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

This absurd "you throw, I pick up" game was finally brought to a halt with Jiang Che's complete breakdown.

When that rotten piece of wood, reeking of fish, was thrown back to his feet for the eighteenth time, Jiang Che completely gave up. His legs went weak, and he plopped down on the scorching sand, unmoved by the howling monster's tail slapping in the shallow water and its expectant gaze as it launched a mental attack.

I'm out of energy.

I really have no energy left.

Jiang Che felt that his stomach had been almost completely digested by the stomach acid, and the dizziness caused by low blood sugar made the world in front of him spin. At that moment, he even felt that if this piece of wood was edible, he would take a bite without hesitation.

"Huh? Why did you stop playing again?"

In the sea, the whimpering creature tilted its head, looking at Jiang Che, who was like a lump of mud, its heart filled with lingering regret:

"These two-legged creatures aren't very fit. They're already exhausted after playing for only a short while? Do they lack regular exercise?"

Unwilling to give up, it nudged the log further ashore, trying to wake its sleeping "playmate".

However, at that moment...

Big Fatty, the orca leader who had been observing silently without participating in the game, finally made a move.

As the patriarch of this orca family, Da Pang may speak with a strong local accent and seem like a rough-around-the-edges "street hustler," but its ability to lead its family to survive in this perilous ocean demonstrates its top-notch observation skills and intelligence.

Its deep little eyes were fixed on Jiang Che's stomach.

Big Fatty turned his head and looked at the whiny monster who was still grinning foolishly with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Third brother, stop messing with him. Throw that piece of wood of yours far away."

"Huh? Why, bro?" the whiny guy said, looking aggrieved. "We were having a great time, weren't we?"

"Play my ass!"

Big Fatty let out a snort of annoyance, his inner thoughts becoming serious:

"Didn't you hear the thunder rumbling in that little thing's belly? That means it's hungry! Hungry, you understand? Just like when you don't have food to eat in winter!"

"He was just throwing things in anger, he wasn't playing with you! You idiot!"

After being scolded by his older brother, Yingying shrank back. Although he was a little unconvinced, he obediently spat the piece of wood in his mouth into the water and dared not cause any more trouble.

Big Fatty ignored it.

It turned its gaze back to Jiang Che on the shore.

At this moment, Jiang Che's face was pale, his lips were cracked, and he was curled up in the shade under the coconut tree, looking like a jellyfish that was about to wither.

That's a sign that life force is slipping away.

A strange anxiety suddenly rose in Da Pang's heart.

It has picked up sea turtles, played with seals, and even carried manta rays, but those things either didn't need to be cared for, or it would eat them if they got damaged.

This "two-legged creature" was the only pet it actively wanted to keep.

Moreover, this pet can understand its speech and even give it a bath.

If such a rare thing starves to death right after we pick it up, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

"No, this stuff is too crunchy, it won't keep me full for long."

Big Fatty made his judgment.

It flicked its tail, its massive body gracefully turning in the water, and gave a short command to its family members behind it:

"Stop playing around! It's time to get down to business!"

"Third son, watch him, don't let him run around, and don't let him get swept away by the waves. Second son, take Mom over to the deeper water area for a stroll."

"I'll go get the child something to eat!"

After saying this, the fat man's massive body suddenly plunged downwards and disappeared instantly into the azure sea.

……

ashore.

Jiang Che closed his eyes to rest, trying to reduce energy consumption by minimizing his activity.

Suddenly, the noise around me disappeared.

The incessant chirping of orcas that had been lingering in my ears, along with the clamor in my mind, abruptly ceased as if the power had been cut off.

Jiang Che suddenly opened his eyes.

The once bustling shallow water area is now completely empty.

The five enormous black and white creatures had vanished.

Only the waves continued to tirelessly pound the beach, making a monotonous splashing sound.

"Gone?"

Jiang Che propped himself up and sat up, his eyes searching eagerly across the sea.

It has no dorsal fin.

There was no water mist from the jet.

At that moment, a fear colder than hunger gripped his heart.

Just minutes ago, he complained that these guys were noisy and annoying, and wished they would disappear so he could have some peace and quiet.

But when they actually disappeared, Jiang Che realized just how terrifying the feeling of being "abandoned" was on this deserted island.

Have they gotten tired of playing with it?

That's true, after all, they are wild animals.

I rescued him on a whim, played with him for a while and then got bored and left. Did I really expect them to take care of me like a nanny for the rest of my life?

"Oh……"

Jiang Che gave a self-deprecating laugh, a hint of loneliness flashing in his eyes.

People are always like this: they find things troublesome when they have them, but start to panic when they lose them.

The viewers in the live stream also noticed this anomaly.

[Huh? Where are the orcas? They've all disappeared!]

They were just throwing wood there a moment ago, how come they all ran away in the blink of an eye?

[Could it have left? After all, it's a wild animal, highly migratory.]

[Oh no, the streamer is truly all alone now. Without the orca's help, this desert island survival is hellish!]

The anchor looks so pitiful... that look in her eyes is just like how I looked when I lost my mom in the supermarket when I was a kid.

Don't go! Baby orcas, come back!

Jiang Che looked at the comments, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the bitterness in his heart.

"fine."

He faced the camera, his voice a little hoarse, as if comforting the audience, or perhaps comforting himself:

"They belong to the sea, not to me. It's already an immense favor that they brought me ashore. From now on, I have to walk the rest of the way myself."

After saying that, he leaned on the coconut tree trunk, preparing to stand up and continue searching for food. Without the orcas causing trouble, he had to hurry to the beach, otherwise he would really go hungry tonight.

Time passed by, second by second.

The sea remained eerily calm. Only the occasional seagull flying by let out a few mournful cries.

Jiang Che's heart sank little by little.

It seems they really are gone.

Just as he bent down, preparing to turn over a rock to look for crabs.

boom--!!!

A deafening roar, like a muffled thunderclap, suddenly echoed from the distant sea!

Jiang Che was so startled that his hand trembled and he suddenly raised his head.

About two hundred meters from the beach, in the deep blue sea, a white wave was stretching towards them at an alarming speed.

Like a torpedo flying close to the ground, it tore a rift in the sea with unstoppable momentum.

Its black dorsal fin, towering like a battle flag, gleamed with a sharp, cold light in the sunlight.
