【Chapter 143】 The Butcher's Death (I)

ps:ps: I went to visit the patient at night and came back late. So the number of words updated is a bit small, forgive me!

At 1 a.m., the sea breeze was howling, and there was darkness everywhere.

Outside the porthole, the fin whale spewed out a jet of water, and from the balcony of the cruise room, quietly jumped a figure, standing on the head of the giant whale, the tail fin slapped the water, and quickly sank into the water, leaving only a whirlpool.

The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers.

The night was dark and the wind was high, the whaling ship had limited sight range, and the whaling cannon was difficult to aim, so it was a good time for revenge.

Forty days ago, the Kawakami Maru whale ship, which belongs to the Kawakami Whaling Co., Ltd., led a whaling ship, a transport ship, two oil tankers, and a tugboat from the wharf in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in the name of scientific research and whaling, with a quota of 26 whales, and has captured a total of 12 fin whales, humpback whales, and minke whales.

The Kawakami Maru is an old ship that has been in service for more than two decades, but it has always been a successful and exceptionally fortunate ship that nothing major ever happened.

The captain is 47-year-old Yoshio Suzuki, experienced in whaling, and was a whaling gunner, and the first mate Ryuichi Suzuki, 24 years old, is his eldest son, and the Suzuki family has been whaling for generations and is the ace butcher of Kawakami Whaling Co., Ltd.

Seven days ago, in the East China Sea, they detected a school of whales through whale finders, and the number was at least 10 or more. Yoshio Suzuki, who is experienced, immediately judged that it was a group of fin whales.

The fin whale is the second largest commercial whale species after the sperm whale, and its blubber is of good quality, refining a very clean and bright oil that is used to make precision mechanical lubricants, and its square head stores good whale brain oil, which is very profitable.

More than a dozen fin whales can be regarded as a big catch.

After an hour of sailing at full speed, I finally encountered a school of whales. The whaling ships immediately sprang into action, driving the whales in a zigzag pattern at full speed, causing them great mental pressure and drastically depleting their physical strength.

The gunners stood at the bow of the ship and watched the pod of whales intently so that they could pick out the largest whales from among them. The javelin-bearer harpoon pitcher has a shiny javelin harpoon in his hand and waits for the first mate's order.

The panicked whales were dispersed, and the whaling gunners skillfully aimed, shooting. Accurately hit the whale's back near the breathing hole, that is their key point.

A javelin harpoon towards the whale fiercely, steady and ruthless, the javelin hung behind the whaling, the whale who was shot dragged the rope desperately forward, the waves were noisy, blood droplets flying, until the blood stained the blue sea, tragic death in their own pool of blood.

The whaling boat arrives and tows the whale to Yoshio Suzuki's flagship whale ship. Transported through the whale hole into the stench, coagulated blood-filled cabin, there was immediately a skilled dissecting hand to quickly disembowel the whale. Dissected in situ, broken down into blubber and whale meat, loaded onto a transport ship via a tower crane.

Everything is in order, and the skill is exceptional. In their eyes were Mu Ran's cruelty and fiery greed, without the slightest mercy.

The whales that suffered the catastrophe were powerless to fight back. Five hours. The sea that the whaling fleet passed through was completely stained red with blood, forming a blood-colored channel.

Yoshio Suzuki was very proud of the result, but the news made him angry, and an adult fin whale broke away from the whaling and fled into the distance.

This was a great shame for him, but he calmly did not chase after him, but ordered to speed up and kill the remaining whales, with the whale finder present, it was impossible for the injured fin whale to escape.

The end result was cruel, even the young whales in the pod were hunted mercilessly, broken into pieces of whale meat, and hung on the side of the ship.

According to the guidance of the whale finder, they continued to chase the escaped fin whale day and night, until they saw the cruise ship in the distant sea, and then stopped moving.

They are greedy, but they also know that the cruel hunting of whales will attract the attention of the international community, and those boring anti-whaling ships will jump out.

The East China Sea is a sensitive area, and they have no choice but to follow it from a distance and pray that the fin whale will bleed to death.

However, until it is close to the shores of the country, it has never been able to find opportunities.

Yoshio Suzuki didn't have that much time to waste chasing after a fin whale, and a strong sense of shame drove him to take the plunge and approach the cruise ship, trying to attack before dawn and settle the fight as quickly as possible so as not to attract too much attention.

The Hinata Maru, the newest whaling ship, equipped with a new high-powered 110 mm whaling gun, was commanded by Ryuichi Suzuki, Yoshio Suzuki's eldest son, and acted as the vanguard of the attack.

Javelins were distributed, stars were adjusted, and the Hyuga Maru was brightly lit and preparations were underway for the charge.

Suddenly, the observer on the lookout shouted, "Whale, Suzuki-kun, I saw it!"

Standing on the bow of the boat, Takashi Suzuki's eyes were full of excitement, and the Suzuki family heir who was burdened with the glory of the ace butcher was the best time for him to show his martial prowess.

"Turn on the searchlight, max power!

Boom......

A column of water rose from the distant sea and headed straight for the whaling ship.

"Brutes are indeed brutes. Ryuichi Suzuki laughed, personally climbed the battery, held the trigger, stared intently at the sea in the distance, and said coldly: "Javelinmen, harpooners, prepare." ”

The sight range at night is limited, the hit rate of the whaling cannon is low, and once the target is lost, it is a waste of time to reload. But Ryuichi Suzuki is very confident, because he is a son of the Suzuki family, the blood of the ruthless butcher flows in his veins, and the front sight is as sharp as his eyes.

Boom......

Another column of water that soared into the sky.

Ryuichi Suzuki's eyes narrowed, and a cruel smile was on his face.

Come on.

Little darling.

Your loved ones are here waiting for you to be reunited!

Hahaha, maybe you'll be put on a plate in the future.

There was a bang, a huge wave surged, and a black back was exposed to the water. Ryuichi Suzuki shouted and ordered the helmsman: "Turn the rudder left, javelin-bearer harpoon-hand, ready to shoot." ”

The tail fin slapped heavily against the water, and the fin whale rushed towards the whaling ship like crazy.

Eighty meters ......

Seventy meters......

Fifty meters......

Twenty meters ......

"Shoot!"

The spear thrower raises the javelin horizontally, points the back of the head of the spear with his eyes, runs a few steps quickly, and throws the javelin out with a brush.

Modern whaling ships have long used whaling guns as their main combat power, abandoning the traditional javelin harpoon, but the stubborn Yoshio Suzuki has always believed that the ancient javelin is the most effective whaling technique.

The javelin, is the symbol of the Suzuki family.

Puff puff......

The javelins fell into the water one after another, and the black backs suddenly sank and disappeared into the sea as if they had a premonition that a crisis was approaching.

A layer of fine sweat oozed from Ryuichi Suzuki's hands, staring intently at the surface of the water, muttering, "Cunning guy." ”

A few minutes later, the whale's back reappeared, spewing out a tall column of water defiantly.

The second wave of javelins flew out again, but all of them sank into the sea, and none of them hit.

Boom......

Another column of water rose to the sky, and the purple-black whale's back was only five or six meters away from the side of the ship, and Takashi Suzuki was boiling with murderous anger in his eyes.

Bet on the glory of the Suzuki family and suffer death!

Ryuichi Suzuki let out a low roar and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh ......

The speargun connected to the whaling flew out, accurately hitting the whale's back, and a puddle of blood erupted, instantly dyeing the sea surface red.

"Hit it! Hit it!"

Ryuichi Suzuki smiled and said, "Little baby, it is your glory to die at the hands of my Suzuki family!"

Woowoo......

The sea breeze howled violently.

The waves swept by, the blood-stained sea suddenly turned back to ink, and the fin whale suddenly disappeared. (To be continued......)
