Two speedboats were sailing on the sea one after the other. A bearded man was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, smoking. He put his legs on the side of the boat and let the water splashing from the bow fall on his feet. He was enjoying it.
The driver was a middle-aged white woman with a big waist. She said discontentedly, "Damn it, where did that China guy go? Why haven't we found the signal after searching for so long? "
The bearded man said lazily, "Don't worry, he can't run away from King Island. I bet he's not far from us. Let's keep looking."
The speedboat behind caught up, and a middle-aged man who looked like the bearded man shouted, "Chris, is there still no response from the signal detector? We've already searched around the island! "
Chris said, "Don't worry, keep looking. We'll go out. After all, this is a civilian tracker. It's useless if we go too far."
The woman driving the boat said, "Could it be that the China guy found the tracker? He may have thrown it away. What should we do? "
Chris said confidently, "Impossible. Who would take apart the outboard to see what's inside? I put the tracker inside. It won't be found. "
The speedboat behind approached, and the middle-aged man on it said, "Even if he didn't find it this time, he'll realize it next time, right? We can always find him. He must suspect something. "
"Suspect that we used a tracker?" Chris asked. "No, no, no, this is not a spy movie. Who would guess that?"
"As long as he's not stupid, he'll guess something," the middle-aged man insisted.
Chris laughed and said, "But what if he's so stupid? Listen to me, man, these yellow people, especially Asians, are stupid, just like the Maori in New Zealand. "
"Yellow people are really stupid. Maori are yellow people," the middle-aged woman driving the boat agreed.
The middle-aged man was still confused. "But we haven't found them. Don't you have any doubts?"
"You're too suspicious, Ralph. We just haven't found them yet," Chris said casually.
The middle-aged man said, "Well, let's keep looking for them. This time, we'd better negotiate with him and see if we can cooperate."
"Why would he cooperate with us? Who would cooperate with others? "The middle-aged woman immediately refuted his suggestion.
Ralph snorted and said, "Why do you have to follow them? We'll go to the place where we found them yesterday. "
"Didn't you already go down to the sea yesterday? There aren't many black gold abalone there. We have to chase after them," Clayson said.
Ralph said, "It's also possible that there are a lot of black gold abalone there, but we can't find them. That China guy might have some unique means."
Hearing this, Chris sat up and asked, "You mean, what kind of equipment did he use?"
"It's also possible that he's from the United States. Maybe they invented some kind of small instrument to search for some kind of creature underwater."
"Then we'll have to keep an eye on him. If that's the case, it'll be interesting. We'll catch him and make him work for us. Otherwise, we'll call the police and get rid of them!" Chris said expectantly.
The two speedboats expanded their search range and circled the island again.
When they turned to the southwest corner of King Island, a flashing red dot suddenly appeared on the screen of Chris's speedboat, but the red dot only appeared for a short second and then disappeared.
Seeing this, Chris and the woman driving the boat became excited. They looked at each other and Chris said, "Ha, found him. He can't get away!"
The two speedboats slowed down, and the middle-aged man caught up and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Chris said, "Yes, their boat must be around. I saw the detector just now. Let's look for it here."
Their boat continued to sail southwest, and the red dot appeared again.
Seeing this, Chris became excited. He looked around and saw a speedboat docked at the edge of the distant coast.
"It's there. How did this bastard dock? Go and see how he's doing, "Chris ordered with a wave of his hand.
The middle-aged woman was about to speed up when Ralph caught up and stopped them. He frowned and said, "This isn't right, Chris. It shouldn't be here."
"Why?" Chris asked.
Ralph said, "This is the Maui dolphin conservation area. Look, there is a cordon made of drifting balls in the water ahead!"
The Maui dolphin was an endangered subspecies that was very precious and rare.
They were the smallest dolphin species in the world. Even if they were adults, their body length was at most 1.7 meters. They were the smallest dolphin in the world and were known as the "hobbit of the sea."
Due to the heavy nylon fishing method of humans, a large number of these dolphins had been killed, and the existing population had plummeted. According to statistics, the number of adult Maui dolphins was only 55, and there were less than 20 female Maui dolphins in the breeding period.
This dolphin only existed in the southern hemisphere, mostly in the shallow waters around New Zealand, but in recent years, it had also been found in the shallow waters at the southwest end of King Island.
For this reason, the Australian Department of Marine Affairs and the Department of Fishing and Hunting had specially set up a conservation area here to protect a few Maui dolphins that occasionally appeared.
Not only that, but Australia and the New Zealand Government's Cetacean Scientific Committee held an annual meeting on the protection of the Maui dolphin every year.
After the most recent meeting, they jointly issued a report expressing "extreme concern" about the "serious endangerment" of the Maui dolphin.
The report asked the Australian and New Zealand governments to immediately implement a fishing ban in the Maui dolphin conservation area, and to pay attention to the potential threat of human activities such as seabed mining and seismic observation to the Maui dolphin.
In addition, they also asked tourists, fishermen, and other non-government personnel not to enter the conservation area and to do their best to protect the dolphin.
In fact, from the intensity of Australia's protection of black gold abalone, it could be seen how much effort they were putting into protecting the Maui dolphin. There were still a lot of black gold abalones, large and small, tens of thousands of them.
What about the Maui dolphin? There might be less than five in all of Australia!
Hearing Ralph's words, Chris came to his senses. He stood on the speedboat and scanned the surrounding environment. He frowned and muttered, "What bad luck. It's really here. It's really the Maui dolphin conservation area."
Ralph said, "We can't enter the conservation area. If that China guy is inside, we can call the police. The Department of Fishing and Hunting and the police will send them to jail."
At this point, he laughed gloatingly.
Chris's brain worked quickly, and then he slowly shook his head. "No, no, we won't call the police. What did I say just now? We have something on him. Now, we have something on him! "
