Chapter 38: Humpback Whales

After everyone finished deliberating, they walked towards the trembling area in the distance, and when they got closer, they saw that in the densely entangled cannibal cannibals, there was a huge pitch-black thing, which was constantly struggling inside, and one eye was revealed during the struggle. The eyes were dark and clear, and when they saw us, the dolphin-like voice became louder.

Professor Lin was surprised and said, "It's still a humpback whale." ”

I do know that humpback whales, this kind of whale is medium-sized, generally 12 to 13 meters after adulthood, what we see in front of us should be a juvenile whale, it looks only about seven or eight meters, the back is pale black, the jaw is snow-white, very beautiful, and when we see us, they call more cheerful, such as human nature. It is said that the whale has a large brain capacity and is a very intelligent animal, and the dolphin is a close relative of the whale, and its wisdom is obvious to all.

The crowd didn't say much, and the four of them immediately pulled out their daggers, and took me, tofu and carp, and the group went into the water with weapons. The water is full of tangled cannibals, these things entangle the whale, so that it has no way to escape, we use daggers to cut off these resting cannibals, due to the large number, it really took a lot of effort, up and down, ups and downs countless times, this is a way.

The whale was very clever, and probably sensed the loosening of the man-eating scorpion, and soon cooperated with us motionlessly, saving us a lot of trouble.

As soon as the underwater passage opened, it immediately dived down, burrowed into the water, and disappeared without a trace.

After some tossing, several of us big men were out of breath, and I said, "The whale has also been saved, it's finally fine, it's time to go back." This time, Professor Lin and the others had no opinion, and everyone took the raft back to the road. This time I went to sea to toss and tossed enough, nothing was done, and I got into a lot of trouble. Fortunately, these cannibals are all in a state of being full, if they are not full, let alone coming in, even if they do, they have to be like a mouse seeing a cat and running away.

When we left the cannibal area, the raft did not rise again, we steered the raft, and when we were about to swim back, we suddenly saw a black shadow in the sea under the raft, and the black shadow rose quickly, which turned out to be the humpback whale we had just rescued. This thing was seven or eight meters long, and it was level with our raft when it surfaced, and the three rafts together were not as big as it, and it came out coldly, startling us.

Although we saved it before, this thing is an animal after all, and there must be no such thing as repaying the favor, such a big person, just one top, can drop us into the sea. Tofu was even more shocked and said, "Oh mom, this thing doesn't eat people, right?" ”

I said, "You don't have common sense, the main food of humpback whales is fish and shrimp, and they have no interest in people, and besides, you don't have a few taels of meat on your body, don't you waste your chews when you eat them?" ”

As we spoke, the humpback whale was right next to us, and it didn't leave, but the raft drifted forward, and it swam slowly with it, like a large bodyguard. A pair of black eyes, a mouth a bit like a dolphin, the corners of the mouth bend upward, as if laughing. This cute image immediately aroused the great interest of Duan Fei's three women, and they couldn't help but cautiously try to touch it.

The humpback whale was very cooperative, and when people touched it, it actually turned over, revealing a snow-white belly.

Not to mention me at this moment, even Professor Lin was surprised, pushed the glasses with only one lens left, and said: "The mammal's belly is showing its belly, which means trust and goodwill, this humpback whale is too smart to know that we saved it." ”

I also felt strange, so I stood next to watch the excitement, Tofu immediately rushed up, reached out to touch the belly of the humpback whale, touched for a while, the humpback whale turned over and swam forward for a distance, jumped up violently, the black and white streamlined body drew an arc between the sea and the sky, and fell into the sea, splashing countless splashes.

A-Ying applauded and laughed: "Oh, it's so beautiful." "Everyone was hit by this trip to sea, and now they are in a trapped situation, and their mood is not happy, looking at this scene at this time, let alone A-Ying, even I feel a lot more relaxed and happy. The humpback whale was probably playing, and it didn't swim far, just going up and down around our raft, occasionally with its head out and its mouth pointing up, looking at the people on the raft.

It was so lovely that everyone loved it and let it linger.

After about an hour, we saw the reef from a distance, but we were dumbfounded because the boat we had fixed was gone.

Although the ship has lost its navigation function, it is also our place of refuge, and we can sleep peacefully in the wind and rain on it, and this round trip is only an hour, why is the ship gone? Everyone was shocked, and quickly returned to the reef, trying to find out the reason. I saw that only half of the two ropes that were tied to the boat were still attached to the reef, as if they had been broken.

This rope is a professional equipment mixed with steel wire, it is impossible to break it for no reason, and it is also broken at the same time, which is really unusual. I immediately picked up the break of the rope, and when I looked closely, my heart jumped for a moment, and the secret path was not good. Thousands of precautions, home thieves are difficult to prevent, how can there be a disaster in our team?

The break in this rope is very strange, most of it is neat, it is obvious that it has been cut by some sharp object, and a few are broken. It was obvious that while our group was disassembling the bottom plate and preparing to go to the rescue, someone deliberately cut the rope. He didn't cut the rope completely, but left a small handful so that we couldn't notice anything unusual when we left.

After we left, the boat was constantly pulling because of the surging waves, and the remaining handful was not enough to support it, and it quickly broke off, which is why it caused the current scene.

Who did it?

My mind was filled with questions, this man must be someone on our team, but what reason did that person have to do that? What good can he gain by cutting the ropes? Why don't you sleep on the reef? Even if there are really people in our team who have any different intentions, they should definitely not do such things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to themselves.

I carefully recalled the scene at that time, but unfortunately at that time, everyone was busy with their own work, and no one paid attention to anyone, and everyone could be a suspect, and I couldn't remember anything at all. I couldn't help but think of what Gu Wenmin didn't finish saying that night, she said that Duan Fei had a problem, and it seemed that she had to find a chance to ask. I subconsciously glanced at Duan Fei, but her expression was not unusual.

Tofu sat on the reef and said, "It's okay now, the boat is gone, let's knock on the door with Coptis chinensis - it's hard to get home." He then looked at me and said, "Lao Chen, have you looked at the rope for a long time, and have you seen any movement?" "I lied that I didn't know, and only said that the quality of the rope was not up to par, and I broke it, so I didn't say more.

The humpback whale was playing around the reef and didn't leave, as if it were our group's companions. After some tossing, everyone was already empty, thirsty, and could only find food first. Nowadays, there is fire and no fuel, and everything can only be eaten raw food, fortunately, carp and A-Ying are veterans at sea, and it is not difficult to find food and drink, but the taste of eating raw fish meat and drinking fish blood and fish juice is not to mention, and after eating, I don't want to recall, and I want to vomit when I recall.

When the belly problem is solved, it has been night, we can only find the reef high place to sleep, the craggy sharp stone is very stinging, sleep is not stable, in the middle of the night tofu eat raw food is not used to it, make a stomach, run to the other end of the reef to put grass, I slept in a daze, suddenly heard tofu calling me: "Lao Chen, Lao Chen......"

Before he could speak, I said, "Don't ask me for these things, just wash your butt with seawater, old man, don't be so particular, I'm going to sleep." In an instant, Tofu walked up to me, shook my shoulder, and said, "Wake up." "This kid usually doesn't have anything serious, if he really encounters an emergency, he can't be so quiet, and he will make a big fuss a long time ago. I was sweating and sweating during the day, and I was very tired and didn't want to open my eyes, so Tofu propped up my eyelids with his fingers, stared at my eyeballs and said, "Something is coming towards us, it looks like a boat." ”

Boat?

I motioned for Tofu to put his hand down, and I didn't agree with him, because when modern ships are moving, the sound of the engine is relatively loud, and if a ship is really close, it will be heard by a long time. Seeing that I didn't believe me, Tofu pulled me up, stretched out his hand to the north, and said, "Look...... Over there. Looking at his fingers, I couldn't help but rub my eyes hard.

There really is a ship on the surface of the sea, and it is coming from the north to the south, and it will pass by our reef belt without accident.

I was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to wake up, and the group got up from sleep, and suddenly encountered such a big surprise, they were a little out of proportion, and shouted and waved at the boat. It was night, there would be no mirage, the ship was genuine, with a large dim light bulb hanging on top, and the hull was faintly illuminated, and it was coming towards us out of the darkness.

To get its attention, we turned on the flashlight and waved it, and the boat was heading towards us. We were so excited that we didn't notice anything strange about the ship, and it wasn't until it came to the edge of the reef that we realized something was wrong.

This ship is actually made of wood all over, you know, in modern times, such ships have almost been eliminated, who will appear here in such an old ship?

Except for the light bulb on the bow of the ship, the whole ship is very quiet, there is not even the sound of human footsteps, we have encountered too many bizarre and strange things before, and now we can't help but have more eyes, thinking that this ship is a little strange, could it be a pirate ship again? These pirates are really bold enough to dare to commit murder on such a broken ship.
