Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Do You Like It That Much?
Song Yunuan didn’t notice Gu Huai’an’s thoughts; her attention was on what was in front of her.
Here, they could call it a weapons arsenal.
The ship was custom-made and extremely stable on the open sea.
And they had already boarded.
It was dusk at this time.
The ocean outside was no longer azure but pitch black.
The moon was hidden behind dark clouds.
However, the arsenal was brightly lit, yet only Gu Huai’an and Song Yunuan were there.
Not only were there the fishing gear that Song Yunuan wanted, but also all sorts of weapons.
It was an assortment of everything one could imagine.
Song Yunuan took out her special slingshot from her bag.
There was also a pouch made of cowhide, filled with iron pellets specially made by Song Yunuan.
These were prepared just for fun.
To her surprise, there was an entire box of small iron pellets in the weapon’s arsenal that were about the same size as the ones she used regularly.
Song Yunuan’s gaze lingered on Gu Huai’an with a meaningful look.
This time she didn’t think to herself but directly asked Gu Huai’an, "Brother Huai’an, were you prepared in advance?"
"Not exactly, one of the specialized weapons happens to use these iron pellets," Gu Huai’an explained unhurriedly.
Song Yunuan was eager for Gu Huai’an to find that weapon.
It turned out to be a special kind of weapon similar to a crossbow, yet different from a crossbow.
A crossbow used arrows, while this used iron pellets.
A magazine could hold ten pellets.
Eager, Song Yunuan took the modified crossbow-like weapon and toyed with it for a while, then examined each piece of fishing gear and finally chose one with a thicker rod.
Gu Huai’an stood aside, also shocked.
Little Nuan’s technique was too skilled; it wasn’t like a novice’s at all.
But what of it?
Up to now, no one had asked questions they shouldn’t.
Song Yunuan, holding a fishing rod, asked Gu Huai’an if he could remove the front hook and modify it according to her idea.
In this arsenal, there were not only various weapons but also tools, and so Gu Huai’an managed to craft what Song Yunuan wanted in just over an hour, based on her description.
After the work was done, the two left the weapon’s arsenal and stepped onto the deck, just as a round moon was slowly rising from the sea’s surface.
The night sea was majestic and spectacular.
The full moon hung high in the sky, casting a faint silver glow, lighting up the entire sea.
The cruise ship they were on sailed smoothly, flanked by escort ships.
Not far away, Hong Xia and several team members were discussing something.
Their voices were soft; a gust of wind blew by, and it seemed to dissipate.
Some team members were on duty, their eyes fixed ahead, exuding a sense of solemnity and seriousness.
Song Yunuan walked forward with the fishing rod, standing in the open space, and began experimenting with the fishing gear and the crossbow-like weapon in her hand.
Hong Xia wanted to go talk to Song Yunuan, but stopped in her tracks upon seeing Commander-in-charge Gu.
There was another girl in the team; her name was Mei Ruoqing.
She was a research team member in Gu Huai’an’s team and was about the same age as Gu Huai’an.
If asked whether she had feelings for Gu Huai’an, the answer would definitely be yes.
And they were incredibly deep.
In fact, she had only been a part of the team for a year, but a person like Gu Huai’an didn’t need time to nurture affection, he was the type to fall in love at first sight.
But she dared not reveal the slightest hint of it.
She kept her thoughts buried deep within, hidden from everyone, or else she would be asked to leave the team.
This time, she had the good fortune to go on a mission with the leader, which excited her immensely, but to her surprise, the leader always seemed to be with a girl named Song Yunuan.
She had never seen such gentle and indulgent eyes from the leader before.
For a moment, her mind went completely blank.
In her imagination, the leader was like the bright moon in the sky, unmatched by anyone.
Yet, there was a girl standing by his side.
No, it would be more accurate to say that he was following the girl, attentive to her every move, even holding two things in his hand.
Mei Ruoqing watched dumbfounded.
Why did it feel like her leader had become a lackey?
Song Yunuan had actually come up with many plans, but they were all solo efforts. However, with Gu Huai’an’s participation, along with the daughter of the eldest senior brother and many other outstanding team members and researchers, these people must have come with a do-or-die resolve.
So, not only did they need to bring back Kurt Gymm and his party along with the food supplies, but also all these people, without a single one missing.
Song Yunuan tried out the fishing rod; the feel was quite good. She also gave the iron-pellet crossbow a try towards the sea, and it was also very good, better than her own slingshot.
Gu Huai’an asked Song Yunuan, "Can you tell me what the fishing gear is for?"
Song Yunuan smiled, and under the bright moonlight, her smile was like a night-blooming cereus, fleeting and then gone without a trace.
She said, "Do you remember the cartoon Fishing Child you watched as a kid?"
Gu Huai’an, of course, had seen it.
So, was Little Nuan planning to transform into the Fishing Child to fish for people?
Song Yunuan said, "That’s the plan, but we’ll have to see how things go. This tool has its limitations, and besides, even if the other party does show up, they’ll be prepared. They are people who greatly value their lives."
When Gu Huai’an held a meeting for everyone, there was only one principal: if Song Yunuan made any move, no one else should act rashly, and everything should be based on Song Yunuan’s actions.
Hong Xia was very worried.
She still didn’t understand why the granddaughter of Master Grandpa, Little Nuan, had to come along.
Even if Kurt Gymm was her friend, there was no need for her to board the ship; she could have just stayed at headquarters.
She was the youngest one here, after all.
And there was Gu Huai’an, who obviously liked Little Nuan. Was his affection that deep?
But orders must be followed.
Hong Xia had to suppress her doubts.
During their rest, Hong Xia couldn’t help but speak to Song Yunuan, "Venom Fang is ruthless and cold-blooded. It’s said that no one knows his real face, and those who have, none have lived to tell the tale. Although the food supply is important, you’ve already done what you need to do. Shouldn’t you let others handle the rest? What if something goes wrong? Little Nuan, you’ll be the one responsible. I don’t know what Huai’an is thinking."
Song Yunuan thought for a moment and said earnestly, "Gu Huai’an trusts me, that’s why he made such arrangements.
Sister Hong Xia, don’t worry, I won’t act knowingly in the face of impossibility.
Moreover, plans can’t keep up with changes. Who knows what kind of setup Venom Fang will have or what terms he’ll propose?
What’s more important, we don’t even know if we will come across Kurt Gymm and his party. Anyway, we’ll see when the time comes, let’s sleep!"
Song Yunuan was lying opposite Hong Xia, and it wasn’t long before she really fell asleep, sleeping soundly indeed.
Hong Xia thought to herself that her father had said Song Yunuan was not a simple young girl and being so highly valued by Master Grandpa, she must have some abilities unknown to her.
Then, was she just not comfortable sharing them with her?
