People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Soon, Chen Ziyan saw the appearance of the ship clearly.

Just as he had guessed before, it was a standard ocean-going fishing boat.

The reason why they had to get closer to see clearly was because this ship only had lights on in the cabin, and did not turn on all the searchlights around the hull like they did.

And then Chen Ziyan discovered that the engine of the fishing boat in front of him was not started, it was just parked there.

This behavior made him very suspicious that this was the mastermind behind the secret attack on them.

After asking Ruan Hei to stop the boat temporarily, Chen Ziyan walked to the edge of the deck with a telescope and looked at the fishing boat not far away.

Because there was a light in the cabin of the fishing boat, he wanted to see if he could see what was going on inside through the window.

Of course, Chen Ziyan didn't intend to spy secretly.

As long as the people on the opposite boat were not blind, they might have noticed their arrival, after all, they had turned on all the lights on the boat.

What he really wanted to see was the other party's reaction to his arrival.

The most important thing is to see whether there are cannons on the enemy ship.

In a sea encounter, unless it is a boarding battle, firearms play a limited role, and it is the cannon that can truly determine the outcome.

After the last trip to the underwater tomb, Chen Ziyan’s first thought when he saw other ships was whether there were cannons hidden on them.

He knew that there were few people like him who openly fixed guns on the deck.

In fact, after knowing that he had bought the Hailiu boat, Ruan Hei once suggested to him whether he should dismantle the Jinpilu Water God Cannon or modify it into a movable one.

Otherwise, the ship would basically never see the light of day.

You have to know that even on Coral Temple Island, no one dared to install cannons directly on their own ships, which is why the Hailiu boats were always thrown deep in the water cave, otherwise they would have been dismantled long ago.

Chen Ziyan also understood this. It was only in a place like Coral Temple Island. If it was the dock where he went out to sea last time, he would have been put in jail as soon as this gun showed up.

After observing carefully for a while, Chen Ziyan put down the telescope. He didn't find anything, let alone any unusual movements.

The fishing boat not far away gave him the feeling that there was no one on it. If it weren't for the scream that just came from here, he might have mistakenly thought that there was really no one on the boat.

"Master Chen, what's the situation now?" Hu Bayi was on the other side and couldn't see the situation here. After seeing no movement for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

"Old Hu, come and take a look." Chen Ziyan did not answer, but called him over.

The surrounding situation is basically safe now. If the previous self-igniting paper boat was really caused by the fishing boat in front of us, then there is no need to be on guard anymore.

Hu Bayi knew that since Chen Ziyan said so, he must be sure of it, so he didn't refuse and walked over directly.

"Is this the mastermind behind this?"

When he saw the fishing boat, he immediately looked at Chen Ziyan.

Through the previous screams and Chen Ziyan's reaction, he had guessed something. When he saw a ship appear, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Most likely, but it's a bit strange." Chen Ziyan nodded, then handed the telescope to Hu Bayi.

Strange?
Hu Bayi was puzzled, but did not ask immediately. Instead, he picked up the telescope and started observing.

After a moment, he put down the telescope, frowned and said:
"It's so quiet."

He felt the same as Chen Ziyan, that the ship was too quiet. If the purpose was simply to confuse people, it shouldn't be done to this extent.

Because the other party is now in this state, they have almost handed over the initiative. What's the difference between this and surrender?

"Could there be an accident with the people on the boat?"

At this time, Shirley Yang suddenly said. Although she didn't have a telescope and couldn't see it clearly, she could basically hear the specific situation from the conversation between Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi.

Thinking of the scream that had pointed the way earlier, she suddenly had this idea.

"It is certain that we encountered an accident, but the question is what their current situation is. Did they deliberately lure us over there?" said Chen Ziyan.

Shirley Yang had also thought about this idea, but he was afraid that this was a trap set by the other party. After all, they were the ones who had the advantage now, but if they got close to the other party or even got on the boat, their advantage would be wiped out.

After all, if there are our own people on the boat, we certainly can’t fire anymore.

"It is indeed possible." Shirley Yang is also a person with military training, so she naturally knows that Chen Ziyan's concerns are not unreasonable.

They now have an absolute advantage, and this advantage must not be given up easily.

"How about we just stay in this stalemate and compete with the other party in patience?" Hu Bayi thought about it and came up with this idea.

He felt that the initiative he currently held could not be easily given up.

"How about we just try firing directly?" Chen Ziyan also made a suggestion.

He thought about what happened when he came back from the underwater tomb. If he had not acted decisively at that time, things would not have been so smooth afterwards.

Anyway, it is now basically certain that it was this ship that attacked them, so there is no need to talk about humanitarianism anymore.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Shirley Yang rejected this suggestion: "No, our top priority is to find out why the other party wants to kill us. It is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Maybe they have other ships. We can't just give up on the clues."

She didn't want to give up just like that.

Admittedly, doing so might force out those who are hiding.

But that is under the premise that there is only one ship. If the other party has accomplices, the people hiding on the ship will most likely abandon the ship and leave after seeing that the situation is hopeless.

Since they are here, they are definitely not here to fish. Whether they are here for exploration or egg collection, they need diving equipment.

If the other party has accomplices nearby, they can use diving equipment to leave quietly. The fog around them is the best cover.

In that situation, even Chen Ziyan's hearing might not be able to tell what caused the sound of falling into the water.

"If we want to find out what's going on, we have to go up and take a look." Chen Ziyan was not surprised by Shirley Yang's opposition.

Because he had also thought of this possibility, but he just wanted to take a gamble.

After the Trident became a ghost ship, he felt extremely confident at sea. With his elite soldiers and generals by his side, he was not afraid of any conspiracy or intrigue.

"Go up and take a look?" Hearing this, Shirley Yang hesitated. She also knew that going up to check now would involve taking a huge risk.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I'll go."

Since I proposed it myself, I can't let others take the risk for it.

"I can't leave you here."

But this time it was Chen Ziyan's turn to veto. He said, "I'll take Wushuang and Huahu with me."

He originally wanted to bring Wang Kaixuan with him because Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang needed to guard the Water God Cannon here to prevent any unexpected situations.

However, his puppet armor was not good at performing reconnaissance missions, so the best choice was Wang Kaixuan, but he gave up the idea after thinking about it.

Because when Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang are unable to move, someone is needed to coordinate the overall situation, which is definitely not something Puppet Armor can do.

Therefore, if he wanted to bring people with him, the only option left was Puppet Armor.

As for Huo Ling, Chen Wenjin and others, they were not even considered by Chen Ziyan. (End of this chapter)
