Only in this way can we explain why cargo ships would appear at fishing docks, drifting aimlessly without any power, and encroaching on his shipping lanes without giving way.

If he hadn't managed to avoid it in time and deviated from his course, the Donglai would probably have collided with that cargo ship.

After thinking it over carefully, Feng Ye became increasingly convinced that his guess might actually come true.

He immediately turned the Donglai around 180 degrees and followed the cargo ship.

There's something exciting to see, don't miss it.

This left Ah-chan and the crew, who were cursing and swearing at the cargo ship on deck, stunned.

They couldn't see from the deck that there was no one on the cargo ship, and they had no idea that it was a ghost ship.

Furthermore, ship collisions do occur occasionally, mostly due to negligence.

Therefore, they didn't think much of it and didn't take the cargo ship's presence here and its encroachment on the shipping lane seriously, assuming it was just the cargo ship driver's negligence.

But now that Feng Ye has suddenly turned back, they are all very puzzled.

"What are you doing? Why did you turn back?"

"What's going on? Why did you turn around?"

"Is Ah Ye going to follow them and confront them?"

"It can't be that boring..."

As everyone was discussing and speculating in surprise, they suddenly widened their eyes.

"Holy crap, we've collided with another ship..."

"There's been a collision! A cargo ship has collided with a fishing boat."

"My God, this is a huge problem..."

Amidst gasps of alarm, the cargo ship crashed straight into a small fishing boat, about fifteen or sixteen meters long, that was leaving port.

The enormous impact caused the fishing boat to be severely deformed instantly, emitting a chilling creaking sound.

The people on the fishing boat panicked and jumped into the sea to escape, causing chaos on the sea.

This is a cargo ship fully loaded with goods, and only the captain, whose whereabouts are unknown, knows its weight.

Although it has lost its power and is drifting slowly, its inertia is enormous, far beyond what a fishing boat can easily withstand.

After the collision, the cargo ship did not stop, but continued to drift forward, pushing the small fishing boat, and then collided with another large fishing boat that had not yet reacted.

The fishing boat behind was a large fishing boat that was nearly 40 meters long. The hull was sturdy, so there wasn't much of a problem, except that the steel plates of the hull were dented.

But the small fishing boat caught in the middle was in a terrible predicament. It was squeezed between the cargo ship and the large fishing boat, its hull almost broke apart, and seawater rushed in rapidly, and it looked like it was about to sink.

Fortunately, the cargo ship finally stopped at this point and did not continue drifting towards the dock; otherwise, the disaster would have been even greater.

Although it was midday, there were quite a few small fishing boats docked at the pier, all returning from the morning market and not going out to sea again until the afternoon.

The people on the dock, as well as the fishing boats that were going out to sea, were all shocked by the sudden impact.

Screams and cries for help rose and fell in an instant.

On the Donglai, Feng Ye and the others were also stunned, their hearts pounding like drums.

It took Feng Ye a while to realize what was happening, and he quickly steered the boat closer.

At the same time, he shouted to everyone on deck, "Prepare to rescue people!"

Ah-chan and his men acted quickly, taking ropes from the cabin and crowding to the side of the boat, ready to throw them to the fishermen who had fallen into the water.

However, their preparations were unnecessary; they didn't need to take action.

Before the Donglai could even get close, a small fishing boat that had just left the port arrived first and quickly rescued the fishermen who had fallen into the water.

It's good that the person was rescued.

Feng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, stopped the boat, and went to the platform outside the helm to watch the excitement.

"Two boats collided at once, and one of them was even smashed to pieces. This is going to be interesting."

"I wonder if a fight will break out?"

"It's hard to say. Some fishermen have bad tempers and might actually resort to violence."

"Well, this matter can be big or small, depending on how the compensation is negotiated and whether we can reach an agreement."

"Is the captain of that cargo ship crazy? How could a ship collide with another ship in such a wide sea? I've never seen anything like it in my life."

"Yes, it almost hit us, but luckily Ah Ye was alert and avoided it in time."

"Damn it, I really want to go up there and beat them up..."

Listening to the chatter on the deck below, Feng Ye interjected, "Did you find that the cargo ship has no power and is just drifting with the current? There's no one on board at all..."

"Huh? There's no one on the cargo ship. We didn't know that."

"What do you mean there's no one here? How could there be no one here?"

"Holy crap, is this a ghost ship?"

"What, a ghost ship? Don't scare people in broad daylight..."

"What ghost ship? You're just scaring yourselves. There's no such thing as a ghost ship. It's just something that looks scary. In reality, it's just a ship that's been abandoned after an accident and is now adrift at sea."

Feng Ye continued, "This cargo ship probably drifted here because something happened to the people on board."

Think about it, under normal circumstances, why would a cargo ship end up at a fishing port, drifting aimlessly? Shouldn't it be heading to a cargo port?

"Wow, I didn't even realize it until you said so."

"Me too, I was so busy cursing the cargo ship that I didn't notice these details. Thinking about it now, it's really strange."

"Maybe something really did happen, and everyone on board might have perished..."

After listening to Feng Ye's analysis, everyone felt it made sense, and their anger and complaints about the cargo ship disappeared instantly.

"Judging from the appearance of this cargo ship, it doesn't seem to have been adrift for a long time. It's probably something that happened recently and was blown here by the wind and waves."

At this point, Feng Ye couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, I don't know what happened, but the whole ship of people has disappeared without a trace."

At this moment, a crowd of onlookers stood on the dock, craning their necks to look in this direction and discussing among themselves.

Some fishermen even sailed out to watch the spectacle and deliberately stopped near the cargo ship.

Some fishing boats that were preparing to go out to sea stopped and were no longer in a hurry to set sail.

There's something exciting to see, and nobody wants to miss it.

Feng Ye wasn't in a hurry, anyway, there was nothing to do back home, so it didn't matter whether he went back sooner or later.

He was quite curious about how this matter would be handled and wanted to see the outcome.

The captains and crew of the two ships that were hit were cursing loudly at the cargo ship.

The captain of the small fishing boat, in particular, was so angry that he was practically fuming and hurled especially nasty insults.

While standing on the fishing boat that rescued him, he was swearing and jumping around, waving his arms as if he was about to rush up and smash the cargo ship to pieces.

Even from a distance, the Donglai could be heard clearly.

However, no matter how much they cursed, there was no response from the cargo ship.

This infuriated and enraged them even more.

None of them realized the strangeness of the cargo ship.
