Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 383 - 378: The Only Fully Evolved New Human!

Chapter 383: Chapter 378: The Only Fully Evolved New Human!

Ji Ning’s face was calm, "Ye Xingyan, you should know that before being a researcher, you are first and foremost a human."

"I know you all look down on me, think I’ve disgraced our forebears’ honor. But we don’t have much time left! If humanity wants to survive, we must evolve at any cost. If you all want to be saints, then I’ll be the beast, take all the blame on myself!"

Ye Xingyan’s eyes were slightly red, and the determination in his gaze was unprecedented.

Ji Ning was slightly taken aback, looking at him for a long while.

"The reason your research is unstable is due to the lack of something."

"What?"

Ye Xingyan’s eyes lit up instantly, disregarding the moment of anger he just had towards Ji Ning.

He was eager to know what it was.

But Ji Ning just shook her head.

"You can’t get it."

What?

Ye Xingyan was full of shock and immediately asked, "Is it in area 318217?"

Ji Ning pressed her lips together in silence.

Ye Xingyan’s eyes showed a more fervent look.

"I knew it was there! Our forebears marked that area as forbidden, destroyed those files, but it was beyond their control... hahaha..."

Ji Ning frowned slightly, "How did you guys know about that place?"

Ye Xingyan smiled without answering, instead asking, "Commander, are you the only one who came back alive from there?"

His eyes burned, not missing any emotion on Ji Ning’s face, but unfortunately, she was too calm, giving him no information. But it didn’t matter.

Her attitude had confirmed many of his suspicions.

"Commander, I speculate that there must be some unknown thing there that can make humans evolve rapidly, and the reason you are so powerful is because of the things there, right?"

"It’s very dangerous there!" Ji Ning warned.

But Ye Xingyan was so happy that tears were about to flow, looking at Ji Ning with eyes full of fervor, ecstasy, and a complex, indescribable emotion, "Commander, you might be the only completely evolved new human among all superpower users! Your blood carries some unknown energy that can turn ordinary people into superpower users!"

Ji Ning’s expression turned serious, and in an instant, she appeared in front of Ye Xingyan, raising her hand to grasp his neck.

Expressionless: "What do you know?"

Ye Xingyan smiled, not caring if he might perish, saying hoarsely, "Commander, let’s cooperate!"

***

After a journey of more than 5 hours, the plane finally landed at Anhe City airport.

Bai Xiaotang looked reluctantly at Ji Ning, "Sister Ning, when will you take a break? It’s only three days until the New Year. My brother and I have decided to spend it in Anhe this year. Then Instructor Huang, You Le and her grandmother, as well as Sister Xiaotong, Xiao Yang will all be there... can you spend the New Year with us?"

Bai Xiaotang glanced at a few of the Security Bureau detectives near Ji Ning, asked softly.

They clearly had tasks at hand, and she wondered if asking Sister Ning about taking time off would cause trouble for her?

But this would be her first time celebrating the New Year in Anhe, with family and friends, and she didn’t want anyone to be missing.

Ji Ning checked the date, thought for a moment, replied, "I’ll try to be back."

"Great, we’ll wait for you!" Bai Xiaotang, having gotten a positive answer, skipped away happily, shouting, "Instructor, Xiao Yang, Sister You, Sister Ning said she’ll come back to spend the New Year with us~"

"Sister Ning, we’re waiting for you!" Lin Yuanyang and You Le, uncharacteristically childlike, waved and shouted to Ji Ning.

Watching the backs of those walking away, Ji Ning’s lips curled slightly upward, a gentle color filled her eyes.

"These kids have good potential," Ye Xingyan commented. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Ji Ning’s emotions cooled, she glanced coldly at him, then turned to walk towards the transfer gate.

They weren’t going to Nanling just to train three kids, more importantly, they were investigating a case of missing persons.

Previously, from Ye Tong’s incident, she learned there was a human trafficking route in Nanling, but Black Bear and the others destroyed that line in time. Later, from the incident with You Le, Fu Yuanxuan found some clues, discovering that it involved certain forces within the Ji Family Army, forces that were widespread with a very large network.

There were not only detectives from the Security Bureau, but also members from major noble families, hunters from the Hunter Alliance, researchers from Huazhou Research Institute, and management from Huazhou Base, to find out what these Ji Family Army forces were really up to, she decided to start the investigation in the chaotic Nanling.

Publicly, they used training as a cover, while actually investigating the Hunter Alliance and the First Base.

Fu Lishen always thought they were there to investigate the Hunter Alliance, but privately, they were also investigating the First Base.

Unexpectedly, Pan Min’s incident suddenly arose, linking the West Continent Eternal Life Sect and the Left Wing of the Ji Family Army.

For this kind of cross-continent investigation, she must inform Li Wenxin and the other two.

Regardless of whether they were involved or not, she had to make a trip to the West Continent.

***

From Anhe to Beijing, the flight took about two hours.

As soon as she got off the plane, Ji Ning’s expression turned serious, vigilantly looking at a shuttle bus parked not far away.

Ye Xingyan, seeing her so sharp, couldn’t help but laugh softly, "My people have come to pick me up. We’ll meet again, I hope you’ll take me along when you go to the West Continent."

Always monitoring Ye Xingyan, Xiao Shun and Asheng anxiously turned to Ji Ning, "Leader, we can’t let him go..."

"Let him go!"

"But..."

Ji Ning looked threateningly at Ye Xingyan, "He won’t come back to the Hua Continent! Right?"

Ye Xingyan replied with a smile, "Of course, rest assured, from now on, I’ll report my itinerary to Leader Ji."

Asheng felt deeply reluctant to let the S-Class wanted criminal they had worked so hard to capture leave the Hua Continent so brazenly, he whispered Ji Ning’s name again.

"Leader, this person is too dangerous, we can’t let him go."

But Xiao Shun took one look at Ji Ning’s expression, immediately pulled Asheng and gave her a meaningful look.

Ji Ning watched as Ye Xingyan boarded the shuttle bus, then said to them, "The car has 12 superpower users above Fifteenth Rank."

What?

Everyone’s complexion changed drastically.

In disbelief, they looked at the shuttle bus moving away.

Previously, it was rare to see a superpower user above the Eighth Rank, but lately, several Tenth Rank superpower users appeared one after another, even two of the legendary Sixteenth Rank combat forces, which are globally no more than five, emerged, and with their leader, that made three.

Now they were told that there were 12 in that shuttle bus?

This completely overturned their understanding.

No wonder Ye Xingyan, as an S-Class wanted criminal, dared to return to the Hua Continent?

He was fearless!

"Leader, should we report this?" After finally regaining their voice, everyone looked towards Ji Ning.

"Report it, Ye Xingyan has developed the Superpower Awakening Medicine."

"Really?" Xiao Shun asked in disbelief.

Ji Ning’s dark pupils gazed into the distance, unemotionally saying, "But at the same level, those who pop drugs to become superpower users are nothing but show."

Even though Ji Ning said this, Xiao Shun and the others were shamefully tempted for a moment.

The leader of the Twelve Guards, who finally didn’t feel that intense threat, nervously asked Ye Xingyan, "K, who was that person just now? I felt a threat."

With a smile, Ye Xingyan glanced at him, "She’s not an enemy, soon you’ll know."

The leader of the Twelve Guards showed a hint of surprise and asked no more questions.

"By the way, notify our people to quietly withdraw from the Hua Continent."

The leader of the Twelve Guards didn’t understand, but out of habit of following orders, he replied, "Yes—"
