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

Chapter 454 The Grand Finale - Congratulations!

The fishing boat cleaved through the thick, inky black sea. A biting chill seeped into every bone of every person as it cut through the deck. The deck was deathly silent, save for the low rumble of the engine churning the dark surface. The crew members, who had just been urging the boat to take a detour, gripped the railings tightly, their eyes fixed on the unfathomable black water, even their breathing becoming shallow.

Only Lin Mo stood at the bow, his expression calm. The system had already synchronized the detection data of the entire delta area. The underwater currents were turbulent, and countless unknown deep-sea creatures lurked, but he felt no fear. This journey into the eerie Black Sea was to settle a long-standing old matter that had been lingering in his mind—the source of the twelve floating corpses, the frequent attacks by strange beasts at sea, all clues ultimately pointed to this death delta that the world avoided.

The ship ventured over a hundred nautical miles into the heart of the Black Sea, where the water was utterly black, swallowing up all the daylight. The ship had to turn on its powerful searchlights at full blast, two beams of white light piercing the darkness. Soon after, the underwater sonar emitted a rapid, beeping alarm, and a gigantic black shadow, covering an area several kilometers in diameter, appeared on the screen, slowly rising from the seabed, accompanied by churning, murky black steam.

The crew tensed instantly. Wu Wei grabbed the harpoon next to him, Liangzi locked the fishing robotic arm, and A Yan checked the high-voltage electric shock equipment. Everyone subconsciously surrounded Lin Mo. The confidence they had when they subdued the giant ghost octopus last time was still there, but the oppressive feeling emanating from the creature in front of them was far greater than that of the deep-sea monster yesterday.

"Don't panic." Lin Mo raised his hand to calm the crowd's agitation, his fingertips rapidly swiping across the main control screen to bring up a specially made low-frequency sound wave device. "The strange phenomena in this sea area are rooted in the resentment accumulated by the ancient shipwreck on the seabed and the symbiosis with the deep-sea monster. It will not fight to the death on its own initiative."

Before the words were even finished, the water exploded with a deafening roar, and a gigantic colossal squid, far larger than a ghost octopus, surfaced. A dozen thick tentacles were entwined around the rusted wreckage of a sunken ship, and its dark eyes coldly fixed on the fishing boat. A faint black mist swirled around it, the very source of the eerie atmosphere in this sea area. For years, missing fishing boats and mysteriously floating corpses in the nearshore waters had all been swept to the bottom by its swirling currents.

The giant squid suddenly swung its tentacles, slamming them against the ship with devastating force, causing the high-strength alloy hull to tremble violently. Lin Mo calmly activated the sonic device; the gentle yet highly penetrating sound waves spread out, causing the giant squid's tentacle-wielding motion to abruptly halt, and the ferocity in its eyes gradually faded. This sonic wave could calm the violent rage within the deep-sea beasts. Yesterday, he had expended considerable effort to release the Ghost Octopus, thus gaining insight into the nature of these deep-sea behemoths. They never acted without cause; they were simply corrupted by the turbid air of the Black Sea and lost their reason.

Taking advantage of the giant squid's moment of calm, Lin Mo manipulated the robotic arm to release a specially made purification agent. The agent dissolved instantly upon entering the black water, and the originally thick, dark seawater visibly shed its gloom, with the filth and turbidity that had accumulated on the seabed for many years slowly dissipating. The black mist gradually dissipated, and the eerie death aura that had shrouded the delta for hundreds of years was rapidly crumbling.

The giant squid lowered its tentacles and gently touched the ship's side, as if to express its gratitude, before turning and sinking into the deep sea, never again stirring the near-shore currents. As the turbid air cleared, the once lifeless Black Sea slowly began to glow with a pale blue light, and scattered schools of fish swam out of the deep sea, bringing life back to the long-dormant waters.

The mysterious maritime threat that had plagued the coast for many years has now been completely eradicated.

Lin Siyu checked the live stream data in the backend. Millions of viewers in the live stream room were cheering and showering the screen with gifts. Countless fishermen from the coast sent private messages to express their gratitude, no longer afraid of encountering strange things at sea. The crew members' tense hearts finally settled down. Wu Wei breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately suggested setting up a barbecue grill to celebrate the completion of a major event.

The setting sun pierced through the clouds, casting its gentle glow on the now-clear delta surface. A feast was laid out on the deck, with freshly caught fish, plump squid, and sweet shellfish filling the long table. The charcoal fire crackled, and the aroma of cumin and chili permeated the entire fishing boat. Without the threat of strange beasts or the fear of the unknown, everyone raised their glasses and chatted, recounting their thrilling adventures: the initial retrieval of twelve floating corpses that caused a sensation online, the subsequent battles against various deep-sea monsters, the exhaustion from releasing the ghostly octopus, and now, conquering the eerie delta. Each event, in retrospect, felt like a dramatic and unforgettable dream.

Liangzi laughed as he munched on a grilled squid tentacle: "When I first went to sea with the captain, I was so scared I couldn't sleep. Now, let alone a giant squid, I'd dare to lend a hand to even a few strange beasts!"

Ah Yan picked up the fish soup and drank it all in one gulp: "Going out to sea with the boss, I not only made a fortune, but I also saw seascapes that most people would never see in their entire lives. It was totally worth it!"

Wu Wei looked out at the sea, his eyes filled with satisfaction: "From now on, coastal fishermen will no longer have to worry about going out to sea. We can say that we have done a good deed."

Lin Mo leaned against the ship's railing, watching the laughing and joking crowd, a faint smile playing on his lips. He opened the control panel, reset the return coordinates, and the automatic cruise system slowly activated. The ship turned around and headed towards the warm, bright nearshore waters.

After several days at sea, the fishing boat safely docked at the familiar fishing port. The shore was already crowded with waiting fishermen, reporters, and fans from the live broadcast room. When Lin Mo and his group returned, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers. This voyage had yielded a bountiful harvest, with various rare deep-sea seafood filling the hold. In addition, their achievement in purifying the strange waters earned them a banner and a generous reward from the local fisheries association.

After unloading the catch, he distributed it to his crew, and the remaining seafood was supplied to the market at a reasonable price, ensuring that every household could enjoy fresh seafood. Lin Mo would continue to sail out to sea for live broadcasts, but the seas would no longer be plagued by strange beasts; his journey would be filled only with the azure sea, gentle breeze, fresh fish, and the glow of the setting sun.

In their leisure time, the crew still enjoy fishing and barbecuing on the deck. Occasionally, when they encounter gentle deep-sea monsters, they simply keep a distance and never engage in combat or confrontation. The once treacherous sea has finally returned to its gentle nature.

Lin Mo stood on the pier, a gentle sea breeze caressing him. Beside him, Lin Siyu smiled as she set up the live-streaming equipment, while Wu Wei, Liangzi, and the others busied themselves with preparing their fishing gear. The camera slowly panned across the vast, peaceful sea, and the live-stream chat was filled with messages of reluctance and blessings.

The storm has passed, the calamity has vanished, the fishing boats have returned to port, and the people are safe and sound. The mountains and seas are at peace, and the fishermen's songs continue to resound – this is the most perfect ending for fisherman Lin Mo.
