Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

There are also weird crab statues. If you meet some curious collectors, you may be able to sell them for a good price.

As for the search for gold mines, Wei Dahu was not in a hurry. After all, gold mines were uncertain, but the statue and ivory jade seat in front of him were of real value.

After moving the statue and the ivory jade seat back to the camp, Wei Dahu led the sailors back to the depths of the cave, and dug three feet to search.

Sure enough, some original gemstones were found, as well as some gold and silver products.

One month slipped away quietly in the blink of an eye.

After climbing mountains and wading nearby for a month, Wei Dahu and others found nothing except hunting some polar bears and arctic wolves.

Seeing that the time was approaching mid-October and the temperature was dropping rapidly, Wei Dahu, who was afraid that the Bering Strait would freeze, could only take everyone back to Snowmoss City.

Chapter 5 Seventy Ships and Bones

Driven by the bitter north wind, the steamer Gold quickly passed through the Bering Strait.

Then at the Tianya Island (St. Lawrence Island) supply station, a batch of coal and canned vegetables were supplied, and then they headed for the warmer south.

In the captain's exclusive cabin of the Gold, Wei Dahu was cleaning the ivory jade seat and the crab statue, with a hint of fascination in his eyes.

He wiped the statue piously and gently, without missing every detail of the statue. Any dirt stained on the statue would make Wei Dahu feel unstoppable self-blame deep in his heart.

Gradually, Wei Dahu's gaze began to become fanatical and weird. Unknowingly, his eyes became similar to the three triangle-shaped eyes on the statue, staring like fishes.

If you look closely, the people on the Golden Ship are starting to become very weird, especially their eyes, which are converging with the eyes on the statue.

Suddenly the wooden door of the captain's cabin opened slowly, and a Japanese sailor walked in with dull eyes, and then stood reverently in front of the statue.

"Lan...Lan..." The Dongpu sailor stared at the fish's eyes wide, and uttered some weird and intermittent syllables from his throat.

Wei Dahu on the side stopped wiping, standing silently like a marionette on a string.

The Japanese sailor took off his shirt and exposed his chest in front of the statue. The three triangular eyes of the crab statue flickered slightly, and then the three-decimeter long kiss was inserted into the Japanese sailor's chest without any warning.

"Lan... Lan..."

"Master...please eat me..."

After the long kiss pierced the Dongpu sailor's chest, it was as if he was sucking jelly, and the Dongpu sailor's body turned into a mummy in a short while.

In the eyes of the Japanese sailors, there was only fanaticism and infinite worship.

Then his eyeballs disappeared, followed by his skin, and finally only a skeleton was left, and even the marrow in the bones disappeared completely.

The crab statue withdrew its long kiss.

The skeleton lost its support and immediately scattered all over the place. Wei Dahu, who was standing by, quickly cleaned the skeleton and threw it into the Bering Sea.

……

On the vast sea to the northwest of Snowmoss City.

The three fishing boats were quickly lowering their nets to fish in rough seas.

An hour later, the steam crane pulled the fishing net, and a large number of king crabs were caught by the fishing net. A group of fishermen skillfully threw some uninjured and vigorous king crabs into the seawater pool.

The small crabs are thrown back into the sea, and the injured or lacking vitality king crabs are placed in a large basket beside them.

"It's a good place. If this network goes down, it's better than what we have been doing for several years."

"Yes!"

"This place is just too tough in winter, otherwise I would want to immigrate here."

The fishermen are all members of the Donghai Fishing Cooperative, and king crab is a newly popular ingredient in recent years.

Since the empire's seafood transportation technology has been innovated to the modern level, it is natural to catch king crabs from the Bering Sea and transport them back to the mainland of the empire.

King crab is consumed by dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and the price can reach 200-400 yuan per catty. It is a luxury food after abalone and ginseng belly.

There are market demands, and naturally some people are willing to go fishing.

The fishing boat that had just caught a boat of king crabs was about to return to Snow Moss City, when a sharp-eyed fisherman suddenly saw a steam ship from the hazy sea.

The captain didn't pay too much attention to the watchman's report. After all, there are many people in the Bering Sea and near Snowmoss City, both imperial officials and civilians.

He casually ordered the watchman to say hello to the other party, and then prepared to return to Snow Moss City.

It's just that what happened next was somewhat unexpected.

The watchman kept waving semaphores to the other party, but the steam ship just didn't respond at all. After more than 15 minutes, the lookout sailor decisively notified the captain.

The captain Gongsun Guan hurriedly climbed up to the watchtower. Through the binoculars, the deck of the ship was empty, and no one was found.

Even during the voyage, the watchtower, which must be guarded by someone, is uncharacteristically unoccupied.

Gongsun Guan shouted down: "Notify the Black Fish and the Big Crab to approach the steamer on the north side."

"clear."

On the semaphore platform at the lower side of the observation deck, the semaphore operator hurriedly signaled to the other two fishing boats, and soon the three fishing boats turned north together.

According to the maritime management regulations of the empire, they are obliged to rescue the shipwrecked ships of the same empire, and the steamship is one of the symbols of the empire, so Gongsun Guan can only go to find out.

About half an hour.

One of the fishing boats was driving side by side with the Gold, with a distance of more than 20 meters between the two sides. The fishermen beat the gongs, hoping that someone would come out of the deck of the Gold.

But after beating the gong for a long time, the Golden Ship was still dead silent, and Gongsun Guan who was standing on the deck also felt bad. This situation can only mean that something happened to the Golden Ship opposite.

He hurriedly led the people and rowed the boat close to the Gold.

After boarding the deck of the Gold, eight fishermen including Gongsun Guan were armed with machetes, harpoons, and shotguns.

"Go, everyone be careful." Gongsun Guan waved his hand.

The eight people cautiously approached the cockpit and found that the hatch was not closed. After the hatch was opened, the cockpit was empty.

"next."

There are two consecutive cabins, and the interior is empty, and the cleanliness is a bit too much.

Gongsun Guan became nervous involuntarily, and pushed open the third hatch. The situation inside immediately made all the fishermen break out in cold sweat.

The cabin was very clean, only a pile of white bones scattered on the wooden boards, and a weird statue of a crab.

Looking at the pile of bones, Gongsun Guan, who retired from the Marine Corps, could tell at a glance that there was only one person in the bones.
