Watching the ball of light ascend into the sky, Yang Lin, who had a similar experience before, was not too surprised.
He had a premonition that he would soon see the Emperor Mammoth reborn.
Thinking of this, he once again looked at the mammoth carcass before him.
Visibly, this carcass was different from before.
Although the previous mammoth carcass was frozen in ice, its appearance was largely the same as when it was alive, and even its eyes still held a light, as if it were alive.
But the current mammoth carcass no longer felt alive; it had transformed from a living being into an object.
After looking at it a couple more times, Yang Lin's gaze shifted to the side branches.
He had a strange feeling that there was more than just this one unlucky mammoth here.
With this thought in mind, he quickly began exploring the surroundings with his flashlight.
Five minutes later, he discovered the second mammoth carcass.
Ten minutes later, he found the third and fourth mammoth carcasses.
Twenty minutes later, he had already found eight mammoth carcasses in succession.
They varied in size.
Considering the herd's living habits, he could basically conclude that this was a mammoth herd led by a matriarch.
However, due to the matriarch's wrong guidance, the entire herd had been frozen here.
This place had now become a mammoth graveyard.
Once the ice field completely thawed, it would soon be exposed to public view.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin felt a sense of regret.
But he couldn't take these mammoth carcasses away.
So, he finally made a decision: to hand over all these mammoth carcasses to the state.
After all, the specific ownership of this ice field was still in dispute internationally, and in theory, it belonged to all of humanity.
As China was a member of humanity, it naturally had the right to dispose of these mammoth carcasses.
With this thought, he immediately made another video call to Teacher Xiao Liang.
Thanks to the signal base station built by China here, the video call was connected smoothly.
When Teacher Xiao Liang saw the dark background on Yang Lin's end, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Oh, Director Yang, shouldn't it be polar day where you are? Why is it dark already?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lin followed up with:
"I suggest you immediately call the main leaders of the expedition team over. I have something important to report, and your level is slightly insufficient."
Hearing Yang Lin's words abruptly, Teacher Xiao Liang immediately laughed.
"What is it that my level isn't enough for? Did you discover another new species on Greenland?"
"But even so, there's no need to alarm the top leaders, is there?"
Despite Teacher Xiao Liang's teasing, Yang Lin's expression remained serious.
"It's not exactly a new species, but I hope you'll stand firm for a moment."
As he spoke, Yang Lin turned on his flashlight, and the phone camera moved along with it.
When the camera moved to Yang Lin's side with the light, the previously frozen mammoth carcass filled the entire screen.
Teacher Xiao Liang, who had been smiling, instinctively stepped back a couple of paces upon seeing the mammoth carcass.
It took him several seconds before he exclaimed:
"Holy hell, holy hell! That's a mammoth, it's not alive, is it? Director Yang, where did you get it?"
"Do you have some kind of strange buff that makes you run into bizarre animals wherever you go?"
Just as Teacher Xiao Liang expressed his shock, Yang Lin proceeded to display the other mammoth carcasses one by one.
Every time a mammoth carcass appeared, Teacher Xiao Liang's expression changed.
By the time the last mammoth carcass was shown, he could no longer remain calm.
Trembling, he started to move away from the camera.
"You wait here, I'll go find those top leaders right now."
"Don't hang up, wait for me!"
With that, he disappeared in a flash.
When he reappeared, a group of expedition team bigwigs were following him.
After the bigwigs arrived, Yang Lin once again displayed the mammoth carcasses.
Even these seasoned leaders in the scientific community were no different from Yang Lin when they saw these mammoth carcasses.
Other than shock, there was only shock.
With little deliberation, Academician Li Nanhua of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the leader of the expedition team, ordered the research vessel to sail towards Greenland at maximum speed.
They wanted to excavate this mammoth graveyard before other countries.
If possible, they even wanted to transport all these mammoth carcasses back to China without anyone noticing.
Of course, this was basically impossible; the moment they landed, they would immediately attract attention from other countries.
Therefore, in addition to accelerating the icebreaker, they also sent a distress signal to their home country.
Less than half an hour after they sent out the distress signal, the President of Bear Country received a phone call.
Not long after the call ended, a fleet from Bear Country, docked at a port in the Arctic Ocean, set course for Greenland.
Naturally, Yang Lin was unaware of this series of events.
He didn't need to know about matters at this level.
Having obtained the virus samples and reported the incident, there was no longer any reason for him to stay.
Half an hour later, he returned to the Inuit village by snowmobile.
Four hours later, the icebreaker Xuelong, flying the Chinese flag, docked at the port closest to the Inuit people.
Clearly, in order to be the first to reach the mammoth graveyard, they had also gone into overdrive at sea.
Upon the arrival of the Xuelong, the accompanying medical team immediately headed to the Inuit village where Yang Lin was located.
After receiving the original virus samples provided by Yang Lin, the medical team quickly began their research.
To Yang Lin's surprise and delight, the expert team deciphered the virus information in just half an hour.
It took them another hour to develop a specific agent to inhibit the virus.
After Yang Dad was injected with the inhibitory agent, the infection in his leg began to improve at a visible rate. Seeing this, Yang Lin let out a long sigh of relief and turned to thank Professor Huang beside him.
"Thank you, Professor Huang. If it weren't for you, my father's leg might not have been saved."
Upon hearing Yang Lin's thanks, Professor Huang smiled slightly.
"Director Yang, you are too kind. Director Yang, you have made such a significant contribution to our country's scientific expedition this time, it is we who should thank you."
"The contribution of our entire team is not as great as yours."
After saying this, he suddenly added.
"By the way, although your father's leg infection has been contained, I still recommend a comprehensive examination for him."
"It would be best to have your mother accompany him."
Yang Lin had no objections to Professor Huang's suggestion.
However, to his surprise, not long after Yang Dad and Yang Mom were taken to the medical vehicle for examination, the expert in charge of the examination informed Yang Lin of a piece of news.
"Director Yang, your father's injury is currently not a major problem, but your mother's health still has a slight issue."
When Yang Lin received this news, his mind went completely blank.
