Some of the coffins placed outside had been opened, and the corpses inside were messed up. Two had not been opened. The little bug went in to take a look, and Li Du could not help but grin.
Inside the coffin was the rotting skeleton of a corpse. It was glittering with jewels and glittering with gold and silver. On its head was a crown that was either gilded or gold. There was a gemstone necklace around its neck, and its body was covered with gold and silver plates. In its hand was a scepter inlaid with gemstones.
There was something similar in the other coffin, but there was less jewelry.
There were some Russian letters on the back of the coffin lid. Li Du did not know what was written, but it should be an introduction to the life of the deceased.
Li Du took a deep breath. His guess was right. These people were not grave diggers, but grave robbers, robbing other people's graves.
Considering the distance between the cemetery and the refugee city, he guessed that the people here should be the dead nobles and rich people in the city. They came here to seek refuge and brought a lot of gold and jewelry.
The Soviet Red Army later rushed to attack them, also for the gold and jewelry.
But gold and silver jewelry were useless in this barren land. Before the Red Army attacked, they should have known what would happen to them and the jewelry.
Therefore, when they died and were buried, it must have been extremely luxurious, bringing along all the jewelry that could be brought into the ground.
These grave robbers were very good. They found the graves of the nobles and dug out the treasures.
Compared to ivory, the jewelry here could be called a treasure, but it was illegal and immoral to do so.
This was different from grave robbers digging up the bodies of war victims, which could be explained as comforting the dead and finding another place to rest. But what was the point of digging up other people's graves? Wasn't this a standard grave robber?
It was none of Li Du's business, but he could not condone these criminals, could he?
If this had happened in China or the United States, Li Du would have called the police. It would be better to let the police handle this kind of thing.
But now they were in the wilderness of Siberia. If he called the police, they would probably be very interested in this kind of thing. After all, a lot of jewelry was found.
But when would the police arrive? By the time they arrived, the grave robbers would probably be long gone.
Li Du pondered for a moment and decided to take advantage of the situation. These jewelry were antiques and had been loved by their owners. They had always been carried around or looked at. They contained rich time energy.
The little bug had not had a good meal in a while, so Li Du decided to fulfill its wish today.
He released the little bug to allow it to freely absorb time energy while he feigned civility with the blonde young man.
"Was there a war here? The Germans didn't attack here, did they? "he asked.
The blonde youth laughed and said, "Don't underestimate the damn Soviet Army and the Wehrmacht of Germany. They have launched an all-out offensive against Russia. Every inch of our land has been invaded by them."
Li Du asked curiously, "Really? How is that possible? They started the war on the Eastern Front and the Western Front, but this has nothing to do with the Central Siberian Plateau, right? "
Seeing that he couldn't fool him, the blonde young man said, "Yes, but there was a war here. You must know that there was a small city over there, where a bunch of bastards from the feudal dynasty lived. Our Red Army fought with them in order to liberate the country."
Li Du nodded. "I know that, but the Red Army won with an overwhelming advantage, didn't they? Not many of their soldiers died at that time, and even if they did, their bodies would have been taken away, right? "
The blonde young man said, "Yes, but the remnants of the dynasty in the city were killed and buried here. You know, buddy, it's a little cruel to let them sleep in the wilderness. Let's clean them up and send them to the cemetery. "
Li Du gave a thumbs up and said, "You guys are amazing."
The blonde young man smiled and said, "Since we're in this business, we have to follow the rules, right?"
Li Du nodded in agreement. "Yes."
The other grave robbers were impatient. They fiddled with the guns in their hands, as if to intimidate Li Du and his party with force.
However, Li Du's side was stronger. Brother Wolf and the others opened their laser sights, and the red dots appeared on the bodies of the grave robbers, which scared them.
Li Du had been waiting as they chatted indifferently.
The grave robbers were very good. They found a lot of jewelry in the cemetery, and there were some coffins around, each with jewelry in it.
If they had not been unlucky enough to meet Li Du and his party, they could have made a fortune this time. If they sold the things inside, they could have a lifetime's worth of wealth.
Li Du chatted with the young man for a full half an hour.
When the little bug had absorbed all the time energy in the coffins and the antique jewelry that had been put away, he took it back.
This time, the little bug had eaten its fill. It had grown a lot, was already the length and thickness of a thumb, and it had grown two legs!
At this point, the little bug had two pairs of wings and six legs. According to Li Du's understanding of it, it would have a new ability, but it was not clear what it was.
Li Du was satisfied that he had achieved his goal. He chatted with the young man for a while, like a curious baby asking all sorts of questions. The grave robbers were about to go crazy with his questions. Only then did they reluctantly shut up.
"Thank you for your patience. I've learned a lot this time," Li Du said happily.
The joy on his face was not feigned. The little bug had evolved again, which was a good thing to be happy about.
The blond young man was also very happy. He saw the hope of getting rid of Li Du, and said, "It's nothing. I also learned a lot about mammoth ivory from you."
Li Du said, "Maybe we can form an alliance, buddy. If we find the ruins of the battlefield, let us know. If you find mammoth ivory, let us know. How about that?"
The blond young man choked. Of course, it was not a good idea. They were not real grave robbers, so they had no interest in the ruins of the battlefield.
However, because of Li Du's powerful force, the young man pretended to be happy and agreed to the alliance. He even gave Li Du his phone number, saying that he hoped the two sides could keep in touch in the future.
With the phone number, Li Du got in the car and then ordered, "Build a line of defense, raise the aircraft, and monitor these bastards. Be careful that they come at night."
He was not sure if his means would be detected by these people. The jewelry had been destroyed. After losing the time energy, they might turn into dust with a touch, similar to weathering.
