The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 53 Taking advantage of the chaos! Sign this contract of servitude!

Received the goods?

Sun Heizi and the other crew members were dumbfounded.

In this godforsaken place, it's a miracle we can even survive. And Brother Chen is still thinking about collecting goods.

What kind of goods do you accept?

To salvage that ship that's about to be towed into the sea?

That thing is worth a hundred million.

Lin Jianguo was also stunned.

Lin Chen picked up the communicator and tuned it to a public channel.

"Poseidon, can you hear me?"

……

Poseidon, cockpit.

"Boss...it's...it's a radio."

A surviving mercenary scrambled to the control panel, his face covered in rain and tears.

The vulture suddenly turned its head, its eyes flashing with a fierce determination to survive.

"I am the captain of the Pioneer."

Lin Chen's voice came through the loudspeaker.

"I'll give you a chance to live."

"Tell me your conditions."

The vulture roared into the communicator, and the creaking of the ship's hull tightening sounded like a death knell.

Another sharp sound came from outside. One of his companions, who was trying to climb out of the cabin, was grabbed by a tentacle and slammed into the sea. He disappeared from sight in an instant.

This scene was so bloody that it disturbed even the vulture's mind.

He was a desperate man, but he didn't want to die.

I don't want to be so pathetically crushed to death by this damn thing.

"First, hand over the highest control of the Poseidon, including the firewall passwords for all weapons and deep-sea systems."

"Second," Lin Chen's voice trailed off, growing even colder, "you will sign an indefinite labor contract with everyone alive on the ship. From this moment on, your lives belong to me."

"You fucking opportunist!"

The vulture's eyes turned red.

He, the leader of the high seas Stinger, is actually going to be a slave to a man who drives a broken fishing boat.

You have ten seconds to think about it.

Lin Chen's voice remained completely calm.

"ten."

The ship tilted even more violently as seawater flooded the deck and a wave crashed into the shattered cockpit.

"Nine."

"Boss! Say yes! I don't want to die!"

A young mercenary burst into tears, completely breaking down.

"eight."

The vulture stared out the window at the enormous compound eye, an expression unlike any he had ever seen in any other creature.

He gritted his teeth until they broke, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth.

"I... I promise you."

These two words were practically squeezed out from between the teeth of a vulture.

He had barely finished speaking.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold as he gave the pre-prepared order into the walkie-talkie.

"Turn on the lights."

"start up."

A low, almost inaudible hum emanated from the strange-looking metal device at the bow of the Pioneer.

Then, Zhou Dazhuang abruptly slammed the main switch shut in the power distribution room.

Onboard the Pioneer, all the modified high-powered searchlights lit up with blinding light at the same time.

More than a dozen beams of light pierced through the dark red sea fog and, from three nautical miles away, struck the giant's head precisely, especially its compound eyes, which were as large as cartwheels.

"hiss!"

The monster let out an extremely shrill scream, unleashing a shockwave.

The sea suddenly dipped, the Pioneer was lifted up by the giant wave and then slammed back down, the people on board were thrown about, clinging desperately to whatever they could grab.

That abyssal behemoth encountered suffering it had never experienced before.

The intense light had been shining on it for a long time, and its eyes, long accustomed to the darkness of the deep sea, were now mortally wounded.

And those inaudible infrasound waves churned around in its brain.

It writhed in agony, its enormous body churning up huge waves in the sea.

The tentacles that had been tightly binding the Poseidon suddenly loosened.

The giant shadow of the monster writhed wildly in the sea, turning the ocean upside down.

Then, it suddenly dived downwards, its huge head disappearing beneath the surface of the sea.

Only a large patch of black liquid remained scattered.

The propellers of the Poseidon spun wildly at the last moment, severing several tentacles.

The severed tentacles were still moving on the surface of the sea, each segment thicker than an adult's waist.

"Chen...Brother Chen...it...ran away?"

Sun Heizi gripped the gunwale, his voice trembling, his trousers soaked through, it was hard to tell if it was seawater or cold sweat.

"Move closer."

Lin Chen put down the communicator.

The Pioneer turned around, carefully avoiding the wreckage at sea, and headed toward the dilapidated Poseidon.

"Sun Heizi, take the guards and board the ship."

Lin Chen's voice came through.

"Tie them all up tightly!"

"Okay!"

Sun Heizi wiped his face, all the fear he had felt earlier was gone.

He beckoned to several team members whose cheeks were also flushed, and took out prepared machetes and a new bundle of thick nylon cable ties from the cabin—the kind used to tie up crabs.

"This thing is much sturdier than the ones used to tie up crabs; it'll make sure they can't move at all."

One of the team members chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth.

Sun Heizi led several fishermen with machetes and murderous expressions to jump onto the deck of the Sea God. Vulture and the remaining seven or eight mercenaries were lying on the ground panting, looking like they had just returned from the brink of death.

Upon seeing Sun Heizi and his group, these people instinctively reached for their weapons.

"Don't fucking move!"

Sun Heizi kicked the rifle that had fallen to the ground away and patted the vulture's face with the back of his machete.

"Now, this ship is ours."

The vulture raised its head and looked at the man in front of it, who was wearing a cheap raincoat, had a face full of scars, and was holding a primitive machete. It then looked at the pitifully small civilian fishing boat behind him.

He, a professional soldier who had tasted blood in the midst of gunfire, with an armed ship worth hundreds of millions, was actually defeated by a group of fishermen who used the cable ties used to tie crabs as handcuffs?

Sun Heizi and his men moved swiftly, quickly binding the hands of the bewildered mercenaries behind their backs with cable ties, their technique incredibly professional.

Only then did Lin Chen step through the dirty water and slowly walk onto the deck of the Poseidon.

He didn't even glance at the vultures tied up in a string.

He walked straight into the main control room.

Lin Jianguo and Zhou Dazhuang followed behind him, their faces also filled with shock.

Zhou Dazhuang, in particular, was practically drooling as he looked at the sophisticated instruments and weapon interfaces on the ship, which he had never even heard of before.

This isn't a ship, it's a moving sea fortress!

Lin Chen walked to the cracked control panel, ignoring the dozens of red alarms flashing on it, and took out a black USB drive from his pocket.

System produced.

[Data overwrite USB drive].

He plugged the USB drive into the interface on the main control panel.

hum-

All the screens on the main control panel went black.

The next second, the screens lit up simultaneously, and countless green codes flashed by rapidly.

Less than ten seconds.

All the code on the screen disappeared, replaced by a simple dark blue interface.

In the middle of the screen, a line of large green text appeared.

[Highest privileges have been taken over]

Welcome, Captain!

Lin Chen stroked the control panel.

This armed salvage ship, worth hundreds of millions, and the group of well-trained thugs on board, now belong to him.
