HDRDTH -Chapter 69 Full Alert! Evacuate Everyone Immediately!

The white bait fish in the grass was still lying belly-up.

Yu Xian squatted there, poking at the fish that didn’t even weigh two taels, his face dark as a bottom-of-the-pot soot.

What the hell was this supposed to be?

That earlier brute force that could almost rip a man’s waist apart, the cunning underwater zigzag struggle—this was what it produced?

A fish that couldn’t even fill a tooth gap?

Did he, Yu Xian, spend fifty years eating for nothing?

Something was off.

Very off.

After decades of fishing, he knew exactly what underwater resistance felt like.

That heavy, dead-weight sensation… that delayed drag mixed with metallic friction—there was no way a white bait fish could produce that. Not even any aquatic creature could.

Unfortunately, Master Yu’s imagination wasn’t big enough. He couldn’t possibly guess Wang Fei’s trick, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Wang Fei stood nearby, looking down at him with hands in her black jacket pockets.

“Master Yu, a bet is a bet.”

Qin Yue immediately raised her phone toward the live broadcast camera, shouting excitedly in a piercing voice:

“Everyone saw it! Our Sister Fei caught a real seventy-jin big grass carp! Meanwhile Master Yu only got a white bait fish that couldn’t even fill a tooth gap!”

“According to the agreement, Sister Fei’s new song will be handled personally by Master Yu, and Su Xi will become Sister Fei’s sworn little sister!”

Yu Xian stood up, casually wiping mud off his left hand onto his clothes.

His biggest flaw was stubbornness. When he wanted to slack off, nobody could move him. But once he was forced into a corner, he kept his word.

“Fine. You win.”

He scratched his messy hair irritably and pointed at Wang Fei.

“I’ll write the song. Su Xi—whether she recognizes it or not, I don’t care. Don’t bother me with this again. I just want to fish in peace.”

Wang Fei finally relaxed slightly, the diva aura around her fading a bit.

She even extended her hand for reconciliation.

Yu Xian ignored it completely.

He stared at the shimmering lake surface, jaw clenched, breathing heavy.

Something down there was definitely wrong.

“Dafu,” he suddenly said in a hoarse voice.

“Yeah, Dad! Should we leave? We’ve embarrassed ourselves enough today—even small tilapia are bullying us now,” Wang Dafu said anxiously.

“Bring me the fifty-gram tungsten armor bait.”

Wang Dafu froze.

Qin Yue sneered immediately. “Master Yu, can’t accept losing? The deal’s already set verbally. Still trying to struggle?”

Yu Xian shoved her aside and strode toward a black sandalwood box.

He opened the hidden compartment and took out a heavy tungsten lure with four reinforced barbed hooks—normally used for deep-sea monsters.

“Old man only accepts the bet. Not whatever nonsense is going on under this water.”

Click.

The lure locked onto the connector ring.

His left palm was already bleeding, but he ignored it. With one hand, he grabbed the titanium alloy rod.

“Everyone back off!”

He roared.

His right leg stomped backward, flip-flop digging a pit in the mud. His body arched like a fully drawn bow.

Whoosh—PA!

The cast was twice as powerful as before.

The tungsten armor bait cut through the air and smashed into the deep-water zone.

A massive water column exploded upward.

Five meters underwater—

Old Hei, Ah Qiang, and the others were still crawling along the muddy bottom, preparing to retreat using scrap steel and aquatic weeds as cover.

Their employer’s job was done. Payment was coming. They wanted out—immediately.

Then suddenly, the water pressure above changed violently.

BOOM!

A black metal object pierced through the water at terrifying speed.

Old Hei rolled frantically aside just in time.

The object scraped past his oxygen tank.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Da Liu’s panicked voice exploded in the comms:

“Move away from that box! Don’t let the hook latch onto it!”

Too late.

The tungsten armor bait slammed precisely into the gap between two giant rocks.

Clack.

Four reinforced barbs locked directly into the lifting ring of the military-grade sealed container.

Even tighter than before—like it had been welded on.

Old Hei’s mask fogged instantly with cold sweat.

On the shore—

Yu Xian’s PE line went taut instantly, vibrating with a dangerous humming sound.

The reel couldn’t even trigger an alarm—the line had already hit its physical limit.

“It’s back again!”

Yu Xian laughed wildly, the obsession of a hardcore “no-fish-caught” angler fully unleashed.

“I knew there was something big down there!”

He didn’t even use drag control.

He slung the rod over his shoulder and grabbed it with both hands like a dock laborer.

Then he leaned forward and started dragging backward step by step.

“Dad!! What are you doing! The line will snap! The rod will explode!” Wang Dafu shouted in panic.

The surrounding anglers were completely stunned.

“The hell is he pulling—a truck?!”

A tech expert in a checkered shirt stared at the monitor, fingers flying over the keyboard.

“Resistance rising! 70 kg! 90 kg! 120 kg!”

“Stop him! Someone stop him!” the doctor screamed, glasses flying off. “That’s not a living creature—it’s a high-density metal object!”

Wang Fei’s expression changed under her sunglasses.

Underwater—

The massive pulling force transmitted directly into the sealed container.

The scrap I-beam pressed on top of it was torn away with a metallic crack.

The mud below churned violently, turning the water into a black, chaotic soup.

Old Hei and the others fled desperately outward, terrified of being crushed.

“This guy is insane!” Old Hei cursed through the comms. “Is this even something carbon-based life forms can do?!”

Creaaak—

The container was dragged free from the mud and forced toward shallower water.

On shore—

Yu Xian’s cheap flip-flops finally snapped.

He went barefoot into mud mixed with shells and stones, leaving bloody footprints with every step.

“GET OUT OF THE WATER!!”

He roared with his final burst of strength.

The surface exploded.

A massive black wave erupted, splashing mud everywhere.

Then—

A 1.5-meter-long, half-meter-wide metal rectangular box burst out of the water.

It slid up the muddy slope and slammed into the grass with a deafening BOOM.

Silence fell for two seconds.

The camera zoomed in.

Green military corrosion-resistant paint was exposed beneath the moss.

In the center: bright red foreign serial numbers.

And next to them—a yellow-black radiation hazard symbol.

Wang Dafu dropped his landing net.

Qin Yue collapsed into the mud.

Wang Fei stepped back, face drained of all color.

“DON’T MOVE!!”

A thunderous shout shattered the silence.

The police perimeter exploded into action.

“Major criminal unit! Full alert!”

“Evacuate the crowd immediately!”

Armed bomb disposal experts rushed forward with radiation detectors.

The moment the device came within half a meter—

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!

The alarm screamed violently.

Red lights flashed wildly.

“High-energy reaction detected! All units retreat 50 meters! Request chemical support immediately!” the bomb expert shouted, voice cracking.
