Nickerson asked weakly.

“Yes, I have a wife.”

Owen looked at the endless sea in the distance and said lightly.

There is no doubt that he misses his wife very much now.

and this.

Perhaps this is the motivation that keeps him persisting and determined to live no matter what!

When the time came, it was the 71st day since they encountered the shipwreck.

Their situation is already very bad.

The people on the boat began to draw lots.

All the audience held their breath, not knowing what they were doing.

At last.

The captain drew the lot.

But everyone was reluctant, even his cousin Henry wanted to draw the lot again.

Captain George was very determined.

He pulled out his pistol and handed it to Henry.

After seeing this scene.

The audience finally understood it.

They are drawing lots to die!

Food and fresh water are becoming increasingly scarce.

This was also a huge crisis for them, so they had to choose another person to die.

“If you don’t dare to shoot, then I will give the gun to someone else.”

George said to Henry.

Seeing his cousin say this, Henry had no choice but to take the gun.

Subsequently.

He held the gun high, against his cousin’s head.

It seemed as if the gun would be fired at any moment.

but……

boom!

There was a gunshot.

He just shot himself!

Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect Henry to make such a choice in the end.

that’s it.

They had been drifting on the sea for an unknown amount of time.

at this time.

They had only two ships left.

The third ship has completely disappeared!

On the vast ocean, we can’t see each other’s shadow.

But at this moment, a huge monster jumped out of the sea.

It’s a whale!

It’s the whale from before!

It’s still there? ! ! !

Suddenly, everyone became alert!

Owen even raised his spear high, ready to stab the whale.

however……

But he never could bring himself to do it!

When he saw the whale dive into the sea with its huge tail swinging, the spear in Owen’s hand fell completely onto the boat.

It seems.

For him now.

The hatred for the whale has completely disappeared. I am about to die, so what is the point of killing the whale?

What’s more, I don’t have the strength to kill it.

……

A few more days passed.

The ocean current completely separated their ships.

This was also the last time Irving and Nixon saw George and others.

At this time, Irving and Nixon had become extremely weak.

Owen has started hallucinating and seeing his father.

The audience speculated.

Is he dying?

I guess so!

Just at this time.

Seagulls appeared in the sky.

Nixon gradually stood up and looked into the distance.

They saw land!

“Mr. Owen, look!”

Nixon shouted at the top of his lungs.

however……

Owen used up almost all his strength before he slowly opened his eyes.

Finally saved!

On the ninetieth day after the whaling ship sank, they were finally rescued.

The captain and his crew were also rescued by another ship.

later.

They finally returned home safely.

Back to the departure port.

Everyone came to see them, but no one spoke or asked them what they had experienced at sea.

When Owen saw his wife.

He saw that his wife was holding a little girl.

That’s his daughter!

The family finally hugged each other!

They were in tears!

Of course.

In the end, they still have a lot to work out.

Because this voyage caused a great deal of loss of life and property, they needed to examine George, the captain, and Owen, the first mate.

They need to tell the story of what happened during this process.

But if the facts are told.

This will be a devastating blow to the entire industry!

so.

They don’t recommend telling the truth!

However, Owen felt that lying should not be done.

In any case, they should tell the truth about the matter.

But those senior officials tempted him with money. If he was willing to cover up the truth, then his surname would be carried forward.

He himself will become a wealthy man, and their family will become a household name!

Faced with such temptation.

Owen was silent.

The audience was also very nervous, wondering whether Irving would choose to go along with these people.

“I don’t think so. He didn’t even kill the whale in the end!”

“I think so in my heart. I think Owen still has some bottom line!”

“I can only say that these people (who have become kings) are too greedy. For the sake of whale oil, not only do they let their subordinates risk their lives to hunt whales, but they also kill whales on a large scale!”

“That’s right. In the early days of industrial development, before the discovery of oil, humans met their industrial needs by hunting whales on a large scale!”

The development trajectory of this parallel world is quite consistent with that of the real world.

and so.

Many viewers can also understand what is said in the video.

Looking back on the past history, many people feel a sense of emotion.

Fortunately, in the real world, most countries in the world no longer hunt whales.

……

“Our ship was attacked by a whale, and we committed unforgivable crimes at sea in order to survive!”

“Now that we are back, we are going to spread shameless lies!”

“In this way, you guys, as giants in the industry, can sleep well at night?”

“I won’t sugarcoat the truth, and neither should you, George!”

Done.

Owen looked at George who was standing nearby.

After saying this, he turned and left.

And George’s face also showed a very ugly look.

……

On a rainy day.

Nickerson saw Irving for the last time.

This time, he came to say goodbye to Owen because he was about to leave here and go somewhere else.

“It’s an honor to sail with you, Mr. Irving.”

Nixon, who is not very good at speaking, can’t find a good adjective.

At this moment, this is the only thing I can say.

“It’s an honor to sail with you, too, Mr. Nixon.”
