908 Landing on Sequoia Island

Such a large flying fish fishing vessel generally does not belong to the Fan Empire. The Fan Empire is too small and does not have such a professional fishing boat. This fishing boat is stealing fish here.

Ye Chen thought to himself that it was no wonder that the income of the fishermen here was not high. They did not have suitable fishing tools. They just used the big trees on the island. After hollowing out the heart of the trees, they made canoes with the most primitive fishing tools.

Fish tools.

Compared with the offshore fishing boats that are only available in developed countries now, there is a huge difference.

It's night now, so they are just catching this season's craft. As soon as the tens of thousands of small light bulbs on the boat are turned on, the phototactic flying fish will pounce on them like mosquitoes.

And this fishing boat has already set up a trap here, and finally comes to round it up.

In less than two hours, the fishing boat left and went to other sea areas to catch other fish. For these illegal fishermen, a trip here is a great deal.



At around six o'clock in the morning, Ye Chen was woken up by an uncle who was a fisherman.

Ye Chen had made an agreement with him before to let him drive a canoe to take him to the vicinity of Sequoia Island, because the distance between Guli Island and Sequoia Island was only about twenty nautical miles.

The fishermen here use wooden boats to send people to the surrounding islands. This is also a side job for them, and they make more than selling coconuts in a year.

The uncle is an expert on this island and has sent many people to other small islands for a fee of US$200 each time.

But if you want to make these two hundred dollars, you have to catch some particularly valuable fish. Otherwise, you won't be able to make so much money.

However, because Ye Chen gave the uncle five hundred dollars this time, which was several times the amount of others, the uncle also called two helpers, who were his two eldest nephews, and they all rowed the canoe together to ensure that the speed was faster.

"Pa..."

"Pa..."

The small canoe is hit by the waves, and even a small wave makes people worry that the boat will capsize.

However, the three big black men rowing the boat were not tired at all. For them, they had done this kind of work no less than fifty times, so they were very experienced.

The sea was quite calm today and the waves were not high, otherwise they wouldn't have brought Ye Chen out.

Ye Chen was free. The three of them rowed a boat while he got a fishing rod and started trolling.

The so-called trolling is a technique of sea fishing. Generally, the boat is driven in front, and the fisherman throws the fishing rod directly into the sea. As the boat moves forward, the fishing rod will appear swimming in the water.

.

This will attract some powerful fish to attack. However, special trolling boats are usually used to move forward faster.

It's really rare to use a slow wooden boat as a trolling boat like this, but Ye Chen was completely bored. He stayed with three big black guys, facing the sea breeze and waves, and had nothing to talk about.

Yeah, the wind is so strong that we can’t talk.

"Yo..."

After the boat had been traveling for an hour, Ye Chen's rod tip suddenly jerked down, and a relatively strong pull came from the tip.

The three big black men immediately screamed. Everyone stopped rowing and gave Ye Chen a thumbs up. Recently, the fishing resources in this area have been running out of fish because of the frequent visits of fishing boats.

Not to mention trolling like this, but he didn't expect that Ye Chen actually attracted a fish to bite the hook.

"Yes, it's still a big fish."

Ye Chen grinned and took out a few bottles of beer from the bag at his feet while calmly reeling in the line from his bag, indicating that they could drink.

The three of them were overjoyed and were not polite to him. Each of them took a bottle of beer and started drinking.

Since they had been rocking for an hour and had only advanced about six nautical miles, they were indeed a little tired.

"Ye, you are great..."

"It's actually tuna, which is so rare."

When the fish lost its strength and was pulled to the side of the wooden boat by Ye Chen, the three of them screamed and raised their wine bottles to celebrate together. It turned out to be a rare tuna. This kind of fish has delicious meat and is used for sashimi.

Top quality materials.

The largest one can grow to hundreds of kilograms, but this one is obviously a small tuna baby, only weighing a dozen kilograms.

But for them, this was a very rare ingredient. Ye Chen pulled the fish into the canoe and gave the three of them high-fives one by one, thanking them for bringing him a good trip.

With the beer that Ye Chen brought, the four of them cut open the tuna on the boat and ate the sashimi directly. This was such a hearty meal.

"Ye, are you an employee of Sequoia Island?" Uncle Chalmer asked Ye Chen while drinking beer.

Ye Chen nodded in acquiescence.

There are residents on Sequoia Island, but they are all outsiders, because there are three offshore oil well platforms around the island, and those who live there are usually oil workers.

"Well, you guys are pretty good. Do you think there is any way to introduce us to work on the island?" After a few bites, Uncle Chalmer made another unkind request.

He wanted Ye Chen to talk to their boss and see if they wanted oil workers, coolies or the like. There were about thirty men on their island who could work there.

Ye Chen didn't want to dissuade them, he just said that he would talk to his boss about this matter. The three of them were even more happy. If they got the hope, Uncle Chalmer even planned to return the five hundred US dollars to Ye Chen.

However, he was rejected by Ye Chen. Ye Chen just hoped that they could do as he asked.



Around two o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them paddled a canoe and finally saw Sequoia Island in the distance and several drilling wells on the sea.

Ye Chen asked Chalmer and the others to take him to a place one nautical mile south, and then let them leave. He carried his equipment and jumped into the sea to swim across.

At first, the three of them were very worried because the equipment Ye Chen brought weighed as much as seventy or eighty kilograms in a large bag. How could they swim with such heavy things on their backs?

However, when they saw Ye Chen swimming forward freely in the sea, the three of them were also very surprised. They did not expect that such a fierce person actually existed.

Although they didn't understand why Ye Chen did this, workers on the island usually had small boats to pick them up. Since he was an employee on the island, why did he have to go around like this?

However, they didn't think much about it and hurried back in the canoe. If it was too late, they would be in danger in the sea when the tide came in, and they would have to paddle back faster.

"call……"

Carrying heavy equipment and facing the seemingly calm sea, Ye Chen was like a whale in the sea. He took a breath and then smoothly slid forward a few meters. (To be continued. If you like this work
