Whether to hide it or not, human life is crucial.
The boat headed directly to the coastal fishing spot. On the way, the sea police briefed Chen Ying about the situation.
"Here’s what happened: the boat took people out for night fishing, and during the trip, two fishing tourists got into an argunt. They actually started fighting on the boat. The boat didn’t capsize, but the two fighting and another fisherman got involved, and the three of them fell into the sea.
The fishing boat owner and his son imdiately jumped in to rescue them and managed to save one, but the other two were nowhere to be found."
"How long was it between the fall and the rescue? How co they disappeared so quickly? Were they wearing life jackets?"
"They were. Other fishing tourists also testified that everyone had them on. After the owner and his son jumped in, they first reached the fisherman who was involved. With the help of others, they pulled him back on the boat. The owner’s son went down again to search but couldn’t see anything due to poor visibility."
There are quite a few people fishing at night in this area, so when sothing happens, the nearby owners would co over to help look for people.
While they were talking, a voice ca over the radio, saying that another person was found, on the water surface to the southwest.
That person probably knew a bit of swimming skills, spread-eagled on the water with a life jacket, but when rescued, was slightly unconscious.
"We detected a group of whales twenty nautical miles away from the accident site..."
To be honest, the sea police officer picking up Chen Ying felt like his superior might have a few screws loose.
Shouldn’t this be for a rescue team? What’s the point of bringing a veterinarian? Do they really think he’s the reincarnation of the Sea Dragon King? They might as well pray directly to God and see if the Goddess of the Sea will offer so help.
But complaints aside, they still took Chen Ying to the location of the whale pod.
Once they arrived, everyone looked at each other, unsure of how to proceed with the next step.
"Should I call them? What should I call them? Whaley, baby, fishy?"
Good question!
In the end, it was the killer whale baby that solved the issue.
Unable to sleep and bored, it swam around and found an interesting toy in the water!
The baby is a good baby, so it imitated its older siblings, biting the toy and surfacing.
Next, just as it was about to show off its new toy to the two-legged beast, it seed to catch the scent of them.
No need to delve into whether whales can sll human scent; with Great Virtue appearing, anything more mystical seems normal.
Anyway, the killer whale baby charged right toward Chen Ying.
It flashed the object in its mouth to Chen Ying, its smug little deanor tempting Chen Ying to confiscate it once more.
Ah! Are you a devil?
Seeing its newly found toy being taken away by the two-legged beast again, the whale baby was not happy, starting to sulk, roll, and leap like a fish in its death throes.
Just that this fish was a bit larger.
The toy that Chen Ying took was a Long Tridacna, quite oversized. Normal Long Tridacna asures around 40 centiters, while a giant one can reach a ter in length, but this Tridacna was over 60 centiters, and its color was particularly vibrant.
Chen Ying took one look and handed it to the sea police officer to hold, then he leaned down to communicate with the killer whale baby about the rescue mission.
Oh, there are two-legged beasts in the water? Great, it likes playing hide and seek with them, it definitely can find them!
The little killer whale charged towards the accident site, with two adult killer whales silently following.
"Let’s go, we should head over and see if we can help a bit."
As they approached the accident location, from afar, they could see the glaring lights, rescue boats had arrived, and a patrol boat from the fisheries departnt was also stopped to help.
Xiao Fang from their boat reported the situation to the leadership. After learning that three killer whales were also helping in the search, there was an eerie silence on the channel for a mont.
Half an hour later, another rescue boat arrived, along with specialized search and rescue divers and equipnt.
Chen Ying found it strange; with so many people and tily rescue efforts initially, how could they not find the person?
Non-rescue personnel’s best course of action is not to create more trouble.
This is the Qiao family’s territory, but the Qiao family is involved in comrcial real estate and cultural tourism, unlike the Dao family, they don’t have their own rescue team.
Moreover, the local tourism city built by the sea already has sufficient official rescue forces, there’s no need for private capital involvent.
Such philanthropic rescue teams exist to fill gaps in official rescue efforts, not involving private capital control. The authorities trust them more.
The first batch of sea rescuers returned to the boat for a rest.
Though it seems like just swimming a few laps and looking for soone, it actually consus a lot of energy. The underwater visibility is poor, and the search range is quite narrow. They must cooperate closely to avoid missing any possible hidden human spots.
As Chen Ying and the others grew increasingly anxious, sothing seed to be tapping their boat.
Chen Ying instinctively looked down and switched sides, only to find a turtle gazing at it adorably.
Once sure Chen Ying noticed it, the turtle turned around and swam outward, turning back to look at Chen Ying after a few ters.
"Xiao Fang, let’s go. This turtle seems to want to lead us sowhere."
Xiao Fang froze, instinctively reported first. Upon hearing the leader’s instructions to follow Chen Ying’s arrangents, he heard no more words, only a seemingly noisy background sound.
Chen Ying shone a light on the turtle and instructed Xiao Fang to steer the boat to follow.
