Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

At this point, Wang Desheng hesitated a bit.

"Comrade Xiao Fu, do you really want to try?"

The reason Wang Desheng sought out Fu Wan was because he was truly out of options.

Because the item was thrown into the sea, and the seawater is constantly flowing, they had to act as quickly as possible to retrieve the box.

Wang Desheng had only seen Fu Wan go into the water once, when they encountered a smuggling gang and Fu Wan was knocked into the water by the Japanese. However, he remembered that there were orcas there at the time, so he had no idea how good Fu Wan was at swimming.

Hearing this, Fu Wan smiled confidently, "Since you've put it this way, I definitely have to go down and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Wang Desheng could only turn his head and signal the person next to him to bring the diving equipment. Fu Wan shook her head and took out the flippers she had brought and put them on.

After putting on her flippers, she took out a diving mask and put it on.

“I don’t need oxygen. That thing must have been lost deep somewhere. The oxygen cylinder is too heavy and too big, and it would restrict my movement.”

Fu Wan made up a lie, and Wang Desheng was half-believing and half-doubting. He recalled the last time Fu Wan went into the water to catch enemy agents, it seemed that she was indeed not carrying oxygen.

"Then tie a rope around your waist, so that in case of any emergency, we can pull you back in time."

Fu Wan shook her head again, "No need, Commander Wang, my father was a famous sea monster when he was young, he made a living by catching things underwater."

I learned to swim from him when I was little. Leader Sun asked you to find me because he knows I'm a good swimmer. Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll definitely swim up myself.

Wang Desheng couldn't believe it, but Fu Wan was a woman of her word. Before Wang Desheng could continue to persuade her, she pushed herself up to the side of the boat, flipped herself over, and nimbly got into the water.

"Comrade Xiaofu!"

Fu Wan waved her hand, "Wait for my good news!"

After saying that, she turned and dived into the water. At the same time, Bai Qianzhou, wearing a white coat, quickly came out of the cabin and witnessed Fu Wan disappearing into the sea. His heart jumped into his throat for no reason.

Bai Qianzhou had already heard Fu Wan speaking.

The reason he didn't leave the cabin was because he was treating several colleagues who were injured due to lack of oxygen and deep-sea pressure. He had thought that he might be able to give Fu Wan a few words of advice after finishing the treatment, but Fu Wan went into the water so quickly.

That was the unfathomable deep sea. Even though he knew that Fu Wan's swimming skills were extraordinary, he was still a little worried.

Wang Desheng and Jiang Wenming hurriedly chased after her to the side of the boat. Fu Wan's actions were really too daring. She went into the water without saying much. The divers had been preparing for more than half an hour before going down.

Everyone stared at the dark sea, but Fu Wan was oblivious. The seawater was a bit cold in winter, but she didn't feel cold because she was wearing a mermaid suit. After getting used to it for a while, Fu Wan quickly swam towards the depths of the ocean.

Although it was nighttime, the seabed was surprisingly lively.

As soon as Fu Wan swam down, she encountered a huge school of fish.

The school of fish was like an impenetrable wall, forcing Fu Wan to stop and wait for them to pass first.

The closer the fish got, the more regretful Fu Wan felt. She had initially thought it was a school of six-banded trevally from a distance, but now she realized it was actually a relative of the six-banded trevally, the bluefin trevally.

Bluefin trevally (image from a web browser, please delete if infringing copyright)

The bluefin trevally has a laterally compressed body and appears silvery-white from a distance, hence its local name "whiteboard."

Unlike the six-banded trevally, this fish has a distinct blue tail and dorsal and ventral fins. However, like the six-banded trevally, adult bluefin trevally also like to swim in large groups near coral reefs, creating a powerful fish storm.

Fu Wan's trip wasn't for fishing; otherwise, she could have easily caught something by just haphazardly using a harpoon.

In terms of taste, bluefin tuna is much better than six-banded tuna. Its flesh is tender and low in fat, making it delicious not only when braised but also as sashimi.

After the large school of bluefin trevally swam past, Fu Wan continued to dive down.

By this time, she had probably dived to a depth of more than 20 meters. The seawater was becoming increasingly murky, and since it was nighttime, the military flashlight that Wang Desheng had given her was basically useless.

Fu Wan simply turned off the flashlight and then began searching the surroundings for the leather suitcase.

There are many coral reefs in this area, but there are obvious signs that the coral reefs have been disturbed. Fu Wan knew in her heart that the divers hired by the camp must have searched the area.

Even so, she still searched carefully, not even missing the crevices between the coral reefs. Unfortunately, she couldn't find the leather suitcase, but she did find several lobster nests.

It doesn't seem to be in this area of ​​the sea. A simple leather suitcase shouldn't have fallen into such deep water, since seawater does offer some resistance.

However, if iron blocks or large stones are tied to the box, then it's not necessarily the case.

Thinking of this, Fu Wan couldn't help but curse Sakata's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart, and then continued to dive into deeper waters.

Sakata's willingness to be arrested rather than throw away the leather trunk shows that the contents of the trunk were of great importance to him.

Recalling the smug look on the islander's face before she went into the water, Fu Wan gritted her teeth. Today, even if she had to bring the baby killer whale, the sperm whale, and the 'Rich Flower' (a mythical creature), she would find this damn leather box!

With that thought in mind, Fu Wan had already dived into a completely new sea area.

This place wasn't as lively as the sea area they had just crossed; it was very quiet, and apart from her own heartbeat, Fu Wan could barely hear any other sounds.

Looking around, the fish in the water weren't as pretty as they had been before; in fact, some of them were rather unsightly.

Fu Wan glanced around casually and spotted two or three blobfish huddled in the mud, waiting for their prey to come to them.

They looked much better than those that were pulled onto the boat.

In addition, there are some transparent jellyfish and small fish, but they are not completely transparent; there is a faint fluorescence in the area where their eyes are located.

It can be described as extremely bizarre.

It looks incredibly toxic!

Fu Wan bypassed the jellyfish and turned back to carefully search for the leather case. For some reason, this sea area inexplicably reminded her of the giant octopus she had encountered before.

Fu Wan still vividly remembers those tentacles that were thicker than a bucket. She could only silently pray that she would never encounter such a terrifying behemoth.

After searching around the reef again, Fu Wan still couldn't find any trace of the leather suitcase. Thinking about it, it was normal. A sixteen-inch suitcase wasn't small, but in the vast ocean, it was undoubtedly the size of a grain of rice.

Fu Wan stopped to rest by a reef for a while, pondering whether to continue diving or move to another area of ​​the sea. Just then, a dark figure quietly approached her.

On the boat, Wang Desheng and his companions were looking anxiously at the water.

It's been almost half an hour, why hasn't Fu Wan come back yet? He said he wanted to tie a safety rope, because if something happened to Comrade Fu, he, Wang Desheng, would be too ashamed to wear this uniform!
