Chapter 611: Prepare for a rainy day

As for thunderstorms, fishing boats are also equipped.

That is the lightning arrester.

Besides, he's a cheater, with Luck Value boosting him; even if he encounters thunderstorms, he should be able to get through safely.

Lao Fu Tou then said some precautions for facing thunderstorms, and he listened very attentively.

At sea, some experience doesn't come for nothing.

It's likely exchanged with lessons paid in blood.

A Qing raised his hand: 'If we can't use electricity, then in the rest room we'd be suffocated to death!'

Now they standing on the deck already feel stuffy, hot, and humid; the rest room is practically like a large sauna.

That's not enjoyment.

But it could be deadly.

Lao Fu Tou said: 'If there's really no way, we'll leave the fishing boat and head for the island.'

'If we can find a suitable cave, we can ride it out safely.'

Wu An nodded.

That's all we can do.

Thunderstorms aren't just about lightning; they also bring wind. The current calm, windless and waveless, is likely the prelude to a storm.

At sea, we're not afraid of wind; we fear times like this.

The sea is brewing something bad.

The longer the wind-up, the fiercer the move being released.

He said: 'Remember Lao Fu's words in your hearts.'

'The weather is likely to change at midnight.'

'If we keep watch at night, we'll work in pairs.'

'A Qing and I will go first.'

Mei Wu raised his hand: 'How about me and you? Last night A Qing kept watch, let him sleep a bit longer.'

Wu An nodded.

A Qing also didn't complain; his physique isn't great, he didn't sleep well last night, and today casting the net also tired him out.

Originally, when following the dolphins, there was time to rest, but he just played on his phone.

Now he indeed feels somewhat overwhelmed.

Lao Fu Tou and Mei Wu went to operate the boat, the Fan Clan brothers went to prepare dinner, and Wu An and A Qing weren't idle either, going to the tool room to fetch plenty of equipment.

In case we really have to land on the island, we can't just run straight up.

Fortunately, preparations are complete; all essential emergency equipment is present.

However, they've never been used, all stored at the bottom of the box; now taking them out is quite a hassle.

'Damn, what the hell weather is this.'

A Qing, tired, sat on the ground and muttered: 'The weather forecast said tomorrow would be good.'

Wu An said: 'Severe convective weather, forecasts can't be 100% accurate.'

Take out all the equipment, cover it with a tarp, so that if an emergency occurs, it can be grabbed at any time.

The island isn't far.

After sailing for ten or so minutes we arrived; Lao Fu Tou slowly approached the island and found a spot to anchor the fishing boat.

Dinner was made quickly.

Just over half an hour, mainly because simmering the rice took time; the seafood can be prepared quickly and cooked in one pot.

There wasn't much braised meat brought from home; Fan Xiao Zhu originally planned to be sparing, but Wu An told him to make it all.

Just taking in high protein isn't enough; we also need sufficient fats and oils to recover strength.

Next we'll face various sudden weather changes; without good stamina, we won't make it.

After eating well.

The sky grew increasingly dark, yet there was still no movement.

The weather hasn't worsened yet, the equipment is still running normally, so the rest room is quite comfortable.

We should have been resting, but everyone felt a bit restless.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

It's like someone holding a sword above our heads, unable to dodge, not knowing when it will fall.

Wu An walked out of the rest room; outside it was still stuffy and hot, this weather is abnormally terrifying.

He looked toward the nearby island and called to A Qing: 'A Qing, want to go with brother to stroll around the island?'

A Qing nodded: 'Sure.'

Actually Wu An was just asking unnecessarily.

The two of them packed the emergency equipment into a backpack, and A Qing shouted: 'Brother, I'll carry it.'

Wu An nodded.

A Qing shouldered it, making him look a bit comical; the backpack is huge, pressing him down so he can't straighten his waist.

Wu An set the small boat down, making a bit of a commotion, and Lao Fu Tou and the others came out to look.

Lao Fu Tou asked: 'You guys want to go to the island?'

Wu An nodded: 'I'll go have a look, first find a good hiding spot in advance; otherwise, when the thunderstorm arrives, we'll be scrambling and it won't work out well.'

Lao Fu Tou nodded: 'Alright, I'll go too.'

Wu An said: 'Just stay on the boat.'

Let Fu Yongning come with me.

Fu Yongning nodded.

His experience is also very rich, and he has truly inherited the teachings of Lao Fu Tou.

The three boarded a small boat and landed on the sea island.

After going halfway around, that side consists of huge reefs, very steep, making landing difficult at night.

It took over ten minutes to find a suitable landing spot, which was a beach.

The flashlight's beam was limited, and the three proceeded by feel, not moving quickly.

After about ten minutes.

After entering from the beach, they quickly covered most of the sea island, and only then found a hiding place on a small hill formed by reefs.

It is a reef that extends outward; the further one goes in, the narrower it becomes, with a distance of about ten meters to the cliff edge.

It definitely can block wind and rain.

Wu An walked around and said, "From here it takes ten minutes; the path is okay, but if the weather worsens, we'll come straight here."

A Qing nodded.

Fu Yongning said, "If we can't find a cave, then this is the only option."

The three were just about to set off when large raindrops began to fall.

"Damn, it's raining, and there wasn't even a sign."

"Good thing there's no thunder."

"Alright, make a mark, let's head back quickly."

The three walked back, marking their way, and returned to the boat in ten minutes.

Upon learning they had found a suitable hiding spot, everyone's expressions relaxed a little.

Wu An let out a breath and said, "Alright, don't keep dragging this out."

"Everyone, hurry up and rest."

"I feel like it's starting to get windy, and I don't know if the weather will continue to worsen."

Everyone nodded and went their separate ways to rest.

Wu An and Mei Wu watched the heavy rain outside, chatting intermittently.

On the other side.

The downpour was like a waterfall.

Ma Weiqun ordered everyone to stay inside the cabin and not come out, then separately called Lin Bin to the deck.

Lin Bin wore a raincoat, but it was basically useless, and he shouted loudly, "Uncle, with this heavy rain, are we still deploying the bionic fish?"

Ma Weiqun said, "What nonsense."

"Only with such heavy rain is it convenient for us to do our work."

"Being careful ensures a safe voyage; you wouldn't think the boss is so lax as to not have placed spies, would you?"

Lin Bin fell silent.

He silently carried on with his work.

At the same time, a pod of dolphins swam over, making incessant chattering noises.

The rain was pouring down, but Ma Weiqun didn't hear the noise; however, a sweep of the light revealed the dolphin pod surrounding the fishing boat.

Lin Bin also saw: "Brother, there are dolphins."

Ma Weiqun glared at him: "Why the fuss? Do you really think the dolphins will inform on us?"

"Stop looking, don't worry about the dolphins."

"Come help quickly."

Lin Bin responded with an acknowledgment.

He had just seen a dolphin acting strangely, as if it were staring at him.

He felt creeped out.

He guessed it was just a guilty conscience.

The two worked together to release the bionic fish into the sea; Lin Bin was about to leave when Ma Weiqun called out, "Don't rush off."

"Go get the fish spear."

"We're going to deal with the dolphins."

Lin Bin blinked: "Uncle, you said we didn't need to bother with them?"

"These dolphins aren't people; there's no need to kill them to keep quiet."

Ma Weiqun snapped: "What are you being sneaky about?"

"Although the dolphins won't leak information, they can be eaten."

"Hurry up."
