Boom!

The artillery fire of the special heavy cruiser was very fierce, the flagship opened fire, and the other warships surrounding the two pirate ships also immediately began to turn their hulls, echoing the cannons, and in a very short time, the two pirate ships were beaten to tatters and slowly began to sink.

In the cabin, Xia Zuo could already see the sky when he looked up, and the cannonballs were whistling, smashing into the cabin one after another.

"Jump out of the jaw, the ship is sinking!" Miranda screamed, running naked to the window.

Squeak!

The Haixun 5 tilted sharply, the hull of the ship shattered, and the cabin deck became a slide, Xia Zuo clasped the raised structure on the wall with one hand to prevent himself from slipping, and his face turned pale!

He's afraid of water!

"Let go, you'll sink with the ship!" Miranda had already run to the window, and when she saw Xia Zuo's frightened look, she shouted.

Xia Zuo looked at the sea outside the shattered ship, the waves were surging, and there was no blood on his face!

"Let's go!" Miranda jumped up as she was about to slide out of the cabin, grabbed Natsuzo, grabbed him and ejected him from the shattered cabin, and fell into the sea with a thud......

......

At dusk, the sea area where the pirates were annihilated was brightly lit, and many pirates who tried to escape were caught on special heavy cruisers, of course, some pirates died in the sea because of artillery fire, and the entire sea, within a radius of nearly a kilometer, was full of ship debris.

On the sea, only eight junior cruisers and one heavy cruiser remained, and the other warships were evacuated after the pirate ship was annihilated.

At this time, people constantly jumped from the heavy cruiser, fell into the sea, wore searchlights, and dived towards Haiti, and every once in a while, someone poked their heads out of the sea. Heavy cloth bags will be thrown onto the deck of heavy cruisers.

This is a shallow sea, the depth of the water is only about 100 meters, they are salvaging the gold coins that were poured into the sea by pirates, a full 1.2 million gold coins, equivalent to 40 tons of gold, such a large fortune, they can't let it go, and at this time, they can go into the water, at least the professional of the strength of the martial artist, ordinary people simply do not have the ability to dive into the bottom of the sea at a depth of 100 meters.

So. Even if they had an alchemy product called "Gold Absorbing Stone" that could absorb gold coins, it would take at least a few days to salvage.

Special heavy cruiser, two kilometers to the north, on the sea, in the dark, the two of them clutched a broken plank, undulating with the waves.

"Poof...... Miranda, are you okay?" said Natsuzo, whose face was pale, as he grasped the plank with his hand and breathed rapidly.

"Cold ...... It's cold!" Miranda looked even worse than Xia Zuo, her lips already purple. Her voice was weak, and her swimming skills were very good, but she was still sick, and the sea was very cold.

"I ...... Can I hug you?" Xia Zuo hesitated slightly. Asked.

He was not worried that he would freeze to death, his strong physique made him not afraid of the cold of the sea at this time, he was more worried that Miranda would pass out, and it was Miranda who took him here to swim. If Miranda had lost consciousness, he would have died very quickly on this plank alone.

"It's so cold!" Miranda slipped into Xia Zuo's arms without thinking. The smooth body wrapped around Xia Zuo, holding her tightly, and the heat emitted from Xia Zuo's body made her feel a trace of warmth.

"Hold me tight...... It's cold!" Miranda felt like she was about to freeze, her head aching and groggy, and her thoughts slow.

"We're going to sink ......," Natsuzo reminded Miranda's ear, his hand gripping the plank beside him, which was large and irregularly long, estimated to be two square meters.

In fact, Miranda can climb up and sit on the plank, the sea water is buoyant, and Miranda sits on the plank alone so that the plank will not sink, but it may be discovered by the British Navy two kilometers away.

Time passed slowly, and at night, the temperature of the sea dropped again, and it was really enough to freeze to death.

The salvage continued, with Chazzo, Miranda, and Plank moving another kilometer away from the heavy cruiser, while the other warships waited farther away.

"Miranda, wake up, don't sleep, wake up!" Xia Zuo shouted twice in Miranda's ear, he felt Miranda's body getting heavier and heavier, in fact, he already had the idea of wanting to surrender and call for help, but since the other party could even do something to attack the surrendered pirate ship, who knows if Lu Dao would go up and be killed.

"Hmm...... It's so cold......" Miranda sobered up a little and muttered subconsciously.

"Clothes, I'll give you the clothes, you have to hold on......" Xia Zuo said, trying to push Miranda away, but Randa hugged her very tightly, and her sense of survival made her refuse to give up this only warmth.

Xia Zuo was helpless, one hand slapped the wooden board next to him, and the palm of his hand was inserted vigorously, and then the other hand, which was completely relaxed, quickly untied his outer robe, and the thin clothes inside were also untied, and surrounded Miranda again.

The skin of the upper body of the two of them was tightly pressed together, Xia Zuo's brows condensed slightly, and he sank his mind to his chest, feeling the blood magic stone connected to his heart, and the Blood Holy Demon Book was running at full strength.

"It's so warm...... Miranda hugged Xia Zuo tightly, making an inaudible murmur, and she could clearly feel that Xia Zuo's chest was hot.

"You hold on, don't ......sleep," Xia Zuo said, a small piece of broken wood came with the waves, no one dragged it down, and it was much faster than the one Xia Zuo grabbed on.

Natsuzo saw the opportunity, grabbed the plank, and then began to paddle a little, he used the plank as an oar, and sped away from it.

"Are we going to die?" said Miranda, in a small voice.

"No, we're not going to die. Perhaps it was self-deception, or perhaps it was to comfort Miranda, but in fact Xia Zuo understood that the chances of dying at sea were better than surviving.

"Miranda, you see, it's the ship's ......" Xia Zuo suddenly let out a surprised voice, dropped the small wooden board in his hand, and pointed to the sea to the northeast.

"Huh?" Miranda turned her head slowly and tiredly, and she saw that just a hundred meters away, there was a small white wooden boat on the sea, which was somewhat familiar, and it seemed to be a lifeboat from the previous armed merchant ship.

"We ...... How do we get over......" Miranda's eyes first brightened, then darkened, and her tone was a little desperate.

The distance of 100 meters seemed to be like a moat, and she no longer had the strength to swim over, and now it was a north wind. The waves were all surging north, but the boat was in the northeast, and Xia Zuo couldn't catch up with her and the plank, and the small boat would go farther and farther.

"You let go of me, I'll swim over......," Xia Zuo thought for a moment and whispered in Miranda's ear.

"You...... Is that okay?" Miranda thinks slowly, and speaks slower as a result.

"It should be able to ......" Xia Zuo nodded, he had been soaking in the water for hours, his swimming skills had improved, he could feel it.

“...... Good...... You ...... careful," Miranda slowly let go of her hand. Grabbing the plank to the side, the cold hit again, and her consciousness became even more drowsy.

Syllable!

Xia Zuo's hand holding the wooden board broke it hard, breaking off about a quarter of the two-square-meter wooden board, which was also a large piece, with a slender shape, Xia Zuo clamped the wooden board under his armpit, and slowly swam towards the small boat that was gradually moving away with one hand in the water.

The sea was dark, and Shazo was getting farther and farther away from Miranda. Gradually swallowed up by darkness and waves, Miranda could no longer see him.

"Xiazuo, Xiazuo!" Miranda let out a heart-rending cry, and before the sound could be reached far, it was completely drowned out by the sound of the waves.

For a long time. Miranda had never felt that time would be so long, and at the small boat more than a hundred meters away, Xia Zuo's voice finally came out.

"I ...... Poof......" Xia Zuo popped up from the water behind the boat and shouted, "I'm fine!"

Small wooden boat. White, only three meters long, Xia Zuo grabbed the protruding structure on the hull and climbed up. Tumbling and lying in the boat, he immediately smelled the pungent smell of blood.

The corpse of a pirate, shot twice in the chest, the body was already stiff, he may have put the boat into the water before the British Navy opened fire, trying to escape by this boat, but he did not expect to be killed by the other party's gunmen soldiers, which should also be the reason why the boat was not blown up.

The British Navy was busy salvaging gold coins, and it was impossible to waste a single shell on such a small ship.

Xia Zuo first threw the pirate's corpse into the sea, then jumped off the boat with a rope, tied one end of the rope to himself, and the other end to the stern of the boat.

The force was mutual, and Shazo and the boat slid in diametrically opposite directions at the same time, but the boat had more inertia than Chazzo, and when the rope was tightened, he was pulled to a halt by the boat, and then rushed forward with the boat, which was going in the same direction as Miranda.

Miranda, who was drowsy and almost fainted, looked at the white boat rushing towards her, but when she was still more than ten meters away from her, she ran out of strength and slowly stopped.

Immediately after, the boat rushed forward again, Xia Zuo pushed again, the force was a little less, and the boat flew directly to Miranda's side.

"Go up, lie down, ......" Xia Zuo swam out of the back of the boat, grabbed Miranda, and threw Miranda directly into the boat, and then stripped off his clothes in the water and threw him into the boat.

"You...... Not coming up?" asked Miranda as she climbed onto the side of the boat and looked at Xia Zuo in the water.

"No, we're going to get out of here, you get dressed, get down, and don't be seen." Xia Zuo said.

Seven hours later, in the early morning, on the endless sea, the wind was very small, and only a lone small boat was parked on the sea.

Xia Zuo, who had been pushing the boat in the sea all night, finally untied the rope and climbed onto the boat, this night, the boat was pushed out by him for more than 20 nautical miles, he didn't know where he was, it must still be in the North Sea, but there was no trace of the British Navy.

Although he was soaked in water for a long time, Xia Zuo's body surface did not appear white folds, and his strong physique made it difficult for him to be changed.

"Hi, Miranda, hi!" Xia Zuo patted Miranda on the cheek and exclaimed softly.

Miranda was wearing Xia Zuo's full suit and pants, all wet, and the whole person was curled up in the boat, already unconscious.

Xia Zuo touched Miranda's forehead and tried her snort again.

Her forehead was hot, her snort was weak, she was already sick, and she had recovered most of the time after taking medicine, but at this time it had relapsed, and it was more serious.

"Hi, Miranda......" Xia Zuo picked up Miranda, slapped his face and screamed twice, but there was no response.

Xia Zuo reluctantly put Miranda down, and found something usable on the boat naked, two oars, a sea fork, two bundles of rope, and a small burden, Xia Zuo opened the baggage, but his eyes lit up, there were several boxes of canned food in it, and two bottles of water, it was estimated that the pirate who wanted to escape brought it on the ship, because the time was too rushed, so he didn't bring too many things.

Artillery fire, screaming, blood, shards!

Miranda, who had a chaotic dream, felt a coolness, slowly opened her eyes, coughed lightly twice, and she found herself lying in Xia Zuo's arms again, unlike last time, this time it was Xia Zuo who was not dressed.

Xia Zuo shook the water bottle in his hand, looked down at Miranda with a pale face and smiled: "Do you want more?"

"Uh-huh......" Miranda made a small voice, didn't struggle, and nodded.

"Come on...... Slow ......" Xia Zuo pointed the mouth of the water bottle to Miranda's lips and gently tilted the bottle.

After drinking the water, Miranda's breathing was a little easier and her consciousness was much clearer.

"Will we meet merchant ships?" asked weakly, looking at the sea level in the distance, Miranda leaned into Xia Zuo's arms and asked weakly.

The endless sea, it's hopeless!

"It will be!" Xia Zuo said with certainty, the worry in his eyes betrayed him deeply.

Will it be? (To be continued......
