137: A situation with frequent problems

"Should we send this thief to the leader?"

Gu Qinghan looked at the man pinned to the ground by Little Black, then turned to Yang Tianci and asked.

This was his second day in the Patrol Team, and he had finally caught someone stealing.

According to the pamphlet he received earlier, such people were to be sent to the Gathering Place's leader for punishment.

Yang Tianci glanced at the man, slowly shook his head, and what he said made Gu Qinghan frown:

"Not necessary recently. Just send him directly to Captain Huang to be locked up with the others."

"Why?"

"Our leader hasn't appeared for several days. Even if we wanted to send him over, we can't find him."

Yang Tianci shrugged, then looked at the captured man.

This was a newly joined Professional who, as soon as he moved in, took advantage of the upstairs residents' inattention and stole a lot of food from their homes.

When discovered, the guy even directly attacked. Fortunately, no one was injured or killed.

Gu Qinghan felt a bit annoyed at this moment. He had originally thought he could use this opportunity to get closer to the Squinty-eyed Man.

Through these past two days of understanding, he learned that the other party was named Cui Rang.

Cui Rang's disappearance caused a slight irritation to rise in Gu Qinghan's heart.

However, he couldn't do anything about it.

Yesterday, he killed a Mutated Creature that had entered the Gathering Place, which lit up Gu Qinghan's next soul fire, which was just a hair's breadth away.

Currently, Gu Qinghan had reached level 23 and was still number one on the three rankings.

Moreover, the two soul fires Gu Qinghan obtained after completing his second trial mission did not bring him any amplification or enhancement.

The first one manifested a phantom of a large door, but it couldn't be opened.

The second soul fire made the phantom of that large door slightly more solid, but it still couldn't be opened.

Gu Qinghan felt that it might require more soul fire to open this large door.

Now, every level-up was incredibly difficult, so it was imaginable that the benefits gained after that large door was pushed open would be extremely powerful.

"There's a Professional who's gone mad in the north of the Gathering Place! Send people over quickly!"

Suddenly, a nervous-looking Professional ran from a distance, waving at Gu Qinghan's small team.

Yang Tianci's expression changed. The words "gone mad" in their Patrol Team referred to someone who had turned into the state of that woman from yesterday.

He handed the person Gu Qinghan had caught to the Professional responsible for standing guard nearby, and then, taking Gu Qinghan and the others, rushed towards that direction.

Within a few minutes, they saw the continuous flashes of skill light in the distance.

"Han Zhijun?"

Yang Tianci looked at the person surrounded by everyone, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Kong Yan glanced at the person and asked curiously:

"Captain, do you know him?"

"He's the captain of a combat team, level 17, with strength similar to mine. How could he have become like this?

The previous person in charge of the nearest material collection point was his mother."

Gu Qinghan's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected this guy to be the son of that rude old woman.

At this moment, He Jianan also learned the specific situation from people nearby and ran back, saying:

"Captain, I think I know what's going on.

His mother's material collection point had a theft incident before, didn't it? They couldn't find the thief, so they investigated his mother.

As a result, upon investigation, they found that his accounts didn't add up, and he was secretly taking back a lot of food every day.

The person in charge of the Gathering Place wanted to deal with it seriously, but Han Zhijun refused.

Just now, when they tried to forcibly take his mother away, Han Zhijun started fighting with a group of Professionals, and that's how he ended up like this."

He Jianan quickly explained the whole story, then waited for Yang Tianci's command.

Yang Tianci pointed at a few people in the team and said:

"Your levels are too low, stay here and don't move. The rest of you follow me."

Among the three people singled out were Gu Qinghan and Kong Yan.

He Jianan reminded:

"Captain, this time, stay further away. The probability of these things ignoring skills seems to be getting higher and higher."

"Yes, you too."

Everyone who rushed over with Yang Tianci was level 15 or above, while those who stayed behind with Gu Qinghan and Kong Yan included a slightly hunched guy.

He glanced at Yang Tianci's back and said:

"Ah, being able to work with Captain Yang is truly our good fortune.

Other captains are all afraid of doing too much themselves, and few of them care about their team members' lives."

Kong Yan looked at the man curiously and asked:

"Has Captain Yang always been such a good person?"

"Yes, I've been with him for more than ten days, and I haven't been seriously injured once.

Many of the people who came to the Gathering Place with me were treated as cannon fodder.

It's really good luck that you two were assigned to our team."

When he said this, his gaze was extremely sincere, clearly showing deep gratitude towards Yang Tianci.

Gu Qinghan also looked at Yang Tianci with some emotion. His back was thin but very firm.

In the absence of order and restraint, to still maintain one's original intention, such a person's kindness must truly come from their bones.

The three of them waited in place, watching the chaotic battlefield in the distance, and couldn't help but marvel at Han Zhijun's combat power at that moment.

He was like a human tank, charging through a group of Professionals, and anyone he targeted could only temporarily avoid his onslaught.

Fortunately, He Jianan's skills gave many people time to buffer, allowing the situation to gradually stabilize.

He Jianan's profession was the Guardian Knight that Gu Qinghan had first seen, and he played a huge role at this time.

If it weren't for him, the Professionals on the field would certainly have already suffered serious injuries.

And Han Zhijun, who had turned into something neither human nor ghost, seemed to realize this problem at this moment. He shook his head and let out a low growl that was not human-like.

Then, he directly rushed towards He Jianan's direction.

"Haha, idiot! I have more defensive measures myself."

He Jianan laughed loudly, while simultaneously erecting several illusory shields in front of him.

It was clear that he was very afraid that the opponent could ignore skills, so he added a few more defenses.

However, after Han Zhijun's body crashed through two shields, he suddenly used the momentum to rush towards a Professional nearby.

No one expected this guy to suddenly change direction, and that Professional was a level 15 warlock, who also happened to be a member of Gu Qinghan's team.

Melee Professionals would get injured even from a bump, but a squishy class like this, if Han Zhijun got close, would either die or be severely injured and fall to the ground.

Black and red blood qi, as if substantial, surged towards this person, making him even forget to escape.

He Jianan also reacted immediately, but with limited time, he could only throw out one skill.

But everyone could see that this one skill wouldn't change anything at all.
