Chapter 1149
At this point, the interrogation of He Chengshi and his associates had also ended.
He Chengshi and the burly man refused to utter a word, only cursing loudly in the interrogation room!
The tall, thin guy, also known as the third brother, was the first to have his mouth pried open.
He was also well aware of the relationship between Xiao Sheng and that person named Chang Zhile.
Even before Captain Chen entered, Lieutenant Yun had already reported the third brother's confession.
It turns out that Chang Zhile was just a smokescreen put out by He Chengshi.
He Chengshi's team did indeed have a person with special talent, but he deliberately chose Chang Zhile, who was the ugliest-looking, to impersonate him in order to confuse the situation.
He believed that talented people should look different from others so that people would be more likely to believe them.
And the person who was truly skilled at identifying directions was Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng's background is very pitiful. His parents died when he was young, and he struggled to survive alone with a team of survivors.
In the apocalypse, everyone is in danger, and it's already a blessing to be able to fill one's stomach. No one has the energy to take care of a young child.
Xiao Sheng was different from others from a young age. He especially loved the sea. Not long after he learned to walk, he dared to run to the beach to play in the water and learned to scuba dive at a very young age.
As he grew older, because he was too young to get food, he often dived into the sea to catch fish to fill his stomach.
It was during his repeated dives that his talent for finding directions gradually became apparent.
No matter how far he travels in the vast ocean, he can always find his way back accurately and has never lost his way.
He Chengshi was a shrewd man, and he quickly discovered Xiao Sheng's talent, so he took him under his wing.
He Chengshi was neither good nor bad to Xiao Sheng; at least he could feed him.
But Xiao Sheng's personality became increasingly withdrawn and cold. He didn't like interacting with people, and his favorite thing to do was to stay alone in the sea, as if only the sea could give him a sense of security.
His indifference had reached a point of near numbness; even seeing someone die in front of him left him unmoved, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
During the interrogation, the third brother also mentioned that this child had mental problems and was different from normal people.
Even He Chengshi was sometimes a little afraid of him, and privately complained to his confidants that Xiao Sheng was too abnormal and made people feel eerie.
However, when they are sailing at sea, they need Xiao Sheng's talent the most.
Therefore, He Chengshi had to suppress his fear and dislike of the other person in order to keep him by his side.
Captain Chen looked at the boy, who was only a teenager, and frowned slightly.
This child's talent is extremely valuable and something the fleet desperately needs.
However, his personality is too withdrawn and cold, and he has serious psychological problems. Handing him over to soldiers for supervision would probably only make him more isolated.
Having spent most of his time leading troops at sea and dealing with adults, he had absolutely no experience in how to comfort a sensitive teenager.
After much thought, a name gradually emerged in his mind.
Dr. Zhou is thoughtful and has a much gentler temperament than the tough guys in the military, so he probably knows better how to deal with kids like this.
Moreover, Xiao Sheng, like Dr. Zhou, is a gifted individual among ordinary humans. Perhaps they can find common ground and become closer.
After making up his mind, Captain Chen sent a soldier to invite Zhou Shuwan over.
Not long after, Zhou Shuwan pushed open the door and entered.
She had just finished cleaning up the bloodstains in her house, and her face still looked a little tired.
Upon seeing Xiao Sheng in the office, a fleeting hint of surprise crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and looked at Captain Chen: "Captain, you wanted to see me?"
Captain Chen pointed to Xiao Sheng and got straight to the point: "Dr. Zhou, this child is called Xiao Sheng. He's the one who's very talented at identifying directions."
