Chi Xiaoyu was pulling on the door, which hadn't opened yet, when suddenly an explosion thundered, the ship violently shook, and then slowly began to list.
The door seemed to be jammed; she couldn't pull it open at all.
The ship was listing badly, and there was oil leaking into the sea and burning, the flames leaping to the sky, though it was unclear where the fire was coming from.
It was only then that she noticed, in the distance, two larger warships approaching, likely the source of the gunfire.
Everything happened in an instant; she had no time to react.
The seawater started pouring in through the window.
"Gong Beiming, Gong Beiming..."
She shouted loudly.
But the noise outside was too great.
Her voice was quickly drowned out.
In such a situation, she didn't know whether Gong Beiming was still alive...
In her panic, she grabbed a life jacket hanging on the wall and put it on herself.
