Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

Grandma Ton didn't go in the direction of the sunken ship at all. It turned a corner halfway and swam all the way to the south.

A large barren sea basin appeared in front of him, and there were almost no traces of life in places lacking shelter.Beyond this wasteland, it is no longer the territory of the whales.

Grandma Ton and Karin stood side by side on the edge of the sea basin, their voices were scattered by the current, and Shengcun could only vaguely capture a few syllables.

"There are five more children in this batch. It's really hard work for you."

"Remember what I gave you before."

"..."

Karin nodded silently.

"Can you stay a little longer, we all need you."

After a while, Karin's voice came, with a rare tremor.

"I can't hold on, I know my body, and I will soon be completely unable to swim."

"I heard that even a whaler would not like an old bone like me."

Grandma Ton's voice was very steady, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.In the darkness, those calm eyes appeared in Shengcun's mind, gentle and deep, he didn't know whether they were looking at the past or the future.

"It's not funny at all."

Karin's voice came muffled.

"Hey, don't hide in a sneaky way, come out quickly and say goodbye."

It turned around, and Sheng Cun felt the vibration of the sound waves reflected from its side.

It was indeed found.

Sheng Cun slowly swam out from behind the rock where he was hiding, and wanted to smile awkwardly, but found that his face was already stiff.

He slowly came to Granny Ton, raised his eyes, and saw the scars all over Granny Ton's body from the faint fluorescence of the seaweed.

Several barnacles were attached to it, already deeply embedded in the flesh.The hard shells of barnacles are mottled and mottled by generations of algae.

Sperm whales have a long lifespan, especially in the prime of life, and have few natural enemies in the ocean.

However, even a giant deep-sea beast has to succumb to a hundred years of time.When the body's functions gradually decline, the scars accumulated over the years will turn into sleepless pains, which are enough to crush its huge body.

What can he say?

Even with the short previous life, his life has only passed 20 years.He couldn't imagine what kind of magnificent life a sperm whale that lived for a hundred years would experience. He only knew that it must have accumulated countless survival wisdom.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, survival of the fittest, there is no eternal strong in nature, and there will be no feast that lasts.

Granny Ton must be more aware of this point than he is, so she chose to leave silently after arranging everything, and walk towards the final destination alone.

It's reasonable, but uncomfortable.

Sheng Cun felt that his chest was being pressed by an inexplicable force, and he couldn't breathe.

"You...I...we won't forget you!"

He held back for a long time and could only say this.

"You bastard, at least try to hold back a few words, hey, I've raised you for nothing!"

Karin hit him hard on the head.

"I understand what you mean, but child, it's normal to forget."

Granny Ton told Karin to stop and rubbed his ravaged forehead.

Sheng Cun lowered his head halfway and remained silent.

Grandma Ton suddenly paused.

"how……"

It murmured to itself with a sigh.

Sheng Cun raised his head and found that the whales were unknowingly lined up and guarding behind him.

Even the baby whales came. They didn't know what parting was, and they lay on their mother's back, their eyes still full of innocent happiness.

Cass flicked his tail at Shengcun in an inconspicuous corner, it seemed that he also guessed something long ago.

The whales lined up silently, touching their foreheads with Grandma Ton one by one.

A naughty young whale was a little scared by this vicissitudes of life, shaking its head from side to side and refusing to cooperate.

It was slapped heavily by its mother. It had never been wronged like this before, so it had to complete the ceremony with a bitter face, its small face was wrinkled, and the corners of its eyes were full of tears.

"Grandma Ton..."

There was a sudden sob from among the whales, followed by sniffling sounds one after another.

The baby whale was startled, and quickly suppressed the tears, looking around in panic.

I haven't cried yet, why did these grown-ups cry first...

Its tiny head still couldn't understand such a profound question, so it slid up behind its mother, stretched out its short front fins and patted her back, trying to comfort her.

"Okay, one by one, they are all so fragile after becoming mothers. Karin will take you with her in the future, remember to take care of each other."

Grandma Ton shook her head and pushed Karin and Shengcun towards the whale group.

"It's almost time, so everyone, goodbye."

Grandma Ton turned her head and took a last look at the whales. This is the home she has lived in for most of her life, and she just added five lively and lovely children.

The sisters of the same age as it have long drifted to that corner without knowing it. It watched the children in the group grow up, get married, and then give birth to a new life connected with its own blood.

The group of whales used to be huge, and there were only seventeen of them left after coming and going.

How many companions have disappeared in the middle of the swim, it can't remember.Countless figures, large and small, flashed in memory, and the silhouettes of the whaling ships flashed by, and half of them disappeared in an instant.

Unfortunately, it should not be able to see the growth of these five cubs.

Karin is a smart and tough child, and there should be no problem in handing the whales to her.

The huge body swims into the sea basin, and it looks extremely small in the open environment.

The whale group stayed in place, watching Granny Ton's figure getting smaller and smaller, and finally the sound waves could not be contacted.

As the sky grew brighter, the cubs gradually became more active, huddled together, and giggled.

Only when I was a child can I be so carefree.Sheng Cun thought enviously.

"Let's go, it's time to go hunting, who's turn to take care of the baby today?"

Karin turned at last and swam back.

The whale group moved, automatically divided into two groups, and began to work on their own work.

Everyone chatted tacitly about the cubs and the weather, as if no one had ever left.

Life took a few turns during this time, but no matter what, life had to go on as usual.

The breeding season is not over yet, and raising the five cubs safely is the most important goal of the whale group at this stage.

The author says:

Barnacles are a kind of marine organisms. The larvae drift with the current and grow on them when they encounter attachments. Whales are huge in size, like small moving islands. Barnacles often parasitize them. Scientists sometimes measure the lifespan of barnacles roughly Estimated whale lifespan.
