Half an hour later, a permafrost area covered with thick ice and snow appeared in front of Yang Lin.

Chapter 447 The Prehistoric Beast Under the Ice Layer

As the largest island in the world, more than 80.00% of Greenland is covered by ice.

The thickest part of the ice is as thick as 3000 meters, and the lowest winter temperature is lower than that of the Arctic Ocean, especially in the northernmost part of its islands.

According to Yang's mother's description, she and Yang's father accidentally fell into an ice cave with a depth of about five meters when passing through the northern ice field.

Father Yang's leg was also scratched by one of the sharp pieces of ice.

So as long as you find it there, you can find the original sample of the ancient virus.

Looking at the white ice field in front of him, Yang Lin glanced around and said to the dog beside him:

"Smell it and see which area it is in."

As soon as the order was issued, the two brothers quickly searched on the ice field.

It only took 5 minutes for them to delineate a rough range for Yang Lin.

Considering that there might be many similar ice holes under this ice field, Yang Lin didn't approach it hastily, but took out a long branch from the sled.

When he hit an ice surface, the seemingly thick ice surface instantly shattered, and then a dark and deep cave appeared in front of him.

Looking at the ice hole with signs of refreezing, Yang Lin guessed that this might be the hole his father accidentally fell into.

When he turned on the flashlight to shine the light in, he became more convinced of his guess.

Because at a place less than two meters deep from the entrance of the cave, a pool of blood that had completely solidified was clearly visible.

"found it!"

Looking at the pool of blood, Yang Lin's eyes lit up and he quickly took out the ice pick and climbing rope.

After tying the climbing rope around his waist, he slowly landed under the ice hole.

After a while, it has already landed at the bottom of the hole.

To his surprise, there is still an extremely wide space under this ice hole.

The ice layer, which should have been extremely thick, has already begun to thaw, so that some structures such as ant caves can be seen as far as the eye can see.

But at the moment Yang Lin didn't have the heart to pay attention to these things.

After finding the piece of broken ice scratched by Father Yang's mouth, Yang Lin took out the test tube he carried with him and carefully filled some ice slag on the surface.

Considering that the virus on the surface might be necrotic due to exposure to the air for too long, he used an ice pick to peel off a part, trying to take some more samples from the center of the ice.

But when he used the ice ax to break through layers of ice, a hard object suddenly collided with the ice ax.

The first time he touched this hard object, Yang Lin subconsciously thought it was a stone frozen under the ice.

But as soon as this idea came up, he felt something was wrong.

According to common sense, the area he is currently in is still an ice-covered area, and he has to dig down at least tens of meters to touch the permafrost.

Where does the normal ice layer come from?

After realizing this, he quickly pointed the light of the flashlight at the hard object.

When he used leather gloves to clean up the shards of crushed ice on the surface of the hard object, what appeared in front of him immediately made his eyes widen.

Following his gaze, he saw that what kind of stone was frozen in the ice, it was clearly an ivory with a sharp edge.

"This..." Looking at the long ivory in the ice layer, Yang Lin didn't know what to say for a while.

After reacting, he immediately searched around the ivory again.

Sure enough, at a distance of about one meter from this tusk, a second complete tusk appeared there.

Looking at the two symmetrically distributed ivories, a bold guess arose in his mind.

"Wouldn't it be a whole mammoth carcass frozen here?"

When he saw the appearance of the first ivory, Yang Lin knew that it was definitely not an ordinary ivory.

Because it is impossible for ordinary elephants to live in this high-latitude area, only cold-resistant mammoths will live here.

Once this guess came into being, Yang Lin could no longer restrain his inner excitement, and started digging with the ice ax in his hand.

Perhaps because the ice surface has begun to thaw, the ice layer is not too hard.

After digging continuously for half an hour, a huge head appeared in front of him.

Just like Yang Lin's previous guess, the owner of this huge head is a prehistoric creature that lived tens of thousands of years ago—a mammoth.

It was frozen in the ice layer and it was no different from when it was alive, even its eyes were open.

From its eyes, Yang Lin could feel its fear of death.

Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, it also fell into the water accidentally, and then due to the sudden drop in temperature, it was permanently frozen in this ice sheet, turning into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Even Yang Lin had an illusion that it was still alive, of course it was just an illusion.

The moment it froze, it lost its vitality forever, leaving only a well-preserved body.

Just as Yang Lin looked up at the mammoth carcass in front of him with a mentality of witnessing history, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

"Ding! The creature was detected as an uncollected species, and the system is automatically collecting it."

"The collection is complete. The current species is the Emperor Mammoth. The reward is 10 achievement points."

"Imperial Mammoth - Chordate Phylum, Vertebrate Subphylum, Mammalia, Eutheria, Proboscidea, Proboscidea, Elephantidae."

Yang Lin was not too surprised when he heard the notification sound. After all, even if it was a dead mammoth, it was still a mammoth.

What's more, the head in front of me can only be said to be brain dead, and the body should still have a very high activity, which is not much different from when it just died.

That is to say, the current technology of human beings is not up to the standard. If it is up to the standard, maybe they can try to be resurrected.

But just as he was thinking this way, the next system prompt made him a little uneasy.

"It is detected that the animal is about to die, is the host willing to spend 20 achievement points in exchange for a special talent for rebirth, so that it can be resurrected in another way?"

This system notification sound was like a bolt from the blue, which caught Yang Lin by surprise.

"Is about to die, what do you mean, it means it is not dead?"

After comprehending it carefully, Yang Lin's eyes were full of shock.

Immediately, he also thought of a technology that was once popular in the scientific world, human cryogenics.

It is almost like freezing a terminally ill person who is dying with rapid freezing technology, and then unblocking it when the technology is developed enough to cure the terminal illness.

There are even real-life cases of this technology, but so far no attempt has been made to unblock it.

If this mammoth had also been frozen in such an instant, it might have retained a trace of life.

It's just that this glimmer of vitality is not enough to bring it back to life again.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately chose yes after his eyes flickered.

And the next second after he made his choice, a ball of light that ordinary people couldn't see flew out of the mammoth's body, and flew towards the east in an instant, where the Dragon Kingdom was located.

Chapter 448 Mammoth cemetery, hand over to the country

Watching the light group go up to the sky with his own eyes, Yang Lin, who had a similar experience, was not too surprised.

He had a hunch that he would soon be able to see the reborn emperor mammoth.

Thinking of this, he once again looked at the mammoth corpse in front of him.

Visible to the naked eye, this corpse is different from before.

Although the previous mammoth corpse was frozen in the ice, its appearance was basically the same as it was in life. Even the eyes were still shining, like a living thing.

But the mammoth corpse now has no sense of living things, and has changed from a living thing to an object.

After two more glances, Yang Lin's eyes turned to those side roads.

Inexplicably, he felt that there should be more than one unlucky mammoth here.

With this in mind, he quickly explored the surrounding area with a flashlight.

Five minutes later, he found the second mammoth carcass.

Ten minutes later he found the third and fourth mammoth carcasses.

After 10 minutes, he has found 8 mammoth carcasses in a row.

There are big and small ones.

Combined with some living habits of the elephant herd, he can basically judge that this is a mammoth herd led by a female elephant.

Only due to the wrong guidance of the female elephant, the entire elephant herd was frozen here.

At this moment, it seems that this place has become a mammoth cemetery.

When the ice sheet is completely thawed, it will soon be exposed to the eyes of the public.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin felt a pity.

But he couldn't take the mammoth carcasses away.

So he finally made a decision, which is to hand over all the mammoth corpses to the country.

Anyway, the specific ownership of this ice sheet area is still disputed internationally, and theoretically speaking, it belongs to all mankind.

And the Dragon Kingdom is a member of all mankind, so it naturally enjoys the right to dispose of these mammoth corpses.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent another video to Teacher Xiaoliang.

Thanks to the signal base station built by Longguo here, the video was quickly connected smoothly.

When Teacher Xiaoliang saw the dark background on Yang Lin's side, a trace of surprise inevitably appeared in his eyes.

"Hey, Director Yang, shouldn't it be the extreme daylight over there now? Why is it still dark?"

As soon as he finished his sentence, Yang Lin threw out another sentence.

"I suggest that you immediately call the main leaders of the scientific expedition team over. I have important things to report now, and your level is a little low."

Hearing Yang Lin's words suddenly, Teacher Xiaoliang laughed immediately.

"What the hell is it? My level is not high enough. Did you discover some new species in Greenland?"

"But even if that's the case, there's no need to alert a few big leaders."

Faced with Teacher Xiaoliang's joke, Yang Lin's expression was still serious.

"It's not a new species, but I hope you will stand firm next time."

While speaking, Yang Lin turned on the light of the flashlight, and at the same time, the camera of the mobile phone moved along with it.

When the camera moved to Yang Lin's side along with the light, the mammoth corpse frozen in the ice immediately filled the entire screen.

Teacher Xiao Liang, who was still smiling, subconsciously took two steps back when he saw the mammoth's corpse.

It took a few seconds for him to speak fragrantly:

"Fuck, fuck! This is a mammoth, it can't be alive, Director Yang, where did you get it from?"

"Do you have some strange BUFF with you? You can meet strange animals wherever you go."

Teacher Xiaoliang had just expressed his shock, and Yang Lin immediately showed the other mammoth corpses one by one.

Whenever a mammoth carcass appeared, Teacher Xiaoliang's expression would change accordingly.

By the time the last mammoth carcass appeared, he could no longer remain calm.

While trembling, the body walked out of the camera.

"You wait, I'll go find those big leaders right now."

"Don't hang up the video, wait for me!"

After he finished speaking, he ran away without a trace.

When he appeared again, a group of bigwigs from the scientific expedition team had already followed behind him.

After the bosses arrived, Yang Lin showed the mammoth corpse again.

Even these bigwigs in the scientific community, who are used to seeing big winds and waves, are no different from Yang Lin after seeing these mammoth carcasses.
