263. Barnacle Cleaner
After the cooperation between the countries was gradually implemented and carried out in an orderly manner, the Jiaolong carried the players to continue their marine research mission.
The lively atmosphere on the high seas has returned to its former calm with the departure of ships from all over the world.
This time, not a single innocent life was swept into the ship's propeller and died, and the sea animals that guarded the lives of their fellow seamen were rewarded with octopuses and hawksbill turtles instead of players.
Only the last two of the distorted baby sharks are still alive, and they are very violent and ferocious due to the mutilation and pain they were born with.
Even so, the few players who took care of it did not let it go, and still took good care of them, observing and recording their physical condition.
……
"Qinqin, ahem, my ocean partners heard that you humans have a skill, professional barnacles, no, they all came to me to line up to sign up."
The hawksbill turtle finished speaking embarrassedly, and a sea animal lined up behind it couldn't wait to show its head.
It is a leatherback turtle that is larger than the lid of the farm's large iron pot.
"This is also my distant relative, but it is quite old, and it can be regarded as an ancestor-level turtle." Hawksbill turtles introduced.
Originally, it only happened to meet this leatherback turtle whose shell was covered with barnacles, and saw its discomfort and difficulties, thinking that it could contact humans to help it and decided to help it, but along the way, it encountered more and more "sympathetic" marine animals, and they all lined up spontaneously and orderly.
"Yo, this is a real hammer. Hahaha. Lan Lan on the side couldn't help laughing, she had just seen a news before, saying that a whale covered with barnacles took the initiative to find humans to help clean up, and the copywriting at that time was "Marine animals know that humans are good at cleaning barnacles, and this news has spread in the ocean."
"Come on, roll up your sleeves, it's rare that we also encounter a request for help from our ocean friends, and we must serve it in place." Lao Tian said excitedly.
The faces of the players who heard the news were eager to try.
Even the few foreign players who stayed on the Jiaolong and were responsible for taking care of the distorted little shark looked at it with a shocked and excited face.
Soon, starting with the leatherback turtle, the public welfare activity of "Removing Useless Parasitic Organizations for Marine Animals" kicked off.
"It is said that barnacles are a very delicious and rare seafood, let's put them away first and try it, don't waste it."
Tang Qinqin set up the basket on the deck and waited for the harvest.
It is not easy to remove the barnacles that are almost all over the heads and backs of marine animals, they have strong adsorption power, and they are tightly clung to the carapace and skin of marine animals, refusing to let go.
However, for human players whose per capita physical fitness has been significantly improved and strengthened, this is just a matter of a little effort.
As the marine animals who had completed the parasitic tissue removal operation and enjoyed a wave of body massages were reluctant to leave one by one, more and more marine animals came from far and wide to hear the news.
Seeing that the animals lining up in the ocean have formed a line with no end in sight, the busy Jiaolong players have to urgently contact new partners in various countries.
However, since this is not a game mission, there is no good game reward, and not many people come.
Takahashi was originally working seriously with his teammates, but when he heard that the little man didn't plan to come over because he didn't have any benefits, his "morale" gradually wore off, and his movements began to be confused.
The marine animals he handled endured again and again, and after they couldn't bear it anymore, he and his teammates were picked up and slipped out to receive a harsh criticism and education through a backhand "report" from the hawksbill turtle.
Takahashi lost face and looked impatient, and the rolling eyes meant that he secretly had another bad idea.
……
A large whale, almost as large as the Jiaolong, plunged headlong into the sea with pleasure, removing the barnacles that were in the way of its skin, and it felt relaxed and refreshed.
It sang merrily and gradually moved away, and the song was empty and long.
A whaling ship.
Several whaling hunters were chatting in high spirits.
The one with the most arrogant expression is a small man with a very bad reputation.
At this time, he was holding a sharp harpoon that shimmered with cold light, and his eyes were fixed on the movement of the sea.
"I said, are there really whales here? Could you be mistaken? Someone came over and asked.
"Can't wait for a while? No wonder you can't do big things! The little man snorted contemptuously in an arrogant tone.
"Hehe, okay, then let's continue to wait, don't let the brothers run in vain, it's thankless!" The visitor left the conversation and turned to leave.
When the little man saw him gone, he took out his phone and quickly dialed a number.
"Hey, Brother Gao, is your news reliable? Where? Good. Don't worry, after the deed is done, I can't lose you. ”
He put down the phone, feeling a little settled.
Soon, sonar devices installed on whaling ships caught a figure getting closer, and the data analysis was that it was a huge sea creature.
Isn't that the goal of their trip!
The corners of the little man's mouth rose when he heard the news, as if he had seen a "bumper harvest" scene for a while.
Whales swimming in the ocean felt a little uncomfortable and dizzy.
It found itself struggling to discern its direction, and its sound waves were severely disrupted.
The good mood is gone, and it looks around in the sea in a panic, trying to find its familiar route.
It had already been located by the whaling ship, unaware that it had been targeted by the greedy devil at this time.
……
Takahashi looked at the sea in the distance.
After seeing the many whales lining up in the sea, a greedy thought crept into his mind.
Since you have come to "throw yourself into the net", I can't help but accept your good intentions, right?
What kind of public welfare rescue, what kind of ocean friends, are just some low-level creatures that can be slaughtered by others, and they are just tools that can make him profitable and make him rich.
When his eldest brother succeeds, his benefits are indispensable.
And this group of stupid and busy people in front of them, it takes time and effort, and what can they get in the end?
In the ocean in the distance, a mournful roar suddenly sounded.
The disoriented whale crashed headlong into the whaling ship defenselessly, dizzy and at the same time, the skin was cut by the propeller, and the flesh of the deep wound was opened.
The person who had been waiting for it for a long time quickly spilled the fishing net and quickly pulled the net before it could react.
"Hahaha, good luck today, it's done, it's so worry-free." I didn't even use a harpoon, and a stupid whale took the bait, yes, yes.
The little man smiled obscenely.
The wounds of the whale that were pulled up by the fishing net were still bleeding, and the whole whale could not move, and the strength of the struggle was very small.
The smell of blood in the sea spread quickly.
Seeing this, the nearby marine animals fled in a panic and quickly spread the news.
When the octopus heard the news, it quickly sent a message to the players on the Jiaolong.
"Human, come and help, there is a whale that has been hunted miserably, and the location is ......"
