In the midst of a downpour.
The fishing boat slowly started moving.
A pod of dolphins swam around the area, protecting the animals.
The lights of the fishing boats became the only source of light in this space!
The clouds were low and thick, and the atmosphere in the lounge was similar.
Everyone sat separately, in silence.
To save the dolphins, they would have to confront Ma Weiqun and his team head-on, which would not be easy, especially if a conflict broke out, and it was hard to say what might happen.
Everyone was a little nervous.
But no one flinched or backed down.
Fan Xiaozhu suddenly got up, found two kitchen knives, and gave one to his brother.
Ah Qing called out, "Brother Ah Zhu, is there any more?"
Fan Xiaozhu shook his head.
Aqing ran over and grabbed an iron pot, waving it around a couple of times: "This thing should be pretty lethal, right?"
Mei Wu and Fu Yongning also hurriedly went to find suitable weapons.
Wu An walked over and reached out to touch it.
Oh.
It really can boost your luck.
He quickly boosted his luck stat.
Although it can boost luck, he should still try to avoid direct conflict if possible.
Not long after.
Old Fu called him over.
Wu An got up and went to the cockpit, and Old Fu gave him the binoculars.
Wu An picked up his binoculars. The torrential rain was obstructing his view, but he could still see a casting net hanging by the side of the boat, with one end of the net in the sea.
Wu An's face lit up with joy: "It's a captured dolphin. Ma Weiqun didn't bring the dolphin onto the deck; it's still in the water."
"That dolphin is most likely still alive!"
"It's alright, it's alright."
His tone was full of surprise.
Old Fu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I bet the crew on these two ships aren't all in cahoots with Ma Weiqun."
"That's why Ma Weiqun released the spy fish during the torrential rain instead of catching the dolphins directly on the boat."
"But don't get your hopes up too high."
Dolphins are, after all, fish, and their vitality is limited. If they are caught in a net and left hanging on the side of the boat, they could easily be injured if they struggle.
If that happens, the dolphin's fate is predictable.
He wasn't saying this to discourage Wu An, but simply to warn him that the greater his hopes, the greater his disappointment.
Wu An nodded.
He was actually prepared to snatch the dolphin carcass even if it was just for him; he would do whatever he could.
If things were truly hopeless, he wouldn't risk everyone's lives.
Old Fu asked, "Should we go straight there?"
Wu An nodded: "Let's go straight there."
Old Fu didn't say anything, maintained the boat's speed, and headed straight for the two trawlers.
Wu An kept looking through his binoculars, but his vision was severely impaired. He wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but the net hanging by the side of the boat was still moving.
Wu An sighed inwardly, "It's a pity I didn't go look for Hu Zi after all this time."
If Tiger were here, the chances of winning would be even greater.
But Da Yiquan was worried about the captured dolphins and refused to abandon his pod. Wu An saw him shake his head in refusal, so he didn't say anything more.
It's a whole size bigger and very different.
His people, under his leadership, have shown great unity.
Old Fu shouted anxiously, "Ah An, the dolphins are speeding towards those two fishing boats!"
...
Ma Weiqun cursed and told the guys who got up to urinate to go back to sleep, and that they shouldn't drink too much water late at night in the future.
Although no one dared to say anything aloud, they were all cursing Ma Weiqun to the core in their hearts.
They all went back to sleep.
But neither of them slept.
They began to whisper among themselves.
"What do you think Ma Weiqun and Lin Bin are busy doing on the deck?"
Who knows?
"They're still busy in this torrential rain; they must not be doing anything good."
"Is Brother Ma leading us into smuggling?"
"What the hell!"
"But that's what everyone in the village is saying..."
"You idiot, others are just spouting nonsense, and we don't even know what's going on in our lives."
"Too."
"But Brother Ma is acting very strangely. Last time he wouldn't let us go into the cold storage freely. We had to sneak around. We don't know what he's hiding there."
They were chatting happily when they suddenly felt the fishing boat rock.
The shaking wasn't too severe.
"Is the wind picking up?"
"It doesn't seem like it."
"Huh, it's rocking again. It feels like the fishing boat was hit by something."
"What are you talking about? You think this is on a highway where a car parked on the side of the road gets hit? We're in the sea, how could we possibly rear-end each other?"
It then shook a few more times.
This alarmed everyone; they were all experienced fishermen, and they knew that such shaking was clearly not right.
They all got up.
After putting on his raincoat and going up to the deck, he saw Ma Weiqun and Lin Bin still there and quickly called out, "Brother Ma, Bin, what's going on?"
"The fishing boat was rocking wildly just now..."
Ma Weiqun wiped the sweat and rain off his face and shouted, "Alright, it's good that you're all up. The dolphins have gone crazy and are actually ramming our fishing boat."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this and came to the side of the boat to look down.
you do not say.
The dolphins actually gathered together and kept ramming the fishing boat.
"Go and get the spearguns and harpoons."
"Get the throwing net!"
"Get them done."
Ma Weiqun shouted fiercely.
Everyone hesitated.
"Brother Ma, that's a dolphin."
"Attacking this thing is illegal."
"I heard that someone was sentenced to several years in prison for capturing protected animals."
"Have these dolphins taken the wrong medicine? Why are they ramming our fishing boat?"
Everyone started shouting at once.
Ma Weiqun had a headache from the noise and cursed inwardly that if these bastards hadn't needed to pee, he and Lin Bin would have pulled the dolphin up long ago.
The dolphins are still in the sea, which is why the other dolphins are attacking the fishing boat like crazy.
Ma Weiqun is now in a dilemma.
If the net is pulled up, the dolphin-catching operation will be exposed to everyone. His underlings are easy to manage, but the people on the nearby fishing boats are also watching.
Ma Weiqun wasn't confident he could shut so many people up.
If word gets out, he'll definitely have to go back in.
Or just leave it alone.
But dolphins aren't humans. What if these dolphins fight to the death?
Lin Bin, being quick-witted, immediately said, "What are you afraid of? We're at sea, no one can see us."
"And none of us had cell phones, so no one was taking pictures secretly."
"The most important thing is that the dolphins attacked us first, and our counterattack is legitimate self-defense, which is legally called emergency avoidance."
"Don't tell me we were just chasing away the dolphins."
His words were reasonable and well-founded.
Some people were skeptical.
Lin Bin explained the meaning of emergency evacuation and gave an example: if you were stranded on a deserted island and starved for three days and three nights, you could catch a dolphin, roast it, and eat it without any problems. Otherwise, would you really starve to death?
Everyone thought what he said made sense, so they all went to get their things.
Although the dolphins' collisions weren't very severe, if they kept doing that and damaged the fishing boat, it would be a huge problem.
Wu An, who had been holding binoculars, noticed everyone bringing out weapons like harpoons and his expression changed: "Old Fu, turn on the lights, turn on all the lights."
"Faster."
"These bastards are going to attack the dolphins."
With so many people attacking together and the dolphins so densely packed, casualties were inevitable.
