Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 481 Mysterious Mole
When Zhang Wuxun was in Kangba Luo, he went hunting with Dan and others to feed the marabra in this lake. He also went with Dan to row a boat from the culvert into the underground river and into the depths of the mountains, and saw their habitat from afar.

Most of the Marpa Ningmu usually reside near a lava pool at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. The underground lake there connects directly to Lake Umbonga and is very deep from the surface. Without the guidance of the local people, it is impossible for outsiders to enter that place.

The Marponim are relatively peaceful. Thousands of years of breeding and evolution have given them high intelligence. Without accidents or natural enemies, they are the masters of the entire lake.

Even on days when the Khampa people regularly set out prey, they rarely come out in such a group; at most, only a few individuals will come out to patrol their territory.

The fact that Zhang Wuxun and his group were attacked by Maponimus before they had traveled far on the lake, as happened yesterday, can only mean that those Maponimus had been lurking underwater from the beginning and had never truly left.

Is it because of the appearance of that group of Germans half a month ago that the Maburnums have mobilized en masse? The fact that they have been entrenched at the bottom of the lake for half a month must mean they have sensed an unprecedented crisis.

What exactly did those Germans do here?
What puzzled Zhang Wuxun even more was why Maponim was so angry at the fat man's backpack. In fact, Maponim's angry sonic attack at the beginning was largely aimed at that backpack.

What special thing was in the fat man's backpack that caught Marponim's attention?
Are they detonators? If the Germans were to create an avalanche, they would inevitably carry a large number of detonators with them.

The valley inhabited by the Khampa people was not far from the outer edge of the territory patrolled by Maponim. If the Germans did indeed cause an avalanche on the mountain, this action would indeed cause the mountain to shake, and it would seem reasonable for Maponim to be alarmed and appear collectively.

But is Marponim really only targeting detonators?
It should be noted that Zhang Wuxun also carried detonators in his backpack, so Marponim's attack could not have been targeted only at the fat man.

Therefore, there is only one reasonable explanation for all of this: the Germans' use of detonators to blow up the mountain did indeed provoke Marpenim's anger, but at the same time, the Germans were carrying something that Marpenim found extremely repulsive, and the same thing had appeared in the fat man's backpack before.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wuxun felt a chill run down his spine. Someone had known about the situation in Wenbugongga Lake in advance and put that special thing in the fat man's backpack.

A mysterious mole has appeared within the team. Who could this person be? Is it Zhang Haixing or Feng, and what is their purpose in doing so?

Since he clearly knew that such a thing would cause a violent reaction from the Marponim in the lake, didn't he realize that doing so would also bring danger to himself and his team?

Zhang Haixing's identity was already questionable, and Feng was a wolf in sheep's clothing who only appeared honest after being exposed. Similarly, Zhang Wuxun could not rule out the possibility that the two were secretly cooperating.

Did Feng really not know the true background of the woman who played Bai Lingdang? Zhang Wuxun thought it was unlikely.

To stand out from so many members and become the primary core leader of the Quiet Company's branch in Motuo, Feng's abilities are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface. The things he said before were probably a mix of truth and falsehood.

Let's talk about Zhang Haixing. Before that woman suddenly attacked Wu Xie, she had intended to let her go. Given her usual arrogant personality, it's not surprising that she did this.

The key point is that Zhang Wuxun knew her true identity. Therefore, her decision to let the woman go was perfectly reasonable. She deliberately said she would let the woman go because she knew Zhang Wuxun and the other members of the Zhang family would try to stop her. From the beginning, she never intended for the woman to leave alive. With their mission failed and their identities exposed, the Wang family had no reason to exist anymore, and even in death, they wanted her to die with purpose.

According to Zhang Wuxun, Zhang Haixing's status was definitely much higher than that woman's. Before that day, that woman definitely did not know that Zhang Haixing was the same kind of person as her, but Zhang Haixing gave her a command through words, knowing that she was destined not to live, so she went to attack Wu Xie desperately without hesitation.

The reason why the possibility of these two secretly cooperating cannot be ruled out is because of the dead Wang family member who is the link between them.

There are too many possibilities. Fatty's backpack was taken by Mabonim, and Zhang Wuxun has no idea what the extra thing inside is. Only by figuring out the mole's ultimate goal can he accurately determine who the mole is.

Finding out the truth isn't actually that difficult. It's also related to what Zhang Wuxun is going to do next. He needs to first ascertain the safety of the Khampa tribe. Aning is still in Khampa, and she is an indispensable part of the whole plan.

Wu Xie and Fatty brought in canned soup from outside the tent and saw that Zhang Wuxun had already sat up and gotten dressed.

"You're awake. Are you feeling any better? You vomited a lot of blood last night." Wu Xie handed him the soup and baked biscuits, telling him the truth.

"It's alright, it's just a relapse of an old ailment, not too serious." Zhang Wuxun nodded nonchalantly, thanked him, and reached out to take the canned food.

Whether it was a lingering effect of his injury or because he had slept for too long and his arm was weak, he had to lift his hand twice before he could reach the can. He then put it aside, crawled out of his sleeping bag, got up, and went outside the tent to wash up.

Wu Xie watched his retreating figure, exchanged a glance with Fatty, and Fatty lowered his voice to remind him, "Tianzhen, you can't make the same mistake again this time."

Wu Xie's focus wasn't on that. Zhang Wuxun's figure was hidden by the tent. He recalled Zhang Wuxun's actions just now, his brow furrowed slightly. Hearing Fatty's words, he mumbled a perfunctory "Okay."

The fat man shook his head and sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to pack his things.

Outside the tent, the fog over the entire lake had completely dissipated, and a golden sun peeked out from behind the mountain, its rays filtering through the snow and spreading out in large swaths of dense light beneath the clouds.

Zhang Wuxun stared at the brightest spot for a long time, as if a thin veil was covering his eyes, making all the scenery hazy.

Two gray shadows flickered and drifted over from not far away. Zhang Wuxun judged from their outlines that the two people were Zhang Haixing and Feng.

He caught a faint, almost imperceptible whiff of blood, sneered inwardly, and turned away, ignoring it completely.
