Three hundred and fiftieth eight chapters a coconut
On the sea in front of the right, something that was rising and falling with the sea water attracted Li Fangyuan's attention. Perhaps in others' eyes, it was normal to have floating objects on the sea, but Li Fangyuan, who was a lookout, knew that in the sea far away from the land, he rarely saw such floating objects. Sometimes he could not see one for several days.
In this case, Li Fangyuan was also very concerned about the floating object. As the distance between the two sides approached, he quickly saw the floating object clearly, which made him suddenly shocked and immediately shouted down with the greatest strength: "A coconut was found on the sea in front of the right!"
When everyone on the deck heard Li Fangyuan's words, he was shocked. Of course, a coconut could not save his life, but having coconuts on the sea means that there may be islands nearby, and having islands may have water. This is undoubtedly great news for all crew members.
Captain Jiang also jumped up at this time, immediately ordered people to speed up, then put down the fishing net and fished the coconut. When he saw this coconut, everyone was even more excited and trembling all over, because the coconut was very fresh and the skin was green, which means that it had not been floating on the sea for a long time, and the island was likely to be nearby.
"Transfer to all ships, there may be islands nearby. Call on other captains to discuss!" Captain Jiang immediately ordered.
Li Fangyuan immediately gave the flag to other ships. The other ships that received the news were also full of joy. Then they quickly approached. Then several captains boarded the Americas on the boat. When they saw the fresh coconuts on the deck, the captains were crying with joy. In their eyes, this fresh coconut represented their survival.
Captain Jiang and his team quickly decided on a search plan. Because the fleet's ships were damaged, most of the ships were no longer suitable to act alone, so two medium-sized ships formed a team, while the Kyushu carried another medium-sized ship. The Americas, which had the best performance, could only act alone. They agreed that after finding the island, they would send signals, and then they immediately took action separately. The three teams divided into three directions to find the island.
Captain Jiang and his team searched for the southeast direction, because judging from the direction of the ocean current drifting from the coconut, the island is likely to be in the southeast. Of course, this is not absolute, because the nearby ocean currents are relatively chaotic, and the coconuts may drift around with the ocean currents, and the southeast direction is just a high possibility.
It is precisely because of this that the Americans also searched with great hope, but as time went on, there was still nothing on the sea. Li Fangyuan on the observation deck was almost blind, but he still found nothing, which made the morale of the crew slowly lower.
Soon the sky became darker, and the Americas, which had been searching for most of the day, still found nothing. Everyone showed a depressed look. After all, it was already dark, and even if there were islands nearby, they could not see them at all.

However, Captain Jiang has not given up yet. If it really doesn't work, he can only wait for tomorrow. After all, although the island of the coconut is nearby, the sea is too vast. It may take them several days to find this nearby.
However, at this moment, a ball of light suddenly burst out from the high altitude in the distance, which shocked everyone, because it was obviously someone was launching a signal flare. According to their agreement, as long as the island is found, it will send signals to other people, which also means that someone has found the island.
"The direction should be Jiuzhou and the others, Captain, we are saved!" Li Fangyuan on the observation deck also shouted at the bottom happily. At this time, his voice was already hoarse, and every time he said something, he felt his throat as if it was sanded.
Captain Jiang was also so excited that his whole body was trembling. He didn't need his orders at all. The helmsman immediately turned the bow of the ship and drove towards the direction of sending the signal. The crew members also took action. As long as they had a little strength, even if they climbed, they would climb to their posts and try to speed up the ship so that they could reach the island earlier.
Jiuzhou launched a signal flare every other hour to allow America and the others to correct the direction. After all, the sky was completely dark, and the weather today was not good, and there was no stars in the sky, so the direction could not be judged at all, so this method could only be used.
When searching during the day, all ships were not fast, so the Kyushu was not too far from the Americas. After driving for nearly a night, when the sky in the east turned slightly white, Li Fangyuan on the Americas finally saw the Kyushu, and behind the Kyushu was a dark island.
Seeing this, the Americas immediately stepped forward to meet with the Kyushu. Then the two ships went in parallel. Captain Jiang stood on the deck and saw Wang Meng opposite him. He immediately shouted: "Brother Wang, how is the situation on the island? Is there Tamsui?"
"It should be, but yesterday when we found the island, it was dark and there were reefs around. The big ship did not dare to approach, so we could only send a few small boats. Although we didn't find water, we found animals on the island!" Wang Meng, opposite, also replied excitedly.
The island has animals, which means water sources. After all, both humans and animals need to replenish fresh water, which also made the Americas cheer again, and even those who were lying in the cabin powerless due to lack of water crawled out.
It was already bright at this time, and the Americas immediately sent a boat to find a waterway to avoid the reefs, and then went to the shore of the island with the Kyushu one after another. Then the people on the two boats began to land on the island. When they stepped onto the soft beach, some people started crying because they were too excited, but apart from the hoarse sound, these people couldn't even shed tears.
It was easy to do things, Captain Jiang and Wang Meng immediately dispatched teams and began to search for the islands. They had to find Danshui as soon as possible. After all, the long-term lack of water has caused many people to fall ill. After some ships even got ashore, they simply grabbed the leaves and stuffed them into their mouths, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not. After all, a few drops of water could be squeezed out of the leaves of grass.
All the people who could move started to search for fresh water around the island. Soon, good news came. Someone found a stream on the other side of the island. Although it was not very large, it was enough to make everyone crazy. Many people rushed to the edge of the stream as quickly as possible, and then lay on the water to drink. In the end, Captain Jiang drank these people. After all, experienced people know that drinking a lot of water suddenly under extreme thirst may lead to death faster.
