Adeley 1
The camera slowly unfolds, revealing a world of ice and snow.
It's freezing cold here, and there's no one living there. The occasional breeze brings snowflakes, and it makes you feel cold just by looking at them.
The audience who entered the live broadcast room was stunned for a moment, went out to read the label introduction, and then came back fully prepared.
Oh! It’s the end of the world!
Although the protagonist this time only has a few sentences of introduction, it can be seen that he has a kind and gentle personality.
Well... Putting it all together...
Isn’t it just a typical Madonna in the apocalypse setting!
Everyone has already reached a consensus on this subject matter - the Virgin Mary must be killed first in the end times!
How can such a setting be reasonable?
Although they don't have high hopes, the audience is still looking forward to subsequent developments.
The camera moves forward from a large glacier, and finally, other colors appear in the white snow.
What surprised the audience a little was that what appeared in the camera were not the people they guessed, but a few furry animals.
And...it seems like the atmosphere is a bit tense?
“Chirp! Chirp!”
Several chubby, furry emperor penguin chicks were shivering. They huddled together like a nest of dumplings, making soft cries, with fear written all over their dark eyes.
And around them, a large petrel was watching eagerly.
The petrel wants to eat the little penguin.
Although emperor penguin chicks are larger than petrels, they are still chicks after all. They have soft mouths, clumsy movements, and lack of aggressiveness. The fur on their bodies can easily be snatched by natural enemies, so they can only curl up in place pitifully to defend themselves, for fear of being snatched away by natural enemies.
"oh--!"
Haiyan attacked again.
This time, it almost succeeded in snatching a little penguin. Fortunately, the emperor penguin chick was strong enough to break free from the sharp beak of its natural enemy. Although the price was a few tufts of fluff pulled out, it was worth it compared to its life.
The attack from natural enemies made the already nervous little guys even more nervous. They huddled together and spread their little wings in an attempt to protect themselves and their companions.
Haiyan couldn't find a gap for the time being, so he patrolled around, looking for the flaws of this small team.
At this moment, in the distance of the picture, a team seemed to pass by.
The camera zoomed in and focused at the right time, revealing a small group of penguins in tuxedos.
Snap, snap.
Snap, snap.
They look even smaller than emperor penguin chicks, with tiny heads, black and white bodies, and a silly and cute way of walking with their wings lifted, swaying and tossing their heads. They look particularly harmless, and one might even worry that the petrels will turn around and attack them since they clearly look more like little desserts.
But this is an Adélie penguin.
There is no doubt that these penguins in tuxedos are reliable adult penguins.
The Adélie penguin at the end of the team stopped, slowly turned its head, looked at the confrontation in the distance, and blinked.
Well, it seems that it has noticed something special in the distance.
And so are the rest of the Adélie penguins.
“Gah!”
“Ahahaha!”
The penguins looked at each other and made meaningless noises tacitly. They shook their heads and seemed to have no good intentions.
If someone could understand their calls, they could probably give the following translation:
It's the dumb big cub!
Hit them and drive them away!
I'll kick it, I'll kick it!
However, before they could work out the specific division of labor, they saw the youngest Adeli in the team, who had just joined, actually ran out with a bang, heading straight for the two parties confronting each other in the distance.
What an anxious young goose!
Adley sighed like this, but after all, this was their job, so the team followed along.
But the subsequent developments surprised them all.
The emperor penguin chicks and petrels are in a tense standoff.
Compared to the panic of the cubs, the petrel was obviously much calmer. After all, the food was right in front of it, and it was only a matter of time before it could put it into its mouth.
Just then——
"Ga! Ga!"
A petite Adélie penguin suddenly rushed over, flapping its wings. It broke the calm of the confrontation almost in a heroic manner. While protecting the emperor penguin chicks behind it, it made a shrill and sharp cry at the big petrel.
As they got closer, the size difference between the two penguins became more obvious.
This Adélie penguin doesn't even look as tall as the shortest of the emperor penguin chicks.
But it is indeed an adult penguin.
So it intends to protect its cubs.
[Oh my! I've seen this scene in a documentary! I didn't expect to see it here too! ]
[Adeli is a kind and righteous person! He is a caring citizen of Antarctica~]
[Your uncle Adley is here——]
[Hahahaha, although, it looks much smaller than the emperor penguin chick. Can it really beat the bird outside? ]
[Don't underestimate Adélie penguins, they are very aggressive ()]
The audience was still admiring the Adélie penguin's behavior of helping the weak when the narrator suddenly spoke up and said that the scene in front of them was the protagonist's act of helping the weak with a kind heart.
The audience was shocked.
No, the word "kind-hearted" is associated with the Adelie penguin, which is known for being a villain. It's as ridiculous as a little white flower appearing in a bandit's den! !
What shocked them even more was the next scene.
"Oh! Ouch!"
The attack was fruitless, and then came the adult penguin that could only fight and kick. Seeing four or five identical tuxedo penguins following closely behind, the giant petrel felt frustrated and had to leave in shame.
After driving away the petrel, the Adélie penguin did not impatiently and violently drive away the cubs that were already frightened and stiffened in place. Instead, it turned around, shook its head in a friendly manner, and called gently to the cubs as if coaxing a child.
"quack."
“…Chirp?”
The cubs' black and white faces were filled with confusion, making them look particularly cute.
Although emperor penguin chicks are more than one meter tall, they are essentially still chicks with their down still attached.
They traveled together today to go into the sea together, but they didn't expect to be attacked by natural enemies.
So scary!
I don’t know how to resist at all!
As for the tiny, unfamiliar adult penguin that helped them...
They all lowered their heads at the same time, and the little penguin in a black tuxedo in front of them nodded at them politely and gracefully, offering to escort them for a while.
Oh, it's so good!
The cubs flapped their fluffy little wings happily and thought in sync.
Just like their real uncle!
With the escort of adult penguins, the cubs walked confidently for a few steps and saw more tuxedo penguins.
They should have been very happy.
However, unlike the Adélie penguin next to it, the adult penguins on the other side did not seem so friendly...
“Chirp!!”
Suddenly, a slowly walking cub was bitten viciously on its butt by an Adélie. The cub panicked, its paws slipped and it fell to the ground. Before it could recover, the Adélie bit its butt several more times. The desire to survive made it stand up and escape even though its paws slipped.
The rest of the companions were treated in the same way to a greater or lesser extent. The team was suddenly filled with the whining cries of the cubs, but they soon disappeared because the only way to avoid being nagged was to speed up the pace and concentrate on getting on with the journey.
The cubs were crying internally.
What’s going on?
Isn’t Uncle Penguin very gentle?
How come it has changed so much!!
"quack."
Just then, the original Adeli stood up again.
It took the initiative to stop the Adélie pigs that were herding their cubs like sheep, and seemed to say something, the content of which caused its companions to raise their voices and bark at it a few times as if they did not understand or question it.
But it is as stable as a rock, and still outputs its own opinions——
This is really too much to treat the cubs.
Can't you be a little gentler? There's no rush anyway.
Other villains Adderley: …
Oh my god, this penguin definitely has something wrong with his brain!!
They chirped and tried to persuade the young goose to get on the right track:
When you see the furry butts of these stupid cubs, don't you want to kick them?
——Why are you kicking the cub? This is too much!
They are not our cubs! They are walking slowly and occupying the territory! We should kick them to run faster!
——There’s still time to walk slowly. If you go into the water too early, the cubs might drown.
You, you, you! We won't send you off if you walk so slowly! Let them just stand there and be bitten to death by the big bird!
——Okay, then you guys go back first, I'll continue to send them off.
The villains Adley were deeply shocked.
Oh my god! Is this guy still Adley?
Could it be that some deformed mutated emperor penguin had its color mixed in?
What kind of kid did he grow up with? He won't bully a goose! It's a misfortune for the family!
They are deeply distressed.
But the Adélie didn't pay attention to the violent reactions of its companions. After it had said everything it needed to say, it turned around without hesitation and staggered to catch up with the cubs who had stopped in the distance.
Seeing a few emperor penguin chicks reflexively start the race mode, it gently comforts them:
"quack."
It's okay.
Now you can walk slowly.
"Chirp...Chirp?"
The emperor penguin chicks shrunk their necks and continued walking tremblingly. They turned their heads inadvertently and found that the other Adélie penguins had turned around and left, and only the gentle uncle penguin who had stepped forward to help at the beginning was still following them.
It never urges or nagged the penguins. It just spreads its wings and walks happily with them, shaking its head and looking around. It looks as harmless and friendly as a child.
Unconsciously, the cubs became bolder.
In response, the narrator came out to explain:
“There may be disagreements when doing good things, but TA does not care about other factors and simply wants to protect the weak.”
"For this reason, he even broke up with his friends and acted alone."
Audience: …
They were deeply shocked.
[Why not? They are completely consistent! ]
[Oh my god, although I have seen similar plots in documentaries, the subsequent developments really shocked me. This Adélie is really extraordinary and deserves to be the protagonist! ]
[So this is the Virgin Mary! The only gentle character in the ice and snow, she even takes care of the cubs, so good, so good, I love it! ]
[Hiss, especially when there is a saint among the Adélie penguins...hahahaha, who understands this feeling of disconnection! I can already foresee the subsequent show effects, goose goose goose. ]
Escorting the cubs can be a rather boring process, but this special Adélie penguin obviously enjoys it.
It maintained sufficient enthusiasm and followed the emperor penguin chicks, escorting them all the way to the edge of the glacier.
It's time for these pups to go in the water.
Under normal circumstances, Adélie penguins escort emperor penguin chicks in order to free up territory as quickly as possible for reproduction, so they will drive the chicks as quickly as possible. At this juncture, it is normal to kick them one by one.
But here, the protagonist Adley is not as villain as rumored.
When it saw the cubs chirping and looking at the cold water with hesitant expressions and their wings folded in, not daring to move, it did not feel disdain or ridicule because the cubs were taller than it.
On the contrary, in the next second, it took the initiative to call out to the cubs to look over, and then jumped into the water with a splash.
“Plop! Wow—”
The protagonist Adley demonstrated the process of entering the water to the cubs several times, doing it himself as if he was the biological father of these cubs.
"Chiu?"
“Chirp!”
The emperor penguin chicks poked their heads out, curiously observing Uncle Penguin's actions. With their teacher, they finally felt more confident and went into the water one after another, like gray dumplings put into a pot.
Although they were not used to it at first, the cubs soon mastered the ability to swim.
Learning to swim is just the first step.
In order to survive, the cubs will need to learn a lot.
Of course, the protagonist Adley, who was just passing by, could not participate in those things.
“Gah!”
Back on land, the protagonist Adélie waved goodbye in a friendly manner to the little penguins who looked back at him in the water, and then staggered back to the territory of his own race alone.
It was one of the last male penguins to return.
As the breeding season is about to begin, male Adélie penguins will come ashore first to prepare for this year's breeding season, including but not limited to driving away emperor penguin colonies that were supposed to leave.
They didn’t come too early this year, most of the emperor penguins were already gone.
Only a group of cubs were left, who were about to enter the sea but were afraid to do so, so they stayed together on land.
…Although they are called cubs, they are old enough to go to the sea after all. The size of these cubs can no longer be considered babies. Anyway, they are much taller than adult Adélie penguins.
However, their tall stature is in vain, and when faced with danger they can only huddle together with their companions in fear, not daring to move.
Such accidents conflict with the need for the large Adélie group to clear out the breeding territory, so every time this happens, there will be a special Adélie team to clean up the cubs.
The specific measure is to drive them into the water.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the expulsion is simple and rough, and the emperor penguin chicks are driven away directly through violent means such as pecking and biting.
"quack--"
"Hahaha!"
When the protagonist Adélie returned to the territory, he heard a group of penguins loudly boasting about how long it took them to chase away the emperor penguins.
Seeing that the protagonist Adley was late, the members of the team that was originally with him came to laugh at him:
See, I told you to just chase him away!
It has always been like that, how can it be violent?
You come back late and don’t have time to rest!
The team members had just finished talking when they started to organize their foraging.
The protagonist Adley has just returned and has not had a chance to rest before he has to set off again.
“Gah.”
Facing the team members' gazes that seemed like they were watching a show, it responded good-temperedly and followed the foraging group without any commotion.
It's okay, the time is just right.
It has just reached adulthood and is very energetic. It doesn't need to rest for too long.
Teams: ...
Looking at the protagonist Adeli's back, swaying and holding his tail up, without any gloom, they were shocked again.
You're not even angry at all after being manipulated by Yin Yang!
This guy must be a fake Adley, right? Absolutely! !
Narrator:
"He is kindhearted and doesn't fit in with this world. He is being marginalized... This is natural. After all, the principle of this place is that the strong prey on the weak."
"But it doesn't matter, he believes he can change the world."
[I really feel that the protagonist Adeli has a different temperament from other Adelis...]
【A feeling of being enveloped by a glow ()】
[This kind of saintly protagonist doesn't make me angry at all, I even feel a little pity for her. What's going on? Hahaha, so cute. 】
[A polite, gentle and friendly little gentleman... Well, although it doesn't match the current reputation of the Adélie penguin, it unexpectedly matches the gentleness of this little swallowtail. This is also everyone's first impression of the Adélie penguin, hahahaha. ]
[Speaking of which, I am beginning to look forward to the foraging that will take place later! Will there be a famous scene? ]
Finding food is also a big challenge for Adélie penguins.
Well-known quote - Adley is a man of love and righteousness, kicking his brother on the edge of the cliff.
This means that when foraging, Adélie penguins are unsure whether there are natural enemies such as seals in the water ahead, so they will kick their companions directly into the water to identify them.
If your companions are fine, then jump down happily to find food. If something happens... then say a moment of silence and quickly run away to find another place.
Well, it can be said to be very damaging.
But today, the usually villainous Adelis were also in a rare shock.
Just because just now, the stupid Adeli, whom they had just laughed at for having the trouble of driving a cub, after learning about the team's concerns about the water ahead, actually took the initiative to walk to the edge of the cliff, and then jumped down without hesitation.
“Plop!”
Villain Adelis: !!
Oh my god!
How come it jumped by itself!
The villain Adley, who was standing behind the protagonist Adley and was about to do something bad, was also frightened by this. He lowered his head repeatedly to confirm that his claws had not been working just now, and then he and his companions approached the cliff to check with their heads out in confusion.
“Wow.”
After a while, a small black head floated up from the calm blue water.
"quack."
The weird Adeli who took the initiative to jump down to explore the way was actively communicating with his companions. He was a little cheerful and invited them to come down to eat together.
No problem, come on down!
There just so happens to be a large patch of krill right below! Come on!
The villains Adely looked at each other, and could see a sense of solemnity and uneasiness on each other's faces, which were only black and white.
Hiss, this shouldn’t be the case.
This is not Adelie at all!
Could it be... could it be that the guy had colluded with the seals below and wanted them all to jump down to fill the seals' stomachs?
Several smart Adeli made such evil speculations, but they couldn't help it. After looking at each other tacitly, they kicked the Adeli closest to the cliff down, and then looked down again with extra trust -
"puff!"
Well, the unlucky guy fell into the water.
“Puff!”
Well, the unlucky guy shows up.
“Gah!!”
Well, the unlucky guy started to curse angrily.
No danger!
All clear!
Seeing this, the remaining Adeli finally felt relieved and jumped into the water one after another.
And the strange Adélie at the beginning was not lying. There was a large area of krill under the water, and they didn't need to swim far to have a full meal.
But it’s really strange!
On the way back, the villains Adeli couldn't help but glance at the protagonist Adeli.
The other person looked sunny and cheerful, his gait was swaying, and his whole body exuded the good mood of being well-fed and satisfied.
Refreshing and cheerful.
simply……
It's totally out of place with their villain nest! !
Not allowed! Absolutely not allowed!
The villains looked at each other behind the protagonist Adley's back and reached a secret consensus.
It must be because I am still young and have not suffered any beatings from society.
It doesn't matter, they can give this a good beating.
Haha, make them black!
Stones are very important things, the hard currency of Antarctica.
Male Adélie penguins come to land early to build nests in order to win the favor of females.
It is difficult for fragile penguin eggs to survive in the ice and snow. As one of the only two penguins left in Antarctica to reproduce, Adélie penguins do not have a body large enough to warm the eggs like emperor penguins, so they can only use wisdom and build a small nest on land with stones to keep them warm enough.
So, stone is very important.
During the breeding season in the spring, in order to get a good enough nest, the Adélie penguins are so shameless that they can almost be said to have practiced the idiom "men are thieves and women are prostitutes".
The male penguins took the path of crime, while the female penguins obtained stones by seducing other male penguins and then turned around to continue building their own nests.
Well...both are very distinctive approaches.
But now, since the female penguins are still foraging in the sea, it is only possible that the male penguins are stealing.
“Pah, pah.”
“Pah, pah.”
At this time, our protagonist Adley was carrying small stones briskly.
As a male penguin who has just reached adulthood, he finds all the current processes new and interesting, including stacking stones to build a nest.
Although...it had no intention of looking for a female bird.
Well, the male bird doesn’t want to look for it either.
The protagonist Adley shook his head, lifted up his little wings, and picked up another stone.
But saying that might make its companions think it was even weirder, so it stopped talking.
Rather than welcoming a relationship, it actually wants to get in touch with unfamiliar things and witness more things in this world.
Well, for example, the group of cubs that we saw today that were bigger than it were helping their companions explore the way on the cliff, and now they were carrying stones to build nests. These were all very strange and interesting things.
“Pah, pah.”
Walking back to his nest happily, the protagonist Adley gently put down the stone and paused hesitantly.
Hmm, that's a bit strange...
It has put stones there so many times, why hasn’t the nest changed?
The protagonist Adley stood up in confusion, turned his head and looked around at the other penguin nests - they seemed to be much more complete than before.
But as it scanned, the Adeli around it somehow turned their heads and looked towards the horizon.
The horizon? Is there something in the sky?
The Adélie followed their gaze, but obviously saw nothing, so it could only continue to carry the stones.
To be honest, it doesn't care that its nest is in tatters.
After all, it is not planning to find a mate, and picking up stones to build a nest is just a novel experience for it.
It didn't know that right behind it, a group of thieves who were pretending to be watching the scenery started their crimes one after another.
The narrator explains it succinctly: the kind-hearted protagonist is incompatible with the family, so he is naturally ostracized and framed.
audience:……
Well, good guy?
In the shot, several villain Adeli are unceremoniously taking goods from the protagonist Adeli's lair.
One or two is fine...
How come seven or eight of them around here are all rushing to this nest to grab it?
That's too much!
The audience began to feel pity for the protagonist Adley.
“…Huh?”
At this moment, the camera turned and froze on the protagonist Adley, who had gone far away to look for the stone.
At this time, it was holding a stone in its mouth. It seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the camp. It happened to witness a little thief peeking into its nest and taking away the stone.
The white-rimmed eyes blinked and it turned around.
Oh no!
Caught in the act!
The audience is gearing up and looking forward to the development.
【Go! Hit it! 】
【Oh oh oh, are you going to be angry? 】
The protagonist Adley staggered back to his nest.
Looking down, I found that my nest was still the same and very simple.
It blinked, turned around and looked for the Adélie penguin it had just seen.
“…Gah!”
The thief was secretly looking back, pretending to enjoy the scenery while taking a look at the victim who was being pulled out of stones by a circle of penguins, but he suddenly saw the owner coming straight to him. He was so scared that he spread his wings and went into combat alert.
However, the poor owner did not scream in anger, fight with it, or even scold it.
On the contrary, the other one held the stone it had just picked up in its mouth. After tilting its head to admire its nest, it quietly piled the stones in its nest.
Then he turned around and left happily.
The thief who was on high alert: ...Eh? ?
no! !
What's going on?!
Extra is coming~ The only little white flower in the bandit’s den~
First, I will write about the penguins I mentioned before. I was originally struggling between the emperor penguin and the Adelie penguin. After comparing the information, I felt that the Adelie penguin was very interesting, so I wrote about it~
After all, this is a side story, and there is not much plot, so the Penguin chapter will end within three chapters ww [If it is the main text, a small main line will be added, but forget it here]
Extra updates will most likely be updated every other day. I had such a good rest these few days that I couldn't help but lie down for a while longer...
