The Death Knell

Strangler found a relatively complete 'big stone'. During the flight, even though it was hundreds of kilometers away, the huge stone could be seen stuck in the ground like a sharp sword.

This should be one of the fragments of a huge land mass. When it was in space, the scanner carried by the spacecraft also discovered it. Now that strangulation has confirmed that there are remaining buildings there, it is worth going over and taking a look.

The closer it gets, the bigger it looks. This huge spindle-shaped rock stands slantingly, tens of thousands of meters high, with yellow-brown clouds and mist surrounding its waist.

Wanda lay on the cloak that had turned into a flying carpet, holding on to it slightly nervously.

He could fly originally, but the Supreme Mage thought her flying was too slow, saying it didn't even count as "floating", so he threw her onto his cloak.

It’s too fast. The magic floating cloak is really too fast. For Wanda, she has never experienced moving from the United States to Australia in three seconds without using the means of teleportation. The cloak of the Supreme Mage just now did something similar. distance movement.

Is this the level of the universe in the new era in the future?

Wanda felt that maybe she should participate less in her father's activities recently, seize the time to improve her abilities, and find a teacher to learn new things.

The cloak took the two people to the place it pointed to, and flew around a relatively smooth large stone. It sent the two people to a place where the land was broken, and some buildings were accidentally stuck next to the ruins in the crack. .

Although they are all ruins, the buildings here are at least much more complete than those on the ground. At least you can guess what they looked like originally based on their outlines.

Generally speaking, the development path of the Titans is more like that of humans who are a lot ahead of us. Although their planet was very green at that time, they really don't know what to say about the aesthetics of the buildings.

All the houses are a combination of squares and circles. They look like white mushrooms, without any decoration, so monotonous.

Su Ming floated down from the flying carpet and stood in the spacious crevice. There was a strong wind at this height, and these ruins kept making weeping sounds.

"You must have found the right one. This place seems to be of some value." Su Ming took out a gemstone as a reward for the cloak. He saw that there were many dense pipelines providing energy between the dilapidated buildings, which usually require so much energy supply. Place is considered important.

Cloak has learned to think now, at least he uses his brain when looking for things.

It happily rolled up the gem with a corner and digested it, and Wanda walked to the Supreme Mage with a strange expression. Why did it feel like she was raising a pet dog?

She heard that the Magic Floating Cloak was a magical artifact, so why did she act so humble?

But at this time, her attention was not on the building, but on a small mound deep in the crack not far away. It looked like a tomb.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like there is a metal plate inserted in the front, engraved with some ghost-like patterns.

"There, isn't it?"

She pushed Deathstroke's arm and pointed to the side.

"Yes, a simple tomb, with the words 'Susan, mother, the most beautiful woman on Titan' on the tombstone." Su Ming just glanced at it and then turned back, continuing to look around at the ruins of buildings, as if thinking. Where is the best place to check first: "When this time is over, I will take you to Xandar to buy a cosmic translator."

Wanda tightened her little jacket, hugged herself with her hands and rubbed her arms: "Didn't you say before that the Titans were completely wiped out? Then who set up this monument..."

"Are you actually afraid of ghosts?" Deathstroke shook his head funny, picked a house and walked over there: "This monument was before the destruction of Titan, at least thirty years earlier... Besides, even though our There are indeed things like ghosts and ghosts in the dimension, but they are made of thinking and consciousness and cannot interact with the matter in the main dimension. Ghosts are not scary, only people are scary."

In response to Wanda's problem, he climbed into the interior of a building through the ruins window and found that this was the top floor, and more floors were buried under the ruins.

"What are you looking for?" Wanda hurriedly followed in. In such a desolate and broken place, it was inevitable that she felt a little uncomfortable. She felt safer being with the Supreme Mage.

"Although the main target is the deep space probe, in fact, all valuable things have been moved away." Su Ming patted the small bag on his belt and looked at several broken large equipment in the corner: "This looks like a hospital. , the Titan clan’s health cabin is also a good thing, I’ll look for a more complete one soon.”

Space archeology, to put it bluntly, means digging other people's graves and moving all the good stuff back to your own home.

There are always civilizations dying in the universe, for various reasons. Not all civilizations that die are useless. The legacy they leave behind is sometimes very helpful to those who come after them in space.

Predators often do this kind of work. Sometimes they can't get the job of bodyguards, and they can't find the target of robbery. What should they do if they don't have food to eat?

You can also go to planets where civilization has died to dig for treasures.

Use a small spaceship to take the things you find to Contracia and sell them, and then spend the energy currency exchanged on android prostitutes, tobacco, alcohol and entertainment.

When you are almost out of money, you can drive out in a small spaceship and continue to look for work.

But whether they can come back alive next time is another matter. This is how the space mercenaries live.

It sounds like making money is easy, but in fact it is not.

Even if many advanced civilizations perish, the mechanical creations or magical summons they left behind will still guard key locations, and even digging for things like a small video recorder will risk your life.

Even the information on those gadgets has disappeared in the long river of history, making it difficult for ordinary predators to survive when they encounter them.

But you don’t have to worry about these things on Titan. There is no safer cemetery planet than this. Others dare not come here to touch gold because they are afraid of Thanos. Zishu said that Titan is his territory, and no one is allowed to do it even if it is abandoned. Set foot.

But Su Ming is not afraid of him. Thanos is just the same without collecting all the infinite stones. There are many more dangerous things than him.

Let Strangler help with the search, and expand the scope of the investigation based on the symbiote's common perception. Small black tentacles squeeze into each room along the gaps or deformed door frames, sharing the situation inside with the host.

So before walking down a few floors, Su Ming cut through several giant alloy blocks blocking the way and found an almost intact health cabin in a room.

Wipe off the thick dust on the hatch cover with your hands, and look inside through the transparent crystal cover. There is also a Titan who died of illness inside because the cabin lost energy. The zombie's face is full of frozen expressions of pain. .

"Not bad, buy one get one free."

Su Ming smiled and told Wanda a cold joke.

The Titan tribe's health cabin is a set of advanced life-support equipment that can make dying people comfortable and calm. Let the adjutant copy this and mass-produce it in the future in exchange for resources.

The corpses of the Titan Eternals are also of some value. They are somewhere between humans and gods. Although they are stronger than humans in all aspects and can understand the use of cosmic energy, they are also subject to birth, old age, illness and death, and they will vomit if they are injured too much.

This corpse can be taken back and studied slowly, and it may be possible to deduce what kind of changes the Celestial Group made to the human genome billions of years ago.

Let’s not talk about whether we can find a deep space probe. Just these two discoveries on Titan are not a loss.

Wanda looked at the human body inside the device and shook her head with some regret. She really couldn't laugh at the cold jokes. More importantly, she seemed to feel that something was watching her, right behind her. .....
