Chapter 466: Chapter 315: Unexpected Discovery in the Warehouse_2 Chapter 466: Chapter 315: Unexpected Discovery in the Warehouse_2 No, there isn’t a single cargo box on the deck. Could this be a mine ship?

Or maybe it’s carrying oil or something?

After all, if the shipwreck was dealt with in time to clear the cargo boxes from the deck, there’s no reason for someone to have died in that first room.

If there was time to clear the cargo boxes, wouldn’t there be time to break down a door and save someone?

Chu Mingcheng, unable to figure out the situation, suddenly felt an urge to go back and check the first room, mainly out of curiosity.

But after considering for three seconds, he decided to continue his exploration. He would find out the specifics once he entered the cabin.

Chu Mingcheng swam to the first floor, where there was a dining hall and a kitchen, as well as a basketball court and a badminton court for the crew to entertain themselves.

Having entertainment areas was convenient for the crew to pass the time during months or even longer periods adrift at sea.

He found nothing of value on this level, so Chu Mingcheng returned to the surface to catch his breath, adjusted his state, and began to search the ship’s inner cabins.

Disturbed by his descent down the stairs, several small fish scattered in panic.

The sunken ship had become a natural sanctuary for underwater fish. When Chu Mingcheng entered the cabin, a sweep of his flashlight revealed many precious fish species.

The Green Dress Groupers, agitated by the illumination, all swiftly dodged away from the light.

Chu Mingcheng first checked around the staircase to see if there were any small rooms, but the interior structure of the cabin was very simple. There was only one huge cargo hold below, which was the last place he needed to search tonight.

He still had one flashlight and two headlamps unused, so he changed to a different flashlight and turned on his headlamp.

This allowed him to see much more clearly.

But as he swam into the cargo hold and saw the bags of woven plastic, Chu Mingcheng’s heart skipped a beat with a bad feeling.

Moving closer, the characters for “rice” immediately disappointed him; it turned out to be a ship carrying imported rice.

With no cargo on deck, it was clear that everything movable had been taken away at the time. As for the rice inside the cabin, rescue ships would likely have a hard time transporting it out.

Even if it could be transported, the difficulty of moving it was apparent. It was already good enough that people were saved.

The rice inside the cabin was scattered everywhere. Some bags were ripped, and the opening showed no spilled rice–evidently, the fish below had cleaned it out completely.

The sinking of this ship was a huge loss for the captain, but for the underwater creatures, it was a free meal that lasted a very long time.

This also led to an uncountable number of fish gathering in the cabin. There were so many, it was practically a paradise for fish.

Although Chu Mingcheng felt it was a pity, he didn’t leave but continued to swim further in.

With so many fish here, there might be a chance to encounter some superior marine creatures.

He had lost hope of finding anything valuable on this ship.

He had only swum about ten meters forward when he spotted a huge octopus next to the rice bags on the left.

The octopus’s head was as big as a basin, and right now, its tentacles were entangling an unlucky fish.

Then, with a glance, a huge Clear Water Grouper appeared before him, nearly a meter in length and free of ciguatoxin.

Chu Mingcheng’s eyes lit up, and he pulled his spear gun from behind.

Such a large Clear Water Grouper was rare, and even if frozen, it could probably sell for one hundred fifty per pound.

This nearly one-meter-long one could definitely weigh around forty pounds, which equates to six thousand dollars.

The cargo ship might not have valuable goods, but because of the rice, it had become a paradise for fish.

A second thought struck him: wasn’t this a natural fishing ground?

Since he couldn’t find any good items, bringing back a few valuable fish wasn’t a bad idea.

Waiting for the right moment, Chu Mingcheng slowly approached.

The Clear Water Grouper, hidden between the rice pile and the wall, seemed to feel safe, barely reacting even as Chu Mingcheng drew near.

He didn’t miss the opportunity. Once he was close enough, he aimed the spear gun just above the pectoral fin and decisively pressed the button.

The spear gun shot out instantly, the powerful force piercing through the fish and nailing it to the ship’s body with a metallic clanging sound.

The Clear Water Grouper, struck hard, started to struggle violently, kicking up dust that obscured Chu Mingcheng’s vision.

He just stared at the fish with his spear gun, waiting until it went still and completely stopped moving.

Then he pulled the fish out and used a diving knife to bleed it.

The diving knife was small enough that Chu Mingcheng always took it with him when diving.

After dealing with the Clear Water Grouper, he used the diving knife to cut a rope that had been used to tie the rice bags, threading the rope through the fish’s gills to secure it.

If only he had brought a live fish clamp, it would have saved some trouble.

Later, Chu Mingcheng continued to swim further into the ship, and after a while, he spotted a fish about forty centimeters long on another pile of rice bags.

This fish, with its alternating black and white skin, caught his attention because it was a Black Backed Diao, a high-end precious fish that he hadn’t captured before.

It could increase his experience, and he decided to take it back for his wife to taste.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t sure about the exact price, but this fish appeared only near the waters of Xisha, Nansha, and Treasure Island, and wasn’t abundant, so he guessed it wasn’t cheap.

However, with just one of these, he was too lazy to sell it.

Positioning himself above the fish, he readied his spear gun.

Seizing the moment, he pressed the button decisively, and the spear gun instantly shot, pinning the fish to the rice bag.
