Mo Junjie had long grown used to being ostracized by his peers. So, when someone openly admired him like this, he didn't know how to react.
Before he could speak, Zhang Yuan said, "It would be a loss for the human race if a genius like him died from illness. I will contact the Captain now and inform him of the situation. Sister Jiang, Brother Bohai, we will leave his health in your hands."
"Vice-Captain, don't worry. We will do our best to help him," both replied in unison.
After the decision was made, Zhang Yuan went to make a call using the satellite phone, while the rest of the team surrounded Mo Junjie, offering him water and food, and checking on his well-being.
Without even being able to refuse, he unknowingly was added to the team.
Outside the tent, Zhang Yuan was making a phone call. After several tries, the call finally connected, and the sound of zombies roaring came from the other side.
Noticing this, he asked, "Captain, are you killing zombies?"
On the other side, Jin Xuyan raised his hand and threw a huge black fireball toward the zombie crowd below, burning them as he said, "Did something happen?"
Hearing his captain's casual tone, Zhang Yuan knew the situation on the other side was under control.
"Captain, on our way to the base, we found a sickly man. After we brought him back, we learned that he is a genius in the research field," he said.
"His condition is weird, and Sister Jiang's ability could only heal him temporarily. He is a valuable asset to humanity, and I want to recommend him to join our team."
"What's his name?" Jin Xuyan asked.
"Mo Junjie."
The moment he heard the name, memories of his past life flashed through Jin Xuyan's mind. Recalling the young man's condition and his contribution to the human race in the previous timeline, a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes.
After a moment, he said, "Permission granted."
Zhang Yuan had thought he would need to persuade his captain more to accept Mo Junjie. After all, their team was a mercenary group focused primarily on combat power.
He didn't expect the captain to agree so easily. It seemed his captain truly was someone generous and appreciative of talent.
"Thank you, Captain!"
After the brief conversation, Zhang Yuan hung up and returned to the tent. As he entered, he heard Mo Junjie coughing again. It seemed that even with Jiang Lixin's healing ability, a complete cure wasn't possible.
Taking his seat, he said, "I have informed the captain, and he agreed to let Mo Junjie join our team. From today onwards, he will be part of the research unit."
The moment he said this, everyone was delighted, except Mo Junjie, who hesitated. He had something to do, and it would be inconvenient for him to join a team.
