Chapter 916, Breakthrough?
Accompanied by simultaneous operations on both sides.
On the outskirts of Kaolin City and Oasis City, news of a wild beast attacking humans and causing death soon spread through the construction team's camp.
For a while, it also made people panic, and even the construction efficiency in the past few days has been reduced.
Gawain, realizing that he couldn't go on like this, sighed.
And the next morning, all the workers were gathered in the camp and had a morning meeting.
"In recent days, the construction efficiency of the project has decreased significantly!"
While speaking, Gawain shook the project schedule in his hand decently.
The workers standing below all subconsciously lowered their heads.
"I know what you're worried about, but what do you have to worry about? There are a hundred soldiers in this camp who are keeping you safe! ”
"And Gaoling City has also sent a special force to deal with this matter."
"Maybe the beast has already been disposed of by the soldiers in charge of the clean-up mission while I was talking."
"It's not long before the winter, and I think everyone wants to get more wages at the end of the month, so that they and their families can live a more stable and comfortable life in this winter."
"But with the current work efficiency, there is no way to achieve this goal!"
The duration of the whole morning meeting was not long, only ten minutes.
Gawain knew exactly what to say at such a time.
After the morning meeting, the workers were relieved.
That's right, there are so many soldiers in the camp to protect them, what exactly are they afraid of?
Working hard and getting paid more at the end of the month is what they need to care about.
As soon as I thought of this, all of them quickly cheered up, and the work efficiency slowly rose to the level it should have.
At the same time, on the other side, a team of 100 people sent from Gaoling City quickly arrived in the hilly area and launched a search mission.
However, the task did not go particularly smoothly.
The wild area, after all, is still very large, and it is not as easy as it is said to search for it in a short time.
At the end of the day, the hundred-man team sent to investigate can be said to have found nothing.
This made the centurion, who was the leader of the team, couldn't help but sigh.
Then looking at the soldiers who had already assembled in front of him, he said in a loud voice......
"That's all for today's mission, everyone is ready to camp for the night, and continue tomorrow!"
However, at this moment, a squad leader standing in the first row of the phalanx suddenly raised his hand.
"Report!"
"What's the matter? Say! ”
"Report to the centurion, one of the lowly squads didn't make it back in time!"
The centurion frowned when he heard this.
"You take a small team of people later, and go to the area he is responsible for."
"Understood!"
However, after the meeting ended, the team leader and the team members searched again, but still could not find the missing soldier.
After nightfall, the centurion, who got the news, had two furrowed eyebrows, which were about to be twisted together.
He had a sense of foreboding.
And as it turned out, his hunch was right.
The body of the missing soldier was found two days later.
The disemboweling death was almost the same as the previous deceased, which made the atmosphere of the entire military camp instantly become solemn.
Faced with such a situation, the soldier, who was a centurion, naturally responded at the first time.
"From today onwards, all soldiers work in groups of five, act collectively, do not disperse! Take care of each other! ”
However, this approach doesn't seem to have done much.
By the fourth day, a soldier who had been on duty at night had disappeared......
"What's going on? I should have said that it is necessary to work in groups of five and act together, and it is the same with night patrols, why is one person missing? What were you four doing at the time?! ”
Faced with the centurion's questioning, the faces of the remaining four soldiers were full of hardship.
"Report to the centurion, at that time, Lao Gao said that it was convenient to go, but out of prudence, Lao Li and I also followed, who knows, who knows......"
"Who knows what?"
Looking at the soldier who was spitting and spitting, the centurion's mood was also a little irritable.
"How do you know that as soon as you turn your head, people and people will be gone......"
“……”
At this moment, even the soldier who said this was full of disbelief in his tone, let alone the centurion who heard it.
A big living person, turned his head and disappeared?
Can it still evaporate out of thin air?
To be honest, the centurion thinks this thing is nonsense!
But what should be asked, you still have to ask.
inexplicably folded two subordinates, if this matter can't be found out, it will be his great dereliction of duty.
"Think about it, if there was any sound, or something else that was wrong."
Faced with this question, Lao Li, who had been standing beside him, as if he was preoccupied, raised his hand.
"Report to the centurion, if there is something wrong, there seems to be a sudden gust of wind blowing over, and in the corner of my eye, it seems that I have caught a glimpse of a black shadow flickering past, and the speed is ......very fast."
Getting new information lifts the centurion's spirits.
Although there are no real clues in this information, it is better than nothing.
"Why didn't you just say that?"
"Report to the centurion, it was late at night, the light was dim, and there was no moon, I thought I was dazzled by the mistake, and besides, the wind on the hills at night does not seem to be an uncommon thing, but the wind blew too suddenly, centurion, you asked, I remembered."
The centurion, who heard this, nodded.
However, in the face of this situation, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only ask the soldiers under his command to be more vigilant and more careful in the process of performing their tasks.
A few days later, they found the missing soldier that night, apparently a corpse.
The method of death was exactly the same as the previous death, which made the atmosphere of the entire army more and more delicate.
Gradually, rumors began to circulate among the soldiers.
Said one is more evil than the other.
Thankfully, it was probably their caution that played a role, and there were no more cases of soldiers going missing in the period that followed.
And it was at this time that the task of the search team had a new progress.
In a hilly area, they found a footprint.
The size of those footprints was much smaller than the size of a normal adult human, and about the same size as a child.
This discovery was a major breakthrough for the search team that had not been able to find a breakthrough for a long time.
After conducting a test and recording, they hurriedly sent the report up. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Lord of Civilization's Ten Thousand Worlds Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
