Chapter 1462: Chapter 701 Crossing the Sea Dragon and Local Snake_2

The team member who received the signal immediately reported to Sean Knight.

Sean Knight was stunned for a moment, his Sky Eye was open, and he had just seen the work boat.

This thing had no markings at all, it was neither a government scientific survey boat nor a marine patrol boat, so what right did it have to order him around?

Did they own a mine or something?

"Ignore it, keep going," Sean Knight waved his hand dismissively.

The yacht continued to circle, and Sean Knight had already seen the underwater situation.

The sea territory they had just bypassed contained a residential area—with collapsed single-story houses, a wealthy district, stone buildings, and many household items not yet completely eroded by seawater.

There were also some valuable things, but they were scattered, not very concentrated.

Sean Knight had already thought it out upon arrival. Since it was a port city, which area was most worth excavating?

First were those sea ships that came from America bringing gold and silver, meaning the Port District.

Second was the city’s administrative area—with warehouses or, rather, treasuries.

Third was the market. This was a place where businesses converged, naturally there would be hard currency used for trade.

Having circled for a good while now, Sean Knight had discovered that the port was located beneath the southeastern fishing boats, but due to the most violent seismic activity there, it was also the most deeply buried. Being so far away, Sean Knight still couldn’t see clearly.

He wasn’t worried that the people on the fishing boat would find anything—given their crude equipment onboard, it was quite unlikely they could retrieve anything.

The work boat that had just signaled them to stop, however, was positioned right near the Lord’s Manor.

Sean Knight could even see salvage robots being lowered into the water by the steel cables and hawsers on the work boat, with plenty of divers going up and down.

They must have had quite a haul.

No wonder they tried to stop his yacht; they clearly didn’t want to share the loot.

Knowing it wouldn’t be possible to make those boats leave any time soon, Sean Knight set his sights on the Market District.

After circling on the sea surface for more than half an hour, Sean Knight found the Market District—here, beneath the underwater sand and soil, lay a large quantity of cargo wreckage; it must be the Market District without a doubt.

"Let’s stop here," Sean Knight said, "And when our other two yachts arrive, we’ll have them stop here too."

It wasn’t long after the yacht stopped that the work boat lowered a rubber boat, with two people rowing over on it.

Upon reaching the yacht, the people on the boat shouted loudly,

"Is anyone there? This sea territory has already been contracted by our company, leave quickly!"

"Contracted?" Douglas Cooper appeared on the deck and said with a sneer,

"If it’s contracted, show some proof!"

The person who had spoken was taken aback at these words.

The other, realizing he was from China, reached into the rubber boat and pulled out a hunting rifle!

"Heh, trying to scare me?" Douglas Cooper looked at the hunting rifle and chuckled.

But the other side had no intention of just scaring Douglas Cooper, raising the rifle and aiming it straight at him!

"Leave quickly! Otherwise, if a boat really sinks in this sea territory, no one will be there to save you!"

The previous speaker said triumphantly.

In his view, anyone who could afford such a yacht surely was a rich second generation, someone who wouldn’t lower themselves to the level of these hardworking men toiling to make a living from the sea.

An eye for an eye was certainly not worth it!

Before, they had encountered others who out of curiosity had stopped their boats here to have a look around.

They all had been scared away by that hunting rifle.

Just as he was smugly assuming it would be the same this time, two team members appeared by Douglas Cooper’s side.

The weapons in the hands of these two team members were automatic rifles!

The two men were immediately petrified!

Pulling a gun out on the open sea meant they were definitely not ordinary folks!

"Scram!"

Douglas Cooper spat out a word with a cold sneer.

The two people didn’t dare make a sound and quickly rowed the rubber boat back toward the work boat.

"Let’s puncture the rubber boat!" As the rubber boat was still a hundred meters away from the work boat, Sean Knight suddenly spoke.

Lincoln Harrington picked up a rifle and aimed at the rubber boat, firing!

"Pop, pop!"

Two shots!

The rubber boat began to leak air.

The two men paddled desperately but to no avail, finally having to fall into the water!

The gunshots alarmed the others.

But no one dared to speak—by now, they all knew that the approaching yacht was not a soft target but a sea dragon!

People from the work boat threw out a lifebuoy, and after those two men awkwardly got on board, they recounted everything to the director.

Here, several team members armed with guns vigilantly watched the other side, while Sean Knight glanced over and said with a smile,

"Relax, it’s over now."

He could see that among the people who were rescued, the director was kicking them, apparently angry that they had provoked someone they shouldn’t have.

"Alright, let’s get to work," Sean Knight told Elijah Hastings, "We’ll start here. Dive in shifts and see what we can find."

Below was the Market District. Although there were layers of rubble and soil above, further down there were many things to be found. The porcelain from the northern power, spices from the nearby islands, firearms from the Western Realm, and gold and silver from the Eastern New World had all appeared in this market.

It all depended on whether they could dig it out.

"We need to stay alert though," Lincoln Harrington remarked, "Two people keep watch over there. If there’s any situation, I think we can strike back directly!"

Nearby, scattered here and there, were a few uninhabited small islands and reefs, likely remnants from when a big island had sunk in the past.
