Chapter 158 Whale

Gu Wenmin was really angry, but her expression had calmed down, and she couldn't see the previous anger. Her unobtrusive posture made me feel even more guilty. She is gentle, considerate and understanding, but when she gets angry, it turns out that the wind is about to come.I still follow her, the future daughter-in-law can't provoke her, now it's not popular for men to kneel on the washboard, now they all kneel on the washboard, for the rest of my life, I have to coax her.

Now that she and the four robots have plans to save people, I naturally can't stay out of the matter, so I can only show my loyalty immediately and say: "I didn't mean not to save people, I just offered an opinion. Since you have already made a decision , of course we can’t fall behind, everyone advances and retreats together, and saves people together, even if something happens, it will be considered as a heroic sacrifice, right?”

Gu Wenmin's dark eyes gave me a lukewarm look, with a stiff expression, but she didn't practice well enough, and I caught the faint smile at the corner of her mouth. I breathed a sigh of relief, and said in my heart: Daughter-in-law is not a grudge, but if she coaxes her once, she will have to fight with her life. I am afraid that the days to come will be difficult.

Seeing me, Tofu immediately disarmed and surrendered. He immediately changed his color and lowered his voice and said, "Hey, you pervert. You usually have a cold face like I owe you money. How can you be eloquent when you meet a woman? Is it important for brothers or women?"

I said, "Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes."

Tofu said: "Since brothers are more important, why do you always snatch my free ham sausage when eating instant noodles!"

I said, "Who says brothers are important? Of course women are important."

"Aren't siblings better than clothes?"

"You can still go out on the street with broken limbs, but do you dare to go out on the street without clothes?" Tofu choked up suddenly, staring and unable to say a word.I ignored him. I don't want to communicate with this kind of person who even wants to hold grudges for stealing his ham sausage.Everyone unanimously decided to save people, so they discussed a countermeasure to enter the cannibal's interior.

Because the cannibals are too dense, it is impossible for our raft to row in, but Professor Lin is worthy of his maturity. He had already come up with an idea during the dispute between us.We have three rafts in total. Although they are large in size, they are relatively thin and not heavy. We can use the method of building bridges to move forward.

That is to say, stand on the raft, drag the raft behind it to the front, and then move the person to the wooden board in front, and walk alternately in this way, coupled with the buoyancy of the water, it is not difficult to drag the raft, at best it is slower than our rowing , but the speed will not delay too much.That strange voice that sounded like a human screaming sometimes sounded and sometimes stopped, but it all reminded us that the person was still alive.

Although I had concerns before, since I decided to save people, I had to go all out. Years of entrepreneurial experience told me that people who are half-hearted and timid will eventually be eliminated.

Now that you have made up your mind, you can only go to the end with the awareness of sacrificing your life.

Soon, our raft was manually moved into the man-eating algae. Looking back, there was a blue ocean not far away, but looking forward, it was blood red.Everyone listened to the sound with their ears upright. The sound seemed to come from the northwest.In the process of marching, the metal object that he saw before quickly narrowed the distance. Professor Lin wanted to know what was killed, so he paused for a while, and used the 'iron pusher' used for digging mushrooms to move the Something hooked up.

The so-called iron pusher is a tool for dealing with natural stones. It is mainly aimed at some mechanisms that are locked from the inside of the underground palace.

Soon the thing was hooked over, and when they got closer to have a look, everyone was shocked, what kind of metal was it, it was clearly a white skull!Because this thing was blocked by the cannibal, it didn't sink, and there was no flesh and blood on it. Under the sunlight, it reflected light, just like some kind of metal block.

Seeing this human bone, everyone became nervous. It seemed that this person was eaten by man-eating spirulina. What would be his identity?crew?tourist?pilot?We don't know these things. We can only be more careful when we are in this man-eating plant.Just when everyone was feeling heavy, I suddenly found that just above the cannibal not far to our left, there were still some things scattered, like a fly on the red flesh, which caught my attention all of a sudden. .

It seemed to be floating clothes, and it seemed to be a package.

I said to the four robots manipulating the raft: "Go to that direction first, there seems to be something there." Time was running out, and the four of them were unambiguous, and their subordinates moved quickly, and we moved to the side of the thing in a short time.But it was a pair of trousers, soaked in the sea and covered with cannibals.The trousers were heavy, as if they contained something.

Gu Wenmin squatted down, pulled the opening of her trousers to look in, and said in surprise, "It's a mobile phone." Then she took out the mobile phone, besides the mobile phone, there was also a small phone book.Nowadays, most people store their numbers in their mobile phone address book, but some business people still like to use the phone book, because the mobile phone address book is not very safe. Once the mobile phone is lost, the contents in it are likely to leak, and the loss caused Estimate.

I used to use the phone book myself, and there are some disreputable numbers. I never write them down on my mobile phone, they are all written in the phone book.

The phone was dripping with water, and when I pressed it, there was no response.Gu Wenmin shook the water in the phone book a few more times, and said, "Perhaps we can find out who the victims were from this communication." She opened the phone book while talking, and the paper in it It has been soaked, and you need to be very careful when flipping it. Except for the name that can be vaguely guessed, the phone number is blurred.

At this moment, Miss Gu suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "I see." It seemed that she had discovered something.

Immediately afterwards, she handed the phone book to Professor Lin, pointed to one of them, and said, "Look." In the past, she usually told me about this kind of thing first, and she is probably still angry with me now.

Tofu was very curious, and immediately leaned over. After only one glance, his expression suddenly changed, hissed and took a breath, and said, "So that's how it is."

I was a little puzzled, and said, "What are you talking about?" Professor Lin spread out the phone book for everyone to see, and I was stunned after just looking at it, because there was Tang ** in the blurry writing on it. name, followed by a string of pasted phone numbers.

Everything goes without saying.

At that time, after Mr. Tang and his party were hijacked by pirates on board, there might be some people who were thrown into the sea by pirates because they were useless or worthless. Of course, there may be other reasons, so we have nothing to do. Got it.These people who were thrown into the sea drifted along the ocean currents, struggling to survive, but finally encountered cannibals, and they ended up like this.

Tofu said: "It seems that Mrs. Tang and her daughter brought us here because they wanted us to save her relatives."

I thought of the human-like and animal-like voice just now, and always felt something was wrong.There were only a few people who were thrown into the sea, even if they all ended up here, it would be impossible to feed the whole cannibal.These cannibals must have eaten something.If there was a survivor, why wasn't he eaten?

I couldn't think of a reason for these questions for a while, everyone could only put it down for the time being, and continued to move towards the original direction. As the distance got closer, the voice became clearer and clearer, until we got closer, we They all noticed something was wrong.Before, due to the distance, the voice sounded vague and specious, like a human and a beast.

We were preconceived at the time, thinking that someone was in distress, but now we are very close to the voice, but the tone of the voice remains unchanged, obviously it is not a human voice.

Professor Lin pricked up his ears to distinguish carefully, and speculated: "It's definitely not a human, we made a mistake before. This sound seems to be the sound of some kind of whale." I have never heard the sound of a whale, but it is said that whales rarely make sounds , A long time ago, biologists believed that whales were dumb animals.But with the in-depth research and dissection later, it was discovered that whales have vocal bones, which can actually make sounds.

It is said that the sound of cetaceans is not particularly loud, but it can travel a long distance, and it is a bit like the sound of dolphins.When Professor Lin said this, I really think that the voice is a bit like a dolphin, but it is different from the sharp voice of a dolphin. The voice we hear now is relatively low. Although it is not loud, it penetrates into our ears very clearly.

I suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder these cannibals turned red after eating one by one, they must have trapped a whale."

Ah Ying shuddered and said, "This is terrible."

The carp said: "I guess they have more than one trapped, otherwise we would not be able to hear the sound now."

I looked forward, and the cannibal at the end was shaking quite violently, as if something was struggling inside, and the sound we heard before happened to come from there.Professor Lin said: "The whale is a relatively rare marine mammal. Since we have encountered it, we can't do nothing. I think it must be trapped. Let's find a way to get it out."

I am not surprised that Professor Lin will make such a decision.Whales are creatures that have existed since the dinosaur era. They evolved from land. Although they live in the sea, they are not fish. In recent years, the destruction of the marine environment and human hunting have made this ancient living fossil The number has reached a precarious situation.

With Professor Lin's personality, he would never let a whale be trapped to death. It is estimated that even if he himself died, he would not be willing to let that whale die.
