Chapter 214 Crisis Is Coming

Zhang Heng and Annie have already led people to search half of the island, but have not found Harry's whereabouts.

"Why haven't I noticed that guy can run so well before?" Annie was a little surprised by the result. It stands to reason that the farther away from the beach, the smaller the chance of finding someone, because most people would not run so far.

"It seems that he is really lost." After hearing what happened, Quartermaster Dufresne also took the initiative to join the search team. Now there is a distance of about two meters between everyone, while walking While calling Harry's name, but to no avail.

Just then, a sailor on the left side of the team made a discovery.

Zhang Heng and others walked over and saw a wooden barrel and two wine bottles.

"Is this left by the people at the observation point?"

Zhang Heng opened the lid of the wooden barrel with his saber and took a look, "In order to monitor the movement of the Spanish treasure ship, three observation points were set up on the island, but as far as I know, none of them are in this area."

"That's what Ball's men left when they hunted in the afternoon."

The person who spoke this time was Dufresne, "Bauer hunted on the west side of the island, where the wild goats are, and they don't bring buckets directly." Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, the Quartermaster shrugged. Shrugging, "I specifically asked their people about this at night. If possible, I would like to roast a few lambs and take them on board when I leave."

"Then it seems that these things were left by the people who came to the island before." Annie said.

Although Parrot Island is uninhabited, it is an island recorded on nautical charts after all, so it is not unreasonable that there are traces of human activities on it.

Zhang Heng was noncommittal. He dipped some water with his little finger and put it into his mouth for a sip. "The fresh water here is very clean and drinkable. It didn't come from a long time ago." After that, he squatted down again and checked the two wine bottle.

"Are you saying there's anyone else on the island besides us?"

"This is impossible." Dufresne said decisively, "We did a comprehensive search after arriving on the island, and there is indeed no one else here except us."

"Then how do you explain this bucket of fresh water?"

"Maybe someone just left before we went to the island..." Dufresne hesitated mid-sentence, because if that was the case, these things should have been discovered during the previous comprehensive search.

"They are our people." Zhang Heng said, and he handed one of the wine bottles to the red-haired girl.

"The rum we drink is usually produced by a distillery in North Carolina and shipped to Nassau for sale. Their bottles are very special. Although the wine from that distillery is also sold to other parts of the colony, it happens to be here. The probability of encountering it is very small.”

"Wait a minute, why are our people here?" The red-haired girl asked in confusion, "Is it Captain Sam's arrangement?"

"It's unlikely. The location here is not very good. The most important thing is that it is not on the route of the Spanish treasure ship. It is a complete waste to set up an observation point here. And the most important thing is that if he did it, there is no reason not to tell him. other people."

Zhang Heng paused, "Everyone had better be careful, something might happen on the island."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the trees in the distance. Zhang Heng immediately pulled out the short musket from his waist, and Anne also pulled out her saber.

After a while, a figure stumbled out from behind the tree. Almost at the same moment, the red-haired girl rushed over, but the saber in her hand stopped in mid-air after drawing an arc.

"Harry?"

"Boss Annie!" The latter looked extremely embarrassed. He was soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He was still limping, covering the wound on his arm with one hand. But after seeing Zhang Heng and others, he seemed very excited and shouted, "I have something important to tell you!!!"

"Is it important? Why don't you first tell me how you ended up like this." The red-haired girl said.

"This is really an urgent matter!" Harry said anxiously, "We have actually been betrayed. Jarvis and his henchmen accepted the amnesty. They were no longer pirates a few months ago. The reason why they are still here is Nassau because he made an agreement with the new governor of Charleston to help the latter capture Nassau’s famous pirates!”

"Jarvis, Gunpowder Jarvis?" Dufresne frowned, "Are you sure you want to charge him? He is a very senior pirate on the island, even before Blackbeard came to the island."

Harry nodded, "I heard this with my own ears. I was lazy... oh no, I ran here when I had diarrhea. There was a cliff not far away. Jarvis' people secretly took it while everyone was not paying attention. A small boat was hidden underneath. I saw the small boat leaving with my own eyes. I wanted to try to see if I could see the people on it clearly, but just then someone pushed me from behind and I fell off. Go down."

Harry was still a little shocked when he said this, "There were all rocks under that cliff, but I was very lucky. I fell into the gap between two rocks and was not seriously injured. However, I didn't dare to go ashore after that and swam to one." Hidden behind the rocks.

"After a while, the people who pushed me down also came down. They searched the place but couldn't find me. They probably thought I was dead, so they relaxed their vigilance, and they happened to be standing right where I was hiding. Near the rocks, I heard their conversation.

"One of them said that he originally thought he would stay in Nassau for a while, but this time it saves trouble. Now almost all the most famous pirates in Nassau are on this island. As long as we can catch them all, we can complete the task ahead of schedule. .I heard them say that the new governor of Charleston would not only pardon all their previous crimes, but also pay them twenty pounds each as severance pay. They had been planning for a long time and would arrange our trip before leaving port. The information was leaked."

Harry was very anxious and spoke faster and faster, "Right behind us, there is a fleet of navy and pirate hunters following us quietly. The purpose of that small boat is to contact them. This dinner is actually organized by Jia. Weiss’s idea was to create an opportunity for that fleet to take action.”

Zhang Heng's heart moved, and he thought of the incident that Manfan Brook mentioned to him before. He was targeted by a group of unknown people during a robbery. Brook thought that the other party was a pirate from other places, but now it seems That group of people is probably the pirate hunters working with Jarvis.
