996: Chapter 982: Requirents 996: Chapter 982: Requirents “…..Familiar air, familiar city, and…”
Lu Ping’an drifted lightly and appeared at the street corner instantaneously.
He gently extended his foot and the fleeing robber flew out directly.
The next mont, he stood in front of the unfortunate fellow, gently patted him down, embedding him straight into the ground.
“…Familiar criminals, uh, did I go too hard?”
Looking at the robber who had beco “one with the earth,” Lu Ping’an stroked his chin.
“Your strength has increased quite a bit, try to hold back a little.”
Watching the dood robber who was bound to be rushed to rescue, Xia Qin frowned.
It wasn’t that she felt sorry for the robbery suspect – those who warranted the dispatch of the Special Service Team were mostly involved in serious cris…
“…I have to write the report for the street repair again, so give less trouble, will you?”
“Sorry, sorry, indeed I’ve been a bit uncontrollable lately.”
Lu Ping’an had just returned and imdiately went with Xia Qin to report for duty at the Special Service Team.
Although their work itself wasn’t very significant, this honest and dedicated attitude of going straight to work upon returning ho was actually quite important.
Lu Ping’an bent down and casually threw out a deferred paynt, saving the unfortunate robber’s life.
Only after truly returning to the familiar environnt did Lu Ping’an realize sothing was slightly off…
his advancent had been a bit too quick, with his basic panel reaching Upper Silver three-tier, and his physique reaching the rank of Upper Silver.
This all-around rapid increase ant he had to be very careful even in daily life, lest he accidentally turn a teacup into fragnts…
and when it really ca to taking action, it was even harder to pull his punches.
Lu Ping’an dragged the unlucky fellow, dumped him on the truck, which was quickly piling up with various “big bosses” lovingly stacked together.
This one day of action, which almost spanned a year’s worth of work, yielded quite a lot.
“….That should be about it, right?
Dinner ti is almost here.”
Lu Ping’an yawned and with a casual flick of the thin book in his hand, effortlessly blocked the bullets from a thug’s handgun, then packaged him up and sent him onto the “shelf.”
“Let’s hit two more places, and clean them up in one go to prevent them from causing trouble while we’re away.”
On this day, concluding a year’s worth of work, Xia Qin was still not quite satisfied…
God knows what she would look like upon returning and seeing the ss all over the ground.
During the tumult of the old and new eras, there were inevitably many sudden issues.
The sa incident that occurred in the Feather Tribe also happened here; a large number of “Star-zone refugees” arrived…
However, this world didn’t have the suppressive force to subdue everything, and the extraordinary power surpassing mortals was always a security risk.
After the initial turbulence, so of these visitors from exotic realms found their footing in the new world, while others naturally took to faster ways of earning money.
And for those local tyrants, gray forces, and cultists which had been strongly suppressed before…
a dog can’t change its nature, so how could soone change their lifelong survival thods so easily?
In this aspect, there was no strong pressure from the upper levels…
For those below, without their usual criminal ways, they simply couldn’t survive.
When it ca to survival, hunger spoke louder than any decree from above.
After the eerie calm at the beginning of the Great Era (the calm before the storm), the cri rate naturally rose higher and higher.
Even though all sides were well-prepared…
destruction cost far less than prevention, especially since maintaining public security already required vast human and resource costs, and many core combatants were now in foreign domains.
“….Alright, alright, overti it is.”
Lu Ping’an let out a resigned sigh, put away his book, and dismissed his Spirit Ghost.
And around them, another swath had fallen…
With the legendary “Red Glove” joining the battle, the stray soldiers who had caused quite so trouble and even casualties to the special agents seed hardly worth ntioning.
This ti, upon returning and facing the steadily climbing cri rate and the reality of Special Service Team Three’s infirmary filled with the wounded, Xia Qin imdiately flew into a rage and dragged Lu Ping’an along to work overti.
After one day and one night, the duo of Lu Ping’an severely struck the local evil forces.
Following the intelligence regarding the “gang headquarters,” they hunted down every one of them without any intention of reasoning…
and so, they naturally received a “warm welco” from the other side.
Originally, the captain of a special service team in a city district was at most a Decree-level “Big Boss,” with most of them being third-tier and most mbers being 2-tier…
Such average combat power didn’t amount to much in the eyes of the now Lu Ping’an.
The strength of their opponent often also hinted at the lower limit of their own power, in the small pond of the Ancient city’s Zion District, a third-tier was considered a hero.
“…This level and you learn to play boss?”
It was another gang with a long history that completed its entire course in just twenty minutes.
But in the end, they were just a few local stragglers tead up with a group of foreign Extraordinary hired thugs, power had given them ambitions they shouldn’t have, and Lu Ping’an also took the opportunity to rescue a bunch of young female students…
“…Go to jail…
uh, go to the War Zone at the Secret Realm’s frontline and play your gang ga there.”
Lu Ping’an ignored the shaking appearance of the others and threw them directly onto the truck, this ti without holding back, hoping they wouldn’t just die on the spot.
With the recent significant increase in cri rates, the police station, detention center, court, and prison line were already overwheld with people, and due to a certain event (Lei fire X demolishing the ancient city prison), the local existing prison resources were less than a third of what they were before, and most professionals in the judicial system did not want to serve them.
“Isn’t this clearly a waste of social resources?”
“Why should we waste taxpayers’ money to detain these alien tumors…”
“Just send them to the frontline directly, at least that has so value.”
It was an unknown Big Boss’s statent that received unanimous agreent.
The irony was that this was lawful…
The Nirvana Plan of the New Era gave the locals great autonomy and also vastly emphasized the necessity of strict laws during chaotic tis.
There were policies from above, local needs below, rushed and even more rushed, a brand new security managent regulation was born.
From then on, “Cultists,” “anti-social elents,” “unstable elents from the Foreign Domain,” “local gangsters,” and so on, would be directly thrown into the Secret Realm frontline guarded by the military zones after a simplified trial process.
Believe it or not, the effect was really good…
“…It’s just that the grassroot level is even harder now, these guys fight like they’re desperate when being caught, and quite a few brothers were injured in this area.”
What is gained is also lost, the criminals caught to fill the lines naturally gained the courage and determination to kill.
But clearly, facing absolute overwhelming power, determination doesn’t an anything…
“The team is calling us for a night snack, wanna go?”
After kicking through a wall and surprising the gun-holding person behind it, Lu Ping’an let the vines fill the entire room.
My hand is heavy, I’ll let the Magic Plants do it…
uh, no, stop little baby, they are about to die!
While swiftly rescuing people, Lu Ping’an still had the ti to ask his captain if she wanted to have a late-night snack.
“…Alright,” looking back at the now fully loaded truck, Xia Qin also knew it was enough.
This sweeping like the autumn wind wasn’t going to clean up everything, but as a deterrence, it could make others behave for a while.
In fact, the police are primarily for deterrence…
as the cost of committing cris increased, when “high chances of getting caught and severely sentenced for cris” beca common knowledge for many people, then naturally, the cri rate would go down.
Now, it’s just that so people think they are capable, and indeed the local police force is insufficient…
“Stop being angry, here, have another skewer.”
Even during a late-night al, Xia Qin was quite annoyed.
Due to the absence of Special Service Team Three’s core force, the security under her watch had indeed beco a problem, making her very uncomfortable now.
However, Lu Ping’an smiled and said.
“…
Captain Xia, this might be an opportunity.
Our company is about to open, isn’t it just right to offer so small help?
The local special agents could be the most suitable first batch of custors.”
