Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 97: Do You Have a Fever?

"I’m going, Sister Ning..."

Lin Yuanyang immediately opened the window to let Ji Ning into the room.

Being suddenly knocked on the window in the middle of the night, if it were Bai Xiaotang, she would definitely be scared to death.

Lin Yuanyang pretended to be calm. After Ji Ning jumped into the room, he poked his head out to look outside.

Not even a hanging rope?

How did she climb over?

Before his shock could wear off, another thunderbolt hit.

"The people from the nightclub have tracked us down."

"What? How did they know we’re here? I erased all the surveillance footage cleanly..."

Lin Yuanyang was taken aback, his handsome brow furrowed, his small face tightened.

Ji Ning walked to the table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank half of it in one go before replying, "There’s a traitor next to Fu Yuanxuan."

Lin Yuanyang’s expression grew even more serious, he clenched his fist and banged on the table heavily, then pulled out a chair, sat in front of his Smart Brain, and his fingers flew over the keyboard.

Ji Ning knew what he was going to do and didn’t intervene. After finishing her water, she left through the window again.

About ten minutes later, having returned to her room, Ji Ning suddenly heard intense knocking at the door.

Beside her, Lin Yuanyang was the first to open the door and heard Fu Yuanxuan solemnly say, "Pack your things, leave immediately."

Then he knocked on her door.

Ji Ning slightly raised an eyebrow, draped in Bai Xiaotang’s oversized nightgown, and opened the door.

"You better have a good reason."

"Pack your things, go to the base immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing alarm rang out from outside the lodgings, and the searchlights outside shone as bright as daylight, piercing through the window.

Ji Ning squinted her eyes slightly, closed the door, turned around, and walked back into the room, tapping Bai Xiaotang on the neck.

The Sleeping Beauty on the bed slowly woke up, exclaimed, "Sister Ning, you... um..."

"Get up and pack your things."

Ji Ning released her hand covering her mouth, gave a look, and Bai Xiaotang’s muddled brain cleared up a bit.

Ji Ning straightened up, took off her large nightgown.

Bai Xiaotang was still a little dazed until the searchlights outside shone again, "What’s going on?"

"Fire drill at the lodgings."

Huh???

When the four of them left the lodgings to get in Fu Yuanxuan’s car, Ji Ning suddenly shouted, "Everyone, step back!"

Her body shot forward like an arrow, her pupils changed instantly, her palm opened facing the car.

In an instant, a fierce wind rose, and a huge shockwave was annihilated within the hurricane.

The wind came so suddenly that no one could react before being blown away from their positions, unable to open their eyes.

Bai Xiaotang felt she was like a kite at that moment, her feet off the ground, her body pushed far back by an invisible force, scaring her into screaming loudly, until a cold hand grabbed her.

She struggled to open her eyes, and vaguely saw Ji Ning’s calm face, making her frightened heart calm down.

With Sister Ning here, she shouldn’t be blown away.

The fierce wind persisted for 20 minutes before gradually dissipating.

The scene was a mess from the blow, and Fu Yuanxuan’s vehicle was unrecognizable.

Fu Yuanxuan, lying on the ground, quickly jumped up and ran straight towards Ji Ning beside Bai Xiaotang.

His eyes lit up with joy, just about to speak, but Ji Ning interrupted, "They’re getting away, aren’t you going to chase?"

Fu Yuanxuan swallowed his words, immediately ordered his team.

"Seal all exits, I want them alive."

Bai Xiaotang, shielded by Ji Ning, rubbed her gray face and spat a few times, "How did such strong winds suddenly come up? Sister Ning, are you okay? I saw you rush over..."

"I’m fine, got pushed out by the wind again." Ji Ning released Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang, dusted off her clothes, her gaze gradually turned cold as she looked in a certain direction.

They really seek death...

Meanwhile.

A man dressed in black tight clothing, wearing a mask, was sprinting rapidly towards the forest.

He carried an unconscious man on his back.

The sleeves hanging down were empty, with blood flowing everywhere.

That girl was terrifying; she used the wind to cripple so many of them, and the gentleman’s arms were destroyed directly.

If he couldn’t petrify his entire body, he would also have perished here today.

No wonder the gentleman had taken an interest in this superpower user.

While he was thinking, his sensitive ears twitched, he swiftly moved to the right, and a bullet with a metallic sheen grazed his arm, slicing through the air with a "whoosh" sound.

The man’s face turned pale, his body rolled to the side.

The person on his back also slipped to the ground, rolling several times.

"Gentleman..."

"Stop! You can’t escape."

The man’s body paused, an obscure light flashed in his eyes, he held his breath and clenched his fists tightly.

Suddenly, he saw his entire muscle bulging out, his whole body inflating like a balloon with air, expanding several times.

His muscles were hard as a rock.

The pursuers fired several shots, but it didn’t harm him at all; instead, one of them was almost seriously injured by a punch from him. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Mantis, be careful, his defense is extremely strong, quickly inject the superpower sealing needle!"

The pursuers immediately distanced themselves from the man, quickly changed their weapons.

At this moment, the man’s face was unpleasant, he glanced at the dying person not far off, gritted his teeth, and directly abandoned him to escape.

"Stop—"

***

Jiuming Mountain Base.

Fu Yuanxuan brought the three to a spare dormitory, looked at Ji Ning, "Miss Ji, please come with me."

Before Ji Ning could answer, Bai Xiaotang stretched out her hand defensively, blocking in front of Ji Ning.

"What do you want?"

Fu Yuanxuan raised an eyebrow, looked at Ji Ning, "There’s something..."

"No way, it’s late. Girls shouldn’t go out with men at night." Bai Xiaotang suddenly bounced in front of Fu Yuanxuan like a little cannonball, spread her arms to shield Ji Ning behind her, and shouted with her eyes closed, "Can’t it wait until tomorrow? Sister Ning is already very tired, didn’t you see her yawning all the time?"

"..."

Fu Yuanxuan looked at the angry baby face in front of him, his gaze darkened a bit, "Sorry, it was my poor arrangement that startled you. Go to sleep first."

Fu Yuanxuan left decisively, Bai Xiaotang let out a long sigh, her body deflated like a balloon, she turned around and hugged Ji Ning’s arm, her legs a bit wobbly.

"Sister Ning, did I... did I just yell at Fu Yuanxuan?"

"Mm."

"Oh no, I’m doomed... I must have been possessed... yes, possessed!"

"Pathetic!"

Ji Ning flicked her forehead, hands in her pockets, and happily walked towards the dormitory first.

The bunk beds in the base dormitory were so hard that Bai Xiaotang, used to sleeping on soft beds, found it exceedingly uncomfortable.

She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and stayed wide-eyed until dawn.

It wasn’t until the wake-up alarm from the Smart Brain sounded that she wobbled her heavy head and sat up.

Sleeping on the adjacent bunk, Ji Ning was unusually still asleep, so Bai Xiaotang tiptoed to dress and get ready for washing up.

The base’s washing sinks were outside the dormitory, Bai Xiaotang groggily found her toiletries, yawning, and walked out of the dormitory.

The cold autumn wind woke her up a bit.

"Phew... it’s quite cold."

Bai Xiaotang wrapped the coat draped over her more tightly, hunched her body, and walked towards the basin.

"Ah... so icy, no hot water?" Bai Xiaotang quickly withdrew her fingers, covering her cheeks, muttering softly.

"Use this."

The sudden male voice startled Bai Xiaotang; seeing it was Fu Yuanxuan, her voice rose sharply, "Brother Fu, do you walk without making any sound?"
