Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 380 - 375: New Targets

This energy has a certain impact on the human body and can purify the natural energy absorbed by superpower users.

Although it is rare and weak, prolonged wear can improve the physique of superpower users.

Therefore, for over a hundred years, the Commander’s relics have been revered by the Ji Family Army, which is an important reason.

Since the discovery of this unknown energy, the Ye Family has conducted secret research, but no progress has been made to this day.

It’s as if this energy appeared out of nowhere and does not belong to this planet.

Thinking of this, Ye Xingyan’s gaze towards Ji Ning became more intense, wanting to immediately inquire about the mysteries within.

But seeing these outsiders around, he restrained his thoughts.

The deputy leader leading the way was puzzled about the purpose of these four people’s visit.

Could they be here to handle the matter of that chip?

...

The Black Snake Gang deputy leader, nicknamed Black Bear, is also a member of the Ji Family Army, belonging to a lower-level member under the Left Wing faction.

Although not of high rank, he has always been responsible for managing the Nanling Region.

He provides Nanling intelligence to the Ji Family Army’s senior leadership, explores the Pollution Zone, searches for the resources they need, and engages in some gray activities.

Now, during this sensitive period, his people are detained at the First Base, and the chip on them was just exposed.

The Ji Family Army’s senior leadership sent people over, inevitably leading to a situation of accountability.

Black Bear felt anxious, respectfully bringing them to his office and said nervously, "Four distinguished guests, the chip issue was due to my people’s incompetence, but the chip has already self-destructed, and no information was leaked. So, could leniency be granted? I am willing to give up twenty percent of the recent profits to the four distinguished guests."

Xiao Shun and Ah Da were surprised, also looking towards Ji Ning.

They didn’t see clearly what Ji Ning had taken out earlier from where they stood.

Could she still have a token of the Black Snake Gang?

Not letting them think more, Ji Ning snorted coldly, "You should be grateful that the chip was destroyed in time, or your lives wouldn’t be enough to kill."

Black Bear nodded repeatedly, bent over, showing utmost respect.

"By the way, has there been any progress with the targets you’ve been asked to scout?"

Black Bear was slightly stunned, then relaxed, quickly straightening up, "Yes, yes, yes, we have scouted several targets, their talents are exceptionally good, definitely meeting the standards. Please step this way..."

Black Bear locked the room door, went to the wine rack, and turned a seemingly inconspicuous bottle at the lower left corner.

Then there was the sound of gears turning inside the wall, and the wall securing the wine rack opened into a small door just enough for one person to enter.

This mechanism was quite hidden.

Xiao Shun and Ah Da exchanged glances.

Was this an unexpected surprise?

But how did the group leader know he had issues?

Behind the small door was a file room, with a dozen heavy bookshelves arranged neatly, with the files inside organized by number.

Black Bear looked at these files with a hint of pride.

These were contributions he had made for the development of the Ji Family Army over the years.

The four representatives should be able to speak favorably on his behalf.

"This layer contains the latest targets. Their talents are excellent, and they will be sent continuously next month."

Black Bear took out a stack of file folders from one of the bookshelves, smiling, "Distinguished guests, you may choose first."

Ji Ning’s expression remained unchanged as she raised her hand and took one file folder, pouring out the contents inside.

A few clear photos of girls first fell out, featuring faces they were very familiar with.

"Her name is You Le, 17 years old, S-grade physique, no parents at home, only one elderly person, ordinary identity that won’t attract attention."

Seeing Ji Ning slightly nod, Black Bear opened another file folder and introduced the identity and background of the target person inside.

Xiao Shun and Ah Da suppressed the unusualness on their faces, silently waiting for Ji Ning’s command.

Ye Xingyan watched as Ji Ning calmly finished reviewing all the materials provided by Black Bear.

Once again lighting a candle for the Left Wing faction in his heart.

"All these people are being sent to the West Continent?"

"Not all, some are also going to Beizhou."

Ye Xingyan: ...

Black Bear hadn’t sensed the murderous intent in the room and felt complacent, "The higher-ups said that if Beizhou offers a high price, they can also send a few second-rate goods over."

"How much do you earn for one target?"

Black Bear’s expression restrained somewhat, not wanting to answer this question, but thinking about bribing these distinguished guests, he roughly mentioned a conservative figure.

Ji Ning smiled faintly, "Very good, you all are quite capable!"

"Please speak well of me to the higher-ups."

After the four cleaned out Black Bear’s words, they asked about the Mutated Tiger King.

"I saw you shot, and the strength of that Mutated Tiger King suddenly weakened. What’s going on?"

Black Bear looked puzzled, "Distinguished guests, these are bullets given to us by the higher-ups."

Ji Ning’s expression remained calm, "Understood, what do you think of the effect?"

Black Bear’s eyes sparkled, raised his thumb, "The effect is like this! It’s just that the quantity is too small, can more quotas be allocated to us? With this thing, we can at least go 20 kilometers deep."

Ji Ning nodded slightly.

Black Bear thought Ji Ning agreed, and his smile became even more sincere, inviting them to the camp for a meal.

But Ji Ning refused, "We can’t stay outside too long due to our current identity. If there’s anything, you can contact me at this number."

Black Bear repeatedly thanked them, humbly sending the four out of the camp.

Once they were far away, Black Bear’s smile instantly vanished, and he signaled his trusted aide.

Meanwhile.

Huang Ying and her team successfully followed the base’s transport vehicle out of the Pollution Zone.

They encountered a pack of Mutant Wolves this time, fortunately, Ah Mu, Ah Er, and Ah Si’s superpower levels were high, and they all had practical abilities, preventing any base warriors from being injured.

The group carried numerous Mutant Beast corpses and environmental samples.

The border guards watched with envy.

These are military accomplishments!

"Sister Huang, shall we head straight back to the city or wait for them?" Ah Mu asked softly.

Huang Ying glanced at the seven or eight Mutant Wolf corpses on the ground, thought for a moment, and said, "Contact Xiao Kong, pack two and then leave."

Huang Ying left one Mutated Wolf King and one Mutated Female Wolf, giving all other Mutant Wolf corpses to the border guards.

This made them extremely happy, and they immediately offered to drive them back to the city.

After thinking it over, Huang Ying agreed to ride to the Purification Forest West District.

There’s a distance from the border line to the Purification Forest Station, and none of the three had Space Ability. Carrying them over could scare many Forest Guards.

Rather than that, riding in the warriors’ cars could be more discreet.

...

Purification Forest West District.

Upon receiving Ah Mu’s message, Xiao Kong wanted to notify the three of them to end training for the day.

Just as he raised his head, he saw three suspicious figures approaching You Le.

The Forest Guards here in the West District were generally honest; besides teaching them how to plant Purification Trees on the first day, they typically wouldn’t approach them nor casually talk.

Everyone had burdensome tasks to do, where was the time to chat idly.

Xiao Kong watched them vigilantly for a while, then stepped forward.

"It’s time to go back!"

The three Forest Guards immediately shut their mouths once they saw someone coming and made excuses to leave.

Xiao Kong knew they were still observing secretly, so right in front of them, he packed the Purification Tree Seedlings on the ground into space.

Revealing his identity as a superpower user.

The eyes of the three Forest Guards showed a hint of surprise, and they did not dare to follow them again.

But not far away, Ah San had his eyes on them.
