Zhou Shuwan also saw the scene she had just perceived using space.

Just like before, shock, horror, surprise...

Then there is a kind of fear!

Even such a large group of whales could be instantly frozen and cracked by the ice, which shows how dangerous it was when the entire ocean was frozen!

How lucky they are, humans who seem so small in front of whales, to be protected by islands and mother ships!

Major Wei obviously had the same idea. Looking at the whale group that was still dozens of meters deep, he was speechless for a long time!

"This, this is... a school of whales..."

“It’s incredible…”

The crew members murmured to themselves, their voices filled with disbelief.

Major Wei's expression also became solemn. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our trip this time was not in vain!"

"If we can get all these whales back, we will have so much more food!"

After coming back to their senses from the shock, this was the first thought that shone in everyone's mind!

However, they were still dozens of meters away from the group of whales!

It took them a lot of effort to dig half the depth!

They have spent several hours since they started digging.

"Don't be impatient, brothers, let's stop and have a meal on board. We can continue working after we have eaten and replenished our energy!"

Major Wei gave the order.

Although they were reluctant to leave, everyone was really tired and hungry at this time, so they stopped what they were doing and climbed up to the shore using the ladders and ropes.

When walking towards the fishing boat, Major Wei looked up at the sky. It was indeed a clear and dark day, which was rare in these days.

He was in high spirits, but as the captain of a ship after all, his face was still very serious, and outsiders could not see any clues.

It was too cold outside and people had to take off their masks to eat, so although they were worried about the whales, all the crew members still got on the boat and had dinner.

While eating, they considered whether to use the ship's bombs, torpedoes and other weapons to help with the explosion.

But after careful consideration, Major Wei rejected the proposal.

They have already caused great damage to the stability of the ice field. If another explosion occurs, they will not be able to control the intensity and direction of the explosion.

If this entire area collapses, the huge group of whales will continue to sink to the seabed, and they, along with their ships and people, may also be buried under the huge ice sheet.

Zhou Shuwan also nodded secretly.

She can see the bottom of the ocean better than anyone else.

The force of slowly chiseling is just right, otherwise it would be very easy for the ice to collapse.

After a short rest, everyone started digging again with various tools.

Major Wei urged everyone to be extremely careful.

As the icebreaking operation progressed, the ice layer was gradually broken open, revealing deeper ice.

The crew controlled the tools carefully, fearing that any mistake would cause the ice to collapse.

Time passed minute by minute, and after working tirelessly for several days and nights, the outlines of the whale group under the ice gradually became clearer.

The huge whale trunks are wrapped in ice, with different postures, as if they are giant beasts sleeping in the ice.

Everyone suppressed their excitement and operated the tools in their hands more carefully.

The ice gradually cracked under the action of the tools, revealing more of the whale's body.

Zhou Shuwan stood aside, his fingers lightly touching the ice surface, and lowered his eyes.

She seemed to be able to feel the vitality and vigor that the frozen beasts once had, but now they could only sleep silently under the ice.

Others were actually also shocked by this huge loss of life!

Someone whispered, "How do you think they got frozen here?"

Someone replied, "Maybe they tried to escape when the sea temperature dropped suddenly, but ultimately they couldn't outrun the ice. They were trapped here, frozen in an instant, without even a chance to struggle."

Finally, as the ice continued to break, the shiny dark skin of the whale gradually emerged. It was a deep and ancient black, as if it contained the secrets of the ancient ocean.

These whales vary in size, some only a few meters long, but their well-preserved state shocked everyone.

The first thing to emerge was a relatively small whale weighing only a few dozen tons.

The crew members used it to practice first.

They first carefully hoisted the whale using pulleys and ropes.

A heavy object weighing dozens of tons is suspended hundreds of meters in the air. If you are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous.

This is a delicate job performed on the ice. Everyone is on edge and sweat soaks through their thick winter clothes.

"Steady! Steady!"

“Be careful! Be careful!”

From time to time someone would remind me.

On the ice field, everyone else held their breath, their eyes closely following the gradually rising whale.

There was complete silence all around, with only the sounds of the pulley turning and ice chips falling.

The desolation of the ice field contrasts sharply with the intensity of the work. The scene is like a black and white painting, revealing a sense of solemnity and expectation.

When the first whale was completely hoisted onto the deck, the crowd finally burst into cheers, and the long-suppressed excitement instantly gushed out.

People high-fived each other, their faces filled with unconcealable smiles, and the fatigue and coldness seemed to be diluted by this sudden joy.

The whale, completely hoisted up, was fully revealed to everyone for the first time. Its huge body lay stiffly on the ice, and its originally smooth skin was covered with a layer of pale frost, like a frozen reef.

The dorsal fin drooped limply, with fine ice chips on the edge. The tail fin, which once could draw a graceful arc in the water, now looked like a piece of frozen rubber, firmly embedded in the ice.

His eyes were tightly shut, the skin around them frozen tight and devoid of its usual luster.

This whale seemed to have just awakened from the deep sea, and was presented intact in front of everyone, which was breathtaking.

There is absolutely no sign of decay on it, and it is preserved in an exceptionally good condition, as if time had frozen at that moment.

After the surprise, everyone stood aside and watched everything silently.

Looking at the whale crawling on the ice field, they seemed to be able to feel the pain that this group of whales had experienced when struggling in the cold sea water before being frozen!

There are many more marine creatures that have not been discovered by humans!

It would be very difficult to lift all the whales to the surface of the sea.

It took them a lot of time to catch this little whale.

So, after catching two more whales, Major Wei saw that it was getting late, already past two o'clock in the morning, so he ordered to stop fishing and let everyone go back to the boat to rest.

Because at this time, they had dug the surrounding ice field into a thousand-meter-deep abyss, which was extremely dangerous.

So, Major Wei ordered the fishing boat to move forward for a distance before letting people return to the boat.
