Chapter 256: The Boat Is Crawled Over With Crabs
Chapter 256 The boat is crawling with crabs
Early the next morning, Chu Mingcheng set out with two tools and arrived at the dock.
Not long after the movement of supplies on his side was discovered by the crab fishing captain who had been living on the boat, they immediately got to work and got ready to go to sea after having breakfast.
Chu Mingcheng is no longer worried that the fishery administration will come looking for trouble. After all, several days have passed, and trouble must have come long ago.
He guessed that it was the function of a plug-in, otherwise it would not be just the two crab boats that were causing trouble for him.
At present, it seems that the people on the crab fishing boat have no intention of using thermal weapons, but are simply causing trouble. Fortunately, his plug-in can easily resolve it.
After the preparations for going out to sea were completed, Chu Mingcheng started the fishing boat and set off.
It's only 7 o'clock in the morning, and it will be around 2 o'clock in the afternoon when we arrive at the crab fishing spot. The crab pots will be put down by then, and we can dive and transport crabs in the early hours of the night.
By the way, I left those people’s crab pots behind to teach these people a little lesson, letting them know that they will be struck by lightning if they eat alone.
Seven hours later, he arrived at the crab fishing spot and immediately dropped ten crab pots.
But all the ropes that were picked up next were broken, causing Claude and the other captain to collapse immediately.
Then they asked the boatman to take back all the crab pots and prepare to leave. They had to find other people to continue discussing what to do next.
Although they make a lot of money fishing for crabs every year, these people also spend a lot of money.
'Someone stole my crab pot?'
He had been in the water while cutting the rope to transport the king crab, and he held his breath long enough to make him feel suffocated underwater for the first time.
In the past, when they blocked ships, they could catch some king crabs and other seafood and sell them. They could make some economic profits without losing money.
Even though there were not many lights at night, he saw a crab fishing boat on the water.
They also have to be careful. The only reckless man is currently lying in the hospital with a moderate concussion that prevents him from going to sea for the time being.
He remembered that when he first gained the ability to swim freely, the information in the aquatic product illustrated book at that time was that he could swim underwater for two hours.
After cutting the ropes, he moved the king crab to his crab pot.
He simply thought it would be troublesome to go to the police station to talk, but thinking about the behavior of these crab fishermen, he finally thought that they should be punished to let them know that people should not be too arrogant.
But these two times they put crab pots in, they didn't catch a few king crabs that met the specifications.
At twelve o'clock at night, Chu Mingcheng put on his diving suit and secretly went into the water as before.
Only Chu Mingcheng's excellent physical fitness was able to cut off all these ropes in one breath.
Now his mind has changed. He doesn't care how many king crabs the other party catches, as long as they don't come back after being driven away.
Although I still can't find the reason why the opponent returned with a full load the previous two times but I had an air force, this time the opponent finally had an air force.
At present, two hundred crab pots are released at one time, which can be regarded as a giveaway.
The corners of his mouth turned up, and he did not look any further, but dived to the bottom of the water again.
"Is it a ghost?"
"Maybe you're right, I don't know who else can do it but God."
Just when they were collecting the crab pots, something happened that alarmed them. The ropes of three crab pots were broken.
"What's going on? Why did these ropes break?"
Therefore, the blockade of Chu Mingcheng this time is not a small pressure for this group of crab fishermen, because the company does not care and they can only rely on themselves.
Their departure allowed him to finally catch king crabs.
When the crab pot was about to emerge from the water, he let go of his hand.
Judging from the current situation, his maximum activity time in the water should be three hours.
Chu Mingcheng immediately began to swim towards the surface of the water, and at the same time looked at the time on his diving watch, which was two hours and forty-three minutes.
Two hundred crab pots were left behind, so he probably had to go to the police station to have a talk.
Now that one hour has been added, is it a change brought about by stronger physical fitness?
Chu Mingcheng didn't pay much attention to this detail. He returned to the fishing boat, took a shower, cleaned the diving suit and put it to dry, and then went back to play games.
It turns out that this thing is really easy to use. Once pressed, the rope is cut immediately.
The remaining people didn't want to be the first to kill Chu Mingcheng and send themselves in to help others.
Moreover, they also have people keeping watch at night, so of course they will know if there is a ship approaching.
The large crab pots on the outside are all filled with king crabs, and some crab pots have bundles of ropes on them.
So the two captains immediately went to see the surveillance camera. Apart from secretly cutting the rope on the ship, they couldn't think of any other way.
"Perhaps it is God's punishment. He feels that our behavior has gone too far?"
This kind of crab pots for catching king crabs are very expensive. His small crab pots cost AUD 1,000 each, and the larger crab pots are estimated to cost AUD 2,000. Two hundred crab pots are AUD 400,000.
And the crime tool has been buried by him in a sand bed on the seabed. Maybe it will become evidence of prehistoric civilization hundreds of millions of years later?
But Claude didn't need to know how it was broken. A series of ropes broke, and any fool knew it was man-made.
Chu Mingcheng was not far away. When they saw the empty crab pots being put back in and then they continued to salvage their other crab pots, they immediately understood why they did this.
He will collect the crab pots this time in the morning. It will probably be interesting to see the shocked expressions of the crab fishermen then.
As a result, everything was normal in the surveillance, and nothing strange could be found at all.
Lest this accident make other people who are eyeing King Crab think that they can also get a share of King Crab, and if the company ignores it like this time, then it will be a real trouble.
A series of impossible words came out of his mouth!
Now that they were facing Chu Mingcheng, they had no choice but to do anything.
"Hey, it's so big?" After a short meeting, Chu Mingcheng accidentally raised his head to observe the situation. When he saw two boats on the sea putting crab pots, he was a little surprised.
Then drive the boat out of this range to the side, make room for the crab boats that are following, and let them release crab pots.
It's just that the cutting is not like cutting the cable in two directly, there will be a little residue and the cutting is not thorough enough.
The cost of the ship going out to sea, the daily food consumption, and the wages of the boatmen, etc. all need to be shared equally between the two captains and the crab fishing team behind them, so a lot of money has been lost.
The annual maintenance of the crab fishing boat alone costs a lot of money, and the daily expenses are also spent on excessive drinking. Basically, they will only prepare to go out to sea to fish for king crabs or other seafood if they have no money.
Carrying two hundred ropes is not an easy job. Not to mention the pressure of diving, even using bolt cutters repeatedly will make your hands tired.
When the first crab pot full of king crabs was put away, as expected, the captains of the two crab fishing boats rubbed their eyes with their hands in disbelief.
Claude observed the cut where the rope was broken, but after being soaked in sea water, the cut had long since spread out like a twist.
Claude didn't dare to turn on the light. Fortunately, the moonlight was good today, and with the occasional use of a flashlight, he successfully salvaged a crab pot released by Chu Mingcheng.
They didn't even dare to touch the other party's ten crab pots, lest the other party record them and sue them for theft or robbery.
If this situation persists for a few more days, Claude believes that Chu Mingcheng will give up fishing for king crabs.
In fact, two crab fishing boats have been following him these past few days, which cost a lot.
Chu Mingcheng's harvest once again made them depressed. Apart from deliberately sabotaging, they seemed to have no way to stop the other party.
I just don’t know if they will find a suitable way to salvage it. Of course, the premise of salvage is that the cost of salvage is not comparable to the value of the crab pot, otherwise there is no need to salvage it.
However, although they called the police, they didn't think those civil servants could find the reason why the ropes broke collectively, because this thing was really bizarre.
Their attitude also made Chu Mingcheng think about whether he should keep all their crab pots.
Of course, he is not afraid of this. Even the strongest divers in the world cannot cut the ropes of two hundred crab pots overnight, even if they wear oxygen bottles.
However, there is no way to pull up the crab pot with this remaining point. As soon as the people on the boat reel in the line, the rope will break immediately.
Could it be that Chu Mingcheng secretly wore an oxygen bottle and cut it off underwater?
Is he also an expert diver?
The crab pots were put in very densely this time, and the outermost circle was still full of king crabs. Occasionally, one or two unlucky ones could be seen being suppressed by the crab pots.
Of course, these crab pots have been used for a long time and are considered second-hand at most. But they are still worth more than 150,000 Australian dollars. The loss is enough to hurt the opponent.
Chu Mingcheng used Life Transformation to refresh himself, then went to get some breakfast to fill his stomach, and then started the fishing boat to collect crab pots.
In fact, Chu Mingcheng rubbed his hands, so it was hard to tell how it was broken.
After lunch, Chu Mingcheng immediately put on his diving suit and went underwater.
At the same time, the possibility of Chu Mingcheng committing the crime was immediately ruled out. How many diving masters would it take to cut off the ropes of two hundred crab pots?
Chu Mingcheng had swam directly in the deep water before, so he didn't know there was a boat above the crab pot.
Some of them don't even need to be closed, as they will break if they can't withstand the force under the influence of ocean currents.
At this moment, Chu Mingcheng did not leave. He put all the king crabs into the living water tank, then ate lunch leisurely, watching the two crab fishing boats leave in a panic.
Just when he swam to the top of the crab pot, he was shocked to find that one of his crab pots was slowly rising.
They knew exactly how many people were on that fishing boat and never stopped monitoring them.
But this time the loss was too great. After much deliberation, they took back all the ropes first. They ignored some of the lost ones and immediately decided to call the police.
Chu Mingcheng first picked up the bolt cutters and tried to cut the rope on the crab pot.
When the crab pot was pulled up and there was no king crab inside, he immediately smiled.
He did indeed cut off all the two hundred ropes, but about twenty of them were cut off at the top, abandoning the float.
When he saw the crab pot, he immediately followed and grabbed the crab pot, then turned off his headlight.
At half past six in the morning, the sun has risen.
Therefore, after Chu Mingcheng made a cut, he ignored it and moved on to the next one.
The ten crab pots he bought were a little smaller after all. When the number of king crabs was very large, it was these large crab pots that caught the fish faster.
Therefore, before five o'clock in the afternoon, even the closed refrigerated compartment on the fishing boat was filled with king crabs.
There were them everywhere on the deck, and even the cockpit door was closed, preventing the king crabs from climbing in.
Chu Mingcheng estimated that the number of king crabs this time was nearly 4,000 kilograms, and he would be able to catch the full share of the catch the next time.
Chapter completed!
