Chapter 86
Whale roars... blue whales.
That S-class super-dangerous mutant actually appeared!
The militants realized this and immediately tried to run back, but it was too late for them to retreat.
The shell was blown away by the invisible sound waves and hit the side of the armored vehicle. With a bang, a wave of fire rose up and several militants were caught in it, screaming miserably!
The little panda was stunned: "Wow."
Isn't this what people often say, lifting a rock and dropping it on their own feet?
A large, vague shadow emerged on the surging sea, huge and deep.
As if affected by an unknown force, the weather was sunny and calm one second, but became overcast and gloomy the next.
There was a slight chilly breeze in the air, the salty smell of the sea water was spreading, and the surging sea water was washing onto the shore, wave after wave.
Wen Xin suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, as if his body was under a tremendous force.
The Scaled Viper touched him just in time to free him from the restraints, and said worriedly, "The tsunami is about to hit. We have to leave here."
Wen Xin frowned, "Something is wrong."
The bombardment had stopped long ago, and the few shells that had not been fired in time all exploded back near the armored vehicles, setting off a horrible sea of fire.
The four strong men who were holding the old man down were knocked over by the wind and waves, and they spat out blood. The old man staggered to his feet and found an opportunity, swinging his machete and chopping their heads into pieces.
The fishermen found a breakthrough and fled towards the sea. To them, the dangerous sea was their lifeboat.
The bandits were shouting in the salty wind and running away in panic.
It looked like a one-sided crush.
Wen Xin's heart can't let go.
If these people had not made adequate preparations in advance, how could they dare to provoke the S-level blue whale?
He took a quick breath, looked further ahead, and searched quickly.
Wen Xin's pupils suddenly shrank.
On that seemingly boundless sea, several fishing boats were quietly approaching the giant in the middle, following the surging waves.
These ships did not carry any containers, nor did they look like passenger ships. They had slings, steam engines, and a barrel-like cannonball launcher loaded with a long, thick harpoon.
Wen Xin murmured: "Whaling ship..."
Scales Viper also saw the whale ships and said grimly, "Ordinary weapons can't break the mutants' tough skin."
However, this does not include those developed by the First Base.
They found a special substance from somewhere and synthesized it into weapons and potions that greatly restrained the mutants' hard bodies and could make them so weak in a short period of time that they were no better than an ordinary animal.
At this time, Wen Xin saw another team. The medium-sized armored vehicles formed a long winding line and drove silently towards the higher coast on the other side.
If they were not in a higher position, they might not have been able to detect the whereabouts of this group of people.
In contrast to the ones on the sea cliff, the armored vehicles parked in front of the village did not move at all from beginning to end and were hit without any ability to fight back.
So that’s how it is, this group of people…!
Wen Xin stood up quickly and walked quickly towards the car holding the two dumplings.
Seeing that the young man was in an unstable mood, the Scaled Tree Viper asked directly, "What's wrong, Wen Xin?"
The little panda was unable to react and struggled a few times, but he knew the seriousness of the matter and remained silent.
"Those people below are bait. In order to lure the blue whales out, they are willing to use their own lives as smoke bombs. The real killer moves are the whaling boats and the people on the cliffs."
Wen Xin placed them on the passenger seat.
Scale Viper: "So you're going to stop them now?"
These words made the young man's hand freeze on the spot as he was about to light a fire.
Wen Xin turned around and looked at the two unconscious children in the back seat and sighed slightly.
He looked at the rows of armored vehicles advancing not far away, and seeing the power of the gunfire, he knew very well that an ordinary person like him would be beaten to pieces if he barged in.
"No, I didn't plan to do that." Wen Xin said softly, "But I promised these two children before that I would send them back to their relatives."
The car started, drove down the slope, and rushed towards the fishermen fleeing to the coast.
The sky has completely changed. The dark clouds are so heavy that they seem to fall at any time. The cool sea breeze embraces the sea water and falls all over the sky like rain.
The closer we get to the coast, the clearer we can hear the ethereal and high-pitched roar of whales.
The owner of the voice was filled with rage, so the cry was like layers of overlapping waves, as if to swallow people up.
Wen Xin quickly caught up with the fleeing fishermen.
The militants had achieved their goal by luring the blue whale out. The gangsters shouted in surprise, and no one had the time to pay attention to the fishermen.
The fishermen were still in shock and filled with resentment about their homes having just been destroyed. When they saw the white car approaching, their first reaction was to raise their harpoons.
Wen Xin got out of the car and faced several harpoons with cold flashes on their tips.
He raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, but he also knew that most people caught up in hatred would not be able to listen rationally.
Wen Xin quickly opened the back door of the car and took out the two siblings who were still unconscious in his arms.
Seeing the two children, the murderous intent on the fishermen's faces finally showed a slight change.
Among them was an old man, surrounded by other fishermen.
After years of exposure to wind and rain, the old man's skin has become dark and yellow, his face is full of wrinkles like gullies, and his palms are covered with hard cords accumulated after hard work.
There was also blood that had not yet dried after the militants were hacked to death.
His eyes were fixed on the two siblings. He walked over step by step and took the two children in his arms.
Looking at the sleeping child, at that moment, the old man's numb and hateful face seemed to be refilled with a fresh breath.
"Who are you?"
The old man raised his head and looked at Wen Xin. His voice was hoarse and mocking, which was a sequela of his throat being injured after shouting loudly for a long time.
Wen Xin said without further ado: "This is not the place to talk. Now, old people and children, get in my car..."
Before he finished speaking the last word, a shell suddenly landed in the sea water near the shore, and the huge wave it created was like a white mountain, rushing over unstoppably!
The young man reflexively extended his arms, intending to protect the old man in front of him.
But the old man suddenly gained strength from nowhere and grabbed his wrist even faster.
By the time he reacted, Wen Xin had already been dragged to the shore by the impatient old man and faced the terrifying waves.
"Warm and sweet!"
In less than half a second, the world completely changed.
Wen Xin's mouth and nose were submerged in the salty sea water. The rumbling sounds of the explosions seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and became farther and farther away.
The sky was dark, but beneath the deep sea there was a sparkle. Looking down from above, one could see wisps of silvery-white light swaying in the tide, like swaying lanterns.
The old man still held Wen Xin tightly to prevent him from being swept away by the sea, and his strength was far beyond that of a normal person.
Wen Xin finally remembered it out of the blue.
Although the opponent was just an elderly man, it took four fat and strong armed men to work together to subdue him.
But he reacted too slowly.
Wen Xin was a landlubber and had no strength at all in the sea water. To the powerful old man, the strength of his struggle was completely negligible.
The fishermen swam forward mindfully.
Their ordinary human bodies seemed to transform into nimble fish after entering the sea, accurately avoiding the dense artillery fire from above.
Even the two children who had not yet woken up were twisting their legs subconsciously.
Not far away, there was a giant ship with half of its hull buried in the sand, and its half-broken sails flying high up, like the broken remains of a giant dragon.
The magical thing is that the entire ship is wrapped in a transparent bubble, and the objects inside will not float naturally with the sea water.
It stopped there, like an alien space where time was suspended.
That is the fishermen's destination.
A fisherman had already boarded the ship. He stood on the deck as if he were walking on flat ground. He did not care about squeezing the sea water off his clothes. He stretched out his hand outside the transparent bubble to greet his companions.
The old man was holding two children in one hand and Wen Xin in the other, so he went slower.
But as he swam, he found something wrong.
Looking back, the young man covered his mouth with one hand, but fine bubbles kept flowing out from between his fingers.
This is drowning!
The old man was horrified and hurried to speed up.
It was at this moment that a huge snake shadow appeared in the deep sea.
The gradient green scales reflected a magnificent and deep color. The snake, with its overwhelming power, pushed Wen Xin and the old man, who had no time to hold his breath, into the bubble surrounding the giant ship.
The old man fell into the boat and was caught by the fishermen, and the two children in his arms also fell into the arms of others.
Wen Xin was bumped by the thick snake's tail but didn't feel any pain.
He was suddenly able to breathe again. He looked up to the sky, took a long, deep breath, turned over and spit out a large mouthful of sea water. The water foam pressed against his throat and he coughed non-stop for a while.
Wen Xin's mind was unusually confused, and he had lost his former sharpness and energy.
He thought that it would be best not to have such an experience again, it was simply fatal.
After pressing his temples and recovering from the exertion, the hard, cool touch of the snake's scales finally came clearly into his warm palms.
Wen Xin couldn't hide his doubts, he looked down carefully and saw that it was green snake scales.
Green... Green?!
Wen Xin's heart went blank for a moment, then began beating violently.
可他只是剛一擡頭，還沒和蛇腦袋正對上面，嗖的一下，長長的蛇尾巴以雷霆般的速度被抽了回去。
深邃龐大的蛇影頃刻間消失得無蹤無影，不知道蹿到了什麽地方，躲起來不敢見人。
溫辛：“……”可惡。
阿綠好不容易和他坦誠相見一次，他居然沒有反應過來。
回頭一看，剛瞧見巨大蛇身的漁民們紛紛瞪大了眼珠子，瞠目結舌，那駭人的一幕，像是深深地映在了瞳孔裏。
好像誰都看到了阿綠的真身，就他沒看到。
溫辛嘆了口氣。
.
海面上的炮火聲沒有停歇。
漁民們臉色陰郁地坐在甲板上，丈夫安慰着倉惶的妻子，母親拍哄着受驚的孩子。
更多的人孤零零地坐在那兒，拳頭緊握，骨骼咯吱咯吱地響，攥着魚叉的手指尖，因為用力而泛白。
一聲鯨叫傳來，與之前蘊含着怒火的聲音不同，充斥了難耐的痛苦。
所有漁民都在此刻站起了身，臉色慘白。
洶湧的海浪将一切都攪得天翻地覆。
在這混亂的視野裏，他們依稀看見，那頭大到可以睥睨天地的陰影被幾根粗長的繩索牽制住，停止了翻湧，發出憤怒難耐的哀鳴。
深海中有許多魚群，響應着藍鯨的召喚，潮湧而去。
但又像是遇到了自己無法理解的難題，焦急地守在四方，圍着鯨魚不停打轉。
漁民們驚怒交加。
“發生了什麽？”
“那些人對海神做了什麽？”
突然，他們聽到身後的青年說道：“是捕鯨船。”
捕鯨船是什麽，靠海生存的居民都清楚。
漁民們一時間沒能想起來，是因為捕鯨船的存在，對被藍鯨統轄的南海來說是一種禁忌。
老人咬牙切齒：“這裏不可能出現捕鯨船！”
溫辛搖頭說：“變異體進化的時候，對周圍的感知力會下降，他們可能就是趁着這段時間，将捕鯨船從其他海域開了過來。”
話音剛落，溫辛就看到這些漁民倏然扭頭，怪異地看着他。
在漁民看來，青年的出現和存在，有一種說不出的突兀。
危難将他們倉促地聚集在了一起，但也消磨不了溫辛是外人的事實。
他們不相信外人，事實也證明了，外來的人不可信，每每出現，帶來的一定是災難和陰謀。
可溫辛解救了村長家的孫子孫女。
在村長的獨子死去之後，這兩個孩子，就成了唯二的血脈。
恩情與懷疑交雜，致使漁民們對溫辛的情感頗為複雜。
可是此時此刻，他們已經顧不上去管那麽多。
“如果是捕鯨船，我們得上去！”
有漁民聽到了蒸汽機轟隆隆的嗡鳴，是捕鯨船收獲了“獵物”，在加大馬力。
鯨魚凄厲的叫聲愈發使他們肝膽俱裂。
“不能等了。”
老人沒有猶豫：“女人和小孩留下，其他人跟我走！”
漁民們拿着魚叉，穿過透明的氣泡，重新回歸了大海。
溫辛注意他們游泳的姿勢，入水的那一刻，每個人的泳姿都各不相同。
卻好像被同一種力量驅使着，逐漸變得流暢和靈動。
在那雙腿律動的不經意間，皮膚上似有若無地浮起魚鱗一般的紋路。
經過這麽一番颠簸，兩兄妹終于醒了。
醒過來的時候，他們剛巧聽到大人們齊齊出發的動靜。
男孩準确地在留守的漁民中找到了溫辛，焦急地撲過去喊他：“大哥哥，你很強，能不能幫幫我們？”
溫辛的心躁動了一瞬，不停摩挲着腰側的槍身。
槍進了水，不知道還能不能正常開火。
溫辛閉了閉眼，找回了理智，嘆氣說：“抱歉，我不會水……”
“沒關系！”
男孩一聽這話，突然轉身，沖進了甲板後方虛掩的艙門。
溫辛陡然意識到了什麽，跟着站起身來。
他走到艙門邊上，低頭往下看，像是被驚住了一半，頓在原地。
觸目所及，是好幾個體型異常的大扇貝，栖息在船艙的邊邊角角，一些張開，一些合攏。
張開的那幾只，露出柔軟的貝殼肉，肉上托着幾顆圓潤飽滿的珍珠，隐約散發着如大海一般幽暗的藍光。
男孩從貝殼中取珍珠的時候，差點被夾斷了手臂。
不過那些貝殼好像有什麽特殊的識別能力，在最後關頭将将停住。
“只要吃了這個，就會游泳了！”男孩沖了回來。
溫辛捏着那一顆珍珠，仔細打量着 ，沒動。
他回想起在漁民腿上看到的紋路，晶瑩似魚鱗，詭異而迤逦。
男孩有些着急，伸手去拿：“你是不是覺得有毒，我可以吃給你看。”
溫辛按住他的腦袋，搓亂了那濕漉漉的頭發，将藍珍珠一口吞入嘴中。
圓潤的珠子入口即化，化為一股溫熱的水流，蔓延至四肢百骸。
.
漁民們不熟悉捕鯨船。
他們好不容易解決掉一艘船上的人，卻不知道那些裝置該如何停止。
一旦亂動，反而會促使插入鯨魚血肉的魚叉越陷越深。
漁民們急得腦門生汗，揮動手裏的魚叉，不斷砍磨束縛着藍鯨的鋼索。
也是這個時候，船下傳來一聲喊。
“麻煩誰把繩子抛下來，拉我一把！我或許有辦法處理那個機器！”
聽到動靜的漁民們，大汗淋漓地往下看。
看清楚溫辛模樣的那一剎那，他們驚呆了。
“是那個外人！”
“他怎麽來了，他不是不會水嗎？”
老人覺得不對勁兒，不經意間瞄見了什麽，瞬間瞳孔定住，聲音暴怒：“誰把藍珍珠給他吃了？！”
藍珍珠？
聽到溫辛說有辦法處理機器，已經有漁民按耐不住地丢下了繩子。
他将溫辛拉上來，看到對方左側臉頰上魚鱗一般的紋路，腦子一陣空白。
青年的姿容無疑屬于上乘，放在人群中，一眼就能讓人念念不忘。白皙的皮膚上隐現着這些魚鱗，非但不叫人覺得怪異，反而有種瑰麗動人的美感。
宛如傳說中的美人魚，秉持着優美的身姿，悄然浮出了海面。
溫辛頭有點暈，身體搖搖晃晃，看見老人急切地走了過來。
“誰給你吃了藍珍珠？是不是小武那孩子？”老人壓抑着怒火，“你沒有接受過神的賜福，貿然吃下去對身體是極大的負擔，那個傻孩子啊！他在做什麽！”
溫辛擺了擺手。
他拿過其中一位漁民手裏的魚叉，來到捕鯨魚叉的彈射裝置前，一下子快準狠，撬開了裝置的保險栓。
鋼索松動了，唰一下，随着藍鯨的掙紮飛上天空。
漁民們還未來得及驚喜歡呼，就看到又一枚炮彈在藍鯨的頭頂轟然爆開，撒下一大團灰白色的粉末。
而粘上粉末的藍鯨，眼中也逐漸浮現出了一抹猩紅的血色。
風浪暫停了一瞬，就像暴風雨前的寧靜。
兩秒過後，平靜的海面，以毀天滅地般的氣勢，瘋狂猛烈地翻湧起來！
海崖上的頭領眯了眯眼睛，露出一抹勢在必得的精光。
魚叉是特制的，就算被掙脫了也無所謂，失血的藍鯨會越來越虛弱，失控更會消滅它的意志和力氣，到最後任由他們宰割。
至于這之間可能會被海嘯波及的居民？
那些人死了就死了，和他們有什麽關系？
耗費了海量的人力物資，還有這些裝甲車和武器，海嘯一來，通通都收不回來。
投入了這麽多的資源，他們必須得到藍鯨，不容有失！
頭領回頭說道：“繼續投放精神誘導劑，其他人跟我上直升飛機，準備撤離。”
可就在這個時候，探測員慌張叫喊道：“怎，怎麽可能？”
“這片海域還有第二頭S級變異體？不，不，不……不是兩頭，是三頭！”
頭領心髒一咯噔，目眦欲裂地轉頭，臉上陰沉得可怕：“你說什麽？！”
.
溫辛他們的情況很不好。
藍鯨發了狂，攪得海水倒灌，他們所在的捕鯨船就像是風浪中的落葉，随着海水颠簸不已。
一個巨浪打開，捕鯨船幾乎側翻。
溫辛艱難地抓住船杆，鹹腥的海水砸在他滾燙的皮膚上，激起一陣冰涼刺骨的鈍痛。
終于，船翻了。
他再一次掉入翻湧的大海。
吃了藍珍珠之後，溫辛好像就适應了海水，如同在陸地上那樣，能夠自由呼吸。
但他的血液沒有一刻不在沸騰，鼓噪的脹痛充斥着每一寸經脈。
……或許這就是老人說的，沒有接受過神賜福的代價。
很多時候，溫辛都覺得自己再理智一點，但他好像就是做不到全然的理性。
小狐貍明明囑咐過他，不要随便吃外面的東西，要是知道了這件事，不知會有多生氣。
溫辛東想西想。
他在幽暗的海水中，看到了一條狹長的蛇影，笨拙且賣力地朝他游動。
這回兒逮住你了吧，阿綠。
溫辛笑着伸出手，準備去擁抱那巨大而漂亮的蝰蛇。
大海吞沒了許多聲音。
他完全沒有注意到，有一小團陰影，隐秘地靠近了他的後背。
兩只如藕節般白嫩的小手從後伸出，攬住了溫辛的肩膀，将他一下子拽出了海面。
Wen Xin didn't see his snake again.
The presence approaching him was extremely powerful, and it concealed its presence so well that Wen Xin was completely unaware when he was taken aboard another whaling boat.
He coughed up a mouthful of water, raised his head in surprise, and saw a...baby?
The baby has blue hair, fair and tender skin, and a pair of crystal clear eyes that focus intently on the young man in front of him.
Like a delicate and silent doll.
Wen Xin asked with difficulty: "You are..."
Before he could finish his words, the baby suddenly hugged his face affectionately and gave him a big kiss!
“Coo-coo.”
Wen Xin never imagined that there would come a day when she would be forcibly kissed by her baby.
But soon after, he found that the heat in his body was relieved and the pain inexplicably subsided.
The baby smiled and snuggled up to him silently.
The next second, his eyes suddenly became sad and cold, and his small body sitting on the railing leaned back and fell straight into the sea.
"Don't!" Wen Xin's heart shuddered, and he subconsciously tried to catch the strange child.
Of course he didn't catch it.
The mad blue whale calmed down at some point, and the turbulent sea surface was also soothed.
Until the wind began to roar wildly.
In several places, the sea surface suddenly rolled up into whirlpools, and the sea water rose up from the ground like a tornado and rushed straight into the sky.
A little blue walrus appeared on the blue whale's body at some point. It lowered its head and licked the horrific wounds.
The places where the skin was cracked and the flesh was rolled up quickly healed.
Then, the little blue walrus raised its head and looked coldly at the helicopter in the sky.
Everything that happened next appeared before Wen Xin's eyes like a fantasy movie.
