I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 465 - Antarctic Continent

In Antarctica, an icebreaker with flags of various countries was coasting through the frozen crust, leaving a channel of water in its wake.

Above the sky, there were planes flying and surveying the place.

“Captain, why are there suddenly so many icebreakers going to Antarctica? Is this some kind of important mission? Or has something mysterious been found there?”

A crew member on an icebreaker asked the captain excitedly.

He was standing inside the captain’s cabin and looked around. At the age of twenty, he was still curious about everything, especially when supernatural events began to occur. Many young people had dreams of reaching the sky, and so did this young man, who was chattering happily and even began to imagine that there was some mysterious item waiting for the right person on the continent of Antarctica. Perhaps said the person was him.

But the captain’s words made him wilt.

“Your authority level is not enough. There are some things that are not for you to know.”

The captain of the icebreaker also barely had enough level to be able to transport supplies to the Antarctic.

A month ago, there was an extraterrestrial meteorite that descended and almost destroyed the human race on Earth.

For ordinary people, that extraterrestrial event was already over, but for people in the know, they knew that Earth’s suffering had just begun.

The captain of the icebreaker was someone who had only recently learned the details of past developments. For example, he knew that the big fuss in Los Angeles a month ago was caused by one of those fragments that fell on Earth. He also learned that there was more than one piece which made him vaguely afraid.

This news needed to be kept a secret from the general public, but the governments could not turn a blind eye. The United Nations was now hoping that the remaining fragments would not transform into monsters and that even if they did, that they would be easier to handle than Typhon.

The only good news was that an angel was recently born on Earth during Christ’s ascension. This made everyone know that even ordinary humans could obtain superhuman-like powers. The existence of an angel had also given people some confidence.

The fragments scattered by the asteroid were being monitored by governments all over the world, especially by the countries that were close to the fragments. They were nervous that they would one day become monsters.

But one was already a headache for all countries even if nothing had happened yet because it fell on Antarctica. Having no choice, countries joined together and set up a monitoring station in the Antarctic continent to put the fragment under surveillance.

“Let’s head to the Great Wall Station to report, and then we’ll go to the new UN base.”

The captain instructed and parted ways with the other ships that were riding together in these icy waters, heading first to the Chinese base in Antarctica.

……

“Be careful, these instruments cost tens of millions of dollars. Don’t break them.”

“Check the signal.”

“The polar night in Antarctica is really troublesome. We can only rely on light.”

“Quickly, we have to get to base today.”

“......”

On a wide open area in Antarctica, people from all over the world were busy completing the infrastructure work of the base under the leadership of Chinese engineers.

The UN research base in Antarctica was being managed by five permanent members. It was set up as quickly as possible after the meeting. Other than monitoring the piece of meteorite that fell in Antarctica, they were also here to study the uninhabited continent of Antarctica.

In the past, major countries with the ability to do so had established research stations in Antarctica. During that time, they were doing their research separately, but this time, the various countries had pooled their funds to establish the largest and best technological research institute in Antarctica.

“Honestly, if only there was an airport here for planes to deliver heavy equipment, we would have finished the job two days earlier.”

The lead researcher from China walked up to one of the Americans and complained.

“Hey, at the very least we’re done for today, aren’t we? Wang, we’re going to go to the crash site of the meteorite next and place the instruments there for monitoring.”

The American researcher patted the soldier of his Chinese friend. The two of them went to seek their fellow researchers from other countries. After loading the instruments and the weapons on the snowmobile, they rode towards their destination.

This institute was a hundred kilometers away from the meteorite fall site. They had been afraid to build their base too close as if the meteorite ended up turning into a monster one day, it would destroy the research institute immediately.

After more than an hour, the research team arrived at the fall site.

“Incredible. Rather than blowing away a chunk of earth, it seems to have bored through it directly.”

The fragment had created a whole of about ten meters in diameter but imperceptible depth.

Other staff members quickly calibrated the instruments and began to send unmanned robots to bring small monitoring instruments into the crater. This was done in order to monitor the dynamics of the meteorite at any time.

A drone was flown into the crater with its lights

“Meteorite location, seven hundred and sixty meters underground.”

This meteorite fragment shone with faint purple light and continued seductive demon power. People were unconsciously addicted to it.

“Do not look at images of the meteorite. There might be curses and other terrible things inside.

Hearing the reminder of the person beside him, the controller driving the robot snapped back to his senses. He fearfully and carefully controlled the robot to turn the camera. Then he skillfully manipulated the robot to install the instrument.

Suddenly, another operator beside this person shouted in shock, “Jesus Christ, you guys need to see this. Look at the results of the geological scan!!”

The researchers quickly gathered around the screen.

“How is it possible that there is a building underground in Antarctica?!”

“No, look at the surroundings of the building. Those are probably ruins. There’s probably a whole underground city!”

“The building looks like some kind of temple?”

“Could there have been humans living here in Antarctica? And even built cities underground?”

“It’s also possible that it was built above ground and then sunk underground for some reason.”

“The temple-like building seems to be intact, but all other buildings around had already collapsed.”

“Send this information back to the UN! I’m afraid that this is an archeological discovery that will shock the world!”

An expert shouted excitedly.

“No, it could also be related to another supernatural power.”
