In a dilapidated alley, a bizarre creature shaped like a wheel was cornered at the end. Its body was entirely pieced together from bones, and as it rolled, the bones emitted a shrill scream.
Gu Heng instinctively shielded Lin Wanxing, while Fang Zhiyi discreetly observed the actions of the other team members. Li Fei and the others continued to lead the charge, demonstrating excellent teamwork.
This monster wasn't very strong. Apart from howling like a ghost, it didn't have many attack methods. The team members easily cut it into pieces. Fang Zhiyi also realized that her subordinates were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Their weapons were quite interesting, as if they were infused with something that could suppress the eerie aura.
But just when everyone thought they had it all figured out, the strange creature suddenly erupted, its remaining head breaking straight through the encirclement and heading straight for Fang Zhiyi.
"Captain!" Li Fei exclaimed, somewhat flustered.
Fang Zhiyi was also a little flustered, but his fluster was an act. When he directed his team to surround the enemy, he deliberately made his position appear weaker, so that even if the Weird only relied on its survival instinct, it would choose to rush towards this side.
Fang Zhiyi rolled over awkwardly, yelling, "Get out of the way!"
As soon as he dodged, Lin Wanxing and Gu Heng behind him were exposed to the eerie creature. Compared to the terrified Lin Wanxing, Gu Heng reacted faster. He instantly drew his long sword and slashed at it. The creature, which was fighting desperately, was struck squarely by his sword and turned to ashes after struggling for a few moments.
Gu Heng put one arm around Lin Wanxing while looking at Fang Zhiyi with disdain: "Wanxing, it's alright now."
Fang Zhiyi looked visibly shaken.
The other team members were somewhat bewildered; some wore happy expressions, while others had dark faces.
Fang Zhiyi was very sensible. After returning, she reflected on her poor planning and, on the grounds that her previous injury had not yet healed, recommended Gu Heng to temporarily act as captain.
Gu Heng was a little confused. He wanted to be the team leader, but had this day come too soon?
The others were even more confused. It had only been a few days! Gu Heng had become the team leader?
Fang Zhiyi was even faster than them; she had already submitted her application report and received approval quickly.
He remained in his room, watching down below. Gu Heng, who had unexpectedly gained the captain's position, was in high spirits, with Lin Wanxing beside him, the two chatting and laughing.
"Captain!" Zhou Hao barged in without knocking. "How could you let him be the acting captain? He's a scoundrel!"
"Exactly! What are you thinking?!" Li Fei followed closely behind.
Fang Zhiyi didn't answer them, but stared blankly outside.
Shen Yue, who was the last to enter, closed the door and continued to watch Fang Zhiyi warily.
Have you ever seen the ocean?
The sudden question left everyone somewhat bewildered: the sea?
"I've seen the ocean once, it has nothing to do with this, right? Boss, do you want to go swimming?" Li Fei's thought process was always quite peculiar.
"Only when the tide recedes can you see who's been swimming naked." Fang Zhiyi's lips slowly curled into a smile.
Zhao Lei, who had been silent, followed his gaze and saw that all the other team members were surrounding Gu Heng and his companion, seemingly congratulating him on his successful promotion.
