“Of course. Let me be very honest with you. These are all simply my theories and assumptions based on the information I gathered from many survivors and several soldiers.”
Liam almost fell down to the ground when he heard this last bit. Wait, he was simply making assumptions all this time?
Even the fox glared in disbelief as she couldn’t believe what she had heard. She started listening to the cretin halfway through and was amazed at what he was saying, so much so that she stopped glaring at him. But now she once again demoted the guy back to the cretin level.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the other party did not fret. Instead, he continued talking.
“There is also one more thing. The general is not so simple. He will not let you off until and unless you join the army. He is extremely ruthless and will go as far as he needs to in order to achieve his goal.”
Liam chuckled. Sure, let’s add that to the plate as well. In reality, though their meeting had gone exceedingly well, he had expected something like this would happen. It was just that he wasn’t planning on giving them a chance for their own good.
Also, he had more important things to worry about at the moment.
Now, coming back to the present, who was this person in front of him? He silently watched the stranger and couldn’t help but wonder if he had really guessed everything up until now.
“So these are all just guesses?” He even asked him again.please visit f?ee???n૦??l.c??.
“Ahem. Yes, but I have solid theories backing them up.”
Liam nodded. He remained silent for a few more seconds and then asked him the inevitable. “So why are you here? What do you want from me?”
The other party nodded and, without fear, answered him. “Mr. Liam, my name is Yuze Hao. I am here to request your permission to join your guild, Crimson Abyss.”
“Heh.” Liam was even more amused. So this guy knew who he was. “In return for all of this information you just gave me, you want to join the guild? Only that much?”
“Aha ha ha. Mr. Liam, I am not stupid enough to demand things from someone like you. I know my limits. Even this I am requesting only because of my current condition.”
“Though from outside, the military base might look like a bed of roses with the government still taking care of things and everything taking care of in an organized fashion with rules and regulations, the truth couldn’t be far from it.”
“There is rampant corruption, belligerence, and women and even some men are being exploited without their consent. And…”
“I do not want a shelter just for me. I want a shelter for a group of twenty-five people in your guild.”
“Hmmm…” Liam patiently listened to him and wasn’t really surprised at the outcome.
Though a military unit had a lot of plus points, it also had a major flaw. In a military structure, everything depended on the person at the top.
If the person at the top had flawed, misguided intentions, then everyone below him would also fall into that line in the name of patriotism and loyalty. This sort of mentality was drilled into the men from years of training.
Not to mention at a time like this, when the whole world was falling apart, it was only human for these men to rely on these rules and hierarchy, especially if it was favorable to them.
Seeing that Liam hadn’t replied to anything yet, Yuze Hao started to become nervous. “I also have another thing to offer to you.” He boldly spoke up.<.com>
“Hmmm?”
“I have the blueprints to set up radio communications and also to get the electricity back up and running. I also have the other blueprints for all the technology currently being used in the military base.”
“Oh?” Liam did not expect this. “How do you know about all of this?”
“I helped the division leaders to set everything up.”
“You have a background in these things?”
“No, Sir. I learned everything in these past few weeks.”
“Huh?” Now Liam couldn’t believe this. It was impossible for someone to understand the heavy, detailed technological details in such a short period of time. “What are you? Some kind of genius?” He jokingly commented. However…
Surprisingly, the other party nodded in acceptance. “Yes, Sir. I would like to think so.”
Liam’s face twitched, but then he smiled at the guy in front of him. Though he seemed to be a little arrogant about his abilities, he definitely had the goods to back them up. So he did not mind.
“If you are such a genius, then how come you couldn’t become stronger? You know the rules of this world. If you become strong enough, then you can take what you want without my help. You can save your loved ones and your group without needing someone like me.”
Liam only casually joked, but the person’s face immediately changed. He looked like he was a bit embarrassed to talk about this.
“Haaa? Is there something I should know?”
“I am… Cough. Cough.” For the first time, the person in front of him stammered. “I am a bit queasy when I see blood. So I can’t really…”
Liam once again dropped his jaw to the ground in shock.
This guy was able to understand complicated technological stuff, the patterns, and the strategies of both the vampire lords and the apocalypse in general, but he was queasy on seeing blood?
This… he couldn’t be lying, right?
No. It had to be true. What he was saying was so ridiculous that Liam doubted it was a lie.
Liam chuckled lightly and then patted the guy. “Yuze Hao, welcome to the guild. I would never say no to someone who came asking for my help, but you should know that I am equally ruthless to people who betray me. I do not give second chances.”
