When the rest of the soldiers arrived, they did so accompanied by scientists, doctors, and biologists who were on the battlefront.
All of them were surprised by the corpses of the dead but decided to wait for them to receive the necessary material in order to carry out the investigations.
During the first days, soldiers with protective suits and gas masks established a system of lights in the old city to be able to illuminate everything that was in that place.
Revealing the beauty of the city, because it was the first time they saw such a fantastic city.
So they brought in a group of archaeologists and anthropologists because they were interested in being able to know what life was like thousands of years ago in that city.
Because of the danger of the city, the soldiers in charge of Alfons had to create sectors of the city to be able to clean, to begin with the first part of the city.
What they called the outer section because it was completely away from the gigantic walls that could be seen in the distance.
According to the reviews they made using hot air balloons and flares, the size was almost 60 square kilometers, so they created imaginary lines using the four roads that led to the city.
So once they divided the outer zone into four sectors, they started with sector one, which was the one near the entrance door.
Alfons, who was advancing with his entire battalion, had orders to shoot the petrified undead, this because they were a biological danger.
So each time they advanced, they fired their bullets at the zombies that were completely petrified, which almost instantly turned to dust.
Because they did not know the danger they posed, they never took off their protective suits and gas masks.
The first thing they decided to clean were the main streets, which were full of petrified zombies, because then the most complicated would follow.
Which was to clean the interior of each business and house that was in that place, because of the time that had passed and the preservation that the city had had.
They were surprised to see many wooden objects that still existed, as well as some fabrics that seemed preserved in time.
It was as if they could see the last moments of the city after being infected with whatever it was that caused the dead to return to their lives.
When they finished cleaning the principal streets, the soldiers with flamethrowers burned all the dust and dirt that was in the streets.
In an attempt to completely eliminate any kind of biological hazard to humans, the soldiers with their flamethrowers only watched as the dust turned into small ashes that disintegrated in the air.
After a few hours of working, they have just completely cleaned the streets and alleys of sector 1, so they entered the first houses of gold.
Because of the danger, the soldiers who entered did so wearing metal equipment that covered their bodies to avoid any mishap.
When the soldiers entered, they realized that the architecture of the house was simple, but in front of them were two petrified zombies of what appeared to be children.
While at his feet were two skeletons that appeared to be of two people.
“The fate of these people is too sad. I can’t believe that things have happened that way.
I can assume that the parents died and the children who were infected fed on their remains, but after that they just stood there.
Where were they waiting for some noise or something that will call them to move, but since that never happened, they ended up fossilized in this place?
It is a very horrible way to end your existence for thousands of years. “
The soldier looked at his partner and only raised his pistol to end the existence of the fossilized zombies.
Which ended up turned into ashes. Later, they searched the house completely and found nothing else.
So they went out and allowed their colleagues with the cleaning team to come in to clean that place.
Unlike the streets or alleys, the cleaning of houses was slow because they did not want to destroy what was inside them.
This mainly because historians and anthropologists wanted to discover the way of life of the inhabitants of that city.
To be able to understand a little more what the world was like before the domination of the elves.
All of them were extremely happy because that city represented a window to the past that would allow them to see what was in the past.
When the house was completely clean and disinfected, an archaeologist and an anthropologist entered that place.
In that place, they took note of everything that was in the house, from the tools that were used to the shape of the furniture and the structure of the house.
“The way is organizing the space is very reminiscent of the Magnagrecian houses from the Iron Age period.
Group that they used to build their houses without using another cheaper material such as stone. “
The anthropologist who was analyzing the wall of gold stroked his chin. “I think it is somewhat difficult to answer that, but we would have to analyze what the situations are in this place.
We are talking about an underground city and usually the stone is quite cold, based on what we have heard from the half-elves, gold and some precious metals.
They allow to transmit magical energy so it would make sense that their houses will occupy blocks of gold to be built, because that way they could use spells to be able to carry some kind of improvement in their houses.
It’s like the use of electric cables, only that they go further by building their houses completely of gold. I suppose it is an archaic way of transmitting magic.
But it is understood because we are talking about thousands of years ago, their civilizations are older than the civilizations we had in our world.
Although it could be different because we evolved while they could be created by their gods, so they would have more time to advance.
It is certainly something surprising. “
