Fourth Squad’s lounge.

Autruck came in, extending the money bag he had in hand towards him. “The bounty for the wanted criminals is set according to the squads that apprehend them. You collect this reward first. You also get another reward of a lower tier item. You can claim that at the front desk in a bit.”

The method for mission submission was a consensus reached by the three of them.

Submitting as a squad means the accomplishments were collectively attributed to the three of them.

This was in line with Wu Heng’s thinking, as killing three wanted felons single­handedly would be hard to explain.

Officially claiming the squad accomplished this carried more persuasive power. As for the matter of the second squad being aware of this, it was beyond his control.

Moreover, even if someone were to investigate, they wouldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

‘Thankyou, Team Leader. Let me treat you to dinner tonight,” said Wu Heng politely. 6

“No need, the deacons recently assigned tasks to the squads, to assist the guards in tracking criminals and rogue mercenaries. Now is not the time to celebrate.” Autruck sat down, poured himself a cup of tea.

“A tracking mission?”

“Our squad was also initially assigned, but as you killed three wanted criminals, we have essentially achieved our goal, no need to participate now Otherwise, we would need to patrol and search with the guards,” Autruck explained.

God.

So much for his quiet retirement, now he had to go on patrol. By killing the three men, he really did solve a lot of problems.

“Let’s go some other day then,” thought Wu Heng before continuing, “Team Leader, I wonder if I can apply for a second skeleton minion, it is pretty dangerous out there.”

Autruck sipped his tea and thought for a moment before replying, “I’ll talk to the deacon about this. Whether it gets approved will depend on the circumstances.”

“Alright.”

Autruck nodded and continued to ask, “How did you discover their intentions to harm you?”

To be able to prepare in advance, indicated that Wu Heng had known in advance that they were coming for him.

Cavma also glanced at him curiously, waiting for his response.

Wu Heng then recounted the discovery of someone entering his residence as well as the problems encountered during his conversation with the landlord. ‘I can’t say for certain, I was just speculating that they would probably act.” “How did you kill them yourself?” Cavina continued to inquire.

This was a question he didn’t have to answer; everyone had their secrets. However, Wu Heng had long premeditated his explanation.

He said: “Knowing in advance that they were going to act, I prepared ahead of time. When they walked in, I released thick smoke. As is widely known skeletons do not rely on eyesight, darkness and smoke cannot obstruct their vision, Skeleton Basson picked them off one by one.”

Widely known?

Who even knew about this!

We don’t have such a deep understanding of the undead.

This reason seemed to pass, a battle late at night, with preparations made in advance, the killing of three wanted criminals didn ‘t seem to pose any issues. Yet, something about it felt strange.

The three of them chatted in the lounge for a while, Autruck left for the training room, as Cavina and Wu Heng also got up to leave the lounge.

Arriving at the front hall.

Wu heng used his reward of a lower tier item to exchange for a [Dancing Light Skill] book before leaving the guild.

Commercial street, weapons shop.

“What are you buying today?” The musclebound and slick-skinned shop owner asked with a smile.

Wu Heng didn’t visit often, but he left an impression on the shop owner.

“I’m here to look at spears.”

“They are all over here, see what you like.”

Various types of spears hung on the side wall.

The cheapest one cost 4 silver and 70 copper coins, and the most expensive one cost 75 silver coins.

They varied in type and length.

Wu Heng took a look and pointed at the cheapest spear, saying, “I’ll take this one.”

The spearhead was about 40 centimeters long and the shaft was made of dark wood.

However, judging from the workmanship of the spearhead, it was much better than what was bought at the market.

The shop owner glanced at him and continued, “The shaft is treated with ashwood, could easily be chopped off in a fight. This spear is suitable for driving off wild beasts in the village or for training purposes.” “That’s just what I need it for, driving off beasts in our village.” The store owner nodded in understanding, “Then there’s no problem.” “Can I get a discount if I buy a lot?” Wu Heng asked, as usual.

“That would depend on how much you’re buying.”

Wu Heng thought about how many he could carry away without attracting unwanted attention.

“I’ll start with 10.”

“10 isn’t a lot, the discount probably won’t be much.”

“I’ll need more in the future and I’ll be coming back here to buy them.” The two of them haggled briefly, and the store owner gave him a 50 copper- coin discount.

Having paid the money, Wu Heng and Basson carried the spears out of the weapons shop and headed towards their residence.

Upon returning to their quarters.

Basson tidied up the room, cleaning up the blood stains on the floor.

The fight last night was intense.

The already scant furniture was largely shattered, the walls and floor were also marred with numerous sword slashes.

The landlord would probably have him pay for some furniture when he sees the mess.

Wu Heng sat at his desk, flipping through his newfound skill book Flipping through page by page, following the process to unlock the skill, at the same time, he tried to understand the magic of this world.

If only he was this hardworking in his past, he might have gotten into a reputable university.

As time passed.

A system prompt appeared: [Skill Unlocked: Dancing Light Skill.] [Dancing Light Skill: You can create a floating light source.] With a thought, he released Dancing Light Skill.

Immediately, several rays of light began to revolve around his body, emitting a faint light.

He tried to make the light touch the items beside him, but the rays of light circumvented the items and continued to circle him.

It appeared to be unable to be used as an offensive tool.

“That works, can use it as a flashlight.”

After putting away his spell, he tidied up and set off with Basson towards the Zombie World.

Roof.

He found a map of the local area, spreading it out in front of him to study. Thanks to a cycling enthusiast tenant, his room hosted many maps of various places, including a city map and route map of this city.

Most of the zombies within the community have been cleared out.

There were still some who wandered in, but they did not pose much of a threat to him.

The next step was to venture outside the community and explore more places.

After careful thought, Wu Heng had three targets in mind.

First, the location where the survivors who had tried to escape by bus a few days ago had perished.

Using a pen, he circled the location where the bus had capsized.

They took such a risk to dash on the streets, those people surely had a destination in mind.

It could be a survivor base, or some safer place.

In the bus, there might be some clues to be found.

Then, with the pen, he drew separate circles towards the southwest and the north.

There’s a pedestrian street in the southwest direction, near which there were two gold shops and a bank.

^her the bank held gold was uncertain, but the gold shops surely had plenty

Taking the gold and silver back to Black Stone Town would make him an instant tycoon.

The other circle on the north side was a nearby police station.

He could check if they had any bullets.

These three points were his next targets.

There was a giant zombie in the vicinity of the bus, capable of overturning a bus, it would be difficult to deal with.

He would encounter three mutated dogs while heading to the pedestrian street whose speed the horde of skeletons could not match, posing a difficult fight. That left the police station.

“Had I bullets last night, it wouldn’t have been such a hassle.”

The wanted criminals last night served as a warning.

If he had bullets then, he could have executed a justice shoot, and emptied the clip.

“Off to the police station it is then.”
