Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 375 - 370: Chip Host

Maybe it’s because the man is an ordinary person.

They didn’t implant the chip into the back of his brain, but rather into his arm.

If it weren’t for Ji Ning’s timely intervention, the man’s arm would be useless.

"Clang——"

A chip, noticeably discolored, was thrown onto the surgical tray.

"Just a step too late."

Ye Xingyan put down the tweezers, quite regretfully.

Ji Ning’s expression was rather cold as she looked up at him, "It’s not something you researched?"

A trace of disgust surfaced in Ye Xingyan’s eyes, "Don’t compare me to those people. I’m not as crazy as they are."

"You don’t know about the chip?" Ji Ning didn’t bother to pretend with him.

Ye Xingyan’s fingers hesitated slightly, feeling a bit guilty, "I know some things, but I wasn’t involved." To make Ji Ning believe him, he solemnly added, "I only like drug development, not this kind of human-machine research. It’s against my research principles."

"Then what were you doing in the West Continent at the time?" Ji Ning’s voice was somewhat severe.

When they caught Ye Xingyan, there were too many things going on, and they didn’t have time to interrogate him.

Seeing the darkened chip now, Ji Ning couldn’t control her temper.

What kind of messed-up thing are they doing under her banner?

Ye Xingyan’s body trembled, feeling a slight chill on his neck, "I was invited to the Hosman Laboratory to see their latest achievement. It’s a repressive drug that controls human brain emotion feedback, related to Pan Qing’s kind of Immortal People." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Ji Ning sneered, "Immortal People? You know a lot, Ye Xingyan?"

Ye Xingyan felt distressed, wishing he hadn’t hidden the truth now that he knew the person before him was truly their Commander.

He honestly confessed some of what he knew.

Before the Hua Continent team 728 plan, several old families in the West Continent started researching experiments to extend the lifespan of superpower users.

Some superpower users, despite having immense power, had it affect their lifespan.

During the chaotic times, John Josen, the strongest in the West Continent, was such a superpower user.

To extend John Josen’s life, the major families of the West Continent spent massive resources on drug development, only barely managing to let him live an additional ten years.

In those ten years, they tried everything but couldn’t improve John Josen’s deteriorating body until a researcher proposed the Immortal People plan.

Extract all the memories from John Josen’s brain, convert them into data stored in a chip, and implant the chip once a suitable body is found, to resurrect John Josen.

The plan sounded insane, with unknown results, but the major families of the West Continent began the research.

Because John Josen was too important to them.

He was not only a representative of the West Continent’s combat power but also a mentor to high-level Control Ability Users.

As the level of superpower users increases, the advancements become more challenging.

Everyone was groping their way, without a universal method to enhance power.

At this time, a powerful superpower user with a strength of over level 16 was undoubtedly a strategic asset for the West Continent.

As long as he was alive, as long as his brain still functioned, the West Continent could continuously cultivate more high-level superpower users.

So the Immortal People plan received the approval of all high-levels and major forces in the West Continent.

And for decades, they had been working hard towards this plan.

...

"What’s the relationship between the Ji Family Army and this plan?" Ji Ning frowned slightly, expressing her discontent with the Ji Family Army’s involvement in the matter.

Ye Xingyan sighed, "Back then, as the Ji Family Army’s power grew, many forces had their eyes on them, wanting to gain absolute control of the Ji Family Army. However, many high-levels within the Ji Family Army viewed you as a spiritual leader and didn’t want to rely on any family or power, leading to different voices within the Ji Family Army. Over the years, the Ji Family Army evolved into two major factions, the Left Wing and the Right Wing. Both sides sought a way to awaken superpowers in ordinary people quickly. I advocated for drug enhancement, but the Left Wing chose to collaborate with the West Continent..."

At this point, Ye Xingyan’s eyes were filled with unabashed disgust, as if he didn’t want to associate with them.

Ji Ning was not swayed by his display, coldly laughing, "Is it all for power?"

Ye Xingyan’s expression froze. Avoiding Ji Ning’s insightful gaze, he uncomfortably said, "The Right Wing controlling the Ji Family Army is better than the Left Wing. They have no bottom line now!"

"And you have one?"

Ye Xingyan fell silent, pressing his lips without speaking.

Ji Ning felt a headache and wanted to punch someone.

She could understand her three followers’ original intention of founding the Ji Family Army. Such a spiritual power indeed quickly united people’s hearts and stabilized the situation in the short term. But they neglected the complexity and greed of human nature and failed to make timely, correct adjustments, leading this spiritual power to become a shield for some to pursue their interests.

It was like painstakingly maintaining a crumbling building, only to be forced to rebuild a new team to overcome challenges and solve crises to ensure it wouldn’t collapse. But as the crisis eased, most of the residents considered the new team more powerful, displeasing the former leaders. The two teams began undermining each other in secret to win over the public, causing the seemingly stable building to fall into crisis again, on the verge of collapse.

Ye Xingyan saw Ji Ning’s rising anger and ignited the fire again, "The Left Wing gained partial authority over the Smart Brain."

Damn!

Why should she clean up these people’s messes?

Blast it! Why were these people sent back in time at all?

Might as well just blow them up.

Suddenly, Ji Ning had a strong urge to let it all go.

But Lin Yuanyang’s communication forced her to muster herself.

Information Room——

"What’s wrong with these Western Continent people? Are their brains severely ill?" A base soldier couldn’t help but curse after seeing the decoded contents.

Pan Qing’s biological chip in her brain contained massive information.

Although they were Pan Min’s memories, the extracted contents from these memories were chilling.

More terrifying than horror stories.

Pan Qing wasn’t the only one implanted with a chip; she was host number 80456 for the Eternal Life Sect.

The host refers to the person implanted with the chip, such as Pan Qing.

Each host, regardless of health, has a fixed number assigned according to the implantation order.

In other words, before Pan Qing, over 80,000 people’s brains had been implanted with chips.

This occurred over thirty years ago, and now, after so many years, the number of people implanted with chips had only increased.

So much that the base soldiers couldn’t fathom it.

Most of these chip-implanted individuals were relatives of Eternal Life Sect believers.

The Eternal Life Sect believed that the closer the blood relation, the stronger the host’s body, increasing the chances of the believer’s resurrection.

So they selected hosts with at least S-Class physiques and close blood relations to dying believers.

Pan Qing coincidentally fit both criteria and was unfortunately chosen by Pan Min as a resurrection host post-mortem.

If Pan Qing were awake now, she would likely want to dig up Pan Min’s grave.

Being related brought eight generations of bad luck!
