That night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
Faint gray clouds occasionally drifted by.
Lin Chen sat on his bamboo raft, his body rocking back and forth in a steady rhythm. Paddling with both oars simultaneously, he propelled the raft at a stable speed toward the vast, open sea.
He was once again heading to the vicinity of the shipwreck. The complex reef terrain here was a suitable habitat for most marine life, and he also wanted to check again for any new discoveries.
He dropped the heavy anchor to the seafloor to secure the raft, then tossed in the fish trap, which was weighted with rocks.
He took off his shirt and pants, put on his wetsuit, donned his diving mask and snorkel mouthpiece, and, gripping his fishing spear in his right hand, leaped from the edge of the raft into the sea.
