48 Hours a Day

By the time the wind has calmed down completely, there will be only the Cold Raven left in the sea.

“I can't believe we actually escaped! ”

Devereaux looked around until he could no longer see the shadow of any enemy, finally relieving himself and sitting on the deck with one ass.

After finding Harry and receiving the news of Jarvis' betrayal, he was in a state of high mental and physical tension until the danger disappeared, and his body was drained completely without feeling a trace of strength.

With naval firepower taking an absolute advantage and the seaport almost completely sealed off, only a dozen of them, led by Zhang Heng, actually drove the Cold Raven out of the blockade, and then dumped the soldiers behind them to successfully carry the terrible storm.

Every step of the way during this period was fraught with danger, and all of us did our best, but even then there was still a lot of luck to get there, especially when the storm arrived, and if the Cold Raven was sunk by those two armed ships later, it would be even more incredible to be able to safely pass through the storm in the condition of the Cold Raven.

As the sky grew bright and the distant sky filled with fish bellies, the drunken crew finally woke up from their sleep, with more people on the deck, but Divrena's eyes swept around and eventually landed on the silent standing figure at the stern of the boat.

When the man said that he would lead everyone home, Diffrena thought he was just appeasing the mood of the sailors. After all, Zhang Heng, who was captain at the time, had to stabilize the situation first, but he didn't think that the other party had actually fulfilled his promise to lead the Cold Crow out of the sky in a desperate state where there was no hope.

What he did last night was something no one else could have done in his position.

This has gone beyond what manpower can do and is a miracle, as can be seen from the eyes worshipped by the surrounding sailors.

However, Zhang Heng's face did not have much happiness. After a short break, Diffrena responded with a little strength and stood up and walked to Zhang Heng's side, looking at the latter's eyes. It should be the direction of Nautilus Island, but she could not see anything from this distance.

“Do they… have a chance? ”

Zhang Heng shook his head, “The navy side is well prepared this time, there is Jarvis, this time we have suffered greatly, Black Prince Sam they want to survive, but there is no other option but to retreat to the heart of the island, but this is just in the navy's hands, there is nothing to do on the navy side, just wait for two weeks, then go to the island and face only a frail group of pirates. ”

Diffrena was silent, in fact he had already guessed the result, which was why Zhang Heng had to leave with the Cold Crow in any case, and the outcome of the battle had been fated long before the battle began.

Although the warring parties are not far apart in numbers and firepower, this is not a fair battle at all, with pirates on the island being attacked in the middle of a carnival, far from their battleships, unprepared, and their brains paralysed by alcohol, forced to fight in such a state that victory is conceivable.

As they were speaking, they saw the newly recruited bookkeeper on board hurrying over.

“Captain, Mr. Devereaux, you'd better take a look.” The latter is nervous.

Zhang Heng and Diffrena heard and the bookkeeper went down to the warehouse. By this time, the sea water inside had almost been pumped out. In addition to being a little wet, it had basically recovered, but everyone looked serious, surrounded by a fresh water bucket.

Divrena reached out and held a saliva from it and sent it to her mouth, but soon after she tasted the saltiness, she threw it up again, and then asked, "How many? ”

“We had bad luck with two shells landing in our freshwater storage area, probably destroying seven or eight barrels of freshwater, and some of the barrels were damaged, which would have been fine, but once the water was in the cabin, there was no more rum left on board, because we took out thirty barrels at the previous evening's party. ”

“Anything else?” The Quartermaster saw the bookkeeper say half of him swallowed his saliva and frowned.

“And the biscuits stored here are also soaked in sea water, and we rescued some of them, but some of them should no longer be edible. ”

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

“Food would be fine, no biscuits and potato bacon and other things. In addition, we can organize hand fishing on board. If we save some food, we should be able to hold up to Nassau, but fresh water and fresh water may only be enough for another four days. ”

“Four days? ”

“At the current rate of consumption, yes. ”

Difrena immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and it took almost two weeks for the Cold Raven to sail from Nassau to Nautilus Island, and this was still a breeze.

Now that the Cold Raven has just gone through a war, fortunately the mast has not been seriously damaged, and the broken wind sail is already being repaired by organizers, but the wind direction is not good for them now, and it will take longer to get back.

“Are there any islands nearby that can replenish fresh water?” Zhang Heng, who had been silent, asked.

“In the vicinity… there is a small island, only a quarter of Nautilus Island, but there is no water.” A sailor's way.

“From now on, we're going to start strictly controlling freshwater rations and distributing them on a daily basis.” Devereaux.

Zhang Heng heard the rumor, against Harry Road beside him, "Go to the captain's office and get my chart. ”

The latter was eavesdropping on this side of the conversation with his ears upright, thinking about when Diffrena would tell Zhang Heng his credit, and he heard Zhang Heng opening, stunned, but he thought of something, his face appeared delighted and flew quickly to the captain's office.

As a result, Zhang Heng's captain's chamber was beaten. Harry was unfamiliar with it. It took him half a day to find the nautical chart from the top of the bookcase and take it off.

Zhang Hengzhang opened the chart, first found Nautilus Island, then found the nearest other island, and then seemed to be calculating something.

Devereaux was confused, "Isn't there fresh water on that island? What's the use of going there. ”

“We got chased by those guys for so long, it was a little too cheap for them to leave without interest, and we wanted fresh water to fall on them.” Zhang Hengfangdao.
