Chapter 222
Although the system only provided a tiny hint, it made him think for a moment that he had misread it.
Basilosaurus?
A whale!
To think there is a whale in the desert!
It is simply inconceivable.
No wonder it looked like a cylinder.
So it was a spine!
Fang Yang finally understood, but what he didn't understand was why there would be whale fossils in the desert.
Could it be that this place was an ocean many years ago?
Another possibility is that this fossil was accidentally brought into the desert by someone.
But regardless, this thing cannot be left here.
Fang Yang picked up the fossil from the ground and walked toward the police officer.
Before he could speak, the cameraman hurriedly asked, "Brother, what is that you're holding?"
"A fossil!"
"A fossil?"
The crowd let out a gasp.
They couldn't help but examine the fossil.
But no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't tell what kind of fossil it was.
The foreman also asked curiously, "This doesn't look like an animal's, could it be a plant fossil?"
Fang Yang smiled, "This is indeed an animal fossil, it's just that this is only a part of it!"
Now they were even more confused; they couldn't understand at all!
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a whale fossil, and it's an extinct whale called a Basilosaurus!"
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Digging up a whale fossil in the desert is simply a tall tale.
But looking at Fang Yang's expression, he didn't seem to be fooling them.
One by one, they didn't know what to say.
Fang Yang handed the fossil to the police officer, "This thing must be taken back. I'm not sure yet if this fossil was brought here by someone or if it was originally here. If it's the latter, then it's highly likely there are other fossils here!"
The police officer hurriedly took the fossil and nodded solemnly.
Although they didn't know if this was a fossil, since Fang Yang said so, it must be.
The most important thing is that if there are other fossils underneath, that would count as a shocking discovery.
A large whale fossil appearing in the desert.
You don't need to think to know what a sensation it would cause.
By then, countless people will definitely come to study this desert and the fossils.
And they are the witnesses to these fossils emerging from the sand.
Fang Yang sat back in the driver's cab and continued to dig.
After digging for a while, at the same depth where the fossil was found, he dug up another piece of the spine.
This time, without waiting for him to speak, the police officer immediately rushed up and took it out of the sand.
Everyone was too nervous to speak.
The second one has already come out.
Is the third one far behind?
Sure enough!
Before long, there was another piece of the spine.
Everyone was already numb.
Judging by the current state, it is highly likely that a complete whale fossil is buried underneath.
【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....
——【Invincible, Fang Yang is truly worthy of the name. Even digging up a whale fossil in the desert is a thing he does. By the way, how did he know it was a whale fossil? Just by looking at a bone, he could distinguish it, and it's an extinct animal at that. This is too inconceivable!】
——【I thought digging up some first-class protected animals was already awesome, but now it seems that was just his warm-up. Once he gets into the zone, the things he digs up are terrifying. But fortunately, I can be considered an old fan, so my heart is relatively strong. Even if he digs up a rocket in the desert later, I won't be surprised.】
——【If a whole whale is really dug up, doesn't that mean this place was actually an ocean a long time ago? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. It's hard to imagine how the ocean of that time turned into today's desert. The contrast is really too great. I really don't know if it's because of humans or the evolution of nature itself.】
——【Is it possible that this is not a whale fossil, but a snake fossil, a Titanoboa? I saw that snake fossil in a museum last time; it was really too long. It couldn't even fit in a room and had to be coiled up. It was at least 20 meters long, and its spine looked very similar to the one Fang Yang dug up.】
As time passed, more and more spine bones were discovered.
Fang Yang stopped the excavator and did not continue digging.
Instead, he got down and looked at the police officer, "It's basically confirmed now that there is a complete whale fossil underneath. Continuing to dig will easily damage the fossil, so I'd better let professionals come and handle it. Anyway, it's already noon, let's go eat first!"
The police officer nodded, "Alright, Xiao Zhang will drive you to eat. We won't go; we'll stay here and keep watch."
Fang Yang nodded, "Okay, I'll bring you some food in a while!"
Immediately after, he took out his phone and made a call to Zhao Hua.
When the call was connected, Zhao Hua made a surprised sound.
"Eh!! Fang Yang, you're actually calling me? What a rare guest!"
Fang Yang smiled, "It's because I found a fossil, so I'm calling you to come and take it away!"
"That sounds great. Where are you, and what kind of fossil is it this time!"
"Uh... I don't have any buildings here, I'm in the desert... The fossil should be a Basilosaurus!"
"Holy crap! Really? Don't scare me!"
Zhao Hua was stunned; digging up a Basilosaurus in the desert.
It's not that he didn't believe Fang Yang, but anyone would think it's impossible.
Fang Yang guessed he would be like this and said with a smile, "It's true. I've already dug up more than a dozen spine bones. I'm using an excavator and I'm afraid of damaging it, otherwise, I would have dug it up myself. I'll send you the location, hurry up and bring people over to handle it!"
"Okay, I'll bring people over immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yang shook his head with a smile.
He didn't know if he was unlucky or lucky to encounter such bizarre things.
After sending the location to Zhao Hua, he followed the police car to the city to eat.
Just as they entered the suburban road, he could see his own photos hanging on the streetlights on both sides.
Looking at this scene, Fang Yang felt a bit strange.
They chose a nearby restaurant to eat.
As a result, as soon as they went in, they were recognized by the boss.
"Are you... Fang Yang? Holy crap! Come in and sit down quickly!"
Fang Yang was left dumbfounded by the boss's enthusiasm.
"What do you want to eat? Order whatever you want, it's on me today!"
Now, not only Fang Yang, but the police officer and the cameraman were also stunned.
This is too awesome; someone is treating them to a meal just by finding a random place to eat.
Fang Yang smiled awkwardly, "That... no need to treat us, I'll pay!"
Who would have thought the boss would wave his hand, "How can that be? Our business has been very good recently, all thanks to you. Treating you to a meal is the least I can do. If others find out you came to my place to eat and I still charged you, wouldn't they beat me to death!"
"This..." Fang Yang was stunned.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll make you a few of my signature dishes, wait a moment!"
Watching the boss run off to cook in high spirits.
The cameraman and the police officer stared at Fang Yang in a daze.
"Brother, you have too much face! There are even people fighting to treat you to a meal!"
"Cough cough! ~ Your brother is too handsome, it's a worry!"
The police officer looked at him with disdain.
Twenty minutes later, a table full of dishes was brought into the private room.
At a glance, they were full of color, aroma, and taste; the boss must have put a lot of effort into it.
