Oh no! I've been kept as a pet by a stray killer whale!

At this moment, the "Sky Eye" drone was still hovering two meters in front of him, and the camera with the flashing red dot was like a quiet eye, watching his every move.

Jiang Che raised his head and looked at the camera.

Despite all that commotion, the number of viewers in the live stream not only didn't decrease, but actually exceeded eight thousand. The chat was flooded with comments, mostly of laughter, but also many expressions of concern.

[The streamer drank some water! Thank goodness, as long as there's fresh water, he can survive!]

Seeing how chapped his lips were, it broke my heart.

[I was so focused on laughing at the orca spraying water that I realized now that the streamer looks really bad.]

Who is the anchor? Is this really a shipwreck or a survival show?

Jiang Che remained silent for a moment after seeing these comments.

He knew he had to say something, not only to respond to the viewers who had stumbled upon the live stream, but also to send a distress signal to the outside world through the live broadcast.

Jiang Che cleared his throat; although his voice was still hoarse, it was much better than before.

He faced the camera with a tired yet extremely serious expression.

"Hello everyone."

"My name is Jiang Che. I am a researcher on the oceanographic research vessel 'Exploration' and also a PhD in marine biology."

When the words "Explorer" were mentioned, Jiang Che's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"About 24 hours ago, in the early morning of the 14th of this month, we encountered a highly destructive super cyclone storm in the high seas of the Pacific Ocean."

"The storm came too fast, the ship's structure was severely damaged, and it broke apart and sank in a very short time."

Jiang Che's voice was deep and low, which, combined with his pale face covered in salt crystals, conveyed a suffocating sense of realism. The originally cheerful comments in the live stream gradually decreased, followed by shock and silence.

"I grabbed onto a lifebuoy before falling into the water and drifted at sea for a whole night."

"As for my colleagues...the twenty-two crew members and research team members..."

Jiang Che took a deep breath, his eyes slightly reddening, and his voice choked with emotion: "I don't know if they survived. I didn't see a second person during the drifting. Maybe... I'm the only survivor."

The atmosphere instantly became heavy.

This is a true tragedy.

The audience who were just making jokes now truly realized that the young man in front of them was not acting; he was using his life to record the remaining days after a disaster.

[Oh my god...it really was a shipwreck...]

[I remember now! The news this morning seemed to mention something about a ship going missing in the Pacific!]

[Hugs to the streamer, she's in such a sorry state.]

So, you were rescued by those orcas?

Jiang Che nodded, just about to continue his emotional tale, recounting how he persevered in despair and his insights into life.

These are often the moments when live streams are most likely to attract fans and evoke empathy.

however.

He had clearly forgotten that behind him was a group of Ocean Street loafers who didn't understand what "reading the atmosphere" meant, let alone what "sadness" meant.

Just as Jiang Che's emotions reached their peak, and he was about to utter the classic line, "But I will not give up hope"—

"Hey!! You two-legged creature!!"

A deafening roar exploded in his mind without warning, instantly shattering the tears that Jiang Che had just gathered.

"What are you dawdling about? What are you muttering about to that flying metal lump?"

Big Fatty was getting impatient waiting in the sea.

It initially thought the "technician" was just going to drink some water to moisten his throat, but he ended up drinking for several minutes. After finishing, he didn't do any work. Instead, he sat under the tree talking to himself in the air, looking so bitter and resentful that it felt uncomfortable all over.

"Get down! Take a bath!"

Big Fatty's barrage of sarcastic remarks, delivered in a thick Northeastern accent, bombarded Jiang Che's senses like a machine gun:

"Don't you even smell yourself? You smell awful!"

"Is that the smell of seawater? It smells like rotten shrimp stuffed in a smelly sock and fermenting for three days! I almost threw up!"

"Get down here and wash up! Wash yourself clean before you scratch me! Otherwise, I'm afraid your stench will irritate my delicate elbows!"

The mischievous kid next to them, who seemed to thrive on chaos, also joined in the commotion:

"Yeah, yeah! It stinks! I wanted to say that when he was on my back, I almost passed out from the stench!"

"Take a shower! Take a shower! Otherwise, we refuse service!"

Jiang Che: "..."

The veins on his forehead throbbed.

sad?

Moving?

Everything's gone!

It's like you're giving a eulogy at a funeral, and suddenly someone next to you lets out a loud and long fart, asking you if it smells good.

Those bastards!

This smells like the weariness of someone who just escaped death! It's the smell of a real man's sweat! How did it turn into the smell of rotten shrimp?

Moreover, you bunch of orcas who eat raw fish every day and whose mouths are full of fishy smells actually complain that I smell bad?

Who gave you the courage? Fish Leong?

Unbearable, no need to endure.

In that instant, Jiang Che completely forgot that he was still live streaming, and also forgot that the thousands of viewers on the other side of the camera couldn't hear the orca's inner voice at all.

He whirled around and roared back at the large creatures spouting water and thrashing about in the sea:

"I don't smell bad!!"

"That's the smell of seawater! It's your fishy smell that got on me! I haven't even complained about your foul breath yet, and you're already complaining about me?!"

After shouting those words, Jiang Che took a deep breath and felt much better.

however.

The air suddenly became quiet.

In the sea, the five orcas that were originally making a ruckus froze in unison, and the big fat one, which was spraying water halfway, suddenly stopped and turned into a few laughable drops of water.

In the live stream, the chat, which was originally filled with messages like "I feel sorry for the streamer" and "May the deceased rest in peace," experienced a brief pause.

After a few seconds of deathly silence.

The viewers in the live stream were the first to react, and the barrage of comments instantly turned into a sea of ​​question marks.

【？？？？？】

Who is the host talking to?

"I don't smell bad? That's the smell of seawater? Who is he answering?"

Did anyone just speak? I didn't hear anything. Besides the sound of the waves and the orcas, there was no one else around!

[This is chilling... Is the streamer hallucinating?]

[Oh no, this is a classic sign of post-traumatic stress disorder! He's arguing with someone in his imagination!]

Is it possible... he was arguing with the orca?

[Don't be ridiculous, upstairs. Arguing with an orca? Orcas only whimper, they can't say "You stink!"]

The audience thought Jiang Che had gone mad.

Meanwhile, in the ocean, the orcas also felt that the world had gone mad.
