Chapter 275: Obeying the promise and striking out
All the members of the Nine Team who learned the news were furious.
All the materials disappeared, and there were traces of human activities nearby. Wouldn't it mean that someone stole the thing?
The materials we saved for life and death, if we want to be promoted, we point to the remaining military merits, but they just disappeared?
Xu Ling summoned all staff to discuss countermeasures: "Brothers, what do you think?"
Xie Yilang immediately said angrily: "No, I must be recovered! Someone must stole it!"
Ning Qingshuang said calmly: "First of all, we have to figure out how those things were lost. The traces of human activities do not tell everything."
"And the traces left by someone are still to be discussed." Luo Zhixing agreed.
Gao Fan shook his head and said, "Don't ask, ask is the immortal city."
"Why?"
Xu Xiaoyu and Meng Chi blinked their eyes and asked in unison.
Gao Fan was stunned for a moment and said with a smirk: "I just said it casually, but I always feel that they can do this."
Lin Ling frowned: "Not it, they ran so far to steal what we had hidden?"
Xu Ling took his hand and listened to it for a while, and couldn't help but interrupt and said, "It's not impossible. Never overestimate the lower limit of those guys."
Everyone fell into thinking.
The more Xu Ling thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and finally made up his mind: "Why don't we go back and have a look."
The others exchanged glances.
"agree."
In this way, Team Ninth and his group returned to Mine No. 2 in the south of Beiwang Town again.
Since restoring production is a very important matter, even Yao Chun came here with the garrison troops in person. When he saw Xu Ling, he smiled bitterly and said, "We found the place you mentioned, but we did not find any remaining materials."
I was specifically instructed at that time, but now I can't find the things. Although it is unnecessary, Yao Chun is a kind person and really feels a little guilty.
Xu Ling didn't complain, just asked: "What was the situation in that place at that time?"
Yao Chun explained: "Before we had time to clean up there, we still looked like when we first arrived here. I'll take you to see it."
Eight people from Team Nine were taken to the place where the materials were hidden.
This is the ruins of a building. Its original function was no longer visible for too long. The cellar it has been unearthed, and a large bag of materials was hidden here at that time.
It doesn't take much effort to tell. Someone has indeed been here, because before leaving, Gao Fan personally condensed a string of steel wire into twists to lock the rusty iron door. Now, let alone the steel wire, even the door has fallen to the ground, with a hole in the middle, which is obviously kicked open.
Yao Chun said helplessly: "This is how we came."
Xu Ling asked: "It doesn't matter. It's normal to leave things here without guarding them. It's normal to disappear. The key is who has been here. If the other party is hostile, it will also pose a threat to the mining area?"
"That's right."
Yao Chun nodded, then looked at Xu Ling with a little expectation, "But we are now tight and don't know who can take on this task. I can follow the command center to make up the task procedures."
Xu Ling smiled and said, "Sir, you don't have to cheat me. Our supplies have been taken away and we must be retrieved."
Others were also worried about their stolen military achievements and were eager to punish the murderer severely.
Xie Yilang's eyes were full of anger: "Sir Yao, wait. In less than three days, we will definitely find the people!"
Yao Chun was also infected by the emotions of these young people: "Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news."
After he left, the others asked quickly: "Old Xie, you are so confident, may you have mastered some clues?"
Xie Yilang tilted his head: "Clues? How could I have them?"
"Then why can't you tell me that you can find it in three days!"
"Hmph, shouldn't we always speak harshly first at this time?" Xie Yilang was not upright and strong, and even crossed his waist.
Xu Ling was speechless and too lazy to care about this live treasure. She explained to Lin Ling a few words and asked her to go to the nearby suburbs first to see if she could find anything, and then gathered others to study the map.
The Unicom No. 3 mining area is lined up from east to west. No. 3 is narrow and protruding, and the southernmost end is several kilometers above No. 1 and 2, so it is also the farthest place from Beiwang Town.
"First of all, we can rule out that it was done by our own people."
"Absolutely, no one from other aspects would come to this place with the garrison troops. The area where the other tactical teams are responsible for scouting does not overlap with us."
"Lieutenant Colonel Yao can't lie to us."
"But... I think there are no tribes who come with you? Could it be them?"
The locals who came with the army from Beiwang Town naturally came to serve as laborers. The people of Xia were only responsible for providing military assistance. If they really wanted to produce, they had to rely on themselves.
Xu Ling was listening to other people's discussions, but when he heard this, he knocked on the table and interrupted: "You must be cautious when saying such words. If there is no evidence, don't say it. We will only consider foreign enemies for the time being."
So everyone turned their guessing direction to the south again.
If you are from outside, no matter whether it is an immortal city or not, you can only come from that direction.
Everyone here has received professional training in the survey team. They have a certain basis for analyzing tactical terrain, and soon discussed several possible directions.
Lin Ling happened to come back at this time, but it did not bring good news, because there were already many people from the garrison troops around, and even if the people who took the materials left any trace, they had basically been destroyed.
As a last resort, Xu Ling had no choice but to separate everyone and go to the outside of the mining area to look for the several directions that he just inferred.
Fortunately, this time, those people of unknown origin did not seem to have deliberately concealed their actions, and they were eventually found by Gao Fan.
"Awesome, Lao Gao, how did you find clues?" Xie Yilang has always been a bad mind and is not good at this kind of thing, so he admires it very much.
Gao Fan said proudly: "Whoever walks through will leave traces. As long as humans have moved, it is impossible to discover it."
Lin Ling was a little dissatisfied, but his tone was as calm as usual: "So how did you find out exactly?"
Gao Fan's voice was a little stiff: "As long as you observe carefully, you will definitely be able to do it."
Lin Ling frowned. What she wanted to hear was more professional skills, not empty talk.
Luo Zhixing, who was acting with Gao Fan, smiled and said, "Don't ask, someone peed at a tree, and the frozen ice chips were seen by him."
Gao Fan, who was so arrogant, expressed his dissatisfaction with his eyes and complained that his friends should not have dismantled him like this.
Xu Ling found it a little funny, but now is not the time to laugh. He asked, "Where is the position in that direction?"
"Ice Valley."
"Can you chase after it?"
After a brief silence, everyone exchanged their eyes.
I must chase after you, and I want to leave after peeing? There is no door!
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Xu Ling ran to explain the situation to Yao Chun.
The first reaction of a cautious lieutenant colonel was to disagree.
A few people wanted to leave here and continue to move towards the unknown south. This kind of thing was too risky. The high-level monsters there had not been cleaned up, and everything they encountered was unknown.
But then he thought that Team Nine had taken over the magical teams of three mining areas by themselves, and it was impossible to walk on them.
"Okay, since you have confidence, of course I am not qualified to stop it, but you must pay attention to safety. If the situation is not right, you must retreat in time. Take the signal flare well. Even if you may not see it here, it is safe anyway."
Seeing that his mother had an illness again, Xu Ling couldn't help but be too big, but the other person was at a higher level and a senior, so he started for his own good. He could only nod and be timid.
After a long time, Yao Chun finished the long discussion and Xu Ling returned to the team.
Chapter completed!
