Chapter 224

In the cabin of the jackdaw, people are nervously gathered together.

It's been a minute and a half since Harry dived. Ordinary people's breath holding time under the water is only about 30 or 40 seconds. People like them who live by the sea and make a living in the sea can reach two or three minutes after exercise. However, considering that Harry's exercise below also needs to accelerate the consumption of oxygen, it should almost reach his limit now.

But there was no response under the water, until about seven or eight seconds later, people finally felt that the water level was no longer rising, which also means that Harry successfully blocked the hole, so that jackdaw could avoid sinking.

The crew clapped high fives one after another, but after a while, Harry didn't appear.

Difrena's face changed. He didn't have time to take off his coat and dived into the water. As a result, he saw Harry struggling underwater. He filled the hole in the bottom of the boat and was about to go back, but his leg was entangled by a fishing net.

Harry tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't get rid of them. Gradually, his strength became weaker and weaker, and his struggle became weaker and weaker.

The brain went blank because of lack of oxygen. Harry thought, am I going to die here today? I knew I would not be able to do it, but if I think about it carefully, I don't seem to be able to do it. If the Jackdaw sank, I would have no way to escape

Harry felt the world darken in front of him, his hands and feet stopped swinging, and his memory stopped at this moment, until a palm was slapping his cheek, and someone was pressing his chest hard at the same time.

Harry breathed out a mouthful of sea water, finally regained his consciousness and began to breathe greedily. Then he found himself lifted up by the crowd, and they all called his name together.

Is that what it's like to be a hero? Harry scratched his head. Well, it seemed pretty good.

But before he could enjoy it for a few seconds, he was thrown back into the water.

Not only Harry, who was thrown down, but also his thrower.

Because just now, the Jackdaw suddenly shook violently, and the people in the cabin failed to stand firm. At the same time, the mended place also showed signs of cracking again.

Difrena arranged for two men to operate the water pump to pump out the water in the cabin, while the rest continued to reinforce and repair the cracks and holes in the hull, while he himself rushed to the deck after the situation was stabilized.

As a result, seeing the scene outside surprised him.

He never thought that he had only stayed under the cabin for less than 20 minutes. When he came back, the sea had completely changed. The huge waves were surging, the wind was blowing, and the lightning was falling from time to time.

It's only a few steps away, but the Quartermaster walked for half a minute and slipped twice. Then he came to the rudder and asked Annie, "where's the captain?"

Because of the strong wind and thunder, the red haired girl didn't hear what Dufresne was saying. Until the Quartermaster repeated it aloud, Annie pointed to the main mast behind her. Dufresne saw a vague figure on it. He didn't connect the sudden storm with Zhang Heng. The latter was on the mast and thought he was just going to take in the sails.

So difrenner asked Annie, "where are the Navy people?"

As if answering his question, a shell landed about 10 meters away from the Jackdaw. On the left side of the jackdaw, an armed ship was also floating and sinking in the wind and waves.

The captain gave the order to attack. However, under the current situation, it is difficult for experienced gunners to aim. As soon as the angle of the gun is adjusted, the next second a big wave comes, all the previous efforts are in vain.

However, the other armed ship was in trouble, because the storm came so suddenly that the sailors on the ship didn't react quickly, and the sails were too late. As a result, the mast was directly broken by the strong wind and flew into the sea. As a result, the captain had to order to return to parrot island to avoid the storm, which made the Jackdaw lack a pursuer and pressure It's also much smaller.

But it didn't make him much better.

Although part of the problem of pursuing soldiers has been solved, this extreme weather is a great test for the damaged jackdaw, and the key is that Anne is at the helm now.

The red haired girl has conquered all people by force during her time on the ship, but people like difrenna know her origin and identity very well, and know that she has no sailing experience before she came to Nassau, so she has no experience of steering. In fact, so far, she just holds the rudder and keeps the direction unchanged along a straight line according to Zhang Heng sail.

Difrena was frightened to see that a huge wave would knock over the Jackdaw.

However, it is strange that the Jackdaw has been sailing for such a long time and has encountered a lot of huge waves, but they are basically head-on, such as the fatal waves from the side.

But difrenna didn't dare to gamble any more and took over the rudder from Annie.The armed boat on the left side is still biting them tirelessly. However, as the wind and waves get bigger and bigger, the people on it obviously begin to hesitate.

The people on the ship knew that the Jackdaw was at its weakest moment now. Maybe as long as there was another round, no, even a few more shells hit each other, they could completely kill the pirate ship, which was at the end of its life. This was also the reason why they couldn't let go. They were not willing to fly away.

After all, they were just pirates and hunters, not the real Navy. Although Walden gave them the order to solve the jackdaw, they didn't want to lose their lives in order to carry out the order.

In this case, the danger is beyond their tolerance. There is no sign that the storm will stop. Even if the Jackdaw is successfully killed, there is a high probability that their ship will be destroyed in the storm.

So despite the reluctance, the armed ship had to turn around and return after a few more minutes.

At this point, the Jackdaw finally got rid of all the pursuers.

But now there is still one of the biggest enemies - the unpredictable nature, difrenna still dare not take it lightly, until half an hour later, the storm finally began to gradually reduce, the situation gradually improved.

In this process, the Jackdaw was always in danger.
