Time passed second by second.
As the sun gradually sets in the west, the sea surface glistens with light.
Golden sunlight streamed onto the two ships, adding a tense and eerie atmosphere to the standoff.
Feng Ye stared intently at the fishing boats behind him, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with confusion and vigilance.
He simply couldn't understand what the other party was planning.
But the feeling of being followed made him very unhappy.
"Brother Ye, are we just going to keep stalling like this?"
Ah-Can asked somewhat impatiently.
"Let it drag on, we're not in a hurry anyway."
Feng Ye's reply sounded somewhat helpless.
He was well aware that continuing like this was not a good thing for them.
But what can we do?
If the other side doesn't come forward, they're helpless.
Ah-Can pouted: "But this is too awkward, like being stared at by a mad dog, and you can't shake it off."
Everyone nodded in agreement, sharing the same sentiment.
Indeed, this feeling makes one feel very uncomfortable.
The key is to remain vigilant at all times to avoid giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage.
"Ah Ye, can't we think of a way to close the distance so we can unleash a burst of bullets on them?"
"Yes, we need to think of a way to prevent them from following us. If it gets dark, we'll be in big trouble..."
"Wait, what did you just say? It's getting dark?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I understand what they're up to."
A flash of understanding crossed Feng Ye's eyes. "They're waiting for nightfall, hoping to use the cover of darkness to sneak up and then launch a sudden attack."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
At night, the sea is pitch black, greatly affecting visibility and making it difficult to judge distances.
And if the other party turns off the lights, it becomes even more difficult to defend against and extremely dangerous.
If that's really the case, then the other party's plan is far too insidious.
"Then what do we do?"
Ah-chan asked nervously.
"What else can we do but try to find a solution?"
There's a saying that three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.
Let's all think about this carefully. With so many of us, we're sure we can come up with a solution.
As Feng Ye spoke, his mind raced, searching for a solution.
Ah-Can and Ye Chenliang didn't dare to slack off either, and were all brainstorming.
After all, it concerns one's own safety.
"Or, let's find a place with lots of people and boats to dock? I don't believe they'll dare to chase us all the way to the shore."
"What's there to be afraid of? There were so many people at the dock back then, didn't they still try to rob us?"
"That's true, but it's still better than staying out until night. Besides, they'll have some reservations about being in crowded places, right?"
"This is a last resort, only to be used when there's absolutely no other way. We haven't reached that point yet. Besides, we might not have enough time to get to shore. Look at what time it is."
Feng Ye shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.
Xiao Mingshi suggested, "Why don't we try calling with the radio and see if we can contact the patrolling coast guard vessel?"
"That's a good idea, we can give it a try."
Feng Ye nodded slightly, but immediately added, "However, what if there are no coast guard patrols nearby?"
A moment of silence fell over everyone again.
Indeed, the ocean is so vast that it's impossible for the coast guard to patrol every corner, leaving many unexplored areas.
If there are really no coast guard ships nearby, then their calls will be in vain.
"Hey, what do you guys think? They're not coming up, right? If we slow down, we'll close the distance, won't we?"
Ye Chenliang suddenly spoke up.
But it was immediately rejected by everyone.
"No, if we slow down, what if the other side takes the opportunity to speed up and get closer?"
"Yes, wouldn't we be even more passive then, with so many guns on their ship?"
"They might also slow down and maintain this distance, then our plan will fall through."
"Think again, there must be other ways..."
Feng Ye's eyes lit up.
Although there are certain risks, success is not impossible if done well.
He turned to look at everyone: "This method is worth trying. The key is that you must keep them under control and not let them get within a hundred meters."
"Huh? We really have to use this method?"
Ah-Can hesitated for a moment. "If we mess this up, we'll be in danger."
Feng Ye spread his hands: "Is there a better way than this?"
Everyone remained silent.
Given the current situation, it seems that this is the only way to possibly shake off their pursuit.
"Alright, let's give it a try."
Ah-Can gritted his teeth and agreed.
“I’ll go to the wheelhouse and talk to my brother. If we can get in touch with the coast guard, that would be best. If not, we’ll use this method.”
Ah-Can, if the boat slows down later, you need to be careful. Once it's within firing range, fire hard.
Don't hold back; beat them until they're terrified and never dare come near again.
Feng Ye patted A-Can on the shoulder and solemnly gave him some instructions.
Ah-chan nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Ye-ge, I know what to do."
Feng Ye went up to the wheelhouse and told Feng Xuan about the plans of the ship behind them, as well as the three countermeasures they had discussed.
Feng Xuan asked, "Should we contact the coast guard vessel first?"
"Yes, let's call them by radio first and see if there are any coast guard vessels nearby."
As he spoke, Feng Ye switched the channel to the public channel and made several calls using the walkie-talkie.
However, there has been no response.
Instead, it lured Xiao Zhaojun out.
"Ah Ye, stop shouting. I've also thought of asking the coast guard to arrest the people on that boat behind us. I've already called them several times, but there shouldn't be any coast guard patrols nearby."
"In that case, we'll have no choice but to resort to that risky move."
"What risky move?"
Frustrated, Feng Ye had no choice but to repeat himself.
"Isn't this too risky? If we mess it up, we'll be in danger."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhaojun's expression also turned solemn.
"How about we think about it again and see if there are any other safer and more reliable methods?"
He said this with some unease.
Feng Ye smiled wryly: "I want to, but I really can't think of any other way."
Moreover, we don't have much time left; the sun is almost setting, and we have no choice but to take a gamble.
"If you ask me, we should find a place to dock. They might not dare to come ashore and make a move."
"The problem is that we are unfamiliar with the area and don't know which docks are crowded, and we may not be able to dock before dark."
"That's true, we're quite far from the shore now. Since there's no other way, let's do as you say."
Xiao Zhaojun pondered for a moment, then finally agreed, "Is there anything I can do?"
