The beach was brightly lit at night, and the clouds were layered with varying shades of gray and dark blue.
The two walked to the beach, where the bright lighting equipment set up in the middle was blinding. A crowd had already gathered around them, and security was dispersing the onlookers.
Upon seeing Li Hongxuan, the person in charge invited the two of them over.
The onlookers were asked to move to a distance, and the view on the shore suddenly came into view.
Hua Changle gasped.
A whale, a huge Beixun whale.
Like a blue-grey hill, it collapsed onto the beach.
The Beixun whale is a type of blue whale.
Having mutated due to the influence of natural disaster energy, they no longer belong entirely to the category of ordinary animals.
However, due to the varying degrees of mutation, only 60% of the Beixun whales actually developed supernatural abilities.
Therefore, the Beixun whale has not yet been clearly defined as either a different species or a common animal.
The northern scaly whale resembles the blue whale in appearance. In an era of frequent natural disasters involving giant creatures, adults typically reach a length of 25-30 meters. It has a slender body and flippers that are about 3 meters long.
Their diet is similar to that of blue whales, consisting of crustaceans and small fish.
They are gentle in nature, usually stay away from land, and will not actively engage in aggressive behavior towards humans.
Its most striking feature is the dreamy blue and white pattern on its body.
Due to the mutation, strange patterns, both chaotic and orderly, appeared on its gray-blue belly and bluish-gray back.
Like a tattoo etched into the skin, or a mysterious incantation bestowed by the universe.
Because of its fantastical markings, many inhabitants of Central China regard the Northern Whale as a character from ancient Chinese mythology.
—Kun.
"In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is."
Therefore, the Beixun whale is warmly loved by the people of China.
Hua Changle circled the Beixun whale, her heart pounding in her chest.
The Beixun whale in front of us is only about 20 meters long and is not yet an adult.
His body was covered in wounds, clearly caused by human hands.
Even more shockingly, one of its fins had been mostly severed by a sharp weapon, almost breaking off completely.
The large creature lay sprawled on the shore, its blood staining the seawater red, its life force barely showing any signs of life.
The rescue team contacted by the person in charge has arrived.
Rescue workers rushed forward and carried out rescue operations in a race against time and in an orderly manner.
Several medical staff examined the small wounds on its body, and two doctors came forward to treat its fins.
Using equipment, they lifted the severed fin. The two quickly poured regeneration medicine onto the wound and then used the fin, which resembled a giant parasol, to stabilize the injured fin.
It was confirmed that the fins would not break again due to normal movement while the regeneration agent was in effect.
Someone is using water jets to maintain the basic vital signs of the Beixun whale.
Someone is placing a miniature life detector on this Beixun whale.
Others are taking photos to document the whale's wounds for later investigation.
Once the basic treatment was completed, they brought over specialized large-scale equipment to transfer the whale back to the ocean.
The skeletons and internal organs of the Beixun whales that have come ashore are under constant high pressure, and time is of the essence.
Hua Changle observed the doctor's actions the whole time.
She turned her head casually and met a huge whale eye.
His grey-blue eyes, like the color of the deep sea, conveyed both the compassion of embracing the ocean and the sorrow of enduring suffering.
Hua Changle felt a tremor in her heart. The vines seemed to sense the loss of a huge life force and slipped out on their own.
After thinking for a moment and making sure no one was paying attention to her movements, she gently stroked the skin of the Northern Whale with dark green vines that clung to the ground.
Drawing life force from all things on earth, mixed with Hua Changle's own pure alien energy, it is like a clear spring in the desert, directly irrigating the parched soul of the Beixun whale.
The alien energy alleviated the pain caused by its enormous self-weight.
Hua Changle noticed a subtle reaction in that eye.
She smiled, boldly reached out, and gently stroked the whale, though her strength was negligible.
When the equipment was brought over and they were ready to move the whale, Hua Changle put away the vines and retreated to the back.
During the movement, it was inevitable that the wounds on its body would be aggravated. Although it was not in pain, Hua Changle still couldn't bear to look away.
She glanced casually at the sea.
Huh?
A silvery-blue light flashed by, like a streak of light in the night.
It looks like... a fish tail?
No... it's a person?
Hua Changle stared blankly at that spot, but there was nothing there.
"What's wrong?" Li Hongxuan asked when he saw her staring into the distance, lost in thought.
Hua Changle blinked her big eyes, her tone tinged with surprise:
"I think I... saw a mermaid..."
It is important to know that after the natural disaster, the creatures that once existed only in fictional legends—"mermaids"—have now appeared in real life.
They are intelligent species, just like humans.
However, its appearance differs somewhat from the image depicted in human stories.
They are indeed human-bodied with fish tails, but their skin is a light grayish-blue, their skeletons are broad, their bones are slender, and their joints are well-developed. Their upper bodies alone are excessively long and slender, resembling those of humans.
The fish tail of its lower body is not weak; its scales are thick and can stand up, making it perfectly usable as a weapon.
From head to tail, adult females are 2-3 meters long, while males are 3-4 meters long.
They are neither "mermaids" nor "merfolk"; they call themselves "sea people".
Intelligent species in the sea, masters of the ocean.
However, so far, there have been various discussions about them.
—Are the "sea creatures" ancient beings on this planet, or alien beings?
