Chapter 86 Killer Whale (XI)
Yu Yiyun thought about it carefully and found that everything had a traceable path.
Compared to the previous worlds, the task the system assigned to him this time was only to 'learn basic survival skills', but the treatment he received was surprisingly good.
I thought World Voice had finally found its conscience, but it turned out there were hints all along.
If Yu Yiyun couldn't communicate with the killer whale after being thrown into the ocean...
Well, no killer whale group would rashly accept an "outsider".
He should have thought that most artificially bred killer whales were of impure bloodline.
The famous killer whale Tilikum belongs to the North Atlantic Type 1 killer whale.
He was imprisoned in a cramped, enclosed swimming pool and had his reproductive cells artificially harvested at least 21 times, which were then sold around the world.
Most of the female killer whales that "combined" with him remotely were not North Atlantic Type 1 killer whales.
For a long time, humans were very keen on breeding killer whales, and used "purely artificially bred killer whale calves" as a gimmick to attract tourists.
Some of the sad killer whale genes have been passed down to the second and third generations in the hands of humans...
Yu Yiyun finally realized that she might be a North Atlantic Type 2 killer whale, but not completely.
Obviously, his body shape is too different from the killer whales here.
Even when they grow up, it is impossible for them to reach the average level.
“…”
Yu Yiyun fell into a long silence.
Unlike the 'hybrids' of human society, hybrid killer whales are closer to 'ligers' or 'mules'.
If they were released into the wild, they would not be accepted by either parent.
Yu Yiyun today is such an outlier.
The ocean covers 2/3 of the Earth's total area and has a life history of more than 3.5 billion years.
Even so, there are no one like us in the vast ocean.
"Squeak." Little guy.
After noticing that the foreign calves had fallen into a long silence and looked like they were about to break, the Atlantic Type 2 killer whale group took the initiative to speak.
"Come on, let us help you find a whale?
"Hmm..." Yu Yijun spoke hesitantly, wanting to tell them that she might not have a whale home.
Before he could finish his words, the action-oriented killer whale had already swam a long way, making "click" and "click" sounds along the way to locate the other whales.
The North Atlantic Type 2 killer whales are therhacophorans, which is consistent with the habits of most therhacophorans, and the internal connections are not particularly close.
But they generally live in the same sea area and are very close to each other.
Atlantic Type 2 whales mainly feed on other whales. Occasionally, when they encounter large and difficult prey, they will activate the "Shaking Whale" skill to call their companions for help, and the groups maintain contact.
Upon hearing the whales' calls, the nearby killer whales spread the word, and soon gathered together to form a large group of killer whales.
The killer whale swim talk officially begins!
Yu Yiyun had been in the ocean for more than half a year, and this was the first time she saw so many killer whales!
"Hmm~"
Who said I don't have a companion?
I have too many companions!
The killer whale that issued the call swam to the middle of the whale group, muttering about Fat Tiger's experience and asking if there were any killer whales like him who would claim this poor and cute little guy.
The killer whales looked at each other in bewilderment at first, then circled around Yu Yiyun to observe her carefully.
Most of the killer whales gave a negative answer, saying that they did not know the little guy and had never lost a child at home.
"Hmm..."
Fat Tiger called out softly, his tone sounding a little frustrated.
Although I had expected this result, I couldn't help feeling disappointed when I saw the whales disperse in front of me.
There are so many whales, but not one of them is his own relative.
Although the passing whales could not understand what the North Atlantic Type 2 whales said, they saw the little guy with his tail drooping and swam towards him in unison.
"Eeh." Little guy, we will help you find a new home.
"Chirp!" Yes, let's go to Antarctica!
"Hmm!" There are many killer whale families in Antarctica, and there must be some of your kind.
"Woo." Yeah.
The prodigal son made a meaningless sound and was immediately dissed by his companions, who accused him of being cold and heartless and not comforting the little guy.
"......Woo." The prodigal son looked so innocent and tried to explain that he wanted to comfort someone but he had already finished his words.
"Oh~"
Yu Yiyun heard their quarrel and made a happy sound, and the gloom just now disappeared.
Indeed, maybe he has no one like him in the ocean, but he now has many 'home whales'.
Even if I am the only alien in the entire ocean, at least there is a group willing to accept me, which is enough...
"Hmm."
Suddenly, a big killer whale swam in front of Yu Yiyun and asked in a low voice if he could make more noise.
"Hmm?" Yu Yiyun blinked her eyes and asked in confusion: Of course, what kind of sound do you want me to make?
"Ugh." Crying.
"...Hmm?"
This really stumped Fat Tiger.
Although he felt a little disappointed, it was far from the point of crying.
Since the other party asked for it, Fat Tiger thought about all the saddest things in his four lives in his mind and cut himself into pieces.
“Oh…”
The little guy sobbed and made the whimpering sound of a baby whale.
The killer whale on the other side became excited after hearing this, and started dancing its fins and tail excitedly.
"Hmm!" Really! Really!
"Mmmmm!" Sounds like my sister's voice!
"Hmm?" Your sister?
In a trance, Yu Yiyun suddenly had an idea and realized something.
Killer whales have the longest gestation period of any mammal, more than 600 days.
Baby whale's enlightenment education begins as early as the fetal stage.
As soon as they are born, they will remember their mother's voice and will never forget it.
Hill is a captive-bred killer whale, and before being released into the ocean, the only killer whales he had contact with were mothers.
She stayed with her mother until she was about two years old, and was forcibly taken away just as she was weaned.
Since then, Hill has had no opportunity to learn any language.
Therefore, the only sound he could master was...
Mother's voice.
“Hmm!”
The older male whale, who was about thirty years old, splashed in the waves and observed the little guy carefully.
"Mmm!" Little guy, come home with me.
“Mmmm!” Although I can’t confirm it, my mother will definitely be able to recognize whether you are my sister’s child.
"Hmm?" Really?
Yu Yiyun, who was just about to comfort herself by saying "It doesn't matter if there are no other like us", rekindled her hope and followed the tail of the killer whale, looking for the killer whale that looked like her grandmother.
When the silly blackfin gang heard that the little guy might find his real whale, they excitedly chased after him.
As it swam, it kept jumping into the waves, splashing out rainbows in celebration, and looked more excited than the fat tiger whale.
I wish the whole ocean would know: the little guy has found a home!
Yu Yiyun followed the killer whale and swam for a very long time, so long that five tides passed, but he still did not reach his destination.
“…嘤.” Traveling day and night was really exhausting. Fat Tiger was tired from swimming and asked pitifully why they hadn’t arrived yet.
Obviously, other Atlantic Type 2 killer whales gather in the same sea area, so why does the prospective grandmother live so far away?
The leading killer whale slowed down and encouraged Fat Tiger to "try harder, we'll be there soon."
The big killer whale told Fat Tiger that he had actually been away from home for a long time and did not usually live with his mother and sisters.
About twenty years ago, after her sister, who was only four years old at the time, was taken away by a whaling ship, her mother has been looking for her in the ocean ever since.
To this end, she often left the habitat of the Atlantic Type 2 killer whales and searched more than once in the Pacific Ocean and the polar regions.
"Hmm!" I didn't lie to you, she is near this sea area now.
“Mmmmm!” It’s really almost there!
“……”I actually feel tired, I am guilty!
Yu Yiyun, who had just been complaining about being tired, stopped complaining and continued swimming forward with all her might.
Up to now, he was skeptical about this recognition.
The killer whale only said that his voice was "like" his sister's, but he did not confirm it completely.
Even if he is really the killer whale's nephew, after all, they are separated by generations, and his genes are not pure. Will his original family be willing to acknowledge him?
Now, Yu Yiyun has changed his mind!
If the killer whale’s mother is really his grandmother.
Even if Fat Tiger has to pester him, he has to acknowledge this relative!
Grandma!
The baby is coming~!
After swimming for a long time, Yu Yiyun felt the water temperature gradually getting warmer, which had exceeded the comfort zone of the Atlantic Type 2 killer whales.
The killer whale makes long, low-frequency sounds, calling everywhere, looking for its mother.
The passing whales could not understand his voice, but they knew he was looking for killer whales, so they also dispersed and used sonar systems to detect him.
About half an hour later, there was a response from the waters farther away, and three female killer whales swam towards them.
The three female killer whales were of different ages. The oldest female was at least 50 years old, and the slightly older female next to her was about 40 years old.
The youngest is only 10 years old and appears to be the baby of the killer whale in the middle.
"Buzz." The older killer whale responded from a distance.
Unlike their distant relative, the South China tiger, killer whale cubs do not become strangers to their parents after leaving home and becoming independent.
Especially killer whales living in the same sea area will often visit their relatives.
When the older killer whale heard the call from his eldest son, he immediately swam over to greet him and asked what was the matter.
The big killer whale, who is over 30 years old and still a mama's boy, came over to cuddle with his mother and told her that he met a little killer whale whose voice sounded very much like his sister.
"Buzz?" Really?
The two older female killer whales, theoretically the grandmother and aunt, looked at the little fat tiger in unison.
Judging from its age, the little killer whale should be his cousin's, and its eyes were wide open.
As they stared at her, Yu Yiyun was so nervous that she could hardly make a sound.
He vaguely remembered that the killer whale confirmed that she was "like a sister" through crying.
Maybe grandma and aunt also need to hear the crying to distinguish.
However, the joy of recognizing his relatives made Fat Tiger so excited and thrilled that he couldn't cry at all.
“…嘤.” Hello, everyone.
After holding it in for a long time, Fat Tiger could only squeeze out a greeting, which sounded dry.
He wanted to say something more and asked the killer whale to confirm his voice.
The two big killer whales had come to the conclusion and immediately rushed over, dancing happily in circles around Fat Tiger.
"Buzz!" Yes, that's the sound of my baby!
"Squeak!" It's exactly the same as my sister's voice, there's no mistake!
When the passing whale saw this scene, he realized that the little guy had found his home. He was happy for him but also felt a little disappointed.
"Eeh." Mama's boy whale is going home.
"Chirp?" Will he go on adventures with us again?
"Hmm." No way.
"Woo." The prodigal son was inexplicably determined: Yes, we will go to Antarctica together to catch seals.
The two killer whales were immersed in joy and celebrated for a long time before they remembered that they should exchange information.
"Buzz Buzz." You called me, little guy. What a cute name. Did your mother give it to you?
"Squeak?" Where is your mother?
When she heard them mention her mother, Yu Yiyun's joy level instantly dropped by 99.99%.
At that moment, Fat Tiger didn't know how to tell his grandma and aunt who were full of expectations: Mom didn't come back.
I have been separated from my mother for a long time. I don’t know where my mother is, whether she is doing well now, and whether I can return to my home again...
In the end, it was my uncle, who had just heard the story, who came forward.
"Mmm." My sister is still with the human.
“…”
There was a noticeable silence for a few seconds.
After a long while, grandma spoke again.
"Buzz." My baby is still alive, great.
“Oh…”
Yu Yiyun swam over and lay in her grandmother's arms.
She couldn't cry just now, but now she keeps crying. I told her against my will that her mother is being taken care of by humans, and there are many humans willing to help her, so you don't have to worry too much...
Yu Yiyun knew that even if marine conservation organizations tried very hard, the chances of the killer whales, which had been in captivity for twenty years, returning to the sea without external help were very slim.
Humans do not understand the language of killer whales, and probably will never know:
In the depths of the ocean, countless killer whales are waiting hopelessly for their home whales that will never return.
Grandma responded with a low sound, indicating "I know".
Then, as if he had realized something, he did not mention his daughter again, nor did he ask about his grandson's appearance or why he was different from other killer whales of the same species.
She rubbed the little fat tiger affectionately and introduced the family members to him.
When we introduced the little female whale who was about to reach adulthood, she greeted him and finally couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why does my brother look different from me?"
My cousin's question seemed to break something.
My aunt, who had been standing nearby, couldn't help but be curious.
Little Fat Tiger looks very different from them.
My aunt once accompanied my grandmother to search the ocean, but they had never seen a killer whale like him.
“Hmm.”
Yu Yiyun did not avoid the topic and told them seriously: She was not a North Atlantic Type 2 killer whale and did not belong to any killer whale ecotype in the ocean.
So strictly speaking, I and my grandma and the others cannot be considered the same kind.
Before Yu Yijun finished explaining, the voices of the stupid black fin gang came from afar.
"Eehoo!" Little guy, we caught the dolphin!
"Ying!" Little guy, here's your liver!
“……嘤!” You guys eat it by yourselves!
Yu Yiyun was rarely in the mood to feast, so she gave her favorite liver to the foodie.
Grandma noticed something was wrong and asked kindly: Did they invite you to dine with them?
"嘤.嘤嘤!" Yes, grandma, can you understand?
"Buzz." No, but I know you can talk to them.
Fat Tiger raised his head proudly and told his grandmother that he could not only talk to passing whales, but also to resident whales.
That's why, before coming here, the North Atlantic Type 1 whales told themselves, 'You might be the kid next door.'
Otherwise, Fat Tiger wouldn’t know where to find his relatives.
Grandma listened to him mumbling a lot of nonsense and didn't feel impatient at all.
After Fat Tiger finished speaking, she praised Baby for being so amazing, saying that Baby was the smartest killer whale in the ocean.
Yu Yiyun shrank his tail in embarrassment and asked nervously:
"Hmm?" Will you accept me? I am not the whale here...
"Buzz?" Why not accept it? You are our child.
Grandma gave an answer immediately.
My uncle also swam over and called out happily.
"Hmm~"Yes, yes, you are my nephew~
Generally speaking, killer whales of different ecotypes rarely interact with each other.
But in order to find their lost children, grandma and aunt once searched every corner of the ocean and saw whales in every place.
They encountered different landscapes, came into contact with different groups, and their minds became more open.
In grandma's opinion, the little guy is not "not a North Atlantic Type 2 whale".
To be precise: the little guy belongs to them and also to some other families. He is their common child.
"Bing!"
Yu Yiyun suddenly understood!
Who would have thought that my thinking was not as open as that of a killer whale!
As expected of a wise man under the sea, I understand!
Little Fat Tiger immediately put aside all his worries and acted like a spoiled child in his grandma's arms.
After being sticky for a while, my stomach started to growl.
In order to find his grandma, Fat Tiger hasn't eaten much these two days.
If I had known earlier, I should have accepted my companions' invitation and had a couple of bites first.
Yu Yiyun looked at the stupid blackfin gang. The group of gluttons had already divided the prey skillfully, then ate up all the parts they liked in no time and sank the remaining remains into the deep sea.
"Hmm..." The hungry Fat Tiger shamelessly acted like a spoiled child to his brother.
“Oh!”
I’m hungry. I want to eat.
"Eh?" Who told you not to eat?
The silly blackfin party had just eaten and was too lazy to move for the time being.
However, my aunt and uncle understood Fat Tiger's killer whale language and took immediate action, asking the baby whether he wanted to eat humpback whale or sperm whale.
Yu Yiyun: “…”
Do I really want to order this dish?
Grandma finally spoke up, saying that the child had just returned home and should be treated to the best food!
"Buzz!" Let's catch a blue whale!
"Boo!" Wait, wait!
Yu Yiyun quickly held them down, fearing that Jia Jing might get impulsive and really set out to steal the blue whale calf.
The blue whale is a gentle giant in the ocean that feeds mainly on krill and is almost non-aggressive.
But as the largest animal on earth both on land and in water, its newborn cubs weigh 2.5 to 7 tons.
No matter how much Yu Yiyun could eat, her appetite wasn't that big.
Yu Yiyun held down her grandmother who was preparing to form a group to catch a blue whale, and shyly said that she would just eat something casually.
Grandma rubbed the cute baby and said with satisfaction that her child was easy to raise.
Then, as the next best thing, he caught a pilot whale with his fin and fed it to the calf.
Fat Tiger had just taken two bites when the sonar system started to sound the alarm and a large number of pilot whales came to settle the score.
“Squeak!”
“Buzz!”
The North Atlantic Type 2 killer whales are chased by sperm whales and pilot whales every day. They have rich experience in escaping and can quickly shake off the pilot whales that are chasing them.
This time, the stupid blackfin party who were just watching the fun had a hard time.
Pilot whales and sperm whales have similar ideas, believing that "all killer whales in the ocean are one family" and will chase whichever group they catch.
Moreover, pilot whales are also high-speed whales that can gather in large groups. Even if they cannot cause a fatal attack on killer whales, they are enough to drive killer whale groups far away.
The unfortunate passenger whale was chased fiercely by the pilot whales and shouted to them, "We have never hurt any pilot whales."
However, due to the language barrier, the pilot whale simply didn't listen.
Even from a distance, Yu Yiyun could still hear his companions' defense breaking, and he laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
My aunt felt a little guilty and asked if she needed help for the little guy's companions.
"Hmm." No need!
"Boo-boo-boo!" They are so awesome~
Fat Tiger opened up and muttered to his grandma and aunt, from the sand sculpture blackfin gang catching dolphins for him to eat, to going to Antarctica to catch seals, to encountering a North Atlantic Type 1 killer whale...
They traveled all over the northern hemisphere, and the brothers protected the little one very well.
Grandma listened to Fat Tiger's story quietly for a long time without saying a word.
My cousin seemed a little tired. She leaned against my mother and urged us to go home quickly and find a safe sea area to sleep.
There are pilot whales and sperm whales here, so it's really not a good place to rest.
"Mm-hmm," the uncle agreed, happily calling out to the little guy and helping him find a suitable place to sleep.
The aunt also swam to Yu Yiyun and said that she would take good care of the baby and let the little one grow up safely.
After swimming for so long, Yu Yiyun finally found her grandma and aunt. It seemed natural for her to go home with them.
He looked in the direction the passing whale was swimming, but was unwilling to swim forward for a long time.
Although it was good to find the whale's home, Yu Yiyun still had a vast ocean to explore, and the promise of "going to Antarctica together" had not yet been fulfilled.
Moreover, I am not a complete North Atlantic Type 2 killer whale.
He is so small, can he survive well in a group?
The North Atlantic Type 2 killer whale mainly feeds on other whales. With its own abilities, it is estimated that it cannot go head-on with sperm whales and blue whales. Do it have to be fed by domestic whales for the rest of its life?
Before Yu Yiyun could think it through, the stupid blackfin gang finally got rid of the pursuit of the pilot whale and swam back according to the location.
"Ehh." Little guy, it's too dangerous here.
"Chirp!" Yes, we are being chased by both sperm whales and pilot whales.
We won’t eat them!
The silly blackfin gang suffered a lot of grievances and wanted to take the little guy to safer waters as soon as possible.
The wanderer looked at the little guy, then looked at the killer whale behind him, and reminded his companions:
"Woo." This is the little guy's home.
"Hmm?" Uncle asked curiously: Little guy, what are they talking about?
"Hmm..."
Before Yu Yijun could figure out how to translate it, his grandmother swam over and patted his back with her pectoral fin.
"Buzz." Go ahead, little guy.
"Hmm?" Yu Yiyun looked at her grandmother in surprise.
At that moment, he even suspected: Could grandma actually understand the common language of the killer whale world?
"Buzz." The ocean is really beautiful, but it's a pity that your mother can't see it for the time being.
"Buzz." You look at her more for her, and go home when you have seen enough.
My aunt understood what grandma meant, so she came over and gently caressed the little one who had just recognized each other but was about to be separated again.
"Squeak." Little guy, we will always be your home whale.
My cousin was still young and had not experienced that cruel separation.
But having been with her grandma and mother over the years, she could more or less feel the emotions of the killer whales and knew how much they longed for a reunion.
Even so, they still decided to let go of the fins and let the little guy sail with his companions.
My cousin thought for a long time and came up with a sentence that best summarized the current situation.
"Cuckoo."
They love you, little one.
“…嘤!”
Yu Yiyun was instantly moved and responded loudly, "I love you too!"
The silly blackfin party was instantly jealous and surrounded him to question:
'How come I fell in love the moment we met', 'Do you love me then', 'I want to be the first love'...
The little fat tiger, surrounded by love, cried loudly with happiness.
"Ying!" I love you~
"Hmm!" I love all the killer whales in the ocean!
