Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Under the bright sunshine, Yang Bai arrived at the port and gathered everyone together.

"The two wooden boats are going to another part of the sea today, and the task of catching eels will be handled by the three steel boats."

These words sparked some gossip within the team.

Zhao Li asked, "Captain Yang, if we don't go, how can we cooperate with Captain Zhang's work?"

Yang Bai looked at Zhang Kang and assigned him a task.

"Your boats use longline fishing, so you can catch as many fish as you can. This time, the main fishing boats are still 60-ton vessels."

"The wooden boats cannot board the boats we need to navigate this time."

He took out a map of the sea from his pocket.

"This is the fishing spot you're going to today."

Zhao Li and the other captain took the map and nodded in unison.

They knew Yang Bai was absolutely right.

He said that wooden boats should not be approached, which most likely means that if they are, there is a very high probability that they will sink or be destroyed into pieces.

After the tasks were assigned, Yang Bai steered the boat across the sea.

Chen Dahai and Zhang Kang's boat followed closely behind, and a fleet of fishing boats left rolling white trails in their wake on the sea.

Yang Bai turned the helm and headed northwest.

He clearly remembered knowing about a reef group in his previous life, which was the favorite habitat of moray eels. Every time they went out to forage, groups of moray eels would gather together.

That area is a group of reefs ten nautical miles away, connected together like a long whip.

It would take a whole day to get around, but the islands are narrow and it only takes an hour or two to cross, though the situation is complicated.

The area is dotted with reefs, and Luanjiao Island is just one of the more distant islands at the head of the group.

The route you're going to take often has eddies where trends converge.

Therefore, Yang Bai did not let the wooden boat follow, because if it encountered a whirlpool, it would definitely be sucked apart.

Three hours later.

Liu Dade looked up and saw the island reefs stretching like a long dragon in front of him, and his eyes widened.

"Yang Bai, are you referring to the Changlong Reefs?"

Because of its long and narrow shape, fishermen at sea call it the Long Dragon Reef Group.

"Don't tell me you're going to go through it!"

Yang Bai laughed and said, "We have to go through it. If we take a detour, it will take a whole day."

Liu Dade twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling the recent ordeal at the chaotic reef island.

Now we have to cross it again.

"The situation inside is no worse than the Widow Sea. Getting lost is one thing, but if you run into a whirlpool, everything will be destroyed."

"I'm confident. You go and signal with flags to make the ships behind follow me closely."

Yang Bai continued forward.

Liu Dade gasped. No wonder he told the wooden boat not to follow; it was indeed for their safety.

"I have a question. What if there were no conger eels in the past? Wouldn't we have come all this way for nothing?"

Very few boats come to the Changlong Reef Group, and even fewer go to the other side.

Because the catch is so small, the fishermen can still tell the difference between the risks and the rewards of their past adventures.

"Absolutely. If not, I'll give you all 10,000 yuan and divide it all up."

Yang Bai made a bet.

Liu Dade nodded emphatically, "Okay, this is what you said."

As the ship entered the Changlong Reef Group, looking up, two dark, towering reefs stretched across both sides, creating a waterway wide enough for two steel ships to pass through.

Whirlpools appeared every now and then, but Yang Bai easily bypassed them.

Yang Jun had never seen such a scene before and was dumbfounded.

"It feels like a canyon. This place is amazing."

However, there was a hint of worry in Liu Dade's eyes.

"Its power is truly formidable. Just two years ago, a fleet of ships was trying to cross it."

"But then they encountered a 50-meter whirlpool, and were swept in along with their ship. The fleet has not been found since."

Yang Jun swallowed hard, his hair standing on end.

"Is it real or fake?"

A fisherman squatted on the ground smoking and nodded, saying, "What Old Liu said is true; I heard about it back then too."

"In that village, no bodies were found, so they could only bury the clothes and build graves."

Yang Jun gasped.

"Wow, Brother Yang is taking such a risk."

Liu Dade smiled. "This is your first day working with him?"

The boat meandered for an hour and a half, and the sea route became wider and wider.

After rounding a bend, the sight before them left everyone speechless.

The sea surface is densely covered with small whirlpools every ten meters or so. If a person falls in, there is absolutely no chance of survival. Ordinary small boats would never be able to get through.

Yang Jun got goosebumps looking at the scene before him.

"The shipwreck vortex has arrived."

Liu Dade slowly uttered a few words.

Passing through here does indeed lead to the other side of Changlong Island Reef, but ordinary ships dare not go there at all, as this is also where 50-meter whirlpools appear.

Generally speaking, if a ship reaches this point, it's assumed it's heading in the wrong direction.

Liu Dade ran into the cockpit and asked Yang Bai.

"Yang Bai, did you take the wrong turn? Turn back now! If there's a huge whirlpool ahead, we won't be able to escape!"

Yang Bai shook his head. "We didn't go the wrong way. We need to go through this way."

"They've gone mad, they've gone mad."

Liu Dade clenched his fist, but finally took out a cigarette and lit it.

Yang Bai glanced at Liu Dade's condition and then called Yang Jun over.

"Jun'er, make the boats behind us follow closely; we need to pass through."

Yang Bai accelerated at full speed without hesitation.

Liu Dade's cigarette trembled slightly as he held the end tightly, refusing to take a single puff.

He mentally recited the names of all eighteen deities.

The two boats behind saw the flag signals Yang Jun was using.

Everyone gasped in shock. Chen Dahai was the first to react; things had already progressed to this point, and it was too late to turn back.

He crossed the river along with the large ship.

The most uneasy person was Zhang Kang, who had only been working there for two days and was about to experience this kind of danger.

His hands were sweating as he worked.

"Damn it, Yang Bai, you've really gone mad."

He exhaled, feeling anxious and uneasy; he had never felt this way in over ten years of sailing steel ships.

The fishermen from the same village who had come with Yang Bai leaned close to Zhang Kang and spoke in a low, honest voice.

"Don't let Captain Yang's unpredictable and eccentric behavior fool you; he's genuinely capable, and following him is the right choice."

Zhang Kang pointed to the vortex ahead.

"Is this outrageous? It's utterly outrageous."

"Fine, even if I don't know the way back, I'll risk my life!"

Zhang Kang followed at full speed behind.

Yang Jun returned from the deck and said, "Brother Yang, both of your boats have caught up."

Yang Bai nodded. The shortage was 40,000 catties. They would see how things went. If things were bad, all the fish that weren't conger eels would be dumped into the sea.

Two ten-ton steel boats can carry 20,000 jin, while his boat can carry 30,000 jin.

One trip will suffice.

The three ships were navigating through small whirlpools in the waterway when, just as they were about to exit, a whirlpool twenty meters in size began to expand.

"Yang Bai, this is the prototype of a fifty-meter vortex! What do we do? Our entire team is ruined!"

The cigarette slid off Liu Dade's lips; the scene he least wanted to see had still happened.

A 50-meter vortex is about to form right before our eyes!
