Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 381 - 376: Are These Kids’ Parents Out of Their Mind

Xiao Kong led three people quickly towards the road and saw two off-road vehicles from the base parked nearby.

"Oh my god! What is this?" Bai Xiaotang was the first to notice the mutant wolf’s corpse in the SUV and exclaid.

Lin Yuanyang and You Le quickly stepped forward, leaning on the car door in amazent to look inside.

Their knowledge of mutant creatures existed only in textbooks, docuntaries, and museums; they had never observed a freshly dispatched mutant creature so closely.

Before coming to Nanling, they even asked Huang Ying if they could encounter a mutant creature and had sowhat hoped to see one.

But Sister Ning only let them plant trees in the semi-polluted area and did not allow them to go to the more dangerous planting forest in the South District.

Now, they finally see two vibrant mutant wolf bodies.

So real, yet so grueso.

Xiao Kong was also seeing a mutant creature for the first ti. After being shocked, he quickly stored the corpse into space.

Huang Ying thanked the base warriors who had escorted them and led everyone to the plantation station.

It wasn’t the peak ti to return to the city now, so there weren’t many people waiting at the station.

Taking advantage that the train hadn’t arrived, Bai Xiaotang bombarded their small group chat through the communicator.

[Bai Xiaotang: Instructor, calling Instructor Huang, was that really your kill on the mutant wolf?]

[Lin Yuanyang: (Rolls eyes) Was it you who killed it?]

[Bai Xiaotang: My God, why are the mutant wolves so thin? The specins in the museum are all stronger than this.]

[You Le: Sa question 1]

Huang Ying really didn’t want to answer these naive questions in the group, but considering these three were like delicate flowers raised in greenhouses, he patiently replied.

[Huang Ying: They’re starving.]

[Bai Xiaotang: Why?]

[Lin Yuanyang: (Big eye roll) Please have so common sense, okay? The environntal conditions in the Pollution Zone are so poor that even the plants that grow are toxic. These mutant creatures can only attack each other; many monks, not enough gruel—naturally, they’d get skinny from hunger.]

[Bai Xiaotang: Then why aren’t the museum specins this thin?]

[Huang Ying: They ate people.]

The chat suddenly fell silent.

Bai Xiaotang looked up, unable to believe it, trying to spot Huang Ying, but everyone was dressed in protective gear and gas masks, making it hard to discern who was who.

Feeling a bit down, she continued to look at the communicator.

"Beep beep beep..."

Their communicators suddenly sounded an alarm.

Everyone’s face changed.

Huang Ying imdiately said, "Xiao Kong, Ah Si, escort them to the east camp imdiately!"

The two made an OK gesture.

Huang Ying then led Ah Er and Ah Mu back to the Purification Forest West District.

The one who triggered the alarm was Ah San, who had gone to track.

***

On the other side.

Ah San was huddled inside his thick earth shell.

Praying in secret: Support, hurry up!

Damn it, I was so careless...

Thought those three forest guards were easy pickings, but unexpectedly, there were two eighth-tier superpower users nearby, monitoring discreetly.

Though he was seventh-tier, the earth ability had good defense, and since this area was full of earth, he could hold out for a while until reinforcents ca.

The eighth-tier superpower users besieging him had difficult expressions, exchanged glances, eyes full of resolve.

This person cannot be left alive!

One was gold ability, the other fire ability, deciding to use their powers to drain him.

The eighth-tier gold ability user kept reinforcing the tal blade in his hand with powers, while the fire ability user surrounded Ah San’s "turtle shell" with flas, attempting to roast him out.

With the outside heat increasing, Ah San inside the earth shell was already drenched in sweat, skin growing redder, veins popping up, and about to reach his limit.

"Stop—"

A familiar male voice suddenly rang out.

Ah San was so excited he was about to cry, shouting, "Second Brother."

The earth shell on his body puffed outward, extinguishing a layer of blazing fla.

The fire ability user simultaneously suffered a powerful spiritual attack on his brain.

He dodged quickly, looking warily at the three people rushing over.

One among them also manipulated the nearby Purification Tree seedlings to attack them.

The abundance of Purification Trees here was a domain for both wood and earth ability users.

The gold ability user’s face changed dramatically, wanting to retreat, but suddenly feeling a chill on his neck, a sharp blade already approaching.

He widened his eyes, trying hard to control the tal projectile about to slice his throat.

Seeing that the person could control tal, Huang Ying pulled a long whip from his waist, swinging it decisively towards the gold ability user.

The four coordinated seamlessly, with two attacking one, forcing the eighth-tier control system ability users to scatter frantically, almost self-destructing.

The commotion from the superpower users’ fight wasn’t small; even in a relatively remote place, it still attracted the attention of the forest guards, who imdiately contacted the base.

The nearest camp quickly dispatched 10 superpower warriors, each above the tenth-tier.

Only then were the two eighth-tier control ability users rescued.

...

Eastern defense camp.

Bai Xiaotang looked at Huang Ying and others being brought back by the warriors, almost choking on her saliva from shock.

Because of the fight, Huang Ying and the others had long taken off their protective gear, Bai Xiaotang could recognize their identities at a glance, quickly running over to intercept.

"It’s a mistake, they’re the ones I asked you to save."

The superpower warrior holding Huang Ying looked at the team captain in front, seeing him gesture, only then releasing Huang Ying and the others, though not unlocking the handcuffs.

"What are you doing?" The captain of the Superpower Team, at this ti, didn’t know their identities.

Huang Ying glanced at the two eighth-tier superpower users not far away and replied, "I am an instructor at Anhe Middle School, bringing a few kids here to plant trees. This is my work ID."

Huang Ying touched the smart brain on his wrist, releasing his work ID from Anhe Middle School.

The captain of the Superpower Team glanced at the ID, scrutinizing her suspiciously for a few monts, then looked at Ah Mu, Ah Er, and Ah San.

"What about you guys?"

"We’re their bodyguards." Ah Mu replied with a foolishly honest face, appearing very sincere.

The captain of the Superpower Team furrowed his brows.

Six superpower users bringing three kids to a semi-polluted area to plant trees?

Have the kids’ parents lost their minds?

Or is education in big cities this peculiar?

Not satisfied, the captain of the Superpower Team continued asking, "Why did you clash with them?"

Ah San, who had been silent, imdiately said, "They attacked first; we’re acting in self-defense."

"Self-defense?" The captain of the Superpower Team scoffed, glancing at the eighth-tier superpower users whose faces had been beaten beyond recognition.

With a sowhat stern tone, he said, "You call this excessive self-defense!"

Just then, Xiao Kong and Ah Si arrived with a senior officer.

The senior officer was one of the camp’s leaders, knowing the true identities of Huang Ying and the others.

"Lv Qi, co with ." The captain of the Superpower Team jogged over.

The senior officer lowered his voice, "Ensure these people return to the city safely later."

Lv Qi looked puzzled, and the senior officer added, "They are sent by the higher-ups on a mission. Don’t reveal their identities. As for those two, detain them separately and interrogate them to find out their purpose?"

"Yes—"

This ti, the group took the base’s SUV directly back to the city.

Compared to their twists and turns, Ji Ning’s side proceeded smoothly.

The group discreetly passed through the Purification Forest and boarded the train back to the city.

Xiao Shun used the communicator to ask Ji Ning whether to act on the "tail."

Ji Ning slightly shook her head.

The four acted as if they hadn’t noticed soone following them, heading straight to another small courtyard they’d rented after entering the city.

This small courtyard was initially for rapid identity cover and transfer, now serving as the group’s temporary resting place.

Standing on the second floor of the self-built house within the courtyard, Xiao Shun observed through binoculars for a while, then turned and said, "Leader, three groups have already arrived outside. They are at the three o’clock, five o’clock, and nine o’clock positions, respectively."
