Chapter 18 The Rushing Fishman Squad, Ocean Search
Ye Fan put on the fish skin coat, as if he were wearing a raincoat. At this moment, he remained calm and quietly waited for the rainstorm to arrive.
After resolving the issue of his clothes potentially getting wet in the rain, Ye Fan then considered the unexpected situations that might arise later.
Firstly, he may not be able to break through the area affected by the storm for a while, so he will definitely not be able to eat for a long time. It would be best to replenish his energy as soon as possible before the rain starts.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan walked to the place where he had lit a fire to grill fish yesterday and lit the embers again. He planned to have a hearty meal before the storm arrived to replenish his energy as much as possible.
Before long, the sizzling sound of grilled fish came from the fire. Ye Fan ate the grilled fish while silently watching the information on the regional channel, waiting for the storm to arrive.
As soon as he opened the regional channel, he was bombarded with messages of lamentation and despair. At that moment, Ye Fan glanced at the number of online users in the upper left corner of the channel.
[Number of online users: 68734/10000]
In a short period of time, another six or seven thousand people died. Such a death toll is undoubtedly terrifying, especially considering that the storm has only lasted for less than ten minutes!
Six or seven thousand people died in ten minutes... This is even more terrifying than a massacre.
"Boss Fang Hong, where exactly are you? We don't even have your exact coordinates, we can't find you at all."
"Yeah, Boss Fang Hong, hurry up and give us your coordinates so we can find you!"
Fang Hong: "My coordinates are [105.3, 96.2]! Hurry up and come over, you can only wait here for a maximum of 10 minutes!"
"These coordinates aren't far from me, only forty nautical miles. I should be able to get there. Boss Fang Hong, wait for me a moment!"
"It's too far away from me, it's practically on the other side! What am I going to do?!"
...
Ye Fan glanced at the information on the channel and shook his head. These people were too naive. Putting aside the question of whether they could survive after boarding Fang Hong's ship and handing over their supplies.
Just consider whether it's possible to reach this coordinate in extreme weather conditions like a storm!
Trying to survive in this extreme weather through solidarity and mutual assistance? That's practically impossible. Instead of wasting time on that, you'd be better off getting on your way.
Although Ye Fan was fully aware of the implications, no one would believe him even if he posted it in the chat room.
Because this is the only hope for most people; if this path is blocked, the final result will be death.
"What a pity."
Ye Fan turned off the regional channel. He didn't plan to look at it again for a while. The dark clouds had been chasing his ship for more than 30 minutes and finally caught up with the Fisherman. He felt the surrounding light begin to dim and the temperature drop.
It started to rain heavily, and the raindrops, once they fell onto the waterproof fish skin jacket, acted as if they were being kept out of the rain.
The water droplets slid directly to the ground, unable to even stay on it.
Seeing this effect, Ye Fan was overjoyed. He hadn't expected the fish skin coat to be of even better quality than he had anticipated. It seemed that he wouldn't need to worry about changing clothes after he broke out of the storm.
"Apart from Wang Da and Wang Er, everyone else should stop fishing."
".."
Ye Fan then gave another notification: of the six fishermen on the boat, only Wang Da and Wang Er had fishing rods that were relic-grade, meaning they could ignore wear and tear and automatically repair themselves!
Only fishing rods of this caliber can be used for fishing in such extreme weather conditions.
Although it's unclear what kind of fish can be caught in this kind of weather, there's no harm in giving it a try.
"Yes, Captain."
Upon hearing the order, the anglers quickly reeled in their rods and then readily assisted Wang Da and Wang Er. If they had landing nets, they would definitely have grabbed them...
Seeing this, Ye Fan was speechless. This guy really loves fishing. Even if he doesn't fish himself, he still has to stand by and watch.
After a few seconds of silent shock, Ye Fan walked to the railing of the Fisherman's Ship, gripped the handrails tightly, and looked at the sea surface where waves had already risen. Under his observation, some treasure chests from the seabed had been swept to the surface.
Based on Ye Fan's rough estimate, there are at least five treasure chests!
The sheer number of treasure chests scattered not far from the Fisherman's Ship made Ye Fan restless, wishing he could jump down himself and retrieve them.
However, upon seeing the numerous deep-sea creatures hidden beneath the ocean, he regained his senses.
Professional tasks should be left to professionals... no, to fish!
"Coo coo coo!"
Ye Fan took out the fishman horn clipped to his waist, took a deep breath, and blew it loudly. In an instant, the mournful sound of the horn could be clearly heard within a 500-meter radius of the Fisherman's Ship.
This sound was unlike any normal horn sound on the market; it was more like the roar of some species in the sea.
The sound was extremely high-pitched and had a strong penetrating power, even causing ripples to appear on the surrounding sea surface.
Not long after Ye Fan used the Murloc Horn, fifteen Murlocs appeared on the sea beneath his feet.
In appearance, their bodies are enlarged versions of various sea fish, with normal fish parts such as fins, scales, gills, and tails. However, unlike fish, they have grown human limbs and wield weapons made of fish bones.
At first glance, the scarlet fish eyes looked like red lanterns in the dim environment.
"It's done. They were indeed attracted by the sound of the horn."
Seeing this, Ye Fan felt even more delighted, as this would allow him to command them to do things for him.
So Ye Fan took another deep breath and blew the horn, this time silently giving the order for the fishmen to search for the treasure chest on the sea.
After another series of gurgling sounds, the fishman, who had just been restrained, immediately dived back into the sea and swam towards the treasure chests in front of him. It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could collect all the treasure chests around him.
Having finished all this, Ye Fan was in high spirits. Now all he had to do was wait for the treasure chest to be harvested.
Aside from that, there's nothing else to worry about. You don't need to worry that the Fisherman's Boat will be destroyed like the other survivors, nor do you need to worry that the rain will wash away the equipment on the boat!
It was extremely comfortable.
"Thump!"
Not long after, a fishman carrying a treasure chest on his back suddenly leaped from the sea into the air and flung out a treasure chest he had just collected, using the momentum.
