nearly 40 people had fallen into the sea, according to the latest reports.
Injuries were widespread, and the infirmary was overwhelmed, with medical supplies running low.
Today's weather was no better. The sky was as dark as night, and the storm clouds made everyone uneasy.
Compounding the tension was the fact that the ship’s communication equipment was still down, leaving them completely cut off from the outside world.
Senior management had to step in to address the passengers. Though the announcement over the speaker system was distorted, the middle-aged man in a suit appeared prepared.
He explained that the cruise ship had encountered severe weather unexpectedly, leading to equipment failure. He took responsibility and assured passengers that a resolution would be provided once the ship docked.
In the meantime, emergency protocols were in effect. Passengers were advised to stay in their rooms unless absolutely necessary. Meals would be delivered to them by the staff.
He also reassured everyone that there were no immediate safety concerns regarding the Goni, and there was no risk of the ship capsizing or sinking.
The passengers’ anxiety eased slightly.
It was now the tenth day of the game and the seventh day of the sea voyage.
There was still a long way to go, and the storms were likely to intensify.
And the sirens were sure to return.
Ye Nianchu sighed quietly to herself.
“Ms. Ye, you’re here too,” a voice said. She turned to see a young man in work clothes with an ID badge on his chest—Zhong Liang.
“The weather’s really rough. You should stay in your room.”
Ye Nianchu noted his rapid rise in status; in just a few days, he had moved from a regular employee to a member of the management team.
If this game continued much longer, he might advance even further.
