After Bai Yu took out the camera, he called Wang Hai and the others, and then walked towards the deck.
You know what, he was actually quite looking forward to the Filipino monkey's wrecked ship, especially since he'd heard that Filipino monkeys had been living on board ever since the ship ran aground.
He was really curious to see what life was like for the Filipino monkeys who stayed on such a dilapidated ship for months, or even half a year or a year.
Especially in situations of scarcity, can they still guarantee their daily necessities?
It's worth noting that Typhoon Mangkhut had just made landfall in the South China Sea islands in mid-September. I wonder if Typhoon Mangkhut had any impact on this dilapidated Philippine ship.
Filled with curiosity, Bai Yu took her equipment and went up to the deck, standing at the bow and looking ahead.
Unfortunately, they were still some distance from Ren'ai Reef at that time, and they couldn't see anything from the sea.
Moreover, Bai Yu wasn't the only one on the deck. The other anglers on the fishing boat were also quite curious about Ren'ai Reef, and they each brought their equipment to the deck.
The equipment here doesn't mean that every angler has a camera; that's impossible, and no one would be like Bai Yu, carrying a camera everywhere they go.
Of the more than thirty anglers on the fishing boat, only about twenty are currently on deck, and besides Bai Yu, only one other person is holding a camera.
It was this one person who showed Bai Yu how accurate the statements were: anglers who go deep-sea fishing are all well-off, and veteran photographers are all well-off.
The fisherman looked to be quite old, around forty years old.
Bai Yu had a vague impression of this fisherman. The reason was that he had bought the most frozen bait when they went fishing last night, which is why Bai Yu noticed him.
Last night he was willing to spend money on fishing, and even more so on taking photos. I don't recognize the camera model this guy was using, but I do recognize the lens.
That's a super-large lens that's called a "cannon." Just this one lens alone costs about the same as the bluefin tuna that Bai Yu caught last night—starting in the six figures!
Suddenly, Bai Yu looked at the camera in his hand, which cost over 30,000 yuan, and it suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, where is Ren'ai Reef? Where is the grounded warship? Can you take a picture of us together?"
Just as Bai Yu was looking longingly at the camera, Li Shuang ran out of the cabin and rushed straight towards Bai Yu.
"Shuangzi, don't shout. We haven't arrived at Ren'ai Reef yet. I'll definitely take pictures for you when we get there, so don't worry."
Bai Yu looked at Li Shuang and the other two, and quickly called over the noisy Li Shuang. The four of them stood side by side on one side of the deck, waiting for the wrecked boat of the Filipino monkey to come into view.
"Brother Yu, do you think we'll just head straight for Ren'ai Reef like this? Won't something happen along the way? I heard that it wasn't a peaceful place there a couple of years ago."
"What could possibly happen? Ren'ai Reef is our own territory. That shabby Philippine ship is illegally grounded. We are in the right, so what are we afraid of?"
Besides, with our current strength, why would we be afraid of those Filipino monkeys? The thing you're talking about is the confrontation with the Great Beauty a couple of years ago!
We weren't afraid of them two years ago, so why would we be afraid of them two years from now?
Moreover, the situation here has eased a lot in the past two years, and it is much more peaceful than before. What you described will not happen.
"After all, we're just passing by to take pictures; we won't get too close. The water level near the grounded warships is still a bit too shallow. If we get too close, we might run aground."
Bai Yu fully understood Li Shuang's concerns.
After all, as netizens have said, our country hasn't picked up a sword for far too long since the Vietnam War, and some people genuinely believe that our strength has declined.
But is that really the case?
The answer is of course not that. In fact, our family loves peace and usually prefers to resolve issues through dialogue rather than resorting to force.
But when it comes to actually resorting to force, our family will absolutely not back down.
Just like the confrontation with South Korea a couple of years ago that Bai Yu mentioned, that was the closest our country has come to war in recent years. Our country was not giving an inch in the South China Sea, but in the end, South Korea backed down first.
So, in the South China Sea, we really aren't afraid of anyone. Whatever the final outcome, that's our decision, and no one can interfere.
After sailing for about half an hour, a small black dot appeared in Bai Yu and the others' sight; that was Fei Monkey's wrecked ship.
As they gradually approached the wrecked boat belonging to the Filipino monkeys, the fishing boat slowed down, eventually stopping about a hundred meters away.
A hundred meters seems like a long distance, but it's actually quite a distance.
The reason it stopped in this place is because the water around this wrecked ship is too shallow and there are too many reefs around it.
The fishing boat that Bai Yu and his companions were on certainly couldn't get too close; a distance of over a hundred meters was already considered quite good.
However, the distance is not a problem, as they also have rubber boats on board. For medium to large vessels like theirs that operate in the open sea, rubber boats are an essential survival item.
If Bai Yu and his group wanted to get closer to the wrecked ship, they could use a rubber boat to observe its condition up close.
As the fishing boat came to a stop, the rubber dinghies were also launched. Soon, several anglers boarded the dinghies and, under the guidance of the staff, headed towards the wrecked boat.
Bai Yu took his camera and recorded the scene on the deck.
In his lens, calling the Philippine monkey's warship a "broken ship" is not an insult, but the most truthful assessment of it.
Because it was truly dilapidated; the entire ship was covered in rust, the paint had peeled off in many places, and there were even several holes in the ship.
The ship's deck was also turned into a clothes-drying area by the Filipino monkeys, with many of their clothes hanging there, and household waste was everywhere.
Is it wrong to call this ship a dilapidated ship?
I think there's absolutely no problem with it; in fact, it's almost an exaggeration.
