三级a午夜

With Wu Heng’s introduction, the three skeletons stepped forward in turn, displaying remarkable cooperation.

The two coroners stood still for a while.

Eventually, someone spoke up, “Are we being asked to examine the undead?”

“Ah, the combat situation with the Hammer Party was quite urgent yesterday, so I had to turn them into undead first,” Wu Heng explained.

This was not merely an explanation for the two coroners, but also for the recording later.

The association would consider the reasons later.

Without saying more, the two started correlating the remains of the skeletons with the details on the warrants.

They carefully confirmed certain characteristics, acting as though touching the skeletons was taboo.

About half an hour later…

The two of them had recorded the findings on their notebooks.

One of them said, “Judging from the skeletal features, they closely match the descriptions on the warrants, but it’s our first time judging criminals through undead servants, we need to wait for the executive to confirm.”

Verifying the deaths of wanted criminals wasn’t restricted to autopsies.

After all, combat comes with risks and nobody could guarantee that the corpses could be brought back every time.

Therefore, once an executive could vouch for it, they could confirm the criminal’s death, provided that the criminal didn’t reappear later.

Wu Heng nodded, then he took out a tablet, scrolled through the photos he took earlier, and showed them to the coroners, “I also have images, taken at the time of killing, for you to confirm.”

The two accepted it, and after inspecting the strange gadget in their hands, looked at the images on the screen.

From the images, they could tell for certain, that the body was Skull Crusher, the leader of the Hammer Party.

And thus, the undead in front of them was probably him.

They logged this observation in their notebooks.

“Captain Wu Heng, we’ve recorded all the information you’ve provided, you might have to wait several days for the results. We’ll inform you as soon as we have them,” they said.

Wu Heng nodded, “Alright!”

Then they all left together.

The skeletons put their helmets back on their heads before leaving.

…

Back in the squad’s rest area…

All three squad members were in the room.

When they saw Wu Heng entering, they stood up in unison, “Captain!”

“Hmm, Mata, is there anything troubling you?” Wu Heng asked.

“Nothing at all, Captain,” Mata replied.

Wu Heng nodded, sat down, and continued, “Regarding Burke’s incident, I’ve notified the front desk. When the time comes, Galo Berley, you’ll follow up. After the compensation fund comes in, send it to his family.”

Swordsman Galo Berley agreed with a nod.

An undercover agent assigned nearby also received a fallen identity.

His apparent death wasn’t too hard to bear, and his family could get a sum of compensation money.

It can be considered as doing the most that can be done for him.

“Captain, will you still carry out tasks with us after becoming a City Lord?” Duke asked.

The other two also looked up attentively.

Mata only heard about yesterday’s happenings from Duke when he arrived today.

Wu Heng had directly taken half a city from the people in the inner city district.

The area where Mata lived was now under Wu Heng’s jurisdiction.

He was very curious about how their Captain would manage the Outer City Area in the future.

“Yes, why the question?” Wu Heng asked.

“Hehe, just asking. Isn’t it somewhat beneath a City Lord like you to hunt down wanted criminals with us?” Duke scratched his head and stated.

“I am still the Captain of the Association, I still need to abide by the rules,” Wu Heng replied.

After this feat with Skull Crusher, he should be able to become a Vice-executive.

Then he wouldn’t have to undertake missions so frequently.

Therefore, he still needed to follow the interior rules of the Association.

The squad members sat in the rest room chatting awhile.

Wu Heng stood up and said, “Let’s go, let’s tour my half of the city and then rest early.”

“Alright!”

Picking themselves up, they followed him out.

…

The Outer City Area was still in chaos.

There were no bodies visible on the streets, but dark red bloodstains and bits of flesh could be seen everywhere, even in the gaps between bricks.

The doors of the shops along the way were still shut.

Most of the windows and doors had been smashed, either in combat or looted afterward.

Inside was dim, and apart from the buildings themselves, tables and counters had disappeared.

After touring his designated area, Wu Heng found a pub that was still open for business.

“Let’s go have lunch and then take a rest,” he said.

They went into the pub together and sat down in a corner.

The pub wasn’t crowded, there were just three tables of patrons in the large hall.

They ordered some food.

Just as they started chatting, a man walked in from outside. He went directly to the raised stage usually used by the bards and shouted, “Has everyone heard?”

Everyone in the pub turned to look at him, both wary and curious.

Seeing that everyone was watching him, the man’s voice got louder, “A vile necromancer using the lives of innocent city residents to threaten City Lord Ereno has occupied the East and North District.”

“The residents of these two districts are just like livestock ready for slaughter, and could be used by him in his evil magical experiments.”

“We must resist, we must unite to resist his rule…”.

The man on the stage was making a passionate speech like an orator.

Meanwhile, the pub owner stood behind the counter, still in his original position, listening to the man loudly ranting.

Hearing the man’s words, the people inside the pub started murmuring among themselves.

The incident with the Hammer Party had just ended yesterday, and they had not heard about the necromancer occupying the Outer City Area yet.

“Who told you that?” someone asked.

The man stepped forward, his eyes wide open, and said, “Of course, the news came from the inner city. The Iron Guard Knights focused all their energy on the Hammer Party, but they didn’t expect the damned Necromancer to seize the opportunity. To save more lives, they had to agree to his demands and ceded two city districts.”

As soon as the words came out, the room fell silent again.

Someone recalled and said: “During last night’s fight, I used a Tamed Beast to get a look, and indeed there were a large number of carrion, covered with green toxic fog, so it should be accurate.”

“So does that mean the East and North districts have become the Necromancer’s territories?” someone asked.

“What difference does it make for us? The Iron Guard Knights only oversee the inner city anyway, the gangs manage the outer districts, how does it impact us if someone else is in charge?”

The man on the stage shouted again: “Foolish! What is a Necromancer? It’s a profession that experiments on living people, dissecting them alive to produce the undead. Everyone will become his experimental subjects, to the point where death will be hard to come by…..”

This…

Everyone present was stunned.

They had never dealt with a Necromancer before, but they did have a bad reputation outside.

Just then.

The door of the tavern was pushed open.

Two determined gang members came in with a dozen skeletons clad in leather armor.

The man on stage halted, immediately clammed up, pretending to examine the ceiling.

One of the Pinned Gang members scanned the tavern and asked directly, “Nobody’s causing any trouble, right?”

The tavern owner welcomed them with a fawning smile, “There’s no trouble, what can I do for you gentlemen…?”

The gang member said: “Starting now, our Pinned Gang is in charge of patrolling this area. There is a patrol point 200 meters out, you can find us there if you need anything.”

“Oh, okay.” The tavern keeper immediately responded.

“Alright then, carry on with your business!”

The gang member was about to leave after saying so.

Wu Heng suddenly stood up, “Wait!”

In the dimly lit corner, the gang member frowned and looked closely, upon recognising Wu Heng, he immediately dipped his waist, “Captain Wu Heng, Sister-in-law asked us to patrol.”

“Right, good job.”

“Do you have any orders, Captain?”

The atmosphere in the tavern became tense.

The man on the stage looked anxiously toward this corner.

Wu Heng ordered directly: “Apprehend him.”

As soon as the man on the stage heard this, he turned and ran.

The members of the Pinned Gang reacted swiftly, “Stop him!”

After a chase around the tavern, the man was held down, with a knife against his neck.

“Captain, how should we handle him?” a member of the Pinned Gang asked.

“Take him to Wen Mansha.”

“Okay!” With a wave of his hand, the member left with the man in tow.

Wu Heng also stood up, leading his team members out.

Before walking out the door, he looked back and said: “Close the tavern, don’t invite trouble.”

The tavern owner was already sweating profusely.

As he mopped his brow, he nodded, “Yes, yes.”

Upon exiting the tavern, Wu Heng said to his team members: “You all go back first, we’ll see if the vice-executive has arrived at the association tomorrow.”

“Captain, don’t you need us?” Duke asked.

“Go home, the city has been chaotic recently, take care of your families.”

Duke nodded, “Alright, Captain.”

Everyone went their separate ways.

…

Pinned Gang headquarters.

By the courtyard, five people were tied up, all brought back from patrol.

One of them was the man Wu Heng had encountered, who was preaching resistance against the Necromancer in the tavern. The others were caught giving speeches from soapboxes on the street side.

The contents were similar, even the sequence of statements was the exact same.

It goes without saying, someone had probably orchestrated this to agitate the residents.

“How should we handle this?”

Wen Mansha asked. As the courtyard door opened, two more bound men were brought in.

The number of captives grew to seven.

“Those from the inner city really aren’t giving up, stirring up this drama.” Wu Heng said.

Laisia from the Consortium had warned him.

Those people from the inner city may no longer dare to step foot on the battlefield, but they are getting better at using plots and schemes.

It seemed that this was one of them now.

“Go ahead and kill them. Once more people die, others will stop talking nonsense.” Wen Mansha said.

Hearing the command to kill, all the bound men’s eyes revealed fear.

They didn’t seem as impassioned as when they were giving speeches. They too, were afraid of death.

Wu Heng thought for a moment. Indeed there was no better solution, and the Pinned Gang had nowhere to keep prisoners, sending them to the association would also deviate from established procedure.

“Go ahead, kill them!” Wu Heng commanded.

Wen Mansha waved her hand.

In the stunned gaze of a few people, a member of the Pinned Gang stepped forward and killed all of them.

Wu Heng used the Bone Manipulation Skill with the corpses standing up, donned with leather armour and sent out for patrol.

“What do we do next?” Wen Mansha asked again.

“We continue with normal patrols for now and try to reduce combat situations.”

“Okay!”

Wu Heng nodded, gave a few more orders, and left everything else to Wen Mansha.

…

Returning to his residence.

Through the boundary door, he went to the Zombie World.

Seeing his convoy stop, Wu Heng headed downstairs.

Upon seeing him, Li Yahong immediately smiled and waved slightly. The business car drove over.

Qiangzi and the others, carrying stacks of copied papers, moved them into the hotel.

“They were printed overnight, a total of more than two thousand copies.”
