Though he had heard about it long ago, the sight of the actual scene still caused Yang Lin a dual sense of psychological and physiological discomfort.
Especially when he recalled his interactions with some of the dolphins at the Xihong Zoo.
Dolphins, possessing near-human intelligence, were like little children.
Throughout history, they had been symbols of freedom, peace, and kindness. Many people who had fallen into the water had been rescued by dolphins, and there were even instances of dolphins fighting sharks to save lives.
Yet, these gentle ocean spirits were now being lured to this beautiful bay through deception by these greedy Japanese fishermen and then brutally slaughtered.
“Li You, you and your subordinates first drive all the outer dolphins out of this sea area.”
As Yang Lin issued his first command, over two hundred tiger sharks immediately sprang into action.
They swam towards the outer perimeter of Dolphin Bay, forming a large net.
Any pod of dolphins they encountered was driven away.
In less than ten minutes, not a single dolphin, nor even a crab, remained in the vicinity of Dolphin Bay.
After driving away all the outer dolphin pods, Yang Lin issued his second command.
“Sink those fishing boats and rescue all the surviving dolphins!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Li You, whose body had already grown to over 9 meters in length, ferociously led his subordinates into the interior of Dolphin Bay.
Perhaps it was due to the blood in the bay obscuring their forms, but no one noticed the abnormality in the water until they were close.
As the fishermen on the outermost fishing boat excitedly discussed how many dolphins they had hunted that day, a violent impact suddenly came from underwater.
Before they could react, the fishing boat beneath them capsized, spilling them into the bloody water.
And this was just the beginning.
As the fishermen on the first fishing boat fell into the water, more and more boats were overturned by the massive shapes hidden beneath the bloody surface.
The fishermen who fell into the water struggled for only a moment before disappearing.
After more than a dozen fishing boats were capsized, the remaining fishermen finally realized something was wrong.
Panic erupted.
Some terrified fishermen immediately jumped overboard, attempting to swim to shore for safety.
However, the moment they hit the seawater, a dark shadow shot out from the bloody depths.
At this point, everyone present finally understood the identity of the dark figures lurking beneath the water.
“Sharks! They’re sharks!”
“How can there be sharks here?”
“Shark repellent, sprinkle the shark repellent quickly!”
“Ah!”
“Kill these sharks! Quickly!”
…
Upon learning the truth, their fear immediately subsided.
After all, they had hunted many sharks before. In their eyes, although sharks were fierce, they were ultimately no match for fishermen.
Just as they were preparing to counterattack, striped dorsal fins suddenly broke the surface of the sea.
Seeing these dense fins, the sliver of courage they had just mustered vanished instantly.
At that moment, only one thought remained in their minds: run.
“Quick, escape! It’s a school of sharks!”
With a desperate scream, the fishermen who had just raised their knives to the dolphins were paralyzed with fear.
Some attempted to start their fishing boats and leave the area.
But they were ultimately capsized by the school of tiger sharks.
Others intended to jump ship and flee.
But they had clearly forgotten who the true predators of the ocean were.
Instantly, screams echoed throughout the bay.
Seizing this moment of chaos, the dolphins that had not yet been massacred were driven out of the bay by Li You.
Half an hour later, the bay returned to a calm state. Looking around, all the Japanese fishing boats had sunk into the sea.
The school of tiger sharks had also withdrawn from the scene under Li You’s leadership.
Only the blood-red seawater continuously washed ashore by the waves remained.
And the onlookers on the shore, as well as the fishermen who had narrowly escaped to land, stared blankly at the bay before them.
They could not comprehend why, after doing this every year, this year they had attracted a school of sharks.
These sharks not only attacked their fishing boats but also rescued the dolphins.
This situation was too abnormal.
Some elderly people who believed in gods and spirits knelt by the sea and continuously prayed towards the ocean.
In their hearts, this was clearly the wrath of the sea, the punishment from the sea god for their rampant slaughter.
Even the younger generation of fishermen who did not believe in ghosts and gods trembled inwardly at the scene.
As everyone stared silently at the sea before them, several hidden cameras recorded everything that had happened.
…
“Li You, your mission now is to escort this pod of dolphins to the island we agreed upon earlier, understand?”
Within Japanese waters, as Li You and his subordinates withdrew from Dolphin Bay, Yang Lin’s voice echoed in his mind.
He naturally did not object to Yang Lin’s request and immediately began herding the rescued dolphins like a sheepdog.
It was only then that Yang Lin discovered that the pod of rescued dolphins numbered in the thousands.
If he hadn’t rescued them, at least half of these thousands of dolphins would have met their end in Dolphin Bay and ended up on the Japanese dinner table.
In his opinion, simply escorting these dolphins out of Dolphin Bay meant they might be lured to Dolphin Bay again by the Japanese sometime in the future.
Instead, it would be better to take them all to Chinese waters.
The climate and marine environment on both sides were not significantly different.
More importantly, no one in China ate dolphins. In Chinese waters, they could thrive and multiply.
As for a place to settle them, Yang Lin had already decided: an island located near Beibu Gulf.
Once these dolphins arrived, he planned to lease the island and rename it Dolphin Island.
As Li You and the tiger shark group were herding the dolphins towards Chinese waters, a system notification sounded in Yang Lin’s mind.
“Ding! Host has successfully rescued a dolphin pod. Reward: Talent Points *10.”
Upon hearing this system notification, Yang Lin did not feel as happy as he had expected.
Because he knew that the atrocities of the Japanese would not stop because of this.
They would never reflect on their cruel actions.
Thinking of this, he immediately came up with a plan.
ps: I looked up information about Dolphin Bay tonight, and the more I researched, the angrier I became. The scene is truly indescribable. They kill over twenty thousand dolphins a year, while dolphins can only give birth once every two to three years, with only one calf per litter. The calves are still nursing when their mothers are gone, and then they pretend to release them. Truly despicable.
