Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 278 - 273: She Really Dared to Do It...

Ji Hong’s gaze at the superpower user Lao Si was chilling, and superpower user Lao Er instinctively shielded the fourth brother.

Ji Hong’s palm glowed with a layer of white light, which quickly entered the body of superpower user Lao Si.

A warm current flowed throughout his body, and the torn wounds began to itch as they rapidly healed.

Even his somewhat pale face became much rosier.

Ji Hong’s healing ability was quite enviable.

"The wound, I’ve healed it. If you happen to see any rats on the ship, please let me know."

Ji Hong said to the superpower user Lao Da, then took his people and left.

The four of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

The always carefree superpower user Lao San exclaimed, pulling open Si Di’s clothes: "Damn! The wound really healed. That healing ability is awesome."

Superpower user Lao Da quickly approached, pressing his finger around the wound on Lao Si’s skin and asked worriedly: "Does it feel uncomfortable?"

"No. The wound has a gentle force within it, warm."

Superpower user Lao Da breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his clothes, stood up, and said, "Try not to go out if you can, especially you, Lao San."

Ji Hong was searching for people so ostentatiously, he feared it was because Ji Ning had accidentally exposed his identity.

So they needed to conceal their intentions well.

***

Chang Ru never expected that even after running so far, she was still discovered.

Fortunately, her contact reacted quickly and managed to drag her around until they shook off the pursuing deckhands.

Chang Ru climbed shakily into a car, the sweat on her forehead had her hair clumped together, but she felt as relieved as if she had escaped from death.

"Captain, the target is safe..."

Before the words were finished, a truck suddenly went out of control from the left front, crashing directly towards the car Chang Ru was sitting in.

After a sharp braking sound.

The sedan crashed into a bridge pier on the side of the road.

The two people inside lost consciousness on the spot...

On the cargo ship, Ji Hong and her team searched Huang Liu’s ship several times without finding any suspicious person, and then turned their gaze to the cargo ship docked next to it.

"Go to that one!"

Big Head glanced at the neighboring cargo ship, called his shipmates, and led a grand march over to the other vessel.

With Ji Hong supporting him, Big Head searched another ship even more unscrupulously.

The disguised policemen could only curse under their breath.

Luckily, they’d been notified by Ji Ning beforehand and quickly stashed their surveillance equipment and disguised everything; otherwise, they’d all be "wrapped up like dumplings" by the deckhands.

"Boss Lady, nothing unusual was found. Everyone’s identity has been verified, all are genuine, all are deckhands employed by the Huang Family." Big Head responded nervously.

He could clearly feel Ji Hong’s face growing darker.

He added, "The rat might have already left."

Ji Hong looked out at the sea, pondered for a while, then sneered, "She definitely boarded the ship."

"She?" Big Head didn’t understand.

Ji Hong would not explain either, coldly saying, "From now on, keep a close watch on those four."

Big Head quickly agreed, fearing a delayed response might earn him Ji Hong’s reprimand.

Ji Hong then said, "Come over here..."

She beckoned to Big Head, lowered her voice, and whispered something in his ear.

Big Head’s expression subtly changed, he pursed his lips in reply, "Understood."

Hidden among the crowd on deck, Ji Ning’s previously calm eyes finally showed a tint of anger.

She really dared...

Ji Ning swiftly made her way through the crowd, heading toward the cabin.

The deckhands acted as though they didn’t see her, not even sparing a glance.

Elsewhere.

The girls who had been confined in two rooms were once again found as deckhands barged into the room using brute force.

Crying and screaming echoed incessantly.

But the deckhands acted as though they neither heard nor saw, brutally forcing the girls to the ground, intending to commit vile acts.

Suddenly —

The vicious deckhands seemed to be struck on the head by someone, their bodies stiffened, and they fell unconscious.

The struggling girls, upon seeing this, climbed up in fear and scrambled outside.

On the deck, as Ji Hong ate grapes, her gaze sharpened, and she swiftly rose, rushing toward a specific room.

But she only found a floor of unconscious deckhands and the already fleeing, trembling girls from the cabin.

Ji Hong’s face turned grim.

She had deliberately left her superpower at the door, intending to detect any intrusion, but caught no one in the end.

A truly cunning little rat!

She strode over, grabbing one of the girls by the neck, coldly interrogating, "Who saved you?"

The girl was choked to the point of struggling for air, her fair cheeks turning purplish-red. She strained to break free of the iron-like grip.

Eventually, the girl lost consciousness.

"Useless — "

Ji Hong tossed her aside, then looked at the remaining girls who were paralyzed with fear on the floor. After a quick glance, she focused on one girl, coldly demanding, "Tell me, who saved you?"

The girl shrank backward in terror, but Ji Hong wasn’t about to let her go, taking a few strides forward and lifting her by the collar, "If you don’t want to die, then tell me... who saved you?"

The girl was terrified, but her voice remained orderly, "No one saved us... they just fainted themselves..."

Ji Hong didn’t believe her, increasing the force.

The girl screamed in fear, "It’s true... they just fainted themselves... it’s true..."

Just as the girl’s eyes were about to roll back, suddenly —

A green light flashed by, and Ji Hong dodged quickly, but still ended up with a cut on her face.

She turned her head to see the superpower user Lao Da holding a leaf between his fingers.

He looked at her with full warning, "Ji Hong, you’re going too far."

Before the words were finished, Ji Hong had already released the girl and swung her fist to attack. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The superpower user Lao Da quickly met her, countering her punch.

In the narrow corridor of the cabin, the two engaged in a pure physical fight, exchanging blows fiercely.

The occasional emergence of superpowers was gradually worn down in each other’s attacks.

The superpower user Lao Da’s superpower level wasn’t as high as Ji Hong’s, but his strength exceeded hers, and his strong physique compensated for their superpower disparity, resulting in an evenly matched battle where neither could overpower the other.

The longer Ji Hong fought, the more alarmed she became, eventually taking a punch intentionally to create distance.

The superpower user Lao Da wiped away the blood seeping from his mouth, speaking in a deep voice, "I’m taking these girls with me."

Ji Hong’s eyes burned with anger, especially when she saw the other three superpower users glaring at her; it only fueled her rage.

If she hadn’t overused her water ability to intimidate the entire ship earlier, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage now.

She touched the wound on her face, suppressing the darkness in her eyes.

A powerful spiritual power had assisted him.

The superpower user Lao Da wasn’t much better off, the spots where Ji Hong had hit him ached like needles.

But he couldn’t show weakness now, holding his breath and quickly leaving.

The girls, as if seeing a savior, set aside their fear, supporting each other as they followed the superpower users.

Upon returning to the room, the superpower user Lao Da immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, alarming his underlings who rushed over.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Brother..."

"Lao Er, stay here. The two of you see to those girls." The superpower user Lao Da struggled to suppress the churning in his chest and gave orders.

"Boss, you’re like this... we..."

"Get out!"

Lao San saw the anger in his eyes and fearfully shut his mouth, obediently leaving with Lao Si.

"Lao Er, lock the door from the inside."
