Chapter 137

Chen Mo looked at the data displayed on the tablet in his hand. The thickness of the ice layer, the depth at which the plane had sunk, and the damage to the plane were all clearly displayed.

After grasping the situation of the Valkyrie Goddess, Chen Mo directly stored the tablet into the dimensional space, turned around, and walked towards the ice cliff at the junction of the ice field and the sea.

"Go back first, everything will proceed according to the plan."

Chen Mo said as he walked forward.

"Yes! Sir! "

Hardedef immediately stood up and replied.

Under his watchful eyes, Chen Mo strode to the ice cliff, swept a glance at the sea surface that was scattered with a large number of ice floes, and then directly leaped forward, jumping down from the ice cliff that was over 20 meters tall.

"Plop!"

Chen Mo's falling body accurately avoided the scattered floating ice and fell into the cold sea, splashing high waves.

Seeing Chen Mo jump down the ice cliff, Hardedef's dark expression did not change. He directly followed Chen Mo's order and returned to board the fighter.

The opened cockpit shield slowly closed, and the Hydra fighter's engine once again ejected light blue flames. The snow on the ground was blown up by the strong airflow, dancing in the air.

The Hydra fighter slowly left the ground and began to accelerate into the air. Soon, it rose to a height of tens of meters, turned the nose of the fighter, and headed in the direction from which it came.

Then, the vertical thrusters at the tail of the fighter slowly rotated backward, at the same time ejecting more intense flames, propelling the fighter forward. Soon, it flew into the sky and disappeared.

At this moment, Chen Mo, who had fallen into the sea, continued to dive downward along the ice cliff.

Under the seawater, the huge blue glacier was like a majestic giant wall, extending endlessly to both sides, blocking the seawater outside the ice wall.

The bottom of the ice wall extended toward the depths of the sea. Chen Mo followed the ice layer and dived for close to 20 meters before he finally reached the bottom of the ice layer.

Stopping his dive, Chen Mo changed his direction and swam toward the ice sheet. Being under the ice sheet, it was like being in an upside-down world. The rugged ice surface was like a rugged land, occupying Chen Mo's entire field of vision. There was no end to it at a glance.

Chen Mo's body was like a fish swimming through the seawater, swimming toward the depths of the ice sheet at an extremely fast speed.

In fact, to ordinary people, Chen Mo's current actions were extremely dangerous.

The ice sheet above his head was tens of meters thick, making it impossible for him to float to the surface of the sea. If he wanted to come out of the water to breathe, he would have to go back the way he came. Therefore, the deeper he went into the ice sheet, the greater the danger.

It wasn't just the increase in distance. The world under the ice layer was monotonous and vast. Without a point of reference, it was very easy to get lost underwater. When he wanted to retreat, he would find that he couldn't find the way back. Instead, he would have to swim further and further away until he ran out of oxygen and suffocated to death underwater.

Even if he didn't lose his way, he had to return when there was enough oxygen. If he went too deep into the ice sheet and only returned when he realized that there was insufficient oxygen, he might not be able to persist until he swam out of the ice sheet and suffocated to death on the way back.

However, Chen Mo had long since prepared for this. Not to mention his powerful physique, which was enough to support him underwater for a long period of time, the space had also specially prepared enough oxygen cylinders in case of emergencies, enough to ensure that he had an adequate supply of oxygen.

After swimming for a few hundred meters under the ice sheet, the monotonous scene finally changed. A large black metal body appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.

"The Valkyrie Goddess!"

Back then, Chen Mo had piloted the Valkyrie Goddess to crash near a glacier, sinking into the sea and being sealed in ice.

However, it wasn't completely encased in ice. As Chen Mo could see now, an incomparably huge, over 30 meters long wing extended diagonally from the ice sheet above, stabbing into the sea below.

This was a part of the incomparably huge wing of the Valkyrie Goddess.

After discovering his target, Chen Mo immediately swam towards the wing.

After swimming a few laps around the wing that was as huge as a tall building, Chen Mo quickly found a damaged hole at the bottom of the wing.

Taking out a waterproof flashlight from the space, Chen Mo turned on the switch. A bright and dazzling light beam shot out from the flashlight, instantly brightening up the originally slightly dim space by a lot.

After that, without any hesitation, Chen Mo directly swam towards the hole and entered it.

The dark interior of the plane was illuminated by the light beam from the flashlight, allowing Chen Mo to clearly see the scene in front of him.

The inside of the wing had already been filled with seawater, and a huge steel frame crisscrossed, supporting the wing.

Chen Mo passed through the sturdy steel frame and entered the interior of the plane, swimming along the passage towards the cabin above.

Soon, Chen Mo was blocked by an ice wall, and above this ice wall was the cabin of the Valkyrie Goddess.

With his path blocked, Chen Mo had no choice but to temporarily stop.

At this time, it had been a few minutes since Chen Mo jumped into the sea. Although he did not feel that he was lacking oxygen and could continue for a while, Chen Mo still took out an oxygen tank from the space to replenish the oxygen in his body.

Putting away the oxygen tank, Chen Mo once again raised his head to look at the layer of ice above him. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, and the Ruler's Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

Next, Chen Mo began to chisel through the ice. Under the incomparably sharp Ruler's Sword, the hard ice was shaved off piece by piece like tofu, after which Chen Mo stored it in the space. Very quickly, he dug out a passage with a diameter of more than a meter, and continued to go deeper into the ice layer.

This layer of ice inside the Valkyrie Goddess was very thick. Chen Mo kept digging for nearly ten meters before he finally reached the end.

As Chen Mo chopped off a large piece of ice with his sword, the passage was finally broken through. However, above this thick layer of ice, there was no seawater.

When the Valkyrie Goddess had sunk into the sea, the overall sealing of the plane did not suffer too much damage. Seawater flowed into the plane through the damaged wings and other parts, but it did not fill up the entire plane. Instead, it formed an air chamber above the cabin.

After the plane was frozen in the layer of ice, the seawater below the air chamber froze as well, forming the ice wall that Chen Mo had encountered earlier, completely sealing off the cabin.

Seeing that the passage had been broken through, Chen Mo put away the Sword of Kings, climbed out of the hole, and entered the cabin.

The strong light from the flashlight illuminated the cabin. Chen Mo carefully looked around, and after confirming his location, he stepped on the smooth ice surface and walked in a certain direction.

Arriving at the edge of the ice surface, what appeared before Chen Mo was a slope of nearly 30 degrees. This was the original floor of the cabin, but because the plane had sunk into the sea, the body of the plane was tilted, with one wing raised and the other sinking, the floor of the cabin had formed a slope of about 30 degrees.

After being frozen in the sea for 70 years, a thick layer of ice had formed on the cabin walls and floor. Coupled with the slope caused by the tilt of the plane, it wasn't easy to walk, but it wasn't difficult for the agile Chen Mo.

But he didn't go straight ahead, and instead stopped in front of the slope.

Chen Mo took off his soaked combat suit and put it into his dimensional space. He then changed into the Adamantium armor and a black combat suit that had traces of battle on it. He also put on the M1911 pistol, vibranium shield, and other equipment, completely restored to the state when he left.

After confirming that he hadn't missed anything, Chen Mo stepped onto the slope and walked along the passage to the control room of the Valkyrie Goddess.

The tilted icy ground still affected Chen Mo's speed, and it took him a few minutes to finally reach the control room.

It wasn't much different from the scene on the way here. The entire control room was also completely covered in frost. The trap that Baron Straker had set to trap him was still there, but the original steel cage had now become an ice cage, and the few steel pillars that he had cut off were also frozen to the ground.

After sizing up this familiar yet strange environment, Chen Mo carefully walked to the control panel.

The spacious pilot's seat was also covered in a thick layer of frost.

Chen Mo cleaned the frost on the seat and put it into his dimensional space, then sat down.

Next, Chen Mo took out a black box the size of a backpack from his dimensional space and casually threw it into the air.

After it was thrown into the air and about a meter away from Chen Mo, a blue light spot suddenly lit up on top of the box. Immediately after that, its four corners quickly extended outwards, and four arms stretched out.

At the same time, the ends of the four arms also began to eject light blue flames, pushing it steadily to float in the air.

It turned out to be a small folding aircraft.

After throwing the aircraft out, Chen Mo took out a tablet computer from his dimensional space and started to operate it.

Under Chen Mo's control, the aircraft that was floating in the air turned around and flew back along the route it came from. Soon, it returned to the top of the ice cave that Chen Mo had chiseled.

Following Chen Mo's command, a scanning device slowly extended from the bottom of the aircraft, and it emitted a red light net that swept the ground below.

After that, a folded mechanical arm extended from the front of the aircraft. After the mechanical arm unfolded, it extended toward the ice cave below.

In just a few minutes after Chen Mo left, the seawater in the ice cave started to freeze again. At this time, a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface, but it was slightly lower than the original ice surface.

The slender mechanical arm of the aircraft extended to the point where the thin layer of ice and the surface of the ice met. The front end began to eject a gust of white cold air. After coming into contact with the thin layer of ice, it rapidly condensed on the surface, gradually increasing its thickness until it was level with the surrounding ice surface.

After that, the mechanical arm continued to move on the ice cave, and soon, the entire ice cave was repaired and leveled, becoming level with the surrounding ice surface.

However, it did not stop there. Following that, the cold air ejected from the front end of the mechanical arm changed. It directly condensed into frost in the air and sprinkled on the new ice surface.
