Chapter 16: The Knight Returns

In Zhang Le's keen hearing, there are countless sea creatures in the unfathomable ocean, some playing, and more hunting and being preyed.

There are all kinds of mutated or unmutated sea creatures scurrying around him, Zhang Le doesn't care anymore at this time, as long as there is no threat to his life, it will be disgusting or not.

But it's clear that nine times out of ten, things don't go your way. After a while, Zhang Le heard two unusual noises, and he was quickly approaching his side.

It's definitely a big sea creature like a shark or a whale, and in terms of speed, it's more likely to be a ferocious fish.

Zhang Le looked around while stepping on the water, and he still held on to a glimmer of hope that he would be able to see the Lychee again, no matter what it was, even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't make a mistake in the direction.

Unfortunately, the Lychee was completely gone, and only the island was faintly visible in sight.

The two voices were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Le had already seen two split waves, one left and one right, approaching him from two directions. He was utterly hopeless.

"Bang", the expected scene did not appear, and the strange thing was that two huge sea creatures actually collided together and fought each other.

"Could it be that whoever wins eats me!" Zhang Le's eyes were covered by the splashing waves, and strange thoughts popped up in his heart. The waves fell, and he saw a familiar figure.

"It's my kiss bottlenose dolphin." Zhang Le was so happy that he was about to cry.

"Dolphin, dolphin, you are my white knight, don't say that you are a female, even if you are a male, I will admit it." Zhang Le remembered Ouyang Ji's words and began to babble nonsense.

Fortunately, the dolphin can't understand such complicated words, otherwise it would be a matter of whether it can be saved or not.

After not seeing each other for more than a day, the dolphin was even bigger, and Zhang Le visually measured that it was at least twenty meters tall.

The dolphin's opponent is a great white shark with a body length of more than six meters. This is one of the top predators in the ocean, and it and dolphins are rarely interfering with each other in the sea. In terms of force value, dolphins are certainly no match for great white sharks. Unfortunately, today this great white shark encountered a giant mutant dolphin.

The dolphin's beak is very hard, and pecking is a dolphin's specialty, and the peck of this mutant dolphin is even more terrifying.

After a few rounds, the great white shark fled, leaving a piece of flesh in an unknown location.

The bottlenose dolphin defeated the great white shark and chirped excitedly, and the dolphin sound at this moment was like fairy music in Zhang Le's ears.

Zhang Le approached the dolphin, rolled over, and rode up. Naturally, the dolphin did not refuse, and deliberately dived some to make it easier for him to ride steadily.

Zhang Le rode a dolphin, full of spirit, and his thinking became clear. He took the location of the island as the coordinates and the densely forested side of the island as the reference direction, estimated the direction of the Lychee just now, and then directed the dolphins to the depths of the sea.

As long as the Lychee does not go too far and the bearing error is not large, at the speed of the dolphin, it is only a matter of time before the Lychee is found.

The deep sea at night is terrifying, but with the company of the "white knight" dolphin, Zhang Le has long forgotten his fear.

Not only that, while riding a dolphin to ride the wind and waves, he also fished some small mutant fish from the sea water and put them in his carrying bag.

Ouyang Ji has never refused mutated sea fish. The carrying bag was originally intended by Zhang Le to go to the island to collect plant seeds.

An hour later, the giant Lychee appeared in front of me. After estimating the time, Zhang Le found that his duty time had not yet ended.

He decided not to tell everyone about tonight's experience, because if the news spread, just leaving the icebreaker without permission would be enough for Director Zhao Fei to be angry.

I don't know what the dolphin has been through in the past few days, but there is a round wound with a thick bowl on the back of the lower abdomen, which is extremely terrifying.

Zhang Le also noticed it after boarding the Ice Dragon Base, because the dolphin deliberately turned over and showed him the wound.

remembered that a few days ago, Wang Zhigao said that dolphins were chased by something, it should be true.

Zhang Le patted the dolphin's head, regardless of whether the dolphin understood it or not, told the dolphin not to go, waited for him in place, and then went straight to Ouyang Ji's laboratory.

Rang the doorbell of the laboratory, and in the process of waiting, Zhang Le found that there was a palm-sized piece of meat on the back of his calf, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the tongue part of the monitor lizard.

The monitor lizard's tongue has many barbed spines, and the tip of the tongue is just like that, and it is tightly attached to the leather pants.

When Zhang Le cut off the tongue of the monitor lizard for the first time, he didn't pay attention to where the cut part went, but he didn't expect that the small tongue actually shrunk into a ball and hung on his hind calf.

Thinking of the horror of this lizard, Zhang Le was still a little afraid, but now this monitor lizard not only has no tongue, but also blind eyes, and it will not be long before he thinks about it!

Zhang Le picked off this piece of tongue with a dagger, and found that there were shallow and dense holes in the leather pants, which were punctured by the barb on the tongue, and it seemed that he was going to change to a stronger pair of leather pants.

He put the tongue in the carrying pouch with the mutated small fish, tightened the string of the carrying pouch, and pushed the buckle on, believing that Dr. Ouyang would definitely like this thing.

Ouyang Ji was really in the laboratory, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Zhang Le, and he actually smiled.

Seeing that Ouyang Ji was in a good mood, Zhang Le handed over the carrying bag and said, "Teacher Ouyang, excuse me, there is a little mutated fish or something here, you can keep it to see if it is useful!" ”

Ouyang Ji let Zhang Le into the room, which was the outer room of the laboratory, and there was a changing room and disinfection room separated from the laboratory.

Ouyang Ji took the bag and said, "It's not going to be about this, I've already injected the booster into that budgie and I'm observing, do you want to come in and take a look?" ”

Zhang Le waved his hand again and again: "No, Mr. Ouyang, it has to be disinfected when you go in, it's too troublesome, I have something I want to ask you to help with, that dolphin is back, it is injured, it is very serious, can you inject it with a little gene recovery medicine." ”

Ouyang Ji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Okay, this is a hurry, wait for me." ”

After speaking, Ouyang Ji took Zhang Le's carrying bag into the laboratory.

Three minutes later, Ouyang Ji walked out with a large medicine box. Waiting for Ouyang Ji to change into outdoor shoes, Zhang Le took Ouyang Ji and walked towards the position of the dolphin.

The dolphin was really still there, it looked at Ouyang Ji and then at Zhang Le, looking a little restless, probably remembering not very good memories.

After Zhang Le stepped forward to appease him, the dolphin still chose to trust the two and took the initiative to turn his belly.

Since the boat was still moving at a slow pace, it was not convenient to examine the wound.

Zhang Le put down a few more rows of protective walls, and then worked with Ouyang Ji to tie them with rubber tape at the position of several fins of the dolphin, and the other end of the tape was fixed on the ice dragon base, so that it would be much easier to check.

The dolphins did not resist during the whole process and were surprisingly cooperative.

Ouyang Ji put on silicone gloves, touched the round hole-like wound that was inflamed for a while, and said to Zhang Le: "It should be left by the swordfish, and the large swordfish is a killer whale that must also go around, in this environment, if it mutates again, hum." ”

Ouyang Ji didn't continue, and the meaning was obvious, the dolphin really encountered a natural enemy that he couldn't provoke.

However, the most powerful weapon of the swordfish is the bone spur in the mouth, and it relies on speed and surprise to attack opponents, and if it misses a single blow, it has no special advantage in fighting other large ocean predators.

Looking at the condition of the dolphins, although they were attacked by the swordfish, it is estimated that the swordfish did not get any benefits from the dolphins, otherwise the dolphins would not be alive.

Ouyang Ji first injected the dolphin with local anesthetics and antibiotics, then removed the carrion near the dolphin's wound, and finally injected the dolphin with a recovery injection.

The dolphins are smart and quietly cooperate with the treatment throughout the process.

Ouyang Ji poured another bottle of anti-inflammatory water into the dolphin's wound, and then used a large piece of gauze to symbolically bandage it, although the anti-inflammatory water was quickly washed away by the seawater. But everything Ouyang Ji can do has already been done, and the rest depends on the dolphin's own creation.

Zhang Le untied the dolphins, and this time the dolphins did not hide in the seawater, but began to chirp happily around the slow-moving Lychee and the Ice Dragon Base.

It was half past ten in the evening, and Zhang Le's middle shift time was over.

Saying goodbye to Ouyang Ji, Zhang Le slowly walked towards the Lychee, this night was too much of a toss, he just wanted to go back to sleep quickly.

The chirping of the dolphin attracted the attention of the crew on the Lychee, only to hear Zha Xiaoxia shouting excitedly: "Sister Fei, Sister Chen, look, Zhang Le's dolphin is back, oh my God, it's getting bigger again!" ”
