Chapter 740: Chapter 309: To Hawaii_2

The elusive shadow approached the fishing boat, and the guide turned on the flashlight of the smartphone, ready to provide them with illumination.

"Ah....."

To their surprise, when the flashlight shone down, the female guide saw the shadow not far away, was actually a person lying on a banana tree! Their life or death was uncertain.

She let out a frightened scream on the spot, nearly dropping her phone.

Despite her extensive experience, she was after all a young girl. Faced with such eerie incidents, especially at night, it was natural to be scared.

"...."

"Holy shit!"

"Ah...."

Lin Yang and the others also saw the person in the water, and their expressions varied from astonishment to shock and fear, while Yue’er couldn’t help but cling closer to Lin Yang.

Only the female guide was alone, but ultimately too frightened, one hand touching the amulet on her neck while moving closer to Yue’er for comfort.

"This is ridiculous, to think we’d catch this kind of thing on a trip abroad... Don’t be scared, I’ll cut the fishing line first."

Lin Yang grumbled, his hands searching for scissors.

"Oh, it seems to have moved!"

Before he could find the scissors, the female guide exclaimed again.

"Hm? Are you sure?"

"It seems... like it moved a bit..."

The guide spoke with some uncertainty; in such a bizarre and eerie scene, it was natural to second-guess one’s eyes.

At that moment, Lin Yang had also pulled the mysterious catch closer, and under the illumination of the smartphone flashlight, they were startled to see another figure!

However, this one was sprawled on a wooden board, likewise impossible to tell whether they were alive or dead.

One was already frightening enough, and now there was another; Yue’er now wished she could just hang on to the man beside her.

Lin Yang and Li Xiaopeng, on the other hand, were comparatively composed, one feeling secure with his company and the other forcibly maintaining calm.

"There’s no smell of decay, let’s pull it up to have a look first, if he’s alive we can get him to the hospital, if he’s dead we’ll call the police."

Since the female guide had mentioned the person in the water seemed to move, Lin Yang naturally couldn’t just cut the line. His inherent sense of justice wouldn’t let him ignore someone in peril.

"You all step back a bit."

Since the fate of the person in the water was uncertain, they needed to be pulled up for confirmation.

And well, this was quite literally fishing for people, wasn’t it?

Though the life or death was unclear, this was undeniably something Lin Yang had never fished before, and the thought gave him a small thrill.

Ahem... Considering the situation was still quite serious, he quickly suppressed the somewhat twisted thoughts in his head.

In the midst of pulling at the fishing rod, Lin Yang managed to bring the person in the water, along with the wood board they were lying on, to the side of the boat. Then, like picking up a chick, he grabbed the person’s clothes and pulled them out of the water.

"Successfully caught one Zhang Wei...."

"Zhang Wei..." Lin Yang was somewhat speechless, thinking that the name really seemed to be quite common, to be able to fish out someone named Zhang Wei just like that.

Not long after, the person Li Xiaopeng hooked was also pulled ashore.

Just as Lin Yang was about to check whether the two had any breath left in them, the man named Zhang Wei suddenly coughed, spewing out a large mouthful of water.

The other person beside him did likewise.

Seeing this, Lin Yang knew that both of them were not in great danger anymore, at least they were out of the life-threatening situation.

"Thank you for saving me...."

When he heard Zhang Wei speak Chinese, Li Xiaopeng and the others were quite surprised; not only had they fished out two people from a river in Thailand at night, but they were also from their home country?

In contrast to their astonishment, Lin Yang took it rather well; from the moment he first heard the man’s name, he had guessed who the person might be.

Afterward, Lin Yang spoke with them and learned that they had originally planned to go to Myanmar for work but had encountered fraud and had barely escaped by jumping into the river.

After jumping into the river, somehow they drifted to where they were now.

Hearing the incredible tale of the two men, Lin Yang and the others took a moment to fully process the bizarre incidents of the day; truly, they had encountered a great many oddities....

After getting a rough understanding, seeing that the two men were not in good physical condition, Lin Yang took the initiative to ask the female guide to call an ambulance for them.

Watching the two men being taken away, Lin Yang and the rest discussed and ultimately decided not to continue fishing that day. The series of scares had genuinely frazzled them.

....

In the following two days in Thailand, Lin Yang and his friends mainly explored fishing in the Mekong River area.

Of course, besides fishing, they also visited the local night markets and some scenic spots, overall, the experience was not bad.

Time flew, and their trip to Thailand was quickly coming to a close.

Originally, Lin Yang had planned to return to China for a few days of rest after the Thailand trip.

But when he checked the calendar, he realized that there was less than a week left before the international fishing competition in Hawaii at the end of the month. If he went back to China to rest and transfer, he might miss it.

Thus, Lin Yang decided to buy tickets from Thailand to Hawaii instead; after all, Li Xiaopeng and Yue’er were also going to accompany him, and it would be much more straightforward this way.

Furthermore, arriving early in Hawaii would give them additional time to survey the competition venue and to get an early feel for the local fish, engage in pre-competition training, and prepare for the upcoming sea fishing competition at the end of the month.

After all was planned, on their fifth day in Thailand, the three boarded a plane once more, headed straight for Hawaii!

After roughly fifteen hours of flight, Lin Yang and his companions finally arrived in Honolulu (the capital of Hawaii).
