Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

The fishing boat sped eastward, cutting through the calm sea.

Everyone pressed themselves against the ship's side, craning their necks to look ahead.

Chen Yang's face turned red with excitement, and he shouted at Wang Dazhu next to him.

"Brother Dazhu, where do you think this old turtle is leading us? Is it towards the big school of fish up ahead?"

Wang Dazhu grinned broadly, "Yesterday, with that whale leading the way, we harvested over six tons of black cattle!"

"This sea turtle is so big today, and it even brought its whole family to see Brother Sui. The school of fish must be huge!"

"If we cast the net too deep, our ship might not be able to hold it all."

Chen Yongqiang chimed in from the side: "If only we could encounter something like this every day, and then haul the cargo home in one fell swoop."

The crowd grew more and more excited as they talked, their eyes fixed on the hawksbill turtle in front of them, wishing they could throw their fishing nets into the sea right now.

Wu Sui leaned against the side of the cabin and lit a cigarette.

Listening to everyone's discussion, I felt a strong urge to join in.

This radar system is very useful, but it's the first time I've encountered something so bizarre—sea creatures actively leading the way.

Yesterday it was a baby sperm whale, today it's a hawksbill turtle.

Could it be that I've really become a relative of the Sea God?

Wu Sui flicked his cigarette ash and shouted into the driver's seat.

"Brother Lei, drive carefully, don't follow too closely and crash into it."

"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it."

Wu Lei responded from the driver's seat.

Time passed second by second.

The fishing boat followed the hawksbill turtle, sailing at sea for more than two hours.

The surrounding sea became increasingly empty, and not a single other fishing boat could be seen.

In the driver's seat, Wu Lei frowned.

He glanced at the sea ahead, then looked down at the nautical chart and radar in front of him.

He gestured a couple of times on the nautical chart with his fingers, and his expression changed instantly.

Holy crap!

Wu Lei cursed under his breath and slammed on the gas.

The roar of the engine quickly subsided, and the fishing boat slowed down, gliding across the sea.

The people on the deck, who were chatting enthusiastically, were stunned.

Wu Gang turned and shouted into the driver's seat, "Lei, why did you slow down? That sea turtle is still swimming forward, don't lose it."

Wu Lei, covered in sweat, crawled out of the driver's seat and rushed over to Wu Sui.

"Ah Sui, we can't go any further."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the boat?"

"It's not a problem with the ship." Wu Lei pulled him into the bridge and pointed to the nautical chart. "The course is wrong."

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.

Wu Lei swallowed hard and pointed due east.

"We followed this sea turtle for over two hours. Ahead lies the waters of Taiwan Province; if we keep going, we'll cross the border!"

These words immediately created an awkward atmosphere on the deck.

Chen Yang, who had just been flushed with excitement, suddenly turned pale.

Wang Dazhu also gasped.

Fishermen who make a living at sea, who doesn't know the consequences of crossing the line?

The situation is sensitive right now; the patrol boats on the other side are like mad dogs, circling the border every day.

If we really run into them, forget about fishing; the whole boat will be impounded.

Who knows, the person might be arrested and detained for ten days to half a month, facing a huge fine.

Wu Gang was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh.

"Oh dear, that won't do!"

"Ah Sui, turn around quickly, or we'll be in big trouble if we get caught."

Chen Yongqiang also chimed in, "Brother Sui, let's forget about it. No matter how many fish we catch, our lives are more important. We can try casting our nets somewhere else."

Everyone was saying their piece, and they were all having second thoughts.

The excitement of catching a big fish had long been washed away by fear.

Wu Sui didn't speak. He glanced at the nautical chart and then at the coordinates on the radar.

Indeed, we are less than two nautical miles from the so-called "boundary line".

Wu Lei followed behind, wringing his hands anxiously.

"Ah Sui, listen to your brother's advice, turn around quickly, let's not make this money."

Wu Sui raised his head and looked at the hawksbill turtle that was still swimming tirelessly forward.

He suddenly laughed out loud and turned to look at the crowd crammed into the driver's seat.

"Turn around? Turn around for what?"

Wu Sui raised the volume, making the sound exceptionally loud in the driver's cab.

"Taiwan is part of our country, so what's the point of drawing lines in these waters!"

"We're just strolling around our own yard, why would we be afraid he'll bite us?"

Upon hearing this, everyone on the ship was stunned.

Wu Lei opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up as he realized what was happening.

"That's right, it's all in our own waters, why can't we enter?"

The others looked at each other in bewilderment.

That's true, but... it's absolutely right.

Wu Sui looked at Wu Lei and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Lei, keep following the hawksbill turtle, what are you afraid of?"

Wu Lei gritted his teeth as he looked at Wu Sui's fearless attitude.

"Fine, let them die. At worst, we'll just turn around and run. What are they going to do then?"

The fishing boat roared and accelerated again, chasing after the hawksbill turtle.

Although Wu Sui's words were very domineering, everyone's hearts were still in their throats when they actually reached the border.

The fishing boats braved the pressure and cleaved through the waves on the sea.

Chen Yang, Wang Dazhu, and the others stared wide-eyed at the distant horizon, as if afraid a patrol boat might suddenly appear from there.

Wu Gang was so anxious that he paced back and forth on the deck, constantly chanting "May Mazu bless us."

We drove on for another ten minutes or so.

The hawksbill turtle leading the way suddenly stopped.

It circled once on the surface of the sea, then floated quietly on the water, no longer swimming forward.

"Ah Sui, it's stopped," Wu Lei shouted from the driver's seat.

Wu Sui waved his hand: "Stop the boat!"

The fishing boat gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop less than 20 meters away from the hawksbill turtle.

Here, we're almost at that so-called boundary line.

A sea breeze blew by, and all around was quiet except for the low rumble of the fishing boat's engine.

Everyone held their breath, watching Wu Sui with bated breath.

Wu Gang rubbed his hands together and stepped forward.

"Ah Sui, we've arrived. Want to log off?"

Wu Sui took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Having traveled this far and risked having their boat seized, the harvest here must be substantial!

He closed his eyes and activated the system in his mind.

"Activate radar!"

The blue grid spread rapidly, scanning the sea area within a 500-meter radius around the fishing boat.

Wu Sui stared at the screen with anticipation.

If you can't have golden sparkles, some blue ones would be fine too.

More than ten seconds passed, and the screen remained empty except for a few scattered green dots!

There was no gold, no blue, not even a school of fish.

Wu Sui rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misread it.

He turned the system radar off and on again, but the result was the same.

There were no so-called "large schools of fish" down there, not even ordinary small schools of fish.

This sea area is as clean as a freshly washed plate.
