After dinner, Zhang Ze enjoyed the sea breeze on the flying bridge, then walked leisurely to the cockpit, started the Duoyu and began to look for a fishing spot.
From time to time, small circles of red marks will appear on the fish finder screen. In terms of fish resources, this place is indeed better.
After a while, Zhang Ze found an area of water with a depth of 153 meters. The fish finder showed a large area of red on the bottom of the water, so he fished here at night.
The fishing rod was not taken down in the morning, but was covered with a black cloth to prevent it from being exposed to the sun and getting wet by the splashing sea water.
He stopped the boat and dropped the anchor, then went to the fishing rods and removed the black cloth. Zhang Ze then replaced all four fishing rods with heavy-duty fishing rods.
There are a lot of big fish in places like Dongsha, Xisha and Nansha, so there is no need to consider fishing for small fish.
This location is mainly used for fishing deep-sea fish, and there are definitely many such fish, such as tuna, ruby fish, longtail sea bream, grouper, and seven-band grouper, so Zhang Ze chose the universal ordinary bait.
After hanging up the baits that would turn into big shrimps, Zhang Ze started the winch to let out the line.
When the stretched fishing line became loose, he reversed the winch to reel it in a little. He estimated that it was about two or three meters away from the bottom and then turned off the winch. He performed the same operation on all five fishing rods.
But this time, the first fish to be caught was not the first fishing rod, but the bamboo rod closest to the inside.
With a creaky sound, the fishing rod bent immediately with a huge amplitude, and it was obvious that a big fish was caught.
Zhang Ze quickly started the winch and applied force from both sides at the same time. The one who suffered was the fishing rod, which bent even more severely.
But the fishing line was being reeled in at a steady speed. It was obvious that although the fish was big, it was not so big that the winch could not pull it back.
The line was being reeled in with a hissing sound, and the fishing rod next to it finally made some movement.
This heavy-duty fishing rod is very hard, at least much harder than a bamboo rod. It also caught a fish, but the degree of bending was not that great.
This was also the first time that Zhang Ze used this fishing rod, and he couldn't tell the size of the fish at the bottom of the water from the reaction of the fishing rod.
But no matter what, he started the winch to reel in the line immediately and that was it.
Fishing and fighting with fish is a kind of fun, but buying goods is definitely more fun for most people, except those who are not interested in money.
A few minutes later, the bamboo pole was the first to pull up a fish, a seven-banded grouper with its stomach spitting out at the mouth, about a meter long. Zhang Ze picked up the large scoop net and easily pulled it up, then put it into the space, using the space function at night without any scruples. He took a look at the weight of the seven-banded grouper, which was 56 kilograms, very good.
If this happened in later times, one could make thousands of dollars from one piece.
Of course, this kind of fish is usually frozen at sea for several days at ultra-low temperatures. If it is replaced with ice-fresh fish with high freshness, it is not impossible to sell it for tens of thousands.
However, seven-banded grouper is usually found in the open sea, so it is still very difficult to get it freshly chilled.
Fortunately, this was not a problem for Zhang Ze. The fish quickly recovered its vitality in the space and he could just take it out when he was ready to return.
I quickly put the bait on, started the winch, let out the line and continued fishing. After a while, the fish next to me appeared.
This time it was a ruby fish with a mainly pink color. It was also meter-sized, but because of its slender body, its weight was a little different from that of the seven-banded fish, at only 27 kilograms.
They were all meter-sized fish, and Zhang Ze didn't mind even if they were half the weight. It seemed like he was going to make a fortune today.
Next, Zhang Ze kept walking back and forth among the five fishing rods. He was so busy that he never had a moment to rest, but there was a smile on his face.
It’s been a long time since I had such a great harvest. How can I not laugh?
An hour later, all five fishing rods were still caught, and the smallest fish weighed over ten pounds.
It’s not that the fish is small, it’s a problem of species.
Blackfin snake mackerel is long and slender and very similar to cutlassfish, so it looks very long but don't expect it to be heavy.
The number of fish caught in this hour was about the same as last night, but the weight was several times greater.
At the same time, the unit price of these deep-sea fish is generally higher, so the income can be doubled more often.
Feeling very happy, Zhang Ze once again felt that the electric spinning rod set he made was very good and it was indeed a pleasure to purchase it.
At this moment, one of the winches that was reeling in the line suddenly paused, and the fishing rod bent violently, then bounced back and swung up and down.
Zhang Ze blinked in confusion, but when he saw that everything had returned to normal, he didn't think much about it.
He had now picked up his large scoop net, ready to scoop up the fish that was about to surface.
As a result, this time the harvest was accompanied by a shock.
It was another seven-banded spotted shark, but there was an extra male corpse.
It was also a coincidence that the clothes of the corpse happened to be hooked on the fishhook that pierced the fish's mouth. It was just hooked there, and when the fish appeared on the water surface, the hooked part naturally fell off with the swaying of the waves.
A dead body suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, lying on its back, which scared Zhang Ze, who was unprepared.
However, this was not the first time he had seen a corpse. Apart from the initial shock, when he came to his senses, he immediately noticed something strange.
The corpse is very fresh!
Don't get me wrong, this freshness means that the body does not seem to have been soaked in water for a long time. It is exactly the same as before, just a little whitish.
This made Zhang Ze mistakenly believe that a shipwreck might have occurred nearby, so he quickly retracted all the fishing hooks and prepared to go around to see if there was anything he could find.
It was also a coincidence that the corpse floating in the water with the undercurrent happened to be hung on his fishing hook.
Secondly, because the blood had already drained out and it was late at night, Zhang Ze did not look carefully and did not notice the gunshot wound on the body.
At this moment, the body has drifted away with the waves, and is floating up and down, and it is estimated that it will sink again soon.
If it is not eaten by a shark, it will not float again until it becomes swollen.
Zhang Ze had no intention of collecting the other party's body. It was scary late at night, so he returned to the cabin to take back the anchor, wrote down the coordinates of this place, and then drove the boat around.
See if you can find any fishing boats that may have encountered a shipwreck. When out at sea, every fisherman who sees such a situation will probably go and look for it.
If they are unlucky enough to suffer a shipwreck one day, they also hope that someone nearby will find them and come looking for them.
At this moment, just two kilometers ahead of him, the two fishing boats were still floating quietly, and the lights on the boats were still on.
There was blood all over the boat, and a lot of it flowed onto the sea surface, attracting many sharks to circle around.
Except for the one who was just carried away by the undercurrent, all the people who fell into the water had been eaten by sharks.
In other words, this group of sharks has become extremely dangerous because humans have become part of their diet.
Just like some land carnivores, if they eat or injure people, they must be eliminated to prevent more people from being harmed. However, no one is trying to deal with these sharks at the moment.
Zhang Ze had already noticed the lights in the distance at this time. The moment he noticed them, he slowed down the boat and turned off the high beam lights on the boat.
He was afraid that it was a coast guard ship from Taiwan or something, so he would not fall into the trap.
But after waiting for a while, he found that the two ships did not seem to move, so he became bolder, sailed closer again, and then observed with a telescope.
When he saw the two boats, he was a little surprised. There was no one on board? The lights were on, and they didn't look like they were going to sleep.
The hull was intact and there was no shipwreck, so Zhang Ze was a little confused.
He is a little hesitant now, wondering whether he should go and have a look.
These two were fishing boats, and at most they were discovered by fishermen from Taiwan. So he turned on the lights and accelerated again, preparing to pass by the side to see what was going on. In case anyone needed help, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand in the vast ocean.
In Zhang Ze's eyes, whether in Taiwan or Hong Kong, everyone is a brother of the same clan. What does the politics of these two islands have to do with him?
However, when the Duoyu passed by the two fishing boats, he turned his head and took a look, and suddenly a chill ran down his head, making his scalp tingle.
There were corpses on both ships. He saw more than a dozen at a cursory glance.
Now Zhang Ze finally understood the origin of the corpse. It turned out that the people on the two ships had fought with each other!
Judging from the situation, they should have all died together. If there are any survivors, they should have destroyed their bodies and left long ago.
Or maybe there is a third party that destroyed these two parties and left.
No matter how hard Zhang Ze guessed, he could not have imagined that two groups of idiots wanted to cheat people, but ended up fighting each other and killing everyone.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He turned the rudder, and the Duoyu made a big turn on the sea and headed back.
Of course, he wasn't so kind as to go back and bury it. He just wanted to see if there was any advantage he could take.
Getting closer again, this time Zhang Ze could see more clearly.
"What the hell, sprayer?"
He didn't know how these people died just now, but now he can see it clearly, especially the shotguns in the hands of the corpses, which made his heart beat faster.
Chen Xudong said before that he was trying to find some trolls, but after so many days, there has been no movement.
Zhang Ze knew that it would be difficult for ordinary people to do this, so he didn't urge him.
I didn't expect that because of a dead body while fishing tonight, I would see so many guys.
But Zhang Ze did not approach rashly. Instead, he sneaked to the flying bridge with a telescope and observed again.
After making sure that there were no living people on the fishing boat, he drove the boat slowly closer and docked with the two boats that were sticking together.
As for why we don't use a troll, it's mainly because the dorsal fins paddling on the sea are too scary, and the troll is too small to withstand the torment of a big shark.
After tying the fishing boat tightly with ropes, Zhang Ze took a crossbow and brought Xiao Hei to the boat next to him.
Suddenly seeing so many corpses, Xiao Hei was not nervous at all. Instead, he guarded in front of him vigilantly.
This surprised Zhang Ze. He originally thought that Xiao Hei would be scared, and he had planned to comfort Xiao Hei first.
Good dog, I’ll go back and cook you a chicken leg as a midnight snack.
But then again, seeing these horrifically dead bodies, Zhang Ze himself felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, Xiao Hei's calm performance made him not so nervous.
He took a rough look at the shotguns in these people's hands. They all seemed to be small shotguns, and there didn't seem to be any larger ones like the Charge.
This was the first time in Zhang Ze’s two lifetimes that he had come into contact with these things, and he had no idea what models these spray guns were.
He picked up a shotgun out of curiosity and observed it. He didn't dare to point the gun at himself, but pulled the trigger at the shark that was still on the surface of the water.
"Bang~"
There was a loud bang on the sea, and the water surface exploded, followed by the sound of Xiao Hei barking, but this time he was barking at Zhang Ze, his unscrupulous master.
Xiao Hei: "Woof woof woof woof (Can you please remind me, the dog is scared to death!)"
Zhang Ze smiled awkwardly and comforted it: "Sorry, sorry, I will pay more attention next time."
After calming the hook, he began to study the safety and how to get the magazine out.
After studying for a while, he finally figured out how to turn the safety on and off and how to take out the magazine.
If you turn off the safety, the trigger cannot be pressed, which can effectively prevent accidental discharge.
Otherwise, if you put this thing in your trouser pocket, the first person to get hurt will be your little brother.
After figuring it out, Zhang Ze collected all the shotguns on the two ships.
The number was not as many as he had imagined. There were only nine shotguns in total, and it was possible that some of them had fallen into the sea.
When all the peanuts were collected, there were fifty-seven in total.
One magazine can hold thirteen peanuts, so it seems that a lot of them have been used, but it is not ruled out that there are stocks in the rooms on the ship.
While looking for the spray gun, he also saw the flour and greenbacks scattered on the side.
He didn't know the taste of certain flours, but he could recognize the flour that could be used to make dumplings, buns and noodles.
When Zhang Ze found the ghost money sandwiched between the real flour and green banknotes, he was shocked and didn't know what to say when looking at these corpses.
After collecting a few real greenbacks, he continued to search the cabin.
If they were coming to the sea to trade and were planning to cheat people, they would naturally not bring any valuables. In the end, Zhang Ze only found a lot of peanuts and a few Hong Kong dollars and Taiwan dollars.
It’s not a lot of money, probably just pocket money that I keep on hand.
But Zhang Ze took them all, which amounted to over ten thousand Taiwan dollars and even more Hong Kong dollars, so at least he could buy some things.
He brought all the found items back to his boat, untied the ropes and pushed the two boats apart, then Zhang Ze shot at the bottom of the broken fishing boat in front of him.
The peanuts penetrated the thin hull directly. Although the bullet hole was small, seawater still flowed in through the bullet hole, causing the two tied fishing boats to sink to the bottom of the sea.
Back in the cab, looking at the nine shotguns and at least a thousand peanuts in front of him, Zhang Ze felt safe.
Now we finally have a certain ability to protect ourselves from threats, at least we are no longer afraid of a few people hijacking the ship.
There are nine shotguns, Jin Sanbao and Tong Yuanhang get six, and Lin Long and Lin Hu at home get two, which is just right.
I chose the newest one and placed it in the small drawer next to the cab, and also placed the magazine filled with peanuts next to the shotgun.
The remaining shotguns and magazines were all separated and wrapped in cloth. When we had finished fishing here, we would go find Jin Sanbao and the others.
Zhang Ze was extremely happy with the unexpected harvest . He was about to sail away, but when he saw the sharks still surrounding the two boats and unwilling to leave, he frowned again.
These sharks, which have tasted human flesh, cannot be left alone! Although great white sharks and tiger sharks can attack humans, they generally do not actively attack. They only attack in certain situations.
But the sharks here will take the initiative to treat humans as food. (End of this chapter)
