"Human cubs...human cubs?" Hikasi was very surprised and circled the escape cabin twice: "Does the human species also have cubs?"
"Of course they do." Kledich said: "They were just like us before."
"Oh, of course I know." Hikasi shook her tail: "It's just that the humans I've seen are all machines. Only adult killer whales are like that. I've never seen their calves."
"Well, I haven't seen it either. But isn't there an unused air room in Area 5 of the base? That's the human nursery." Claydich said: "Uncle Jin said he had seen humans in the area before.
Raising cubs inside.”
"That place, that place, hasn't that place been used for a long time? It's so empty, emptier than the sea."
Kledici shook his fins: "Those humans don't want to reproduce now."
"Why? I have never seen humans afraid of hunger. Hunger is not a problem for them at all."
"This is the sea. They are land animals." Kledic said: "I have heard that human cubs can only live in the air. The color of their skin is very mild and reflects soft light. They are very
Soft and cute. Their voices are also very similar to ours."
Hikasi pressed her eyes to the glass hatch again.
Panic's eyes widened.
Mammals with a certain degree of sociality basically have similar instincts. Except for a few males who will kill their cubs in the hope that their mothers will enter estrus again, most social mammals are friendly to their cubs.
Mammalian cubs basically have "eyes that occupy a larger proportion of the face than adults", a "short and small nose bridge" and "slightly upturned corners of the mouth".
Most animals lose these characteristics, called Kindchenschema (baby schema), as they grow.
Of course, of course, as we all know, evolution is not a particularly precise thing.
If an organism possesses the characteristics of multiple "baby schema" at the same time, then it can be looked down upon by social mammals, even if it is essentially a cruel predator that plays with its prey - such as a feline species.
Bit.
This is equivalent to the "card game mechanism BUG" in the history of evolution.
Fortunately, dolphins happen to have "upturned mouth corners." The facial layout of marine animals and land animals are completely different. The upper jaw of dolphins and the same part of the forehead will be recognized by Homo sapiens as a "short nose bridge."
This is a creature that humans instinctively find adorable.
Panic is a little girl whose babyhood has not yet disappeared. She has characteristics that all social mammals would like. Moreover, her sharp voice also pokes holes in the nature of dolphins.
"Uh...uhhh! Cute little guy!" Hikasi shouted: "Should we take her back?"
"What?"
"Humans are land animals. Is she in danger here? We have to take her to meet our humans."
"But what if there is a tracker on this vehicle?"
"It doesn't emit electromagnetic waves or sound waves at all?"
"It will be too late by the time it launches."
"No one would use a cub to fish, would they?"
"Who knows? You are facing humans, that crazy race that once wiped out most of its own kind!"
Panic slapped the glass hatch. She seemed to realize that these two new strange creatures meant no harm to her.
So Panike was not afraid at all. In the past few years of living with Xiangshan, she had been witnessing various prosthetic structures that were completely inconsistent with human instincts. In comparison, the bodies of these two dolphins were so cute.
many.
The little girl patted the glass hatch anxiously and made babbling gestures. She wanted these two "new friends" to take her to see Yuki. Yuki might be in danger now. She needed help.
But it was obvious that these two dolphins did not understand. Neither Kledich nor Hikasi could understand human body movements very well.
"What should I do?" Hikasi asked.
She asked into the distance.
Then, a beam of ultrasound waves came.
That was the other companions transmitting their observations. Far away, there were two groups of humans fighting each other. Hopkins noticed the two groups of humans.
Human beings are killing each other again.
Later, others reported seeing weapons and vehicles fighting.
"That's what happened just now!" Hikasi concluded.
"Well, it seems that this cub came with other people. Then the cub's relatives were attacked and scattered and fled."
Hikasi was startled: "Abandon the cub?"
"Judging from various signs, the cub's family should have attracted the firepower. I hope the cub can survive."
Hikasi immediately remembered those fictitious stories that humans had told themselves. In human stories, humans are awesome. Some narrow whales would say, "It would be great if humans were this awesome all the time."
Now, a human being as great as the story has appeared!
It actually showed up!
Hikasi swam in a big circle in the sea. When she swam back to Kledich, she said to Kledich: "We have to think of a way to help them."
"Of course... No, how is this possible?" Kledici was led by instinct and agreed almost without thinking. He tried hard to restrain his desire to "rescue" and said: "We don't know what those are yet.
Which side are humans from!"
"Humans who treat their cubs like this cannot be bad people! Humans who don't even spare their cubs must not be good people!"
"Humans are very complex creatures! Humans are not that simple!"
"But we have to help them!"
Kledici felt waves of hot blood welling up in his head. Their group of dolphins had an innate desire to rescue. It is said that before they had gained wisdom, even a dolphin in their group would scream when it was stranded.
It is easy for several dolphins to rush desperately into the shallow sea and then be in danger.
After gaining intelligence, this acquired thing created such a chemical reaction with their innate instincts.
Hikasi is already a bit fanatical.
Kledic thought desperately, trying to find a reason for "not rescuing" - an overriding reason. Soon, Kledic realized that not only Hikasi, but also he himself needed persuasion.
The roar of the killer whale came from a distance. They seemed to understand the dolphin's thoughts. Hikasi shouted unceremoniously: "Little brats!"
Finally, the giant whale shouted: "Enough!"
He said: "I hate the dolphins in there! Come and help!"
