Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 132 132. Stranded Sperm Whale
"So, was the sperm whale saved?"

Tang Qinqin asked hurriedly as soon as he arrived at the scene.

The blue sea, the golden sandy beach, the clear and cloudless sky, all the scenery is very pleasant.

But on the bustling beach, which was originally crowded with people, what came with a wave was not only a pile of messy seaweed, a few small fish and shrimps, but also a stranded sperm whale.

It was about three to four meters long and was lying in a shallow puddle on the beach, breathing hard.

Sperm whales like to live in groups, and most of them move together in large families, foraging, migrating, etc.It was clearly a young whale in its growth stage. It was possible that he and his friends failed to master the speed when they were practicing their hunting skills, so they rushed to the shore.

The people on the shore were startled and watched from a distance, not daring to approach it for a while.

A player happened to witness this situation on the beach and immediately called for help in the game player channel.

Tang Qinqin was not far away, but by the time she swam over, nearly 10 minutes had passed since the whale stranded.

The scorching sunshine and rapidly heating beaches are obviously not friendly to the mysterious elves from the sea. Prolonged exposure to the sun will cause its delicate skin to become chapped and injured.

Led by players and volunteers, some people began to come over to help, continuously pouring water on the whale to cool it down and keep its skin moist.

Someone was digging a hole by hand, trying to dig a passage behind the whale and send it back to the sea.

Everyone is racing against time to return it to the sea where it belongs.

A series of dull and long wailing sounds came from the sea, from far to near. Someone turned around and saw it, and quickly shouted: "Look! It's a group of whales!"

The huge whales surfaced on their backs, and at first glance there were probably dozens of them, large and small.

"Could you be here to find it?" Tang Qinqin heard a person next to him ask.

A deep trench has been dug out on the beach behind the whale. Seawater has been introduced and gradually filled it. Seawater begins to fill under the stranded whale.

"Work harder, comrades, success is just around the corner!" Shan Nai was sweating profusely and waving the shovel in his hand, his face flushed with exhaustion.

More people continued to join in, and the water began to cover the body of the beached whale, and then the head...

Finally, after gaining enough buoyancy, the sperm whale stranded on the beach began to swim slowly. After adapting for a while, it swam its head and tail and swam into the sea, returning to its group.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

People on the beach jumped up excitedly and cheered.

Whales in the sea also jump out of the sea from time to time, beating waves with their bodies or tail fins, or spouting high water jets, and their cries also bring a sense of healing pleasure.

For a while, the atmosphere between people and whales was very harmonious.

"Everything has spirituality. It's true. They are thanking us." An old man in a vest sighed.

"No, animals are also spiritual. They remember all the good things you do to them and the bad things you do to them."

Another old man beside him responded with his hands behind his back.

The clothes on both of them were covered with mud and sand, and even their bare arms, necks and other skins were covered with fine sand particles, which is a testimony to the fact that they were just old and vigorously digging holes.

"From now on, when we have nothing to do, we will come to the beach for a walk. If we encounter this kind of situation, we can take rescue measures as soon as possible. When we are free, we can carry a pony and tie up a fishing pole. Hey, these days are not exciting!"

"Yes, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we are all old... We have been dealing with the sea since we were young. When we are old and can no longer go to the sea, let's do something we can do at our age."

"That's what you said. Our ancestors have always relied on the mountains to rely on the mountains and the sea to rely on the sea."

……

After cleaning up a turtle that was parasitized by barnacles and accounting for almost 2/3 of its entire body, Tang Qinqin planned to study the origin of this overbearing guy.

"Barnacles, commonly known as barnacles and horse teeth, are arthropods with calcareous shells that adhere to seaside rocks, often forming dense colonies.

It is a hermaphrodite. In addition to being commonly attached to the surface of marine animals, they are often seen on coastal piers, bottoms of ships, and submarine cables.Barnacles attached to the hull will greatly reduce sailing speed. "

"Because barnacles are covered in calcareous shells, they were once mistaken for shellfish. Later studies confirmed that they are crustaceans."

"It is said that once it is adsorbed on the surface of the animal's skin, it will not let go, is difficult to clean, and will reproduce more and more. It is a difficult parasite. This is why we sometimes see some whales and turtles wearing armor. The reason why I feel so uncomfortable."

"Speaking of barnacles, people in southern coastal cities are more familiar with the gooseneck barnacle, which is not a serious barnacle. It is said to be a delicacy on the tip of the tongue. Some people also call it the world's top delicacy from hell."

"Its price is said to be around 1500 yuan, and it can be called the Hermes of seafood. Some people go to the beach to collect this kind of seafood and make a living from it."

"It turns out to be a dog-skin plaster in the ocean." Tang Qinqin roughly understood it and summarized it in these four words.

She had heard about and seen turtles and whales attached to barnacles. It was said that sea snakes were also affected. Tang Qinqin felt that goosebumps were about to fall off her skin.

For her, snakes are mysterious and terrifying creatures.

Even the fear it creates in its heart is far greater than that of a shark with its mouth wide open.

……

Regarding the unfinished side mission that had been temporarily put aside - watching a "whale fall", the curtain suddenly opened without anyone being mentally prepared.

After staying in the sea for a long time, Tang Qinqin sometimes felt that he was actually a fish, or at least a "mermaid" with the body and tail of a fish. As he gradually adapted to the underwater environment, he could move more quickly and freely.

On this day, as usual, small animals in need were rescued, and a mournful cry came from the sea again.The very sad-sounding breath made people vaguely feel that something terrible must have happened.

After following the sound, a scene appeared in front of the players - a huge humpback whale with a body length of about ten meters was slowly falling to the bottom of the sea without moving. It was pushed up and down, and heartbreaking screams were made from time to time.

With just one glance, everyone understood what was happening in front of them. This whale had died!
The little whale didn't want to believe this fact, didn't want to leave its mother, and tried its best to save it.

"It has died. It can't be saved." Xiao Qi said.

The huge humpback whale body finally fell to the bottom of the sea and became the cradle of new life.

The two little whales with severed liver intestines were reluctant to leave for a long time, clinging to each other and hovering next to the big whale.

And the big whale is indeed "born in the sea and returns to the sea", leaving his last tenderness to the home where he grew up.

　The plum blossoms are coming.It was windy and rainy all day long.
