Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 493 - 488: Death Island
The man dressed in camouflage, wearing a half-mask, stood on a wooden platform more than a meter high, coldly surveying the new batch of assassin seedlings below.
Very dissatisfied in his heart.
The number is too small, unable to cultivate the top-level assassins he desires.
Below the stage, the four detectives felt very uneasy, not expecting to be sent to an assassin training camp, something quite different from the original mission they received.
Are they really expected to target these kids?
The four felt resistant internally, planning how to get the news out from here so their people can rescue the children sooner.
Ji Ning glanced around, noticing that not only had the five of them been brought here, but many unfamiliar faces as well.
They were all young, thin and frail, as if just taken from some refugee camp.
Some of the children’s skin color and features differed greatly from theirs.
Feeling even more disgusted with the so-called Temporary Leader of the Ji Family Army, and those beasts who treat human lives like grass.
After scanning everyone, the man on the stage said harshly, "The rules here are simple, survival of the fittest. If you want something, fight for it with all your might. Nobody will look down on you, unless you become the sheep waiting to be slaughtered."
At this point, the man paused, suddenly striking with a knife, ending the bloodied figure tied to a log not far away.
The children were terrified, retreating backward, and some screamed trying to flee but were stabbed in the leg by the man.
A shrill cry was heard, "Ah—"
The injured boy’s mouth was quickly covered by nearby assassins, dragged to a standing log beside him, becoming the second lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Ji Ning’s eyes widened, fists instantly clenched, glaring angrily at the man on the stage.
Between his fingers, the man’s voice carried a certain pleasure, his knife pointing towards the boy, saying in a haunting manner, "So if you want to survive, want to live better, want to stand at the top, you must become stronger, stepping all lambs underfoot..."
As the words fell, the sharp blade also flew towards the boy’s forehead.
Just when the man wanted to savor the fear of the sheep below the stage, his knife seemed to strike an invisible wall, bouncing back, the tip even pointing directly at a killer near the boy.
Instantly embedded in his shoulder.
A muffled groan was heard, the assassin staggered two steps, falling to the ground.
"Who—" The man on stage was instantly alert.
Nearby assassins also aimed their weapons at all the children in the center.
Ji Ning’s pupils were already deep and dark, slowly walking out from the crowd.
The solemnity on her face suddenly gave the man a sense of crisis.
"Who are you?" The man controlled the blade in his hand, looking at Ji Ning with caution.
"You brought me here, wouldn’t know who I am?"
Ji Ning’s voice was cold to the extreme, with every step she took, there was a sound of one assassin after another falling and spitting blood among the children.
The four detectives in the crowd were shocked, wanting to help but felt rooted to the spot like there were nails underfoot.
They were actually being controlled physically.
The man watched his men fall one by one, felt unease, his voice carrying a hint of fear, "Can we talk about it..."
Before he finished speaking, his body was already rendered uncontrollable.
His brain was forcefully invaded by a violent energy, instantly plunging into darkness.
On this island, only this man had a chip in the back of his brain.
But she had already forcefully disconnected this chip from the Smart Brain.
Have to say, Lin Yuanyang’s newly awakened superpower was really useful, allowing her to finally not fear these chips suddenly exploding at any time.
Just this superpower wasn’t quite skillful yet.
The sudden situation terrified the children below the stage, but none dared to escape.
The previous example had instilled too much fear in them.
The four detectives below had already confirmed that the girl in front of them was also undercover, now contemplating whether to step forward and reveal themselves.
When suddenly they heard the girl’s voice, still laced with anger, from the stage, "You four, come to help."
The four startled, looked at each other in astonishment, it seemed she only recognized them four here.
***
Several hours later—
The four stood outside a house, waiting quietly.
The shock inside their hearts had become numb.
The detective posing as You Le was incredibly strong.
Without batting an eye, she had wiped out all the assassins on the island, cleanly and swiftly, instantly disposing of them, and had even made them help move bodies.
Looking at the neatly arranged corpses not far away, they only felt their scalp tingling and a chill surging through them.
Some suspected whether she was really undercover.
Although they were all detectives, they had never been stained with blood.
Suddenly—
The wooden door behind them opened, Ji Ning walked out wearing a mask, with bloody rubber gloves on her hands.
The four tightened their expressions, standing correctly.
"You transport him to the cave without jolting."
Ji Ning tossed the bloody rubber gloves beside the assassin’s body, walking coldly towards another house.
The four quickly went in to lift the person, following Ji Ning into another house.
The buildings on this island were rather simple, mostly built against the mountain, with part of the space built inside the mountain body.
Many facilities were for training assassins, with real living areas concentrated in a cave.
The cave inside was quite spacious, as if a hollowed-out mountain, constructed into an air-raid shelter.
But the conditions were somewhat sparse, each room had very small space, all were bunk beds.
When Ji Ning arrived, dozens of children were all huddled in the room, not daring to move.
Even crying softly.
Ji Ning was not adept at comforting kids, so she instructed the four detectives to register the children’s information.
As meticulously trained detectives by the Security Bureau, learning languages of various continents was also part of their systematic study.
Ji Ning was very assured of them.
Seeing she seemed aware of their undercover identity, the four did not hide anymore.
As a result, the familiar phrase, familiar process, led them to finally recognize each other’s colleague relationships.
This... the confidentiality measures are indeed meticulous...
The four knowingly smiled bitterly.
***
On the other side.
Ji Ning arrived at the room where assassins lived, took out the Smart Brain equipment Lin Yuanyang had modified for her from her space.
Entered a string of codes, successfully bypassed the main program of Smart Brain, connected with Lin Yuanyang.
"You Le? Why did you use... Sister Ning?"
Seeing You Le on the screen suddenly becoming Ji Ning, Lin Yuanyang’s expression changed.
"Long story short, I need immediate access to the main program of Smart Brain, assist me remotely."
Lin Yuanyang’s expression was grave, cautiously glanced around, said, "Give me half an hour."
He was still outside, had to hurry back to Mingfu Garden.
Ji Ning slightly nodded, directly going offline.
While waiting for Lin Yuanyang, she used Smart Brain to decrypt the chip extracted from the assassin leader’s brain.
Seeing the nauseating information inside, she felt the urge to crush those assassins’ corpses to dust a few more times.
This island was not the only place nurturing assassins.
There were more than a dozen similar islands, scattered on remote islets worldwide, training over ten thousand assassins.
The main tasks of these assassins were to assassinate all individuals opposing Ji Family Army’s influence.
Secondly, to infiltrate various continents as spies, collecting intelligence.
Enduring her anger, Ji Ning quickly finished reading the man’s memory information.
Remembered the coordinates of each small island, planning a complete annihilation afterwards.
Half an hour later—
Lin Yuanyang came online right on time...
