Just then, Connoris had already seen the giant beast clearly.
Killer whale! It was a killer whale.
But how could a killer whale be so big?
This wasn't a killer whale at all. It was a super big monster.
The biggest creature known to humans was the blue whale.
The largest recorded blue whale was 35 meters long and weighed 250 tons.
But compared to this killer whale, it was like the difference between Guo Xiaosi and Yao Ming.
Too big! It was really too big.
If one did not observe it closely, they would not be able to imagine how big this killer whale was.
"What is that?" Stan asked blankly.
"Chase it, chase it!!" Connoris seemed to be possessed.
"Connoris … This … This is too dangerous … We still don't know if it's a killer whale or not."
"Listen to me and chase it. As long as we take a picture of this super monster, do we still need to worry about research funding?"
"Alright … But our submarine might not be able to catch up to it."
"Full speed ahead. Full power."
"Connoris, it's better to be careful. Our submarine has been used for 20 years."
"No problem. Chase it."
The pilot, Stan, had no choice but to listen to Connoris's orders.
"Connoris, where are you going?" The voice of their leader, Professor Ruffalo, came from the communicator again.
"Professor Ruffalo, we're tracking that killer whale, that super monster."
"What? You said that it's a killer whale? "
"Yes, I saw it. A killer whale, a super killer whale!"
"Impossible … Killer whales can't be that big."
"I saw it. Stan saw it too. We're going to track that killer whale now."
After that, the speed of the submarine suddenly slowed down.
"What's going on? Why did it slow down? "
"Oh no … The engine is off." Stan tried to restart the engine, but it failed.
Their research submarine had been in service for too long. It had already been 20 years.
But because of the research funding, they had no money to replace it.
He could only repair the submarine continuously, and it took him twenty years to do so.
"The water pressure system seems to have stopped working. We're sinking," Stan said.
"Oh no, this area is at least 300 meters deep. If we sink, we won't even be able to save us."
"Let me try and see if I can restart the water pressure system." Stan tried and failed again. "Damn it … why did it break down at this time?"
As the submarine continued to sink, the two of them could only put on their diving suits and plan to dive out.
He had to leave the submarine as soon as possible while the water was not too deep.
"Connoris, when you enter the sea later, take a deep breath first. It's already very deep here, you can't open your mouth."
"Alright, I got it." Connoris nodded.
"I'll go out first, you follow me."
Stan went out from the hatch first. The huge water pressure forced him to swim upstream.
Because he didn't have any diving equipment and was only wearing a diving suit, he couldn't hesitate at all.
Connoris got out of the hatch too, but the moment she entered the sea, the huge water pressure made her body lose its momentum.
Rumble, rumble —
Connoris opened her mouth subconsciously, and seawater poured into her mouth in an instant. Her body was sinking rapidly too.
Just as she was losing consciousness, a black shadow shrouded her from below.
Immediately after, Connoris felt her body coming into contact with a solid and huge shell, and the water pressure kept decreasing.
"It's that thing?!"
Connoris's face was full of shock, and it soon surpassed Stan's.
Stan was also shocked by the black shadow that suddenly caught up from below.
Then he saw that Connoris was on the back of the huge beast.
Connoris finally rushed out of the water, but the huge beast had already left.
Even on the surface of the water, it only revealed a little bit.
Stan also surfaced and looked at Connoris. "Connoris, are you alright?"
"Cough, cough … I'm fine … Where's that big guy?"
"I saw it return to the depths of the sea again."
"I want to find it, I have to find it."
"Connoris, you know that it might not be a good thing for it if we continue to search for it," Stan said.
"Do you think I'll hurt it?"
"No, we're both members of the marine animal protection organization," Stan said. "Of course I believe that you won't hurt it, but if the news gets out, do you know what will happen to those whaling ships?"
He was a more rational person, so he thought more clearly.
"How much would such a huge beast be worth to whaling ships?"
Whaling ships nowadays didn't just hunt for whale meat. Many whaling ships hunted all kinds of whales and dolphins to make them into specimens.
A killer whale specimen could be sold for three to four hundred thousand dollars.
That was much more valuable than just selling whale meat.
But if it was such a super huge beast …
Maybe there was only one of it in the ocean, then the price could be ten times, twenty times, or even a hundred times.
Almost no whaling ship would miss such a huge profit.
Connoris bit her lower lip. "I … I just want to say thank you to it."
Hearing Stan's words, Connoris also understood this.
They were a marine animal research team. Apart from tracking marine animals, they also conducted research.
Sometimes, they also had to "fight" with some whaling ships.
The research ship had already discovered the two of them. It approached and pulled them onto the ship.
…
The ocean! The boundless ocean.
For most of their family members, this was something they'd never felt before.
Even Walter, Black-Ma, and White-Ma often went to Angel Beach to play.
But it was their first time actually going out to sea.
Walter excitedly ran along the edge of the yacht, from the bow to the stern, and then from the bottom to the top.
When Gerlyn was in San Francisco, she'd gone out to sea with Chen Zhao once.
She'd also gone out to sea for Steven's movie celebration party.
But it was at night and she'd been sleeping in the cabin.
She also liked to go out to sea. In Chen Zhao's arms, she pointed excitedly to the left and right.
Chen Zhao put a sunhat on her head. He didn't want Gerlyn to get tanned.
It was better to make her fair and pretty.
"Chen, come quickly. I caught a fish, but I can't pull it up. Come quickly."
Chen Zhao saw that Fali was pulling on the fishing rod. It was already bent into a full moon.
