The giant ship was tossing violently in the storm.
Liu Jin was still standing in the wheelhouse, clinging desperately to a mast, and yelled frantically at Peng Ze, "Hold steady... be careful... ah...!"
“Ding ding ding…”
Right rudder eighteen.
“Ding Ding…”
"Left rudder fifteen..."
There was also a clanging sound from the bottom of the cabin, and a rower was shouting desperately: "Push the left oar with all your strength... Tie yourself up to the rower's position!"
“Right paddle, right halfway…left paddle, stop, stop, stop…!”
Xiong Er never put down his telescope by the well. He looked through the lookout window blurred by the sea water and tried hard to see the situation ahead more clearly.
However, everything seemed to be in vain. The heavy rain blurred his vision and he could not see what was happening ten feet ahead.
He was just relying on his own feelings, and in this hurry he recalled the coping methods he heard from those ocean-going sailors.
The huge dreadnought-class battleship was as small as a small boat in this storm. It was lifted high by the huge waves and then smashed down heavily.
Xiong Er at the well was extremely worried that the warship would break in the middle, but suddenly he remembered that the warship was made of half steel, and a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.
If it was a ship from the Ryukyu Kingdom, it would not have been able to survive until now.
The three supply ships behind are made entirely of wood. I wish them good luck.
Su Mo in the cabin on the second floor untied the rope on his body and tied his senior brother tighter.
"You just stay here."
"What are you going to do?"
"Second Brother and I will go to the bottom of the boat and help row."
"Second Brother, let's go!"
"good!"
"Marines, everyone, follow me to the bottom of the ship!" Su Mo gathered his true energy and roared loudly. At this moment, the Marines living in the cabin on the second floor showed excellent military qualities.
They are all warriors! People with martial arts skills!
They are the special forces among the special forces trained by Bai Yulian!
Led by Su Mo, they stumbled to the front cabin and went down to the bottom of the ship.
"From now on, the Marines will take over the rowing positions, and you will be in command!"
At a command, the Marines replaced the exhausted rowers, and the extra people found a place to secure themselves, ready to take over the next round at any time.
With the group of people paddling hard, the speed of the giant ship increased slightly, but it was still in the storm, and Xiong Er by the well still could not see the blue sky and white clouds outside the storm.
The ship was up and down and bumpy, Su Jue was vomiting so hard that he felt worse than death, and the huge ship was tottering in the raging waves.
Xiong Er put down the telescope by the well, turned around to look at the dark clouds and rain around him, and suddenly grinned - What the hell, as an ambassador, I'm going to die at sea!
I don’t know how Princess Sakura is doing in the Yu Dynasty now?
Last year she said she wanted to return to the Wu Dynasty. Alas... she followed Fu Xiaoguan to the Yu Dynasty, but after many twists and turns, Fu Xiaoguan returned to the Wu Dynasty and became the emperor. She was afraid that there was no hope left.
This Fu Xiaoguan is really something. There is no reason for him to explore the waterway in such a hurry!
He is invincible on land, but he knows nothing about the sea!
To find a safe passage would require a huge fleet and several generations of people.
His rash decision cost everyone's life. Unfortunately, after traveling such a long way, no one was able to deliver the sea charts along the way.
Just as he was thinking this, Su Jue, who was lying in the cabin, stopped vomiting.
He actually took out a pen and started drawing on a piece of paper.
At this moment, his hands were extremely steady, as if he ignored the crazy shaking of the giant ship.
He is drawing the nautical chart for these three days!
Most of the drawing on the paper has been completed. From Liuguo to here, he needs to complete it.
This was the wish of the junior brother. The ship was afraid of sinking, so he had to let the crow take the map out later. He didn't know that the crow could not fly to the shore to rest, nor could it penetrate the huge storm circle. Even if it could penetrate, it would die of exhaustion at sea and become a meal for some fish.
He gathered all his energy and inner strength, and spent half an incense stick of time to mark out the route that had been imprinted in his mind for the past three days.
He breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that his crown was in another corner, and the crow seemed to have been scared silly.
He suddenly despaired, with a wry smile on his face, "Su Rou... Actually, I miss you very much. You should have gone to Guanyun City to find Sixth Junior Sister. Su Su is about to give birth."
Su Jue untied the rope, staggered and flew to the corner, picked up the hat and grabbed the crow. The crow struggled desperately, its eyes full of fear.
"For the last time, send this thing over to Junior Brother Fu Xiaoguan."
After tying the sea chart to the crow's feet, he flew to the window with difficulty and opened it with all his strength. The sea water rushed in his face. He threw the crow out, but the crow flew back with a start... This animal is also afraid of death?
Su Jue had no choice but to close the window. He was catching crows in the cabin, but he didn't know that Xiong Er, who was standing by the well in the observation deck on the second floor, had raised his telescope again, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He saw the edge of the storm!
He saw the bright sunshine and white clouds.
"Paddlers, full speed ahead!"
"Port twenty-five!"
“Hurry up, hurry up…!”
Liu Jin also raised his telescope at this moment. He opened his mouth wide and suddenly shouted, "We are alive! We are alive! Row the boat faster, faster, faster!"
Peng Ze's vision gradually brightened, and Senior Brother Su Jue suddenly realized that the boat was not shaking much. Su Mo and others were under the boat, and they received instructions to row at full speed.
"Hey, it seems to be stable."
"Yes, General, rowing is not as hard as before."
"Are we really out of the storm?"
"Maybe, come on everyone!"
The flag bearer on the third-floor observation tower raised his telescope and looked back... In the vast ocean, there was no trace of the three supply ships.
They were just afraid...of not making it out alive.
The 'Liu Jin' sailed out of the storm circle, and the storm rolled away and disappeared from their sight.
The giant ship stopped, and Liu Jin and others went up to the third deck. They looked around and saw that everyone was silent.
After a long moment, Liu Jin took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and shouted, "Liu Jin... raise the sails and set off!"
"Sir, the food and fresh water on the main ship can only last for one day at most!" said Xiong Er at the well.
"So we must set out. If we can't find land... we'll just die at sea."
"Alright, everyone, take your positions and go!"
The 'Liu Jin' continued to move forward on the sea, dragging its damaged hull.
Three days later...
Everyone despaired again.
No matter how they saved, they had already drunk the last drop of fresh water and eaten the last bit of food.
Liu Jin, however, still stood like a javelin in the command room on the second floor. His gaze was fixed firmly on the distance, and he whispered, "Your Majesty, I beg you to bless me! Please show me your divine power and let us see land!"
He knelt down, facing the east, and bowed devoutly.
