Fu Wan hid herself under the black cloth, then reached out and tapped the railing on the side of the boat three times.
Soon, three responses came from the other side, a signal she and Bai Qianzhou had agreed upon, meaning she was safe.
Fu Wan withdrew her hand and began to examine the situation under the black cloth.
Under the black cloth was a water tank at least four or five meters long, and the sound of water splashing against the tank could be heard from time to time.
Fu Wan gently helped herself up from the water tank. Although there was no light under the black cloth, Fu Wan could still see everything clearly.
A sperm whale calf, about three or four meters long, was lying half-dead in the tank.
It had many marks from fishing nets and whip marks on its body.
The tail was the most severely injured. Its once beautiful tail, resembling butterfly wings, was now covered in wounds, and you could even see the whale flesh that had been soaked white by the seawater.
"Click click click..."
The sperm whale sensed something was wrong in the darkness and thought the two-legged creature that had been tormenting it had returned.
Just as it was about to make a fierce face, a hand suddenly landed on it and gently stroked its head.
That feeling instantly made it feel like it was back with its mother.
"Waaaaah..."
Fu Wan wiped away the tears from the little sperm whale's eyes and gasped with heartache.
This baby sperm whale is probably only recently born. These people are capturing sperm whales not to keep them in captivity, but to take things from them.
In short, it's all about profit.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out of here."
Fu Wan comforted the little sperm whale in a soft voice. The little whale seemed to understand and shook its head to the side, looking anxious.
Fu Wan found it strange, and when she turned her head, she discovered that there was another box covered with a black cloth behind her.
Is there more than one sperm whale on board?
Don't sperm whales usually give birth to one sperm at a time?
After thinking for a moment, Fu Wan bent down and quietly approached. When she lifted the black cloth, she was stunned.
It wasn't a sperm whale, or even a whale, but a sea monster!
The sea monster had hands and feet, looked like a dinosaur, and had a pair of dark, shiny eyes staring at Fu Wan in fear.
In an instant, Fu Wan remembered that Fu Ming had said someone had encountered a monster at sea. Now, looking at the sea monster in front of her, she suddenly realized that this must be the monster they were talking about!
It's called a sea monster, but it's actually a sea lizard, also known as a marine iguana.
Compared to ordinary lizards, marine iguanas are larger, with robust and sturdy bodies and very bright colors.
The marine iguana before her had sharp spikes on its head and thick scales on its back, as if it were wearing a hard suit of armor. Its limbs were strong and powerful, and it looked intimidating, but Fu Wan knew that this creature was not aggressive and mainly fed on seaweed.
To be honest, this was the first time Fu Wan had ever been so close to a marine iguana.
Xu Laobie and his group kept the captured whales and marine iguanas in tanks. Fu Wan guessed that he was probably planning to sell them live, otherwise there was no explanation for why he would keep them in tanks.
Whether it's marine iguanas or sperm whales, without buying and selling, there would be no harm.
Every country has different laws. These marine animals, which are protected in Chinese waters, can have their meat served on dinner tables and their skins sent to factories in other countries.
Fu Wan was furious at what she saw. She was best friends with the whales, and the baby sperm whale was like a child in her eyes.
These people not only captured them, but also injured the baby sperm whale and marine iguana all over their bodies. Just looking at Fu Wan made her want to shoot them eight hundred times over!
Whatever they intend to do with these marine animals, Fu Wan must return them to the ocean today.
As Fu Wan was thinking, Bai Qianzhou took advantage of the chaos to climb onto her.
They were all wearing diving suits, and to avoid being too conspicuous, Bai Qianzhou didn't even carry an oxygen tank.
"Wan, where are you?"
It was pitch black all around, and Bai Qianzhou couldn't see what was under the black cloth at all.
“I’m here, and next to me is the baby sperm whale, Bai Qianzhou. We need to hurry up. They’re injured, and such a small tank will only make them feel worse.”
Bai Qianzhou touched the water tank. It was probably made of wood and lined with a tarpaulin.
“I just walked around the boat, and Zhang Fugui is right. There are only three people on board: one is steering the boat, and the other two are on the deck.”
"Awan, if we want to rescue the sperm whale, we must capture those two people."
Fu Wan nodded.
“They have guns, but that’s okay. At this speed, I estimate that the guy will have to go back to reload in less than five minutes.”
Fu Wan was right; Xu Laobie was furious.
Sperm whales in the sea are really tough to deal with; the gunshots not only didn't scare them, but actually made them even angrier.
Xu Laobie pulled the trigger repeatedly, and soon his gun ran out of bullets.
"Damn it, what a waste of my bullets!"
Xu Laobie turned around with a dark face and gave Wang Mazi, who was holding a long hook and scaring the sperm whale, instructions.
"Ma Zi, you hold the line, I'll go get the bullets."
Wang Mazi was stunned. At this moment, his boss was out of bullets.
Good heavens, he only has a long hook in his hand, how can he possibly deal with that giant sperm whale!
Perhaps sensing the fear in Wang Mazi's heart, Xu Laobie thought for a moment, then took out a pistol from his pocket with a pained expression and handed it to Wang Mazi.
"I don't need to teach you how to drive, you just hold on for now. When I get back, this sperm whale's life must be spared today!"
After saying that, he stormed towards the cabin. He needed to quickly change his gun; the large one he bought last time was still under the bed, and now was the perfect time to take it out and shoot this sperm whale.
The sperm whale had just caused quite a commotion, and his boat was badly damaged. He'll have to find someone to repair it when he gets back.
Thinking about all this made Xu Laobie even angrier, wishing he could jump into the sea and fight that sperm whale.
I let it go before, but it came back looking for trouble.
Since that's the case, he had no choice but to send it to its death!
However, dreams are always beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Just as Xu Laobie was passing by the black cloth and preparing to return to the cabin, he felt a sea breeze blow past him. Before he could turn around, a short knife was already at his neck.
"Who...who are you?"
Bai Qianzhou didn't say anything. Fu Wan stepped forward and snatched his gun, then smashed it at Wang Mazi, who was still trying to load it.
The force was so great that Wang Mazi fell to the ground with a thud, directly knocked unconscious by Fu Wan.
Xu Laobie was startled by Fu Wan's rough handling and his heart trembled. Looking at Bai Qianzhou's somewhat familiar face, he suddenly remembered.
"You're from that big ship, what are you trying to do, rob us?"
That's not right. Wang Mazi just said that it was a fishing boat from Fujia Village.
What do they mean by attacking me now? Does it mean that these people who go to sea to make a lot of money are actually doing the same kind of business as me?
Xu Laobie instantly felt he had figured out the truth, and he hurriedly looked at Bai Qianzhou with a big smile and said, "Comrade, comrade, I am also a fisherman."
"Let's talk this out, please don't fight! Just let me go, and I'll make you rich!"
