As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 362 - Chapter 362 Chapter 286 The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing

Chapter 362: Chapter 286: The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Inside Chapter 362: Chapter 286: The Ancient Sunken Ship with Nothing Inside At the boundary of the East Sea near the Public Sea, about three sea miles away from the Sea God, two ships were sailing at high speeds and slowly closing in on each other.

The one in front was a fishing boat, flying a red flag.

Following it was a warship, seemingly a fishery administration patrol boat.

The ship flew a white flag with a red circle in the middle.

If there were an archery expert here, seeing that flag would probably make them itch to take a shot, since the bullseye was marked in red.

If a rower were here, I reckon tens of billions of troops would charge in minutes, then making their own battle achievements.

Obviously, the one in front was a domestic fishing boat, and the one behind was a Japanese patrol boat.

Judging by the speed of the two boats, the fishing boat had a deeper draft, therefore it was slightly slower and would eventually be caught up.

On the other side, Chu Mingcheng finished her meal and tidied up before heading to the bridge, ready to search for some deep-water areas with reefs to see if she could encounter some Eastern Sea Bass.

Who knew that just as she reached the bridge, she saw two bright lights ahead in the night.

Chu Mingcheng was not surprised by this, as it was normal to occasionally encounter a fishing boat on the high seas.

Besides, the boat opposite was still a distance away; although visible, one could completely avoid it from the bridge.

But what she didn’t know was that the fishing boat opposite was urgently warning over the radio, telling her that a Japanese warship was chasing them and advising her to run quickly.

This was quite a coincidence, as Chu Mingcheng had needed to contact Chen Yang earlier and had left the radio on.

She hadn’t turned it off even when she came here alone, so she heard that in Huaxia there was a Japanese boat chasing domestic fishermen, which was quite a surprise.

“Old brother, isn’t this Huaxia’s sea area? How arrogant of Japan, daring to chase Huaxia’s fishing boat?” Chu Mingcheng asked while starting up the Sea God.

“I went fishing in the Public Sea and got chased by these Japanese. That country isn’t big, but they sure manage a wide area, downright claiming that the buffer zone between the East Sea and their territorial waters is theirs too, ain’t that petty!”

From the rant of the fishing boat captain, Chu Mingcheng came to understand the reason they were being pursued.

The fishermen of the East Sea often had clashes with Japan, but in the majority of cases, it was the domestic fishermen who were at a disadvantage.

Not only were they often chased away, but there were also cases where fishing boats were detained and the crew was arrested and imprisoned, especially back when Huaxia was relatively backward.

It was only because Huaxia had rapidly developed and because the younger generation in Japan did not like the fishing industry–leading to a severe shrinking of their fishing operations–that such incidents had become less frequent.

However, it wasn’t nonexistent; that Japanese warship today was quite arrogant, daring to chase into Huaxia’s maritime territory.

Yet, it was rare for Japan to be so persistent; they usually stopped chasing after driving the boats away.

Especially the clumsy Chinese they used over the radio to tell them to stop, made it seem like the fishing boat must have done something forcing them to chase.

“Old brother, has this Japanese warship been on your tail because you’ve done something noteworthy?”

By now, Chu Mingcheng was driving the boat alongside the fishing boat, but she felt it wasn’t necessary to flee, as it was very likely that the Japanese warship wouldn’t bother with her.

“They forcibly boarded my boat with seven fishery enforcement officers; I’ve detained them and notified our fishery administration. The nearest patrol boat from the East Sea is on its way.”

“Damn, they dare to board my ship just like that? Then I must send them over for a cup of tea first and let the Japanese come to fetch their people.”

“Old brother, you are so domineering!” Chu Mingcheng couldn’t help but laugh and cry when she heard this. Her fishing boat was over twenty meters long, which was considered small, but there were definitely more than a few fishermen on board.

Without firearms, seven Japanese were no match for these fishermen; taking control of the fishing boat was clearly impossible.

The nature of their boarding was very bad, and if the fishing boat captain did not compromise, it was indeed possible to detain the people for a while, letting Japan negotiate with the domestic and foreign ministries and then come to fetch them.

No wonder they chased all the way into Huaxia’s maritime territory–it seemed they wanted to take the fishing boat into custody, but ended up being detained themselves.

Looking at it this way, it made sense for the fishing boat captain to ask her to run together.

Who knows if Japan might be despicable enough to take hostages if they can’t catch up with the fishing boat–Chu Mingcheng would never underestimate their lows.

But at the thought, she also felt a thrill.

If Japan dared to board her boat, she would dare to tie them up.

It was just that she wondered if, after suffering a loss, they would bring some special weapons.

So she just thought about it and did not rashly stop.

After running for a while, the domestic patrol boat was still nowhere in sight, but the Japanese warship was getting closer.

To be honest, Chu Mingcheng didn’t understand the point of them pursuing so doggedly. Though her boat was slightly smaller, it wasn’t something the Japanese warship could stop.

If there was a collision, both sides would have a hard time surviving.

And at that moment, there was another round of broken Chinese from Japan.

“You… stop your ship… If you don’t stop, we will have to… take… forced measures to stop you…”

Forced to stop?

Chu Mingcheng frowned, wondering if they were really planning to ram them to forcibly stop them.

Under normal circumstances, she wasn’t someone who meddled in other people’s business, and getting involved in this matter would probably cause her economic loss.

But the current situation was special, and as both she and the fishing boat captain were Huaxia citizens, they had to unite against Japan.
