"Dad, hurry and set sail! Sharks are coming!"
Fu Wan hurriedly stood up and whispered, "Boss Fu."
Upon hearing Fu Wan's shout, Boss Fu immediately stood up as well.
"Sharks, where are the sharks?"
Before Fu Wan could answer, he himself quickly noticed the unusual thing about the sea.
"I'll go set sail right now!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the cockpit.
The boat was quickly started, and in the brief pause between starts, Boss Fu spotted the shark's location. Based on his experience, he was certain it was a fully grown great white shark.
Why bother fishing now? We have to run away first.
As the ship moved further and further away from the great white shark, Fu Wan stood on the deck, anxiously watching the two orcas in the distance.
It's not that they're abandoning the orcas and running away on their own; rather, for the great white shark, the ocean's apex predator, the only nemesis might be the orca.
However, for humans, staying here might only cause trouble for the orcas.
Despite their friendly attitude towards humans, it's safe to say that almost every large fish in the ocean has been hunted by orcas.
Even great white sharks.
For some reason, Fu Wan suddenly thought of the piece of entrails that the baby killer whale had been holding in its mouth, and then she remembered that Ye Xiaocui said it was the entrails of a great white shark, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Normally, if a great white shark knows that there is a pod of killer whales in this area, it will stay away from this area and may not return for several months. However, this great white shark actually confronted the killer whale head-on, which is indeed quite unusual.
Could it be that they've come seeking revenge again?
After Boss Fu steered the boat a little further out, most of the great white shark's body emerged from the water. (Image of a great white shark, please delete if infringing copyright). Fu Wan stared intently at that spot, her heart pounding in her chest.
The two orcas were alone, one large and one small, with the smaller one being considerably smaller than the one that was close to Fu Wan.
It's clearly a newborn orca calf.
The great white shark's target was also very clear: the smaller orca calf.
It slowly swam toward the orca, and the orca noticed this and was about to dive down and escape with its calf when it was spotted by the great white shark, which opened its mouth to bite the orca calf.
However, that great orca was no pushover either. It swam over quickly and rammed into the great white shark with great force, sending it flying a long way.
Even so, the great white shark did not give up its attack. It turned around and swam back, circling the killer whale looking for an opportunity to strike.
"My God, where did the orca pod go? That great white shark is definitely eyeing the orca calves!"
Ye Xiaocui was also intently watching the sea, her brows furrowed in anxiety.
People's hearts are definitely inclined to side with the orca pod, which is known for its human-like qualities, since everyone has benefited from them.
Ye Zhenxing was particularly excited and said, "Auntie, why don't we take the boat over and help them!"
Seeing the great white shark fixated on the orca cub, Ye Zhenxing's youthful sense of righteousness was stirred up.
Fu Wan did not reply; in fact, she was also desperately trying to think of a way to save the orca calf.
Charging over there with my own ship would obviously not be of much help; if it angered the great white shark, it could capsize the ship in no time.
Not to mention there were several children on the boat who couldn't swim very well.
The problem is that the orca pod has disappeared. I wish I could call them out myself.
A pod of orcas is enough to make a great white shark flee in terror.
Oh right, should we call the orcas out?
Fu Wan suddenly slapped her forehead, realizing that she had been so worried that she had forgotten she could whistle to call out to the baby orca.
So she immediately took action, quickly took off her gloves, bent her index finger and put it in her mouth, a whistle sounded, and everyone looked expectantly at the sea.
But even after two minutes, there was still no sign of the orca pod on the surface of the sea.
Meanwhile, a great white shark in the distance was already eager to attack, its sharp teeth appearing even more terrifying in the darkness.
Little killer whale, killer whale pod, where are you?
The sound of the whistle carried far into the silent night.
Fu Wan's cheeks ached slightly from blowing on the air, but she still dared not stop.
Just as Fu Wan was about to lose her breath and was racking her brains for other methods, the familiar white dorsal fin finally resurfaced.
The baby killer whale heard her call!
As soon as the baby killer whale's dorsal fin broke the surface of the water, the great white shark noticed the movement on the surface.
Before the great white shark could react, the baby killer whale rushed over at top speed and angrily rammed into the great white shark.
The speed and power were things Fu Wan had never seen before.
Don't underestimate the impact of an orca's ramming attack. According to previous news reports, the impact of an orca's ramming attack is enough to cause internal bleeding in sharks.
This is why orcas are able to hunt great white sharks.
When the great white shark saw the baby orca charging at it, it was about to turn around and attack the calf, but when it turned around, it found that the two orcas, one big and one small, had run away at some point, and in their place were several adult orcas that were eyeing it menacingly.
Fu Wan, standing on the deck, witnessed the scene just now. Just as the baby orca surfaced, many orcas appeared in the waters behind the great white shark, while the large orca protected its cub and quickly retreated.
In other words, those left on the battlefield were all young and strong orcas, and almost all of them were male orcas. This is because orca pods are matriarchal societies, and according to Fu Wan's guess, the little orca that was close to her was either already a leader or a successor to the leader.
After all, the other orcas clearly listened to the baby orcas.
The arrival of the orca pod left the great white shark defenseless. In addition, the baby orcas were extremely fierce. Before long, the great white shark was chased into the sea by the orca pod and then disappeared without a trace.
Only the ever-undulating seawater remained, its color indistinguishable in the darkness.
After watching this spectacular show, Ye Zhenxing was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
He never knew that the orca that had just looked so docile was actually so powerful!
Fortunately, orcas never attack humans unless provoked. Otherwise, given their intelligence and fighting ability, people going out to sea would be constantly on edge.
Seeing that there was no movement on the sea, Boss Fu set sail to continue trawling.
Fu Liang went over to relieve him, "Uncle, go take a nap, I'll drive the boat."
Boss Fu didn't refuse, only instructing, "If you're sleepy, just call out."
Fu Ming and Fu Liang took turns driving the boat. Ye Lin didn't know how to drive, and among Fu Wan, Ye Xiaocui, and Jiang Chunlan, only Fu Wan knew how to drive.
Seeing that it was already past eleven o'clock, Boss Fu found a sheltered and clean spot on the deck, laid out a straw mat, covered himself with a coat, and went to sleep.
That's how it is for fishermen at sea; apart from the cabin, this is the only place they can rest.
After cleaning up the deck, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan also felt a bit sleepy, so they decided to go into the cabin to squeeze in with the children and take a nap together.
"Wan, do you want to go to sleep for a while?"
Fu Wan shook her head. She had slept quite a bit in the afternoon and wasn't sleepy at the moment.
Moreover, the space inside the cabin is limited; three children plus two adults are already the limit.
"I'll go later, you guys go to sleep first."
Seeing this, Ye Xiaocui didn't try to persuade her further, and turned around and went into the cabin with Jiang Chunlan.
Fu Ming was equally energetic; he was feeling bored when he noticed the fishing rod next to him.
"Ah Wan, how about we have a fishing competition? Whoever comes in last place has to wash the dishes for half a month!"
