The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 125 Salvaging the Sunken Ship of Golden Phoebe

Ghost ship.

These three words popped into Lin Chen's mind.

He pointed to the spiral fish emblem on the outside of the special glass.

Suddenly, I remembered the words in my grandfather's diary.

They've all gone mad... They'll do anything to find this ship, to find this marker...

Thirty years ago, Lin Dafa died at sea because of this wrecked ship and this organization.

Thirty years later, the ship actually stopped right in front of him.

"Boss... Lin Zi?"

Zhou Dazhuang's voice brought him back to reality.

He noticed that Lin Chen was staring intently at the wrecked ship, and his expression seemed a little off.

"What's wrong with this ship?"

That mutated big-mouthed fish from earlier was probably guarding this ship.

Lin Chen withdrew his hand, his eyes returning to the control panel, his gaze shifting from curiosity to scrutiny.

He decided to dismantle the ship and see what kind of monsters were hidden inside.

"Dazhuang, activate the external robotic arm and prepare for cutting and salvage."

Lin Chen's voice sounded very steady.

"What?"

Zhou Dazhuang didn't react immediately. "Boss, you're not kidding, are you? Can't you see how the water is flowing?"

He pointed at the alarmingly red water flow arrow on the screen, his voice rising considerably.

"A strong current is surging up from the trench beneath the ship, heading straight for us. The submersible's stabilization system is already at 90% power, and it's still sinking! In this situation, forget about salvage; even extending the robotic arm would break it!"

Zhou Dazhuang was sweating profusely with anxiety: "Linzi, this is impossible!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than an even stronger undercurrent crashed down upon him.

The Deepdiver One shuddered violently, causing the metal frames inside the cabin to creak.

The pieces of wood on that old, dilapidated boat started falling off with a clatter, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.

If it really collapses, everything inside will be buried in the mud of the deep sea.

Zhou Dazhuang's face turned pale. He grabbed the control panel and yelled, "It's all over! It's going to collapse! Boss, run! If we don't leave, we'll all get swept in!"

Lin Chen acted as if he hadn't heard anything, staring at the sunken ship swaying in the undercurrent on the holographic screen.

[Precision control of the deep-sea robotic arm, activated.]

In his eyes, all those turbulent undercurrents were transformed into data and trajectories.

He can calculate where the water will flow, how strong it will be, and how it will change in the next second; a three-dimensional dynamic model appears directly in his mind.

The dilapidated ship, which was about to fall apart, had its internal structure clearly marked with a bright red line, showing which parts were the weakest and which keel was about to break.

Lin Chen moved both hands.

My ten fingers are moving so fast on the main and secondary control panels that it's like I'm having a seizure.

Zhou Dazhuang was speechless after seeing what he did.

He watched as the heavy robotic arm, which had been trembling like a leaf in the undercurrent, suddenly stabilized.

The robotic arm traced a remarkably smooth arc in the frighteningly rapid water.

It dodged a falling mast and squeezed through a broken opening in the hull.

"This... how the hell is this possible?"

Zhou Dazhuang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he fell silent.

The robotic arm went inside the ship's cabin.

Countless boxes and miscellaneous items rolled around as the ship tilted, and the undercurrents churned the narrow space like a washing machine.

But Lin Chen's movements became increasingly accurate.

The robotic arm's spotlight locked onto a wooden crate half-buried in the mud in the corner.

Instead of grabbing it, he used the miniature cutter at the front to quickly cut the tattered ropes wrapped around the box.

Then, with its five claws outstretched, it gripped the box, pressed itself against the collapsing bulkhead, and retreated through another opening.

The whole process was frighteningly fast.

The first box was carefully placed into the net outside the submarine.

"continue."

Lin Chen uttered two words and controlled the robotic arm to rush towards the sunken ship again.

The target this time is a sealed-off compartment in the middle of the ship.

"Boss, that's the main cargo hold. It's surrounded by two layers of the ship's hull. The cutter isn't powerful enough!"

Zhou Dazhuang quickly reminded him.

Lin Chen remained silent, and instead brought up the hydraulic impact drill bit of the robotic arm on the control panel.

Under his control, the drill didn't just dart around; instead, it quickly drilled a row of small holes along the grain of the ship's wooden planks and the most rotten parts.

Next, the robotic arm switched to a cutting claw and tore it apart forcefully.

"Sizzle!"

A large piece of the ship's hull was torn off, revealing what was inside.

In that instant, Zhou Dazhuang stopped breathing.

The searchlight beam shone into the dark cabin, landing on a huge object whose surface gleamed with gold.

It was a single piece of wood.

A huge piece of wood, more than three meters in diameter and so long that its end could not be seen, lay there under the cabin.

It is entirely black, but under strong light, countless golden threads appear on its surface, shimmering with the ripples of water.

"Gold...golden nanmu...submerged wood..." Zhou Dazhuang's voice trembled, his eyes wide like saucers. "My God...such a big piece...how much is this worth?!"

This thing can't be calculated with money anymore.

The ship's structure completely broke, and the hull began to sink rapidly.

"There's no time!"

Zhou Dazhuang roared.

Lin Chen's gaze remained unchanged.

Several high-strength alloy cables shot out from the front of the robotic arm and were firmly driven into different positions on the large piece of camphor wood.

"Wind start! Maximum power!"

The deep-sea winch of the submersible began to hum and turn, and the alloy cables were stretched taut, slowly pulling the giant log, which was heavier than a truck, out of the shipwreck.

The ship was collapsing faster and faster.

Countless broken planks and ship ribs crashed down on the camphor wood and ropes.

Lin Chen's hands danced across the control panel, constantly adjusting the tension of each cable to make the large log dodge all the falling objects at a particularly tricky angle.

"Crack!"

The last piece of the structure connecting the nanmu wood to the keel of the boat also broke.

The entire massive piece of golden nanmu wood was completely pulled out.

The very next second it detached from the hull, the old, dilapidated sailboat collapsed with a "crash," swept away by the undercurrent, and disappeared into the darkness and mud.

Zhou Dazhuang's legs went weak, and he slumped into the chair, panting heavily, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

He looked at the huge camphor tree hanging from the cable on the screen, then at Lin Chen who had a calm expression, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Are these two monsters?

Lin Chen ignored Zhou Dazhuang, secured the golden nanmu wood and the several boxes he had previously retrieved with an external net, and then initiated the submersible's ascent procedure.

The Deepdiver One turned around and, carrying this terrifying fortune, rose towards the surface of the sea.

……

Huangni Village Wharf.

It was completely dark, and the sea breeze was a bit chilly.

Sun Heizi rubbed his hands together anxiously, pacing back and forth on the dock, glancing at the dark sea every now and then.

"They've been down there all day, why haven't they come back up yet?"

He kicked a pebble on the ground, cursing, "This damn weather, I hope something bad happens..."

Just then, one of his henchmen pointed at the distant sea and shouted, "Brother Black... Brother Black! Look! What's that thing?!"

Sun Heizi quickly turned around.

On the distant horizon, a black dot is breaking through the waves and heading this way.

It is "Deep Diver One".

Sun Heizi's eyes lit up, and he was about to wave when he stopped.

As the submersible drew closer, he could see clearly what it was dragging behind.

Under the moonlight, it was a colossal creature.

It was entirely black, but it reflected a golden light from every angle.

An indescribable fragrance wafted over on the sea breeze.

Sun Heizi took a sip.

He rubbed his eyes, his mouth gradually opening wider, unaware that the cigarette in his hand had fallen to the ground.

"I...I'm fucking..."

Sun Heizi stared at the huge "wood" for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out two words.

"I've...I've struck it rich..."
