Chapter 259 Going to Sea
"The tide is coming in, hurry up and clean up."
"Catch it a little longer!"
"run!"
…
"As agreed, I have experience this time." Zhao Tianshuo wiped the sea water off his face. His whole body was wet. Water kept dripping from his trouser legs and his shoes left water marks wherever he walked. He looked so embarrassed.
"I can't help it. I can't walk anymore after seeing so much seafood."
“Puff…”
Everyone was talking and laughing as they hurried back, but when they were almost at the camp, they all put on sad and bored expressions.
Soon they met the woman's team, and the other party was also at a loss, and could not tell the real from the fake.
The woman was delighted and hurried to ask them about the situation, but Li Zixi sent her away with a few words.
They were busy counting the ingredients and had no time to chat with her.
Yun wanted to open the defensive talisman, and everyone hurriedly took out the seafood. Li Zixi became happier the more he counted.
By the time they were sorted, the shallow-water people had returned. Today's results were slightly better than yesterday's, but they were still far from comparable.
Tian Wei and Wu Xu couldn't sit still any longer. "Captain, let's do it overnight when the tide goes out."
Yun thought about it and realized that there were enough people to work two shifts without going out to sea, so he nodded and said, "You guys go and rest first, and we'll set off when the tide goes out."
"Okay." Tian Wei quickly asked everyone to rest.
As soon as midnight passed, Tian Wei led his men to the east coast. He did not let Yun Xiang follow them, as his own team could handle it.
Over the next three days, everyone took turns collecting materials on the east coast, returning with a full load every time the tide went out.
Xie Yu and his companions had estimated a three-day journey, but ended up walking for a week, leaving them all exhausted. They handed their catch to Yun Xiang and the others and immediately went to rest.
Yun Xiang and his friends were packing up while guessing about the situation at sea. After all the packing, they had a pleasant harvest.
Xie Yu had just woken up, and his throat was still a little hoarse. He drank some water to moisten his throat, "There's basically nothing near the shallow waters. The middle part of the sea is okay, but not open to the elements.
The attacks of fish, shrimps and crabs were particularly fierce. There was nothing I could do but keep exploring deeper until I was almost out of the near sea area and reached the edge of the deep sea, where they gradually began to appear in greater numbers.
Excluding the losses, it looks like a lot, but it’s actually not that much.”
"What's going on this year? Why is there so little seafood?"
"The millennium catastrophe is approaching, and the direction of mutation is basically determined."
"Fuck! Everything is becoming less. Are we going to be able to survive?" Tengchong was impulsive and jumped up immediately.
Lin Ziyu fearlessly added fuel to the fire, "Many plants have already stopped bearing fruit. Just wait to starve."
Peacemaker Zeng Li hurriedly said, "Oh, aunt, why don't you hope for something good?"
Lin Ziyu rolled her eyes. "I'm telling the truth. I'll eat leaves, bark, grass roots... or at worst, dirt!"
"Ahem, Sister Lin, don't worry too much. We have our own ways to deal with it." Shi Qixuan touched her arm unconsciously. She would rather starve to death than eat dirt.
Lin Ziyu shrugged, "I hope so!"
The topic dropped right there. It was quite creepy, so Yun wanted to change the subject. "Are we going to continue collecting along the coast tomorrow, or go out to sea?"
It definitely won’t work in shallow waters, so we have to go further away.
"Let's go out to sea." It's okay to collect small amounts of money from the coast, but it's not enough to support a mercenary group.
Li Zixi re-counted the resources for going out to sea and mobilized all staff, which could last for twenty days.
The next day, everyone checked the boat and went out to sea together.
"This is a detector!" Yun Xiang saw that in addition to the coordinates on the display screen, there were countless small dots. The dots were of different colors, some were connected together, and some were scattered.
Bie Nao, who was watching the detector the entire time, said, "These small dots represent the distribution of fish in the sea. Even though there are only a few of them now, they are everywhere near the coastal areas and the deep sea boundary."
Yun thought for a moment and nodded, "Do the different colors represent levels or nutritional values?"
"Levels: red is the lowest, purple is the highest. But it's not very accurate if the distance is too far."
Yun wanted to express his understanding and looked back at the smart screen. It was mostly orange and yellow, with some green appearing occasionally, but it didn't get closer.
I breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and just as I turned to leave, I suddenly noticed several green dots appearing on the edge of the screen.
A little worried, they stared at it for a while, and then they saw something was wrong. The other party was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.
Then the color changes from green to cyan, then blue...
Yun Xiang grabbed the microphone next to the smart screen and said, "Quick, defend--"
The color instantly changes to purple and the display turns on an alarm.
“Ding ding…”
"Bang!" The boat suffered a violent collision and was almost overturned.
In a hurry, Yun wanted to grab the microphone stand, but the stand was movable and was pulled up directly, throwing him and the stand backwards and hitting the wall of the ship.
The person next to her was in an even worse situation. He hit his head on the dinner tray and was then thrown out of his seat.
The people on the deck fell all over the place, and some were even knocked away. Fortunately, Xie Yu's defensive talisman was activated in time, and the people hit the protective shield and rolled back onto the deck.
It hurts a bit, but it's better than falling into the water and being eaten.
Before he could react, another attack hit him and the defensive talisman was directly destroyed. Xie Yu replaced it in time.
Everyone was knocked dizzy again, but fortunately they had been on the mission for a long time, so although they were scared, they did not panic. They tried to find something to grab to ensure that they would not be thrown out.
Those who have spare time will also help other partners.
Yun Xiang covered her forehead, tried to recover from the pain, and climbed up. She helped Bie Nao up and said, "Quick, tell me how to operate. Let's get out of this sea area."
Bie Nao patted his dizzy head, leaned over the smart screen, and was about to reach out when suddenly "Ziz--"
A spark suddenly flew up from the smart screen, and then went out and the screen went black.
Bie Nao was frightened and said, "This is troublesome. The line is burned."
After only two collisions, the intelligent system was paralyzed. Yun Xiang realized the seriousness of the problem and stumbled to the rudder.
Shit, she can't steer!
Fortunately, Bie Nao was behind him, so Yun Xiang hurried to make room. But Bie Nao's skills were really not that good, and the boat actually went spinning in place.
However, he did not admit that it was his fault, claiming that it was the result of sea water blocking the way.
"Bang bang!" It hit twice in a row.
"Tengchong, Qilian...you guys pull the sail!" After giving the order, Xie Yu hurriedly grabbed You Hao and dragged him to the cabin.
Don't make trouble. He didn't stand firmly and hit his head directly on the rudder, and passed out.
Yun Xiang looked at this with some envy. She reached out her hand several times but didn't know which way to turn.
But if they don't turn, their boat won't be able to hold on for much longer. Never mind. Yun Xiang was about to take action when Xie Yu brought You Hao down.
Phew! Yun Xiang heaved a sigh of relief and quickly made way.
You Hao is indeed a driving genius. He can control the boat completely and even sail on a route that does not recognize anyone.
"Bang bang!" After destroying the three defensive talismans, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But before he could sit down, he was chased by something again.
"What the hell is this?" Chu Xu held onto the mast to steady himself again.
Yun Xiang wiped the seawater off his face and said, "A mutant double-sided shark."
This shark is easy to recognize by the bulges on both sides of the front of its head, which resemble a girl's chic hair. It also has two relatively high dorsal fins.
This kind of shark is ferocious and good at swimming. Once it is regarded as prey, it will chase it in groups.
