Chapter 61 Special talents hidden in the sewers!

Ji Yan truly had no ill intentions; he was genuinely just curious!

He had noticed many issues in his hurried glance earlier.

The little girl's agile movements, her grip on the gun, her vigilant stance, and the seemingly chaotic yet highly professional layout inside the building.

None of this was something a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl could achieve.

There must be someone guiding her behind the scenes. Who exactly is this person?

Why do they live in this industrial park?

All these questions made him quite curious, so Ji Yan followed them.

With his strength, tracking a little girl, no matter how she tried to shake him, was impossible, which led to the current scene.

"Let's get acquainted!" Ji Yan said with a smile, "My surname is Ji, and I am the head of A1 Shelter. We are currently on a mission to collect chemical raw materials."

"You are Mr. Ji?" The middle-aged man's gaze was profound. He wheeled his chair forward, smiling, "Pleased to meet you. Our place is small, with only this cripple and a little girl. There's nothing to see, so please excuse the humble surroundings!"

"No!" Ji Yan said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid there's not only good stuff here, but perhaps also a hidden great master."

"What do you mean, Mr. Ji?" The middle-aged man asked, surprised.

"Haha!"

Ji Yan silently scrutinized him from head to toe!

He then scanned the nearby machine tools, computers, small generators, and other items, and even found a City map on the wall.

This middle-aged man was definitely not ordinary.

Everything the little girl knew was certainly taught by him.

"Let me guess!" Ji Yan paced, saying, "You must have been a soldier, and you're good at information gathering and intelligence analysis, right?"

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man smiled a little awkwardly, not saying much more.

The little girl, however, widened her eyes in shock, clearly showing that Ji Yan was right!

"Your arms are strong and powerful, which shows that your disability hasn't caused you too much trouble. On the contrary, your map is marked with a lot of information, which indicates you've thoroughly explored this area!"

"You can even make your own guns. If it weren't for the low precision of this manual machine tool, you probably could even make sniper rifles, right?"

"Haha, it's truly rare to find someone of your talent hidden in such a small place!"

"Adam, search for his identity information!"

After Ji Yan's sigh of admiration, he decisively gave the order!

The micro-LCD watch on his wrist flashed.

Adam scanned the identities of the middle-aged man and the little girl through the lens.

Before the apocalypse, Adam had infiltrated the Kyushu citizen information database and various confidential databases, so finding his identity was not difficult.

Unless he wasn't from Kyushu and had no record of any information!

Otherwise, he would absolutely not escape Adam's search.

"Master!" Adam quickly replied, "His name is Chen Jianhong, 42 years old. He served in the military and retired from the Kyushu Special Operations Group three years ago due to a leg disability. He currently has no other relatives."

"The little girl's name is Xiahou Wu, 12 years old, an orphan. Her father was Chen Jianhong's comrade and died in a combat mission. He has adopted her for three years now!"

"Hiss!"

The middle-aged man and the little girl were instantly terrified!

What's going on? They found their identities with just a scan?

How terrifying is this young man?

"Wow, he really is a great master!" Ji Yan said with interest, "A retired member of the Special Operations Group, which means he was a big shot in the intelligence industry before? Mr. Chen, pleased to meet you!"

"What do you want to do?" The little girl, Xiahou Wu, said excitedly, "My Chen Shu is just a disabled person now. He hasn't offended you."

"Don't worry!" Ji Yan shrugged and said with a smile, "We have no grievances, so we won't do anything to you. I just feel that it's a pity for talented people like you to stay here. Why don't you come and live in my base!"

"Base?"

Chen Jianhong and Xiahou Wu's hearts stirred!

They had a generator and a computer, and now the City's network was also smooth, so they naturally knew what Ji Yan meant by "base."

He actually wanted to invite them to live in the base?

That was a paradise countless people dreamed of, wishing to enter but unable to!

Were they not dreaming?

"Thank you for your high regard, Mr. Ji!" Chen Jianhong smiled bitterly, "I'm just a disabled person, really of no use, and I don't have the face to live in your base. I apologize!"

"Don't be so quick to refuse!" Ji Yan said with a sincere expression, "Although my base is strong now, its soft power is not very abundant. So I've been thinking for a while about how to cultivate my own dark force."

"You came from the Special Operations Group's intelligence background, which gave me inspiration. I decided to form an intelligence organization to secretly monitor various forces throughout East River, making you my eyes and ears."

"This kind of thing isn't difficult for you, and I believe you can do it well. At the same time, you and the little girl can live better lives, allowing her to receive a better education and interact with more normal people, right?"

Ji Yan's persuasion couldn't help but move Chen Jianhong!

He could indeed live well here, but what if the supplies here ran out in the future?

He was just a disabled person. Was he going to let Xiahou Wu risk her life, day after day, hunting zombies to support herself?

Moreover, Xiahou Wu was still young. She needed a better education and more food!

Was he going to let her hide in this sewer with him for the rest of her life?

"You're not joking, are you?" Chen Jianhong asked, trembling.

"No!" Ji Yan said seriously, "I guarantee with my integrity and dignity that everything I said is true. I sincerely invite both of you to live at our base."

"From today onwards, you will become the head of my base's professional intelligence department. You can select and train personnel, and you can also receive various financial, material, and high-tech support!"

"As long as you contribute your abilities and loyalty, you and the little girl can receive the best treatment. She can go to school, make many friends her age, and grow up happily and joyfully, instead of risking her life in a garbage dump like a beggar!"

The scene Ji Yan described made Chen Jianhong's heart stir again!

Xiahou Wu couldn't help but her eyes light up with anticipation!

Humans are social creatures. Although it was safe to hide in this sewer, it was too boring. She couldn't help but yearn for life at the base.

"Alright!" Chen Jianhong immediately said with a smile, "We'll go with you. Please take care of us from now on."

"Good!"

Ji Yan laughed with satisfaction, a hint of joy flashing in his heart.
