Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

"Too bad..."

Fischman grabbed Alexei's clothes with all his might and dragged him to the floating wreck of the whaling boat.

Keen sailors have already smelled the dampness in the air, and the weather in Bermuda is like a child's face, changing at will.

The sea breeze suddenly picked up, and the sea surface rolled uncomfortably. The clouds that formed before did not know when they quietly gathered and merged into a towering cloud mountain.

There are leaden patches at the bottom of the clouds, and there is definitely a storm brewing there.

Ahead, two sperm whales were still playing cat-and-mouse with the surviving whaling ship. Fisherman seemed to have returned to that sultry afternoon, standing on the capsized fishing boat, holding a harpoon and confronting a gray whale.

Among the ups and downs of the waves, he saw a pair of crazy eyes.

In the past, when the neighbor's dog got rabies, and the six relatives bit the person without recognizing them, they also looked like this.

Perhaps he was the only human standing upright. The gray whale's eyes slowly turned and fell on him.

This posture, either you die, or I die!

The willpower to survive allowed Fisherman to display unprecedented jumping ability. He raised the harpoon high, jumped onto the back of the gray whale, aimed at the vent hole, and plunged in hard.

Half of the harpoon was pierced into the flesh, and the gray whale rolled and struggled. Fisherman suppressed his nausea and hugged the harpoon handle tightly. This was the last straw.

The gray whale finally stopped struggling in the pool of blood, and he won.

However, the matter did not end. When the fishermen who had escaped from the dead came back with the big boat to collect the dead body, they found a gray whale calf circling around the dead body of the mother whale, not avoiding anyone.

"Can you let it go?" Fisherman couldn't bear it.

"Buy one and get one free, this is a gift from God." Of course the captain didn't agree, and happily dragged two whales, one big and one small, back for the journey.

It's not my fault, it's just self-defense.He consoled himself.

But the mother whale was indeed killed by you. If the mother whale does not die, the cubs will not die either. This is all your fault.There is always a voice whispering in my heart.

Fisherman couldn't help retching as soon as he landed, followed by half a month of insomnia. As soon as he closed his eyes, the screams of whales lingered in his ears.

So he finally made up his mind to leave the fleet and return to his hometown to make a living by fishing.

He became a devout Catholic, and he prayed day and night, and finally tricked himself into forgetting this sin.

The coming storm, the crazy whale, the broken ship... All these are like the scene of that day reappearing. He has escaped for more than ten years, but he has not escaped his fate after all.

This must be their judgment!Finally...the day finally came...

Fisherman's heart was extremely quiet, but there was a sense of relief.

but--

"Rumours, the rumors are indeed true, there are really curses on these explosive darts!"

Alexei's teeth were chattering constantly, and his beautiful gray-green eyes were filled with tears of fear.

Fisherman sighed helplessly, and stroked his fluffy head soothingly.

Although the child was a little timid and rebellious, his hands were still clean.

The young man's three outlooks are biased by the messy environment. When he sees the horror of the ocean, he will not want to challenge the way of nature.

So, at least, he didn't deserve to die at this time.

As a father, he has to protect his children.Fisherman's lifeless eyes finally began to roll.

"Can you still move? The storm is coming, we have to get back to the boat."

After searching for a long time, Fisherman finally picked up the oar that flew far away and stuffed it into Alexey's hand.

Taking advantage of the sperm whale chasing away, the father and son manipulated the plank with difficulty and approached the whaling ship from the other side.

Behind them, the sailors who fell into the water also hugged the floating planks and swam secretly towards the whaling ship.

Sperm whales can turn back at any moment, and it would be wise to slip away quickly.

At the edge of the Sargassum Sea, the pursuit of Shengcun and Cass was not smooth. The two whaling boats escaped faster than mice and had already escaped into the thick seaweed layer.

The whaling ship was not far away, and the two of them did not dare to approach rashly because they were afraid of the range of the whaling gun.

Sheng Cun turned his head and found several figures sneaking forward,

He moved his body calmly, blocking Cass' sight.Disarming is enough, he has no habit of killing indiscriminately.

Cass didn't care, it lowered its head, as if feeling the movement from the bottom of the sea.

"A storm is coming, now."

It spoke firmly, and fixed its murderous eyes on the whaling ship.

Get close by the storm, and sink it?That's a really good idea.

Cass's thoughts were quite easy to guess, but Shengcun couldn't help but think: It would be better if it was a natural disaster, for example... accidentally hit the rocks and sank the ship during the wind and rain.

After all, he was still unwilling to make up his mind to send his former compatriots to the point of no return.

On the whaling ship, Ethan, who was holding a binoculars, had a livid face, and his thin lips were pursed white.

There's something wrong with the weather.

The clouds were gathering rapidly, and dull thunder was heard faintly from the horizon. The thick leaden gray soon covered half of the sky, and the sun was still struggling to support it, but soon there was only a small corner of the land left.

He felt sticky sweat all over his body, and there seemed to be countless small hands covering his nose in the air, making him so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

If they don't return, they will be trapped in this ghost place full of reefs to meet the storm.

"damn it!"

Ethan cursed fiercely, looking at the sperm whale and his men in the sea next door.

The two whales became so clever that they knew how to stay out of range.

If you leave now, you can definitely find a safe place before the storm comes, but there are still more than 20 people who have not returned...

At the speed of the pile of rubbish, they still have at least 20 minutes, and the storm is estimated to have come by then.

But there are still so many crew members on the ship staring at him, unless he doesn't want to do it in the future, it is impossible for Ethan to leave these people and leave.Abandoning the crew is a big taboo, and the captain who breaks his promise will be cast aside by thousands of people.

In desperation, he could only order the whaling ship to sail to the waters where the sperm whale was located, so as to welcome the crew, and if he was lucky, he might even kill the two guys who were in the way.

"Dare he come over?"

Cass was about to move, stored a collision, and forced it into the water.

"Fire!"

Sure enough, when the distance got closer, Ethan immediately ordered the firing of explosive darts, and dense javelins rained towards the sea area where they were.

Shengcun, who was hiding in the deep water area, heard the crackling explosions above, and he knew it in his heart.

The other side is in a hurry, hold on tight, the chances of winning when the storm comes should not be small.

This time, even the weather was helping him, Sheng Cun didn't wait long.

The jellyfish that originally hid in the deep sea danced around him, glowing faintly, and the sea water was tumbling like boiling. It can be imagined that there should be wind and rain on the sea.

In the midst of the noise, the interference of the whaling ship became a unique marker, marking its position in the sperm whale's sonar system.

Cass let out a low growl, and Sheng Cun knew that the time to charge had come.

"boom!"

The ship shook heavily, and everyone who was already frightened raised their heads.

"Struck on the rocks?"

"No, there is only sea water below..."

The sailor looking over the side of the ship suddenly exclaimed, "No! It seems that something... a sperm whale—a sperm whale is hitting our ship!"

They were blinded by the rain, the whaling ship swayed from side to side, and it took all their energy to avoid the reef. For the first time, these people who had hunted countless whales felt the fear of being dominated by their prey.

"It's okay, it's impossible for this ship to be damaged for a while, just aim at them and fire!"

Gritting his teeth, Ethan put his whaling gun on the ship's side, facing the gray sea.

Waves form dizzying patterns with nothing underneath.

"Bang!"

After another moment, Ethan finally realized that the two whales were hiding under the boat, just in the blind spot!

"Did you see the group of people that fell into the water? Where did they swim?"

Ethan grabbed the sailor who was in charge of the lookout, and no longer cared about his demeanor, he questioned him head-on and face-to-face.

"It was still 500 meters away just now, and it disappeared after a few waves, I'm afraid..."

The sailor looked away, avoiding Ethan's furious gaze.

Then, his pupils dilated suddenly, staring behind Ethan with horrified eyes.

"It's over..."

he murmured.

A low rumbling sound came from behind, like thunder, but tended to be getting closer.Ethan turned his head suddenly and saw a wall of water approaching at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

The dense reefs blocked the way of the tide, and it was forced to rise rapidly. In a blink of an eye, it was nearly 10 meters high. It struggled across the reefs and was photographed with overwhelming momentum.

Like dead leaves in the autumn wind, the whaling ship was swept up into the sky, then fell weightlessly, and was instantly smashed to pieces.

All the dinghies on board had been moved out, and the cramped cabin was crowded with people.

Ethan has a dinghy of his own, and he's alone in it.

However, the situation is gone, and his whaling career was also ruined in this sea area along with the whaling ship.

"Are you all right?"

Karin floated to the surface with several competent generals, ready to come to support.

They looked at the pile of floating wreckage and fell into a momentary daze.

"We didn't sink the boat, it was the waves."

Sheng Cun stared at the mess, and said quietly, "Maybe this is because you will die if you do too many unrighteous actions."

He was wondering why the system still didn't send out a reminder that the task was completed even though this was the case.

So he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance and kept his eyes on the scattered boats.

Not far away, Alexei's physical strength was basically exhausted. He choked on several mouthfuls of the salty sea water, and his vision was blurred.

There were several waves before, and the companions beside him had long since disappeared. If Fisherman hadn't dropped the temporary boat in time and hugged the floating planks instead, they would have fallen into the sea long ago to feed the fish.

But in the twirling just now, he finally couldn't hold back and let go, and the wooden board in his arms disappeared instantly.

"dad……"

Alexei's hands stuck out of the water feebly, and his empty palms were desperately opened, trying to grab something.

Fisherman was just 50 meters away, and his plank was also washed away. He was exhausted at the moment, but he still swam towards Alexei little by little, his gray head bobbing up and down in the waves.

Father and son?

Seeing their figures struggling to approach, Sheng Cun swam slowly over with a thought.

"no no!"

Alexei's wide eyes reflected Shengcun's exaggerated big head.

"I am willing to accept your punishment, but can you please let my child go..."

Knowing that it was impossible for the other party to understand, Fisherman kept repeating.

Sheng Cun raised his tail, they were thrown up by a huge external force, and fell to the edge of a wooden board.

The survival instinct broke out, and they hugged the life-saving plank tightly. Looking back, the huge body of the sperm whale was half hidden in the water, as if watching them.

"Ahhh-"

Alexei raised his head and roared vaguely.Tears mixed with the rain and rolled down the young face.

However, he was pretending to be sentimental, and Sheng Cun was not looking at them, but Ethan in front of him.

The muzzle of the whaling gun was pointed at his forehead, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of Ethan's mouth.

Sheng Cun was very calm, since he decided to save the father and son, he noticed the small boat not far away.

He faintly sensed that the system might want him to get rid of some people, no, the notification that the task was about to be completed had already sounded.

At this distance, before the explosive dart exploded, he was enough to destroy the small boat, and there was nothing wrong with dying together.

He just couldn't understand why someone would still raise a gun under such circumstances.

Is it okay to live in peace?Or is it just to maintain that pathetic pride?

"boom!"

The imagined pain did not appear, the whaling gun was soaked in sea water, and the ammunition was damp.

Ethan violently poured out the gunpowder inside, took out the lighter in his pocket, and tried to ignite the fuse manually.

He's crazy.

"boom!"

Lightning flashed across the sky at the right time, and through the bluish-white light, Shengcun saw Ethan fall into the sea covered in blood.

"Dick! Congratulations on completing the mission, and you are about to open the next world!"

A white light flashed in front of Shengcun's eyes, his soul pulled away from this body and returned to the familiar white space.

He didn't know the continuation of the story——

In the same year, that is, 1859, cheers came from the Pennsylvania area - the world's first oil well began to produce oil. This kind of energy from the ground will completely replace the position of whale oil and become the blood of modern industry.

The thriving whaling industry in the United States has gradually declined since then.

The body he possessed soon left the whale group and wandered alone in the ocean. After nearly a hundred years, it finally sank to the bottom of the sea and turned into a whale fall to nourish countless lives.

It was 1946, when people finally discovered that the ocean was becoming increasingly empty, and the International Whaling Commission was established to try to protect these ancient and mysterious creatures.

"Click, click, click..."

The sounds of the sperm whales still ring out in the sea, mingling with those of other whales.The melodious whale song comes from ancient times. Although it has gradually become lonely over the years, it is still endless.

The author says:

"Dolphin Cove" won the Oscar for Best Documentary Film, and it describes the phenomenon of Japanese fishermen hunting and killing dolphins.In fact, Japan is indeed notorious for its so-called "scientific whaling", which is what I originally wanted to write about.

However, when I checked the information, I found that Europe and the United States also had a history of blood-stained whaling, and this history was permeated in the process of colonial expansion, hidden in the "waist" and "pannier" that can be seen everywhere in famous books. In nouns, become part of civilization.

Environmentalism did originate in the West, but the massacre is also a dark history that cannot be washed away.It can only be said that instead of calling on people to build an artificial forest after destroying the forest, it is better to protect the natural one from the beginning... (some hindsight)

Then "Whale Song" is over here, thank you for your support, see you in the next world!

[Put a pre-received copy]

In the Elemental Continent, strange beasts are rampant. There are 118 citizens in total, all obeying the system's orders.

Jumping on the mecha to fight monsters and mine is their boring and boring daily life.

Na opened his eyes, desperately thinking that he would be greeted by the miserable life of the monster-fighting tool man.However, she soon discovered that this group of newcomers had their own ideas.

Some people focus on farming, some focus on love, and some... just want to make trouble.

The system jumped anxiously: "You are so disobedient! What will you do if you encounter a strange beast?"

Na Xiemei smiled: "Look, our nirvana is - use mechas to synthesize various compounds, let them understand what element suppression is!"

While talking, the sodium and chlorine mechas merged, and salt spewed out from the muzzle, and sprinkled it on the huge slugs one after another...

The system looked at the slug that turned into water, and was stunned: "Is this how to use the fusion skill I gave you?"

Until one day, Na mysteriously proposed:

"Everyone has had enough of fighting monsters, how about we go to the restricted area in the northern border?"

Everyone exclaimed:

"It turns out that you are the real master of death—so when shall we set off?"

The truth of this strange world may be hidden within the restricted area...
