Chapter Seventy-Three: Dolphin Rescue
It makes sense that the power of our watch is not enough to support the arrival of rescue, so it is recommended that everyone turn off all watches to save power, and only turn on my communication in case of emergency. [Ran^Text^Library] Katyusha affirmed his proposal.
"Look, what's behind you?" Olivia pointed not far behind Hugh and let out an exclamation.
I saw nine flag-shaped fins, cruising back and forth on the sea behind Hugh.
"Are you bleeding? I have a bad feeling ......," Katyusha asked nervously.
"After being hit just now, I touched my back, and there was a chopstick-long wound, not deep, and now I am almost numb under the immersion of seawater." Hugh didn't turn to look, recalling while replying to the other party's question, and suddenly realized something: "Don't you say that I also know what is behind it, could it be that the blood from the wound attracted the shark?" โ
"Draw your sword and defend yourself!" Olivia was the first to reach his trouser leg and pull out a military dagger, and almost at the same moment, each member of the Agent Team had a sharp blade in their hands, ready to fight to the death against the sharks.
The fins, which were floating on the water, began to swim towards the captain.
"Protect the captain." Hugh said loudly, and then he and his teammates were distributed around the captain's lifebuoy, forming a defensive formation.
"Why doesn't the shark prioritize attacking the bleeding target, but the captain?" A cloud of doubt rose in Katyusha's heart.
Just as the "sharks" were about to pounce on their targets, and the weapons in the hands of the special agent team were about to stab them, a cry close to a baby came from underwater.
"Stop, everyone, it's a dolphin!" Olivia shouted excitedly.
I saw 9 bottlenose dolphins emerge from the sea, and two of them were naughty guys, jumping out of the water, jumping over the heads of everyone and falling into the sea on the other side.
"What are they doing here? We don't have any fish to eat here. Louis was puzzled.
Soon, several dolphins answered each other's questions with silent actions: three of them pushed the captain's lifebuoy with their heads and moved forward, while the remaining six dolphins cleverly dived underwater, biting the nylon rope that held everyone together with their mouths and swimming in the same direction.
With the concerted efforts of the nine dolphins, the team gradually increased its speed in the sea.
"It looks like they're here to help us, and they seem to be taking us somewhere." Katyusha quickly understood the dolphin's intentions.
Olivia stroked a cute elf beside her with her hand and sighed, "Since ancient times, dolphins have had a natural instinct to rescue shipwrecked people in the sea, and if you guess correctly, they will move us to the nearest piece of land, it may be an island, it may be a continent, depending on where we are." โ
"It's really our luck to be able to meet them, and we don't have to suffer from being immersed in the sea anymore." Hugh smiled reassuringly.
"They help us without expecting anything in return, because of their nature to be kind to people. But we human beings are failing to live up to their precious emotions again and again. Tilting all kinds of chemical pesticide wastewater into the ocean, exploiting offshore oil fields has led to oil leaks, polluting the marine ecological environment, and now the increasingly fierce greenhouse effect is shrinking their living space, and some dolphin species are on the verge of extinction. Katyusha looked at the dolphins who were helping them out of danger under the water, and analyzed sadly.
"I remember seeing a video about a fisherman in a Japanese area who drove dolphins to a bay for merciless hunting, and their blood stained all parts of the bay red. Why are they doing this? Luis also joined the discussion.
"Because dolphins are of food and economic value to them, and killing them and reducing their numbers at the same time can also reduce the dolphins' hunting behavior for fish and not affect the harvest of Japanese fishermen who go out to fish." Hugh replied expressionlessly, the anger in his voice heating up step by step. "A group of selfish and inhumane fellows who mutilate these lovely creatures of nature for their own selfish interests will sooner or later be ruthlessly retaliated by nature."
"I really thank them from the bottom of my heart, because if we are floating on the sea with wounds and bleeding, if we encounter a school of sharks, the consequences are really unimaginable. It was these dolphins that helped us get out of danger, and with their numbers, the sharks did not dare to attack us. So that we can move to land without any worries. Olivia put her right hand to her mouth and kissed it, then imprinted the kiss on the back of a dolphin beside her.
I don't know how long it took, but the night's sleepiness hit everyone one after another, and they were half-asleep, and their consciousness gradually blurred.
By the time they opened their eyes again, the sky was already clouded, the first rays of dawn illuminated the dim sea level, and the bottlenose dolphins had been dragging them tirelessly for most of the night.
An oasis emerges in the distance above the sea, an eight-square-kilometre island dotted with white sandy beaches, lush palm trees, rocky hills and lush forests.
"Look ahead of you there's a small island." Katyusha opened her sleepy-eyed eyes, shook Hugh, who was also in a state of confusion, and then swam to the captain to the side, trying to convey the good news to him. But what Katyusha didn't know was. The old captain had left them forever sometime in the wee hours of last night, and all that was his cold body and closed eyes were in response. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and feel sad.
"Our captain is gone." She relayed the bad news to the members of the Secret Service Team, and everyone became solemn and bowed their heads in silence.
"I hope he will go all the way and have his own ocean and his own ship in heaven." Olivia drew a cross in her heart and silently prayed for the old captain.
As he spoke, the sea in front of him gradually became bright and clear, sparkling in the refraction of the early morning sun, the tireless dolphins had loaded them into the shallow water, the sand in the sea water under their feet was clearly visible, the dolphins loosened the ropes and lifebuoys in their mouths, gathered together, found the motionless old captain, seemed to realize his departure, their efforts still failed to save the old captain's life, in exchange for this wordless sad ending, they couldn't help but let out a baby-like cry, render the scene in front of you more sad.
