It is likely a deranged killer, or someone of a similarly twisted mentality.

The female beastman nodded, saying, “Alright, I’ll have people prepare. As soon as there is any discovery, we’ll apprehend them immediately.” Each shop has its own enforcers.

In other words, the industries behind these shops are all backed by gangs.

The main issue remains that the identity of the killer is unknown.

Wu Heng just arrived and managed to find some leads. There might be hope if we continue the investigation.”

“You can assign some people, but don’t leak the information.”

“Okay!”

After leaving the tavern, he returned to the association.

Duke asked, “Captain what was that skill you used? How can it make the dead talk?”

“It’s a Necromancer’s skill.”

“Oh, can I learn too?”

“Each profession has its own characteristics. Concentrate on enhancing your own profession, our energy is limited.”

Back then, when he went around asking where to buy skill books, Autruck had said something similar.

Today, he can finally repeat it to Duke.

“Alright!”

Wu Heng continued to ask, “So, how do I go about getting furniture for the house?”

“You could get someone to make some, or you could buy ready-made ones.” “Isn’t there a renovation team that can handle the entire decoration?” Wu Heng asked further.

There are indeed shops that sell furniture, but he didn’t want to buy things piece by piece.

Additionally, he knows nothing about interior layouts.

“Ao, in that case, you might as well put up a commission. Let the association supervise it, or else if the renovation is not done well, they will just run away.” Wu Heng agreed with this approach and proceeded to the front desk to post a renovation commission.

The sun had set and darkness gradually descended.

A figure wrapped in a cloak appeared at the tavern’s entrance, negotiating prices with a prostitute in hushed tones.

Soon, she broke into a smile, playfully putting her arm around his and leading him into a nearby alley.

As they entered further into the alley.

The man began to cling tighter to the woman, with one hand reaching behind him for a hidden dagger.

Wu Heng sat in the tavern, listening to the loud buzz, while drinking beer.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly flew back and disappeared into his body.

Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed, and he abruptly stood up, grabbing Duke, and dashed outside.

Meanwhile, the female beastman behind the counter also changed complexion, signalling for some burly beastmen to follow him.

A wave of chaos ensued.

All the patrons in the tavern were taken aback by the sudden commotion.

In the dim alleyway.

The man was above the woman, one hand around her neck while the other gripped the dagger, slowly stabbing towards her throat.

“Your terror pleases me. Excellent, I love the expression on your face.” The man’s face displayed a crazed fanaticism as he whispered.

Her eyes were filled with terror. She struggled unsuccessfully to fend off the inevitable stab.

Just when the dagger was about to strike open her throat.

Suddenly, four rotating balls of light flew in, illuminating the alleyway.

This was immediately followed by several deafening bangs.

Bang bang bang-!

After the gunshots.

The man looked down at his body in confusion.

His armor had several perforations, with blood slowly seeping out.

Hiss-!

The man, looking at the figure at the entrance of the alley, hissed like a venomous snake.

With a leap, he soared three meters into the air.

His cloak spread out like wings, swooping down from the sky towards the incoming figure.

His fast and uncanny mode of attack.

Did not seem like that of a low-level professional at all.

“Captain, be careful.” Duke brandished his battle axe, intending to charge and engage.

Wu Heng grabbed him, “Stayback.”

He then ordered those by his side, “Kill him.”

Bang bang bang-!

Bang bang bang-!

Basen and Bawudong, holding their guns, fired torrentially at the figure swooping down from the sky.

The diving figure faltered in the air.

Under the onslaught of bullets, he fell from the sky.

The gunfire continued, bullets showering into the alley.

The black-robed man staggered to his feet.

He looked at his body, his chest was virtually pulp.

Blood gushed out.

“Damn it!”

The man cursed, stumbling down to his knees, no longer able to control his body.

Wu Heng took aim and shot a bullet through his forehead.

[Experience +25.]

At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard from behind.

A crowd of beastmen squeezed into the alleyway.

Looking at the dead body with a chest blasted to pulp, their faces registered surprise.

A few seconds later.

He turned the man into a sieve?

Duke walked over to the corpse, removed his helmet to take a look, then scratched his head and said, “Captain, it seems like he was a criminal wanted by the guild.”

A wanted criminal?

Those were the guys that gave entire cities a hard time.

Is the guild now adroit at hunting down wanted criminals?

Faster than slaughtering chickens even.

“Drag him out.”

Duke dragged the body out.

And threw it under the oil lamp. Wu Heng and the female beastman from the tavern came over for a closer look.

They weren’t sure if he was a wanted criminal, but they knew for certain that he was the murderer of the tavern woman.

The outfit and features all matched.

“It’s him!”

“It should be. Thank you all for your help,” the female beastman from the tavern immediately expressed her gratitude.

“You’re welcome.”

The beastwoman thought for a bit, then looked at Wu Heng and the others, saying: “The next time you come by the tavern, your drinks are on the house.”

Wu Heng nodded, not saying much.

He asked Duke to carry the body, and they all headed back to the upper city.

First, they went to the guild, told the member on duty what happened, and left the corpse in the morgue.

Once night fell, after saying goodbye to Duke, everyone went home.

They would return tomorrow to collect the bounty.

Arriving back home.

Wu Heng returned to the Zombieland.

Skeletons filled the neighborhood, the ones with souls were training non-stop.

Out from the hallway came a dwarf alchemist, of shorter stature.

In his withered hand, he carried a white plastic box.

He quickly came over to Wu Heng, slightly bowed in greeting, and handed over the plastic box in his hand.

Wu Heng took it and opened it to find healing potions, spirit potions, and a bottle of detoxifying potion.

Ever since the ‘Yazde’ incident.

Wu Heng hadn’t consumed any corpse cores for a while.

Partly because the second-level corps core he had consumed before had caused some problems, the pain and symptoms were different from before. He thought he would take some time to ease the pressure on his body.

Now the Dwarf Skeleton could regularly produce ‘Customized Antidote Potion’.

He could proceed with consumption again.

“Hmm, keep producing antidotes for the first level corpse cores, let’s stock up,” Wu Heng took the potions and continued speaking.

The skeleton Dwarf bowed again, then retreated.

Wu Heng returned to his room, taking out all the [Customized Antidote Potion] from his space ring.

Between what he had not used before, and what the Dwarf Skeleton produced today.

There were a total of three bottles.

He took out three first-level corpse cores, consecutively consumed them and used the antidote.

[Agility+1.]

[Agility +1.)

[Strength +1.]

With the prompts appearing, his attribute values increased.

However, the increased attributes had diminished.

Previously, consuming one would increase two attribute points, but now it became one.

This appeared to be due to the increased physical attribute. After reaching a certain value, improvement began to slow.

[Name: Wu Heng]

[Occupation: Necromancer]

[Level: 5 (9622/14000)]

[Attributes: Strength 23, Agility 24, Constitution 25, Intelligence 25, Perception 15, Charisma 18.]

After reviewing his attributes, he went to bed to rest.

In the morning, at the butler’s office.

Butler ‘Gomez’ looked at the information in his hand, then at Wu Heng.

“You killed a wanted criminal?”

He had just received the autopsy report this morning.

After identifying the corpse, it was confirmed to be a criminal wanted at level 9 or above.

Seeing their small numbers and that they were a recently established team.

Assigning them a simple task, they went and killed a wanted criminal, all in a day’s work.

Before Wu Heng said anything.

The butler continued, “Fine, you did well this time. Go to the front desk to register for your bounty!”

“Oh, okay!”

After coming out from the butler’s office, Wu Heng directly went to the front desk to hand in the task and collect the bounty.

Back when he was a regular member, Autruck did all these things. Now that he was a team captain, he realized there was such a process.

After collecting the bounty, Wu Heng returned to the lounge.

Duke, the beastman, was sitting in a chair waiting for him.

He gave him half of the split bounty.

Duke scratched his head out of modesty and said, “Captain, I really should take less. I didn’t really help with anything, and even got a free meal…I feel a bit embarrassed.”

Wu Heng laughed, then threw the bag of money directly to him. “We are a team, any achievement is a collective honor.”

“Captain, you sure are cultured.”
