I practiced in the United States

Before this, Li Ang had never been exposed to the driving of a ship, but he had already made preparations in advance, that is, he watched a video of driving various small ships on the plane.

To be honest, this thing is easier to drive than a car. At least there won't be so many random pedestrians on the sea.

Today's weather is quite good. It is a rare sunny day in winter. This is also the result of Li Ang's careful choice. The weather at sea is no different than other places. The impact of weather is very great.

After Li Ang started the fishing boat, he began to move towards the direction of the map at full speed.

At this time, a luxury yacht was passing by near the Isle of Wight. In terms of size, this yacht was dozens of times larger than the small fishing boat driven by Li Ang.

There are no poor people who can travel on luxury yachts, but in fact, rich people are relatively rare. After all, the truly rich people all ride on their own private yachts, and the passengers on board are mainly middle class and petty bourgeoisie.

"Excuse me, is the Isle of Wight included in our itinerary?"

asked a young woman wearing a gray coat, holding a glass of champagne, and exquisite makeup.

This yacht trip is a free team building provided by their company. It is said that it is cheaper to travel during this season, and you can also see some scenery that cannot be seen in summer.

If Emilia had to pay for it herself, she would definitely not come, but in any case, this was a free trip, and she really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

Including the question she asked the housekeeper now, she was actually asking it knowingly. She had already read the plan in detail before the trip. She couldn't run away at this time, just to get rid of her annoying supervisor who loved to harass her.

The steward on the yacht nodded and replied:

“Of course, beautiful lady, this is one of the highlights of our trip, you know, for a long time, this island was the private property of the Jones family, only for their family insiders to visit.

But perhaps due to the economic crisis or other reasons, the Jones family sold the island not long ago. After it was purchased by a tourism company, White Island became a public tourist attraction.

The scenery on the island is quite good. While retaining part of the original flavor, there are also mature infrastructure facilities, beach bathing beaches, etc. "

Emilia nodded, but for some reason, her body told her that this island was not that attractive. In fact, the further she went in this direction, the more uncomfortable she felt.

After the conversation, she held the champagne in her hand and leaned against the railing of the yacht, looking at the sunny sea scenery, but her brain always felt a little unclear.

"Could it be that a glass of champagne made me drunk?"

Emilia frowned and asked herself. When she looked up, she saw the bald and greasy supervisor walking towards her with a small cake.

Realizing that Emilia was looking at him, the bald manager immediately put on a wrinkled smile on his face, but before he could speak, there was a sudden loud crash from under the boat, and the yacht shook.

Emilia's champagne and the director's small cake all fell to the ground.

There were bursts of exclamations and screams from the crowd.

"What's going on? I need an explanation."

"Did we hit a rock? But it's obviously still some distance from the island."

"Damn it, my Burberry shirt was ruined by this glass of wine, you have to pay for it!"

For a time, the entire yacht became more lively than ever before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't panic. It was probably just an unlucky big fish that hit our yacht just now. The captain has urgently confirmed that there are no reefs nearby."

The person in charge of this yacht tour quickly stepped forward to calm everyone's emotions.

In fact, reefs, which are rocks or reefs located under the water, are usually marked on nautical charts because they are very dangerous to ships.

However, people with a little knowledge of the ocean also subconsciously doubted the big fish he mentioned. How big of a fish must it be to shake a luxury yacht? At least it has to be at the level of a whale, right?

But the question is, will there be whales in this sea area this season?

Just when his comfort had just had a certain effect, there was another violent impact under the yacht, even heavier than before.

This time, we can basically be 100% sure that it was not because of the reef, because the yacht at this time was already anchored on the sea due to the impact incident just now.

With the impact, chaos arose on the yacht again, and it was even more intense than before.

There were also many bold young people who leaned on the railing to see what was hitting them in the water.

"Here, look here, Si Guoyi, what a big fish!"

Following the shout of a young man who was living a good life, many people rushed in this direction. For a while, the railing on this side was almost full of people.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man in a suit and black-rimmed glasses said:

"This should be the sunfish, also called sunfish. It is the heaviest bony fish in the world. It has a docile temperament and mainly eats seaweed, small fish and shrimps.

But its maximum length exceeds 5 meters and its weight can reach up to 3.5 tons. This fish seems to be larger than the record in terms of length and weight. Everyone, maybe we have witnessed a world record with our own eyes! "

"I visually judged that its length must be more than five meters, maybe seven or eight meters."

"No wonder this thing can shake our yacht. It's too big!"

"But if it's docile, why would it hit our boat?"

As soon as the little boy finished asking the question, the sunfish suddenly swung its tail and hit the yacht again.

"Go back! Go back! Don't squeeze me!"

Seeing such a scene, some people want to step back, while others want to push forward because they haven't seen it yet.

During this physical confrontation, the yacht rocked violently again.

"thump!"

Finally, someone lost his footing, jumped over the railing, and fell into the sea.

Somewhat ironically, the man who fell into the sea happened to be the Japanese young man who first discovered the sunfish.

The women screamed louder, the men remained relatively calm.

The middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses just now commanded quickly:

"Don't panic, everyone, just go get the lifebuoy and throw it to him first, and then put the ladder down. There are no humans in the sunfish's diet, so it won't do anything to him."

The crew on the yacht responded quickly. After hearing that someone had fallen into the water, they immediately brought a swimming ring with a rope.

He held up the swimming ring, aimed at it still flopping in the water, and then threw it out with great accuracy.

According to the falling trend of this lifebuoy, it should be just right to throw it around him.

But in the next moment, almost all the people still at the fence had expressions of horror on their faces. Only the Japanese young man looked at the lifebuoy falling from the sky with a look of hope.

"Bang!"

On the sea, a sudden large mouth with a diameter of more than two meters appeared under the Japanese young man, and then he swallowed the whole thing into his mouth, including the person and the lifebuoy.

Judging from the densely white teeth alone, he should be hopeless.

The scene fell into a rare silence, not because everyone was not afraid anymore, but because they were frightened.

After several seconds, an unprecedented loud scream erupted on the yacht, and then everyone scrambled to stay away from the railing. No one dared to go to the front line to eat.

Amidst the pushing and shoving of the crowd, some people were lying on the deck and were stepped on several times, some people were squatting in the corners of the stairs, and some people were even rolling and crawling and trying to get to the middle.

The scene that just happened was really shocking. The last time they saw a similar scene was in a movie. The key point was that it was much more exciting than the movie. They could even see the blood on the water after the man was swallowed.

The greasy supervisor who pretended to protect Emilia at first was now huddled under a beach chair, trembling all over.

Although Emilia panicked, she was generally able to calm down and felt that there would be no danger if she hid in the cabin.

The middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses just now began to doubt life. As a professor of biology, although this kind of fish is not the direction of his research, he knows something about it, whether it is from Wherever the information comes from, it has never been mentioned that molas can eat people.

In fact, even the action just now should not be possible.

Fish swimming mainly relies on caudal fins and pectoral fins. Generally speaking, large fish usually swim faster.

The exception is the sunfish. Because it has no tail, is huge, and has very short pectoral fins that cannot be used for propulsion and can only be used to maintain balance, it has no swimming ability.

Generally speaking, it can only rely on the swing of its two extra-long dorsal and anal fins to control its direction and move forward slowly or drift with the waves.

It can't swim at such a speed at all, let alone such a difficult action as jumping half of its body out of the water. This would be about the same if it were a dolphin or a killer whale.

Moreover, according to research data, its mouth should also be very small, which is inconsistent with the bloody mouth it just opened.

But in terms of appearance, it looks like a sunfish.

In this situation, he can only attribute it to a new species, or a genetic mutation in a certain sunfish.

Since this is the case, then those past experiences will have no effect. Maybe if it weren't for him showing off his knowledge just now, that person would not have fallen into the sea.

And in terms of being exhausted, I'm afraid no one can compare to the captain who is in the cabin right now.

Immediately after the collision, he went to the cabin at the bottom of the yacht to inspect the damage to the vessel.

The first impact only slightly deformed the bottom. When the second impact hit the same place, the deformation was already very obvious.

By the third impact, there was even slight water seepage at the bottom.

He doubted that the ship would be able to withstand one or two hits at most. If there were any more, it might really be doomed.

The captain quickly took command and headed towards the Isle of Wight at full speed.

Although the loss of property is distressing, in comparison, human life is more important. After all, if the ship is damaged, insurance will pay for it, but if the person is gone, he is the responsible person.

When the yacht sailed, even if there was no way to get rid of this terrifying big fish, at least it could prevent it from hitting the same place again.

But unfortunately, he still underestimated the intelligence of this fish.

After the yacht sailed for several hundred meters, it was hit again. The crew on duty under the cabin reported a desperate news that the damaged part was still in the same place.

Because of this collision, the cabin has begun to seep water into it. If the same part is hit again, it will definitely not be able to withstand it.

After several other tourists in the cabin discovered the water seepage, they immediately spread the news to the entire ship.

At this time, people on the deck had fallen into deep despair and could only pray that the yacht could reach the Isle of Wight as soon as possible, so that they still had a glimmer of hope.

Or a large rescue ship could come and rescue them as soon as possible.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed:

"Look, there is a boat coming over there!"

At this time, the people who were still on the deck looked in the direction of his finger, and found that the so-called ship was just a small fishing boat. After that, the hope that had finally risen turned into despair again.

What can this small fishing boat do? The big fish just now is probably bigger than his boat.

There are also kind people who warn the small fishing boat and signal him not to come over.

"Don't come over! It's dangerous here!"

Emilia waved her hands desperately and shouted loudly in the direction of the fishing boat.

She had seen clearly that there was only one person on the small fishing boat. If it was hit, the boat would be destroyed and everyone would die.

"Quiet, Emilia! Are you going to hurt everyone?"

At some point, the bald supervisor who was curled up under the beach chair just now came out from underneath again.

At this time, he was righteously accusing Emilia:

"If he attracts this terrifying piranha, our yacht may not be hit once, and maybe we can safely drive to the island and dock. We only need to sacrifice him to save our boat. Isn't this a good thing?"

As these words were spoken, many people actually stood up to support his remarks, but there were also many people who opposed him, saying that a person's life is also a life.

As the two sides were arguing about this matter, suddenly there was a new change on the sea.

The huge sunfish, just emerging from the water, was suddenly hit in the head by several consecutive shots.

The person who fired the gun was the young man on the small fishing boat. (End of this chapter)
