I played the world alone

Chapter 51 Excavation Breakthrough!

……

"Everyone be careful!"

"The movement must be light! This is a top-secret historic site at the national level, and there must be no accidents!"

Worker Cao Kongneng is a member of the construction team.

When the front is still relatively far from the cave, it is still possible to use large-scale machinery to work, but the closer you get, the more stringent the orders given above will be.

Including but not limited to the removal of all large machinery, subsequent work is all done manually.

The reason is that there is no feeling of touching any fragile objects when using a machine. It must be manually operated, and even every piece of soil must be carefully inspected to avoid damage to any possible antiques.

It was as if they were really digging some precious ancient tomb.

But in fact, the construction has reached this level, Cao Kongneng and other front-line workers still don't know what they are digging.

At this moment, in the spacious tunnel that can accommodate a truck in and out, Cao Kongneng carefully digs the soil with a shovel, while whispering to his colleagues next to him: "Do you have any gossip?"

"What the hell is ahead of us?"

"I heard that it is the tomb of some former prince." An old man wiped the ashes from his face.

Another person interjected, "How did I hear that it was the tomb of the emperor's favorite concubine? Because she was killed by the empress, she was buried here in a hurry, but the emperor still has an old love, so he put a priceless treasure in this tomb..."

"Nonsense, how did I hear that it is the tomb of Qin Shihuang's favorite youngest daughter, and He Shibi is buried in it..."

"Wait, does Qin Shihuang have a daughter?"

"Of course there is, but only Fusu Huhai is famous..."

Hearing these people muttering, Cao Kongneng raised his eyes to look ahead, and became more curious about what was there.

Thinking that the distance was only one step away, he couldn't help but move faster.

Soon, a faint light in the soil ahead appeared in sight.

In an instant, everyone became excited.

With an order, the last earthen wall was broken through.

In an instant, the soil collapsed and smoke filled the air, choking people almost unable to open their eyes.

But even before the smoke cleared, several soldiers rushed in with searchlights ahead of time.

"Hurry up!"

"Everyone stay put!"

Like everyone else, Cao Kongneng didn't dare to go in, only dared to poke his head and look around.

He could only vaguely see that the tomb inside was not like the tomb in his imagination, it was even a little too clean, and there was a strange faint fragrance in the air, which made him feel refreshed.

"Did you smell it?" He couldn't help but take two more puffs.

"It smells so good..."

"fragrant?"

The other elder brothers looked strange, tried to take a breath, then covered their noses in unison, and almost spat it out.

"You call this incense?"

"This bloody smell...and this stench..."

"How should I put it, it seems like the pork has been stuffed in a broken refrigerator for several days, and it smells so bad that I almost vomited."

"Uh……"

Only then did Cao Kongneng notice that there was indeed that stench in the air, but he was so focused on the special scent that he had never smelled before that he ignored the former.

But even now that he noticed it, he couldn't help but sniff it twice more.

"Still delicious..."

At the same time, his complexion was reddish, as if he had drunk alcohol, and he was a little dizzy.

At this time, Xu Xun and others were also rushing here.

All the workers have been temporarily asked to leave the cave to wait for the next arrangement.

However, they have also noticed some abnormalities among some of the workers.

The proportion is not large, mainly two or three of the hundreds of workers on the front line near the cave, and even one of the first soldiers who rushed in had a similar situation.

"The conditions are all similar. I smell a strange fragrance. Some say it is very strong and some say it is very weak. But without exception, people who smell it will feel their heart beat faster and their faces turn red. All the symptoms are like drinking high-concentration alcohol..."

Xu Xun listened to the report of his subordinates and realized that something seemed wrong.

It is impossible to let them drink casually during the mission now.

Let alone a soldier.

"Is it oxygen poisoning?"

"It's not like, if it's poisoning, then other people should have a similar reaction. Out of hundreds of people, why are there only these few people?"

Xu Xun pondered for a while: "Ask an expert to test the air here to see if there is anything unusual."

"In addition, these people were sent to designated hospitals for physical examination to see if there were any new changes."

He had an intuition that the cause of these people's illnesses should be inseparable from this cave.

"Now our understanding of these supernatural things is still at an extremely superficial level, and it is impossible to judge."

"If there is any danger in the future for them and us who are standing here now, it will also be a warning to those who come later!"

After ordering the people on the front line to suspend their actions and put on biochemical protective suits, they continued to dig.

And he has brought people to the cave.

All that could be smelled was the stench that was close to rot, and there was no special fragrance.

Afterwards, he took a closer look inside the cave.

The rock wall is uneven, as if it was chiseled out by a knife, but the whole space is relatively wide. I don't know what method the ancients used and how much blood and tears they sacrificed to create such a cave.

And there are many crystal broken jade scattered on the ground, which seem to have a special arrangement, but they can't understand it, so they can only use photos as records temporarily.

In addition, there are many Taoist charms on the rock wall, some of which have obviously been damaged, and some are still relatively well preserved.

These are all precious extraordinary materials, all of which have been carefully preserved.

At this moment, many professionals wearing gloves and protective clothing are inspecting the interior of the cave, and the cave, which is not that big, seems a little crowded at the moment.

And what really catches the eye is the corpse of the giant snake in the corner!

The body with blood-red lines is as thick as a wheel, and even if it is weakly curled into a ball, it is still as tall as a hill!
Xu Xun approached slowly, staring at it solemnly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"What I saw with my own eyes was indeed much more shocking than what was shown in the photos..."

Although the corpse was close to decay, its former terrifying power could still be felt from the remaining appearance.

An ordinary person would have been scared out of his wits in front of it.

"Let experts take measures to preserve this corpse immediately. These are all precious experimental materials!"

"understand!"

Several soldiers hurried forward and began to move the corpse carefully.

Fortunately, the degree of decay of this corpse is not very high, so it won't be all soft and rotten, so it can be rescued.

In addition, they also collected some of the water, soil and stones in the cave and took them back as materials for testing. Others, such as broken jade, did not move rashly, and waited for the follow-up real excavation work to be completed before moving them completely.
