Quick Pass: Start a grocery store

Chapter 488 488. Ocean: Stupid and Bad

Although there are only a thousand fish monsters in front of him, what about the bow?What about the stern?What about the other side?There's even a boat bottom?
The fish monster formed a huge encirclement circle around the entire ship, and then firmly enclosed the ship inside...

"A lot of fish monsters..." A crew member trembled, his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand up.

Yes.

A lot of fish monsters.

I'm afraid it can be counted in units of 'ten thousand'!

But why are there so many fish demons?
Poirot: "!!!"

At this moment, Poirot suddenly remembered what the strange thing he found when he was fishing in the fish demon this afternoon——

'Looks like you've had a good harvest? '

'Hey, that's it... This fish demon is not easy to find. We only found less than a hundred of them after half a circle. '

……

This is a conversation he had with an old captain who told him how to stun the fish monster.

less than a hundred...

They only harvested less than 500 pieces a day, so how could they catch more than [-] pieces in half an afternoon? !
Poirot was no fool, and he soon realized what was wrong.

He told everyone not to act rashly, and he rushed to the warehouse where the supplies were piled up——

Sure enough, the one hundred boxes of bait that the noble gave him had already lost more than a dozen boxes, and there were still pieces of bait on the ground that were too late to clean up.

He even found a box of baits that had been dismantled in half, but because it was piled at the bottom, if he hadn't deliberately turned all the baits out to count the quantity, normal people would really not notice this.

This is the general material warehouse of the fleet, which is very important, so not many people hold the key.

As the captain, Poirot must have the key, but besides him, there are two other people who also have the key.
One is the material manager and the other is the deputy captain.

The property management is busy distributing and transporting various materials all day today, and there are often people coming and going around.

Therefore, he had absolutely no time, and it was impossible for him to secretly open the warehouse door while everyone was not paying attention, and then took the bait inside and threw it into the sea to attract the fish demon.

Well, it's obviously already obvious who did this thing.

In Poirot's heart, anger is inevitable, but now that the situation is urgent, he has no time to find trouble with the deputy captain, and he has no time to think about why he did this.

The most important thing now is to think about how to solve the current troubles.

But before that, the trouble of the vice-captain must be brought under control to prevent him from doing other things that endanger the fleet.

After finding out the truth, Poirot immediately had the deputy captain arrested and locked in the room. The warehouse key on him was also found and kept by Poirot himself.

Although the crew didn't know why he did this, but because of the prestige that Poirot had built up over the years, and when the deputy captain was caught, he was found on the escape boat... Therefore, it is not difficult for them to guess that what happened tonight is very important. The big possibility has to do with the mate.

But now that the 'inner ghost' has been resolved, how should the current crisis of being trapped by the fish demon be resolved?

The only thing Poirot can do now is to quickly get all the remaining waterproof paint out of the warehouse, and then pour it into the nearby sea water, trying to drive away the fish demon.

As it turns out, this is still somewhat useful.

Everyone can clearly see that the pair of red fish eyes in the darkness are slowly disappearing, and the fish monsters that are constantly crashing into the ship at the bottom of the ship seem to have left, and the ship has returned to stability.

Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but someone found that these fish monsters did not leave, but retreated to a distance, still staring at them.

This means that he is not ready to let it go.

Sea water is not dead after all, it will flow.

Poirot was almost certain that as long as the waterproof paint around here drifted away with the sea water, dissolved completely, and the special smell gradually faded or even disappeared, these fish monsters would definitely ram the ship again without hesitation...

Seeing that the waterproof paint was almost used up, Poirot became very restless. While thinking about the solution in his mind, he couldn't help scolding the deputy captain for being stupid and bad.

The bait can certainly attract fish monsters and make more money, but are everyone else fools?

Did he think that he was the only one who could think of this method, why didn't he think about why so many people didn't do it?
Moreover, even the notice in the grocery store said, 'It is not recommended to use bait on Fish Demon Day'...

Is he so overwhelmed?

The problem is that it doesn't matter if he can't think about it alone, and now the whole ship will be buried with him!
Just when Poirot was on the verge of getting angry, the people around him suddenly told him good news——

"Captain! We got through! We got through!" The man ran over excitedly, holding a black object in his hand.

But as long as anyone who has been to the grocery store can recognize it at a glance, this black thing is the 'communicator'.

……

……

"Hey, brother, if you say it's strange, it's not surprising that some people really want money or life these days."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly if you have something to do, don't keep it up, or don't blame me for not bringing the canned food for you tomorrow."

"Don't, don't, I said, I said... Didn't I sail with the fleet yesterday, but the communicator kept beeping in the middle of the night, which woke me up directly, and I woke up to see, wow ...It turned out to be an unknown communication number."

"do not know?"

"That's right! I don't know each other, and I don't know how I clicked it randomly... I wanted to hang up, but the other party opened the location, and I felt that something was wrong, so I still answered..."

This person was the one whom Poirot called the crew to contact by randomly pressing the communication number.

Ever since the accident happened, Poirot had been prepared that he couldn't solve it. Fortunately, there were three communicators on board, so he arranged for three people to press the communication number and dial randomly, hoping to find rescue.

The current communication number is five digits.

In the case of three people operating at the same time, there is indeed a little hope that people can be contacted... and they did succeed in contacting.

"They were lucky, they just got in touch with me, and I just heard something from the captain..."

Fish demons actually kill each other.

It's just that they are all very smart, knowing that killing each other will hurt both sides, and the other fish monsters and fishermen will benefit in the end.

Therefore, even though the fish demons wished to kill each other, and then devour each other's 'pearls' to improve their own strength, they all restrained this desire and pointed their finger at other creatures instead.
