Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl

The rescued people in the water didn't want to save others; they just wanted to return to shore safely as soon as possible.

But for the rescue team, under the premise of ensuring safety, they didn't want to watch people lose their lives right before their eyes.

Before the rescue team leader could speak, one of the rescued suddenly stood up and faced his companions.

"We've been rescued, but there are still companions with a fate similar to ours who need urgent rescue. I believe the rescue team will succeed in saving the others, don't you have faith?"

"But, but the wind and waves are so strong..."

Chen Ying interrupted, "The latest notice is that a tsunami may occur in 75 minutes. It will take over twenty minutes to get there, thirty minutes to rescue, and then return to the nearest island to avoid the tsunami. If there's no accident, we should be able to complete the rescue mission smoothly."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly."

An aunt who had fallen into the water next to them spoke out in a Sichuan accent.

They set the speed to maximum, and by the time they arrived, another rescue boat had already reached the scene.

No words were needed, they just got to work vigorously.

Chen Ying took the opportunity on the deck to calm the sea seals and shared some rescue tips. This required the cooperation of the dolphin group, as they could carry wave-resistant trawl nets to assist in the rescue, while the sea seals could guide the people in the water to calm down and take self-rescue actions quickly.

The initial wave was three to four meters high, sweeping away the life jackets, while others were pushed away and scattered, greatly increasing the difficulty of the rescue.

Fortunately, the second rescue boat arrived in time, and now there are only twenty to thirty people waiting for rescue on the surface. There might be some underwater, but that's currently unknown.

The three boats collaborated and spent fifteen minutes pulling all the scattered people on board, with no one visibly left in the water.

At this moment, the high-frequency whistle sounds from the dolphin group suddenly turned into a continuous break, and Chen Ying hurriedly informed the rescue team leader that danger was imminent and they must be prepared.

Typically, divers would need to dive down to search, but the situation was urgent, and the safety of the hundred people already rescued had to be ensured.

The three boats had no choice but to abandon further searches, turn the boats around, and prepare to return.

Hai Bo, along with his two younger brothers, also followed the boats, while the dolphin group had already left after rescuing the people. Ocean creatures naturally have their own ways of evading danger.

However, shortly after setting off, the three boats received an order to head to deep waters to avoid the incoming tsunami.

Based on past experiences and expert advice on dealing with tsunamis, if there is enough time and fuel, heading to deep waters is the best way to deal with a tsunami. Typically, in open ocean areas with water depth > 100 meters, the tsunami wave is likely ≤ 1 meter.

The sea area they were in had a deepest point of more than four hundred meters, meaning they must speed up to reach deep waters to safely avoid the incoming tsunami.

Along the way, everyone was on edge. Those rescued hadn't even had a moment to breathe before facing even greater danger.

Fortunately, there were no excess supplies on the rescue ships; the relevant rescue equipment was well-prepared, including thermal life jackets, EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), and lifeboats equipped with freshwater and emergency food.

Chen Ying stayed by the sea seals' side, his expression worried.

Suddenly, a familiar dolphin repeatedly leapt out of the water, and the sound it made made Chen Ying pause slightly.

"Captain, follow that False Killer Whale, it will lead us to avoid danger."

Upon hearing Chen Ying's words, the captain hesitated for a second before decisively changing course to follow the False Killer Whale.

The other two boats hadn't even had time to inquire before they received notice from this captain, and those responsible for steering the boats followed without hesitation.

After twenty minutes, the waves seemed to have gotten smaller, but the expressions of the three captains grew even more serious.

"The wave height near the coast suddenly increased to eight meters, and some coastal ships and houses couldn't be saved."

In the cabins of the three rescue boats, the rescued people felt very uncomfortable due to the turbulence, but no one blamed the rescue team members. They did their best to steady themselves, and the elderly and several children, who were the primary protection targets, were instinctively safeguarded in the safest areas by everyone.

Seeing the False Killer Whale stop, the three sea seals also made sounds to reassure Chen Ying, who slowly exhaled, released his grip on the guardrail, and carefully entered the cabin.

"There shouldn't be any danger here. The dolphins have already stopped, suggesting there may be other marine creatures nearby avoiding the waves."

The three captains exchanged a few words, and after contacting the onshore rescue command center, decided to wait out the tsunami here.

Chen Ying didn't get involved in the rescue team's operational command. He was just a veterinarian, and his rescue knowledge was only superficial; leaving the professional tasks to the experts was the most prudent approach.

The waiting time passed extremely slowly, and three hours later, they received the notice to return slowly.

By this time, the ocean creatures had dispersed; the dolphin group had gone to feed, and the three sea seals had gone for a walk in the sea, with one bringing back a fish to feed Chen Ying.

After returning, Chen Ying couldn't take part in the subsequent rescue work, so he contacted the village chief to confirm they hadn't been able to reach Uncle Chris' son, but there was news that he and his companions were participating in rescue efforts on a nearby island.

As they approached land, the rescued people from the three boats were merged and transferred, and the vacated boat carrying supplies turned to participate in the coastal rescue.
