When the wind and waves calmed down completely, only the Jackdaw was left in the vast sea.

"I can't believe we really escaped!"

Di Freina looked around until he could no longer see any of the enemy, and was finally relieved to sit down on the deck.

From the time he found Harry and got the news of Jarvis's betrayal, he was in a state of high mental and physical tension, until now the danger was gone, and his body seemed to be completely drained, and he no longer felt a trace of strength.

In the case that the naval firepower was absolutely superior and the harbor had almost been completely blocked, only a dozen of them under the leadership of Zhang Heng actually drove the Jackdaw out of the blockade, and then threw off the pursuers behind them and successfully withstood this terrifying storm.

Every step was full of danger during this period, and everyone tried their best, but even so, there was still a lot of luck in getting to this point, especially the timing of the storm, if the Jackdaw had been sunk by the two armed ships a little later, and it was even more incredible that the Jackdaw had been able to pass through the storm unharmed.

As the sky grew brighter and the distant sky turned white, the drunken crew finally woke up from their slumber, and there were more people on deck, but DuFrena's gaze glanced around, and finally landed on the silent figure at the stern.

When the man said that he would lead everyone home, Di Freina thought that he was just appeasing the emotions of the sailors, after all, under the circumstances, Zhang Heng, as the captain of the ship, must stabilize the situation first, but what he didn't expect was that the other party really fulfilled his promise and led the Jackdaw to escape in a desperate situation where there was no hope.

What he did last night was impossible for anyone else to do in his position.

This is beyond the scope of human power, it is enough to be called a miracle, and this can be seen from the adoring gaze of the sailors around him.

However, Zhang Heng's face did not have much joy, Di Freina rested for a while, regained some strength, got up and walked to Zhang Heng's side, and followed the latter's gaze, it should be the direction of Parrot Island, but after driving so far, there is nothing to see.

"They...... Is there still a chance? ”

Zhang Heng shook his head, "The navy is very well prepared this time, and there is Jarvis as an internal response, this time we have suffered a big loss, the black prince Sam They want to survive and have no other choice but to retreat to the center of the island, but this is in the hands of the navy, the navy doesn't have to do anything, as long as you wait for two weeks, and then you will only face a group of weak pirates when you go to the island." ”

Di Freina was silent when he heard this, in fact, he had already guessed this result, which is why Zhang Heng had to leave with the Jackdaw no matter what, the result of this battle was already doomed before the start of the battle.

Although the two sides were not far apart in numbers and firepower, it was not a fair contest at all, and the pirates on the island were attacked in the middle of the revelry, far away from their ships, unprepared, and numbed by alcohol, and forced to fight in such a state that could be predicted.

While the two were talking, they saw the newly recruited bookkeeper on the ship hurriedly approach.

"Captain, Mr. DuFrena, you'd better come and take a look." The latter said nervously.

Zhang Heng and Di Freina heard the words and went down to the warehouse with the bookkeeper, at this time, the sea water inside was almost pumped clean, except for a little damp, it had basically returned to normal, but everyone's expressions looked very serious, gathered in front of a bucket of fresh water.

Di Freina reached out and took the saliva from it and put it in his mouth, but quickly spit it out after tasting the salty taste, and then asked, "How many?" ”

"We were unlucky, two shells landed in the area where we stored fresh water, and probably destroyed seven or eight barrels of fresh water, and some of the barrels were damaged, which was fine, but as soon as the water entered the cabin, it was finished, and there was not much rum left on the ship, because we took out thirty barrels at the previous party."

"Anything else?" The quartermaster frowned when he saw the bookkeeper swallow halfway through his speech.

"There are also biscuits stored here that have been soaked in seawater, and we have rescued some of them, but some of them should be inedible."

"So how long do we have enough food and fresh water on board to sail?"

"The food is fine, there are no biscuits and potatoes and bacon and other things, and there can be people on the boat to catch fish, and if we save some food, we should be able to almost last until 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."

Di Freina immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and it took almost two weeks for the Jackdaw to sail from Nassau to Parrot Island, and it was still in a tailwind situation.

And now the Jackdaw has just experienced a big battle, fortunately the mast has not suffered any serious damage, and the broken sails have been repaired by the organization, but now the wind is not in their favor, and it will take longer to go back.

"Are there any islands around here that can replenish fresh water?" Zhang Heng, who had been silent, asked at this time.

"Words nearby...... There is a small island, which is only a quarter of the size of Parrot Island, but there is no water source on the island. "A sailor.

"From now on, we will start to strictly control the rationing of fresh water, and distribute it according to the amount per person per day." Di Freina Road.

Zhang Heng was noncommittal when he heard this, and said to Harry on the side, "Go to the captain's room and bring my nautical chart." ”

The latter was eavesdropping on the conversation here with his ears pricked up, thinking about when Di Freina would tell Zhang Heng about his credit, but when he heard Zhang Heng speak, he was stunned, but he immediately thought of something, his face showed a touch of joy, and he quickly rushed to the captain's room.

As a result, Zhang Heng's captain's room was hit by the seedlings, and Harry was not familiar with it, so it took him a long time to find the nautical chart from the top of the bookcase and take it down.

Zhang Heng spread out the nautical chart, first found Parrot Island on it, and then found the nearest island, and then seemed to be calculating something.

Di Freina was a little puzzled, "Isn't there no fresh water on that island?" What's the use of us going there. ”

"We've been chased by those guys for so long, it's a little too cheap for them to leave without asking for some interest, and besides, we have to fall on them if we want fresh water." Zhang Heng said lightly.

Derpy said

Sorry, it's late, I'll try my best to do the next one, but even if there is, it's late, so don't wait.
