The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

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

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

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

A bad feeling suddenly arises spontaneously.

Let the gang leader quickly run two steps forward.

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

The scene that caught his eyes made his heart twitch violently!

"Fuck! Old Zhang, come here quickly, someone has opened a hole in the back of our tent where we store food!!"

Hearing this, the gang leader called Lao Zhang rushed up.

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

"Call everyone over and count the supplies! Check the other tents that are stockpiling food too!"

The movement here quickly caught Jiang Yan's attention.

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, it was the gang leaders who found holes in the back of several tents where food was stored, and they are now counting supplies."

"Opened a hole?"

When Jiang Yan heard the news, his eyebrows frowned directly.

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

After saying a word, the joy of discovering the ore veins in the hearts of everyone in the investigation team was already diluted a lot.

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

It can be said to be the most important thing.

What if something goes wrong with this?

The counting results will come out soon.

When Jiang Yan saw it, his face suddenly became ugly.

At the beginning of this month, the food supplies just delivered by the food transportation team were directly reduced by one-fifth!

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

It is conceivable how big the loss of one-fifth is.

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

Although he is the captain of the investigation team.

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

After a while of deliberation.

The thorough investigation of the food theft case was handed over to Gou Shan and Hill.

As for Harold, he continued to be in charge of guarding their investigation team.

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

However, this place of bitter cold is covered with snow all the year round.

Traces like footprints, smells, etc.

Just for a while, after the wind and snow blow.

Basically nothing can be found.

"Gou Baihu, did you find anything with your nose?"

Hill's icy blue eyes scanned the surroundings, and she asked a casual question without seeing anything.

Hearing this, Gou Shan shook his head.

"We didn't find it. We don't know when the other party moved. The wind here is too strong. Generally, the smell will be blown away after more than half an hour."

Hill understands this.

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

The smell was blown away, which is also impossible.

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 investigate?"

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

I only heard Hill standing in the tent speak slowly...

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

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

Facing Hill's speculation, Jiang Yan frowned slightly.

"And what if the thief doesn't show up again?"

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

Hill said this with a firm face.

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

That's right, if the thief was someone from the camp, the entire camp already knew about the food theft, and the other party would definitely stop in time to avoid being exposed.

But if not, they only need to pretend that nothing happened, and the thief will come to steal food again in all likelihood.

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

6 Chapter Thirty

This matter was ordered quickly.

However, as the night passed, the kobolds ambushing in various food storage tents did not catch any food thief.

Early the next morning, although Jiang Yan was anxious, he still pretended to be a normal person according to Hill's wishes.

After breakfast, he left the camp with the expedition team and guards as usual, and went out to do geological exploration and map drawing.

Time passed by minute by minute.

It's different from the busy investigation team.

The work in the camp is relatively leisurely.

At noon, the investigation team basically ate dry food outside to make do with a meal.

Won't waste time rushing back on purpose.

The support staff who stayed in the camp were more free when they were not working.

After lunch, some of them got together to chat and fart.

Others retracted their tents and wanted to take a nap.

At the same time, some people went hunting nearby with bows and arrows, trying to see if they could catch some wild game, so that they could add another big dish to the dinner table.

Just under this relatively laid-back atmosphere.

Somewhere outside the camp, there was a slight movement...

Aware of this movement, several kobolds hiding in the food storage tent were shocked.

The slight sound produced by the soles of the feet stepping on the snow.

They can clearly feel the lightness of each other's footsteps, and the cautiousness that comes from their bones.

At this time, it is estimated that any slight abnormal noise will make the other party run away.

The kobolds who realized this held their breath.

Immediately afterwards, a white figure sneaked in through the hole in the back of the tent.

It wasn't until this moment that the kobolds finally saw each other's true colors.

I saw that figure had snow-white fur that was used as a protective color in the snow.

It has a long mouth, brown eyes, pointed ears, and a furry tail that is neither long nor short.

But it walks on two legs.

This is a fox man!

But it is different from the red foxes in their Myriad Worlds civilization.

At this time, the one who stole their food in front of him was a white fox.

It should be regarded as one of the branches of the fox people.

As soon as his thoughts were flying, the vulture had already taken down a bag of grain lightly and stuffed it into the hole.

At the same time, another hand was cooperatively stretched out from outside the hole, and took the food.

Obviously, there are quite a few foxes who came to steal food this time.

This group of vultures didn't know whether to say they were brave enough or cunning enough.

Generally, thieves would choose to steal things at night.

This is the habitual thinking of people.

So at night, the patrol strength will naturally increase.

And during the day, it will relax a little.

In addition, during the day, when the investigation team went out to work, a large number of escorts had to accompany them for protection.

There were far fewer guards left in the camp than at night.

This group of foxes obviously saw this point, so they chose to do it at noon!

After thoroughly confirming the identity of the food thief.

Gou Shan didn't dawdle any longer.

Just listen to it give orders.

The kobolds hiding in the grain pile jumped up one after another.

He rushed towards the fox who was stealing food.

The sudden situation caused the foxman's hair to explode.

At the same time, the action is also very neat.

He directly smashed the bag of food in his hand at the kobold who was rushing towards him.

Then using both hands and feet, showing amazing agility, he got out of the tent in a flash, and ran out without looking back!

It was hard to wait for these fox people to come to their door by themselves.

Now that things are going on, how can Gou Shan let them go?

With a wave of the kobold's short spear in his hand, he directly tore a huge hole in the tent, and then quickly chased after the vulpes who were trying to escape.

That's not a lot.

With a glance, it saw twenty or thirty fox people at least.

Many of the vulpers carried the food stolen from them on their shoulders.

It is estimated that every tent in their camp that stores food has been patronized by the other party.

Spotting one of the vultures, Gou Shan, who rushed a few steps, threw out the kobold short spear in his hand without hesitation.

Their kobold short spearmen also have long-range attack methods at any rate.

After throwing out a short spear, Gou Shan stretched out the hand behind him, and quickly pulled out the second short spear.
