My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 750 Cinematic Proposal 5

Si Lisao said, "Why not? At least the experience is real."

Two elderly people were enjoying their last meal under the warm-colored chandelier, their silence creating a romantic atmosphere that spread to the younger people present. Not only was Si Lisao willing to sit down with Ye Siyuan and savor a delicious meal, but even the main protagonists chose to eat their fill before discussing anything else. Because, other than that, there seemed to be nothing else they could do.

The young man and the chubby man exchanged a glance.

The single people paired up, found some desserts, red wine, and other food, and similarly settled down to eat.

They automatically filtered out the continuous screams coming from the ventilation ducts. Even if the world outside the restaurant had already descended into hell, they wanted to enjoy a delicious meal before hell itself arrived.

After eating and drinking their fill, they managed to hold out for another three hours. Then, the entire cabin suddenly fell silent, and no more sounds could be heard.

The chubby man and the male lead analyzed the situation. They suspected that apart from those who, like them, had successfully hidden, and those who had jumped into the sea to escape, everyone else had been assimilated by the zombies and turned into new ones.

The male lead wanted to go out and scout. They couldn’t hide there forever; they still had to find a way to escape.

The chubby man agreed, but he was certain the ventilation ducts were no longer an option. There might still be zombies in the ventilation system. Encountering them midway would make escape difficult due to the narrow space, so they needed to find another way out to investigate.

Just then, the sound of a loudspeaker suddenly came from a corner of the restaurant’s ceiling.

From the other end of the loudspeaker, someone in the cruise ship’s control room spoke in a panic-stricken voice, "Is anyone still alive? I am the captain of this ship. I want to inform everyone that the zombie situation on board has been reported to the authorities. Police rescue is expected to arrive in three hours. If anyone is still alive, you must hold on. If we can survive for three more hours, we might be saved."

The captain didn’t want to wait on the cruise ship for three hours. He wanted to escape immediately.

He had already prepared rubber dinghies and said, "But I’m not sure what the police will do once they arrive or how they will carry out the rescue. To prevent the zombies from spreading to the mainland, they might sacrifice the entire ship. So, I’m giving everyone two choices now."

"One, trust the police and wait here for rescue.

"Two, find a way to save yourselves."

"In the equipment room on the first lower deck, there are rubber dinghies. If anyone can reach the first lower deck and get the rubber dinghies, they can escape."

"Be warned, if you’re not a good swimmer, it’s best not to jump directly into the sea. I’ve already seen people drown immediately after jumping. I hope such a tragedy won’t happen again."

"As the captain of this ship, I’m very sorry to have put you all through this misfortune. I wish everyone good luck."

"Furthermore, in basically every area, if there’s a grille panel on a decorative wall, just open it to find the ship’s structural diagram. Having this diagram might make it easier to reach the first lower deck. I hope you can find it and that it helps you escape. This is my last announcement. Goodbye."

After speaking, the captain turned off the microphone, left the control room, climbed onto a rubber dinghy, and joined several people already on it, leaving the horror-stricken cruise ship.

The male lead, upon hearing the captain’s words, immediately started searching the restaurant’s decorative walls.

The young man, who had the sharpest eyes, pointed to the wall behind the restaurant bar and said, "That looks like a decorative wall with a grille panel over there. Could the ship’s structural diagram be inside?"

The male lead followed the young man’s pointing finger, got up, and walked over. "Let’s pry open the grille panel and look," he said.

The chubby man, being the strongest, also went over and said, "I’ll do it!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Si Lisao also walked over.

The group worked together to pry open the grille panel.

Sure enough, on the back of the grille panel, they found the cruise ship’s structural diagram.

Ye Jingzhe, also known as Little Bingshan, squeezed next to Si Lisao. He looked up at the structural diagram, pointed to a spot, and said, "Uncle, there’s a hidden door here. It allows us to leave the dining room."

Si Lisao saw it too and, as a rewarding gesture, reached out to ruffle Ye Jingzhe’s hair.

Ye Jingzhe and Si Lisao were like audience members watching a movie. Their ability to interact with the characters in the film was limited; they could only be immersed and experience events firsthand, but they couldn’t engage in deep conversations with the characters or make decisions within the movie’s world.

In essence, the characters in the movie couldn’t see them, but they could see the characters in the movie.

Therefore, when Ye Jingzhe, Little Bingshan, found the hidden door, he couldn’t inform the male lead in the movie.

However, the male lead soon discovered the hidden door himself. With an excited gesture, he pointed to a spot on the diagram and said, "Here! The liquor cabinet can be moved. This is a service passage, usually used by waiters and staff. We can leave the dining room through here."

The young man made a fist with his right hand and struck his left palm, then jumped up in excitement.

"Great! We can finally leave! According to what the captain said, as long as we can reach the first lower deck and get a rubber dinghy, we can escape."

The elderly couple, still sitting at their dining table with hands interlocked and leaning on each other, also seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival. If they could leave by rubber dinghy rather than jumping directly into the sea, they too would have a chance at life.

Ye Siyuan, mimicking the female lead, hopped on one foot towards Si Lisao. She grabbed onto Si Lisao’s tall and sturdy frame for support and leaned into his embrace while looking towards the structural diagram.

Ye Siyuan mumbled to herself, "Are we on the sixth deck now?"

"Yes, here," Si Lisao pointed out to her.

"From here to the first lower deck... that’s a full seven decks. Every deck will be a challenge. This is so hard."

Si Lisao, from behind Ye Siyuan, pulled her into an embrace and comforted her, "Don’t worry, the male and female leads won’t die. As long as they survive, we can experience this to the very end."

"Heh, that’s true."

At that moment, the male lead, the portly uncle, and the young man were discussing how to get from the seventh deck to the first lower deck.

They came up with many plans but were uncertain how many zombies they would encounter along the way.

Everyone sensed this path would be fraught with peril, and the slightest misstep could lead to being infected by zombies.

So, they decided to send out two scouts to check the route. If it was safe, one would continue scouting while the other would return to notify the group to follow, as all their mobile phones had lost signal.

As for who would be the scouts?

The portly man volunteered enthusiastically.

The young man, however, hesitated. He didn’t want to be the first to test the waters, fearing there would be no escape if danger lay ahead.

The portly man then looked towards the male lead.

The male lead nodded, then glanced worriedly at the female lead. "Don’t worry," he said. "I’ll definitely come back for you. I will not abandon you."

The female lead chose to trust him. She stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered something in his ear. The male lead then took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders, saying, "Wear this. It’ll keep you warm. Wait for me here, and don’t worry."
