Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 279 - 274: They’ve Finally Made Their Move

Chapter 279: Chapter 274: They’ve Finally Made Their Move

The second superpower user glanced at the ceiling of the room, had a guess in mind, and quickly walked to the door to lock it.

As expected, when the door lock was opened, a sound came from the ceiling.

Immediately after, the ceiling was opened, and they saw a stranger coming down from above, startling the two almost to action.

"Don’t be nervous! I’m one of you..."

The man was quite agile, holding a box of medical supplies, and jumped down from the ceiling.

"Captain, I came to deliver medicine to you."

"Where is she?" the second superpower user asked.

The man rubbed his nose, "Not sure."

Though they were now in the same team, Ji Ning’s actions were never disclosed to them.

He only found the entrance to the ceiling to deliver medicine after receiving orders.

"What exactly is she up to? Playing us?" The second superpower user was quite agitated thinking about the recent events.

The man sympathized with them a bit, but continued to paint a rosy picture for Ji Ning, "Not at all, your current identities are as auxiliary detectives of the investigation team. You’re already recorded in the Security Bureau."

The second superpower user paused, then turned to look at the leader.

Seeing his calm face, he turned back with a stern look, "Our communication equipment was damaged by Ji Hong. Do you have new ones?"

"Yes, they’re here." The man opened the medical box, took out the first layer filled with medical supplies, revealing the communication equipment underneath, and handed it to them.

"By the way, our people are already on this ship, so you won’t be fighting alone."

The man’s way of reassuring them gradually eased the tension on their faces.

The second superpower user asked, "That Ji Hong is a multi-system superpower user, very powerful and smart. She seems to have discovered your people and is now searching the entire ship for them."

"The captain says not to bother with her. Your next task is to protect those girls. Leave the rest alone."

The second superpower user secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn’t want to deal with that crazy woman Ji Hong.

A powerful person with no limits—who knows what earth-shattering things she might do in the future?

To stay alive, they decided not to provoke such a werewolf.

Meanwhile.

After hearing yet again from the crew that no suspicious person was found, Ji Hong said expressionlessly, "Set sail immediately!"

Originally, this ship was supposed to dock here for a day and night, but Ji Hong ordered it to set sail, and the captain didn’t dare to defy her.

Once the two cargo ships returned to the sea, Ji Hong’s heart was still unsettled.

She knew that woman was surely on board, but she had no way to find her.

This feeling was like a bone stuck in the throat, but she was helpless.

She sat on top of the cargo ship’s cabin, looking at the distant sea, with no expression on her face.

The crewmates wanting to please her were now scared to make a sound, wishing they could stay as far away from her as possible.

At this moment, Ji Ning was not on the ship.

She had left before the ship set sail because she’d received a message from Lin Yuanyang.

[Chang Ru got into a car accident and was taken away while being transported to the hospital.]

Ji Ning immediately thought of the mastermind who planted a spy in the Huang Family.

They finally made their move.

Ji Ning, disguised, arrived at the hospital where Chang Ru was taken.

Lin Yuanyang’s voice came through the earpiece, "Sister Ning, although Chang Ru’s last location is at the hospital, it’s daytime now, and she’s suffered severe external injuries. I suspect they haven’t taken Chang Ru away yet."

"Send me the hospital layout." After looking around the emergency room, Ji Ning walked to a corner and spoke softly.

The emergency room was packed with people; the traffic accident was severe, with four or five people injured.

The most severely injured was the police officer who was supposed to meet Chang Ru, and it’s said he’s still in the ICU.

With emotions repressed in her eyes, Ji Ning moved to a quieter spot in the hospital and examined the hospital layout map.

The hospital was the largest in the city, covering 210,000 square meters. It took a few minutes to walk from the outpatient department to the inpatient department.

If it was your first time there, you might get lost.

With the layout map in hand, Ji Ning recalled the actual scene of the emergency building, calculating the easiest places to swap the patient.

She then proceeded to the emergency surgery elevator.

The elevator required a card swipe to enter; Ji Ning just needed to control a doctor to easily enter the emergency elevator.

There were many buttons inside, and Ji Ning recalled each floor’s structure, pressing number 3.

The third floor was the surgical area.

If they wanted to take Chang Ru away, they would first treat her injuries. The equipped operating rooms were on the third and fourth floors.

Ji Ning decided to check the third floor first.

She refrained from using her spiritual power to probe the hospital this time, as she’d exhausted it on the cargo ship and needed a couple of days to recover.

With a doctor’s help, Ji Ning successfully entered the surgical area.

There were many operating rooms here, with several single patient beds lined up in the hallway, holding patients waiting for surgery.

Ji Ning’s presence did not garner surprise from the patients or medical staff; they acted as though they hadn’t seen her.

Upon checking each operating room and not seeing Chang Ru, Ji Ning frowned.

The fourth floor also had surgical facilities, but it was primarily where surgeries for men were conducted.

"Are there any other rooms I haven’t been to?" Ji Ning asked.

The doctor paused and turned in another direction.

They returned to one of the operating rooms, now with the "in surgery" indicator light illuminated on the door.

The doctor couldn’t open the operating room, so he stood before the door and said, a bit dumbfounded, "There’s a quick access passage inside."

Ji Ning recalled the hospital layout from her mind and found the location and exit of that quick access passage.

It was the small garden behind the outpatient building.

Thinking it over, Ji Ning decided to check the fourth floor, and although she didn’t find anyone, she did discover a hidden superpower user.

The superpower user disguised as a nurse was in the medication room beside the operating theater, skillfully preparing medication.

Not wanting to alert the enemy, Ji Ning put on an unused surgical gown, cap, and mask to enter the medication room.

The person paused their actions upon her entry, slightly turned to shield the medicine bottles ahead, and casually asked, "What medication do you need? I’ll get it for you."

"500ml of saline and 2mg of ceftriaxone."

"Sure, I’ll get it for you."

The superpower user didn’t notice anything unusual about Ji Ning and pushed forward the medicine bottles in front of him before turning to the medicine shelf.

Ji Ning glanced at the brown bottles on the table, with the labels facing inwards, making it unreadable.

Yet her pupils contracted momentarily as she read the writing on the label from the other side.

Just common anti-inflammatory drugs.

Then why the need to hide it?

Ji Ning cast another glance at the superpower user getting her medication.

Suddenly, she struck—

With a karate chop infused with superpower aimed at his neck.

The superpower user instantly fell unconscious.

Ji Ning supported his body, slowly guiding him to the chair to sit down.

She then picked up the potion bottle half-filled by the superpower user and examined it closely.

As expected, the dosage was incorrect.
