The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 43 Moving the Cold Storage to the Sea

"Director Tang, don't worry."

"He wants to play on land, so let's not play with him on land."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Mingyuan was taken aback.

"The 500,000 deposit is still in my account."

"It's here, not a penny has been touched."

"it is good."

"Director Tang, you don't need to do anything, just wait to collect the live bluefin tuna."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The phone went dead, leaving Tang Mingyuan completely bewildered.

Is this kid crazy?

What's being blocked isn't anything else, but cold chain transportation. Without the ultra-low temperature of minus sixty degrees Celsius for flash freezing, bluefin tuna would be rotten meat as soon as it comes out of the water; how would they transport it?

Should we bring it over in a basin?

Lin Chen immediately dialed a second number.

"Brother Zhuang, it's me, Lin Chen."

"Chen boy? What's up?"

"We have a big job, an urgent job."

"I need two used refrigerated containers that can reach minus sixty degrees Celsius, and I need them immediately."

"Money is no problem. I'll transfer you a deposit of 200,000 yuan first. You help me find the goods, and once you find them, take them directly to the town's dock and load them onto the Pioneer overnight."

There was a three-second silence on Zhou Dazhuang's end.

"Minus sixty degrees Celsius? You want to freeze tuna? And you want to load it onto a ship?"

"Do you know how heavy that thing is? One unit weighs over ten tons. And you'd have to modify the electrical system and connect a generator set. Your twelve-meter boat..."

"Brother Zhuang, all you need to do is tell me if you can do it."

Lin Chen interrupted him.

"...Yes, you can if you pay me."

"I fucking love doing this kind of crazy work. Wait, I'll get the stuff to the dock before dawn."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen stared sharply at the stone table in the courtyard.

Zhao Deding, do you think that by blocking the land routes, I am helpless?

I'll just move the cold storage to the sea and take it by sea. Let's see how you seal it then.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate, and someone was speaking in a low voice.

"Brother Hei, are you really going to do this? This...this is begging for a favor, kneeling down..."

"Shut up. If you don't want your wife to run off with someone else, and you don't want your kid to be unable to go to school, then bend over for me."

It was Sun Heizi's voice.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, walked over, and opened the courtyard gate.

Outside the door, Sun Heizi knelt down with a thud.

Behind him stood seven or eight men, dressed in camouflage uniforms and liberation shoes covered in dirt, their faces weathered and looking helpless.

When Lin Chen opened the door, they all knelt down on the ground along with Sun Heizi.

"Brother Chen."

Sun Heizi pressed his forehead against the ground, his voice hoarse.

"The boss at the construction site ran away after owing us three months' wages. We brothers are starving. I... I don't have any other skills, but I know you, Brother Chen, are a man of great things. Please, give us a way to survive. We'll go through fire and water for you."

A man behind him also shouted:

"Brother Chen, we don't need wages, just some food will do. We can fight."

"Yes, whoever dares to mess with you, we'll kill them."

Lin Chen didn't let them get up.

His gaze swept across each person's face, his voice low but clear.

"The work here is more tiring and dangerous than on a construction site. If we don't catch any fish, we might go without food for days. If we encounter a storm, we could lose our lives at sea. Have you thought it through?"

Sun Heizi suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot:

"Brother Chen, even scaffolding can collapse on a construction site, and you'll die anyway. With you, at least there's hope, and even if I die, it'll be a quick death."

"it is good."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Get up, everyone."

He had Sun Heizi choose four strong and clever men, and then took out 10,000 yuan from his own share of the profits and slapped it into Sun Heizi's hand.

"Go to town and buy some things: good life jackets, sturdy steel pipes, and a few walkie-talkies. From today onwards, you will be the guard team of my fishermen's alliance. I'll call you the Gentian Guard Team."

"I was responsible for patrolling the docks and ships, especially at night. If anyone dared to approach my ship, I would first give them a verbal warning, and if they didn't listen, I would break their legs and throw them into the sea."

Sun Heizi and the other men were holding the money, their hands trembling.

A seemingly simple-minded man scratched his head and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Chen, do...does our security team have uniforms?"

Sun Heizi slapped him on the back of the head:

"You talk too much nonsense."

Everyone in the courtyard laughed.

Lin Chen also smiled:

"There will be more in the future."

……

Two o'clock in the morning.

The dock in Huangni Village.

The modified Pioneer was docked at the pier. On the deck, two white refrigerated containers were welded shut by Zhou Dazhuang with thickened steel cables and electric welding.

Lin Chen stood at the bow of the ship, with Lin Jianguo and Sun Heizi behind him.

"Dad, Heizi, we're going out to sea today, and things might get complicated. Just follow my instructions."

Lin Jianguo only uttered one word:

"Um."

Sun Heizi grinned:

"Brother Chen, don't worry, whoever dares to come, I'll let them try this."

The Pioneer headed straight for the Devil's Reef area.

Lin Chen used his affinity for marine life, and the pulse of fish within a one-kilometer radius appeared clearly in his mind.

"System, exchange for a potent fish attractant."

[Points -50, redemption successful.]

A vial of blue medicine appeared in his hand.

Upon reaching the eddy zone outside Devil's Reef, Lin Chen unscrewed the cap and flung the entire vial of medicine into the sea.

One minute.

Two minutes.

The calm, black sea suddenly began to boil.

Splash!

A silver spine, over two meters long, suddenly slashed the surface of the water, creating a large white splash, before quickly submerging again.

Then came the second and the third rounds.

A dozen enormous shadows darted wildly around the Pioneer, while silver dorsal fins continuously broke through the water on the surface of the sea.

"It's...it's tuna."

Lin Jianguo threw away his pipe and clung tightly to the gunwale. The old fisherman, who had fished all his life, was trembling with fear.

Sun Heizi was completely dumbfounded, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

Just as Lin Chen was about to give the order to begin the fencing, a glaring red alarm suddenly popped up on his retina.

[High-risk warning]

[A threat target has been detected approaching at high speed]

[Objective: To modify the speedboat (Zhou Zhen).]

[Intent Analysis: Carrying a high-pressure water gun and cutting equipment, they intend to damage the host's fishing nets and forcibly drive them away.]

Zhou Zhen?

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at the vicious dog under Zhao Deding's command.

He looked towards the distant horizon and, sure enough, a faint light was rapidly approaching.

"Dad, Hei Zi, don't panic, pretend you didn't see anything, get ready to log off."

Lin Jianguo and Sun Heizi were taken aback, but out of trust in Lin Chen, they immediately began operating the winch to prepare to lower the specially made enclosure net.

The speedboat was getting closer and closer, and we could already see three or four figures standing on it. The one in the lead was looking in our direction with binoculars.

Lin Chen opened the underwater 3D topographic map that was invisible to everyone in the system interface.

At this moment, a safe flight route was clearly marked on the map in front of him.

Not far from the route lies a red zone marked as dangerous—a group of cliff-like reefs with a water depth of less than three meters.

"dad."

"Don't go offline, put it away, let's go."

"Walk?"

Lin Jianguo was stunned.

"Yes, head towards three o'clock, full speed ahead."

Lin Jianguo looked in that direction, and his expression changed:

"That's a rocky area. What are you trying to do?"

"Listen to me, Dad, trust me."

Lin Jianguo suddenly turned the rudder.

The Pioneer abandoned the sea full of tuna, turned around, and sped toward the reef area.

On the speedboat in the distance, Zhou Zhen lowered his binoculars.

"Ha, trying to run? Chase after him. Today I'll make him and his boat feed the turtles of this devil's reef."
