Chapter 257 Disagreement
Xu Ling felt that things were strange.

If this trace hadn't been covered up, it could be interpreted as being left by one of our own people, but it was obviously not considered hidden. If Xu Ling hadn't possessed the reconnaissance skills he learned in the investigation team, he wouldn't even have been able to find it.

Since this is done, it can only show that the person who left the trace has an ulterior purpose.

She looked around and said to Xu Xiaoyu, "Go, call the third group over."

The third group refers to Luo Zhixing and Ning Qingshuang who were supposed to be on the next patrol.

Xu Xiaoyu knew that this sentence was not spoken by her elder brother to her younger sister, but an order from her superior to her subordinate. She did not hesitate, and immediately ran to the camp.

Xu Ling stayed in place to protect the scene, while observing the surroundings vigilantly in case someone was secretly waiting for an opportunity to attack.

After a while, Xu Xiaoyu led Luo Ning and the two over.

"Xu Ling, Xiao Yu said that you found traces of human activities." Luo Zhixing hurried over.

"Ah."

Xu Ling nodded, "It was deliberately covered up, I suspect it's not someone from the alliance."

The alliance refers to the alliance formed by several surrounding tribes and Xinxin Town. Its full name is the Currywood Revival Alliance, but it is only in the initial stage and has not yet been formally incorporated into legal procedures.

As for why?Because other tribes don't have any laws at all, and they are basically ruled by men. If you have any problems, you can directly go to the priests, so everything is not so formal.

At present, the Expeditionary Army Command has advised the tribes to improve their governance methods and sent relevant experts to assist them.

However, this is not a top priority. Now Xu Ling must determine who left these traces.

He has preliminarily judged that the people who have been here are most likely not from within the alliance, because other tribes can communicate freely with Xinsheng Town, and even ask for protection from the expeditionary force, there is no need to deliberately cover up their tracks.

Then there are only two kinds left, one is the immortal city, and the other is a tribe that has not yet established contact.

Both of these are possible, because although there are four more towns around Kuliwushi, each settlement is separated by a long distance, and it will not be too difficult for a small group of enemies to sneak in.

The four of them dispersed and searched for more clues separately. In the end, they found a lot nearby, but after chasing for a certain distance, the traces gradually disappeared, perhaps because they disappeared over time, or because the other party improved Be vigilant and leave nothing behind.

"Go back first, so as not to be ambushed, I have to communicate with Huang Dahammer."

Xu Ling said, and then returned to the camp with a few people.

Huang Sledgehammer is directing other people to work on the construction site, and is still in the stage of digging the foundation.

Since the construction project is not as high priority as the construction of the town, only one of the small number of excavators transported to Kuliwushi was allocated, and the main force on the construction site was low-level warriors with engineering majors.

Xu Ling came to the side and shouted loudly: "Brother Huang!"

Huang Dachui looked back, stopped directing, and walked over while patting the loess on his hand.

"What's the matter, Colonel Xu?"

In order not to cause unnecessary panic, Xu Ling pulled him to a corner alone and whispered, "We found traces of human activities three kilometers to the southwest."

Huang Dachui was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Could it be, uh, our people? How about I ask them if they have been there before?"

Xu Ling thought for a while: "Have you construction team members learned how to cover up their tracks?"

"Nothing is impossible."

Huang Dachui replied decisively, "I brought veterans, but only veterans on the construction site. If you say that the construction is all good, but you talk about covering up...that's because you are soldiers. We don't understand."

Xu Ling nodded: "In the past few days, tell everyone to be vigilant, and report in time if you see suspicious people around."

"Understood, Colonel Xu."

After answering, Huang Dachui hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's the matter? Brother Huang, do you have any suggestions?" Xu Ling asked empathetically.

The other party smiled honestly, his eyes a little evasive: "I think we should go to Xinsheng Town for help first. I feel that things are a bit strange. Didn't they say that Beiwang Town captured a person from Immortal City a few months ago? What if they are What about revenge?"

Xu Ling understood a little bit in his heart. He was afraid that if the other party really came from the Immortal City, these few people would not be enough to deal with him.

"Rest assured, we have a sound system to deal with every contingency."

He explained with a smile, "I will send someone to Xinsheng Town to report, but according to the current clues, it is not up to the response level of asking for help. Even if I do ask, there is a high probability that it will be rejected."

Huang Dahui seemed a little disappointed, but it was hard to say it out. After all, they were the heads of the engineering team and the security team.

Of course Xu Ling understood what he was thinking, but he just said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will continue to investigate the real situation and get in touch with Xinsheng Town in time."

Huang Dahui had no choice but to agree temporarily.

But although Xu Ling told him calmly, he didn't take it lightly. He immediately asked Gao Fan to return to Xinsheng Town alone to explain the situation. At the same time, he studied the list of force indexes in the engineering team and found that nearly one-third of them were barely A little combat power, but not high, all around 1.0.

The whole process was supported by Huang Dahammer. He was already worried about the security situation of the camp. After all, it was not a battle order, so he naturally lacked a sense of security.

After everything was arranged, Xu Xiaoyu came to him and asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

"Wait and see what happens and strengthen your vigilance."

Xu Ling frowned and said, "We only have a few clues, so it is impossible to directly apply for support. Hey, anyway, let's see what the reaction will be after the report goes back."

In fact, what he said is correct. The expeditionary force was originally squeezed out from the domestic defense force. Although it has expanded, the number of people is not too large. Son up to the sky.

Even so, Xu Ling couldn't be underestimated. He had to find a way to figure out the situation. This was the meaning of the existence of the independent tactical team.

"It's okay. Even if people are really from the Immortal City, it won't be too big to go to this place. I will find a way to find them."

Xu Ling patted his sister on the head.

……

In the field a few kilometers outside Xinsheng Town, more than ten people were resting around the campfire.

The most conspicuous figure in the group was a very burly man with long hair. His hair was black as ink and tied back on his head. His face was covered with a mask covering the skin from his chin to the bridge of his nose.

Even so, the skin above the cheekbones on both sides also showed hideous scars. Obviously, he wore a mask to cover up the terrifying face on the lower half of his face.

"Hurry up, we still have a lot to do." His voice was the opposite of his face, mellow and steady, a bit like the artificial bubble sound in a short video.

"Boss, do we really have to just investigate? Didn't we pass a camp before? How about taking it on the way back?"

The masked man scratched his temples with his fingers, making his hair a little messy, but he quickly combed it neatly with his palm.

"Finish the investigation task first. The coyote didn't complete the task in the end. Your lord is very angry. We can't make any more mistakes."

The subordinate before said: "Hey, I'm sure that guy must have made a mistake and died among the monsters. Boss, because of this, we should do more things. If we can capture a few prisoners and go back, we will definitely let you go." The adults are satisfied."

The man in the mask gave him a sideways glance: "Are you a fool? There are dozens of them, and we only have a few."

"However, many of them are workers, and they are not equipped with weapons. Don't be afraid."

"To shut up."

The masked man didn't bother to explain to this idiot.

He knew very well that the people who infiltrated the various tribes had already said that those aliens possessed magical abilities, they could control flames and lightning, and their power was not weaker than the guns that Immortal City was proud of.

He is not stupid, he knows that if he is tough in this kind of place, the group will definitely not be able to get out of Kuliwushi in the end.

"Stop using your crooked brains and obey orders."
