My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 239 Blue Whale Predation

"Holy crap, it's so cold?"

Wearing only a thin long-sleeved shirt and a light jacket, Zhou Miao quickly shrank back and closed the door.

"Of course I'm cold! I'm wearing a down jacket!"

The cockpit was warm, so Yu Muzhou was wearing a thin inner layer, but his down jacket was hanging nearby, which Zhou Miao didn't see.

"I didn't notice, but the temperature drop is really exaggerated."

Zhou Miao stretched his body and waited until he felt warm before going out again, running all the way down to the living room.

To save space, the stairs to the second-floor cockpit of the fishing boat are designed on the outside; if they were designed on the inside, he wouldn't have to suffer this inconvenience.

But once I got my body moving, it wasn't too bad. I'm naturally prone to getting hot, so a little cold air didn't bother me.

That's why he was only wearing this much when he went night fishing last night.

When you're active, your body gets warm and you don't feel cold at all. Wearing too many clothes will make you sweat more and feel even more uncomfortable.

Luo Qianqian was just coming out of the kitchen with a plate of stir-fried dishes when she saw him hunched over and immediately felt smug.

"You actually went upstairs to rest? No matter how late it is tonight, you should go back to your bedroom and sleep. Your clothes are already out and on the bed. Go change into them yourself."

"That's not what you said yesterday." Zhou Miao was speechless.

"Do you know that women are naturally inclined to say the opposite of what they mean?" Luo Qianqian said haughtily as she walked past him, bringing the dishes inside and placing them on the table.

"Snap!"

"ah!"

His big buttocks trembled.

"So, do you like it this way?"

Luo Qianqian covered her back in embarrassment and anger, shouting, "I don't like it!"

"Snap!"

"Ugh, you stinky Zhou Miao, you're still hitting me?"

"You like to say the opposite of what you mean, don't you? I thought you did!"

"I like it!"

"Snap!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhou Miao grabbed Luo Qianqian, who was throwing herself at him and pounding her fists, and carried her to the bedroom, grimacing.

"Don't rush, let's find another place and ask you if you like it!"

Luo Qianqian paused, and was instantly terrified after realizing Zhou Miao's purpose.

"No, no, no, I like it, I like it! Don't do anything reckless in the middle of the day!"

"I like it! Then I'll try my best later."

"No, no, no, I don't like it!"

"Look at you, you're being sarcastic again!"

"Waaah, I was wrong! Xiaoxiao, help me!" Knowing she couldn't escape being beaten, Luo Qianqian cried and begged Lu Xiaoxiao, who came out of the kitchen, for help.

But as her best friend, all she could do was show a helpless expression.

She might help out occasionally, since she really likes Zhou Miao and won't miss any opportunity to get close to him.

Unfortunately, my period just started this morning, so I had to behave myself all day.

Luo Qianqian was on the verge of tears, partly because she felt that during the week she was on the ship, no one was there to help her share Zhou Miao's firepower.

An hour later, Zhou Miao changed into a fleece-lined fishing suit that he had bought but never worn before and came out to have lunch.

Yu Muzhou and Zhang Shuman had already eaten and returned to the cockpit to continue sailing, so only Lu Xiaoxiao was left in the living room.

"Where's Qianqian? Can't she get out?"

"It's not that exaggerated, he's still taking a shower!"

"Oh, okay, I'll heat up that dish for you."

Just as Zhou Miao started eating, Luo Qianqian, with a ruddy complexion, came out with a slightly resentful expression.

My gait is normal, just a little weak in the legs.

She sat down next to Zhou Miao and unceremoniously snatched his bowl and chopsticks away.

"I'm starving. I feel like I could eat a whole tuna right now."

"..." Zhou Miao chuckled, and could only get up to get herself another bowl of rice. "How could you possibly finish such a big bowl of rice? Share some with me!"

Luo Qianqian glared at him fiercely: "You only deserve to eat what I leave behind."

Even so, I still divided up most of the rice.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to them, was speechless upon seeing this: "The only thing you're still good at is your mouth."

Luo Qianqian, who was being criticized, did not refute it; she was indeed feeling weak all over.

After lunch, Zhou Miao didn't go anywhere else but rested in the living room so as not to disturb Yu Muzhou and his wife's time alone in the cockpit.

The main problem is that the fishing boat hasn't stopped and is still moving, so he has nothing to do for the time being.

However, Yu Muzhou drove for several hours in the morning, so he estimated that he would arrive at his destination by 3 or 4 pm at the latest.

"Wow, Miao Xiaoxiao, come quick! There's a giant whale!" Luo Qianqian, who was looking out the window, suddenly called out to them urgently.

Zhou Miao, who was massaging Lu Xiaoxiao's stomach, did not get up: "What's so interesting about whales?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao removed his hand and ran over to look curiously.

Seeing this, Zhou Miao walked over.

"It's not that there's nothing to see, what are you doing here?"

"What does it matter to me if I say my mouth is ugly?"

As Zhou Miao spoke, he glanced outside and, lo and behold, there was something that looked like a sail standing upright on the sea.

As he looked over, the whale had just finished feeding, closed its mouth, and then slammed heavily into the water, splashing a huge spray.

Yu Muzhou upstairs had obviously also noticed the situation there and was heading over by boat.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Miao immediately understood his thoughts. Clearly, the footage of the blue whale hunting had led him to guess that there must be a large school of fish, and he was preparing to go and take a look.

So he went straight out of the living room and went to the edge of the ship's gunwale to observe the situation.

Then, as the fishing boat approached, Zhou Miao didn't see any fish, but instead discovered a huge swarm of shrimp.

The seawater was originally quite murky because of the recent rain, but now it has been dyed red by the shrimp.

Could it be a very large number of East China Sea red shrimp?

He decisively ran into the tool shed and found a hand-thrown net with a very fine mesh.

I bought this casting net to use as bait when I encounter schools of small fish.

He'll definitely not let the shrimp go if he encounters them.

Using red shrimp as bait is much more effective than using frozen Antarctic krill.

After preparing the net, Yu Muzhou, realizing his intention, cooperated by stopping the boat.

Seeing this, Zhou Miao immediately cast his net. The fishing boat was about 700 or 800 meters away from the blue whale, so the blue whale probably wouldn't come over.

Yu Muzhou remained in the cockpit, keeping a close watch on the blue whale. He was ready to move away immediately should it make any move toward him.

Despite being 21 meters long, the Flying Swallow appears rather small compared to an adult blue whale. If it were to be touched by the blue whale, it could be doomed.

Zhou Miao estimated that the underwater net had been gathered, so he wrapped the rope around the crane next to him and started the crane to lift the net up.

As the net slowly rose to the surface, a "splashing" sound followed.

The water surface looked like a boiling hot pot, with countless red shrimp leaping around on it.

Subsequently, the entire net was hoisted into the air, forming a huge bulge that was estimated to weigh two to three hundred pounds.

"Wow, so many in one net! That's incredible!" Luo Qianqian exclaimed in amazement, joining the fun. "Xiaoxiao, do you think we'll be able to enjoy shrimp freely from now on?"

"I reckon you'll only want to eat it twice before you don't want to eat anymore," Lu Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly.
