Chapter 630 Open a Hole?

After chasing for a while, he found Gou Shan whose footprints on the right were also broken.

Apparently realizing that he was being tricked by that sly guy.

For a while, I was in a bad mood.

Turn back to the original position.

The footprints around them have long been trampled by themselves.

If I want to find the white guy again, it's already out of the question.

After returning to camp.

Listening to Gou Shan's narration, Jiang Yan and the others all frowned.

According to this statement, the other party is really unexpectedly cunning.

In any case, their exploratory work cannot stop there.

Since you can't catch the opponent, you can only strengthen your defense.

In the process of geological exploration by the exploration team to find the veins.

The kobold short spearmen and the northern warriors all evacuated all around.

Make sure those cunning guys are no longer quietly lurking under their noses.

In the face of such a guard.

For a period of time in the future, the members of the exploration team did not see those white guys again.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party appeared, but they did not find the possibility.

Day by day passed.

After a week of exploration and confirmation.

They finally figured out the approximate location of the veins.

At the same time, the ore brought back to the camp for inspection has also been confirmed to be copper ore.

Inside their Myriad Realms civilization, although there are also several copper veins.

But copper as an important metal vein.

Naturally the more the better.

Every time he found one, Luo Ji was rewarded.

This generous reward is enough for the members of the exploration team to celebrate.

The soldiers at the camp rolled up their sleeves and walked into the tent where the supplies were placed.

I plan to prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate the achievements of the past two months.

"Huh? Where's the salt? Where's the bag of salt?"

One of the soldiers looked left and right, but he turned around but couldn't find the bag of salt.

In the material tent, another older soldier heard it and replied casually...

"I remember the salt was in that corner on the left."

"left?"

The guy who spoke subconsciously looked to the left of the tent.

"Nothing!"

The strange guy in his heart took two steps forward while talking.

As a result, after approaching, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his legs.

The biting chill made him stomp his feet.

"Hey! How many months has it been? Is the wind in the bitter cold still so cold?"

As soon as these words were said, the gang leader was stunned.

"Wind? Wait! How can there be wind in the tent?"

Subconsciously, he glanced back at the curtain at the entrance.

"Also, the wind is blowing in the wrong direction..."

An unpleasant feeling suddenly emerged.

Let the gang leader quickly run two steps forward.

After pushing away all the grain bags piled in front of him.

The scene that caught his eye suddenly made his heart twitch hard!

"Grass! Come here, old Zhang, a hole was opened in the back of the tent where we stocked up!!"

Hearing this, the guy named Lao Zhang hurriedly came up.

Looking at the big hole behind the tent, Lao Zhang's face suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Call everyone over and count the supplies! The other tents that are stockpiling food will also check it out!"

The movement here quickly caught the attention of Jiang Yan and the others.

Jiang Yan, who returned to the camp, quickly called a soldier and asked about the situation in the camp.

"What's going on over there?"

"Report to Captain Jiang that it was the troopers who found that several tents were hoarding food with holes in the back, and they are now counting the supplies."

"Open a hole?"

Jiang Yan's eyebrows were directly twisted into a ball when he heard the news.

"As soon as you have the results, report to me immediately."

After saying a word, the joy of discovering the mineral veins in the hearts of the exploration team has been diluted a lot at once.

Food supplies are related to the survival of hundreds of people in the camp ahead.

It can be said to be the top priority.

If something goes wrong with this, then what?

Counting results will come out soon.

Jiang Yan looked at it, and his face suddenly became ugly.

At the beginning of this month, the food supplies that the food delivery team had just delivered was actually one-fifth less!

You know, this is food for hundreds of people for a month!

One-fifth of the loss is unimaginable.

Rubbing his brows vigorously, Jiang Yan quickly called over the scouts in his scout team, as well as Gou Shan, Hill, Harold and others.

Although he is the captain of the exploration team.

But checking this kind of thing is obviously not his specialty.

After a while of deliberation.

It was left to Gou Shan and Hill to thoroughly investigate the grain theft case.

As for Harold, he continued to be responsible for the escort work of their exploration team.

Gou Shan and Hill, who took over the temporary job, went around to the back of the camp, intending to confirm the traces of the scene first.

However, the Bitter Cold Land is covered with snow all year round.

Traces like footprints, smells, etc.

Just after a while, after the snow blows.

Basically can't find anything.

"Gou Baihu, have you noticed anything about your nose?"

Hill's icy blue eyes swept around, and she asked casually, finding nothing.

Hearing this, Gou Shan shook his head.

"I didn't find it. We don't know when the other party moved his hand. It's too windy here. Generally, if it takes more than half an hour, the smell will be blown away."

Hill understands this.

Although kobolds have a keen sense of smell, their noses are not omnipotent.

The smell was blown away, which was also a no-brainer.

After telling Jiang Yan the result, Jiang Yan's mood undoubtedly became worse.

"Then what should we do now? There are no clues, how should we check?"

"Maybe we can try to wait for the thief to deliver it himself."

I just listened to Hill, who was standing in the tent, speak slowly...

"This batch of grain was just delivered at the beginning of the month. The thief stole so much grain in such a short period of time, which means that the other party urgently needs a lot of grain."

"If my guess is correct, the thieves should come back to steal food in the short term."

Facing Hill's speculation, Jiang Yan frowned slightly.

"What if the thief doesn't show up again?"

"That means that the thief is from the camp, and there are thieves in the camp!"

Hill said this with a firm expression.

After everyone was stunned for a moment, they also reacted.

That's right, if the thief is someone in the camp, the whole camp already knows about the food theft, and the other party will definitely stop in time to avoid exposing himself.

But if not, as long as they pretend that nothing happened, the thief will probably come to steal food again.

Just use this method to confirm whether there is an inner thief!
