Chapter 193: Keep Going
Chapter 193 continues downward
"What's the difference about that headdress? I think it's just an ordinary snail shell, huh? I said.
"It seems that you don't study the shellfish collection very much, and I don't blame you, that kind of collection is too niche. The most expensive shell in the world is the dragon palace shell, also known as the Weng Rong snail, which is a living fossil called the nautilus. This shell is very rare and gorgeous, but the one that you carry on your head glows golden at night. But I don't know exactly what the origin of this shell is, what its function is, and why it has become a symbol of the royal patriarch of the merman family. Ji Ziyang said.
"But you see, Xuan was sealed in this ice, and this ice was not buried for a long time, so will there still be mermaids, but we don't know?" I'm still not giving up, I'd rather believe that this merman still exists, but it's hiding somewhere we can't find it.
"I said that it can't be a reason, the reason why Yingzheng was able to find most of the sharks in the first place was not luck, but that he mastered the living habits of the sharks. The merman can only live in the water with very good water quality, although the rivers, lakes and seas have not been polluted at that time, but the water quality has begun to change, and the merman has to migrate many times to find a suitable place to live. The merman's burning skin and multicolored scales are actually very fragile in the water, and once the water is polluted, their skin begins to rot and the scales fall off. So Ying Zheng only needs to follow those clear water sources to find them. The current water quality is no longer suitable for the survival of sharks. Sharks can also live on land, but it doesn't take long for them to return to the water. Otherwise, the skin will crack and die, and living on land will also affect the life span of the merman, but even so, they still repeatedly send the merman ashore, just to find a way for the merman to survive on land for a long time, but apparently they did not find it. When I saw Xuan, except for Xuan, the skin of the other sharks had already festered, and they were desperate at that time. Ji Ziyang said.
"What a bitter race." I say.
"It can't be said that any race has to face the survival of the fittest, and the mermaids cannot adapt to the changes in the environment. Even if there is no Yingzheng. It was only a matter of time before they were wiped out. Ji Ziyang said.
"That's the case, but why is Hyun still growing up and being frozen here?" I asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence. Or maybe she already has someone's secret hidden in her heart. Ji Ziyang said and floated in front of the huge ice cube again. He began to examine the corpse of Xuan inside. Yuan Ru has already transferred the ice bullet train. It's still the old rule, only Dazhe and Uncle Lu are the ones who do it, and all the workers who should be allowed to enter the scientific research site. Uncle Lu drove the crane and slowly put the ice into the freezer, and now it's finally fine, I thought to myself, just waiting to be sent to the Central Ministry of Science and Technology Security for processing. Ji Ziyang drove away with the frozen car, the expression on his face was very complicated, I couldn't tell what kind of expression it was, did it think of the exterminated merman clan through Xuan, and then thought of his own family.
"Yin Yin, come and take a look." Yun Ximing suddenly came over to me and said that the place he was pointing to was a corner at the bottom of the whole big pit, and I walked over to see that there was a crack there, like a crack that appeared after something had sunk.
"There's something down there." I say.
"So, what to do?" Yun Ximing asked.
"It's already dug like this, is it still this short, of course, digging." I say.
Originally, I thought that everyone had not been idle for a hundred days, but now it is time to rest and rest, who knows that everyone is full of energy. Because I don't know what is going on, I can't let Arrow do it rashly, there is no way, Arrow has to dig up like us. I thought I would dig some slabs or something like that this time, but no, I dug all the way down, and there was nothing, and the crack seemed to come out of nowhere.
"Yin Yin, do you think there is still a big ice lump buried down here, and what monsters are frozen inside?" Dazhe asked.
"I don't know, I haven't found the shadow of the slate until now, I guess not." I say.
"If I want to say that I still buried the body of a beautiful merman, it must still be very beautiful." Yun Ning said that it seems that girls are all the same, and they all have beautiful fantasies.
"If you want me to say that it might be another monster, the owner of this tomb may have a fetish for monsters, so he hid all the collected here." Yunxian analysis said.
"I think you're the one with this strange hobby." Yun Ximing joked.
"Yin Yin!" Over there, Yuan Ru and Sister Wang Na, as if they had discovered something, screamed, I hurried over to take a look, the two of them were digging the soil near the crack, digging deep, and a thing was exposed in the ground, I took a closer look, it was a human hand, it was not completely unearthed, all they saw was fingernails.
"Out of the way, dead man, dead through." I comforted, called Yun Ximing, and got up, the two of us are relatively experienced, and the corpse soon revealed a large part, this is a middle-aged man, looking at the residual clothes on his body, this person should be a general, a person in the clearing period, which is consistent with the identity of the two princesses of the princess's tomb. I finally found something related to the Qing Dynasty.
However, to our surprise, this man's movements, he was lying sideways in the soil, or as if he was inserted diagonally in the soil, he held his head high and his hands up, I have seen such a burial method without a coffin, but I have never seen such a shape, and Yun Ximing also thought it was very strange.
"Why is this man like this? There are no coffins, and there are no coffins. Yun Ximing said suspiciously.
"And looking at the clothes, this is a general, and there is no weapon to be buried with him, which is the biggest insult to a general." I say.
"This man was buried alive." Yun Ximing said, "This posture looks like he tried to climb up when he was buried alive, but the soil was pushed down, and he was buried in it instantly, and many mudslides occurred in this way, and when many victims were found, they maintained the posture they had when they last tried to escape." ”
"This doesn't make sense, the body of the merman was protected very carefully, frozen in ice, and sealed with a stone box, but the body of a little-known little military general was buried underneath, and it was buried alive, which is a bit unreasonable, what is the origin of this general, it takes so much effort." I say.
"Maybe it's not a general?" Yun Ximing said and pointed below, the bones of the military general were almost exposed, but it could be clearly seen that under the general's body, another hand bone and three hands were exposed? If not a freak, then here's another person down there.
"There's another person down there, and this hand looks much smaller, like a woman's or a child's hand." I say.
"Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, dig it." Yun Ximing said.
"Yin Yin, let's eat something first." Sister Wang Na arranged dinner, I did feel a little hungry, the takeaway at noon seemed to have passed for a long time, we all finished work, and began to eat dinner in a circle.
The phone rang, and it was Dazhe calling.
"Hey, Dazhe?"
"Yin Yin, Lao Lu and I seem to have made a mistake...... Dazhe's voice sounded a little aggrieved on the phone, and he didn't know what had happened.
"What's wrong with you? What do you say slowly, Uncle Lu? Is something wrong with you? "Uncle Lu and Dazhe are responsible for sending the newly excavated body of Xuan to the Central Security Department, and I am also worried that something will go wrong.
"Yin girl, it's me." Uncle Lu took the phone, "The fat man and I have sent the things to the Central Security Department, but when we were about to load and unload, something went wrong, and the ice melted." Uncle Lu said embarrassedly.
"Melted? Isn't it delivered in a refrigerated truck? How does it melt away? Did the refrigerated car break down? Even if the car breaks down, the ice won't melt away so easily. I said.
"We checked it repeatedly, there is no problem with the refrigerated car, we are still driving at the coldest temperature, it has reached the quick-freeze, normal people will never stay in it, and it will freeze after a while. But the ice still melted away, and I don't know what happened, the ice was gone, and the ground was full of frost with condensed water vapor. Uncle said.
"What about the corpses?" I hurriedly asked.
"That's the problem, the corpse is decomposing very quickly now, I'll make a video of the situation and let the fat man send it to you."
After hanging up the phone, I received a video from Dazhe, and I could clearly see that Hyun's body had decomposed, and this process should have happened during the transportation process. But the corpse still did not stop decomposing, and in the extremely low temperature, it continued to decay, and finally turned into a skeleton without a lower body. The situation happened too quickly, Uncle Lu and the others were caught off guard, and a gorgeous corpse like Poor Xuan turned into a pile of broken bones like this.
"Uncle, there is no other way, you just hand over the remaining bones, and we will discuss it when we come back." I called to comfort my uncle and said. I showed everyone the video, and everyone was shocked.
"How can there be ice that melts faster when it's cold?" Sister Wang Na said sadly, she looked at her mobile phone, there were photos taken before, and her graceful posture could only be recalled by the pictures.
"Maybe it's not ice formed by water at all, and it's really inappropriate for us to use a frozen truck to transport it away without careful research." Yun Ximing said regretfully.
"What the hell is it? How did it melt so fast? Yun Xian asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's not the substance that exists now." I say.
"The substance of the artifact? If I had known that I had left a piece of ice just now, it might have research value. Yun Ximing said.
"It seems that this time, we underestimated the wisdom of the ancients." I say. (To be continued......)
