People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 859: The Battle (5)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment. He was still suspicious, but he did not reject the kindness expressed by the other party.” Thank you for saving me, but who are you?”

“We are the Nami Mercenary Company that is active in Canaan. My name is Nami, and I am the leader of the mercenary company…”

Mercenary group leader?

Zhao Yu was taken aback again. He noticed the newcomer entered without a gun, which was uncharacteristic for the bald leader.

“Zhao Yu, a citizen of the Great Xia was brought to Canaan during a company team-building event. Before reaching the crime syndicate’s stronghold, he overpowered one of their men and seized a handgun…”

“In a situation where he was outnumbered six to one, he killed four of them…”

Nami quickly recounted Zhao Yu’s background and nearly reconstructed the entire battle scene.

“Judging by your skills, you are clearly not an ordinary person. Are you a retired soldier?”

Zhao Yu shook his head. “I am just an ordinary person back in Da Xia…”

“But you handle a gun remarkably well. With an eight-bullet handgun, you only fired six shots to kill four people…”

Nami praised him, though she was skeptical of Zhao Yu’s claim, suspecting he was hiding something.

However, in Canaan, Zhao Yu’s true identity didn’t matter much to her.

In fact, she didn’t know Zhao Yu had killed four people with just four shots, or she would have been even more astonished.

After speaking, she clicked her tongue in wonder. “Your body is amazing. Despite such severe injuries, you’ve healed so quickly. In just three days, you’re almost as good as new and able to get out of bed…”

Nearby, a woman in a white coat with an Eastern European face couldn’t help but step forward. “When I first saw you, you were on the brink of death. As a doctor, I couldn’t just stand by, so I treated your wounds and brought you back…”

“I never expected you to actually survive. Your body is extraordinary…”

Zhao Yu was stunned. “It’s only been three days?!”

“Of course!”

“Nothing… Thank you, doctor!” Zhao Yu expressed his gratitude again.

“Let me check…”

Following the doctor’s instructions, Zhao Yu obediently completed the examination.

“Incredible. There are almost no visible wounds left. If we had the proper equipment for a CT scan, we could check your bones as well…”

The female doctor continuously exclaimed in amazement during the examination, looking at Zhao Yu’s body as if she had discovered a treasure, unable to tear her eyes away.

“Alright, Eileen, let him rest…” Nami said to the doctor, then turned to Zhao Yu. “You rest for now. We’ll discuss other matters in a few days…”

With that, she led the others out of the room.

Soon, there was only one person left in the room. Zhao Yu came to the door and observed for a while. He realized that no one was bothering him.

” So, what she said is true?!”

“I am really lucky to have been saved by someone…”

A smile finally appeared on Zhao Yu’s face. Since he could live, he naturally did not want to die.

This feeling of surviving a calamity was indeed not bad.

“Wakun Warlord…”

Zhao Yu muttered softly under his breath. From Nami’s account, he learned that the bald leader belonged to the Wakun warlord faction.

Unfortunately, he was alone. Even if he wanted revenge, there was no opportunity; he could only harbor his resentment in silence.

For the next few days, Zhao Yu stayed in the camp, and through his conversations with Nami, he gathered a lot of intelligence.

The Wakun warlord he bore a grudge against was even more formidable than he had imagined, essentially being the largest warlord faction in the Canaan region, commanding over fifty thousand soldiers and thugs.

Moreover, four-fifths of the criminal groups in the Canaan region were under the protection of the Wakun warlord.

Additionally, the Canaan region was more chaotic than he had imagined, teeming with warlords and bandits, making it difficult for legitimate enterprises to operate.

Most legitimate and foreign companies with businesses in the region usually hired mercenaries to protect their assets.

Under normal circumstances, major warlords rarely troubled these companies, so mercenary groups mainly dealt with bandits, robber gangs, and vagrants.

Nami was a native of Canaan, and from her occasional remarks, it was evident that she came from a prominent Canaan family, though for unknown reasons, she ended up as a mercenary.

Many members of the mercenary group were also from Canaan, with a few foreigners among them.

“Now that you’ve recovered, do you have any plans?”

Nami asked Zhao Yu one day.

“I don’t have any plans…”

After a few days of getting to know each other, Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed. “I want to take revenge on the Wakun warlord, but my power alone is too insignificant…”

“So, I plan to go to the Da Xia embassy in Canaan and arrange to return to my country…”

“Return to your country? When we found you, you had no identification. Just showing up there, they won’t help you return!”

Nami seemed knowledgeable about these matters. “Sometimes, having the right documents is crucial. There’s plenty of identity information online, but just providing a number doesn’t work in Canaan…”

She feared Zhao Yu might misunderstand, so she explained, “In the past, many Canaanites wanted to escape here and go to Da Xia, leading to a certain business…”

“Some people from Da Xia would sell identity information to Canaanites with similar appearances, allowing some Canaanites to disguise themselves as Da Xia citizens to travel there…”

“Later, with too many overlapping identities, Da Xia became very strict about the identity information of those returning from Canaan…”

Zhao Yu felt overwhelmed. He had given his ID to Old Yu for passport processing, but it had not been returned, so he didn’t have it on him.

Seeing Zhao Yu remain silent, Nami suggested, “Why don’t you stay and join my mercenary group? We can do missions together and make money…”

“Once we have enough money, we can go somewhere else and then transfer to Da Xia. How about that?”

“Me?!”

Zhao Yu was taken aback, not expecting Nami to invite him.

“Can I do it?!”

He felt uncertain, being just an ordinary person. Could he really join a mercenary group?

“Of course. You took on six enemies alone and took down four with a pistol. That’s already impressive…”

Nami suspected Zhao Yu was still hiding something behind. Though he claimed to be an ordinary person, she believed he might be a retired special forces operative with a secret identity.

“Well… I’ll give it a try,” Zhao Yu said uncertainly.

Nami and her team had saved him. Leaving without helping felt wrong. Since she invited him, he decided to stay and find an opportunity to repay the favor.

“Welcome to the team!” Nami said with a smile, extending her hand for a shake.

“What’s your specialty?” she asked.

“Hmm…”

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment. “I’ve only used a pistol. If possible, I’d like to try other weapons…”

During his chats with Nami, he learned about a concept called ‘absolute gun sense,’ which seemed similar to his own experience.

He wanted to find out if his absolute gun sense applied only to pistols or other weapons as well.

“Let’s go!”

Nami said, dragging Zhao Yu to the shooting range, which was stocked with various weapons and ammunition, perfect for experimentation.
