It was a little after 4 PM.
Shen Heng and Le Gu Nan chatted casually in front of the Linhai City Supervision Bureau.
Most of the time Shen Heng did the talking, and Le Gu Nan could only say a few words when Shen Heng specifically asked a question.
Nevertheless, it was still somewhat unexpected for Shen Heng.
Le Gu Nan seems to be more talkative than before I left?
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze from the girl, then suddenly remembered something and asked:
"By the way, has the captain mentioned when he'll be able to break through to Fourth Tier?"
"No," Le Gu Nan replied softly.
Shen Heng nodded slightly, then looked up at the sky with a somewhat unfocused gaze.
If the captain doesn't know when he'll break through to Fourth Tier, then we'll leave it at that.
Han Ling had already broken through to Tier 3 before the Lunar New Year, and Wei Leyang broke through to Tier 3 again when he went to the training camp.
Although Wu Cheng has Ability Evolution but hasn't broken through yet, he should be close to doing so soon.
The only combat personnel left in the Linhai Supervision Bureau were himself and Le Gu Nan, but both of them were expected to break through to Tier 3 within the next month or two.
Wouldn't everyone in the Linhai Supervision Bureau be at the Third Tier by then?
"Everyone's at Third Tier..."
This kind of thing would have been unlikely a year ago.
After all, back then, even in a city like Linhai, which wasn't small, only Captain Wang Hai was at the Third Tier.
However, looking at it a year later, there should be some local Supervision Bureau where all staff are at the Third Tier.
After all, this kind of thing is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.
It's not difficult because as long as the team members don't sacrifice themselves, given some time, they will naturally catch up gradually.
Just like Shen Heng is about to catch up with the others in the Linhai Supervision Bureau.
It's not simple because nobody wants anyone else in their team to sacrifice themselves, but...
They still sacrificed themselves!
Shen Heng stared blankly at the sky when suddenly his ears twitched.
Immediately afterwards, a bell rang beside Shen Heng.
That's Le Gu Nan's headset.
Le Gu Nan quickly picked up the headset and hung it on her small ear. Soon, she looked at Shen Heng.
" Calamity Beast has appeared at Red Leaf Mall, I need to go there immediately."
Shen Heng nodded and calmly stood up from the ground. "I'll go with you."
"Your weapon?" Le Gu Nan asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, it's in my car." Shen Heng patted the dust off his pants.
Upon hearing this, Le Gu Nan nodded slightly.
She turned around, took the phone from Dahuang, and then lightly patted it twice.
" Dahuang, you go find Old Li yourself, we're going on a mission!"
Dahuang looked up at the two figures in front of it, barked twice, and then ran into the Supervision Bureau on its own.
Shen Heng then quickly led Le Gu Nan to his car.
With a roar of the accelerator, the car sped away.
Red Leaf Mall is located near the northern suburbs of Linhai. It was planned as a northern shopping mall by Linhai City to expand the urban area, and it has been in operation for less than five years.
At this moment, there were two police cars and several police officers outside the entrance of Red Leaf Mall.
They were holding guns, their eyes fixed on the entrance of the Red Leaf Mall, seemingly on guard against something.
Although what is emerging from the Red Leaf Mall now are one after another people fleeing.
Across the street, many people, unaware of what was happening, stood by and watched.
"Baby, what exactly happened inside the Red Leaf Mall?" A girl in a white dress turned to her boyfriend with some concern.
They originally intended to browse around at the Red Leaf Mall, but upon arrival, they discovered it had been transformed into its current state.
"I don't know, but among those people who just ran out, it sounded like someone was shouting 'cannibalism'?" The boy frowned slightly.
"It ate people? Whose pet bit someone?" the girl asked incredulously.
"If it were just a pet biting someone, there shouldn't be this many police officers, right?" The boy frowned more deeply.
"What's that?" the girl asked.
"Could it be that someone robbed us and then brought out their pet dogs?" the boy speculated.
"Hmm, that's quite possible." The girl looked at her boyfriend with slight admiration, surprised that he had come up with such a likely answer in such a short time.
Suddenly, the police officers standing at the entrance seemed to get into an argument, and then one of them ran into the mall.
"Who is this?" The girl looked at the figure with some confusion.
"People are still running out, which means there are still people inside. That officer probably wanted to go in and rescue them, but the others disagreed," the boy speculated.
The girl nodded, and the two continued to stand there and wait.
Soon, several more police cars arrived, and several police officers got out.
Then, seemingly because there were enough people, a police officer came over and began to disperse the onlookers.
"It's dangerous here, please leave as soon as possible!"
"It's dangerous here, please leave as soon as possible!"
The officer shouted a warning.
"Officer, what happened inside the mall?" someone asked curiously.
"We are investigating. In short, it's dangerous here. Please leave as soon as possible!" the officer said sternly.
Seeing the officer's stern expression, the group had no choice but to nod and turn to walk outside.
The police officers herded the group to a street and then stood in the middle of the intersection, blocking off the road.
The boy turned his head and glanced at the police officer standing in the middle of the intersection, then looked past the officer and gazed at the entrance of the Red Leaf Mall, which could still be seen in the distance. He then tugged at his girlfriend's hand.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked.
"Let's just stay here and watch," the boy said.
"Won't something happen if I don't leave?" the girl asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, it's so far away, and there are so many police officers around, what could possibly happen?" the boy said nonchalantly.
"Even if something really happens, it'll be the police officers who get hurt first. We just need to move aside. Do you think the robbers will have time to care about people this far away?"
The girl hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but the boy added,
"Besides, aren't there many other people doing the same thing around here?"
Upon hearing this, the girl turned her head and looked around. She then realized that while many of the people being driven away had left, quite a few had stopped, just like them.
Seeing this, the girl felt much more at ease, and the two of them stood there gazing into the distance from the blocked section of the road.
The police officer standing in the middle of the intersection frowned, but did not continue to drive them away.
Several minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, any car attempting to drive in that direction would be turned away by police officers standing in the middle of the intersection; only police cars were allowed to pass.
The number of police officers at the entrance of the Red Leaf Mall thus increased to more than twenty right under the couple's noses.
Just as they were marveling at how dangerous the robbers might be, the police officers guarding the entrance to the Red Leaf Mall made another move.
