Soon, Chen Ziyan could completely see what the ship looked like.
Just like what he had guessed before, it was a standard ocean-going fishing boat.
The reason why you need to get close to see clearly is because this ship only has the lights on in the cabin, and does not turn on all the search lights around the hull like them.
And then Chen Ziyan also discovered that the engine of the fishing boat in front of him did not start, but simply stopped there.
This kind of behavior made him very suspicious that this was the leader who secretly attacked them.
After asking Ruan Hei to stop the boat temporarily, Chen Ziyan took the binoculars to the edge of the deck and looked at the fishing boat not far away.
Because there were lights in the cabin of the fishing boat, he wanted to see if he could see what was going on inside through the window.
Of course, Chen Ziyan did not intend to peek in secret.
As long as the people on the opposite boat were not blind, they might have noticed their arrival. After all, they turned on all the light sources on the boat.
What he really wants to see is how the other party reacts to his arrival.
The most important thing is to see if there are cannons on the other side's ship.
In encounters at sea, unless it is a side-to-side battle, the role of firearms is limited. What can really determine the outcome is the cannon.
After the trip to the undersea tomb last time, Chen Ziyan’s first thought when he saw other ships was whether there might be artillery hidden on them.
He knew that there were very few people like him who blatantly fixed the cannon on the deck.
In fact, after learning that he bought the Hailiu Ship, Ruan Hei once suggested to him whether to dismantle the Jin Pilu Water Cannon or modify it into a movable one.
Otherwise, this ship will basically never see the light of day.
You must know that even on Coral Temple Island, no one dares to directly install cannons on their boats. That is to say, the sea willow boats have been thrown deep into the water caves, otherwise they would have been dismantled long ago.
Chen Ziyan also understands this, that is, in a place like Coral Temple Island, if it were the dock where he last went to sea, this gun would have already entered the game as soon as it showed up.
After observing carefully for a while, Chen Ziyan put down the telescope. He found nothing, let alone any unusual movement.
The fishing boat not far away gave him the feeling that there was no one at all. If it hadn't been for the screams coming from here just now, he might have mistakenly thought that the boat was really empty.
"Master Chen, what's going on now?" Hu Bayi couldn't help but ask because he was on the other side and couldn't see the scene here. There was no movement for a long time.
"Old Hu, come and take a look." Chen Ziyan did not answer, but called him over.
The surrounding situation is basically safe now. If the previous self-igniting paper boat was really caused by the fishing boat in front of us, then there is no need to be on guard anymore.
Hu Bayi knew that since Chen Ziyan said this, he must be confident, so he did not refuse and walked over directly.
“Is this the mastermind behind the scenes?”
When he saw the fishing boat, he immediately looked at Chen Ziyan.
Through the previous screams and Chen Ziyan's reaction, he had guessed something. When he saw a ship indeed appearing, he immediately understood it.
"Most likely, but it's a bit weird." Chen Ziyan nodded, and then handed the binoculars to Hu Bayi.
Strange?
Hu Bayi was suspicious, but he did not ask immediately. Instead, he picked up the telescope and observed it.
After a while, he put down the telescope, frowned and said:
"It's too quiet."
His feeling was the same as Chen Ziyan's. The ship was a little too quiet. If it was just for confusion, it was It shouldn't be done to this extent.
Because the other party is like this, almost handing over the initiative. What is the difference between this and surrender.
“Did something happen to the people on the boat?”
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly said. Although she didn't have a telescope and couldn't see clearly, she could basically hear the specific situation from the conversation between Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi.
Reminiscent of the scream that pointed the way earlier, she suddenly had such an idea.
"It is certain that they encountered an accident, but the question is what is their current situation? Could they have deliberately lured us there?" Chen Ziyan said.
Shirley Yang has also thought about this idea, but he is afraid that it is a trap by the opponent. After all, they have the advantage now, but if they get close to the opponent, or even get on the ship, their advantage will be eliminated. Smoothed.
After all, if one of his own people is also on the ship, he will definitely not be able to fire anymore.
"It is indeed possible." Shirley Yang is also a person with military qualities, so she naturally understands that Chen Ziyan's worries are justified.
Now they have an absolute advantage, and this advantage must not be given up easily.
"How about we just stay in a stalemate and compete with each other for patience?" Hu Bayi thought for a while and came up with such an idea.
He feels that the initiative he currently holds cannot be given up easily.
"How about we just try firing?" Chen Ziyan also made a suggestion.
He thought about what happened when he came back from the undersea tomb. If he hadn't acted decisively at that time, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly later on.
Anyway, it is now basically certain that this ship attacked them, so there is no need to talk about humanitarianism.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shirley Yang rejected this suggestion: "No, our top priority is to find out why the other party wants to kill us. It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. Maybe they There are other ships, so we can’t just give up the clues.”
She didn’t want to just give up.
Admittedly, doing so may force the hidden person out.
But that's on the premise that it's just this one ship. If the other party has other accomplices, the people hiding on the ship will probably abandon the ship and leave directly if they see that they can't do anything about it.
Being able to appear here, the other party must not be fishing, and whether exploring or collecting eggs, you need to use diving equipment.
If the other party has accomplices nearby, they can use diving equipment to leave quietly. The surrounding fog is the best cover.
In that case, even Chen Ziyan's hearing probably couldn't tell what caused the sound of falling into the water.
"If you want to find out what's going on, you have to go up and take a look." Chen Ziyan was not surprised by Shirley Yang's objection.
Because he also thought of this possibility, but he just wanted to take a gamble.
After the Trident became a ghost ship, he didn't have to be too confident at sea, and with elite soldiers and generals around him, he was completely unafraid of any conspiracy.
“Go up and have a look?” Hearing this, Shirley Yang hesitated a little. She also knew that going up to check now would involve taking a lot of risks.
After thinking for a while, she said: "I'll go."
Since you proposed it yourself, you can't let others take risks for it.
"I can't live without you here."
But this time it was Chen Ziyan's turn to veto it. He said, "I'll take Wu Shuang and Hua Hu for a trip."
He originally wanted to take Wang Kaixuan, because Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang needed to guard the water cannon here to prevent unexpected situations.
And his puppet armor is not good at performing reconnaissance missions. The best choice is Wang Kaixuan, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea.
Because when Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang could not move away, one person was needed to coordinate the overall situation, which was not something that Puppet A could do.
So if he wanted to take someone there, the only option left was Puppet Armor.
As for Huo Ling, Chen Wenjin and others, they are completely out of Chen Ziyan's consideration. (End of this chapter)
