"Ah Chan, adjust course and speed up to leave."
Feng Ye made a quick decision, his voice tinged with nervousness.
He could only hope it was a coincidence, that the ship just happened to be traveling on the same route.
But if they change course and that ship is still following closely behind, then things are not simple; it's definitely not a friendly stunt.
In this sea area, only the people of Longtail Island are capable of doing such a thing.
Ah-chan quickly adjusted the boat's course, drawing a graceful arc on the sea.
At the same time, the engine roared louder, and the ship's speed gradually increased.
However, the thing they least wanted to see still happened.
The ship behind them also changed course, continuing to pursue relentlessly, and showing signs of getting closer and closer.
Feng Ye's heart sank to the bottom.
Based on this, it's almost certain that the ship belongs to Nagao Island.
"Holy crap, are we really that unlucky?"
Ah-chan also realized this.
Feng Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Is there any need to say more? It's definitely that bastard. Can we speed it up any further?"
"Full throttle."
Ah-Can said anxiously, "What should we do, Brother Ye?"
"Damn! Hold on, let me think about it."
Feng Ye frowned, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures.
If the people of Longtail Island catch up with us and recognize us, not only will our goods be in danger, but we may also lose our ship and our lives.
He must figure out a way to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.
When his gaze inadvertently swept over the trawl net on the boat, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he thought of a potentially feasible solution.
However, this would mean losing this trawl net, and even those thirty gillnets.
But in this emergency, it had no choice but to do so; losing a few nets seemed to be the least of the costs.
"Ah-Can, I'll take the helm. You go and prepare the nets."
Feng Ye's voice revealed an unquestionable determination as he ran into the driver's seat and took over the helm.
"Prepare the nets? Now?"
Ah-Can was somewhat confused and didn't quite understand Feng Ye's intentions.
"Yes, prepare the nets. We need to use fishing nets to delay them."
Feng Ye explained, "Once they get close, we drop nets to try and entangle their propellers. This will buy us some time and may even damage their propellers."
Ah-Can now fully understand, and he knew that this was not the time to hesitate. He immediately said, "Okay, Brother Ye, I'll go right away."
Feng Ye reminded him, "Remember to remove some of the weights from the trawl net and the gillnet, and also tie on more floats."
"I know."
Ah-chan acted quickly, swiftly taking out a fishing net and floats from the cabin.
Then the floats were tied one by one to the trawl net and the gillnet.
Fortunately, there were many buoys on the Rising Sun.
This is prepared in case we encounter schools of fish in the middle and upper layers of the water.
Their trawls are bottom trawls, and their gillnets are also for catching bottom-dwelling fish. To make the nets float, they must add floats to increase buoyancy.
Soon, Ah-Can had prepared the trawl net and gillnet, and tied the floats to them, ready to be put into the sea at any time.
While keeping a close eye on the sea ahead, Feng Ye would occasionally look back to observe the situation of the ships behind him, looking for the best opportunity to implement their plan.
Time passed second by second, and the distance between the two ships was already very close.
Although there was still fog, they could still see seven or eight people standing on the bow of the boat behind them, shouting at them.
Feng Ye's heart was pounding faster and faster; the next few minutes would determine their fate.
He took a deep breath and then shouted to Ah-chan, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Ah-chan responded.
There was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Put down the netting one sheet at a time, don't put them all down at once."
Trawl nets are quite expensive, and it would be a real shame to lose one right away.
Trapping nets are cheap; 30 nets together are not as valuable as a single trawl net.
The loss is regrettable, but it's still acceptable compared to the losses from trawls.
That single trawl net was only used when 30 gillnets were ineffective and there was absolutely no other way.
"I see."
Ah-chan nodded and began to cast the first net into the sea.
The net, impacted by the wake, quickly unfolded, forming a white barrier on the sea surface.
At the same time, Feng Ye was also closely monitoring the movements of the ships behind him.
Hopefully, these sticky nets will effectively slow down the enemy, or at least disrupt their pursuit.
Upon seeing the white buoy on the sea, the other side immediately understood Feng Ye and his group's intentions and took immediate action.
The helmsman quickly slowed down and adjusted the course, trying to avoid the fishing nets blocking the way.
They managed to avoid it, but this delay widened the distance between them.
"Very good."
Ah-chan exclaimed excitedly, "Our plan worked!"
"As long as it works."
Seeing this, Feng Ye breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the other ship immediately accelerated and chased after it after dodging it, it at least interfered with the other ship and effectively delayed it.
They had 30 nets; he didn't believe the other side couldn't catch up in a long time and would keep chasing them relentlessly.
"Should we continue setting up the nets now?"
"Don't rush. Wait until they get closer, then I'll tell you when to release them."
"good."
The other side wasn't stupid either. This time, instead of chasing right behind the Rising Sun, they shifted their course slightly and caught up from the left rear, maintaining the same course.
