Chapter 347 Storm (Part 2)
The hull suddenly tilted right, almost at a ninety-degree angle. If it tilted a little more, the Americas would really be overturned.

Fortunately, when the hull was tilted to its maximum, it slowly stopped, and then suddenly swung back, throwing many things in the cabin out, and many people were smashed to cry and cry.
Li Fangyuan was also hit on the forehead by a hard object. He didn't even see what was hitting him clearly. He just felt a heat on his forehead and then a stream of blood flowed out. However, he didn't feel the pain, but he just felt dizzy in his head. Then he shook his head violently for a few times, and then he felt much more awake.
After the hull was straightened, there was another violent bump, but it was much smoother than before, which made Li Fangyuan and others finally have time to pull out their hands and simply bandage the wound on their body.
At this moment, Captain Jiang staggered back to the cabin. The dry clothes that had just changed into not long ago were wet again. There were a few scars on his face, but his eyes were a little excited and shouted: "Brothers, we have rushed out of the strongest area of the storm. Now the wind and waves outside are much smaller!"
Hearing this good news, extremely fierce cheers burst out from the cabin. Everyone was glad that they had finally survived. Among them, Li Fangyuan even let go of himself and strode to Captain Jiang and knelt down and saluted: "Thank Captain for his life-saving grace!"
Others didn't know that Li Fangyuan almost fell off the boat just now. Now when he saw him giving a big gift to Captain Jiang, he thought he was thanking the captain for taking them out of the storm, so many people followed the wind and knelt down and thanked Captain Jiang loudly.
Captain Jiang was also amused and crying when he saw the people kneeling all over the ground. He immediately stepped forward and pulled them up one by one and cursed: "You knelt down, this ship is not my own. If it weren't for my brothers' efforts before, how could I survive the storm alone?"
After everyone stood up, Captain Jiang immediately gave everyone an order to do their own jobs. Now the wind and waves outside are much smaller and can be fully on the deck.
In addition, although their ships rushed out of the storm, the other ships had not yet been seen. Now, the most important thing for them is to find other ships, and then gather them together to count the losses.
Li Fangyuan held the position of lookout on the boat. Because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is more skilled in archery and has a strong eye. He originally had a lookout on the boat, but when Captain Jiang discovered Li Fangyuan's talent, he immediately asked him to replace the original lookout on the boat.
The wind and waves outside were indeed much smaller. Li Fangyuan climbed up the mast and went up to the observation deck under the wind and rain, and then took out a pair of telescopes from a locked box below the stage. As the watchman, in addition to the captain, only he was qualified to own a telescope.
Li Fangyuan first looked around. Wherever he could see, there was a sea of water and no ships at all. This made him feel sank. Then he raised his telescope and looked around. When he turned in a direction, he suddenly found something on the sea surface, which made his face look very ugly.
But at this moment, Captain Jiang's shout came from below: "Fangyuan, have you found the ships traveling with you?"
"Captain, there are no ships around, but directly behind the stern, I found a body on the sea." Li Fangyuan immediately lowered his head and reported.
When they heard that there were corpses on the sea, everyone on the deck looked solemn. They had just counted the people on the boat. There were not a small number of people on the boat, so the corpse could only be from other boats. If the other party was just unlucky and was blown down into the sea, it would be a better result. What is most afraid of is what went wrong with the whole boat?
"Let the boat be released and salvage the corpse! Let people recognize which boat belongs to it." Captain Jiang immediately made a decision. At this time, the wind and waves were already very small, and the boat could be launched.
This is the weather at sea, and the storm is limited to a certain area. As long as you pass through this area, there may be a sunny day behind you. For example, the bow of the current American ship has already appeared, but there is still a cloud of clouds behind you.
The boat was quickly put down. Two crew members rowed the boat to the sea where the corpse was found. Sure enough, they saw a corpse floating and sinking in the sea. When the two brought the body back to the Americas, someone immediately recognized the identity of the crew.
"Captain, this person is named Liu Qi, and he is a person on the Jiuzhou!" The person who recognized the identity of the body immediately reported to Captain Jiang.
When they heard that this person was from the Jiuzhou, Captain Jiang and others all sank. There were two large ships in the fleet. In addition to their Americas, it was the Jiuzhou. Now the people from the Jiuzhou are dead. If something really happened to the entire ship, their losses would be too great.
In addition, even if something happened to a large ship like Jiuzhou, it also means that the other five smaller ships are even more dangerous and may even be wiped out. When I think that only one of them is left, Captain Jiang could not help but show a look of despair.
Fortunately, at this moment, Li Fangyuan above suddenly shouted happily: "Captain, a ship was found on the back of the right. It should be the shape of the Jiuzhou!"
When Captain Jiang heard that the Jiuzhou was fine, he was also excited. Then he ran to the stern, took out the telescope from his arms and looked at the right rear. Sure enough, he saw the mast of the Jiuzhou, and then the entire hull appeared little by little from the sea.
"Huh~, it's really the Jiuzhou!" Captain Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. As long as the main ship is still there, the impact of the fleet will be within a controllable range.
The Kyushu also discovered the Americas and immediately greeted him with a banner. Then the two ships gathered together, and Captain Jiang also handed over the fished corpse to the other party. Through communication, he realized that two people had been lost on the Kyushu. Now, thanks to them finding one corpse, as for the other person's corpse, it is estimated that it is impossible to find it again.
The Jiuzhou also got separated from other ships. They didn't know the location of the other ships, so they could only wait patiently. However, until dark, they had not seen the other five ships, which made the people on the two ships even more worried. After all, these five ships were smaller sea ships and their wind and wave resistance were also poor. If something happened, it would be bad.
Fortunately, the fleet had a plan to deal with it. When it was completely dark, they immediately fired a signal flare into the sky. It was actually a large firework, which was very conspicuous in the night sky.
