The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 442 - 257: A Heavy Responsibility and a Long Road (Please Subscribe) _2
Busy with a flurry of work, everyone was tired after the handover was completed.
Take a break for now, by the way Captain Han arranged for someone to bring food to the two of them.
These meals were specially prepared for them, all with high-standard treatment.
Having special task funds.
It’s not just a regular meal.
You could even say that what they eat is higher standard than that of a pilot.
This is normal, after all, they are on a special mission now, and the treatment is also special.
Moreover, every now and then, supply ships would specifically deliver resources to them.
No need to worry then.
Logistical support is absolutely excellent.
This also allowed the Coast Guards on the ship to enjoy such good treatment for the first time; they were basking in Fang Hao’s light.
With such good treatment, everyone’s enthusiasm was even higher.
Working with vigorous shouts.
Everyone was spirited and passionate.
After eating well and resting, Fang Hao and his crew continued fishing.
...
At the same time.
The big stir at sea had also attracted the attention of the eagles.
After some searching, their satellites had located the movements of these ships, which stirred their curiosity with the sudden convergence of so many vessels.
"Why are there suddenly so many ships gathering over there?"
So many ships moving together is definitely not normal.
"Could it be..."
The eagles seemed to have thought of some key element, they immediately came to a realization, and let their satellite keep on tracking these ships, wanting to see what was going on.
To see if they could gather some intelligence.
They even planned to dispatch reconnaissance planes over...
But these planes had just arrived when they were discovered and driven away by us.
As for the satellites, we had already taken some measures, so the eagles’ satellites didn’t find anything.
So even though the eagles’ satellites were constantly surveilling from above, they didn’t discover much.
Although they harbored doubts, they couldn’t find any clues and didn’t know what exactly had been caught.
Yet they weren’t ready to give up and continued tracking with their satellites.
It was rare to lock onto a trace, and this time they wouldn’t let the opportunity slip away so easily.
This was the best approach when Fang Hao wasn’t live streaming.
...
Fang Hao and Xiao Pang continued fishing.
Xiao Pang hoped once again that he could catch something different, like the time he caught a barrel, and not just fish.
But wishes and reality are sometimes opposite.
He soon caught a fish.
A fish weighing about three to four kilograms, not too big.
Xiao Pang had a disdainful look on his face.
Seeing that expression, Fang Hao even felt the urge to kick him.
Damn, you’re still picky about it.
Fang Hao actually wanted to catch a fish, but just couldn’t.
These fish seemed to be deliberately avoiding his hook, refusing to bite it.
He didn’t hold any grudge against these fish; why wouldn’t they bite his hook... Damn it!
Fang Hao’s rod remained still with no activity.
Just unbelievable!
That he still couldn’t catch anything this time.
Jiang Tai Gong went fishing with straight hooks and no bait.
And he could still go fishing.
Now, not only does he have hooks, but there’s also bait on them, how can he not catch anything? free𝑤ebnovel.com
Fang Hao always believed he was just a bit short on luck.
He felt that his luck would return later.
He had had bites a few times before, but due to some issues at critical moments, the fish got away.
Otherwise, he would have caught fish already.
It was precisely because of those experiences that Fang Hao believed he could still catch fish.
When his luck arrived, those fish would bite his hook.
This time, Fang Hao was fully prepared, he wouldn’t let the fish escape again.
As long as they bit the hook, he could reel them in.
The incident of the rod breaking wouldn’t happen again.
His current rod, not to mention these small fish.
Even if Godzilla came along, he might not be able to break this fishing line and rod; he could reel it in.
Fang Hao took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset, this time also hoping that luck would come his way and the fish would bite of their own accord.
Seeing Fang Hao and Xiao Pang both immersed in fishing,
a group of Coast Guard officers quietly asked Captain Han, "Captain, do you think we can still fish up any Mushroom Eggs?"
This was a matter of great concern to everyone.
They all knew that the difficulty of fishing up Mushroom Eggs might even be greater than catching a nuclear submarine.
At least the parts of a nuclear submarine are bigger, and as long as the broken fragments aren’t too numerous and are still relatively complete, the chances of being discovered are much greater.
But the Mushroom Eggs were different.
These things are too small in volume while in the sea and are hard to detect.
And with so many Mushroom Eggs lost on the seabed this time, possibly still 23 lying below, the difficulty of fishing all of these up has also greatly increased.
If you say you’re fishing one or two, then perhaps with good luck, you might catch them straight away.
But to catch that many... the difficulty isn’t as simple as one plus one.
It’s exponentially harder.
Yet they can’t ignore these Mushroom Eggs.
These things are like ticking time bombs at the bottom of the sea; if some external factor leads to these Mushroom Eggs exploding one day... the consequences are unimaginable.
The explosive power of a Mushroom Egg is very great, capable of destroying a city; if it explodes in the sea, the affected area would also be vast.
Moreover, the location of these Mushroom Eggs is still unknown.
If there’s an explosion at a critical location one day, then the issue would be serious.
This is also the starting point of their mission this time.
To prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
This hidden danger must be resolved.
After all, these things are within our sea territory, and we can’t just sit back and ignore it; no matter the cost, we must fish these Mushroom Eggs up and then process them properly.
A long and arduous task lies ahead.
This is their current situation.
Certainly not something that can be accomplished in a moment.
Everyone aboard had prepared themselves mentally, even for... sacrifice.
But they were neither afraid nor did they shrink back.
Each one’s gaze was incredibly resolute.
They felt this was their mission and responsibility.
"We must fish them up."
Captain Han’s answer wasn’t that we can fish them up, but that we must.
This was their determination.
If they don’t fish them up, they swear not to give up.
Soon, everyone’s gaze turned back to Fang Hao and Xiao Pang.
These two were now their hope.
The way they looked at them was filled with trust and admiration.
Up to this point, Fang Hao had shocked them too many times.
They believed that he would surely not disappoint them.
And just then,
a doubtful voice suddenly came from Xiao Pang,
"Fang, I think I’ve caught something that isn’t a fish again."
Xiao Pang’s words immediately made Fang Hao, as well as the group not far away, turn their attention to him, instantly invigorated.
Caught again?
Fang Hao was also somewhat surprised.
This would be the second catch, right?
If the first catch was by chance, then catching it again this time would be different.
It meant that Xiao Pang seemed to also possess such ’luck’.
"What has he caught this time?"
Everyone was very curious about what Xiao Pang had caught this time.
Fang Hao was also very curious.
However, judging by Xiao Pang’s reaction, it seemed that the weight of the item he caught this time wasn’t too heavy.
"Probably a few dozen pounds."
That was Xiao Pang’s estimation.
He wasn’t very precise in his guess.
But he could still pull it up.
So his estimate was an item weighing a few dozen pounds.
As for something weighing several hundred pounds, several tons - that was impossible.
Such an item wasn’t something he could fish up.
He didn’t have a body or strength like Fang Hao’s.
Since Xiao Pang could pull it up himself, Fang Hao didn’t go over to help him.
He just stood by, waiting to see what Xiao Pang would bring up this time.
