697. Chapter 697 True and False Epidemic Ship 6


If it were the same self-igniting paper boat as before, it would never make such a noise.

And receiving such feedback, Chen Ziyan could only think of one answer, and that was that what appeared in the fog this time was a real ship.

There is no need to verify it, the dull crashing sound alone is proof enough.

Even if it wasn't a plague ship, it would definitely not be a plague ship, so his first reaction was to ask Ruan Hei to speed up.

After all, they fired without hesitation. If there were long-range weapons on the opposite side, they would only become a living target if they continued to stay where they were.

No matter how this 'misunderstanding' is resolved later, it is better to protect yourself first.

Because Chen Ziyan had spoken first, Ruan Hei had been preparing. After receiving the order, he immediately started to operate.

After feeling the Trident beneath him leave the spot, Chen Ziyan returned his attention to the shadow of the ship in the mist in the distance.

While guarding against possible attacks, he focused his mind to see more details.

But the next second, Chen Ziyan was shocked.

Because...

As he watched, the looming silhouette of the ship disappeared in the mist.

In an abrupt way, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Although the others remained silent, they were all paying attention to the ship's shadow, especially Shirley Yang, who was still controlling the Jin Pilu Water Cannon. She was watching him more closely than the others.

When she noticed that the vague silhouette of the boat disappeared from her sight, she immediately shouted a warning: "Everyone, be careful!"

Shirley Yang felt that the silhouette of the boat she had just seen might have been moved by the cover of the fog, and she planned to launch a surprise attack on them. As for disappearing out of thin air, she preferred some method.

After all, even seeing may not be believed. There is still such a thick fog around, so it is reasonable to use some tricks.

Chen Ziyan did not respond to Shirley Yang, but quickly climbed up the mast and kept scanning the surrounding fog.

He doesn't think it's that simple.

Although there are indeed many similar deception methods to achieve what I just saw.

But that refers to an ordinary situation, but you don't need to think about it to know that it is definitely unusual.

Now he seriously doubted that the ship just now was also a ghost ship, because only a ghost ship could easily do this.

Just like the Trident they were riding on, if there were no living creatures on board, it could transform into another form, a special form that could not be detected by the naked eye.

After waiting for a while, the suddenly disappearing ship did not appear again, and the few people slowly let go of their worries.

"Mr. Chen, let's find a way to leave first. This fog is too evil. It's okay to stay here any longer." Hu Bayi said immediately after wiping the white sweat on his forehead.

The tense atmosphere just now made his heart jump into his throat. Looking back now, an indescribable feeling of confusion and fear could not help but surge into his heart.

Hearing his words, Chen Ziyan did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked towards the cab first, wanting to hear the opinion of Captain Ruan Hei.

After all, they don't have much sailing experience, so they can't just think about it at this time. They should listen to what the experts say.

But through the window of the cab, he saw Ruan Hei, who had been silent all this time, leaning on the steering wheel with his body supported, his face full of heart palpitations.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan knew immediately that Ruan Hei would not be able to give good advice in a short time.

But it's normal to think about it. Although Ruan Hei has been sailing out to sea all year round, he probably has never encountered such a thing before. He can still maintain basic composure now, which is already considered extraordinary courage. It is indeed unreasonable to expect him to remain calm.

"We can't act rashly now!"

The next second, Shirley Yang's voice attracted Chen Ziyan's attention.

Her words were obviously in response to Hu Bayi.

Before anyone else could say anything, Shirley Yang continued:

"I can tell that the ship was still nearby just now. If we leave rashly, we will probably hit it directly."

Although Hu Bayi didn't say it explicitly, she knew the subtext of the other party's words, which was to speed out of the fog.

After all, if he took his time, there would be no need for him to say it.

Hearing this explanation, Chen Ziyan nodded secretly, he thought so too.

The current situation is a bit complicated, so you must not mess up your position, otherwise it may be self-defeating.

After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan finally made a decision: "Stay here for now, Master Ruan, you circle around the fishing boat."

Through his previous surveys, he could basically determine that there was nothing wrong with the fishing boat not far away.

If this is the case, then you might as well use this fishing boat as a prop, maybe you can use it to solve possible troubles.

When he was just observing his surroundings, Chen Ziyan was wondering what the boat shadow was just now.

He had previously suspected that it might be someone else's ship, but after the ship's shadow disappeared into thin air, this possibility was greatly reduced. On the contrary, the suspicion of a plague ship was greatly increased.

According to the development in the original plot, the plague ship does not have long-range attack capabilities, so it is likely to try to ram the Trident.

If the Trident was the only ship in the area at the moment, there would be no need to say more, but now there was an unoccupied fishing boat nearby, which gave them another option.

Not only can you rely on fishing boats to evade, but if you operate it properly, you may even be able to use it to counterattack.

After all, if the epidemic ship is not solved, it will be difficult to get rid of it. Chen Ziyan does not want to take risks like the original plot, so he naturally thought of this method.

Ruan Hei also recovered at this moment. Although he didn't understand why Chen Ziyan did this, he had a very solid temperament, so he didn't ask any more questions. He silently followed Chen Ziyan's instructions and began to circle around the fishing boat that was stationary.

Chen Ziyan's thoughts were not difficult to guess, and Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi soon understood why he did what he did.

After thinking for a while, the two of them understood that this might be the best way at the moment.

Of course, the premise is that the fog will dissipate. If the surrounding fog continues to exist, they will not be able to hold on forever.

This means that there is a fishing boat nearby, and the fuel on it can be replenished, otherwise the two of them will definitely persuade Chen Ziyan.

After all, they were at sea, and there was no place to replenish supplies. If they ran out of fuel, they would have to go on a drifting adventure.

However, Hu Bayi still reminded: "Master Chen, this is not the way to go. It's better to make plans early."

"I understand, let's take a look first and talk about other things later." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly.

He naturally knows the disadvantages of this, but there is no good way now.

Because he was more than 60% sure that if they accelerated rashly now, the silhouette of the ship that just disappeared would probably suddenly appear on their route. (End of chapter)
