Chapter 263 -172 Wholesale Underwater Detectors (Subscribe Please)_2

“We might be under Rabbit’s surveillance.”

This was their greatest fear.

After all, they had infiltrated in disguise.

Being discovered would mean big trouble.

Lately, the Eastern Sea had been very bustling, so they didn’t dare linger too long.

Indeed, the Coast Guard were patrolling the area, and it was easy to encounter them if they weren’t careful.

This was why they wanted to retrieve the detector sooner, get it as soon as possible, and leave quickly.

But now, the detector they were supposed to retrieve kept disappearing one after another.

Clearly, someone else had salvaged them.

“Hurry to the next detector placement location, otherwise I fear it’ll be too late and the signal will disappear again.”

Xiao Pang was really worried, scared out of his wits.

After all, they were here to stir up trouble.

It would be really embarrassing if they were exposed.

…

Fang Hao rubbed his face, trying to refresh himself.

The more this moment persisted, the more he refused to believe he couldn’t catch any fish.

The group continued to fish in the same spot.

After about five minutes, Lao Gao finally caught a tuna weighing over forty pounds.

He scored again.

Catching a tuna put Lao Gao in a good mood, it was a great start for him.

As soon as the tuna was caught, it quickly died; the fish breathed by constant movement, needing water flow through its gills to breathe oxygen. Once it stopped moving, it couldn’t get enough oxygen and would die quickly. The difference between a dead and a freshly caught fish was significant, so it was necessary to quickly process and freeze the fish to preserve its freshness.

This way, even if brought back to shore, it would still be the freshest, tastiest tuna.

Seeing the other crew members continuously catching fish, Fang Hao felt so envious.

Why couldn’t it be his turn?

It was infuriating to look at the quiet fishing rod.

Except when catching something other than fish, the rod showed no movement.

Everyone was catching tuna, making him all the more covetous.

If only he could catch one too.

Fang Hao’s gaze turned towards the sea, hoping that he could also catch a fish.

That would be perfect.

But he had waited almost twenty minutes, and still, nothing happened on his end.

Xiao Pang had caught another fish, a real red snapper.

His luck was really good.

Compared to Fang Hao…

A soft sadness, a desolate feeling washed over him.

While everyone else was pulling up fish one by one, Fang Hao kept reeling in detectors.

Here it comes.

As he lamented, Fang Hao felt some activity in his hand.

Is it a fish?

Fang Hao’s eyes brightened, filled with anticipation.

But this anticipation didn’t last long before it was shattered.

Because he realized what he had caught again, that familiar feeling, unmistakably another detector.

The others, seeing the change in Fang Hao’s expression, quickly realized what it was too.

“Caught another detector?”

“This is the fourth one, right?”

“Damn, the host is awesome, caught another one.”

“See, I guessed right, I said the host would catch four detectors.”

“Four? Ha, it’s still too early, definitely more to come.”

Some other viewers argued, believing there wouldn’t be just four detectors, maybe more would continue to be caught.

This further piqued everyone’s curiosity.

The atmosphere was set.

Everyone only became more eager to see Fang Hao catch more detectors.

How many he could end up with, became the focal point for everyone.

As for catching a fish… that was something only Fang Hao thought about.

This guy catching a fish? That’s wishful thinking.

“Ah, I regret it now, I should have guessed eight.”

“I have faith in the host, he’ll definitely catch six.”

“…”

Now, expectations for Fang Hao had increased significantly, with the guesses clearly higher than before.

Who would have believed that before, the number of detectors fished up were used for guessing?

Normal people wouldn’t even dream of fishing up so many detectors; getting just one would be incredibly lucky.

But for Fang Hao, it was one after another, like falling into a nest of detectors, there was no stopping it.

He was quite helpless himself.

Again receiving an emergency call from Fang Hao, the Coast Guard was stunned for a moment.

Is this too fast?

It hasn’t even been an hour yet.

Previously, although they were thrilled and hoped Fang Hao could hook more detectors, they were still somewhat incredulous when they actually heard it.

This speed is really too fast.

And also a bit unbelievable.

This is fishing for detectors, not fishing for fish.

Even if it was fishing, there probably wouldn’t be such speed.

This also aroused a strong interest on the part of the Coast Guard, wanting to see how Fang Hao was managing to fish up these detectors.

“They are not very far from our coordinates now, it would take only about twenty minutes if we head there.”

This distance is already quite close.

They were even thinking of inviting Fang Hao to fish on their Coast Guard Ship, maybe then he could catch even more.

By the time they arrived, Fang Hao had already fished up the fifth detector.

Five!

A full five detectors, this was unprecedented.

And it was all done by Fang Hao alone.

The detectors nearby in this part of the sea were probably almost all fished up by him.

This number is really terrifying.

“So in the time just now, you got another one?” the Coast Guard asked incredulously again.

This speed is too fast.

“Yes…”

Fang Hao shrugged his shoulders, he was helpless.

But this time, the detector he caught was not from the locals, but from the sticks next door.

Even so, the previous four he had fished up had already scared the locals.

“Retrieve the detectors we previously deployed.”

“We’ve been targeted, we must withdraw immediately!”

“Withdraw, withdraw immediately!”

The locals thought they were being targeted.

They wanted to withdraw as quickly as possible and also take back the previously deployed detectors to prevent them from falling into Rabbit’s hands.

Fang Hao did not know that by continuously fishing up detectors, he had nearly scared the locals out of their wits.

The locals had only managed to retrieve two newly deployed detectors before fleeing in dismay.

They didn’t dare stay too long.

Luckily they fled quickly, otherwise, they might have been noticed by the Coast Guard.

It would have been much harder to get away then.

Only later when they got back did they understand the situation.

But by then, it was too late to do anything, it was already too late to retrieve those detectors, they had been sent off for an award early on.

And they did run early.

If they had been delayed a little longer, they might have really run into the Coast Guard Ship.

These people have sneaked in unethically.

It could have caused a lot of trouble and even conflict.

In this situation, it’s better to avoid escalation.

That would be real trouble then.

They weren’t ready to openly conflict with Rabbit, just constant underhanded tricks.

This is the most direct proof that these locals never cease their harmful intents.

If you didn’t harbor bad intentions, would you come onto our turf and stir things up?

It’s simply Sima Yi’s heart, known to everyone.

Everyone knows this nation harbors great ambition, a replay of wars from decades or even hundreds of years ago is inevitable.

So before when Fang Hao listened to Professor Ai’s lectures, it was full of passion.

These locals always harbored wolfish ambitions, constantly scheming behind the scenes.

“Anyway, whoever comes in the future, dealing with the locals is the right thing to do first.”

“These locals are full of mischief, the worst.”

“When Ms. Qiu gets married, just send the gifts over, those locals will definitely line up to welcome us, showing their enthusiasm in an environment of six thousand degrees.”

“…”

This was the topic they discussed in the classroom back then.
