901 Knight in Shining Armor (1/2)

There weren't many opportunities to take pictures of whales swimming with their mothers, and they were often monopolized by high-end marine photographers. Zhang Zian knew he couldn't miss the opportunity. He picked up his phone and took a few shots. Along with the previous ones he had sent to Huang, Xiao Zhi would be very happy to see the photos.

The minke whale's mother was wary of Zhang Zian and his assault boat. It didn't approach the boat, but it kept a distance of two to three hundred meters away as it swam around the boat.

Zhang Zian understood the mentality of being a mother. In order to not disturb them, he did not bring the boat towards them.

The minke whale played happily for a while around his mother, then as if it got bored, it swam towards the assault boat again.

Splash!

The minke whale's mother moved, too. Although it didn't trust Zhang Zian, it was more worried about letting its child act alone. So, it followed the minke whale, protecting it from the side as they swam towards the assault boat.

Fortunately, they weren't moving fast. Otherwise, Zhang Zian would have had to consider speeding up and leaving the area to prevent the boat from being knocked over.

In order to show that he was not hostile, Zian placed his phone back into the waterproof bag and slid his hand into the water. He gently played with the water as if to welcome them.

Three hundred meters…

Two hundred meters…

One hundred meters…

Their distance grew closer and closer.

Zhang Zian stared at them intently, completely oblivious that an unexpected situation was about to happen.

Fwoosh!

Right in front of the assault boat, a third, grayish-black minke whale jumped out of the sea without warning. Its giant body rolled in the air before it smashed back down into the sea.

Due to the close distance, the light assault boat violently swayed from the impact of the waves. Zhang Zian, who was caught off guard, was almost tossed out of the boat.

”Not good!” Zian watched as the waves, mixed with white foam, came crashing down on him. Zian shouted in surprise, and with no time to dodge it, his hair and face became soaked.

Water had also gotten into the assault boat, causing the inside of the boat to become slippery. Zian was unable to balance himself, and he fell to one side.

Fortunately, Zian reacted fast. He held onto the bracket that fixed the awning for support, and at the same time, he crouched down to lower his center of gravity, stabilizing himself after many difficulties.

The assault boat rolled like a toy boat between the waves and the troughs, going up and down. It was more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

Zhang Zian's face turned pale. He grabbed onto the hull with one hand and a lifebuoy in the other. He was prepared to abandon the ship to save his life.

Shortly after, when the second wave did not come as expected, Zian carefully straightened his body on the boat.
