Chapter 153 Hairless Furry
He needs to stay in the sea for five minutes for every ten meters he dives. According to the plan, he needs to test five depths today. Including the time for round trip, Gu Qingye will have to stay in the sea for about an hour.
Fang Xiang was responsible for recording the data, while Lu Youyou kept an eye on the equipment.
Her heart seemed to be dragged down with it, and she was surrounded by cold water. The light gradually dimmed until she could not see her hand in front of her face...
Lu Youyou suddenly shivered.
She didn’t think she had a fear of the deep sea before, but now she knows it’s not that she’s not afraid, but that she has never been so “immersive” as this.
"Comrade Lu, the sonar shows that there is a light spot approaching 500 meters ahead and 40 meters deep."
Lu Youyou came back to his senses: "What are those light spots? How many are there?"
"The initial assessment is that it is a group of killer whales, and there should be more than 12 of them."
Lu Youyou's heart trembled immediately.
Killer whales generally don't attack humans, but it's their nature to be naughty. What if they treat Gu Qingye as a toy and bump into him a few times, or if they accidentally tear off his oxygen tank or knock off his helmet...
"Has the signal been sent?"
"Yes, I have received Comrade Gu's reply."
She glanced at the monitor, which showed that Gu Qingye was staying at 30 meters, and then the numbers began to change, 30, 29, 28...
Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could avoid the group of killer whales.
Can it be avoided?
Can...right...
At this moment, more than a dozen light spots on the screen suddenly accelerated, and their target was exactly in the direction where Gu Qingye was.
“Ding ding ding—”
Whatever you fear will come true, and the sounding alarm makes people panic.
With the speed of the overlord of the ocean, in almost the blink of an eye, Gu Qingye's place became a haystack full of candied haws, with a stick in the middle and skewers all around.
Lu Youyou went to the Ocean Park to check on the orcas' medical condition. In the limited space, it was difficult for them to show their street-walking habits.
It is different now. The light spots of different sizes and depths are gathered together and rotate from time to time. This is enough to prove that there is no killer whale who is not curious, from 80 years old to 8 months old.
To them, turtles, dolphins, and seals are all toys. They can be teased when they are in a good mood, and even more so when they are in a bad mood.
"Comrade Lu, do you want to send another message down there?"
Given Gu Qingye’s current situation, it would be best for him to stay still and wait for the killer whale’s curiosity to fade.
The key is how long these big guys' patience will last. What if they really take a fancy to Gu Qingye...
After all, the diving suit is bulky and heavy, and except for the hard helmet, everything else looks soft, making it look particularly easy to bully.
Underwater, Gu Qingye was not nervous.
Although we don't often encounter such big guys during daily training, it has happened before. Generally speaking, if we don't actively attack, nothing will happen.
It's not impossible to be more patient, but oxygen reserves are limited, and mortals can never compete with fish.
After pressing the signal button to notify the monitoring ship, Gu Qingye began to slowly ascend.
The “toy” actually moves!
The killer whales became even more curious. A little one, a few months old, wagged its tail and moved closer. Not satisfied yet, it nudged Gu Qingye's belly with its mouth.
For a killer whale, this force was undoubtedly very light, but Gu Qingye was still pushed nearly one meter away.
The safety rope on the water also swayed a few times, and Lu Youyou asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
The staff member stared at the screen for several seconds and said uncertainly: "It should be a slight contact. Now they are rising at a constant speed following Comrade Gu."
"all?"
"Um... all of them."
There are no high-definition underwater cameras now, and all you can see on the surveillance screen is an orange light spot surrounded by a group of green light spots, moving in the same direction and at the same speed.
Lu Youyou could understand Gu Qingye’s choice. Once he surfaced to a safe depth, even if there was a problem with his diving suit, he would most likely be able to swim to the surface.
Countless zoologists have confirmed that killer whales are not interested in human flesh. As long as they are out of the high-pressure and oxygen-deficient environment, even if they are "played with" by street urchins on the sea, generally no big problems will occur.
The breathing of everyone on the boat followed the rhythm of the flickering orange light and the countdown of the decreasing numbers.
When it was about 10 meters away, the orange light flickered again, and the green light spot next to it jumped a lot faster.
Soon, several killer whales surfaced, with columns of air bursting out of their blowholes.
Many people have never seen such a spectacular scene in their entire lives.
They were now in the near sea, where large creatures seldom appeared. Although the 507th Institute was affiliated with the PLA, not every staff member had the good fortune to see groups of killer whales.
Lu Youyou grabbed the side of the boat, stared at the water, and silently counted the time it would take to surface.
5, 4, 3, 2… The water surface surged as expected, and a familiar figure surfaced.
Cheers and applause broke out, and everyone couldn't help but be happy about this moment.
Gu Qingye waved over here. Although his movements were clumsy and slow, Lu Youyou's eyes were still red with excitement.
She didn't care whether the other party could hear her or not, she stepped on the railing and shouted, "Don't move, I'll pick you up right away!"
Lu Youyou's eyes were always following the staff's movements, and she didn't even notice that after she started shouting, a large group of big black and white guys turned around.
He entered the water and jumped up, and more than a dozen waves hit the boat.
The ship going out to sea this time was not a large-tonnage warship, so it was impossible for it to withstand the passionate rolling of more than a dozen killer whales.
Lu Youyou lost her grip and screamed "Ah". The big guys stopped one after another. Some stayed where they seemed to be looking at her, and a few circled around the boat.
The smallest of the two was the most excited, and started chanting non-stop.
She had only heard the calls of killer whales in videos, and this was the first time she had seen one up close.
The long-ignored aura of rebirth resurfaced in her mind. Could her affinity buff also work on marine life? !
But after being out at sea for so long, there haven’t been many fish following. It seemed like the killer whale only suddenly got excited after she spoke?
Lu Youyou couldn't believe it. Could she even attract a hairless furry creature? !
This is a big guy with the color of a national treasure. Although it is the overlord at the top of the marine food chain, its appearance is so cute that one cannot help but approach it even if they know there is danger. What's more, there is a 99% chance that they are not dangerous to her at all.
The wonders here undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, but no one thought about Lu Youyou. After the founding of the country, spirits were not allowed to appear, and contemporary druids were out of the question.
"They are so excited, they won't capsize the boat, will they?"
"Is he hungry or something? We have nothing to feed him."
"I once encountered a whale when I was out at sea, but it didn't even come close to me. Do this whole family really like humans?"
After getting on the boat, Gu Qingye took more than ten minutes to take off his equipment, and walked towards Lu Youyou amid the discussions of the crowd.
