Downstairs, Famous was still surrounded by fans and customers who had heard the news. Everyone wanted to take photos with it before the movie was released, because they felt that there would not be many opportunities to take photos with it in the future when it became a big star.
Zhang Zian picked up the battery that was charging in the corner, opened the carriage, and connected it to the motor to confirm that the battery was charged to 100%.
Wang Qian noticed his movements and knew that he was going to take a boat out to sea again. Otherwise, he would not have brought the battery. He walked over and asked, "Master, are you going whale watching again?"
Jiang Feifei, who was next door, had also heard the news that the movie was about to be released. Although she was not interested in movies, her classmates knew that she was working here, and they all asked her to find out about the latest news. There were not many customers at the aquarium, anyway, so she also came to the pet shop.
"Store Manager, when are you going to take me to whale watching? I've already bought my life jacket … "she asked expectantly.
"Well … It should be soon." Zhang Zian smiled. "Don't worry. Wait for the right time. Everyone will have a share."
Jiang Feifei heard that he had loosened up and was instantly overjoyed.
Before, he had been very tight-lipped because there was a moody giant whale at sea, but as long as 52 Hertz's matter could be solved smoothly, it would no longer be a threat to whale watchers, and whale watching at sea would be much safer.
He said a few more words, turned around, got in the car, and headed for the beach.
Not long after, he stopped at his usual spot by the beach and dragged the assault boat out of the carriage.
Due to the continuous spring rain that had lasted for two or three days, the temperature was a little low today. The sea level seemed to have risen a little higher than usual, and the foaming waves rushed onto the beach and hit the reef.
Zhang Zian inflated the assault boat while repeatedly thinking about the steps of today's operation. It would be fine if 52 Hertz understood Sihwa's song, but what if it did not? What if it understood but did not respond?
He thought about different ways to deal with different situations in order to be relatively safe. But the sea was vast, and there was no perfect plan. At the very least, he had to make sure that he returned safely.
The assault boat was filled with air. He simply checked to see if there were any air leaks, then pushed the boat into the sea, started the motor, and drove into the sea.
Seeing that it was similar to the last time, he turned off the motor, inserted the memory card into the underwater speaker, and began to play.
After he was done, he put on the headphones and paused the playback every once in a while to listen to the underwater sound through the underwater pickup.
Countless mysterious and complicated voices surrounded him again. He had heard some of them before, and some of them he had never heard before. Could it be that there were new guests in the nearby seas after a few days of not seeing each other?
It would be great if the outer sea of Binhai City, which had been barren for a long time, could take advantage of the precious time of the fishing ban to restore its old, vibrant appearance.
Listening to the sounds at the bottom of the sea, his thoughts unknowingly wandered a little. One moment, he thought of Famous's movie that was about to be released, and he was overwhelmed with emotions. The next moment, he thought of the mysterious trip to Egypt, and he was extremely excited. The next moment, he thought of the cat abuse incident that had not been resolved, and he was worried. Also, the damn Holy Cat statue was still missing …
At this moment, he suddenly heard a distant sound that sounded like a train whistle. At first, it was very far away and somewhat dull, as if it came from a tunnel. Soon, it got closer and closer, suppressing all other sounds and causing the entire valley to reverberate.
The other voices seemed to know that the giant of the sea was coming. They immediately fell silent out of fear or fled as fast as they could. It was as quiet as a pond before a storm.
Zhang Zian's spirit was lifted, and he broke away from the state of his mind wandering.
He had listened to 52 Hertz's previous recordings many times, and he was already very familiar with its sound, but today's sound seemed to be different. It was more urgent, shorter, and heavier than the last time. It was like a wanderer who had seen his parents in his hometown from afar, leaving behind all the burdens in his hands and running towards his parents and relatives at the door of his home.
He glanced at the small LCD screen, which showed that the intensity of the sound was increasing at an average speed, proving that 52 Hertz was swimming almost straight towards him at an unprecedented speed.
With his previous experience, he estimated the time, and when he felt that it was about time, he put away the pickup, leaving only the speaker, started the motor, and retreated a short distance towards the coast.
This distance was very subtle. In fact, it had not reached a safe distance, but Zhang Zian decided to take a gamble. He believed in Sihwa's efforts over the past few days. At this distance, even if something went wrong, he could probably swim back to the coast.
He couldn't retreat too far. If 52 Hertz chased after him because it was too excited, its huge body was likely to be stranded on the shore, and then he would be the culprit. He had originally wanted to help it, but in the end, he had harmed it.
Zhang Zian took off his headphones, and his eyes scanned the undulating sea surface. Both of his hands grabbed the sides of the boat, and his heart was beating like a drum. His palms were full of sweat.
It was impossible to say that he was not nervous. A giant beast was about to appear, but he did not know how it was going to appear. Would it directly rush out from below and push the boat into the sky? Or would it open its mouth as wide as a city gate and suck him in together with the boat?
Well, the latter was probably impossible. If 52 Hertz was the hybrid offspring of a blue whale and a fin whale, it must have inherited some of their characteristics. Although the blue whale's mouth was extremely big, its throat was very narrow, and it could not swallow an adult person. It could even be blocked by plastic bags floating in the sea. Some blue whales died like that … So, blue whales would instinctively avoid swallowing larger creatures.
Of course, Zhang Zian did not want to personally verify whether this statement was correct.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a small, fast-moving black dot. He quickly picked up his binoculars and looked over.
It was a dorsal fin, like a sharp blade breaking through the surface of the sea, stabbing straight in the direction of the boat. Behind it, he could faintly see a moving tail fin.
If a person who did not understand marine life was sitting in an eggshell-like boat like Zhang Zian, and suddenly saw a towering dorsal fin rushing towards him, his first reaction would be to think that a shark was coming, and then his second reaction would be to pee himself on the spot.
Zhang Zian's heart also tightened, but when he saw the tail fin behind the dorsal fin, his heart returned to his throat.
It was actually very easy to distinguish between sharks and whales at sea. Although sometimes their dorsal fins were confusing, the way their tail fins swung was essentially different. Sharks swung their tail fins left and right, while whales swung their tail fins up and down. Therefore, the owner of this dorsal fin was a real whale.
Poof!
As it approached, it slowed down and spat out a towering water arrow. Half of its body floated out of the sea.
It was 52 Hertz.
