However, the main base at Qinling, under Wu Hao’s command, is intended to be managed as a primary headquarters, meaning that this base will serve as a core research and development site and also the central location of the Intelligence Brain Zero.

Such a location is naturally best kept secret, so this main base is destined to have a limited number of people. Converting part of it into a training facility is a necessary choice.

Currently, Wu Hao only has the main base at his disposal. As for the mobile base floating on the sea, it is a converted cargo ship.

Although Wu Hao could convert another ship into a training sub-base, doing so would require him to personally oversee the conversion, which would take several days. Moreover, the internal space of a cargo ship is still too small, making this idea impractical and unsuitable.

After reviewing the weaponry and equipment, Intelligence Brain Zero reported to Wu Hao regarding the search for armed personnel.

“BOSS, after gathering information over the past few days, I have completed the first round of screening. After filtering, we have identified 500 candidates worldwide who meet our requirements. I have already sent invitation messages to these 500 people. We will only know how many of them are willing to accept the invitation after 3 days, as I have given them 3 days to consider.”

The screening method used by Intelligence Brain Zero is quite simple: it involves reviewing recent communication records and emails. Although the volume of global communication records and emails is enormous, Intelligence Brain Zero only investigated current combat mercenaries and a few professional assassins. This scope is broad, but with Intelligence Brain Zero’s computational power, it is not difficult to distinguish carefully.

Therefore, after several rounds of screening, Intelligence Brain Zero finally identified 500 people who met Wu Hao’s requirements. These 500 individuals have an average age of around 30, with the oldest being 35 and the youngest 23. Although many people have died at their hands during their careers, each of them has their own boundaries and is not the type to do anything for money.

“Finding 500 candidates is quite a lot. It remains to be seen how many will accept my offer!” Wu Hao nodded upon hearing the report from Intelligence Brain Zero, clearly satisfied with the number.

However, among these 500 individuals scattered around the world, it will only be known in 3 days how many are willing to accept the invitation.

Although these people were confirmed to meet Wu Hao’s requirements after screening by Intelligence Brain Zero, their willingness to become Wu Hao’s subordinates entirely depends on their own preferences.

In the invitation message sent by Intelligence Brain Zero, it was clearly stated that they had been selected for a chance to become a member of an organization called ‘Black Hawk Legion.’ As long as they become a member, they would receive ten times more money and power than they have now.

To ensure that these people did not perceive the invitation as a prank, Zero also provided detailed information about each candidate and deposited $100,000 into their bank accounts as a meeting gift.

The purpose of this was to make them believe in the authenticity of the message, serving as both assurance and a lure!

In a small village in a certain African country, a man with an Eastern face furrowed his brow as he read the content of the message in a shabby, dimly lit room, clearly deep in thought.

He received this message last night during a mission, and only a few people knew the number of his communication device—these were his contact points for receiving missions. No one else knew his number.

Yet, he received a message last night that surprised him greatly. To verify the message’s authenticity, he specifically checked his bank account balance and confirmed that the $100,000 had indeed been deposited, thus assuring him that this was not a prank.

“It seems this message must be from a mysterious organization. However, the fact that they could find such detailed information about me shows they must be quite powerful. Since that’s the case, I want to see what kind of organization they really are,” the man thought before deciding to respond and accept the offer.

In fact, this Eastern-faced man had not been in Africa as a mercenary for long; he was only 25 years old. Before coming to Africa, he was a member of a certain special forces unit. Unfortunately, due to some issues and a dispute with a high-ranking official’s offspring, he was framed, leading to the near destruction of his squad during a mission, with only himself and a severely injured team member escaping.

As the team leader, he later found out through investigation that their misfortune was caused by the high-ranking disciple who had deliberately provided them with false information, leading them straight into an enemy ambush.

After discovering this, the hot-headed young man sought revenge for his team and killed the high-ranking disciple. He then embarked on a six-month-long life-and-death escape, which only ended when he was injured and fell into the water, leading the pursuers to conclude that he was unlikely to survive.

Fortunately, he survived and, as an orphan with no relatives in his home country, had no attachments left there. After the incident, he became a mercenary. However, he had taken on several missions alone and was known among acquaintances as the Lone Wolf.

The Lone Wolf understood that relying solely on himself and not joining a mercenary team was not a sustainable solution because many tasks cannot be completed by one person alone. The few missions he had taken on alone were not particularly challenging, allowing him to complete them successfully.

Recently, several mercenary leaders had invited him to join their organizations, but he had not made a final decision yet. Receiving this mysterious recruitment message, he decided to sign up and give it a try.

If the organization’s strength was indeed impressive, joining would be a good choice. After all, he was already living a mercenary life on the edge of a gun. The best way to describe his current mindset was “no attachment to life.”

He became a mercenary in Africa not primarily for money but because he did not want to give up the passionate lifestyle.
