Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 487 - 482: The Tree Became a Spirit

The speaker was Ji Ning, who was playing the role of You Le, but there were few responses inside the car.

The detectives were all thinking about their undercover tasks and didn’t want to escape now.

Only a few detectives still maintained their persona, responding, "I have no strength at all now, how can I escape?"

"Yeah, my hands and legs are weak now, I don’t even have the strength to smash the carriage."

Ji Ning glanced at Huang Ying, who immediately responded, "I’ve regained a bit of strength. When we stop, let’s see if we can break this door."

"I’ve regained a bit of strength too. Later, I’ll use my superpower to see if I can unlock the outside." The Wood Element Ability Investigator panted heavily.

Thinking to himself: If there’s a chance to get these kids out, they can avoid more suffering.

At worst, he can pretend to be exhausted and stay behind.

Ji Ning intentionally looked at him several times, quickly recalling his information.

ID 106, recently transferred from Southern Cloud City to Beijing, a C-level detective.

Eighth level Wood Element mutated superpower, proficient in controlling various poisonous plants, mainly mutated plants.

Due to his special abilities, a minor leader in the Security Department took an interest in him and used connections to transfer him to Beijing.

This C-level detective not only participated in the training camp and competition tasks.

Even this undercover mission was strongly recommended by the minor leader. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Coincidentally, that minor leader has a son in the Beijing Security Bureau as a C-level detective, also a Wood Element Ability User.

This is quite interesting.

Ji Ning gave ID 106 several more glances.

Everyone harbored their own thoughts.

Quietly waiting for the truck to stop.

...

Finally, at a small service station after leaving Anhe City, the truck stopped.

Black Bear’s confidants slightly opened the ventilation port in the carriage, then got out with others, planning to relieve themselves nearby and grab a bite to eat.

To them, these children were just like profitable goods, only they had to ensure nothing unexpected happened, so they monitored their condition regularly.

Ensuring they wouldn’t die and could arrive at the port breathing.

As for what happens afterward, it’s none of their concern.

Ji Ning waited until the few moved away, then looked at Huang Ying, "They should be far away, let’s act."

Huang Ying and several detectives immediately got up and moved toward the carriage door.

Ji Ning used the hidden camera blocking technique she learned from Lin Yuanyang.

Since the learning period was short, she could only temporarily deceive those people’s vision.

The Wood Element Ability Investigator pressed his palm tightly against the carriage wall, trying hard to sense nearby plants.

Fortunately, there were a few big trees next to where the truck stopped.

At this moment, in a nearby car, a five or six-year-old child watched in surprise as a tree branch suddenly extended, entwining the iron lock at the back of the large truck, pulling forcefully to the side.

"Mom, the big tree turned into a spirit..."

The child’s mother thought her child was joking and teased him, "If the big tree turned into a spirit, it would definitely take naughty children away."

But the child’s eyes widened even more, pointing at the rear window of the truck, crying out loudly, "Mom, the tree spirit took the naughty children away... wah wah wah..."

The child’s mother finally turned around to look, and her face went as white as paper, quickly hugging her child.

"Don’t look... We’ll leave immediately when daddy comes back."

The tree spirit was impossible, it must be nearby superpower users, but superpower users are a curious yet fearsome existence to ordinary people.

When ordinary people accidentally encounter them, they instinctively avoid them.

But things did not go as she wished, soon there was knocking on the window from outside the car.

She hugged her child tighter, not wanting to get involved.

They too were from out of town, driving over for a visit, unfamiliar with the area, and not wanting any trouble.

Yet she saw a young girl carrying a child about the same age as hers.

Feeling a bit compassionate.

She put the window down cautiously, asking, "What do you want?"

Ji Ning intentionally panted heavily, "Auntie, please take these three children to a safe place and call the police..."

The child’s mother was stunned for a moment, turning back to look at her child, slightly nodded, but didn’t open the car door, just lowered the window a bit more.

Ji Ning and Huang Ying still had to maintain their personas, so they could only cooperate in transferring the three children through the window.

"What about you?"

The child’s mother glanced at the rear window, vaguely seeing there were more people inside the truck.

She already understood that this was encountering child traffickers transferring a large number of children.

She hugged her child tighter.

Just then, her husband returned, thinking something was up, and walked over quickly to ask, "What’s going on?"

Huang Ying began to perform dramatically, "Uncle, we encountered child traffickers. Please help call the police..."

"What? Unbelievable! Who dares to kidnap people in broad daylight? Let me see who it is?"

The man had a strong sense of justice, saying he wanted to roll up his sleeves for a fight, but Huang Ying stopped him.

"Uncle, those people are superpower users, you can’t beat them. Please quickly take the younger siblings and escape, you must help us report to the police."

The man’s temper eased slightly, but his voice startled Black Bear’s confidants.

Seeing that they finally discovered the situation here, Ji Ning immediately opened the car door and pushed the man into the driver’s seat.

"Drive away quickly—"

The two turned to stop Black Bear’s confidants and others.

The man was also scared stiff, his fingers trembling for a long time before starting the car. If Ji Ning and Huang Ying hadn’t stopped them forcefully, the family of three would have been captured and sold too.

After the sedan finally started and drove away, Ji Ning and Huang Ying pretended to have no strength and fell to the ground.

"Damn it—"

"Little bastards, pretty good at escaping."

Black Bear’s confidants fiercely kicked the two several times, resentfully watching the car turn into a black shadow.

"Bro, should we chase?"

"Chase what? They are sure to call the police, let’s hit the road immediately!"

"Go check if anyone’s missing?"

Several quickly got in the truck, two climbed into the carriage to count heads, finding only the youngest three children missing.

But everyone else was accounted for, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the loss wasn’t large...

The detectives inside the truck either pretended to be unconscious or weak all over, each having their reasons for not escaping.

The Wood Element Ability Investigator initially thought You Le and Li Mu might escape, but seeing them captured again, sighed inwardly.

As punishment for their escape, the two were once again roughly tied up by hands and feet and injected with an increased dose.

The man administering the injection cursed, "I want to see how you will escape again, dare to run and I’ll break your legs—"

This injector didn’t leave the carriage, seeming to surveil them all the way.

The truck drove fast, with the cooperation of the Security Bureau and police letting things slide a bit, Black Bear’s confidants thrillingly drove to the designated dock.

To avoid arousing suspicion, police cars were arranged to chase them as well but were all "accidentally" intercepted.

Through this car chase, Li Wenxin caught more problematic individuals.

On the other side.

Black Bear’s confidants abandoned the truck, boarded the ship, and stuffed the children into small shipping containers like goods, loading them onto a small fishing boat.

By now, night had fallen, the waves were somewhat large, and the small boat rocked like a rootless duckweed in the tide.

The detectives were stacked like dominoes, with Ji Ning and Huang Ying at the bottom.

"Damn, feeling so seasick, really want to puke..."
