With the sinking of the whaling ship, the seawater poured into the ship through the passage on the deck. The hull was sinking at a relatively slow speed.
Some people jumped into the sea and swam away, while others ran to higher places. Finally, they climbed up the right side of the ship and grabbed the handrail tightly.
Of course, some people also set their sights on the lifeboats. A few sailors spent a lot of effort and finally lowered the lifeboats into the sea.
The people floating in the sea immediately swam towards the lifeboats. The sailors hanging on the side of the ship knew that the whaling ship would sink sooner or later. If they continued to stay on the ship, they would only sink to the bottom of the sea with the whaling ship. So, they jumped into the sea one after another.
Just as the people on the whaling ship swam towards the lifeboats, a huge blue-black figure slowly swam towards them under the sea.
The volunteers on the anti-whaling ship were the latest to notice it. Seeing the huge body of the blue whale swimming towards the people on the whaling ship, they couldn't help but feel worried.
Although they knew that the blue whale was docile and had never attacked humans before, this blue whale's previous action of overturning the whaling ship made it impossible for them to treat it as an ordinary blue whale. As for what it would do next, the people on the anti-whaling ship had no idea.
For a moment, the anti-whaling ship was strangely quiet.
The sailors on the sea did not notice the strangeness of the people on the anti-whaling ship, nor did they notice the arrival of the blue whale.
However, when a water column more than ten meters high suddenly shot out from the sea, they instantly realized that the blue whale they were chasing had come to their side!
Looking up at the thick water column not far away, feeling the cold seawater falling from the sky and splashing on their faces, the people in the sea couldn't help but have a drastic change in expression. One by one, they desperately swam towards the lifeboats as if they were running for their lives.
However, their speed was incomparably slow compared to the blue whale. The people closest to the lifeboats were only halfway there when the blue whale had already caught up with the outermost person. It was the captain of the whaling ship who was thrown far away.
At this time, he was desperately swimming forward, but suddenly felt a strong current surging from behind, as if a huge monster was approaching him. His face could not help but show a touch of panic, and he used all his strength to desperately paddle with his hands and feet.
The next moment, he suddenly felt that his legs had touched something. With his experience as a whaling ship captain for more than a decade, he could instantly tell that it was the skin of a whale!
It was the blue whale!
It was right under his feet!
The captain's expression changed completely. Was he going to be eaten by the whale?
Imagining the horrifying scene of being swallowed by the blue whale's huge mouth, the captain's face was instantly filled with fear and despair!
Just as he swam forward with all his might, hoping to escape from the blue whale's mouth, he suddenly realized that the blue whale's huge body was rapidly swimming under him!
Seeing the huge tail sticking out of the water in front of his eyes and then falling down heavily, the captain's heart could not help but tighten. If he was hit by the blue whale's tail, he would basically lose his life.
He immediately stopped swimming forward and tried to dodge in a hurry. Fortunately, the whale's tail finally fell into the water in front of him by a hair's breadth and did not hit him.
However, when the whale's tail entered the water, it set off a huge wave that directly hit him in the face and swept him far away, causing him to choke on a few mouthfuls of water. If it were not for the lifebuoy thrown down by the members of the Guardian of the Sea, he might have drowned in the sea.
When the waves finally calmed down, the captain looked at the whale in front of him that was swimming towards the other crew members. He could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. If it were not for the fact that there was nowhere to go except for the lifeboats in the sea, he would have turned around and fled in another direction.
The other sailors also noticed the whale swimming under them one after another. One by one, they were terrified. All of them swam desperately towards the lifeboats, as if as long as they got on the lifeboats, they would be able to get rid of the whale's threat and be completely safe.
What made the people on the anti-whaling ship slightly relieved was that although the blue whale kept swimming past the sailors who had fallen into the water, scaring them out of their wits and making them swim forward desperately, it had not launched an attack so far.
However, the captain and the sailors of the anti-whaling ship in the sea were not as relaxed as the people of the Sea Shepherd. The blue whale did not attack them for the time being, but such a 30-meter-long behemoth kept swimming around them, brushing past them from time to time, which still made their hair stand on end.
In particular, the blue whale had been chased by them for a long time. Just now, it had magically pulled the rope and overturned their anti-whaling ship, showing its extremely high intelligence and aggression that they had never seen before. It was impossible for them not to be afraid.
The blue whale was right beside them, and it could open its mouth and devour them at any time. Endless fear surrounded them. God knows how many of them had already wet their pants.
In the midst of the intense torment in their hearts, the people closest to the lifeboats finally climbed onto the boats one after another. They first breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed on the boat and panted heavily. However, when they looked at the other people on the sea again and saw the looming huge figure under the sea, they realized that the lifeboat did not give them a greater sense of security.
Although the lifeboat could accommodate all of them, it was actually not that big. With the size of the blue whale, it could swallow all of them together with the boat in one gulp. If the blue whale attacked the lifeboat, it would not take long for the boat to be completely smashed into pieces.
They were not out of danger yet. The terrifying blue whale could still kill them at any time!
Indeed, the people in the sea did not think of this point. One by one, they swam towards the lifeboat with all their might. Soon, all of them had climbed onto the boat, filling the small lifeboat to the brim.
The captain who was the last to climb onto the lifeboat got up with the help of the others. He looked at the sea with a frightened expression, only to see the blue whale's huge figure rushing straight towards them.
If they were hit, their lifeboat would be overturned, or even destroyed. Without a lifeboat, they would only have a dead end in this vast sea!
It seemed that the blue whale did not want to let them go!
