Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 7 Giant Tuna

Chen Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

On the boundless sea, a huge black shadow approached like a high-speed train.

Only then did he see it for what it really was.

This is a huge fish, with a slender body, thick and round, gradually tapering backward, showing a streamlined structure, and a slender tail base.

It has a crescent-shaped tail fin, and there are obvious ridges on both sides of the tail handle. There are a row of small fins on the back and behind the anal fin, which are somewhat like torpedoes. Its cross-section is slightly round and shines with a strange cyan light.

Looks like a tuna.

But why is it so big?The size of the tuna made his heart skip a beat.

Tuna is an important ingredient in Japanese food, especially tuna sashimi is a frequent visitor on the table.

Although normal tuna is also a big guy, they are generally only about 2 meters long and weigh no more than 400 kilograms.

But this one is far longer than ordinary tuna, reaching about 6 meters.

This size is already comparable to a big truck.

Chen Xuan's "Kunpeng" looked vulnerable in front of it.

Fortunately, this tuna didn't seem to be interested in him.

At this moment, this big exaggerated tuna is rampaging, as if it is a tiger entering a flock, and is quickly preying on the mysterious group of strange fish nearby.

These fish, which Chen Xuan had just been helpless about, easily became tuna's meal.

Seeing how it was eating, Chen Xuan couldn't help licking his chapped lips.

Previously, the laborious weaving of the net and the series of fishing activities made him sweat a lot, and his hunger and thirst became more and more intense.

"Brother, eat slowly and leave two for me."

Tuna must not understand human language, and he knew that this was just wishful thinking. The only thing he wanted now was for tuna to finish eating and leave here.

Then set off on your own to try your luck elsewhere.

Chen Xuan didn't dare to move at the moment. He was so nervous that he even held his breath, as if he had turned into a sculpture.

He was afraid that one of them would be noticed by the tuna accidentally, and he would be smashed to pieces.

His current strength is not as good as a fish.

Suddenly, the raft under his feet shook violently, Chen Xuan staggered and almost fell down.

Then, the raft actually started to move very fast!

How is this going?

The sudden increase in speed produced huge inertia. In order not to be thrown away, he could only hold on to the mast tightly.

At this moment, he touched the fishing net on the mast, and his consciousness suddenly connected.

Only then did he realize that at some point, the fishing nets scattered in the sea had caught a large creature.

It's that giant tuna!

It must have accidentally caught the fishing net with its dorsal fin while hunting, and he tied one end of the fishing net to the mast of the raft, thus driving the whole raft to move.

Chen Xuan was a little dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that it took a long time to catch half a fish, but in a blink of an eye, such a big fish fell into the trap.

The tuna quickly cleared the current area and started heading elsewhere.

The raft followed suit.

Originally relying on the speed of the raft, Chen Xuan was always traveling at a turtle's speed on the sea.But now with the power of tuna, the sailing speed has increased by more than 01:30 points.

In addition, tuna is the key fishing object.

Perhaps there is hope of meeting humans and returning to society.

Holding the mast, Chen Xuan looked forward to it.

Moreover, through high-speed movement, it can pass through a lot of marine garbage and collect it at that time, which is another fortune.

But he was too happy.

The speed of the tuna gradually increased.

Chen Xuan's expression slowly became serious.

Unknowingly, the speed of sailing has exceeded the limit of the raft.

Tuna swim very fast. According to records, their instantaneous speed can reach 160 kilometers per hour, with an average speed of about 60-80 kilometers per hour.

If this is on the highway, you will definitely be ticketed.

But the peculiar tuna in front of him felt faster.

The sea water seemed to turn into a torrent, crazily impacting every part of the raft.Chen Xuan, who was holding the mast, also felt very strenuous.

He even felt a little weightless.

No, if this continues, the whole raft will fall apart.

In addition, the current tuna only swims in shallow waters.

Once the tuna dived into the deep sea, he had no choice but to abandon the ship and escape.

At that time, God knows what strange creatures will be waiting for him nearby.

Chen Xuan looked at the fishing net, his eyes slightly reluctant, but quickly determined.

Even if you lose the props you have worked so hard to make, you must find a way to untie the fishing net.

It is unreliable to hope that the tuna can break free and escape the fishing net on its own.

But now I don’t have a sharp tool to cut the net wires. After the system adjustment, the fishing net becomes very tough, and it is impossible to destroy it violently with bare hands. Right now, I can only try to unbuckle it manually.

Chen Xuan slid down the mast, sat cross-legged on the raft, his legs were tightly hooked to the mast, trying to maintain his balance, and began to try to untie the fishing net with his free hands.

Right now it's like being on a roller coaster with broken brakes while having to fix the brakes and keep his eyes open for delicate work.

This is undoubtedly a very bold move, and it is difficult and dangerous, but there is no other way now.

The torrent kept rushing up the raft, slapping his face and constantly obstructing his vision, and he had to free his hand frequently to wipe off the water stains.

The originally wet clothes were almost dried out, and now they were drenched again.

To make matters worse, he began to feel slightly dizzy from the constant pitching of the raft, and he became seasick.

All of this is undoubtedly worse, making it very difficult for Chen Xuan to operate.

Not only that, the fishing net was also tied very firmly, with three knots tied in total, which he did by himself.Before, because he was afraid of being ripped off by the fish, Chen Xuan tied two extra knots on purpose.

Who knew that now it would become a difficulty for me to test myself.

Chen Xuan wanted to cry at this moment but had no tears.

The raft is like a surfboard being dragged across the sea by tuna, splashing huge waves along the way, leaving white trails on the sea.

After 5 minutes, Chen Xuan finally untied the first knot.

During the period, the tuna made a sharp turn, causing Chen Xuan to almost fly out.

There are two more knots.

The feeling of seasickness became stronger and stronger, Chen Xuan held his breath, bit the tip of his tongue hard, tried to stay awake, and at the same time increased the speed of his hands.

Another 5 minutes passed, and the second knot was also untied.

Only the last knot remains.

But he couldn't take it anymore, the bad consequences of prolonged hunger finally broke out at this moment.

Chen Xuan had the symptoms of hypoglycemia, and he felt a burst of collapse in his body.

The body is gradually losing strength, and it is almost impossible to grasp the mast.

At the same time, the severe dizziness made him unable to hold on, and he closed his eyes.

Finally, do you still have to hang up?
What about the chosen one?

boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise.

The raft shook violently, and at the same time, there was a loud cracking sound from under him, which was the sound of the raft breaking.

Chen Xuan felt dizzy for a while.

He felt that the raft at this moment seemed to be spinning at high speed like a spinning top.

After a long time, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

The raft seemed to have stopped.

He struggled to sit up straight and looked around.

The raft leaned against a strange columnar object, and the tuna was nowhere to be seen, leaving only broken nets strewn across the water.

Something seemed to be left in the fishing net.

In addition, this columnar thing seems familiar.

But what moved him the most was that not far away, there was a box of braised beef noodles floating around.
