A three-meter-long swordfish floated in the sea. Chen Zhao pulled on the fishing rod unhurriedly.
One had to admit that the fishing rod was really tough. The swordfish was at least 250 kilograms, so its strength in the water was probably 800 kilograms.
But the rod didn't break, and the line didn't break either.
Chen Zhao's arms were like the Sea Stabilizer. They didn't move at all.
"What a big swordfish!" Fali exclaimed.
Chen Zhao slowly reeled in the line.
Fali immediately called the underling over. "Get ready. We can eat sashimi tonight. Oh, which one of you knows how to make sashimi?"
Sashimi was all about knife skills. It wasn't that complicated.
Of course, the types of fish were very different.
The best sashimi was tuna, but swordfish was also a good choice.
Be it swordfish or tuna, the bigger they were, the more delicious they were.
Chen Zhao finally pulled the swordfish to the side of the boat. Then he used the harpoon to pull it onto the boat.
He cut off a piece of meat from the swordfish's back.
This was the swordfish's most developed muscle, as well as its most valuable part.
The first piece was for Fali, of course.
The underling immediately prepared a dipping sauce for Fali.
Actually, the best seasoning for sashimi was wasabi.
However, wasabi was too spicy and irritating. It wasn't suitable for pregnant women.
These underlings were perversely obsessed with their master's eating habits.
They might even know what they wanted to eat better than Chen Zhao and Fali themselves.
For example, if Chen Zhao didn't look good in the morning, they would choose to prepare breakfast for Chen Zhao.
After Fali got pregnant, she would occasionally eat something she didn't want to eat. The underling would also remind her immediately.
Apart from King Kong, who was a pure vegetarian, the other pets wouldn't reject sashimi.
Of course, there was one family member that couldn't eat it.
It was Blackie.
Blackie watched the family eat sashimi and kept muttering.
"I really want to taste sashimi."
"Beelzebub, what does sashimi taste like?"
"Carrie, do you taste sashimi like this?"
"King Kong, you can eat it. Why don't you?"
"Mistress, pregnant women shouldn't eat too much sashimi," the underling said.
"Why?" Fali asked, confused.
"That's because most swordfish have the problem of excessive metal content. Swordfish spend their entire lives swimming, and they often pass through heavily polluted waters, so their food sources are more complicated."
"Chen, is he telling the truth?"
"Yes, just try one now," Chen Zhao said with certainty. "After you give birth, you can eat as much as you want. Just try to eat less now."
It wasn't that every swordfish had excessive metal content, but Chen Zhao didn't know if this one had.
Generally, the bigger a swordfish was, the older it was, and the larger the sea it had swum through. Therefore, the possibility of it having excessive heavy metals was also higher.
For example, in Japan, sashimi is their national dish.
Every year, there were hundreds of cases of heavy metal poisoning caused by eating tuna or swordfish, which led to cerebral hemorrhage and stroke.
Chen Zhao was also against Fali eating sashimi.
But he couldn't completely stop her from eating.
Therefore, he still cut a piece.
He couldn't eat more.
Chen Zhao also had to be responsible for Fali and the child in her stomach.
Hearing Chen Zhao's answer, Fali immediately lost her appetite for sashimi.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Fali, don't be so nervous. It's not as serious as you think. It's not like you can't eat anything."
…
"Professor Ruffalo, I don't need to say more. You should know your situation. I want to know the location of the Kamasa Ruins." Gold-toothed looked at Professor Ruffalo.
Professor Ruffalo stared coldly at Gold-toothed and the pirates. "I don't even know how to find the Kamasa Ruins."
Without any warning, Gold-toothed raised the gun in his right arm. Without even turning his head, he aimed at the team.
No one knew who he was aiming at. Everyone huddled together in fear.
Bang!
One of the members of the expedition team was instantly hit in the head, and everyone let out a scream.
Gold-toothed didn't care who he hit. He just needed to force Professor Ruffalo to speak.
"I really don't know," Professor Ruffalo shouted anxiously. "Let these kids go. They're innocent."
Seeing a team member fall to the ground, Professor Ruffalo's heart bled.
Gold-toothed fired again. Connoris screamed. She was shot in the chest and fell into a pool of blood.
"I really don't …"
Before Professor Ruffalo could finish, Gold-toothed fired again. Another child was killed in front of Professor Ruffalo.
"What did you say?"
"I … I …" Tears streamed down Professor Ruffalo's face. "Don't kill anymore, don't kill anymore …"
The oldest of the children had been with him for more than a decade. The youngest had only been with him for two or three years.
One or two hadn't even graduated from university.
"Boss, how could you bear to kill such a beautiful woman?" Benedict looked at Connoris's corpse with a look of pity.
Gold-toothed waved his hand. "Wash the deck."
Three corpses were thrown into the sea, but the killing on the pirate ship didn't stop.
Gold-toothed was getting impatient. "Professor Ruffalo, I'll ask you one last time. Where's the Camassa Ruins?"
Professor Ruffalo knelt on the ground and cried. "I have a diary left by Professor Charles … Maybe there's a clue."
"I went through your room. There's nothing."
Professor Ruffalo took out his phone. "Save it on my phone."
"Why didn't you take it out earlier? Why did you have to wait until I killed them all?" Gold-toothed shook his head. "Lock them up."
…
Ring, ring —
"Another fish?" Chen Zhao was surprised. "Huh, is it a dead fish? How come there's no pulling force at all? "
Chen Zhao felt the pulling force on the rod. It was quite big, but there was no pulling force at all.
Chen Zhao started to reel in the rod. In the darkness, something was pulled to the side of the boat.
"Chen, it's a person … a person!!"
Chen Zhao saw it too. Looking closely, it was none other than Connoris in the water.
Chen Zhao dragged Connoris onto the boat. Fali also went up to check.
"Is she dead?"
Chen Zhao checked. "She's still breathing weakly, but she's not far from death."
"Can you save her?"
