Chapter 96 Why Did It Die ?
Liu Yong was curious about the sunken ship and its contents,
"I wonder what kind of shipwreck it is and what\'s inside."
However, the priorities were clear, and the giant shark\'s body must be retrieved first.
"Overlord, bring the giant shark here," Liu Yong ordered.
The Overlord responded,
"Master, no problem. I\'ll take it right away, and I\'ll definitely be there in an hour and a half."
Despite the 200 nautical mile distance, the Bawang reached them within one and a half hours.
The Overlord didn\'t remove the giant spear from the giant shark\'s body, dragged the massive spear, and quickly swam towards Liu Yong\'s position.
Once they arrived, Liu Yong instructed the salvage ship,
"Everyone, don\'t be stunned, prepare the bait, and put it down later."
The salvage ship did much preparatory work to deceive others, including preparing bait and several huge hooks larger than those used to hang ordinary sharks.
The pins weighed tens of kilograms.
Chen Hu shouted,
"Brothers, start working!" as the boat got busy preparing the baits, all big fish weighing hundreds of catties packed in large plastic baskets. It often took two or three people to work together.
Once the big fish was lifted from the basket, it was put on the giant fishhook together.
The fishing line was also unique, a thumb-thick high-strength rope capable of withstanding 20 tons of pulling force.
One of the crew members asked Liu Yong,
"Boss, will that giant shark bite?"
Liu Yong responded confidently,
"It will definitely bite the bait, everyone just follow my requirements."
Another crew member asked,
"Boss, if the giant shark really bites the hook, will it break our rope?"
Liu Yong reassured them,
"I have prepared several hundreds of meters of rope. Once the giant shark bites the hook, we will retract and release the rope properly first, and don\'t resist hard."
Following Liu Yong\'s instructions, three or four giant hooks were baited, each with a large fish weighing hundreds of catties.
"Boss, everything is ready, do you want to put down the bait now?" one of the crew members asked.
Liu Yong checked the time and thought for a moment.
"Don\'t be in a hurry, wait for another half an hour," he said.
With only a few big fish prepared, one on each giant hook, Liu Yong didn\'t want to risk attracting other big predatory fish with the smell of blood.
After waiting about 30 minutes, Liu Yong asked Bawang and learned it would arrive faster than expected in a few minutes.
Liu Yong told the crew,
"Everyone, you can put down the hook now."
As the scene unfolded, two or three individuals worked in unison to lower the first hook from the boat into the sea, gradually descending to a depth of hundreds of meters.
With the themes successfully deployed, everyone was excited, eagerly waiting for a giant shark to take the bait.
Suddenly, someone spotted movement and shouted,
"Look! This hook is moving!"
With bated breath, the crowd looked on as the previously slack rope began to tighten, and the massive ratchet with a diameter of over one meter began to rotate.
"It must be the giant shark!" someone exclaimed.
Excitement bubbled over as Liu Yong looked on, grinning at the knowledge of what was happening.
He could see the situation clearly from a third-party perspective.
As if on cue, the Overlord arrived and tore the big fish off the giant hook, swallowing it in one swift motion.
It then hung the hook on its massive mouth, slowly swimming away with the giant shark.
The people on the salvage boat, unaware of the Overlord\'s presence, were ecstatic, thinking that they had finally caught the elusive giant shark.
Without hesitation, three or four people sprung into action, using leverage to release and retract the rope.
Even with their combined strength, the force from the string was intense, with a dozen tons of power exerted.
Despite the difficulty, the team was determined to reel in their catch.
It was thrilling for everyone on the boat as they waited for the giant shark to take the bait.
The crew members worked together to put the first hook into the sea, using the ratchet to lower it to a depth of hundreds of meters.
Once all the hooks were released, they anxiously awaited the shark\'s arrival.
Suddenly, one of the hooks began to move, and the rope gradually tightened.
The crew members became excited, believing the giant shark had finally bitten the hook.
The big ratchet with a diameter of over one meter began to rotate, confirming their suspicions.
The crew cheered as they watched the rope tighten, and someone exclaimed,
"Bite the hook, really bite the hook! It must be that giant shark!"
However, Liu Yong knew better than anyone that something else was happening.
He could see the situation clearly from a third-party perspective. The Overlord had arrived, taken the big fish from the hook, ate it in one bite, and then hung the pin on its massive mouth.
Unbeknownst to the crew, the giant shark was being pulled along by the Overlord, swimming slowly at first and then increasing its speed for a while before slowing down again.
As the crew continued to release and retract the rope, they marveled at the power of the giant shark.
"He is so **** strong!" exclaimed one crew member.
After about 20 minutes of tug-of-war, Liu Yong knew the giant shark was hooked firmly.
"Bawang, it\'s okay, you can let go," he said.
Bawang had been operating at a depth of one or two hundred meters and had not encountered the giant shark. He immediately let go of the rope.
The crew members on the boat felt the pulling force weaken, and they quickly began to reel in the rope.
After a few minutes, they had pulled in hundreds of meters of yarn and were stunned by what they saw.
"Oh my God!" exclaimed one crew member.
"What a big shark!"
"It\'s so big, just looking at it is scary enough," said another.
The giant shark had been pulled to the surface, and even in death, it was a fearsome sight.
"Look, this shark appears to be dead, with a hole in its stomach," said one crew member.
"Just now, It was so strong that I couldn\'t pull it back. Why did It die?" asked another.
"How did the shark get the hole in your stomach?" someone else wondered.
"It is estimated that it was made by other big fish," said another crew member.
The boat was abuzz with conversation, and the crew members were thrilled by their catch.
In a booming voice, Liu Yong instructed his crew,
"Dispatch some frogmen to secure the dead belts. We\'re going to haul this colossal shark up!"
The salvage ship was massive, displacing thousands of tons, and boasted mammoth lifting machinery that could quickly hoist items weighing hundreds of tons from the water.
Furthermore, its deck was spacious, providing ample room for the crew to operate.
Once the crew verified that the shark was lifeless, a team of divers donned their gear and plunged into the sea.
They carefully looped a sling around the giant shark and lifted it out of the water.
The shark weighed over 100 tons and measured 30 to 40 meters in length, making lifting onto the deck a formidable feat of strength.
Despite the challenge, the crew persisted, and after a considerable effort, the shark was gradually hauled out of the water and onto the ship\'s deck.
Its enormity was such that it almost consumed the entire deck. However, the crew was delighted when the sling was finally untied, and the behemoth creature lay motionless on the deck.
Liu Yong beamed with delight as he knew that he had secured a windfall of 300 million US dollars.
