Volume 6 Chapter 16 Escape?
Quiet inside the captain's lounge.
Xia Zuo stood beside the bed and gently unscrewed the black bottle in his hand, and suddenly, a faint smell of medicine spread in the room, with a strong salty smell.
Xia Zuo frowned and sniffed, then leaned over and brought the medicine bottle to Miranda's mouth, and gently poured the liquid in the bottle into Miranda's mouth, Miranda's mouth opened a slight gap, and the liquid slowly flowed in, and suddenly, Miranda let out a violent coughing sound, as if she was choked.
"Ahem......"
"Don't cough, it's a waste......" Xia Zuo hurriedly stood up the bottle and shouted.
Miranda coughed up all the potions that had been poured into her mouth, wondering if it was too unpleasant to drink to cause such a violent reaction, but she still didn't wake up, coughing twice, still in a coma with her eyes closed.
"What a waste...... Xia Zuo muttered, turned around and sat directly on the edge of the bed, stretching his arms all the way to the back of Miranda's neck, and holding Miranda in his arms.
Miranda was covered with a quilt, and her smooth back was attached to Xia Zuo's upper body, and Xia Zuo was only wearing a big pair of pants, and her upper body was bare, which was very strong to the touch.
"Calm down...... Calm down......" Xia Zuo closed his eyes and muttered twice, before pulling his head slightly, pinching Miranda's mouth with one hand, and slowly pouring the medicine into it with the other.
"Ahem...... Not...... cough ......" Miranda coughed twice, this time because she was pinched by Xia Zuo, but she didn't spit it out, and swallowed it all. 、
She slowly opened her eyes, her mouth was full of unpleasant smells, but her eyes were a little dazed, and she looked slightly sideways at Xia Zuo who was holding herself in her arms, her pupils quickly focused, and her eyes widened.
"Damn...... You want...... What are you doing?" Miranda didn't know where the strength came from, and slapped Xia Zuo in the face twice, and then seemed to use all the strength of his body to retreat Xia Zuo.
Immediately dodged in a hurry, stood on the side of the bed and took a few steps back. The flesh at the corners of her mouth shook unnaturally twice, and Miranda had always been so allergic.
"Damn, what did you do to me?" Miranda shouted, picking up the musket on the bedside table and pointing it at Natsuzo, while the other hand was still tugging at the quilt to prevent it from falling off.
"Feed you the medicine, the medicine given by Arya ......" Xia Zuo put on a gesture of surrender, said helplessly, and shook the small bottle in his left hand as he spoke.
"Hey...... Medicine ......" Miranda lowered her head in a daze, seeing a lot of medicinal juice stained on the quilt. The tongue pursed on his lips again, feeling the strange taste in his mouth, he put down the gun at once, and looked at Xia Zuo with an embarrassed face: "Feed the medicine, I'm sorry......! Really sorry ......."
"I understand you, it's okay, you look much better after taking medicine!" Xia Zuo smiled and said that he didn't mind, Miranda had the experience of almost being raped by Mark, and there was a shadow in his heart. It's normal to be sensitive.
"Here, there's still a little bit of it, you can drink it all......" Xia Zuo looked at the bottle again, and then walked to the bed. He handed the bottle over.
"Xie Lu Xie ......" Miranda took the medicine bottle, pulled the quilt on her body a little tighter, and after a little hesitation, she raised her head and drank all the potions in the bottle.
Her brow immediately tightened like a frightened hedgehog. I couldn't bear to spit out the medicine in my mouth, and swallowed it hard.
"It's so bad......" Miranda made an uncomfortable sound as she covered her mouth.
Xia Zuo had already stepped aside, rechecked the window and locked it. Then he hugged all the stoves in the four corners of the room to the foot of the bed, stood up straight and said, "Arya said that you still have to rest for a day, you can't catch a cold, your face still looks very bad, just stay in bed, you go and get you some food......"
"Then thank you!" Miranda said obediently, she could also feel her own situation, it may be a little difficult to walk on the ground, she just took medicine, and her body is very tired.
Xia Zuo left the captain's lounge, went to the kitchen and found some sandwiches and barbecue salmon, but they were all cold, and it took five minutes to heat up the food, and then Xia Zuo walked out of the kitchen with a plate.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the lounge, Haixun No. 5 shook violently and violently, and after a brief feeling of dizziness, it returned to normal.
Xia Zuo stood steadily, his hands didn't shake, but he also frowned, just took the ship and turned around quickly, and I don't know what happened on the road?
Thinking about it, Xia Zuo walked into the captain's lounge with a dinner plate, carried the small dining table on the bed, and placed the dinner plate on top of it.
"Sandwiches, barbecue, salmon, tomatoes...... There is also clear water, there are no greens, is it enough to eat?" Xia Zuo asked with a smile.
"Mmmm, that's enough......" Miranda couldn't wait to eat, and made a slurred voice, she was really hungry, she hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and she was sick again.
"Alright, I'll go up there and I'll come back to see you later, and if you're really in a hurry, you can shoot...... I'll hear you. After Xia Zuo finished speaking, he turned and left the captain's lounge.
"Why is he so good to me, does he like me?" Miranda thought to herself, looking at the door where Xia Zuo had left, and a little narcissist.
In fact, Miranda's idea cannot be said to be completely wrong, Xia Zuo does like Miranda, but it is definitely not as Miranda thinks, Xia Zuo likes Miranda's friend, maybe it can be called a friend, after all, girls are more likely to get Xia Zuo's favor than those male pirates, this is the nature of men.
On this ship, in addition to Tommy and Arya, it is estimated that only Anthony and Miranda are really recognized by Xia Zuo, and Xia Zuo has always been very sincere to his friends.
As soon as he left the cabin, Xia Zuo was stunned, because he noticed that everyone on the deck did not look good, including Tommy and Arya.
"What's wrong?" asked Natsuzo, for some reason.
"We're surrounded!" said Tommy, slamming his foot on the guardrail, looking gloomily out into the distance.
"Encirclement?" Xia Zuo immediately took out his binoculars and jumped onto the higher foredeck, looking out at the sea level around him.
On the surging sea, in the four directions of southeast, northwest and north, a total of hundreds of British warships approached in an encirclement trend, most of which were junior cruisers, and there were more than a dozen intermediate cruisers.
It was likely to be one of the seven British North Sea Fleets, and in the distance, two dragon knights were still hovering in the sky.
Enough force to wipe out Tommy completely!
Tommy's greatest achievement was the defeat of an ocean-going column, which numbered fifteen warships. At that time, Tommy's main pirate ship was a special battleship 70 meters long, equipped with 130 guns, almost armed to the teeth.
At present, Tommy's side has only two ships of the same class as junior cruisers, and the armed merchant ships may have more firepower but weak armor.
The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, and once they are surrounded, they will only be completely annihilated.
"Things don't look good, those two dragon knights have been watching over us and keep Arya and I from leaving......" Tommy said as he walked over.
"Or else?" Xia Zuo picked up his clothes and pants that had been blown dry hanging on the guardrail. When he asked, he put on his clothes.
"Otherwise, ...... over there" Tommy pointed to the north, the two ships were sailing due east, but they had just turned around, and now they were heading north: "That side is the weakest, twelve junior cruisers, there are no big martial artists on them, I'll go with Arya." Two of them can be destroyed directly, maybe we can rush over. ”
"And what are you going to do now?" Xia Zuo asked, glancing at the dragon knight in the distant sky, and then at Tommy.
"Forcing a rush over, we may have to withstand artillery fire. But this is the only chance. Tommy looked into the distance and said, then looked at Xia Zuo and said, "You have to be ready, if you fail, Arya can take me away." Even if I can't find the island, I'm a Hook Pirate, and I can't die on the sea. But you're probably all going to die here!"
Tommy wanted to make it clear that Arya was a dark wizard and flew extremely fast, but at most she could only escape with Tommy alone.
"Uh-huh, I understand!" Xia Zuo nodded, staring at the thirteen junior cruisers getting closer and closer, his eyes narrowed.
Soon, the distance between the thirteen junior cruisers and the two corsair ships was less than a nautical mile, and at the speed of both sides, in five minutes, they would stagger.
The two pirate ships changed formations, with the merchant ships behind and the Coastguard 5 in front, picking up speed again as the wind set off by Arya.
Tommy himself took the helm, standing at the bow of the ship, watching the opposing fleet get closer and closer.
Bang bang
The other side opened fire, and the sound of artillery fire rang out one after another, and there was an earth-shattering sound, and countless shells came towards Haixun No. 5.
The pirate sailors on the Coast Guard 5 were all hidden, hiding behind the stronger defenses, while the crew members with martial arts such as Xia Zuo stood safely on the deck, the speed of the shells was slow, and they were not dense enough to dodge.
Boom! Boom!
The Haixun 5 bloomed everywhere, the sails were torn out, the hull was damaged to varying degrees, and even the armed merchant ships that followed behind were also attacked, but the attack had only just begun, and it was not enough to silence the two ships.
As Tommy stood motionless behind the helm as the smoke filled the air, a battleship appeared in front of the Coast Guard 5, which seemed to want to take down the Coast Guard 5 at the risk of being completely destroyed.
Hitting the opponent's ship with the bow of the ship, although the Haixun 5 will not suffer much damage, and the opponent will also be destroyed, but it is certain that it will be forced to stop.
"Arya, get rid of it!" Tommy hissed amid the sound of artillery fire.
"Leave it to me!" Arya turned into a black streamer and flew out, floating above the Coastguard 5, letting out a terrifying scream!
The piercing sound made everyone on the boat, including Xia Zuo, cover their ears.
Billowing black air filled the sky, Arya slowly raised her hands, and with the movement of her hands, a monstrous wave suddenly set off in front of the Haixun No. 5, and the wave head of more than 20 meters high was completely arched, pushing the British battleship in front of it and forcing it to the side.
Suddenly, a passage appeared in front of him without the slightest obstruction.
Tommy quickly adjusted the rudder and shuttled through the armed merchant ships behind him.
The billowing black gas spread again, quickly enveloping the sea surface within a radius of nearly a nautical mile, except for the people on the two pirate ships who could see the sea route ahead, the other warships could not see the sea surface clearly, and the artillery fire continued, but most of them were missed.
Two pirate ships rushed over!
Arya gathered away the black smoke and flew back to Tommy's side, looking a little tired.
In the rear, thirteen junior cruisers were thrown farther and farther away, and when the distance exceeded a nautical mile, the people on both pirate ships cheered.
"Oh, God forbid!"
"Damn smashers, eat shit!"
In the cheers, Xia Zuo also smiled, although these two ships were beaten a little dilapidated, but there was no danger of sinking, they could escape from the encirclement of this North Sea Fleet, and they thought that they would not encounter other Imperial fleets for a long time after that, and they could reach the Emerald Isle safely.
"Tommy, what's wrong with you?
"We've been fooled!" said Tommy, gritting his teeth, staring at the sea ahead.
"Fooled?" Xia Zuo didn't understand, but he immediately understood again.
Just as he finished speaking, on the sea five hundred meters in front of the two pirate ships, the sea water was suddenly arched, the sound of the wave was deafening, and in the sound of a bang, a huge warship rushed out of the sea and intercepted the way of the two pirate ships!
The water poured down from the battleship, revealing its true form.
The seventy-two-meter-long three-masted battleship, with extremely thick armor and the flag of the British Empire fluttering in the wind, shrouded in misty brilliance throughout the ship, formed a light shield above the deck, blocking the invasion of the seawater on the crew above.
Special Warfare Ships!
"The special heavy cruiser should be the flagship of this North Sea Fleet!" Tommy couldn't help but say gloomily when he saw Xia Zuo stunned.
It's over, I can't run away!(To be continued......)
