Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

Karin is a conscientious leader. For one and a half years, the whale group has fought with killer whales on average once a month, but the five cubs are still well protected and gradually began to move with the whale group.

Shengcun and Cass are almost at the age of leaving the whale group, and Cass seems to have entered the state, often wandering outside alone, sometimes even not going home for several days.

It sent invitations to Shengcun several times, but they were all declined.

"No way, can't you still be inseparable from your mother?"

A bit of contempt appeared on Cass' face.

Sheng Cun could only smile perfunctorily.Karin is now carrying the burden of the entire whale group on her shoulders, so she can't care about him.Instead, he had to help with the baby so that Karin could make time for something to eat.

But the real reason cannot be told to Cass.If it knows that the tragedy of its own family may happen again in half a year, it will probably be autistic.

Taking the opportunity of staying in the group, he has been observing the activity data of the cubs.For example, the cub's diving limit is 1000 meters, and the top speed is only 10 kilometers per hour.

At this speed, it seems a bit difficult to escape from the whaling ship with a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, and the deep dive is barely enough.

But the cub's breath-holding time is only one hour, I'm afraid... it's too late to escape the encirclement of the whaling ship.

Fortunately, Karin plans to stay in the breeding ground in Bermuda for a few more years. The complicated environment here adds a lot of safety factor to them.

If there are really brave whalers coming in, let them lead them to the reef to fend for themselves.

After thinking about it, Sheng Cun felt that this was the safest way at present.

On an ordinary morning, Sheng Cun just woke up and was about to go to the hunting ground.

"Hey, good morning!"

The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind startled him. He hadn’t heard familiar Chinese for four and a half years. He was stunned for a long time before blurting out——

"It's been so long, I thought you had already hung up!"

"You are really not good at words as always." There was a sense of teasing in the system's tone. It was obvious that when Sheng Cun was chased and beaten by Karin countless times because he said something wrong, this guy had been eating melons in invisible places. .

Wait, didn't it say that it only reminds you when the mission starts when you travel through time, isn't it already...

Sheng Cun smelled a hint of conspiracy, and he hurriedly asked: "It's not five years yet, so the mission has been brought forward?"

"That's not it."

The system paused strangely, as if thinking about how to give some hints without spoiling the situation.

"Now I can only tell you, be careful of killer whales."

"Nonsense, of course I know, no matter how many times I have been hunted down."

Killer whales pose the greatest threat to their young, but adult sperm whales will not be at a disadvantage in a confrontation with killer whales.If it weren't for the protection of the cubs, the whales would not have experienced so many large and small battles during this period.

However, when Cass and Shengcun approached adulthood, the male sperm whale's size of nearly 20 meters was not a vegetarian. With them around, it was difficult for the killer whale to get any bargain.

The doubts in Sheng Cun's mind are getting bigger and bigger. Isn't the system able to see my life situation? What does it mean to be an afterthought?

unless……

An ominous premonition passed by, human beings are not only good at inventing tools, but also good at taking local materials and squeezing out anything that can be used in the environment.

In order to hunt in the forest, people domesticated hounds.Then, in order to chase whales in the ocean, they can also find helpers.

The most ideal predator is undoubtedly the killer whale, which is good at catching large whales.

The IQ of killer whales is quite high, and they have the endurance to track thousands of miles.

If they cooperate with humans, they only need to indicate the location of the whales, and the rest will be handed over to humans, and finally they can get part of the spoils without any effort.

No pod of orcas would turn down such a deal.

The combination of killer whales and humans... this will be every whale's nightmare.

Sheng Cun shuddered when he thought about it.

"That's it. Now that you have guessed it, please be careful. I will remind you again when the whaler appears."

After saying this, the system quickly went offline again.

Sheng Chu repeatedly chewed the system's speech.

He keenly grasped the point - "wait until".

In other words, these killer whales will not attract humans immediately, as long as they are persuaded to retreat in time, maybe they can turn their backs to the bright.

Don't worry, there will always be a turning point.Shengcun forced himself to calm down.

It seems that it is still necessary to go out for a walk with Cass. He stays in his lair every day, and he doesn't even know that the enemy has appeared.

He searched around the whale group, but Cass was not there. He didn't know if he left early or didn't come back at all.

He flicked his tail, preparing to go to inspect the territory first.

At the same time, on the Bahamas Islands in the west of the Atlantic Ocean, a fleet of three whaling ships docked, and a group of white men set foot on the beach, which was warmly welcomed by the local people.

The captain at the forefront is Ethan. With the money he earned last time, he has become a respected rich man in Boston. If he can make a fortune this time, he may be able to mix into the circle of high society Here, be a decent gentleman.

As for his fisherman background, who would care about the indelible smell of the sea?Anyway, no one will have trouble with money.

This is a British colony, and the locals also understand English.Ethan was giving a short speech, simply describing the income of whaling, and he saw the greedy light in the audience's eyes.

It seems that the crew need not worry.The plan is going pretty well, and Ethan is very satisfied.

The reason why he came here was because he heard a rumor that people here have domesticated a group of killer whales, which can help them catch a large number of whales.

It's a pity that these people's equipment is too primitive, they don't even have a decent whaling gun, let alone processing whale oil equipment.

Ethan glanced at the steamboat parked in the harbor, and frowned in disgust.

They quickly reached a consensus, and the next day, they started working together for the first time.

"According to the agreement, the final income will be fifty-fifty."

Several dark-skinned locals followed onto the boat and carefully confirmed.

Ethan let out a casual "hmm", and focused his eyes on the harbor not far away.

The black dorsal fin was out of the water, and it has been circling in the nearby waters. If he guessed correctly, this is what the locals call "whale hunting".

A sharp whistle sounded, and the group of killer whales arrived upon hearing it.

The sailors on the boat threw a few small fish, they jumped up beautifully, bit and swallowed in the air, and fell gracefully back to the surface of the sea.

Soon, their heads emerged from the side of the ship, with friendly smiles on their open mouths, and the fine and sharp teeth in their mouths were faintly visible.

"You can touch them."

Ethan wasn't interested, but he stretched out his hand and stroked the orca's forehead symbolically.

Although his skin was tanned by the weather and sun, his complexion was quite different from that of the locals.

"Huh?"

The killer whale tilted its head, looking puzzled.It didn't attack the strange hand, it just moved away uneasily.

"This guy is very obedient."

Ethan withdrew his hand and said to the people next to him.

"Of course, he is the leader of this group of orcas, and he is very human. We call him 'Old Tom'."

The sailor's tone was quite proud, as if he was introducing a good partner.

"In this case, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Ethan watched "Old Tom"'s undulating back in the sea, and waved his hand from a distance.

The ship started slowly, and the killer whale opened the way ahead. The white sailors watched in amazement and talked a lot.

"Mr. Evans, do you think we can gain something this time?" Alexei looked at the short, middle-aged man in front of him.

"God knows, but for the time being, I believe in the ability of Americans to make money. There is nothing wrong with following him."

Evans narrowed his blue eyes, his face flushed by the bright light.

It has been a long time since he went to sea in person.

While in Newfoundland, he made a small profit renting fishing boats to a group of energetic young men.It's a pity that the money was squandered in Boston's casinos, and he almost couldn't even afford to eat.

Ethan had been lucky that day, and out of some pity he decided to buy Evans a drink.

When Ethan learned that he was a fisherman and had a following, he showed a strong interest.

"Hey, my friend, I'm just short of manpower here. Do you want to go whaling? The money for a trip to sea is more than your fishing for five years."

Although he knew that this was definitely not a safe job, Evans was still damned excited.

He took Ethan to the village in Newfoundland to recruit people. Ethan caught the old fisherman Fisherman with a glance, but was declined.

"Don't waste your time, this old stubborn doesn't even want to catch too much cod, how could he go out to sea with us to hunt whales!"

Evans tried to talk him out of it.

But Ethan knew better than anyone how much an experienced sailor who could judge the current and the movements of the fish could help.

He insisted on pulling Fisherman onto the boat, but the other party only said one sentence repeatedly: "You will be punished by God for doing this."

Just when Ethan was about to give up, Alexey came to the door.

"I am Fisherman's son, and I can help you deal with my dad. But in exchange, you have to let me join you."

Although Alexei looked like an unreliable teenager, Ethan readily agreed.

Really worried about letting the child go on the whaling ship alone, Fisherman had to join Ethan's team.At the moment, he's the only crew member who doesn't show any excitement.

"God, please forgive us for committing such a sin..."

He kept making the sign of the cross on his chest, and was ridiculed mercilessly.

Alexei turned his face away, not wanting to admit that this useless man was his father.

The group of killer whales in front turned around and swam back, circled twice around the whaling ship, and then pointed in one direction in unison.

"They found their prey, everyone is ready!"

Small boats with whaling guns were lowered and stood ready to take aim and fire.

Ethan licked his lips, looking forward to the opening ceremony.

Sheng found Cass outside the territory of the whale group, which was close to the coastline and far from the activity area of ​​​​the whale group.

His eyes were fixed on the distance, and there was a strange light in his eyes.

"someone is coming."

He opened his mouth in a low voice, with a hint of fear, but more inexplicably excited.

Not just people.

Shengcun's sonar system told him that there was a group of killer whales cruising in front of the whaling ship.

The system's warning came true. If they can't be stopped here, the whales will suffer catastrophe.

Success or failure is here.

Shengcun and Cass are quietly dormant on the bottom of the sea, ready to go.

If you forget the human beings who appeared in the article, you can skip to "Whale Song 1" and "Whale Song 4", and it's time to reclaim the foreshadowing.

About the killer whales that help humans hunt, the prototype is the story between the Davidson family, a whaling family in southern Australia, and a group of whales led by a male killer whale named Old Tom.For details, you can search for reports or watch the documentary "Killers in Eden"
