Recent developments
Three Moons later.
Shen Heng stood once again on the land Linhai.
He glanced at the familiar airport, then took a deep breath.
If you pay close attention, you can feel a noticeable difference in the air quality between the Linhai and Capital.
Feeling that familiar sensation in his nasal cavity, Shen Heng suppressed his sense of belonging and hailed a taxi towards home.
About forty minutes later, Shen Heng arrived at Emerald Garden Residential Complex, Building 3, Unit 201.
The door opened, but the room was empty.
Shen Shuning is in college, while her mother also has to work.
The room, which Shen Heng felt was a bit cramped a year ago, now felt rather empty.
Shen Heng took a deep breath, quickly packed his luggage into his room, and then prepared to head out to the Supervision Bureau.
Just before leaving, he paused, then turned back and wrote a note.
"I'm back. I'm heading to the company now and might not be back tonight. Get some sleep— Shen Heng."
Shen Heng placed the note on the table in the living room and walked out.
About ten or twenty minutes passed.
Shen Heng arrived at the Linhai City Public Security Comprehensive Services Park.
He parked his car in a ground-level parking space and then walked towards the Supervision Bureau.
As the trees parted, a familiar, spacious building came into view before Shen Heng.
A gate more than ten meters wide, a sign for the Linhai City Public Security Supervision Bureau hanging beside the gate, and a girl sitting on the platform at the gate.
The girl was wearing a mint green T-shirt and oatmeal-colored oversized paper bag pants.
She sat there on the steps in front of the door, her gaze fixed to one side, as if waiting for something.
Shen Heng walked over, not making a fuss about his footsteps, so the girl quickly noticed and turned around.
When she saw Shen Heng, the girl was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up and she quickly stood up.
"Are you back?"
"Yes," Shen Heng replied with a light laugh.
"The captain said that normally they wouldn't kick people out as soon as it's over, so you might not be back for another two days," Le Gu Nan said.
"We didn't kick them out, but there was nothing else to do there, so we came back."
Shen Heng chuckled and replied, then looked curiously in the direction Le Gu Nan had just been looking.
What were you looking at just now?
"Oh, this!" Le Gu Nan glanced in the direction he had just been looking. "Dahuang went for a walk by itself; I'll wait for it here."
"Walking itself? Aren't you afraid it might bite someone and then get reported to the police? That would be a bit embarrassing."
"No, Dahuang is very smart and won't bite anyone else. Besides, we set a limit for it, and after observing it more than ten times, it has never run out of that area," Le Gu Nan explained.
Shen Heng nodded slightly. Dahuang was indeed very smart. Although it might not be as smart as the Border Collie, the top dog in the world, its intelligence was probably equivalent to that of a three or four-year-old child.
He walked to the Le Gu Nan and sat down. "Are you working the day shift this week?"
"Hmm." Le Gu Nan nodded, and then sat down as well.
"Did something happen?"
"No."
"And at other times?"
After thinking for a moment, Le Gu Nan proceeded to recount the more important matters, as if giving a report.
"Six Calamity Beast incidents occurred in April; a Tier 3 Calamity Beast appeared in March; and then, because you were away for the past three months, some Calamity Beast have not been found."
Shen Heng nodded, not paying too much attention to these matters.
Before I left, there had already been five incidents of Calamity Beast in one month, and six incidents occurred in April. It can't be said that it was early or late.
As for the Third Tier Calamity Beast, there's not much to say. Three of them appeared last year, so it would be strange if Shen Heng hadn't seen any yet.
And then, finally, some of the Calamity Beast couldn't find this information.
This is even less surprising. Even when Shen Heng was around, there was no guarantee that the Calamity Beast could be found in every incident, let alone now that Shen Heng is gone.
After all, the Calamity Beast is alive. As long as it is discovered later, further away from the Supervision Bureau Calamity Beast, and leaves earlier, Shen Heng will not be able to find Calamity Beast.
"How is everyone doing?" Shen Heng continued to ask.
"Wei Leyang has broken through to the Third Tier, Wu Cheng's Ability Evolution to B-Class!" Le Gu Nan said.
If Shen Heng Shen Heng hadn't cared about the previous matters concerning the Calamity Beast, he was now quite curious about this one.
"Wei Leyang has broken through to the Third Tier, but Wu Cheng hasn't?" Shen Heng looked at Le Gu Nan with some curiosity.
"Mm." Le Gu Nan nodded gently.
Shen Heng suppressed his surprise.
He had originally thought that Wu Cheng would be the first to reach the Third Tier after Han Ling.
After all, the other party was the one who had been with the Supervision Bureau the longest, besides the captain and Han Ling.
but...
Shen Heng thought of what Le Gu Nan had just mentioned: Wu Cheng's Ability Evolution.
Could it be that he's been focusing all his energy on Ability Evolution?... Shen Heng couldn't help but think this.
"What will Wu Cheng's Ability Evolution?" Shen Heng asked.
"His ability is evolving towards an enhanced form, and it's still called Spark, but its power has increased significantly," Le Gu Nan said softly.
Shen Heng nodded, then asked, "And what about these past three months?"
"In terms of cultivation, I should be able to break through to the Tier 3 in about a month. As for combat..."
Le Gu Nan gently raised her hand, and a cone-shaped creation quickly took shape in front of her.
Then they dispersed again, and two began to coalesce. This time it was a little slower, but still very fast. Then three appeared, and with each additional one, the formation speed slowed down considerably.
Shen Heng looked at the scene before him and nodded slightly.
"You might want to consider another option that Wei Leyang mentioned earlier."
"Go analyze concrete and asphalt?" Le Gu Nan subconsciously tilted his head to the side.
Shen Heng nodded. "Yes, this attack method is relatively simple, but you can't carry an unlimited amount of supplies. If the battle can't be resolved quickly and you run out of materials, it will be difficult to continue."
Le Gu Nan nodded slightly, seemingly giving Shen Heng's suggestion a serious look.
As the two were talking, a Dahuang darted out from the nearby woods.
It paused slightly when it saw Shen Heng, then turned its head away and walked to the side of Le Gu Nan without looking at Shen Heng.
"No, I mean, as a dog, can't you be a little more magnanimous?" Shen Heng looked at Dahuang speechlessly.
Ever since that time he imitated an animal's sound and was seen, and then he and Le Gu Nan talked nicely and treated Dahuang coldly, Dahuang has been like that ever since, and even if he apologizes afterwards, it's no use.
Dahuang snorted coldly through its nose, then ignored Shen Heng's attempts to curry favor with Le Gu Nan.
Seeing this, Shen Heng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"Pfft..."
Le Gu Nan chuckled softly, then skillfully pulled out his phone from his pocket, opened a video of several dogs fighting over food, and showed it to Dahuang. He then looked at Shen Heng.
"By the way, how are you doing at the training camp?"
Shen Heng glanced at the video of the yellow sand filling the sky, then looked away and gazed at the sky.
"A training camp..."
