The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded - Chapter 316

Chapter 316 An unexpected discovery in the warehouse

Grab the handle and twist it, but the handle has been corroded by seawater for many years, and it has long been stuck.

Chu Mingcheng felt that the handle was loose, and with a light tug, he pulled the handle completely off.

The lock cylinder of the door lock is necrotic, but the wooden door has softened.

Chu Mingcheng simply smashed the door, creating a hole through which he could pass.

He didn’t go in immediately, but waited outside for a while, waiting for the muddy water to become clear again, and waiting for something that might be inside to swim out.

This thing is naturally not something magical.

Chu Mingcheng was worried that if there were any highly poisonous marine creatures inside, it would be troublesome if he went in rashly and was bitten, so he didn’t go in immediately.

After a while, he didn’t see anything swimming out, so he slowly moved to the door, shining the flashlight inside, and looked around the entire room.

This is a completely enclosed small space, with a tatami mat and a wardrobe, and the space is only seven or eight square meters.

Obviously there would be no creatures in such a space, so Chu Mingcheng let it in and swam in.

After swimming in, he found an overturned small bed cabinet in a corner that he hadn’t noticed just now.

There are only two cabinets in this small room that can hold things. Chu Mingcheng came to the big cabinet first, opened the cabinet and took a look.

As a result, a mass of black squid ink-like matter came out, and he backed away speechlessly. It turned out that there were several clothes inside, and the ink was obviously the dye of the clothes after they faded.

Then he opened the other drawers of the cabinet, which were either empty, or filled with socks or underwear.

It was all cakes, and obviously the captain didn’t have time to clean them up.

Then he opened the drawer of the bedside table and looked. There was a manual razor in the upper drawer, and a lump of pulp in the lower drawer. These should be books.

Finally, there is a pair of slippers under the bed. There is nothing valuable in this room. Obviously, all the important things have been taken away.

Leaving the small room with a grim look on his face, Chu Mingcheng went to the second floor below the cab.

The second floor is full of rooms, and it looks like it should be where the crew lives.

Chu Mingcheng walked around the corridor first, and found that there are a total of fourteen rooms on the second floor.

These must be searched, what if you find something good?

Some rooms have windows, but he didn’t intend to enter from the outside window.

Come to the door of the first room, which is a room without windows.

Chu Mingcheng grabbed the door lock and pulled it lightly. As expected, the wooden doors were softened in the water.

He is so strong that he can directly pull out the necrotic door lock.

After the door lock was pulled out, the wooden door opened automatically. At this moment, a slender figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

It was covered in white, lying on the ground, and the broken clothes on its body fluttered freely in the water.

Seeing the owner of the house, even though Chu Mingcheng was mentally prepared, his body still had goosebumps involuntarily at this moment.

But he was still calm, but his heart was beating slightly faster, and he wasn’t really scared.

That’s right, the one lying on the ground is a skeleton, an unlucky ghost who didn’t escape in time.

Chu Mingcheng was silent for a moment, and finally closed the door, and picked up the lock to lock the cardholder.

In this case, he still goes in to search, what is the difference with the tomb robbers.

This man is unlucky enough, let him be buried with his own things.

After that, he continued to open the next door and continued to explore.

There is one thing to say, as long as you are brave, exploring the interior of these sunken ships is much more interesting than playing escape rooms.

Fourteen rooms, it took him nearly two hours to search.

The room with the skeleton was the first one, and he searched the rest of the rooms.

Didn’t find anything valuable, just found two watches and a necklace.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t have much research on watches, but the word “Modu” on the watch fully explained the origin of the watch.

Old Modu brand watches should be a product of the 1980s and 1990s. Even if they have a little collection value, they are not very valuable. One piece is about three to five hundred at most.

The other necklace is not gold either, the gold can still see the specific color under the underwater light.

This necklace is relatively thin, unlike the exaggerated iron jewelry, and there is no rust on it, so it is not iron.

The necklace shone silvery under the light, and he thought it should be platinum.

Silver will oxidize and turn black in seawater, so platinum is stable enough and will not change much.

This necklace is worth about 3,000 if bought from a gold store, but it is not known how much it is worth if it is sold.

However, with some gains, this trip to Chu Mingcheng is not empty-handed.

It will have been more than two hours under the water. He put the watch and necklace into the small net bag, and then swam back to the surface to breathe.

Looking at his ship from a distance, a light was on on the Poseidon, and the light on the top of the ship was also flashing. At present, the sea is very quiet, and there are no other ships.

Then he took a breath, dived back into the water, continued to swim towards the sunken ship, and searched for the lower layer.

Although there is no cargo on the deck of this cargo ship, the cabin is worth exploring.

It’s a pity that there is no cargo on the deck, and there are no scattered cargo boxes beside the ship, otherwise he can open the blind box to see what is in the cargo box.

Just arrived at the deck position, Chu Mingcheng was taken aback suddenly.

No, there are no cargo boxes on the deck. Could this be a mine ship?

Or oil or something?

After all, the shipwreck was able to clean up the cargo boxes on the deck in time, so there is no reason why the people in the first room would die in it.

There is always time to clean up the cargo boxes, but is there no time to smash a door to save someone?

Chu Mingcheng, who couldn’t figure out what was going on for a while, suddenly had the desire to go back to the first room to check the situation, mainly out of curiosity.

But after thinking about it for three seconds, he decided to explore first, and he would know the specific situation when he entered the cabin.

Chuming City Swim to the first floor, where there is a restaurant kitchen, as well as a basketball court and a badminton court for the crew to entertain.

Drifting at sea for several months or even longer, the entertainment room is also convenient for the crew to pass the boring time.

No valuable things were found on this floor. Chu Mingcheng returned to the water surface to take a breath, adjusted his state, and began to search the cabin inside the ship.

Going down the stairs, a few small fish were startled and ran around.

The sunken ship has become a natural sanctuary for underwater fish. When Chu Mingcheng came to the cabin, he swiped the flashlight and saw many rare fish.

The Tsingyi grouper was very disturbed by the light, and they all avoided the light at a sensitive speed.

Chu Mingcheng first checked by the stairs to see if there were any small rooms or something. It turned out that the interior structure of the cabin was very simple, and there was only a huge cargo warehouse inside when the stairs came down. This was the last place he needed to search tonight.

At present, there is still a flashlight and two headlights that are not used, so he simply changed the flashlight and turned on the headlights.

In this way, he can see more places.

It’s just that when you entered the warehouse and saw bags of woven plastic bags inside, Chu Mingcheng’s heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.

When You took a closer look, he was immediately disappointed by the word rice. It turned out to be a cargo ship transporting imported rice.

There was no goods on the deck. Obviously, everything that could be moved was moved away. As for the rice inside the cabin, it would be difficult for the search and rescue ship to transport it away.

Even if it can be transported, the difficulty of carrying it is still there. It is already very good to be able to save people.

At present, the rice in the cabin is scattered all over the place, some bags are torn, but there is no scattered rice at the break, obviously eaten clean by the fish at the bottom of the water.

The sinking of this ship is a huge loss for the captain, but for the creatures on the bottom of the sea, it is a free meal that cannot be eaten for a long time.

This also led to countless fish gathering in the cabin, the number is very large, it is simply a paradise for fish.

Chu Mingcheng felt pity, but he did not leave, but continued to swim in.

There are so many fish here, maybe you will encounter some superb marine life.

As for whether there are any valuables on this ship, he has given up hope.

Just after swimming about ten meters, he found a huge octopus next to the rice bag on the left.

The head of this octopus is as big as a washbasin, and its tentacles are entangled with an unlucky fish.

Then he turned his gaze, and a huge clearwater grouper appeared in front of him, with a length of nearly one meter and no ciguatera on it.

Chu Mingcheng’s eyes lit up, and he took out the fish spear from behind.

Such a large clear water grouper is too rare, even if it is frozen, it should sell for 151 catties.

This one, which is nearly one meter long, definitely weighs about forty catties, which is six thousand oceans.

This cargo ship has no valuables, but because of the rice, it has become a paradise for fish.

After thinking about it, isn’t this a natural fishing and hunting place?

Since you can’t find anything good, it’s not bad to bring some valuable fish back.

Finding a good time, Chu Mingcheng slowly leaned over.

This clear water grouper hides between the rice pile and the wall, and seems to think that this position is very safe, even if Chu Mingcheng approaches it, there is not much movement.

He didn’t miss this opportunity, approached the position where the rear fish spear was aimed a little above the pectoral fins, and then decisively pressed the button.

The fish spear shot out immediately, and the strong force immediately penetrated the fish body, nailed to the hull and made a sound of metal collision.

The Qingshui grouper was hit hard, and immediately struggled violently, the dust stirred up and covered Chu Mingcheng’s sight.

He just held the spear and stared at the fish until it was completely silent.

He then lifts the fish out and bleeds it with a diving knife.

The diving knife is small enough that Chu Mingcheng will bring it no matter what dive.

To deal with the clear water grouper, he cut a rope to tie the rice with a diving knife, passed the rope through the gills of the fish, and brought the fish on.

That is, the live fish buckle is not brought, otherwise there is no need to be so troublesome.

Then Chu Mingcheng continued to swim into the boat. After a while, he found a fish over 40 centimeters high on another pile of rice bags.

This is a black-and-white fish. He is attracted to this fish because it is called a black-backed snapper. It is a high-end and rare fish that he has not caught so far.

It can increase experience points, and by the way, take it back to give your daughter-in-law a taste.

Chu Mingcheng is not very clear about the exact price. This fish also appears in the waters near Xisha, Nansha and Baodao.

But just this one, he didn’t bother to sell it.

Come to the top of the fish, the spear is ready.

Looking at the timing, he decisively pressed the button, and the fish spear pierced out instantly, nailing the fish to the rice bag.

But Chu Mingcheng sensed something was wrong, the feeling was wrong.

The fish spear pierces into the rice bag and should not be blocked.

But just now there was a real blocked force from the fish spear, as if the fish spear hit something.

Not in a hurry to explore, he first took out the black-backed snapper with a diving knife, and then pulled out the spear.

After piercing the gills with a rope and putting it on, Chu Mingcheng removed the bag of rice above the pile of rice.

Then, he saw the suitcase exposed from underneath.

Hidden rice bag in the suitcase?

Chu Mingcheng immediately realized that the matter was not simple. Could it be smuggled goods?

How long the ship sank? Chu Mingcheng doesn’t know, but judging from the two watches, it should be in the 1980s and 1990s, and it is very likely that it was a cargo ship going to Baodao.

Smuggling was common and easy in that era. Unlike the monitoring everywhere now, the monitoring is strict.

Chu Mingcheng moved the rice bag away, and brought out the suitcase that had been soaked for an unknown amount of time.

He tried to open the suitcase, but the combination lock was stuck, so he could only force it open.

But he only had a spear and a diving knife on him, so Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to carry the suitcase first, put it on the stairs, and bring it back to the Poseidon.

But the fact that there was a suitcase in the rice pile also reminded him.

The cargo ship is so big, with so many piles of rice, there must be more than one suitcase smuggled.

So Chu Mingcheng immediately turned into a porter, moving every pile of rice to find smuggled goods, and the fish in the warehouse were frightened and ran around.

It was obviously impossible for the smuggled goods to be transported away with the search and rescue ship at that time. All of these were cheap for him.

The warehouse is too large, and it takes a lot of time to find and carry rice bags.

It wasn’t until after five o’clock in the morning that he searched all the piles of rice in the warehouse.

The result was unsatisfactory. There were only five wooden boxes and three suitcases in total.

Chu Mingcheng found the five wooden boxes in a pile of rice, and he suspected that the five wooden boxes belonged to the same person.

But wooden boxes seem to be easier to open than suitcases.

It is not easy for him to take so many things back. If the things in the wooden box are useless due to sea foam, he can save trouble.

This wooden box has no lock and is fully enclosed. Chu Mingcheng picked up the spear and poked a hole on the edge of the wooden box.

Although the wooden box is made of solid wood, it has softened a lot after soaking in water for so long.

Chu Mingcheng quickly opened a hole with a fish spear, and found that there was a sponge under the board.

The thing specially protected with a sponge, he was shocked, and then his heart started beating. Could it be porcelain inside?

Normally speaking, sponges are used to prevent shocks and protect fragile items.

Apart from porcelain, Chu Mingcheng can’t think of anything else worth smuggling.

He was rich from heaven, he immediately unpacked the wooden box with full motivation, and it only took a short while to remove all the wooden boards.

Then he slowly picked up the sponge, revealing what looked like a wine bottle wrapped in oiled paper underneath.

After seeing the appearance of this item, Chu Mingcheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be a bar wrapped in oiled paper?

How expensive can wine be?

But he didn’t move around anymore, no matter it was wine or other things, since he was hugging it with oiled paper, he obviously didn’t want it to touch the water.

In this case, he can only take the trouble to run a few more times and move all these things back.
