Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 345 - 340: We Can Cooperate More Deeply

The atmosphere in the room suddenly beca tense, making everyone hold their breath involuntarily.

Huang Ying’s gaze toward Ji Ning gradually carried a sense of awe.

Ye Xingyan initially intended to probe, but when t with Ji Ning’s all-seeing eyes, his expression grew restrained, and a trace of unease welled up within him.

A soft scoff was heard, and Ye Xingyan’s brain felt like it was being stabbed, his face turning deadly pale as fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Although I don’t know what’s there, these famous continents haven’t given up on approaching it in over a hundred years, sending countless elite superpower user squads, but most didn’t return. Those who did return were those who hadn’t found the right place..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Ying’s foot accidentally hit the bed’s leg, making a "thud" sound.

Ji Ning turned her head to look and saw Huang Ying’s very unpleasant face, her brows knitted tightly, staring intently at Ye Xingyan.

She once executed her final mission in the Pollution Zone, deep within the area, which led to most of her teammates perishing there, and she nearly didn’t make it back.

"What’s in there?" Huang Ying asked.

Ye Xingyan glanced at her, then looked at Ji Ning again and said, "Unclear, but rumors have it that after the Female War God erged from there, she awakened her superpowers, becoming the strongest on the Hua Continent."

The room fell into an eerie silence again, and after a while, a soft scoff from Ji Ning was heard.

"Seeking death."

The emotionless voice shattered the energy restraining Ye Xingyan, who then gasped for fresh air like a drowning man coming ashore, his whole body trembling.

But there was not a hint of fear in his eyes; instead, a touch of madness glimred there.

"What’s truly inside? Can it really break the human limit and make one a superpower user?" Ye Xingyan’s voice shifted from hoarse to significantly clearer.

Ji Ning’s face was somber and didn’t answer him.

This silence made Ye Xingyan more agitated, believing he was close to the answer.

"No. Setting foot there ans certain death!"

Huang Ying shuddered.

Ye Xingyan, however, remained skeptical, slightly lowering his head to hide the gleam in his eyes, "That’s all I know. My second brother probably knows more than I do. You could have a chat with him."

Ji Ning glanced at him and continued, "The Ye Family has many secrets indeed."

Ye Xingyan remained silent.

"That lunatic who attempted to assassinate Li Zhan, has he been laid to rest?" Ji Ning continued to inquire.

Ye Xingyan paused, looking at Ji Ning in surprise, "You know about that madman?"

Ji Ning chuckled softly, causing Ye Xingyan to assess her, uncertain about the extent of Ji Ning’s knowledge.

"Many matters within the Ye Family are only known when one becos the Family Head; I don’t know much."

"Is that so? How did CH3 co about?"

Ye Xingyan was now certain that Ji Ning knew more than he previously thought, things the Ye Family believed they had hidden might long have been known to her.

Finally, the expression on Ye Xingyan’s face beca serious.

Trained as a successor from a young age, he was privy to many secrets passed down through generations.

Revealing so secrets to the outside world could rewrite Hua Continent’s history.

Even though he was wanted by Hua Continent, he knew the gravity of the situation.

"We can have a more in-depth cooperation," Ye Xingyan said earnestly.

Ji Ning chuckled, "How do we cooperate?"

"I have always believed that any progress requires a lot of practice, and such practice surely entails sacrifice. I extracted a substance that can stimulate the human limits, turning ordinary people into superpower users."

This ti, Ye Xingyan did not shy away, directly revealing his research progress.

Beside him, Huang Ying drew a sharp breath, her eyes wide with shock.

Ji Ning, however, seed unsurprised and looked very calm, as if she had long known about this matter.

"Where was it extracted from?"

"From corpses, as you know." Ye Xingyan disclosed without reservation, his gaze fixed on Ji Ning’s eyes.

Even though Ji Ning had anticipated it, hearing confirmation from Ye Xingyan’s mouth still angered her.

She struggled to suppress her emotions, refraining from strangling the man opposite her, and coldly sneered, "All for the sake of progress and sacrifices, huh..."

Ye Xingyan ignored the sarcasm in Ji Ning’s words, at that mont disturbingly rational, like an emotionless mad scientist, continuing, "You cannot deny that being a superpower user is a form of human evolution. We are currently undergoing this evolution, and you should understand this evolution best..."

"Current superpower users are categorized into the Support System and Control System; so have evolved in bodily structure, and so have their cognitive regions evolved. So people possess high power with many superpowers, whereas others cannot progress further. This discrepancy, I believe, reflects incomplete evolution."

Saying this, Ye Xingyan’s eyes shone brightly at Ji Ning, growing brighter, "Based on extensive experintation, the degree of bodily evolution is directly related to the developnt of the human brain region. For ordinary people, brain developnt doesn’t exceed 2% in their lifeti, whereas for ordinary superpower users it can reach about 10%, and the higher the power, the greater the developnt of the brain region. If humans could achieve 100% brain developnt, then humans would no longer be human, but gods..."

Huang Ying’s heart tightened, her fingers instinctively reaching towards the weapon on her waist.

The deanor of Ye Xingyan before her was sowhat deranged, slightly abnormal, yet Ji Ning faced his mad talk unfazed.

Ji Ning patted the ever-alert Huang Ying, her expression faint, "So, what’s the brain developnt of your most satisfactory experintal subject?"

Ye Xingyan was about to respond but imdiately caught himself, giving Ji Ning an inscrutable smile, countering, "Miss Ji, are you considering cooperating with ?"

Huang Ying looked at Ji Ning with concern, knowing the high danger level of soone like Ye Xingyan, to be listed on an S-Class wanted list. Though Ji Ning was very powerful, she hoped Ji Ning wouldn’t have too much contact with Ye Xingyan.

Who could say if he had any special yet dangerous drugs to control others?

Yet Ji Ning’s expression never changed, making it impossible for her to discern Ji Ning’s thoughts.

"Of course, besides Miss Ji, this superpower user lady is also welco in my lab. I could give you a few more superpowers."

Huang Ying’s eyes were sharp, replying bluntly, "No need!"

Ye Xingyan’s eyes revealed a trace of regret, as if Huang Ying had missed out on a massive prize.

Ji Ning saw the unabashed Ye Xingyan in front of her, her smile broadening, and though Ye Xingyan believed Ji Ning agreed, only Huang Ying knew that the angrier Ji Ning was, the more she laughed.

"So, cooperation it is..."

"Feeling proud?" Ji Ning’s voice interrupted him.

Ye Xingyan was slightly taken aback, facing Ji Ning’s gaze filled with killing intent, causing a shiver in his heart.

He wanted to retreat but found his body unresponsive.

"What are you planning to do?"

Ji Ning replied with a smile, "Take a guess?"

As Ji Ning slowly approached, Ye Xingyan’s pupils dilated, a chill running through his body, understanding Ji Ning’s intent, "No... you can’t do this... you..."

At this mont, he deeply regretted deciding to et Ji Ning in person.

There were clearly better ways to get access to the corpses...
