Old Fu started the fishing boat.
He even stopped smoking cigarettes.
He drove slowly, and Wu An didn't urge him. He didn't have any extra luck points to use right now, so he had to rely on Old Fu's skill.
In this situation, the more impatient you are, the more likely something bad will happen.
It's better to take it slow.
With sonar warnings and a relatively slow speed, the ship avoided several reefs and arrived near the Rongfeng smoothly.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker.
Everyone could feel the dampness with every breath.
Although it wasn't pitch black, it wasn't an easy task for two ships to dock together under such conditions.
Fishing boats are not vehicles, so there is no such thing as emergency braking.
Old Fu further reduced the ship's speed, and it finally took about twenty minutes for the Ping An to come alongside the Rong Feng.
originally.
Wu An planned to risk sailing the ship directly to the dock. Now that he had made contact with the Rongfeng, he could consider joining forces for mutual support.
Hai Shen came alone.
After exchanging greetings, Wu An said, "Given the current situation, there is a great risk for us to turn back. It would be best if our two ships could find a nearby island to dock."
“We haven’t been here many times, so we’re not familiar with this area.”
"You should know this very well, right?"
Hai Shen nodded: "I know of islands where we can dock."
"But there are reefs and forests."
Wu An smiled and said, "That's alright, we have sonar on our ship, we can easily avoid it."
Hai Shen's face lit up with joy: "That's good."
He guessed that the Ping An was equipped with sonar, since it had come from the Ping An. His fishing boat was old and did not have sonar installed. Once it was shrouded in fog, it became completely blind.
Old Fu didn't say anything.
In this situation, the worst thing you can do is hear discouraging words.
Even though everyone knows that docking on an island doesn't guarantee 100% protection against typhoons, there's currently no better solution.
Returning to Hong Kong would be even more dangerous.
Choose the lesser of two evils.
Hai Shen quickly returned, and led by the Ping An, after more than an hour of "trekking," the two fishing boats passed through the reefs and finally approached the island.
Unlike Survival Island, there is no suitable safe haven here.
Even if it exists.
Given the tonnage of their fishing boats, it would probably be difficult for them to get in.
After all that trouble...
The sky grew completely dark.
The fog hadn't lifted yet, and everyone's spirits were somewhat low.
Only Aqing remained happily oblivious.
I don't think it's a big deal; I'm sure I can get them back safely.
Shen Wen also appeared relaxed, though he felt a little heavy-hearted, secretly thinking that no matter what, he should always keep some luck points in hand to deal with unexpected situations.
After dinner.
Hai Shen brought a few boatmen over to play and inquire about the catch.
After learning about the fishing success of the Ping An, I was filled with envy, wishing I had gone with them.
Wu An comforted him, "There's nothing to envy."
"Even if you run far away, you'll still be trapped here."
Aqing added, "Yes, yes, you have to be alive to spend money."
Hai Shen smiled bitterly.
That's what they say, but it just doesn't sound right.
As the saying goes...
When it rains, it pours.
The Maritime Safety Administration issued another report, stating that the typhoon's intensity had increased and that it was accompanied by extreme fog...
This has caused quite a stir among everyone.
Old Fu, smoking a cigarette, watched Wu An enter the cockpit and said, "An, if you ask me, I can only tell you that we are currently anchored near an island and can only reach the island by small boat."
"Just like when we encountered thunderstorms before, we went to the island to take shelter."
"This ship..."
Wu An asked, "Give up?"
Old Fu nodded with a bitter expression.
The Ping An is a brand new boat worth millions, and it also has hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of fish on board. Giving it up would be a huge loss.
Wu An replied decisively, "Then I'll listen to you."
"Aqing, Meiwu, go and find the emergency equipment."
"Brother Yongning, prepare the small boat."
Everyone responded in unison.
Wu An picked up the radio and called out to Hai Shen.
Hai Shen responded quickly. They had all heard the broadcast and, upon learning of Wu An and the others' decision, sighed repeatedly: "This is indeed the only option left."
"You're really willing to spend that much."
Wu An smiled wryly: "Aren't you the same?"
Hai Shen said, "We're different. I'm just an employee."
We chatted for a while.
Everyone prepared their own.
Wu An left the cockpit and went up to the deck for a walk. He sighed to himself, "Life is unpredictable. Humans are really no match for the power of nature."
He's got some kind of cheat code; at least he's already made money from the fishing boats, so even if there's a loss, it won't be crippling.
What should those who bought ships with loans do if they encounter this situation?
They'd be devastated.
Just as I was sighing, a sharp whistling sound came from behind.
Wu An was taken aback, then climbed to the side of the boat and looked out at the sea, but of course he couldn't see anything. A Qing and Mei Wu also heard the sound and ran over: "A An, is it Tiger or Bigger?"
Wu An said, "It sounds like the call of a dolphin."
"But not a size bigger..."
Before he could finish speaking, the dolphin suddenly leaped out of the water and landed right next to the boat, splashing water and soaking Wu An and the other two completely.
Wu An wiped his face and laughed heartily, "It's a whole size bigger!"
Aqing and Meiwu were overjoyed: "Great! Great! There's hope!"
Wu An quickly called over Da Yiquan.
I greeted them and asked the larger group to take them back.
It called out a few times.
Wu An explained the situation, and Da Yiquan quickly agreed.
The dolphins formed an arrowhead shape again.
Wu An was overjoyed.
In this respect, Da Yiquan is quite reliable.
Upon hearing this good news, Old Fu was also very happy, and A Qing became smug: "I knew this would happen. How could Mazu sit idly by?"
"Da Yiquan must have been sent to help my brother."
"Right, bro?"
Wu An could only nod.
You're right about everything.
When I get back, I must go to the Mazu Temple to pay my respects.
He contacted Hai Shen.
Hai Shen was furious when he heard that Wu An wanted to go back.
“Ah An, listen to your uncle’s advice, don’t be impulsive. I know you’re reluctant to give up the fishing boat and the catch, but as the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood.”
"Our lives are the most important thing."
"You're still young, you'll have plenty of time and opportunities to work hard in the future."
Wu An was dizzy from listening and interrupted, "Captain Hai, I understand what you're saying, but... I can't explain it to you."
"In short, I am confident that we can return safely."
"Do you want to come with me?"
When Hai Shen heard Wu An ask him this question, he couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu, as Wu An had asked him the same question before.
He asked, "What exactly is your plan?"
Wu An thought for a moment and called Hai Shen to come up to the deck.
When Hai Shen saw the dolphins happily eating ice cubes, he was even more bewildered.
Relying on dolphins?
He looked at Wu An, speechless for a moment, but his wide eyes clearly said: You're not kidding me.
