Ten seconds later, the fishing line was recovered to only two meters, and we could clearly see the huge figure in the sea.

"Is this a tuna?" Zhu Ya asked, staring at the gray monster in the sea with her bright eyes wide open.

"This is not a tuna! Hold on tight!" I didn't have time to say anything more. I quickly fixed the axle and took out a small dagger from the rescue box that I had prepared long ago.

Now is the time to use it.

I tied the rope around my body, turned over the side of the boat without hesitation, and held the dagger tightly, like holding an ice pick, and quickly stabbed the gray creature in the water.

This is a gray broken-tooth shark.

In theory, it should not be attracted by my bait, because the bait is too inconspicuous, and I only intend to catch a small fish.

However, the shark in front of me weighs at least 30 kilograms.

Fortunately, the broken-tooth shark is not a social species.

Otherwise, the blood flowing from the shark at this moment will surely attract more sharks, cruelly taking away the fruits of our labor.

I stabbed the shark repeatedly, feeling that I was about to lose the side of the boat. When my strength was about to run out, I turned back to the deck and turned the axle wheel again.

Soon, the broken-toothed shark was dragged out of the water, and the fishing rod was bent like a bow arm, but it had not yet reached the critical point of breaking.

Catherine tried to reach out and pull the fishing line to pull the shark closer.

"Don't be impulsive, the tight fishing line is extremely sharp!" I immediately stopped Catherine, and at the same time stretched out my arm and stabbed the dagger into the shark's heart.

This time, the shark finally stopped struggling violently.

I turned my wrist, hooked the shark with the dagger, and dragged it to the deck.

Catherine and Zhu Ya smiled excitedly, and Zhu Ya even cheered.

I was also very happy. I didn't expect to catch such a big fish this time.

I know that there is a lot of luck involved.

If it weren't in this coral shallow sea, we would never have caught a fish so quickly.

I sat down and gasped for breath, and reminded everyone not to get close to the sharks because we were all naked, so as not to be bitten or have our feet pierced by the fins.

Especially as a man, when I squatted, my exposed male organs were particularly dangerous. Once I was hit or hooked by the fins, the consequences would be disastrous.

The broken-toothed shark was not completely dead, and its body was still struggling from time to time.

Its tenacious vitality supported it to continue struggling, and I was not in a hurry to dissect it, leaving it to struggle in the blood pool on the rear deck that had been stained by its blood.

The rear deck was a sunken pool with fishing spots on both sides. Obviously, the original owner of this speedboat was a fishing expert.

The smell of blood that just flowed into the sea would definitely attract more sharks.

I reminded Catherine and Zhu Ya to stay away from the side of the boat.

After resting for a while and drinking water, I began to dissect the broken-toothed shark.

There was a coral fish in the shark's belly, and it was it that swallowed the bait and was then swallowed by the shark.

It may be that the coral fish attracted the broken-toothed shark when struggling, so I caught this gray beast.

In order to facilitate drying, I patiently cut the shark meat into slices, some of which were only about five millimeters thick, and the rest were thick fish pieces.

The thin slices can be completely air-dried tonight and quickly dried and eaten tomorrow; the thick pieces were strung together with ropes and hung on the steel structure on the top of the awning. Using the sea breeze blowing in from the window, they were completely air-dried within two days.

At the same time, I also carefully cut the fish liver, fish fat and other parts with extremely high nutritional value and placed them on the front deck.

These foods are rich in nutrients, including various vitamins, and are also the favorite of seabirds.

If there are seabirds in the sky, they will be attracted to us, and we will pay attention to the creatures in the sky.

For the fish viscera that are inedible and have a strong fishy smell, I did not throw them into the sea, but planned to dry them and use them as bait.

However, I don’t like shark meat, because shark blood contains a lot of urea, and the osmotic pressure is higher than that of seawater. Seawater will continue to penetrate into its body, thereby maintaining the body’s acid-base balance.

Therefore, shark meat and blood are salty.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don’t want to eat shark meat at all, but since it has been caught, I won’t waste it.

After dissecting this broken-toothed shark, the moon was already high in the night sky.

Exhausted, I lay on the front deck to catch my breath, looking up at the vast starry sky, and my heart got a moment of peace.

In order to reward Catherine and Zhu Ya for their efforts, I allocated some extra water and energy bars to them tonight.

We had finished one bottle of water. I told Catherine and Zhu Ya that we only had one bottle of water left and we had to hold on until it rained, so we needed to reduce the amount of water we drank tomorrow.

After hearing this, Catherine and Zhu Ya's faces suddenly showed worry. Today's water intake was their limit, and they had to reduce it further in the future, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Faced with such a predicament, everyone's heart was filled with fear.

The three of us only had one bottle of water left, which was a bargaining chip for gambling with the god of death. If we lost it, we would lose everything.

Of course, as a gambler, I would always find a way to find a bargaining chip.

If I drank this bottle of water, before I was seriously dehydrated, I would not hesitate to cut the blood vessels of either Catherine or Zhu Ya and absorb their blood.

Although blood is not as good as water in quenching thirst, in that environment, fresh blood can indeed replenish my nutrition and water.

In the face of survival, humanity and morality can only take a back seat.

In that situation, no one would feel guilty about it. Guilt is something that will happen after survival.

When people are in desperate situations, they are no different from wild animals. Hungry crocodiles or lions will not feel guilty when they eat other animals.

Human civilization is built on abundance, while hunger and poverty are often accompanied by violence and blood.

This is an eternal truth.

Of course, drinking human blood is the last resort. I have another way to get fresh water. Although the amount is small, it is better than nothing.

It is not a distillation method because we lack sufficient tools.

I walked to the front deck, took out the raisins I had collected before, and put them into the bottle little by little until it was two-thirds full.

Then fill the bottle with bitter sea water.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Zhu Ya looked at my actions in confusion, thinking that I was washing the raisins, but how could I wash them with sea water?

Besides, in this environment, is it necessary to be so particular?

"The skin and fiber of raisins can filter seawater. When it is full of water, I will eat it." I explained briefly.

Zhu Ya suddenly realized. "Then why don't we use this method repeatedly?" Catherine also came over and asked.

"After squeezing out the water once, the fiber of the raisins has been destroyed. The second time it absorbs mostly seawater and cannot be reused." I replied.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Catherine and Zhu Ya's faces.

If Catherine and Zhu Ya knew that I was ready to drink their blood, they might be even more "disappointed".

I must fish again to get some fish blood to quench my thirst. But I can't fish here, because it seems that there are many sharks in this area, and even the fish hooks may be swallowed.

Although the probability is small, I am not willing to take this risk.

After all, this is our only fish hook.
