Fishing boats are also equipped to handle thunderstorms.
That's a lightning arrester.
In addition, he's a cheat code with a luck bonus, so even if he encounters a thunderstorm, he should be able to get through it safely.
Old Fu then went on to say some precautions to take when facing thunderstorms, which he listened to very attentively.
At sea, some experiences don't come easily.
It was likely learned through bloodshed.
Aqing raised her hand: "If we can't even use electricity, won't we suffocate in the break room?"
They were already feeling stuffy, hot, and humid on the deck; the lounge was practically a giant sauna.
That's not enjoyable.
It can be deadly.
Old Fu said, "If there's really no other way, let's leave the fishing boat and go to the island."
"If we can find a suitable cave, we can get through this safely."
Wu An nodded.
That's all we can do.
Thunderstorms aren't just about thunder; they also involve wind. The current calm and still weather could very well be the prelude to a storm.
I'm not afraid of the wind at sea, but I'm afraid of times like this.
The ocean is up to no good.
The longer the wind-up, the more ferocious the move.
He said, "Keep Old Fu's words in mind."
"The weather change is very likely to happen in the middle of the night."
"If we're on night watch, we'll work in pairs."
"Aqing and I will go first."
Mei Wu raised his hand: "Let's do it together. A Qing was on night watch yesterday, let him get some more sleep."
Wu An nodded.
Aqing didn't complain. He wasn't in great physical condition to begin with, and he hadn't slept well last night. Casting the net today had also exhausted him.
There was supposed to be time to rest while running alongside the dolphins, but he was too busy playing on his phone.
I'm definitely starting to feel overwhelmed.
Old Fu and Mei Wu went to set sail, the two Fan brothers went to prepare dinner, and Wu An and A Qing were not idle either, they went to the tool shed to find a lot of equipment.
If you absolutely have to go to the island, you can't just run up there.
Fortunately, we were well prepared and had all the necessary emergency equipment.
I've never used them; they've all been stored away. It's quite a hassle to dig them out now.
"Damn it, what kind of weather is this?"
Exhausted, Aqing sat on the ground, grumbling, "The weather forecast said it would be good tomorrow."
Wu An said, "Even severe convective weather forecasts cannot be 100% accurate."
Take out all the equipment and cover it with a tarpaulin so that it can be retrieved at any time in case of an emergency.
The island isn't far away.
The boat trip took only ten minutes or so. Old Fu slowly approached the island and anchored his fishing boat.
Dinner was prepared quickly.
It only takes about half an hour. The main time is spent cooking rice, but seafood is quick to prepare and can be cooked all in one pot.
Fan Xiaozhu hadn't brought much braised meat from home, and he had originally planned to save it, but Wu An made him cook it all.
Simply consuming high-protein foods is not enough; you also need to consume sufficient oils and nutrients to restore your physical strength.
We'll be facing all sorts of unexpected weather conditions, so good physical fitness is essential.
After finishing your meal.
The sky grew increasingly gloomy, but there was still no movement.
The weather hasn't worsened yet, and the equipment is still running normally, so the lounge is very comfortable.
We should have taken the time to rest, but everyone was feeling restless.
This feeling is very unpleasant.
It's like someone is holding a sword above your head; you can't dodge it, and you never know when it will fall.
Wu An stepped out of the lounge. It was still very hot and humid outside; the weather was unusually hot.
He looked at the island not far away and called out to Ah Qing: "Ah Qing, do you want to come with me to the island for a stroll?"
Aqing nodded: "Okay."
Actually, Wu An's question was unnecessary.
The two packed their emergency gear into a backpack, and Aqing called out, "Brother, I'll carry it."
Wu An nodded.
Ah Qing carried the backpack, looking somewhat comical. The backpack was so large that it weighed him down so much that he couldn't straighten his back.
Wu An put the small boat down, making quite a commotion, and Old Fu and the others came out to see what was happening.
Old Fu asked, "Are you going to the island?"
Wu An nodded: "I'll go take a look and find a place to hide in advance, otherwise we'll be in a panic when the thunderstorm comes, and that will make things worse."
Old Fu nodded: "Okay, I'll go too."
Wu An said, "You should stay on the ship."
"Let Yongning come with me."
Fu Yongning nodded.
He was also very experienced and had learned a great deal from Old Fu.
The three of them boarded a small boat and landed on the island.
After circling around for a while, we found that the other side consisted of large, steep reefs, making it difficult to land late at night.
It took more than ten minutes to find a suitable landing point, which was a beach.
The flashlight's beam was limited, and the three of them groped their way forward, not moving very fast.
About ten minutes later.
Entering from the beach, we quickly covered most of the island before finally finding a hiding place amidst a low hill formed by reefs.
It's a reef that extends outwards, getting narrower as you go further in, about ten meters from the cliff face.
It will definitely provide shelter from the wind and rain.
Wu An looked around and said, "It's a ten-minute drive from here, and the road is fairly easy to travel. If the weather gets worse, we'll just come straight here."
Aqing nodded.
Fu Yongning said, "If we can't find a cave, then this is the only option."
Just as the three were about to leave, large raindrops began to fall.
"Damn, it's raining, and there wasn't a single sign of it."
"Thankfully, there was no thunder."
"Alright, mark it, let's hurry back."
The three walked and marked their route, returning to the ship in 10 minutes.
Upon learning that a suitable hiding place had been found, everyone's expressions relaxed slightly.
Wu An took a breath and said, "Alright, let's stop dragging this out."
"Everyone, get some rest."
"I feel like it's getting a bit windy, and I don't know if the weather will continue to get worse."
Everyone nodded and went back to rest.
Wu An and Mei Wu looked at the torrential rain outside and chatted idly.
...
On the other side.
The rain was torrential.
Ma Weiqun ordered everyone to stay inside the cabin and not come out, but called Lin Bin to the deck alone.
Lin Bin was wearing a raincoat, but it was basically useless. He shouted, "Uncle, it's raining so hard, are we going to make artificial fish out of the rain?"
Ma Weiqun said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"It's only with this heavy rain that we can get things done."
"Better safe than sorry. You don't think any boss is so trusting of me that he doesn't have spies around, do you?"
Lin Bin fell silent.
Do things quietly.
At the same time, a pod of dolphins swam over, chattering incessantly.
The rain was heavy, and Ma Weiqun didn't hear anything, but when he swept the lights around, he spotted a group of dolphins around the fishing boat.
Lin Bin also saw it: "Brother, there are dolphins."
Ma Weiqun glared at him: "What's the big deal? Are you worried that the dolphins will report us?"
"Keep watching, forget about the dolphins."
"Come and lend a hand."
Lin Bin responded.
He just saw a dolphin that looked a bit strange; it felt like being stared at by the dolphin.
I felt uneasy.
I guess they're feeling guilty.
The two worked together to put the artificial fish into the sea. Just as Lin Bin was about to leave, Ma Weiqun called out, "Don't rush off."
"Go get the harpoon."
"Let's get dolphins."
Lin Bin was taken aback: "Uncle, didn't you say we didn't need to worry about it?"
"These dolphins aren't people, there's no need to kill them to cover it up."
Ma Weiqun scolded, "What are you trying to be clever about?"
"Although dolphins won't let the news out, they can be eaten."
"Hurry up."
