The huge creature was entirely black except for a few red rings around its head, which were not very noticeable in the dark sea. On its tail, there was a spinning propeller.
Fu Wan was probably the only one in the sea who could tell that the thing was unusual. The other fish in the sea just swam over and bumped into it out of curiosity. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a strange-looking big fish.
Fu Wan watched as the thing continued to dive down until it touched the mud and sand on the seabed. Only after it landed steadily did the propeller on its tail stop spinning.
This thing looks kind of familiar!
Isn't this just like the torpedo we caught while fishing before?!
However, this thing looks much bigger than the one they pulled up during their previous salvage operation.
Tsk, it's a plus version.
Fu Wan was starting to question her life. Her luck couldn't be this bad; she had actually run into this thing again!
To make sure she wasn't mistaken, Fu Wan decided to dive down to the big guy and take a closer look.
Because the moonfish beside her had some weight, even though the big guy seemed to be very close to Fu Wan when it dived, the experienced Fu Wan knew that the thing was at least a dozen meters away from her.
Having made up her mind, she quickly tied the opening of the net in her hand, then tied the net rope to the nearby reef. As for the moonfish, she stuffed it, along with the net, into the hole in the reef.
Just in case, Fu Wan also moved a rock about the same size as the entrance to the cave and blocked it to prevent the moonfish from escaping.
After making the arrangements with Moonfish, Fu Wan swam towards the large creature on the seabed.
Sure enough, it looked very close, but she swam for almost ten minutes.
The closer you get, the bigger it looks. Unlike the torpedo we pulled up in the previous fishing operation, this one is not only much bigger, but the materials also look much more expensive.
Fu Wan went around to the back of the torpedo, and sure enough, the familiar Stars and Stripes appeared on the propeller again. But to Fu Wan's surprise and anger, damn it, there was also the Japanese flag on it.
Alright, alright, so this is Dad and his unfilial son having a team-building activity in Chinese waters, isn't it?
Looking at this behemoth that was more than twice her height, Fu Wan knew that she couldn't possibly bring it back by herself.
Moreover, this thing has just been put down, and those dogs that launched torpedoes probably haven't gone far yet; they might still be on the sea.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan felt a tightness in her heart. Her father and Fu Liang were still on the sea. Would they have a conflict?
She wanted to catch the thief red-handed and see which beast was keeping a close eye on this area of the sea every day.
So I need to hurry up there!
Fu Wan swam to the rocky cave containing the moonfish, took out the moonfish along with the net, tied the net to her back, and began to swim towards the surface.
To mark the location where the torpedo had submerged, Fu Wan swam directly towards the surface, trying not to deviate from her course.
As the sea drew closer and closer, just as Fu Wan was about to surface, she heard voices coming from the surface of the sea.
Their accent was also strange; you could tell they weren't locals.
"Fu Sang, are you sure it's safe here?"
A somewhat familiar voice rang out.
"Safe, absolutely safe. But are you sure that thing you put out can catch fish?"
The man with the strange accent was silent for a few seconds, then burst into laughter.
“Fu Sang, you’re a smart man. Whether we catch fish or not is our business.”
There's a saying among Chinese people: "Those who understand the times are heroes." Just do your job well, and that's the best thing you can do!
After she finished speaking, the person opposite her did not say anything. Fu Wan quietly looked through the sea, intending to take a quick look, but unexpectedly, her eyesight was very good, and she could see the situation on the ship on the sea clearly.
It was an ordinary iron boat, similar to the boats that the fishermen of Fujia Village usually used when they went out to sea.
There were several people on the boat. Two of them were standing by the side of the boat talking. One of them, Fu Wan, had a strange accent that she had never seen before. She was short and had a fierce face. Her appearance made her look like a bad person.
Meanwhile, Fu Wan was burning with rage.
She knew this person all too well; wasn't this Fu Qiang, the eldest son of her good second uncle?
How did he end up here, mixed up with enemy agents who were launching torpedoes?
Before Fu Wan could think further, the man next to Fu Qiang turned his head and muttered a few words to the person next to him. Then the sound of the diesel engine started, and the ship began to move slowly.
Fu Wan hid in the sea and watched the ship leave, secretly memorizing the appearances of the people on board.
After another ten minutes or so, seeing that there were no other people or ships on the sea, Fu Wan finally surfaced and looked around at her surroundings.
The result was shocking!
There aren't any islands around here!
But she clearly came down from behind the Golden Bird's Nest Island, while her father and Fu Liang were still on the boat behind the island!
Good heavens, where has she swum to!
Just as Fu Wan was pondering what to do next, she turned around unintentionally and discovered a dark island far out at sea, seemingly mocking her silently.
Well, it turns out it was behind me all along.
Fu Wan was relieved, but the distance was too far. If only she could get a ride-sharing service, no, a ride-sharing fish.
Fu Wan sighed deeply. "Alas, dreams are beautiful, but reality is harsh. What can I do? Just go swimming!"
But the next second, she heard that familiar, cheerful shout in her ear.
It's an orca!
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Fu Wan felt the seawater surging around her, and the familiar black and white color immediately appeared beside her.
Just like a pillow being handed out when you're sleepy, this SF Express fish—no, I mean SF Express whale—came right on cue!
What else could this be but a perfect understanding between two people?
The baby killer whale was already familiar with Fu Wan's scent. It nuzzled Fu Wan's hand, then nimbly swam to her and carried her on its back.
This was exactly what Fu Wan wanted to do.
"Good boy!"
Fu Wan couldn't help but praise it. She was about to feed it some fish when she realized that besides the moonfish on its back, she had nothing else to feed it.
This is really quite awkward.
"Well, I'll find you something to eat once we get on the ship."
"Take me to the other side of the island to find my family's boat."
"You know the ship? It's that big thing I see every time you look for me!"
Whether the baby orca understood or not, it let out a soft cry and then began to swim with Fu Wan in its arms.
Seeing that the baby killer whale had started swimming, Fu Wanke felt relieved. At the killer whale's speed, she would be able to return with the moonfish on her body in just a few minutes.
Who knew that the next second, her heart, which had been at ease, would jump again.
The little orca didn't understand what she was saying at all, and just kept leading her in circles.
Every now and then it would push an unlucky fish out of the water, but it wouldn't eat it. Instead, it would toss it to the orca next to it, which would then sweep it away with its tail.
That's really... weirdly despicable.
"Little killer whale, I have to go back now, I have important business to attend to!"
The orcas splashed water all over Fu Wan's face again as they played. Well, she'd better swim by herself!
Before she could even get off the orca's back, the baby orca cried out again and then began to swim swiftly, chasing the waves.
However, the direction was clearly not the way Fu Wan wanted to go.
"No, no, no, the direction is wrong!"
