Chapter 113 Shark Attack



A storm has little effect on a leaf, primarily because the shelter is sturdy enough to withstand the ravages of a storm.

In his view, a storm of this magnitude at sea is the limit. It's not that storms are limited to this level, but for a TV program, a storm at this price is the limit.

Any bigger and the production team couldn't handle it. If it caused serious consequences, the show would have been a waste of time and resources, and they might even have lost a lot of money.

Ye Zi believes that the production team has someone specifically monitoring the weather forecast, and even directly contacted meteorological experts to keep an eye on the weather conditions near the survival location.

If the weather changes beyond expectations, the participants will likely be picked up immediately.

Although some contestants have been eliminated, don't forget that each group of contestants includes a celebrity. If something happens to these people, the compensation the production team will have to pay will be astronomical.

No insurance company would underwrite such a program. Even if they did, extreme weather wouldn't be covered. Nobody would do business that's obviously going to lose money.

Besides the shelter standing the test, no survival tools were lost, and the hunting grounds were completely unaffected.

Even the small boats that were capsized on the island were unharmed.

After the storm, Ye Zi and Reba's lives returned to normal: fishing, cooking, practicing shooting, and practicing martial arts.

On the thirty-fifth day of their island survival adventure, Reba's passion for fishing remained undiminished. After breakfast, the two rowed out to sea, still near the shipwreck site.

This place is simply a treasure trove. There are coral reefs underwater, and all kinds of fish make their home here. There are also many fish that come to hunt. Even if you can't catch any fish, you don't need to move your place to dive and shoot fish with your leaf.

While it's true that you can't exploit every opportunity to fleece someone, this doesn't apply to the ocean.

Because there are too many marine organisms, too many different kinds, and they are very mobile.

The fish that disappear today will be replaced by fish from other places tomorrow.

Besides, Ye Zi is a living person. Even if there are no fish to settle at the shipwreck site, he can find another place and continue to fish to his heart's content.

The island is indeed small, but the surrounding sea area is vast, and they are not living there long-term, only for a few months. The area around the island can easily withstand this loss.

However, Ye Zi overlooked one problem: she came here once a day and processed the fish catch here every time.

Each time the fish entrails are cleaned out, they are stuffed into a fish basket and sunk to the bottom of the sea to be used as bait.

The blood from cleaning the fish is also washed away with seawater, which causes the seawater near the shipwreck site to have a bloody smell every day.

The smell of blood may be insignificant to humans, but it is very attractive to marine life.

Just as Ye Zi finished processing her first catch, a fish fin suddenly emerged from the distant sea.

The fish fins appeared and disappeared intermittently, but Ye Zi and her companion, who were fishing, did not notice them at all until the fins entered the system's detection range.

"Host, a big fish is coming."

The system's voice carried a hint of joy. The reason was simple: although Ye Zi had been fishing every day, the amount of Qi and Blood Points she had gained was negligible because they were all small fish. The largest one was just a beginner's bonus for Reba, a grouper weighing about five pounds.

However, the leaves only provide a mere two points of Qi and Blood, and most of the fish we eat daily cannot provide any Qi and Blood.

So it's normal for the system to have such emotions, because it has finally gained some health points.

Ye Zi looked in the direction given by the system and saw a fish fin appearing and disappearing on the surface of the sea. After seeing the shape of the fish fin clearly, Ye Zi narrowed her eyes.

That's a shark!

Ye Zi immediately growled:

"Reba, my shark is coming! Hold on tight to the gunwale."

As he spoke, he drew his cleaver from his waist, ready for battle.

Reba was startled and immediately reached out to grab the gunwale, then said in a trembling voice:

"What do we do? Can we run?"

Ye Zi stared in the direction the shark was coming from, estimated its speed, and said:

"It's too late, and I'm not rowing any faster than this shark."

"Then what do we do?"

Ye Zi said in a deep voice:

"Hopefully it won't attack us, otherwise I wouldn't mind taking it back to try it out."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Zi growled:

"Hold on tight, we're coming."

Thud...

Just as Ye Zi finished reminding Reba, a muffled thud came from the bottom of the boat. Reba was terrified because a shark had attacked the small boat, meaning that the shark's target was her and Ye Zi on the boat.

The shark darted past, and Ye Zi turned back to keep staring in its direction, mentally asking the system:

How big is this thing?

"About three meters long, weighing around 300 kilograms, with a very long tail, over a meter long, it should be some kind of attack method," the system immediately replied.

Ye Zi frowned. A body three meters long and weighing three hundred kilograms—this size shouldn't be considered small in the sea, but it was nothing special to Ye Zi.

With a tail that's over a meter long, it would probably be quite painful to be hit by it in the sea.

I never expected that my first encounter with a marine creature would be with such a huge opponent.

This thing is almost the size of a small boat, no wonder it attacked the small boat.

The shark circled around and charged at the small boat again. Ye Zi knew that this couldn't go on; the small boat couldn't withstand the attack of a marine creature of that size.

It was only a matter of time before the small boat capsized.

There are also hot babblers on board. If they fall into the water, the consequences would be unimaginable. Taking the initiative to attack them is the only option, unless the sharks leave.

At this moment, the live stream chat was flooded with comments about sharks, and all the viewers were waiting to see how Ye Zi would respond.

Upon hearing the news, netizens flocked to the live stream to watch what would happen next.

Some people even bet on whether Ye Zi would go into the water to fight sharks.

The title of "King of One-on-One in the Wilderness" is well-deserved, and the audience's biggest expectation for Ye Zi is to take on a large marine predator.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than a month, this scene finally unfolded.

Ye Zi knew nothing about what was happening in the live stream, and even if he did, there was nothing he could do, because the shark in front of him was the problem he needed to face.

The shark swam past the bottom of the boat again, and the sound of the small boat being attacked rang out once more.

Ye Zi frowned, hoping the shark would leave after this attack.

But things didn't go as planned. The system's detection results told Ye Zi that the shark was circling around and the next attack was not far off.

A sinister smile crept across Ye Zi's lips as she whispered:

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'm in dire need of swimming trunks, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep."

After saying that, he took off his shirt, preparing to go into the sea. Seeing Dilraba's terrified face, his previous sneer disappeared, and he reverted to his sunny, boyish image, saying:

"Reba, relax, I'll take care of the shark. Just hold on to the gunwale."

Ye Zi's changing expression didn't escape Reba's notice; she had been watching Ye Zi, waiting for a solution. Hearing Ye Zi's words, Reba stammered:

"Okay...okay, you...you be careful."
