Chapter 449: Giant Iceberg

In 1958, an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.3 triggered a landslide that plunged more than 30 million cubic meters of icebergs into Alaska's Litua Bay.

As a result, the waters of Litua Bay were severely displaced, resulting in a super tsunami of 516 metres high.

The tsunami was the highest tsunami on record and upended oceanographers' perception of a tsunami.

And just a month after the tsunami in Litua Bay, in the waters north of China, fishermen discovered a huge iceberg that suddenly appeared.

The area exposed to the sea alone is the size of a small city, and its underwater volume is simply immeasurable!

The matter was quickly learned by the local government and immediately reported to the next level, and it was immediately highly valued by the senior leaders.

In order not to cause panic among the broad masses of the people, but also to prevent the hostile forces at that time from coveting their hearts.

The government has sent troops to completely cordon off the area, and no one is allowed to divulge information.

At the same time, experts and scholars were organized to carry out large-scale exploration and research on this sudden huge iceberg.

At that time, some experts believed that this giant iceberg, which was close to China's coast, was likely to be used by hostile forces and become a bridgehead for aggression against China.

Some people even proposed to use an atomic bomb, which was still in the experimental stage, to completely blast the iceberg, but this was opposed by most people.

And it didn't take long for the advance team to climb this giant iceberg to find a black stone altar engraved with ancient characters in the central area.

And in the middle of this mysterious altar, there is a bottomless deep well, which leads to no one.

Other than that, there is nothing else on top of the iceberg.

After learning of this situation, the Chinese government attached great importance to it. Several archaeological teams were immediately dispatched to climb the giant iceberg to investigate the mysterious black stone altar.

However, after studying for a long time, these archaeological team members were at a loss for the ancient words on the altar, and they didn't know what they meant.

At that time, Qi Heqing, who had returned from studying abroad and was in the prime of life, saw that the archaeological work had come to a standstill and had not progressed for a long time.

He volunteered to go deep into the deep well on the altar with his superiors, and was agreed.

Immediately, Qi Heqing led the same young and vigorous archaeological team members, with the help of the troops, to go deep into the ancient well that seemed to be bottomless......

"At that time, after we went down the well one by one with slings, we found that except for a small section of the black stone wellhead above, the rest of the well walls were all solid ice.

I don't know if it's because of refraction, after passing through a pitch-black shaft in the middle. The deeper we went, the more light we found.

It wasn't until we followed the shaft and came to a huge ice cave that had been dug by hand. You can see the inside of this unknown iceberg without the need for its own light source.

And the first time we arrived safely in the ice cave, we were deeply shocked by the scene in front of us.

I saw that in the depths of the iceberg, there was an incomparably huge giant creature frozen in ice!

Its enormity is beyond words to describe, and the entire ice cave the size of a football field can only reveal a terrifying body covered with huge scales.

At that time, we even suspected that this whole giant iceberg was the shell that encased that behemoth!

And what's even more unbelievable is that in this artificially dug ice cave, there are more than a dozen foreigners who have been frozen into ice sculptures!

We never thought that someone would be here before us.

And looking at the clothes of those foreigners, they are also people of our era, and they should have just died.

And each of them was extremely frightened, as if they had experienced something terrible before they died.

We were at the age of good luck, and although we were a little surprised by these dead people, we were not very afraid.

On the contrary, for the frozen mysterious beast, the desire to explore is even stronger!

Curiosity overcame reason, and we desperately walked through the ice sculptures of the foreigners towards the body of the beast.

As soon as we approached, we were deeply shocked by the brilliance and the countless blue scales, and we couldn't extricate ourselves.

It wasn't until a long time before we reacted.

Immediately afterwards, he was surprised to find that this was on top of the corpse of a giant beast that had been frozen for an unknown number of years. The mysteriously arranged countless huge scales were suddenly missing a piece!

It's as if he was pulled out by life.

Seeing this scene, all the archaeological team members were shocked.

Due to the limited environment at that time, we simply did not have so much time and conditions to carry out any systematic protection and excavation.

So when someone suggests that we pull out a scale and take it back to study, it can be regarded as an explanation to the above.

We had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, the corpse of that huge giant beast has countless scales on its body, and one or two less should not be nothing......

With this in mind, we used the iron tongs we had brought with us to clamp a piece of scale next to the gap.

Immediately, I and a few male team members finally pulled out the scales with great effort.

And just when I was holding the huge scales with a diameter of more than one meter, I was curious to observe with the archaeological team members.

In an instant, the entire ice cave shook violently!

A distant hum that seemed to come from antiquity immediately resounded throughout the entire iceberg!

Seeing this, we desperately tried to run back to the exit of the shaft.

However, in the next moment, the huge body full of scales suddenly spread out a white light!

And where it passed, all the archaeological team members were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant!

And that includes my new wife, I'm sorry for her......"

Speaking of this, Qi Heqing suddenly shed muddy tears, and his expression was extremely sad.

Hearing this, everyone in the warehouse was already stunned, and they were shocked!

Who would have thought that sixty years ago, such an incredible thing would happen, it is so unbelievable!

"Then, Elder Qi, how did you escape in the end?"

Gao Qinghua asked dumbfounded.

"Needless to say, of course it's because of the scales. ”

Wu You pointed to the thing hanging on the wall and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Qi Heqing suppressed it slightly, and the guilt for his wife in his heart, he nodded with tears and said:

"General Wu is right, it was because I was holding that scale, so I was not killed by the white light, but my legs were still frozen and necrocuted.

After struggling to climb to the mouth of the shaft, he was pulled up by a rope.

And when I carried the scale in my arms, followed the troops from the violently shaking giant iceberg, and evacuated by boat.

The huge iceberg, which was originally huge, suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea and was never seen again!"
