I Have 48 Hours a Day
Vol 2 Chapter 224: New crisis
? Wait until the wind and waves have completely calmed down, leaving only Jackdaw on the vast sea.
"I can't believe we really escaped!"
Difraina looked around until he could no longer see the shadow of any enemies, and he was finally relieved and sat on the deck with his butt.
After finding Harry and receiving news of Jarvis's betrayal, his spirit and body were in a state of high tension, and now the danger has disappeared. His body is completely drained, and he can no longer feel any strength.
With the navy's firepower occupying an absolute advantage and the seaport was almost completely blocked, only a dozen of them under the leadership of Zhang Heng actually drove the Jackdaw out of the blockade, and then threw away the chase behind him Bing, successfully carried this terrible storm.
Every step in this period was full of danger, and everyone tried their best, but even so, there is still a lot of luck in this step, especially when the storm is just right, if it is a little later The ship was sunk by the two armed ships, and it was even more incredible that the Jackdaw could survive the storm intact.
As the sky was getting brighter and the belly was white in the distance, the drunken crew members finally woke up from their sleep, and there were more people on the deck, but Difraine's eyes glanced around, and eventually he It fell to the silent standing figure at the stern.
When that person said that he would lead everyone home, Difraina thought he was just soothing the sailors' emotions. After all, under the circumstances, Zhang Heng, the captain, must first stabilize the situation, but he did not The thought was that the other party had actually fulfilled their promises, and they had led the Jackdaw to escape the birth in a desperate situation where there was no hope.
What he did last night was impossible for any other person in his position.
This is beyond the scope of human power, and it is enough to call it a miracle. This can also be seen from the worship of sailors around.
However, Zhang Heng didn't have much joy on his face. Difraina took a rest, regained strength, stood up and walked to Zhang Heng, followed the eyes of the latter, and it should be in the direction of Parrot Island. But you can't see anything after driving so far.
"They ... still have a chance?"
Zhang Heng shook his head. "The navy side was well prepared this time, and Jarvis had a response. This time we suffered a big loss. The black prince Sam, they want to live and have no choice but to retreat to the heart of the island. But in this way, the navy is in the arms. There is nothing to do on the side of the navy. As long as you wait for two weeks, you will face only a group of weak pirates on the island. "
Difraina heard the silence, in fact, he had already guessed this result, which is why Zhang Heng had to take the Jackdaw away anyway, the result of this battle was already doomed long before the start.
Although the number of people and the firepower of the warring parties are not far behind, this is not a fair fight at all. The pirates on the island were attacked halfway through the carnival. They were far away from their warships without any preparation. The brain is also paralyzed by alcohol, and in this state, it is forced to fight, and the outcome can be imagined.
While the two were talking, they saw the newly recruited bookkeeper on the ship hurried over.
"Captain, Mr. Difraina, you better have a look." The latter was nervous.
Zhang Heng and Difraina went down to the warehouse together with the bookkeeper. At this time, the seawater was almost pumped out, except that there was still a little humidity, and it was basically restored as usual, but everyone looked like They were all serious, surrounded by a bucket of fresh water.
Difraina reached for a saliva from the inside and sent it to her mouth, but spit it out soon after she tasted the salty taste, and then asked, "How much?"
"We were out of luck. Two shells landed in the area where we stored fresh water. About seven or eight barrels of fresh water were destroyed, and some of the barrels were damaged. There was nothing to do, but the water in the cabin was finished. In addition, there is not much rum left on board, because we took out 30 barrels at the previous party. "
"What else?" The quartermaster frowned as he saw the bookkeeper say he was half-swallowed.
"And the biscuits stored here are also soaked in seawater. We rescued some of them, but some of them should no longer be consumed."
"So how long are the food and freshwater reserves on the boat enough for us to sail now?"
"The food is okay. There are no biscuits or potatoes, bacon and other things. In addition, manual fishing can be organized on the boat. If you save a bit of food, we should be able to reach Nassau, but fresh water, fresh water may only be Enough for us to drink for another four days. "
"Four days?"
"At the current rate of consumption, yes."
Difraina was immediately aware of the seriousness of the problem, and the Jackdaw set off from Nassau and sailed to Parrot Island for almost two weeks, and this was still in a downwind situation.
Now Jackdaw has just experienced a big battle. Fortunately, the mast has not been seriously damaged. As for the damaged sails, it has been repaired by the organization, but the current wind is not good for them. It will take longer to go back. .
"Is there an island nearby that can supply fresh water?" Zhang Heng, who had been silent, asked at this moment.
"If it is nearby ... there is a small island with a quarter of the area of Parrot Island, but there is no water on the island." A sailor.
"From now on, we will start to strictly control the distribution of fresh water, and each person will be allocated according to the amount every day," Difraina said.
Zhang Heng heard nothing and said to Harry on the side, "Go to the captain's room and get my chart."
The latter was eavesdropping, listening to the conversation over here, thinking about when Difraina told Zhang Heng of his credit, but when he heard Zhang Heng talking, he froze, but what he thought of immediately .com ~ There was a smile on his face and he hurried to the captain's room.
As a result, Zhang Heng was caught in the captain's room, and Harry was unfamiliar with it. He pulled for a long time to find the chart from the top of the bookcase and took it down.
Zhang Hengtan sailed the navigation chart, first found Parrot Island on it, and then found another island closest to it, and then seemed to be calculating something.
Difraina was puzzled. "Isn't that island free of fresh water? What's the use of going there?"
"We have been chased by these guys for so long, and it is a little too cheap for them to leave without asking for interest. In addition, we want fresh water to fall on them." Zhang Hengdan said indifferently.
Xiaozhao said
Sorry, it's late, I will try my best in the next time, but even if it is too late, please don't wait.
