"So much time has passed and we still haven't seen any seabirds. Is it possible that the seabirds have changed direction?"
Ah-Can asked somewhat dejectedly, his eyes filled with disappointment.
More than half an hour has passed since the seabirds disappeared.
The sky remained empty, without a single seabird in sight.
Apart from the sound of waves crashing against the ship's side, all was quiet and there was no other noise.
Feng Ye fell silent.
He squinted and stared intently at the horizon where the sea met the sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of the flock of seabirds.
However, as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the sea and sky blending into one.
Finally, he said helplessly, "That's possible. It's also possible that the seabirds are flying too fast and are far ahead."
"Brother Ye, should we continue the pursuit?"
Ah-chan asked, his tone full of resentment.
Feng Ye frowned, feeling conflicted.
Keep chasing it; it's likely a waste of time and effort.
If they didn't chase after them, they would feel unwilling, what if those seabirds were really waiting for them not far ahead?
This is truly a difficult question to answer.
Just then, the radio suddenly rang.
"Dong Sheng, have you caught up with the seabirds?"
It was an inquiry from Xiao Zhaojun on the Harvest ship.
Feng Ye picked up the walkie-talkie, pressed the call button, and gave a wry smile: "We couldn't catch up. We lost them. The flock of seabirds disappeared half an hour ago."
"Oh no, how could this happen?"
"The seabirds are flying too fast; we're not fast enough to keep up."
"Then what should we do?"
"We're also debating whether or not to continue pursuing this?"
After Feng Ye finished speaking, the driver's cab fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Xiao Zhaojun's voice rang out again, with a hint of hesitation: "How about... we go back first?"
The cargo ship hasn't gone far yet. I'll call them to explain and apologize; they should understand.
We didn't mean to stand him up; it was just a special circumstance.
If we keep chasing after it, who knows how much more time we'll waste.
Moreover, it's not certain that they will be able to catch up.
Instead of doing that, we might as well go back, sell the existing stock, and make a decent profit.
Feng Ye sighed, feeling somewhat tempted.
The fish hold is almost full, so we definitely need to sell them as soon as possible to free up space for continued fishing.
If you miss this fresh seafood collection boat, you will have to contact other fresh seafood collection boats.
In that case, it's unclear when they'll be able to come and collect the goods.
He glanced at Ah Can, who looked bitter and said, "Brother Ye, let's stop chasing and go back to selling our goods."
"Oh well."
Feng Ye nodded, pressed the call button, and said helplessly, "Uncle Jun, what you said makes sense. Then let's go back."
You should also contact the fish-collecting boat and have it head this way so we can meet up as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
Xiao Zhaojun responded, his voice carrying a hint of relief.
Just as Ah-chan was about to turn the rudder around, he took one last look ahead.
But then I suddenly noticed that a group of small black dots seemed to have appeared on the distant horizon.
"Brother Ye, look over there!"
Ah-Can pointed ahead, his voice trembling with excitement.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye subconsciously looked up and saw that the flock of seabirds that had disappeared into the horizon had somehow reappeared.
He quickly pressed the call button: "Uncle Jun, wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
"A flock of seabirds! The flock of seabirds has appeared again!"
"What?"
Xiao Zhaojun repeated in disbelief, "The flock of seabirds has appeared again?"
"Yes, we caught up with the flock of seabirds."
Feng Ye's voice trembled with excitement.
He stared intently at the tiny black dots, afraid they would disappear again.
"Okay, okay..."
Xiao Zhaojun also got excited and said "good" several times. Then he added, "It's good that you connected in time. If it had been any later, I would have contacted the fish-collecting ship."
"That's all for now, you guys hurry up and get here."
After Feng Ye finished speaking, he hung up the phone and turned to look at A-Can, "Hurry, hurry, go full speed ahead, don't lose them again."
A-Can's face lit up with excitement.
He slammed the accelerator, and the Dong Sheng, which had slowed down due to the U-turn, accelerated again, cutting through the waves and speeding towards the group of small black dots on the horizon like an arrow.
Feng Ye quickly went to the back sleeping pod and woke up Feng Xuan and the other three who were still fast asleep.
When they learned that there was a flock of seabirds and that the Dong Sheng was about to catch up, the four of them were very excited.
Any fisherman knows what a flock of seabirds means.
They quickly dressed, not even bothering to wash up, and followed Feng Ye to the deck to prepare.
As the distance closed, the flock of seabirds became increasingly clear.
Feng Ye could even see seabirds spreading their wings and soaring in the sea breeze.
Their calls also reached my ears faintly.
At that moment, he could almost smell the fishy odor.
It's getting closer!
Closer!
Finally, the Dong Sheng, like a ferocious beast, plunged into the sea below where the flock of seabirds was located.
A group of people stood at the bow of the boat, holding hand-launched nets, their eyes fixed on the sea ahead.
Are there any? Are there schools of fish underwater?
