Chapter 533: Rescue Operation, Dolphin Is a Skilled Worker
After dawn, Chen Ying dialed Kelas's phone again, the other's voice was hoarse, and his tone was very urgent.
"Brother Ying, a cruise ship had an accident and is stranded at sea, a rescue is being organized."
"Need help?"
"No need, professionals are already arranged to go there. Sorry, I forgot to call you earlier, mainly because my mom and her friends are on this ship too."
"Are they alright? How are Auntie and the others doing now?"
"They're fine, the rescue helicopter has already been coordinated here, but there are many people on the cruise ship, not everyone can leave by helicopter..."
Kelas didn't finish his sentence, but Chen Ying understood what he meant.
A cruise ship carries quite a few people, travelers from various places can total up to a thousand, if it's a large cruise ship, two or three thousand people is normal.
Kelas's mom and the others can leave by their arranged rescue helicopter, but what about other ordinary tourists? With some people able to be rescued first, the remaining tourists would definitely have a hard time psychologically.
Right now, it's better not to ask how such a large cruise ship could suddenly malfunction, or why it was forcibly stopped on the sea, the urgent matter is rescue.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ying thought for a moment and went to the village chief's house to inquire about the situation.
The village chief's house was very lively, several older villagers stood at his door, talking quietly with serious expressions. Meanwhile, at the outdoor table in his garden, a chubby woman was wiping tears, with four or five women including the village chief's wife comforting her.
"Village chief, what happened?" Chen Ying greeted actively.
The village is small, but the people are good. Usually, when Chen Ying is not home, the villagers take the initiative to help manage the surrounding environment.
"It's Uncle Chris's eldest son and Grandma Pegado's little grandson who got into trouble. They should have returned last night, but they haven't come back until now, and all communication methods have failed. The village chief has reported it, but it seems that problems have occurred elsewhere too, the higher-ups are a mess, and they're telling us to think of our own ways first, they will also expedite their efforts."
Chen Ying frowned, the ones staying in this small village are not wealthy people, telling them to think of their own ways, what ways can they think of? Sail out to find people?
Hey, sail out to find people? Chen Ying stroked his chin, it seems like it's not impossible.
What in this world is more familiar with the ocean than marine animals? Nothing!
However, he couldn't openly say he needed to use marine animals for help, he could only set off first and then find an excuse.
Fortunately, he hadn't wasted the last three years of rest. With the strong support of his girlfriend at home, he had learned cruise and plane piloting skills, passed a diver certification, and could join the marine rescue team anytime in emergencies.
Returning to his home, he contacted the local marine rescue team and learned that most of their organization members had already gone to the sea to participate in the rescue. Professionals like Chen Ying usually aren't notified to participate in rescue unless there's a call for help from marine animals.
Learning that the nearest rescue team would set off with supplies in three hours, Chen Ying directly applied to join, hoping to help find the two young people from his village.
The fishing boat they drove wasn't an ocean-going fishing boat and couldn't go too far, and from listening to their families, the two brothers and a few other young people planned to go to the deepwater area of the west coast to catch lobsters and use trawling net to catch cod.
In their area, cod is the most active fish in winter, and without a special fishing permit, they don't dare to have ideas about catching salmon.
After confirming their general destination, the next need is to investigate who saw their boat in the past days.
Others would handle these issues, Chen Ying's job was to take care of the Sea Seal Brothers accompanying them on the marine rescue mission.
Baby stayed home due to her capabilities, while Hai Bo, along with two half brothers, acted as guides for the two-legged beasts at sea.
Their first destination was a deserted island located on the edge of the archipelago, where a fishing boat had malfunctioned and could only dock near the deserted island. Fortunately, although there were no humans on the island, there were plenty of plants and naturally stored fresh water, enough to sustain the crew for survival.
When Chen Ying's rescue ship arrived near the deserted island, they found a group of bottlenose dolphins swimming nearby, seemingly interested in the moored ship and the two-legged beasts on the island.
Hai Bo raised his head on the deck alertly, seemingly discovering something.
When the ship approached the dolphin group, the people on board also noticed something unusual.
"There seems to be a False Killer Whale mixed in with these dolphins?"
"What a joke, False Killer Whales don't live in this sea area." Someone directly refuted, picking up binoculars while speaking, then fell silent.
"Did my eyes play tricks, is that really a False Killer Whale?"
Chen Ying didn't say a word, squatted down and patted Hai Bo's back, "Is that guy the whale you fought with? You said it had a little cub with a dolphin?"
Hai Bo made a couple of "oh oh" sounds and slipped into the water from the deck. Chen Ying worried about its safety, lowered the rescue boat and followed.
The water temperature in this sea area was higher than where it lived, which affected seals a lot, yet Hai Bo adapted well, this temperature was uncomfortable but wouldn't affect it much.
Recognizing Hai Bo, that False Killer Whale also swam over.
