Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!
Chapter 117 It seems like beachcombing is out of the question, but we can pump out the water from th
Ghost's Sorrow is a notoriously dangerous place in this sea area.
The area is riddled with reefs and has complex currents, so even experienced fishermen would avoid it, let alone cast nets for fishing.
Wu Sui patted his older brother on the shoulder and lowered his voice.
"Brother, it's alright. We won't go deep into that reef area; we'll just take a stroll around the perimeter."
"Didn't Chen Fugui and the others want to come along? I'll take them for a stroll."
"We are steel ships, and they are iron-clad wood ships. They will definitely be the ones who suffer losses."
After listening, Wu Gang swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and looked at Wu Sui's confident expression.
"Okay, whatever you say. It's already scratched, so we can just pay to fix it."
"Damn it, following me around in the village is one thing, but following me out to sea is just too inconsiderate."
Wu Gang jerked the rudder, and the fishing boat drew a white arc on the sea, deviating from its original course and heading at full speed towards Guijianchou.
Chen Yang watched as the two lights behind him also turned, and a sense of tension rose in his heart.
"Brother-in-law, they really caught up."
Wu Sui leaned against the gunwale and lit a cigarette, the flame flickering on and off.
"Go ahead and follow along. They'll be crying later."
Half an hour later, the waves on the sea became noticeably larger.
The fishing boat began to rock violently, and the waves crashed against its hull with a dull thud.
Not far ahead, a dark mass of reefs loomed in and out of sight amidst the waves, resembling a gigantic beast with its jaws wide open.
Wu Gang was completely focused in the cockpit, gripping the helm with both hands and carefully maneuvering the fishing boat.
The two ships behind them clearly also noticed something was wrong.
On Chen Fugui's boat, a crew member was gripping the cabin door, his face pale.
"Brother Fugui, it looks like Ghost's Sorrow ahead. Did the second son of the Wu family take the wrong path?"
Chen Fugui stood in front of the steering wheel, his face grim.
"Wrong turn my ass! He's trying to shake us off!"
"Brother Fugui, should we still follow? This place is really weird, and our boat is flimsy. What if we run into a reef..."
Chen Fugui gritted his teeth, staring at the fishing boat in front of him that was steadily navigating the edge of the reef.
"If Wu Lao Er dares to go in, why shouldn't I? If he can operate it inside, it means there's a safe waterway!"
"We have to get to the bottom of this today. I want to see where he got his 20,000 yuan in one night from some shady business."
"Step on the gas, and get close!"
The two ships, one after the other, gritted their teeth and charged into the outer perimeter of Guijianchou.
Wu Sui turned on the system radar, and sure enough, it was just like the last time in the mangrove forest.
This arena can not only be used to search for fish, but also to indirectly detect the terrain.
This rocky area is continuous, with almost no gaps.
It was impossible to walk in the pitch black, and we didn't dare to try even if there were a few scattered lights. We could only direct Wu Gang to drive along the areas with more lights.
Chen Yang lay on the stern, watching the ship's lights getting closer and closer, his palms sweating profusely.
"Brother-in-law, they've caught up, they're less than fifty meters away from us."
Wu Sui flicked the cigarette butt into the sea and sneered.
"Fifty meters? Perfect."
He strode to the cockpit.
"Hey bro, see that big rock over there?"
"I saw it!"
"Go around the right side of the reef, and immediately slow down and turn off the searchlights after you pass the reef."
Without saying a word, Wu Gang jerked the steering wheel, and the fishing boat almost slid past the edge of the reef.
As soon as they rounded the bend, Wu Gang pulled the throttle and simultaneously slammed off the searchlights on the boat.
The entire fishing boat instantly disappeared into the boundless darkness, its speed plummeting.
Chen Fugui, standing behind, was intently watching the ship's lights ahead.
Suddenly, the lights in front disappeared.
Chen Fugui panicked and instinctively tried to slow down.
But just then, by the faint moonlight, he suddenly saw a huge black reef less than ten meters ahead crashing into him.
"Hard to port! Quickly!"
Chen Fugui roared angrily and desperately tried to turn the steering wheel.
But the distance was too close and the speed too fast; it was too late for anything.
"Bang!"
A loud bang exploded on the sea surface, accompanied by the creaking sound of steel tearing apart.
Chen Fugui was thrown out by the enormous inertia and slammed heavily onto the control panel.
The squid fishing boat following behind, due to obstructed visibility and insufficient reaction time, crashed head-on into the stern of Chen Fugui's boat!
"boom!"
The two ships collided solidly in the treacherous reef area, their shouts and cries for help echoing through the night.
Wu Sui's boat was moored in a safe area of water a hundred meters away.
Chen Yang stared dumbfounded at the farce unfolding in the distance, speechless for a long time.
"Sister...brother-in-law, they crashed."
Wu Sui patted the dust off his hands, his tone indifferent.
"Greed knows no bounds; like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. You don't have the skills, but you insist on doing a job you can't handle."
"Brother, turn on the lights, let's go to the cliff and reef area to set the net."
Wu Gang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and restarted the fishing boat.
The fishing boat turned on its searchlights and sailed smoothly out of Guijianchou, leaving the chaos far behind.
More than an hour later, the fishing boat successfully arrived at the cliff and reef area.
"Xiao Yang, get ready to drop the hook."
At Wu Sui's command, the three began to work together skillfully.
Bait, release the line, and cast the hook.
Four sets of longline fishing rods sank neatly into the water.
By the time they finished playing everything, it was already past 1 a.m.
Wu Gang was panting heavily from exhaustion and leaned against the cockpit door.
"Second brother, all two thousand hooks are in the water. When are we going to collect them?"
"It will take at least four hours." Wu Sui glanced at his watch. "Now is the perfect time to go beachcombing on the island, just in time for the tide to recede."
The fishing boat started up again and headed towards the other side of the island.
Half an hour later, the fishing boat anchored and came to a stop on the mudflats east of the island.
The tide had receded most of the way, revealing large areas of wet mud and scattered rocks.
The three of them disembarked from the boat carrying buckets and tools.
With his feet on the soft mudflats, Chen Yang looked around excitedly.
"Brother-in-law, what are we catching today?"
Wu Sui didn't rush to answer, but instead closed his eyes and quietly activated the system radar.
An invisible ripple spread outwards from him in all directions.
On the radar interface in my mind, countless dots of light began to flash.
Ordinary white dots were everywhere, but I filtered them out and focused my attention on the edge of the radar, an area near the reef.
There, several green dots of light were quietly lying dormant.
"Let's go to that rocky area over there."
"But brother-in-law, the rocks over there are too steep, it's hard to walk on them," Chen Yang said hesitantly.
"Good things are found when the path is difficult; follow me."
The three of them waded through the mudflats, making their way to the rocky area on the other side.
The terrain here is indeed unfriendly, with black volcanic rocks piercing the sky like knives, and waves constantly crashing against the rock walls at the bottom.
Following the radar's guidance, Wu Sui climbed onto a huge reef.
He peeked out and shone the beam of his flashlight down, revealing more than a dozen puddles of varying sizes.
As the tide recedes, splashes of water can be seen constantly in these pits.
Looks like there's no chance of beachcombing tonight, but we can pump out some water from the pit!
