The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 438 - 255 Shock! Caught a Mushroom... (Please Subscribe)_2

Captain Han’s brows furrowed slightly; it seemed... as though he had thought of something, and his expression immediately turned serious.

If this thing really was what he thought it was, then it definitely wasn’t a trivial matter.

"Steady yourself, whatever you do, don’t shake it."

Captain Han promptly instructed Fang Hao to stabilize it.

"???" Fang Hao didn’t understand Captain Han’s intention, but stabilizing this object wasn’t difficult for him.

For him, it was a minor issue.

Not to mention stabilizing it momentarily, he could manage to do so even for an extended period.

The others were also bewildered.

"Could it be some kind of missile?"

Someone suggested.

Hey, no one had brought this up before, but once mentioned, many people swiftly began to realize.

Their thoughts had just been circling around torpedoes and detectors, so they had neglected the possibility of missiles.

"But this thing is way too long."

"Even if it was a missile, it couldn’t possibly be this long and big."

Some of them had seen anti-ship missiles and surface-to-air missiles before, but none had seen any with such a large and long exterior.

They felt this was unlikely.

"What if this thing isn’t an ordinary missile?" The words of one Coast Guard member suddenly alarmed everyone.

"Not an ordinary missile?"

"Do you mean to say it’s…"

Someone quickly guessed, their eyes widening in an instant.

If it really was that thing... then they’d hit the jackpot.

No wonder Captain Han’s expression had turned serious so suddenly, and why he quickly returned to the control room; probably because the Captain had recognized what it was.

Whew...

After a group of people came to this realization, the atmosphere on the ship changed dramatically.

"Bro, what’s happening?"

Xiao Pang felt it strange; why had the atmosphere on the ship suddenly taken on such a subtle turn?

And looking at everyone’s expressions, why did they seem more afraid of this object than he was?

"No, nothing’s wrong."

"This thing isn’t a torpedo, right?" Xiao Pang was most concerned about this.

As long as it wasn’t a torpedo, everything else was negotiable.

"It’s not," the Coast Guard shook his head, indicating the object was not a torpedo.

Hearing it wasn’t a torpedo, Xiao Pang’s heart instantly settled down quite a bit, feeling reassured.

If it wasn’t a torpedo, what was there to fear?

"Then do you know what this is?" Xiao Pang’s tone also became much more relaxed.

"If I’ve guessed correctly, it might be a Mushroom Egg."

Screech.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pang’s face instantly stiffened.

All traces of a smile froze on his face.

He didn’t mishear, did he???

Mushroom Egg??

What kind of joke was that?

"Bro, stop kidding around."

Fishing here and now they’d caught a Mushroom Egg?

He was just here to fish, not to risk his life.

This was no joke to make light of.

This kind of joke shouldn’t be played.

"I don’t know either, but I think the probability that it’s a Mushroom Egg is pretty high," said the Coast Guard members, indicating they weren’t joking either.

But whether it was or wasn’t still had to be confirmed in the end.

If this really was a Mushroom Egg, then the problem was different. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Let’s wait for Captain Han to come back."

Now everyone was waiting for Captain Han to come back to ascertain what this object really was.

Then Xiao Pang looked towards Fang Hao.

For him, Fang Hao was his greatest source of security.

"Hao bro, what... do you think this is?"

Fang Hao currently also didn’t know what he had caught; he was still a certain distance from the object, and Mechanical Eye couldn’t yet see any information about it.

Unless... he could reel it up and lay it horizontally on the deck.

Only after a close encounter would he know what it was.

But since Captain Han had just told him to hold it steady and not move, it wasn’t a good time to reel it in; they still had to wait for Captain Han to return.

A few minutes later, Captain Han, who had hurriedly left earlier, quickly returned.

Captain Han’s expression grew even more serious.

"Now I’m going to announce something."

"Today’s incident is top secret, everything must remain confidential, no one is allowed to disclose anything."

"What we’ve caught right now is a submarine-launched Mushroom Egg."

With those words, quite a stir was caused on board the ship.

Although everyone had guessed it before, when they heard Captain Han’s words, they were still taken aback.

This thing is bound to be it.

Now, Xiao Pang was completely dumbfounded.

For him, it was like being hit with good news and bad news at the same time.

He hadn’t even had a few seconds of joy yet.

Good news: This isn’t a torpedo.

Bad news: This is a Mushroom Egg.

Fang Hao, on the other hand, was much calmer; he didn’t panic like everyone else.

To be honest, what’s there to be nervous about.

If it really is a Mushroom Egg, being nervous won’t do anything.

If this thing explodes, everything within dozens of kilometers won’t survive, not to mention that he is right next to this Mushroom Egg, and he was the one who fished it up.

He wouldn’t even leave ashes, he would just vaporize directly.

As for if it doesn’t explode, then there’s even less to worry about.

If it hasn’t exploded, then there’s nothing to worry about.

So Fang Hao doesn’t care at all, instead, he’s quite composed.

Captain Han also noticed Fang Hao, seeing that he wasn’t nervous at all, he was particularly surprised in his heart.

This is really a big heart.

Even having fished up a Mushroom Egg, he remains so calm.

Such a state of mind is really good.

But now is not the time to talk about this, but rather what to do next with this Mushroom Egg.

Fishing up a Mushroom Egg is definitely a big deal, so he reported the news here immediately.

Originally, the higher-ups were constantly monitoring their situation, and after hearing his report, they were all stunned.

Fished up a Mushroom Egg... that’s absolutely a first.

Truly unprecedented, with no one to follow.

Such a feat is indeed something no one else could achieve.

After confirming three times that it was a Mushroom Egg, the superiors also realized the gravity of the issue.

They would send experts and other personnel to assist them.

This wasn’t an ordinary object; it was already very difficult for these Coast Guard people to handle.

It was beyond their capacity to cope.

Moreover, dealing with something like a Mushroom Egg requires special personnel, it’s definitely not something ordinary people can handle.

"Hao... Brother Hao, aren’t you scared?" Xiao Pang asked with a trembling voice.

"Why should I be scared?"

Fang Hao responded with a question.

"If this thing explodes, we’re all going to be done for," Xiao Pang said.

"So, if this thing explodes, we’re all gone anyway, what’s there to worry about. But if it doesn’t, then there’s even less reason to worry," Fang Hao said.

"Uh…"

That makes sense.

After hearing what Fang Hao said, Xiao Pang was completely stunned.

Mulling it over, it was indeed a profound truth of life.

Right.

What’s there to be scared of.

If it really explodes, no matter where he hides, he won’t be able to escape; such a close-range explosion would vaporize a person completely.

Not a speck of ash left.

But if it doesn’t explode, then there’s even less to worry about - everyone would be safe, so why the fear.

So, what exactly am I scared of.

You say a torpedo from before, at least hiding might help avoid harm.

But with this kind of Mushroom Egg, don’t even think about it.

Having understood this, Xiao Pang felt much more at ease in his heart.

Next, it was time to get this object onto the ship.

It’s no solution to just fish it in the sea like this, floating on the water.

The water is moving; a wave could come and knock this Mushroom Egg against the ship, leading to an explosion... that would be the end.

Better to get it onto the deck and secure it.

That would be much safer.

With everyone’s cooperation, Fang Hao also carefully fished this thing onto the deck.

A ten-meter-long object is indeed not small.

But after all, this is a coast guard ship of tens of thousands of tons, the deck is still quite large.

So like that, the fished-up ’Mushroom Egg’ was carefully placed horizontally on the deck.

Soft cushions were used underneath to prevent direct contact and collision with the deck.

After it was placed properly, they then secured the object.

Making sure it wouldn’t move around due to the rocking of the ship.

Once secured, there’s no need to worry about these issues.

After fishing up this object, Fang Hao also saw all the information on it.
