Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.

Only Lin Mo.

He acted as if nothing had happened.

Despite his extraordinary physical abilities, he seemed completely unaffected by the high-intensity salvage operation.

My daily routine is as usual.

Eat and drink as you please.

They even leisurely brewed a pot of tea after the meal.

The next morning.

The sea breeze carried a slightly salty and fishy smell, but it couldn't dispel the somber atmosphere on the deck.

"Brother Mo, what do we do with these two troublemakers?"

Da Zhou pointed at the two dark iron pillars from a distance.

He lost the lottery last night, so he has to lead the moving today. Just looking at these two things makes his legs cramp.

Lin Mo stroked his chin but didn't say anything.

"Put it in the hold?"

One of the crew members boldly made a suggestion.

"If you want to die, don't drag everyone down with you."

Lin Mo interrupted him without hesitation.

"The toxins on this thing haven't completely dissipated even after hundreds of years."

"If we put them in that kind of confined space, once the toxic gas is released, anyone who goes to the bottom of the hold will have to be carried out stiffly."

The crew member shrank back, swallowing the rest of his sentence.

"Then let's cover it with something on the deck?"

Da Zhou asked tentatively.

Lin Mo looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"With two such huge pillars in the middle, will everyone have to practice hurdles when they walk?"

"If we encounter a storm and the ship rocks, someone might slip and fall on it, and even a miracle wouldn't save them."

The crew members looked at each other in bewilderment.

This won't work, that won't work.

Wu Wei listened from the side, feeling troubled as well.

If it were him, he would probably have no choice but to bite the bullet and stuff it into the hold, and then seal it up completely.

But this was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb on the ship; who could sleep soundly under such circumstances?

Lin Mo walked to the ship's side, glanced at the churning seawater, and already had a plan in mind.

"Bring over the thickest towing cable."

"Tie them both up."

"Throw it into the sea and drag it to the stern of the boat."

Da Zhou was stunned for a moment.

"Dragging it in the water?"

"right."

Lin Mo turned around.

"Seawater can dilute toxins and doesn't take up space on the ship."

"As long as the rope doesn't break, they won't get lost."

Absolutely.

Wu Wei's eyes lit up.

How does this brain even work?

Such a thorny problem was resolved completely in just a few words.

It not only solved the safety hazards, but also made use of the natural environment.

Looking at Lin Mo's calm face, his opinion of the young man rose several notches.

Soon, several crew members put on full protective suits.

Made of thick rubber, with gas masks, they look like a group of biological soldiers.

On deck, only heavy breathing and the screeching of ropes could be heard.

Even after Lin Mo gave the order, everyone was still terrified while working, afraid that even a speck of the black venom would get on them.

It took until noon to finish.

The two heavy anchors, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms each, were finally bound tightly with steel cables as thick as a child's arm and slowly pushed into the sea along the rails.

Two loud "thumps" were heard.

Water splashed everywhere.

The cable taut instantly, making a teeth-grinding "crunch" sound.

"Go to the driver's seat, start the engine, and perform a low-speed test."

Lin Mo pulled off the hood of his hazmat suit, his forehead covered in sweat.

Da Zhou dashed to the driver's seat.

The engine roared.

The propeller churns the seawater.

The ship suddenly lurched forward.

Immediately afterwards, a violent tremor came from the soles of my feet.

"Buzzing—"

The entire deck was shaking, and the iron railings next to it were making a resonant sound.

Da Zhou scrambled out of the driver's seat, his face deathly pale.

"Brother Mo! Something's wrong!"

"The ship is falling apart! The shaking is so violent!"

Several crew members panicked and stopped what they were doing, staring nervously at the seams of the deck.

Wu Wei frowned.

Dragging something so heavy is indeed prone to problems. If the keel is damaged, it's a death sentence in this sea area.

Lin Mo didn't even frown.

He walked to the stern, glanced at the taut cables like harp strings, and instantly went through the structural diagram of the ship's hull in his mind.

"What's the panic?"

"It was dragging along a dead weight of over 20,000 jin (10,000 kg)."

"The sudden force applied to the stern, pulling on the keel, is a normal physical response."

"Go to the bottom deck to check the power system and the stress points at the stern."

"As long as the structure isn't deformed, it's fine."

Da Zhou swallowed hard and quickly led his men down to investigate.

Ten minutes later.

Da Zhou ran up, covered in sweat, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Checked, no cracks found, stress points are normal!"

"Then let's set sail."

Lin Mo turned and headed towards the stairs.

"Set up automatic navigation and lock the GPS route coordinates."

"The offset should be kept within ten meters."

"yes!"

The yacht cut through the waves and sailed steadily into the deep sea.

Top-floor observation deck.

The sea breeze dispelled the tense atmosphere on the deck.

Lin Mo leaned against the railing and lit a cigarette.

The smoke was torn apart by the sea breeze as soon as it was exhaled.

I heard soft footsteps behind me.

Su Wanzheng, wearing a loose windproof jacket, walked to Lin Mo's side.

Without the spotlight and red carpet, she let down her guard and was just an ordinary woman enjoying the sea breeze.

The accompanying secretary quietly approached, handed over two cups of hot tea, and then quietly withdrew.

Not a single unnecessary sound was made throughout the entire process.

Lin Mo took the teacup and warmed his hands.

Neither of them spoke.

We stood side by side, gazing at the boundless blue sea.

Su Wanzheng secretly glanced at Lin Mo's profile.

This man, who had just been giving orders down below, calmed everyone's panic with just a few words.

Now it is as quiet as a statue.

How many secrets is he hiding?

at the same time.

Inside the cabin on the first floor.

Jiang Ran lay on the bed, her face still somewhat pale.

The aftereffects of the water pressure from deep diving have left her feeling chest tightness and pain even when she turns over.

Listening to the roar of the engine outside, she felt a strange sense of peace.

As long as that person is on the boat, it's like there's nothing to fear even if the sky falls.

The adjacent cabin.

Lin Siyu sat cross-legged on the bed, with a tablet and a calculator in front of her, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

"A bronze box... let's be conservative with the price..."

"The Sea-Stabilizing Needle... Although this thing is poisonous, its historical value is immeasurable..."

"And that nautical chart..."

"I've struck gold! I've struck gold! I've struck gold!"

Lin Siyu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

This voyage was practically like pulling the Dragon King's underwear off.

In another room.

Bai Jingxuan, wearing white gloves, was staring intently at the bronze box with a high-powered magnifying glass.

The patterns on the box surface present a strange beauty under a magnifying glass.

She didn't dare blink, afraid of missing any detail.

In the live stream room.

The camera was fixed to the side of the ship, playing a loop of footage of the rolling waves.

Occasionally, crew members would pass by, adjust their equipment, and answer a few basic questions from the viewers.

"Where's the streamer? I want to watch the streamer!"

"Is Brother Mo off researching some earth-shattering tomb again?"

"I'm sick of this sea view, can we change our shooting angle?"

The barrage of comments was flying everywhere.

Suddenly, several IDs with cool special effects made a dazzling appearance.

He's clearly a regular in the circle of rich kids.

"Stop being so sour, you guys don't know anything."

"I just took a closer look at the configuration of this ship."

"Su Wanzheng, a top-tier actress who is usually impossible to hire, is now working as an accessory on the ship."

"Jiang Ran, the captain of the Coast Guard, is a real powerhouse in the system. Now she's obediently lying in the cabin recovering from her injuries."
