Xu Ling thought things were strange.

If this trace has not been concealed, it can be explained as being left by one's own people, but it is obvious that it should not be considered hidden. If Xu Ling had not had the reconnaissance skills he learned from the investigation team, he would not even be able to discover it.

Since this has been done, it can only mean that the person who left the mark has an ulterior motive.

She raised her eyes and looked around, and said to Xu Xiaoyu: "Go, call the third group to come."

The third group refers to Luo Zhixing and Ning Qingshuang who should have been on the next inspection.

Xu Xiaoyu knew that this sentence was not what the elder brother said to her sister, but the order from her superiors to her subordinates. She did not be vague and immediately ran to the camp.

Xu Ling stayed on the spot to protect the scene, and observed the surroundings vigilantly in case someone was secretly waiting for an opportunity to attack.

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

"Xu Ling, Xiaoyu said you have discovered traces of human activities." Luo Zhixing ran over hurriedly.

"Um."

Xu Ling nodded, "I have been deliberately concealed, I suspect I am not a member of the alliance."

The alliance refers to the alliance formed by several surrounding tribes and Xinsheng Town. The full name is the Curry Woosh Revival Alliance, but it is only in the pioneering stage and has not been officially included in the legal process.

As for why? Because other tribes have no laws at all, they are basically ruled by man, and they just look for priests if they have any problems, so everything is not so formal.

At present, the Expeditionary Force Command has recommended that all tribes improve governance methods and send relevant experts to assist.

But this is not an urgent task. What Xu Ling must be sure of now is who left these traces.

He had already made a preliminary judgment that the people who have been here are most likely not from within the alliance, because other tribes can freely communicate with Xinsheng Town and even ask for protection from the Expeditionary Force. There is no need to deliberately cover up the situation.

Then there are only two types of people left, one is the Immortal City, and the other is a tribe that has not yet established a connection.

Both are possible, because although there are four more towns around Currywush, there are a long distance between each settlement, and it will not be too difficult to have a small group of enemies to sneak in.

The four of them dispersed and looked for more clues separately. In the end, they found a lot nearby, but after chasing for a while, the traces gradually disappeared, perhaps because they dissipated as time passed, or perhaps because the other party was more vigilant and did not leave any further instructions.

"Go back first, so as not to get into ambush. I have to go and communicate with Huang Dahui."

Xu Ling said, and then he took a few people back to the camp.

Huang Daechui was directing other people to construction on the construction site, and was still in the stage of digging the foundation.

Since the construction project does not have the priority of building a city, only one of the small number of excavators transported to Currywush came here, and the main force at the construction site was still a low-level martial artist in engineering.

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

Huang Dahui looked back and stopped to command, and walked over while slapped the loess on his hand.

"What's wrong, Xu Zhengcai?"

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

Huang Daichi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Can it be, uh, our people? Or I'll ask if they've been there?"

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

"No, it's impossible."

Huang Daichui answered firmly, "I brought all the veterans, but they were just veterans on the construction site. If you want to say that the construction workers are all good, but you say that they are covering up something... that is why you are the soldiers, and we don't understand."

Xu Ling nodded: "I remind everyone to be alert these days and report it in time if I see suspicious people around me."

"I understand, Xu Zhengcai."

After responding, Huang Dahui wanted to say something but stopped, as if he had something to say.

"What's wrong? Do Brother Huang have any suggestions?" Xu Lingshan asked understandingly.

The other party smiled honestly, with a little dodging eyes: "I think you should go to Xinsheng Town for help first? I feel that things are a bit strange. Didn't it be said that Beiwang Town captured a man from Immortal City a few months ago? What if they came to take revenge?"

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

"Don't worry, we have a perfect system to deal with every emergencies."

He smiled and explained, "I will send someone to Xinsheng Town to report, but according to the current clues, it still cannot reach the level of response to asking for help. Even if I really ask for it, it is likely to be rejected."

Huang Daichikeng seemed a little disappointed, but it was difficult to say it. After all, he was the head of the engineering team and the guard team. If there was a conflict, it would be difficult to cooperate. What they said was reasonable and well-founded.

Of course, Xu Ling understood his thoughts, but just said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will continue to investigate the real situation and will contact Xinsheng Town in time."

Huang Dahui had no choice but to agree temporarily.

However, although Xu Ling talked to him calmly, he did not 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 could barely have some combat power, but they were not high, and they were all around 1.0.

The whole process was supported by Huang Dahui. He was already worried about the safety of the camp. After all, it was not a battle sequence and naturally lacked a sense of security.

After making arrangements for everything, Xu Xiaoyu came to him and asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

"Watch the changes and be more vigilant."

Xu Ling frowned and said, "We only have a little clue, and it is impossible to apply for support directly. Alas, no matter what, let's see what will happen after we get back."

Actually, he was right. The Expeditionary Force was originally squeezed out from the domestic defense forces. Although it was expanded, the number of people was not too large. How could it be so idle? I immediately sent someone to check it out with some trouble.

Despite this, Xu Ling cannot be underestimated. He has to find a way to figure out the situation. This is the meaning of the existence of an independent tactical team.

"It's okay. Even if you really come from Immortal City, it won't be too large to get to this place. I will find a way to find them."

Xu Ling patted his sister's head.

...

In the wild a few kilometers outside Xinsheng Town, more than ten people were resting by the bonfire.

The most conspicuous among the group is a man with a very burly figure, with his hair as dark as ink, placing it behind his head, and his face covered with a mask, covering his skin from his jaw to the bridge of his nose.

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

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

"Boss, do we really have to just investigate? Didn't we pass by a camp before? What happened when we got back?"

The masked man scratched his sideburns with his fingers, causing a hint of messy hair, but he quickly combed it neatly with his palms.

"We will complete the investigation task first. The waste from Shangou did not complete the task until the end. The adults were very angry. We can't make any mistakes."

The man said before: "Hey, that guy, I, probably made a mistake and died in the monster group. Boss, because of this, we should do more things. If we can catch a few prisoners, we will definitely satisfy the adults."

The man in the mask glanced at him: "Are you a fool? There are dozens of people in them, and we are only a few."

"But, many of them are workers and are not equipped with weapons, so don't be afraid."

"Shut up."

The masked man is too lazy to explain to this idiot.

He knew very well that the people who penetrated into various tribes had long said that those aliens had magical abilities, able to control flames and lightning, and their power was no less than the guns that Immortal City was proud of.

He was not stupid, and knew that if he fought hard in such a place, the group would definitely not be able to leave Curry Woosh in the end.
