Chapter 66 Preparing to Dive into the Sea: Four Big Fish (Revised)
The entire deck was filled with fish and shrimp of all sizes.
But the culprit happened to be stopped in the sea in front of the fishing boat, looking up at you with a pleading expression.
"...There are just too many fish and shrimp." Gu Yiliu exclaimed as he listened to Hong Shengnan.
She sighed, "Let's pack it up first. We can't eat that much anyway. If all else fails, we'll feed some baby whales."
Hong Shengnan didn't immediately understand her implied meaning, but upon hearing that it could be for the orcas, he became excited again, "I'll feed them! I'll feed them!"
I'm so excited about feeding whales in the deep sea for the first time.
Gu Yiliu followed him, and she and the other crew members picked up the fish and shrimp. Everyone was quite excited. The ship's chef suggested, "If we can't eat all of these, we can dry them into fish jerky to keep them fresh."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Yiliu expectantly.
What to do after watching?
Chef: "After all, the blue whale only brought so many fish because it listened to you."
Gu Yiliu smiled and said, "Sure, there's plenty anyway."
"Alright, I'll cook tonight, a whole fish feast! Frying, boiling, stewing, and more!"
Gu Yiliu collected a bucket of fish and shrimp, and looked at the two whales in front of the fishing boat.
She first thanked the blue whale, "Blue whale, thank you! When would you like me to help you clean the barnacles?"
"Waaaaah?" Is it okay now?
Listening to the blue whale's call up close, like the roar of a warship on the high seas, it felt as if the air itself vibrated; the sound was distant and magnificent.
It didn't frighten anyone; instead, it had a calming effect. Gu Yiliu felt relieved. "Right now, I can only help you clean the barnacles around your nose and head."
There was nothing she could do to help with the rest.
"Waaah!" Officer Gu, you can climb onto my back.
As the blue whale spoke, it opened and closed its nostrils, gently spitting out a jet of water. Although it controlled its strength, the jet of water was still quite spectacular, like a heavy rain, shooting into the sky in front of Gu Yiliu and then quickly falling back down.
The water soaked Gu Yiliu and the others on the deck completely. Gu Yiliu couldn't even open his eyes because of the rushing water.
Although I know the blue whale didn't do it on purpose, that it was happy, and that it controlled its strength, the blue whale still acted a bit recklessly.
Even the orca got angry, its small body ramming into the blue whale, letting out a loud "Ooh ooh ooh!" What are you doing?!
The orca couldn't even budge the blue whale; the blue whale only felt a slight itch where it had been hit.
It glanced around, but not noticing the squealing baby killer whale, it ignored it.
Anyway, the baby killer whale is so small that it can be swallowed whole in one gulp.
The blue whale slowly straightened its upper body until it was level with the height of the fishing boat, and let out a soft cry.
"Officer Gu, come on up!"
Gu Yiliu wiped the water off his face and glanced at the bucket he was carrying. "I'll feed the baby whale some food first. In the eyes of your whale pod, it's just a baby. It acts recklessly, so don't take it personally."
"Waaaaah!"
Officer Gu, I won't be reckless!
Gu Yiliu glanced at the baby whale. With the blue whale, the apex predator of the ocean, around, it was quite a struggle for her to find the baby whale.
There's no way around it, the frame of reference is too big.
So big that the baby whale was overlooked.
She waved to the baby whale, and the baby whale flicked its tail fin and swam right up to Gu Yiliu, opening its mouth wide.
Gu Yiliu threw fish into its mouth and said earnestly, "Look how big the blue whale is, and how big are you? If you're so reckless, you'll get eaten in the ocean!"
The baby whale shook its head and whimpered, as if it was throwing a tantrum.
Even the fish that Gu Yiliu threw to it fell into the sea.
"Waaah!" It can't bully Officer Gu!
Gu Yiliu's heart softened as she listened to its obedient and soft words. She had only known the baby whale for two days, yet it already trusted her so much.
“I’m not blaming you, I’m teaching you. And since Blue Whale has come, he’s a friend. Friends shouldn’t fight.”
"Waaah!" I don't want to fight! I'm a good girl!
Gu Yiliu watched as it opened its mouth wide, waiting for her to feed it. She smiled amusedly; the baby whale was very clever and knew how to save face.
After being fed a bucket of fish, the baby whale shook its head, indicating that it didn't want any more.
It sprayed water, lifted itself up, and tried to spray Gu Yiliu, but Gu Yiliu said, "If you keep playing in the water, I won't take you to find your mother. I'll take you to the authorities and sell you to someone else!"
"Eek!" The baby whale let out a long cry and sank vertically into the seawater, but it didn't sink completely. Its head would occasionally float to the surface, spying on what Gu Yiliu was doing on the deck.
Ignoring the baby whale's childlike nature, Gu Yiliu put down the bucket and, with the help of others, slowly climbed onto the blue whale's head.
"First-rate, be careful."
This was the first time anyone else had ever seen a human dare to climb onto a blue whale's head.
Although Gu Yiliu was secured with a safety rope and wearing non-slip shoes, she wasn't climbing a tall building; she was climbing onto the top of a whale's head.
Gu Yilu gently touched the blue whale's head; it was very rough. Looking closer, he could see the pitted and uneven skin on its head, caused by being bumped by marine life or sharp coral.
When Gu Yiliu touched it, it felt rough, like holding stone chips.
After she had settled on top of the blue whale, she gestured for Hong Shengnan to hand her the tools for cleaning the barnacles.
After she gets it.
"Waaah!" Officer Gu, sit still, I'm about to move.
The blue whale called out and asked her.
Looking at the boundless sea, Gu Yiliu suddenly felt that she was too bold to stand on the head of a blue whale.
DianDian snorted. Even as a system, it thought Gu Yiliu was incredibly audacious. "So you're only finding out now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yiliu felt the blue whale beneath his feet begin to move.
Gu Yiliu, forgetting his banter with Dian Dian, quickly squatted down, grabbing the barnacles on its back, and asked, "Where are we going?"
The blue whale didn't say anything, but it took a step back, but not far from the fishing boat. If Gu Yiliu had any skills, he could have jumped directly onto the deck with a little running start above its head.
The blue whale floated on the surface of the water to maintain its balance, allowing Gu Yiliu to stand more steadily.
"Waaah!" Officer Gu, we can begin.
Gu Yiliu walked to the top of its head near the nose and discovered that the area around the nose was covered with two thick layers of barnacles. If the blue whale hadn't used its nose to touch the water, its nasal cavity would probably have been completely filled with them.
She scraped off the barnacles with a scraper; some of them even burrowed into the flesh.
Gu Yiliu tried to open it.
"Ouch!" It hurts!
The blue whale's massive body trembled, and the entire whale sank down.
"Blue whale! I'm still on your head!"
The blue whale paused in its descent, then slowly rose back to the surface.
"Ouch!" That hurts! Officer Gu, please be gentle!
Gu Yiliu hummed in agreement, but still applied the necessary force; otherwise, the barnacles wouldn't come off.
As a result, on the fishing boats and throughout the surrounding sea for miles, everyone could hear the strange cries of the blue whale.
Sometimes short and sharp, "Eek!"
“Eek! Eek~ Eek~” she trembled at times.
All I could hear were screams of pain, so much pain.
Some curious marine creatures, such as whales or sharks, upon hearing this call, quickly swam towards the blue whale from all directions.
Such a painful cry must mean that the prey has lost a fight and can run over and eat what's already there.
After reaching an agreement, the two whales and two sharks swam together in the direction from which the sound came.
The deep blue sea shimmered, and a low humming sound came from beneath the undulating waves, like the roar of the ocean, which made people uneasy.
Gu Yiliu was unaware that several whales and sharks were about to arrive.
After cleaning the barnacles from the blue whale's nose, she went on to clean the barnacles from the rest of its back.
As for the barnacles in the abdomen, Gu Yiliu shouted to the people on the deck. Apart from the helmsman and the captain, everyone else stood around watching the spectacle.
It was not only lively but also spectacular.
Do you have any diving equipment?
"I have a set."
Hong Shengnan excitedly raised his hand. He grew up by the sea and had been swimming since he was a child. He bought his diving equipment after he started working and brought it with him on this trip to sea.
However, he was surprised, "First-rate, you want to go diving? To clean the barnacles off this blue whale?"
Gu Yiliu nodded. "Blue Whale, you'll protect me, right?"
She patted the blue whale's head.
"Eek!" Yes! I will protect Officer Gu.
The blue whale was delighted. It had far more barnacles on its belly than on its back, so Gu Yiliu was willing to dive down and clean them for it. It was very happy and grateful.
When Gu Yiliu saw that the positive review rating had actually increased, and looked at the 47% positive review rating, her smile deepened, and she patted the blue whale's head again.
"I...can I go too?" Hong Shengnan asked. "I have several diving suits!"
"I'll take your picture. I can swim and I can dive. I've trained."
Gu Yiliu patted the blue whale's head, and the blue whale slowly approached the fishing boat, allowing Gu Yiliu to board.
"Blue Whale, do you want him to go down too?"
"Waaah!" I listened to Officer Gu.
In the blue whale's mind, all marine creatures fear it, and it can easily protect three calves of blue whales. It can certainly protect two humans as well.
"Let's go down then, maybe we can take some pictures with the blue whale."
The others just thought they were daring and couldn't persuade them otherwise, so they helped them pack their diving gear.
Just as the two finished putting on their diving suits, excited shouts suddenly came from all directions.
"Waaaaah~" I smell it! It's nearby! Hurry, go!
"Waaaaah~" Yes, it's nearby~
"Aww~" Delicious food, here I come~
Gu Yiliu looked at the blue whale and asked it, "What happened?"
"There are two whales and two sharks!" The blue whale could smell them from afar. It snorted and a column of water shot into the sky. Its cry spread in all directions, and even the seawater seemed to tremble, not understanding why they would come looking for death.
The baby whale was closest to the blue whale, and most of the seawater crashed onto it.
It cried out in pain.
"Waaah!" Officer Gu, it's bullying me!
"Waaah!" Come here, little one! Otherwise, you're such a tiny little thing, you'd be torn to pieces if they fought.
As the blue whale spoke, the two whales and two sharks came into their sight.
Although the baby whale was unhappy about being bullied, it was still quite aware of the danger. It quickly hid next to the blue whale.
When the four large fish saw the blue whale in front of the fishing boat, they all trembled and dared not go any further.
"Waaaaah!" There are still people! So many people!
"Waaaaah? Waaaaah?" There are so many people, what should we do? Should we leave?
"Waaah!" What's the point of running away? What if the blue whale catches up?! We're begging those humans!
"Waaaaah?" But how do we get past that blue whale?
As Gu Yiliu listened to the large fish talking, he saw a slender Bryde's whale suddenly charge at the shark that had been looking puzzled. "Idiot! What are you afraid of with humans around!"
Gu Yiliu: "..."
