Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 356 - 351: That Person Made a Move
"Old Five, don’t increase it any further. His body seems to have reached its limit," Hei Qi softly reminded the person sitting next to him.
Only then did Hei Wu press the pause button on the controller beside him.
The body of the 10th Rank superpower user was like a deflating balloon, instantly slumping onto the chair.
His eyes tightly shut, he seemed to have lost consciousness.
Hei Wu pressed the communication button on the intercom on the table, "Call the medical team in."
Soon, the heavy door of the interrogation room was opened from the outside, and three doctors in white coats, masks, and medical caps quickly came in.
The three rushed to examine the 10th Rank superpower user. After a flurry of activity, one of them turned to Hei Wu and shook his head.
Hei Wu pursed his lips, his expression grim, helplessly glancing at the person on the floor, and strode out.
Hei Qi looked at the person already placed on a stretcher, secretly sighed.
Since Hei Wu took office, he hasn’t encountered a mouth he couldn’t open yet.
This person is really not smart!
Watching the person being carried to the treatment room not far away, Hei Qi finally relaxed his tense nerves.
Turning around, he saw Hei Wu standing by a window in the hallway, looking at the gloomy scene outside, his face solemn.
He walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "Old Five, does this person have anything special about him?"
Hei Wu didn’t answer, but the pressure around him became even heavier.
Clearly, he didn’t find any special information.
Hei Qi advised, "If you ask me, you and Old Four are just too tense. Although the chief values that A-level detective, he didn’t say we should follow her orders completely..."
Before he finished, the person in front had already rushed full speed towards the medical room.
Sharp cries of agony echoed from not far away.
"Ah———"
***
"Beep——Beep——Beep——"
The piercing alarm siren pierced the sky, causing people and animals within a two-kilometer radius to change upon hearing it.
Three people crawled out of a secret passage somewhere, their expressions turned solemn as they looked towards the base.
The high searchlights moved rapidly in the sky like white columnar beams, faint sounds of large crowds moving could be heard.
What happened?
"That person made a move."
The cool voice seemed to come from the air.
Fu Yuanxuan’s pupils shrank slightly, and in almost the blink of an eye, Ji Ning could no longer be seen.
Such speed could be called a human "ultimate weapon."
Can someone like this really be controlled?
Fu Yuanxuan suddenly shivered.
"Xiao Xuan, give me a straight answer, who is this girl? Is she really related to that person?"
"Uncle Zhang." Fu Yuanxuan immediately stopped Zhang Huaixin.
The two glanced at each other, seeing cautious looks in each other’s eyes.
On the other side.
Ji Ning rapidly hurried back to Jiuming Mountain Base.
At this time, the major gates of the base were already on lockdown, additional warriors were at the entrance, and the tall walls were rigged with high-voltage electricity and laser beams.
The searchlights bright as daylight enveloped the entire base, as if even a mosquito could be seen clearly.
Ji Ning had just appeared 500 meters outside the base when she was locked onto by advanced thermal weapons.
The elite hidden in the dark were ready to take her down.
Ji Ning could have escaped detection, but to avoid misunderstanding, she voluntarily revealed her identity. She pressed the smart brain on her wrist, releasing her identity as an A-level detective of the Security Department, but the alert on the opposite side still did not relax.
"Person on the other side, show your suppression ring, and stand still!"
Ji Ning pursed her lips, raised her left hand showing the intricately engraved Phoenix patterned suppression ring.
The unique cold color of the metal gleamed under the searchlights, making the base warriors squint, realizing the identity background represented by this suppression ring after a while.
They softened their attitude and gestured for clearance.
Ji Ning glanced at the suppression ring on her wrist, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.
The base warrior receiving her at the base’s entrance was Mantis, one of Fu Yuanxuan’s subordinates. Seeing her approach, he anxiously looked behind her, "Sister Ning, where is our boss?"
"In the back." Ji Ning didn’t stop, asking as she walked, "Where did the person escape to?"
Mantis didn’t care about his own boss, quickly following, "Still likely within the base. The Black Group members have gone to chase."
"How did they escape?"
"Pretended to faint, escaped while being taken out of the interrogation room for treatment."
"Were there any deaths?"
"Not yet, one seriously injured, two lightly injured."
Ji Ning gave a slight nod, quickening her pace even more.
Mantis felt like he was almost running.
"Sister Ning, where are you going?"
"To catch the person."
"Huh? Do you know where the suspect is?"
Mantis paused, extremely surprised.
But the figure ahead only gave him a silent back as an answer, suddenly making Mantis feel like he’d done something foolish again.
Jiuming Mountain had just had a heavy snow, but the base roads were kept clean by the soldiers, only the roadside green belts still covered with a thick layer of white snow.
From a distance, it looked like a layer of crystal white gauze, adding a unique touch to the scene.
Mantis couldn’t enjoy the beautiful scenery because the woman in front was walking rapidly, without a consistent direction, a brief distraction and he’d lose track. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Until she stopped near an area of accumulated snow.
This was a plot in front of the building housing the interrogation room, initially planted with many flowers in the spring, but now with the onset of winter, the plants in the plot had withered, and the soldiers had pulled out the remaining dead branches, leaving only bare black soil, waiting for spring to sow seeds again.
After the snow, the piled snow leveled the distance between the soil surface and the flowerbed edge, turning the flowerbed into a pristine white flat, with no trampling marks.
Such a "smooth" flowerbed could hardly hide a person.
Mantis looked at Ji Ning in surprise, "What’s the matter, Sister Ning?"
But Ji Ning kept her eyes on the flowerbed, suddenly reaching out to strum the air.
Even though he awakened a superpower, he couldn’t feel any energy fluctuation in the air, only hearing a man’s muffled groan.
A figure gradually appeared in the empty air, startling Mantis enough to make him shudder.
"Damn, really hiding here?" Mantis couldn’t care about the complaint, already rising to chase after the escaping suspect.
But the suspect, at the flowerbed’s edge, seemed to hit a wall, was ejected back, and rolled to the ground.
The splattered snow and mud rose three feet high.
Mantis immediately raised his arm to shield his eyes.
"Watch out——"
Just as a whistling sound cut through the air, Mantis’s danger sense alerted him to full, but it was too late to dodge.
He was ready to withstand this wave of superpower attack with his body, but felt no pain, instead something collided violently not far in front of him, again bursting snow and mud.
His body acted faster than his mind, retreating rapidly several steps.
Reopening his eyes, he saw Ji Ning standing below the flowerbed with arms crossed, while the suspect charged around inside the flowerbed area like a trapped animal, the surroundings seemingly enveloped by an invisible force, preventing escape.
Mantis swallowed difficultly, his eyes full of shock.
"Sister Ning...he...he’s..."
Ji Ning glanced at him faintly, her gaze falling on several figures hurrying over the flowerbed.
Clad in black, though unmasked, the energy emanating from them suggested they were Fu Ninghao’s guards.
She had felt these individuals’ energy during the celebration.
Unexpectedly, Fu Ninghao really valued her...
Ji Ning withdrew her gaze, strummed the air again.
The person in the middle of the flowerbed instantly fell to the ground.
Hei Wu paused, suddenly looking at Ji Ning.
