Chapter 62:, Squad Short by 1


    Wu Heng and Basen sprinted forward, trying to catch up with their fleeing target.


    Between the residences, the road was intricate and difficult to navigate.


    Upon entering an alleyway, they heard fierce hammering noises from inside.


    Walking into the alley, Wu Heng saw a brown bear, gripping a target that shone like a source of light, heavily hung on the ground.


    Another moment passed, followed by three more in quick session.


    Then the target was thrown heavily against the wall.


    The fugitive slid down the wall and didn’t rise again.


    Phew-!


    The brown bear let out a sigh of relief, transforming back into Yuli the next second, her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, sticking her slightly curled bangs to her forehead.


    “All done!” Yuli put up a thumbs up.


    “Impressive, you’re definitely my teammate.” Wu Heng also gave her a thumbs up.


    “Of course!”


    Wu Heng nced at the dead fugitive’s body, Basen moved forward and delivered another blow.


    There were no experience points, it must have been Yuli who killed him directly.


    “What should we do with the body?” Yuli continued to ask.


    “We should bring it back to the professionals’ guild. They’ll verify his identity and then award us the bounty.”


    “What are you going to do with the bounty when you get it?”


    “Um, I haven’t decided, what about you?”


    “First, I’ll eat at every tavern in the city, then go to the ck market and buy some stuff I like.” Yuli crossed her arms as she talked about her n for the bounty.


    Wu Heng nced at her, then at the body, “This is just a normal criminal, there’s not that much bounty.”


    “Ah ok, I’ll go to the taverns first then.”


    The two guarded the body, chatting while Cavina hurried over.


    Seeing the body on the floor, she also let out a sigh of relief.


    She said, “Let’s go back and talk. Let’s take the body.”


    “Basen, you carry the body.”


    Basen picked up the body, the three of them then headed towards the tavern. Upon return to the Mermaid Tavern, there was quite a crowd gathered outside. There were even patrols guarding the vicinity.


    Autruck stood at the entrance, two bodies of fugitives beside him.


    Seeing his own people returning, he nodded, saying, “Let’s go, back to the guild first.”


    The bodies were put in a carriage, heading to the guild together.


    Returning to the guild.


    The three were chatting in the breakroom.


    Capturing three wanted criminals so effectively and efficiently was worthwhile.


    Not to mention the extra ie, it also proved that the small team was still quite capable.


    Despite the fact that the chase and capture seemed a bit awkward at times.


    But the result was good, and the target was sessfully killed.


    Soon, Autruck came back from outside, holding several bags of money in his hand.


    “The identities have been confirmed, they were all wanted criminals. Here is the reward, plus the money they carried on them. Each person should have about 120 silver coins, with Yuli providing valid information, she gets an additional 10%.”


    These criminals had indeed done quite a bit of work.


    The bounty for the three of them totalled only slightly over a hundred silver coins. When distributed, they each got over a hundred.


    Unfortunately, they didn’t spend much, they were very cautious in the tavern before eventually being killed by the team.


    “No need for that, just split it evenly with everyone!” Yuli scratched her head, looking a bit embarrassed.


    “This is how it’s distributed, next time when someone gets urate information, they can also get a bonus.” Cavina said, hugging Yuli’s shoulder.


    “Alright, thankyou everyone.” Yuli happily epted her share.


    Wu Heng figured she probably didn’t need the money, not to mention her aunt owned the Money Cat, and it was rumoured that she also had a private army.


    When Yuli first came to the guild, the armor she was wearing was a piece of magic equipment.


    At least her background wouldn’t be ordinary.


    But the little girl earning her first money by her own efforts must be quite pleased.


    Autruck continued, “This mission also revealed our deficiencies, in terms of reconnaissance ability, the predictability of our attacks, and theck of measures to restrict our targets.”


    Well…


    There are indeed post-mission analyses.


    For reconnaissance, Xiao Xiao was an excellent scout, but her abilities weren’t well-disyed.


    Yuli’s crow could also do reconnaissance, but if she were to do so, the team would be short of one person. They couldn’t ensure bothbat and reconnaissance could be carried out simultaneously.


    Besides, Yuli’s reconnaissance skills still needed improvement.


    As for the attack methods, Autruck and Cavina were both ordinary melee fighters, Wu Heng’s handgun was another, and Yuli transforming into animals was decent as well.


    The issue of target restriction, they were probably referring to the incident of the criminal escaping.


    They indeedcked methods to control targets.


    No one spoke and they all continued listening.


    “Moving forward, let’s all be mindful of these few points and find ways topensate for our shorings.”


    “Right, Captain.” The few of them nodded.


    Autruck also smiled, “Alright, our team’s mission has been sessful today. It’s also gettingte, everyone head back and rest. We can do more missions like this in the future.”


    “Ok!”


    Everyone stood up and headed out.


    They said their goodbyes at the entrance to the guild.


    Wu Heng hailed a carriage and stopped just outside the crowded area, before walking back to his ce.


    Back at home, he ate something.


    Took out his swordsmanship manual, and began to train ording to it.


    The next day.


    ZombieWorld, rooftop.


    Wu Heng stood on the rooftop, starting to confirm the levels of the skeletons. Apart from Basen, Jianyi and Jian’er, who were brought from ck Stone Town. The skeletons from this world also got significantly upgraded.


    1 level five skeleton, 18 level four skeletons, 77 level three skeletons, and the rest were level two and level one, numbering over five hundred.


    Among which there were several level four skeletons that were about to rise to level five and unlock the Basic Soul property.


    They could better understand instructions and their movements wouldn’t be so stiff.


    After confirming the skeleton numbers and status, he led the skeleton squad, went downstairs, and directly went out of the residential area.


    The path to a ‘Hardware Store’ was only half clear when it got dyed by the survivors.


    Today he had to head over there again to get the steel material.


    He cleaned up the northern road yesterday, today he had to clean up the remaining part.


    Little East Auto Repair, rooftop.


    Li Yahong and others were cautiously lying on the rooftop, watching the skeleton squad passing through.


    One of them said, “What’s the story behind these guys? The stuff they’re wearing looks like stuff from the movies.”


    “They don’t look like a superpowered team, can they use superpowers, and bring out such armour and weapons?”


    “I remember there’s a Taoist Temple on the Suhua Mountain behind us, I wonder if it can restrain these skeletons.”


    No one answered him, another person said, “It seems like they’re heading to the Building Materials Street. Didn’t Qiangzi escape from there? He said there were a lot of zombies.”


    The one called Qiangzi immediately turned to respond, “Yes, there were originally a lot of zombies in that area, they’re going there, I don’t know if they can win.”


    After a brief silence.


    Someone else asked, “Sister Hong, if they can’t make it back, should we still make iron spears?”


    Li Yahong watched the receding crowd of skeletons and said, “Make them.’
