Chapter 164 Hunting and Killing Operation
Ah Ying asked curiously, "Is there any treasure inside?"

Tofu curled his lips and said, "It's so small, what kind of treasure can there be, pretending to be a ghost, I want to see what it is." Then he continued to dismantle it, peeling off one layer, and it was still plastic, just like this one after another. After peeling off four layers of plastic, the contents were finally revealed.To be precise, it disappeared as soon as the contents inside were exposed.

The plastic center was impressively covered with brown powder, which was very small, and as soon as it was opened, it disappeared without a trace in the sea breeze. The rest of us didn't feel anything, but Ah Ying and Carp narrowed their eyes in pain.

Since Aying and Carp are crew members, they didn't plan to enter the fight, so they didn't prepare their gas masks. Aying and the two just wore gloves at the moment, and covered their mouth and nose with cloth, but there was still skin on their faces. naked.Bewitched by the powder for a moment, the eyes of both of them were full of tears. Aying shouted in horror: "What is it? Could it be poisonous?"

I said: "Don't talk about it, put your head into the sea water, open your eyes, and let the sea water wash it." The sea water has a special composition that can kill many bacteria. It's so strict, it must not be a good thing.Everyone didn't expect it to be like this, they stared at Li Yu and Ah Ying nervously for a while, and after a while, the two stuck their heads out of the water, panting.

Professor Lin asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

The eyes of the two were only a little bloodshot, probably due to the stimulation of the powder and sea water, and the rest didn't feel anything special. They both shook their heads, as if the powder was not a serious problem.

Tofu immediately took off his gas mask and handed it to Aying, saying: "Sister, you take it with you, I am a man, even if there is any virus in this place, I am more resistant." With a touch of emotion on his face, he pushed back the mask and said, "No need, you put it on quickly, we often walk on the sea, so it should be fine."

Tofu still had to say something, so I said, "Since Ah Ying said so, you can put it on, don't grind it." People have selfish intentions, and this place is very evil according to what Li Yu said, in case something really happened Virus, tofu gave up the mask, didn't he get tricked by himself?The ancients said: People don't only kiss their relatives, and they don't only have sons. Although this idea is good, there are very few people who actually do it.

Tofu is my brother who has been with me for more than ten years. Although Ah Ying is a good girl, I have my own plans for which is more important between the two.

Tofu is a stupid and kind person. Without saying a word, he pushed the gas mask over and asked Ah Ying to put it on. Ah Ying was moved with tears in his eyes and said, "Dou, Brother Dou, you are so kind to me." Finally took it The mask is worn on the face.

Li Yu sighed and said, "Women are good, why didn't anyone give me a mask." What he said was half serious and half joking.

I didn't say a word, and reached out to take off the gas mask on my face. Li Yu was startled, and then said joyfully, "Brother Chen is benevolent and righteous, and I, Li Yu, admire him." After speaking, I reached out to take the mask.I glanced at him, pressed the mask hard on Tofu's face, and said, "Put it on."

Tofu looked moved and said, "Old Chen, good brother, I really don't want to accept this mask, but when I was three years old and had a physical examination, the doctor said that my immunity was low and I was prone to get sick, so in order not to cause you trouble in the future , I was disrespectful, and put it on first." I kicked him, telling him not to get cheap and act good, remember the three-year-old thing, and tell nonsense with his eyes open.

In the whole team, only me and Carp were left without masks.This land of wrecked ships is privately called a "boat burial ground" by seagoers. It's dark now, and this name makes people feel even more panicked. field.We only slept in advance for one night, and we didn't want to cause troubles, so we only checked the surroundings to make sure that there would be no more ghost octopuses, and then gathered in one place to prepare for sleep.

Unexpectedly, the sleeping position has not been settled yet, so they heard the sound of a whale salamander suddenly in the sea. Everyone is very sensitive to the sound of whales in the past two days, probably because of Xiao Hei, so when they heard this sound, they all sat up , Several flashlights were turned on at the same time, shining towards the sea.This photo was incredible, it was Xiao Hei, a humpback whale.It doesn't go to sleep, why is it howling in the middle of the night?
Taking a closer look, there is a bigger thing in front of the humpback whale Xiao Hei's huge body. The color is the same, the head is round and big, it is a killer whale, and it is also called 'killer whale'.

Killer whales live in groups and mainly feed on small and medium-sized whales or sharks. Their big mouths are covered with fangs. They are veritable kings of the sea, and humpback whales are their favorite food.This thing has a tiger head and brain, and is as black as ink. From the perspective of human aesthetics, it is more beautiful than the humpback whale Xiaohei.But people are emotional animals, no matter how beautiful they are, it’s useless. Only then did everyone know that Xiao Hei may not be going to sleep at all. It is said that whales can use sound waves to sense natural enemies and food through sound waves. Xiao Hei probably noticed it before. Killer whales approached, so they left us and disappeared.

There were three killer whales besieging Xiao Hei, which belonged to a relatively small group of killer whales.Everyone has long regarded the humpback whale as a partner, and now seeing that it is in trouble, they all took out their weapons.The four robots immediately raised their submachine guns, and when they were about to rescue them, Professor Lin suddenly frowned and said, "Wait a little longer, if it can escape by itself, we can't hurt the killer whale."

I looked at the situation in the sea, and the three killer whales were obviously old partners, forming a triangle to surround Xiao Hei, swimming not too close or far away, as if they would launch an attack at any time.

Professor Lin's words immediately angered Tofu, who was outspoken. He said, "Oh, Professor, don't even think about protecting endangered animals at this time. Our little friends are about to be treated as midnight snacks by them."

Gu Wenmin said slowly: "Don't worry, Xiao Dou, since the professor said that, he must have his intentions." As she spoke, she turned her face to Professor Lin, obviously asking about his intentions.But I heard Professor Lin say: "The law of survival in nature is the law of the jungle. The three killer whales are just hunting normally, looking for food to survive. We have no reason to interfere. Humans cannot interfere with their world with subjective thoughts."

Tofu couldn't understand, and said: "What subjective thought, I only know that it has been with us for two days and has helped us a lot. When the USO burned down, if it hadn't been for us, we might not know where to float now."

Professor Lin shook his head and said, "If you like chicken, but Xiao Chen likes chicken, and kills you to protect the chicken, do you feel wronged?"

I understand what Professor Lin means, but listening to his metaphor, I don't think it's right. Why do I like chicken?

The tofu came back to life, and there was no reason to refute it for a while.Then I heard Professor Lin say again: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. If we kill the three humpback whales in order to save them, then there is something wrong with our subjective thinking. Of course, Xiao Hei is our partner, so we must save them, but I hope, don't rush to interfere, wait and see for a while, if it can't get out of trouble by itself, I have nothing to say."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they couldn't see each other's expressions, they must have the same mood.

After all, he is a professor-level figure, and his attitude towards problems is straightforward. We have no way to refute him. Although we are a little dissatisfied with his stubbornness, we have to admire this state.I touched my nose and said, "Then wait and see for a while." Everyone turned their eyes to the sea again.Killer whales are natural enemies of humpback whales. Although they are about the same size, killer whales rely on group attacks and sharp teeth to make it difficult for sharks and humpback whales to teach. Can Xiao Hei escape by himself?

Confrontation is impossible, and the only way for the humpback whale is to escape.

But the humpback whale was making a sound, its huge body was moving slowly in the sea water, and the three killer whales were not in a hurry to pounce on it, as if they were waiting for something.At this moment, Xiao Hei's body suddenly sank and suddenly disappeared on the surface of the sea. Almost at the same time, the three killer whales also sank violently, and we heard the long sound of whale salamanders underwater. We could only see A few huge black shadows seemed to be chasing after them, getting farther and farther away, until they were nowhere to be seen.

After a while, their figures suddenly appeared again. It seemed that the escape of the humpback whale Xiaohei had failed. It surfaced again, and the sound was somewhat similar to the frequency when it fell into the man-eating spiral.Gu Wenmin said worriedly: "It seems to be calling for help, should we take action?" As soon as the words fell, one of the three humpback whales suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Xiao Hei.

Jumping up and grabbing food is a unique skill of the killer whale, which is due to its moderate size and strong muscles. This pounce, Xiao Hei felt that it was not good, and immediately dived down. Don’t look at the size of the whale, the fact is It was still flexible in the water, but after diving, it quickly moved to the right, away from the mouth of the killer whale.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that the next incident left us stunned before the release was over.The killer whale that was shot in the air, after entering the water, used its big head to hit the middle part of the humpback whale suddenly. whale.

This is a deliberate hunt!

I estimate that this method is not the first time these killer whales have used it. Sometimes the intelligence of these animals that humans look down upon is really amazing.We judge the stupidity of animals by subjective thinking, or these animals are also thinking: Why do stupid humans destroy their homes step by step?
Of course, now is not the time to discuss man and nature. Seeing Xiao Hei suffering, the crowd could no longer hold on. The four robots shot immediately, but they probably remembered what Professor Lin said before and did not shoot the killer whale directly. Instead, the bullet was shot on the side of the killer whale to scare it.This method really attracted the attention of the killer whales. They probably didn't hear the gunshots, and immediately dodged vigilantly, and restored the triangle encirclement.
