Chapter 871: Chapter 116: Medical Scene

"Panic..." When Xiang Shan saw the escape pod, he roughly understood what had happened.

These dolphins were using ultrasound to mislead the sonar of the escape pod and then lure it over.

Occasionally, they even pushed it themselves.

It seems, it should be Yuki...

"Originally, there should have been another person with her. What happened to that person?" Xiang Shan asked.

Hikashi wagged her tail: "We heard the sound of an explosion, other dolphins are searching."

Xiang Shan said: "Thank you for your help."

It seems that this group of cetaceans is indeed offering assistance out of pure goodwill—or with their fleshy fins.

The previous speculations made him seem rather sinister.

Xiang Shan sighed and connected with the escape pod’s communication, asking Panic what had happened. Panic was young and didn’t have a large vocabulary, but between gestures and cries, Xiang Shan roughly understood what had occurred.

—Well done, kid.

Xiang Shan sighed slightly, comforting Panic: "Alright, stop crying. As long as he hasn’t entirely lost, you’ll see him again sooner or later."

"Hmm." The little girl nodded while wiping her tears.

Xiang Shan quickly wrote a plug-in. This escape pod was already equipped with sonar functions, able to emit and receive ultrasound. With slight modifications, he could make the device convert human Morse code used by dolphins into voice, and Panic’s words into Morse code that dolphins could understand.

Although the system limitations could only express relatively simple intentions and the communication speed was not fast, it was generally sufficient.

Xiang Shan remained cautious of the Six Dragons Sect’s pursuit. If the Six Dragons Sect caught up—for instance, if that Sect Hierarch had a second First Layer Heaven Cyborg specialized for underwater combat, then he would have to engage.

These cetacean friends, although large in size, primarily rely on their physical body. That great whale’s "Whale Song" was indeed exceptional, but it was based on "information discrepancy" and "surprise attack." By adding shock absorption and energy absorption structures around the Biological Brain, it might be possible to be immune to such attacks.

Not to mention...

Xiang Shan recalled the automatically recorded images and signal intelligence from the system.

At that time, although he fainted from the massive ultrasound, the system automatically recorded a lot of intelligence after consciousness went offline. He reviewed it once inside the giant whale’s mouth earlier.

Naturally, Xiang Shan saw the confrontation between the Shooter and the Six Dragons Sect Hierarch.

The Shooter and the Sect Hierarch were the only two not affected by the Whale Song. They likely didn’t have a Biological Brain.

This meant that the Whale Song had very limited ability to constrain the Sect Hierarch.

In fact, if the Shooter hadn’t timely assumed a "mutual destruction" stance, diverting the Six Dragons Sect’s attention, this great whale probably could not have escaped.

The physical survival ability, self-healing ability, and interference resistance ability were indeed extraordinary, but "single performance in specific environments" could not compare to Prosthetic Bodies.

At this moment, a roar interrupted Xiang Shan’s thoughts. He felt the giant whale beneath him slowed down. The three killer whales ahead turned back, dispersed, and began to roar.

"What’s going on?" Xiang Shan didn’t understand why this group suddenly exhibited such an unfriendly demeanor. He could sense that this unfriendliness was directed internally among them.

—What on earth is happening?

Xiang Shan was a bit bewildered. But a killer whale suddenly said to him: "It’s none of your business, human."

"You brat." Hikashi was blunt.

"I’m much older than you."

"Just a pile of size."

"Before another dolphin arrives, don’t act rashly..."

The killer whale let out a menacing growl.

Then, the whale beneath them emitted a deep sound. This sound directly overshadowed all the killer whales and dolphins.

"What’s all the noise? If you’re starving, you can come have a bite."

Hikashi retracted her demeanor, sulkingly said: "We just ate. We’re not hungry. Maybe those brats need it."

The killer whales began communicating in a language Xiang Shan had never heard before.

Shortly after, another dolphin—Kledec—hurried over.

Kledec spat out a slender metal arm from his mouth. He seemed to have hidden this thing in his mouth using a "sword swallowing" technique. Hikashi slowly backed off, her mouth aimed at Kledec’s tail.

Kledec slowly approached...

A wound.

If placed on a human, this wound would be a life-threatening open wound. But it hadn’t even pierced the subcutaneous fat of the giant whale. The wound kept seeping blood, but it’s not obvious.

Without a sense of smell, Xiang Shan hadn’t even noticed all along.

Kledec was suturing this big fellow’s wound.

Xiang Shan still found the tense atmosphere between these dolphins and killer whales quite strange.

Just as he was about to ask, a killer whale directly said: "This is to prevent any of our wild natures from suddenly coming to life."

"What?"

"We’re very hungry," another killer whale said, "That’s what it means."

"Very hungry means..." Xiang Shan suddenly felt a bit horrified: "You’d want to eat this... uh, big fellow?"

"We don’t want to eat," the killer whale said impatiently but still explained: "But we killer whales are top predators, and our ancestors’ prey included various marine mammals..."

"Instinct drives us to take a bite. Especially since it’s been long since we’ve eaten enough."

"Ah, this..." Xiang Shan said: "This is..."

"We depend on chips to think, and the priority of commands in the chip is definitely lower than the Biological Brain. It’s said to be a rule set by some Great Expert among humans." The killer whale said listlessly: "It’s really troublesome for us... Your instinct urges you to bite something, and the preset self-restraint rules in your chip can’t kill this process..."

"The dolphins are much better in this regard... At least their ancestors ate fish. So their ’bite’ desire is much less—even noticed that we were all swimming in front of you? Just afraid of smelling the blood and losing self-control..."

"Also, don’t think that us talking to you is friendliness. We’re just distracting ourselves..."

The three killer whales each spoke a part, and they used a language they weren’t very familiar with.

It seemed they were indeed using this method to force themselves not to think about the wound on the big whale.

Some Great Expert fell into contemplation: "This involves the underlying logic of the control chip... but it should be modifiable..."

The three killer whales all sighed: "No way..."
