"What's happening?" Sun Hongwei quickly got up, ran to the edge of the deck, and saw the scene before him. Imdiately, he was stunned!
When they rescued Ye Qiu earlier, the wounds on Ye Qiu's body were still bleeding continuously, staining the nearby sea. Now, the scent from that blood actually attracted a swarm of sharks!
A massive school of sharks!
Seeing the densely packed sprayout of sharks around them, Sun Hongwei almost fainted!
The other fishern on the boat were also incredibly terrified, so scared that they couldn't even speak.
They were just ordinary fishern, never having encountered such a situation!
A rough count of the surrounding sharks revealed there were at least thirty to forty of them!
The terrifying scene was suffocating!
"Sharks! So many sharks, what should we do? What do we do?"
"These sharks have been provoked by that guy's blood, each one has gone mad. Just now, the fishing boat shook because it was hit by a shark!"
"What do we do now? If we don't drive them away, the fishing boat might get hit and sink."
All the fishern on board were in a panic. Almost everyone turned to Sun Hongwei with pleading eyes!
Of course, two or three people looked at Ye Qiu with unfriendly eyes!
In their view, if it weren't for Ye Qiu, the fishing boat wouldn't have been attacked by this school of sharks!
However, the decision to save people was made by Sun Hongwei. Sun Hongwei was the captain of the fishern team, highly respected. Even if soone was dissatisfied, no one dared to question his decision!
"Yeah, this is really troubleso now!"
Sun Hongwei's brows were tightly knit, and faced with this situation, he didn't have any good solution!
He didn't think of blaming Ye Qiu.
After all, it was his own decision to save him. Even if sothing big happened, Sun Hongwei decided to take responsibility himself!
Moreover, with Sun Hongwei's character, even if Ye Qiu was surrounded by sharks at the ti, he would choose to save him!
How could you just stand by and watch soone die?
Just when Sun Hongwei was having a headache, suddenly, three fishern who were hostile towards Ye Qiu spoke up.
"Captain Sun, in my opinion, the reason we're being targeted by the sharks is all because of the person we rescued!"
"Exactly, if it weren't for his blood, how could we have encountered this situation?"
"Heh, I see that person is heavily injured, with wounds that look like knife cuts. Maybe he offended soone and got hacked. Probably not a good person, might as well throw him overboard to divert the sharks!"
The three fishern banded together, standing united.
The other fishern didn't speak. They didn't hate Ye Qiu as much as these three but also felt their reasoning wasn't sound!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that mont, a rumbling sound echoed out, and the surrounding sharks finally launched an attack on the fishing boat!
Three or four sharks ramd into the fishing boat in succession!
The fishing boat shook violently, and there were visible cracks where the sharks had struck, making the already terrified fishern even more anxious. All eyes were fixed on Sun Hongwei, awaiting his decision.
The three fishern who disliked Ye Qiu were staring him down, wishing they could imdiately toss him into the sea.
Sun Hongwei fixed his gaze on the school of sharks, his fists clenching tightly. After a mont, he spoke solemnly, "Brothers, even the ones who've been with , Sun Hongwei, the shortest ti has been two years.
I think you all should understand what kind of person I, Sun Hongwei, am. I would never watch soone die without helping. However, the current situation is very special. They suggested throwing the person overboard, I disagree.
Of course, from a certain perspective, if we want to survive, their decision is also correct, but I, Sun Hongwei, refuse to do it. Given the special circumstances, I'm leaving the decision up to all of you!"
Having said this, Sun Hongwei turned his back, apologetically looking at Ye Qiu.
He really didn't want to do it, but he had no choice. Given the current situation, if the sharks couldn't be driven away or lured away, the fishing boat would soon be struck and sunk, dooming everyone onboard to die!
This responsibility was too great for Sun Hongwei to bear!
Yet, he didn't want to act against his conscience, so he left the choice up to all the fishern!
If the majority agreed to throw Ye Qiu overboard, then he had no other choice!
After all, they couldn't risk the lives of a dozen or so people onboard just to save one man!
However, the developnt of events exceeded Sun Hongwei's expectations.
The surrounding fishern quickly made their decision.
"Old Sun, I disagree—throwing that person overboard is not an option. You've always told us before, saving one life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda. I've been out at sea with you for quite a few years, and we've saved people who've fallen overboard every ti. This ti is no exception!"
"Exactly, I also don't agree to throw him overboard. My father taught from a young age, if you encounter soone in distress at sea, you must save them, because what goes around cos around. If we save soone, we might even receive the Sea God's blessing."
"I don't have that many stories or reasons. I only know one thing: Old Sun has always been good to us, so whatever Old Sun thinks, I'm on board with it unconditionally!"
Except for the three fishern who were hostile towards Ye Qiu, all the other fishern stood with Sun Hongwei!
"You guys!"
"What are you up to!"
"Do you realize, if we don't throw that person overboard, our ship will sink, and then we'll all die here!"
"If you don't want to live, we still want to!"
The three fishern imdiately panicked, angrily reprimanding Sun Hongwei and the others!
They were livid, utterly unable to understand what Sun Hongwei and the others were thinking.
For the sake of saving one person, would you really doom the whole ship to death?
"You all shut up. This is my decision, Sun Hongwei's decision, and the majority agrees with it, so now no one is allowed to throw anyone overboard. If anyone dares, I'll throw them overboard myself!"
Sun Hongwei roared sternly, his expression becoming extrely serious!
"Do you think just because we call you captain, it ans you are the captain? You think you can control all of us?"
One of the fishern hostile to Ye Qiu, with the surna Zhou, shouted angrily!
"This is my boat. If you're unhappy with it, then get the hell off!" Sun Hongwei wasn't backing down at all!
The fishern who supported him also stepped forward.
Their stance was clear: defying Sun Hongwei's orders was absolutely unacceptable!
The atmosphere on the entire ship was instantly fraught with tension!
The three fishern hostile to Ye Qiu even picked up their tools, ready to fight!
But just as the conflict was about to erupt, suddenly, from behind ca Ye Qiu's calm voice, "Can I ask, is the only way to deal with these sharks to drive them away or lure them?"
"That's right." Sun Hongwei nodded slightly, "Brother, this isn't your fault. You just rest well."
"Uh..." Ye Qiu was taken aback, thinking internally that Sun Hongwei was really sothing else, then smiled and said, "Actually, I just wanted to ask, if we kill all of them, would that solve the problem?"
