Colonize Alien

Cao Yu took the diamond-shaped obsidian from Bai Gang and took a closer look.

"It looks like it was made by hand, but the workmanship is very rough. It is estimated that the level of civilization here will not be very high."

"This kind of thing should be left to experts to judge, maybe it was something thousands of years ago."

Although Bai Gang said so, he knew the origin of this obsidian.

According to the memory of his previous life, he knew that this kind of obsidian was not uncommon in the valley north of Storm Cape. It was part of the coffins of outsiders, and there must be coffins where obsidian was found. The aborigines of the otherworlds also use coffins, as they do on Earth, but don't like to erect steles, replacing them with a diamond-shaped obsidian polished and engraved with heraldry or text.

According to the research of archaeologists, this diamond-shaped obsidian seems to be a status symbol. The higher the status of the deceased, the more detailed the diamond-shaped obsidian is polished, and the more complex and clear the family crest will be; on the contrary, if the deceased is a civilian, the diamond-shaped obsidian is usually only roughly polished and shaped, and some simple characters are carved.

For example, the one Bai Gang found was an obsidian belonging to commoners.

However, unlike other cheering people, Bai Gang, who took so much effort to come to the Bone Wilderness, certainly didn't want just such a piece of obsidian.

"Everyone is looking around to see if they can find anything else."

In fact, there was no need for Bai Gang's order at all, and the others had already started searching everywhere. However, the five people almost turned over the nearby ground and could not find anything of value, which made Bai Gang very strange. Generally speaking, civilians are not qualified to enter a formal cemetery, and most of them are buried in the wild at will. In the mass burial mound of China, the presence of obsidian means that there will be coffins nearby, but no traces of coffins have been found.

"Why not?"

The habit of outsiders is also to settle into the earth. Although the terrain here is lower, it is not a riverbed. Obsidian cannot be washed away by the current, so it is impossible to calculate the distance.

Bai Gang pondered, his eyes slowly drifted to the mound beside him, where there was a sign of collapse. He remembered that he had vaguely heard in his previous life that the tombs of nobles were all mound-shaped.

"Shouldn't it be here..."

Although the obsidian that I found doesn't look like it's owned by the nobles, there's nothing to lose if I dig it up.

Bai Gang picked up the shovel and slammed it on the mound where it collapsed. The soil on the surface of the mound had long been smashed by the rain. After a few shovels, a big hole was pulled out, revealing the black and rotten wooden boards inside.

"It really is here!"

Throwing down the shovel, he carefully checked the camera on the helmet responsible for recording—the helmets issued by the exploration troops have built-in cameras, which are specially responsible for recording videos. The video materials for such major discoveries are required to be as detailed as possible.

After confirming that there is no problem with the camera, Bai Gang began to clean up the surrounding soil.

The soil of the mound was smashed by the rain, and it was easy to clean up. It didn’t take long for the whole picture of the rotten planks erected on the side of the mound to appear in front of everyone’s eyes—a dent in the center that closely matched the obsidian but was empty. The origin of rhombus obsidian is clearly indicated.

Another major discovery, which should have been something to be happy about, but other than Bai Gang, no one else was happy at all.

"This thing...couldn't it be a coffin? It's so unlucky?" Zhou Baixue looked at the thing in front of him. From any angle, it looked like a coffin on Earth.

"At least I think so, do you want to open it?" Lei Yiming asked.

"I think it's better to take it back in its entirety." Cao Yu frowned and said, "A complete thing is definitely more valuable, but the problem is..."

Bai Gang replied frowningly, "But the question is how to bring it back in its entirety."

God knows how long this wooden board has been soaked in water, and the whole thing is already rotten. When I was cleaning the soil just now, I accidentally scraped the wood chips twice, and it fell down like snow. If it was moved, it would be almost impossible to transport it to the base completely.

In addition, the wooden board is only the lid of the coffin, and the body of the coffin is the sarcophagus, which is also the favorite material of the outsiders. The stone used varies according to the status before death. The nobles are all carved from a huge piece of stone, and the commoners are not so If you have a lot of financial resources, you will choose slate splicing or use clay to bond gravel pieces to make a sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus in front of me is made of spliced ​​pieces of stone. God knows how well it is glued together, and whether it will shatter when touched.

More importantly, if you guessed correctly, there should be a skeleton inside this sarcophagus, an undead skeleton that will regenerate into a skeleton soldier! Bai Gang didn't know how these undead were awakened in the first place. When he arrived in the other world in his previous life, there were already undead everywhere, but no matter how careful he was, there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhou Baixue got close to the board and tapped it twice, just this slight movement left a dent on it, which made her frown. There is no doubt that a complete coffin is more valuable than a pile of rubble and broken wood is a completely unnecessary question.

Really can't think of any safe way to move it, Zhou Baixue turned around and said to Bai Gang: "Sir, if there is really no way to move it, I suggest that the base send someone over to dig directly on the spot."

"This is the safest solution, but this **** storm interferes too much with wireless communication. If you want to contact the base as soon as possible, you have to go back to the supply station and use the wired network inside. I can't believe that the base has not yet connected the relay station. When it was completed, we were dispatched in a hurry, and we are really not afraid of accidents!"

Bai Gang still wants to bring the coffin back to the base directly instead of recruiting people. He is very aware of the dangers of this wilderness of bones! If there is no defense here, even the exploration troops may not be able to guarantee their own safety, not to mention those researchers who spend all day in the laboratory.

Cao Yu said: "Anyway, let's look around first and then look carefully. Maybe not only the coffin, but also some other funerary objects."

Lei Yiming found Bai Gang very unpleasant, but he still showed great respect for the hard-working and meticulous vice-captain Cao Yu.

"Yes, since there are coffins here, there must be other things."

After speaking, Cao Yu and Lei Yiming turned around and walked towards the armored vehicle, preparing to get some more tools down, and then Bai Gang and He Qi also followed.

Zhou Baixue, who was at the end, planned to chase Bai Gang and the others, but as soon as he stepped forward, a sense of crisis came from behind him!
