The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 433 - 253: The Command Tower Casings on the Nuclear Submarine (Please Subscribe)
Xiao Pang’s words instantly shocked everyone!
What???
It’s not a fish that was caught?
What’s going on? When did even Xiao Pang start catching things that aren’t fish?
This kind of situation had never occurred before.
Everyone subconsciously thought that perhaps Xiao Pang was experiencing an illusion and had made a wrong judgment.
"Could there be a mistake?"
It wasn’t that they didn’t believe him, but it had always been only Fang Hao who possessed this special ability. Now that Xiao Pang also claimed to have caught something that wasn’t a fish, naturally, everyone started to have their doubts.
They wondered if Xiao Pang was under an illusion.
"No... I am certain, this is not a fish."
Xiao Pang was very confident as he tirelessly pulled on the thing beneath the water.
The object down there was somewhat heavy; Xiao Pang was using all his strength.
This thing was far more exhausting to reel in than any fish he had caught.
From the feel of it, Xiao Pang judged that whatever he had hooked this time was definitely not a fish.
In this aspect, Xiao Pang was very confident.
"Quick, quick!"
"Go over and help out."
Captain Han also hastily called the nearby Coast Guard to assist Xiao Pang.
Otherwise, Xiao Pang’s fishing rod was about to slip from his grasp.
However, it was Fang Hao who acted swiftly and was the first to grab the rod.
As he gripped the rod, Fang Hao felt a heaviness in his hand, the weight felt rather significant.
Fang Hao estimated that the thing weighed around two hundred pounds. novelbuddy.cσ๓
The object indeed wasn’t light.
An ordinary person would not find it easy to reel it in.
If it had been any later, Xiao Pang might not have been able to hold on.
This is also why fishermen generally have good physical fitness, especially those who go sea fishing. If one’s body isn’t strong, it isn’t you fishing; it’s the fish fishing for you.
And it can drag you into the sea within minutes.
Seeing Fang Hao stepping in to help, the others stopped their movement to help, so as not to get in Fang Hao’s way.
Everyone knew about Fang Hao’s strength; he alone was enough. Their help might end up being a hindrance and could potentially affect him.
"Thanks, thanks."
Xiao Pang let out a sigh of relief when his fishing rod was taken over by Fang Hao.
He had almost run out of strength.
The thing was too heavy; it must weigh hundreds of pounds, perhaps even more. Anyway, he couldn’t pull it at all.
He felt that if he kept pulling for a bit longer, he might have been dragged down himself.
Once he let go, he felt utterly exhausted.
Rushing over to the side, he watched Fang Hao effortlessly take over the fishing rod.
Xiao Pang wasn’t surprised at all.
He had gotten used to seeing this scene.
After all, Fang Hao could even reel in sunken ships and airplanes; a few hundred pounds didn’t need to be mentioned.
There was no questioning Fang Hao’s strength.
"What on earth is this stuff, and why is it so heavy?"
Xiao Pang was puzzled.
He just wanted to know what he had caught.
This was the first time he had caught something that wasn’t a fish.
He was extremely intrigued.
Meanwhile, Fang Hao was also somewhat curious about Xiao Pang’s luck today.
Had his luck turned out to be similar to Fang Hao’s?
Regardless, the object still needed to be pulled up to see what it was.
As Fang Hao exerted force with his hands.
Everyone’s gaze was drawn over; they wanted to see exactly what had been caught.
"Could it be parts of a nuclear submarine?"
This thought flashed through the mind of one of the Coast Guards, who very much hoped that they had caught some parts of a submarine.
But whether they could reel it in remained a mystery.
Only by bringing it up would they know the answer.
With the rotation of the electric winch, the line was gradually pulled up.
Slowly, the object underneath was about to be lifted above the water surface, with only less than ten meters depth remaining.
"What’s this?"
Someone on the bow looked out towards the sea in astonishment upon seeing the object that was about to emerge.
The other people also turned their attention to the sea and then saw the caught item.
The object that was caught was not some kind of submarine part, but just a... gasoline barrel.
Yes, that’s right, another gasoline barrel.
"..."
Upon seeing the gasoline barrel, Fang Hao had a bad feeling in his heart.
But he said nothing, only hoping it wasn’t what he imagined.
Gasoline barrels had been caught before; Fang Hao had drawn up one himself once before.
And that time, there had been a corpse inside the barrel.
But now... what could be inside this gasoline barrel?
With such doubt, Fang Hao still went ahead and pulled the barrel up.
"Gasoline barrel?"
The others were also surprised, even Xiao Pang himself was stunned for a moment.
He had never expected to catch a gasoline barrel.
It hadn’t crossed anyone’s mind before.
And seeing that the catch was a gasoline barrel, not the submarine parts they had envisioned, everyone’s spirits fell quite a bit.
If they had been submarine parts, it would have been exactly what they needed.
A gasoline barrel wasn’t particularly valuable.
"Please don’t let it be a submerged corpse..."
Fang Hao prayed inwardly.
Perhaps his prayers worked.
This time, the gasoline barrel that was pulled up truly contained gasoline and hadn’t been tampered with.
They confirmed it contained gasoline after checking.
At that moment, Fang Hao’s heart finally relaxed.
Whew... he had really been sweating bullets, genuinely afraid of discovering another corpse once the barrel was pulled up. That would have been truly troublesome.
Xiao Pang also sweated for himself; when he went over to look at that moment, he too was worried that there might be a body inside.
