48 Hours a Day

Chapter 218: Man in the Real Meaning

It was not until the gunshots were fired that people remembered what had just happened in Nassau.

Zhang Heng attacked Wilton at night the night of the clashes, killing more than 200 people on two boats, none of whom were spared.

According to those who later boarded the ship, there was blood everywhere in the sailor's cabin, like a slaughterhouse.

However, Zhang Heng had been so low profile during this joint hunt that many forgot that he was not just a reasonable man.

Zhang Heng was not interested in playing a werewolf killing ticket with Jarvis to choose who was a werewolf. Even if he had fulfilled his obligations after informing Black Prince Sam and others, if they were willing to believe him, they would not be under his control.

Jarvis also read Zhang Heng's determination from the gun, so he cursed loudly, allowing the warrior's crew to move quickly and give the boat to Annie.

He accepted the pardon because he had accumulated enough wealth to be a pirate for so many years, but even if he had any more money, he could not return to civilization. He was wanted in all the colonies and needed to hide in the east. Even if he returned to his hometown secretly, he would always be afraid, and now he finally waited for a chance to take out the famous pirates on the island, and he could return home, provided he had to live first.

Jarvis never doubted Zhang Heng's resolve.

Because Zhang had never left his head in the process, he was persuaded by Black Prince Sam and others that Zhang Heng could not move.

And his steadfastness finally cautioned others. Black Prince Sam intended to set up an observation post in the forest to monitor the movement of vessels off the island, while Brooke's face became a little gloomy, because what happened to him was the one who had the least confidence in Jarvis and the one who was now most willing to believe what Zhang Heng had said.

It's just that if he chooses to leave now, the gold close to the bottom of the ocean will have nothing to do with him. The Swordfish paid such a great price, and it turned out to be something he couldn't accept, and more importantly, his hull was badly damaged in previous battles, especially when the broken mast was not so easy to repair.

In the end, however, Brooke made up his mind that gold was no good and his own life was important. He also learned to send Zhang Heng to inform his crew, but Brooke didn't intend to go too far, and he wanted to go out to see the situation first.

As for the other two captains, they are still hesitating, especially the one who can't even stand to drink, even if he wants to leave at this time.

In addition to the passage of time, minute by second, at which time everyone was concerned, but in order to prevent disturbances, no captain had for the time being told the truth to the crew on the beach, Black Prince Sam did a lot of work, pulling out the artillery previously erected on the beach and picking out a few sober people to cross the woods and set up observation points in another direction.

However, it is only better to talk than nothing. In the daytime, because of good sight, the target can be spotted far away, and the people at the observation point have time to notify the port. It is now late at night and the visibility drops sharply, and even if they see the ship, they do not necessarily have time to deliver the message.

Parrot Island's topography helped them a lot when they ambushed a Spanish treasure ship, but now it's their problem, because the rock walls are blocked, and you can't even see what's going on outside the port from the beach point of view.

Black Prince Sam's heart is actually inclined to believe Zhang Heng, not just because the two sides once cooperated, one of Zhang Heng and Jarvis lied, if Zhang Heng lied, just keep an eye on the Cold Raven and the gold will not escape, but if Jarvis is lying, the problem is much more serious.

Because even half of the people on the beach now have no mobility, and half of those who can move are basically no longer thinking properly, and have just experienced an intense battle in which pirate ships are more or less damaged and ammunition is insufficient, there is no suspension of victory if naval warships do suddenly appear.

Zhang Hengzhou must also have seen this clearly, which is why the decisive choice to leave.

Black Prince Sam did not blame Zhang Heng for abandoning others, did not speak up, in the current state of the Cold Raven, the rest of Zhang Heng's men on this side could only barely drive it, there were no extra men to fight, he had no other choice but to leave.

On the other hand, the crew of the Cold Raven finally boarded the ship in batches, and in addition to Harry's cook Ramsey on board this time, he actually found the vast majority of the crew on that messy beach in just 10 minutes, leaving only two of them unaccounted for in any event.

Zhang Heng did not wait any longer, he was the last to evacuate the beach, pushed Jarvis into the ferry boat and then sat himself in.

Annie and several other sailors paddled the boat, while Divrena temporarily took over Billy's position, commanding the sober to lay down the sail, anchor the boat and prepare to leave the harbor, when everyone was racing for seconds.

When the boat came off shore, Jarvis finally removed all disguises and opened his mouth.

“You found my man in the woods? ”

“No, technically, your man found my man in the woods.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Funny coincidence, but you know you can't keep running like this, right, even if you can get away this time, but next time? Few of us in our line of work can end well, even Honig, who now occupies the turret of the island without risking any more sailing and pillaging, but if the Redwood Army of England arrives there one day, he will have no escape. ”

“To a certain extent, I support your point of view, but that is not why you betrayed those people on the beach, many of whom consider you friends and brothers. ”

“It always takes a little courage to start a new life, and a complete goodbye to the past, so that I can live a better life in the new world, you haven't seen them, you've seen them look at us, it's like looking at some kind of beast, you see, it's not all about that amnesty letter, I need to completely wash away this past and leave everything here, so that I can be a real person...” Jarvis muttered.

“Then wish you all the best.” The ferry boat has come to the Cold Raven, Zhang Heng put away the short gun in his hand and grabbed the cable beside him.

Just as the Cold Raven raised its sail and was about to leave, a dark shadow appeared not far from the port.
