Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot! Chapter 411 - 406: Designed by Me

The waste station remained in a state of disrepair.

Only the items on the right road were arranged much more neatly than those on the left.

There were indicator lights above, allowing people to see the gradually darkening road clearly.

The murderous aura Ji Ning felt last ti probably emanated from the old man leading the way ahead.

"Honored guests, please wait a mont." The old man suddenly stopped in front of a house, turned around, and respectfully spoke to Ji Ning and Huang Ying.

The exterior of the house looked like an ordinary brick house, but inside there was an elevator.

The three of them waited for five minutes before the elevator doors opened.

The old man gestured politely to the two of them, and only spoke after Ji Ning and Huang Ying had stepped into the elevator: "Honored guests, I can only escort you this far; soone will et you below."

Then, he closed the elevator door.

Huang Ying’s sense of vigilance instantly rose, alert and cautious.

The elevator did not have any buttons, not even a screen to display the floors.

If she hadn’t felt the elevator slowly descending, she would have thought the old man intended to trap them inside.

After about 5 minutes, the elevator finally stopped, and the door suddenly opened on their left.

Outside stood a man and a woman.

Both wore dust hats and matching blue worker uniforms, with identical black masks covering their faces.

Upon seeing them, they were not particularly enthusiastic, their gazes very calm, as they sidestepped to extend an arm, "Honored guests, please follow us this way."

The woman led the way in front while the man waited for them to exit the elevator, following behind Huang Ying.

Huang Ying suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if locked onto by a pair of sharp eyes.

But neither of them showed any energy fluctuations, appearing as ordinary people.

Huang Ying’s entire body entered a state of alert; any unusual movent from them would result in a lethal strike.

Everything on the journey was peaceful.

The group of four passed through a long corridor and arrived before a tal door.

Huang Ying thought it was another elevator, but when the tal door opened, she was directly stunned.

Inside, there was a gigantic underground Ferris wheel.

The opening of the tal door signified that a small compartnt on the Ferris wheel opened.

The woman pressed the red pause button on the tal door fra and invited the two to enter.

Likewise, the man and woman did not enter, strictly adhering to their roles like the old man in the waste station aboveground.

Ji Ning’s eyes flashed with surprise, taking the lead to enter while looking at the giant Ferris wheel two ters away through the small compartnt.

Once the transparent small compartnt closed its doors, the entire room slid back into place inside the Ferris wheel along the track.

Ji Ning looked up, and her vast spiritual power quickly covered the entire Ferris wheel.

There were 12 compartnts above, each occupied by soone.

Each person had entered from different entrances to get into the small compartnt, and as the Ferris wheel moved again, it would take them to different places.

As the Ferris wheel rotated, Ji Ning’s compartnt slowly ascended, and every 10 minutes, it would stop for 5 minutes, awaiting other compartnt occupants to exit or new arrivals.

But just as they were about to reach the top, their compartnt had not opened its doors again.

"The designer of this Ferris wheel must have had too much ti on their hands," Huang Ying remarked casually.

"This originally was an air-raid shelter. Due to the terrain, it could only be constructed with this rotating elevator setup,"

Huang Ying looked at her in surprise, "You know the designer?"

"Yes, I designed it."

Huang Ying: ....

She had just finished designing it, hadn’t even started construction, and then she traversed through ti.

Unexpectedly, after 120 years, she would see the finished product. Truly deserving of the You Family.

Before the chaotic era, the You Family was a noble family specializing in architecture, responsible for many large-scale infrastructures across the Hua Continent.

Later, when chaos reigned, the You Family leveraged their architectural genius to build sturdy and secure bunkers, attracting many Survivors to beco one of the 12 major powers on Hua Continent.

Many air-raid shelters and chanisms around Beijing were constructed by the You Family.

Yet 120 years later, the You Family’s influence had declined to just a lonely old lady and an underage granddaughter.

Ji Ning felt so lantation in her heart.

"Ding——"

The Ferris wheel elevator stopped again, and their compartnt finally reached its destination.

Sliding outwards similarly, they connected successfully with a tal door in the mountain’s side, the tal door opened first, followed by the compartnt door.

Once Ji Ning and Huang Ying safely left the compartnt, both doors automatically closed.

Huang Ying raised her wrist to check the ti. From when they descended underground, an hour had passed.

And they still hadn’t arrived at their destination.

"Honored guests, please follow us,"

At the entrance, there were likewise two guides waiting.

This ti, they were identical twin won.

They were very beautiful but expressionless, their hair ticulously tied, appearing sowhat aloof.

One in front, one behind, they sandwiched Ji Ning and Huang Ying in between.

They didn’t walk for long before arriving at another elevator.

The two guides entered the elevator and pressed the bottommost button next to the door.

Huang Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief; finally, a normal elevator.

This elevator was still descending, although the descent ti was rather long.

Huang Ying silently counted numbers in her heart, counting over 1000 before it stopped.

"Honored guests, the Colonel is inside, please enter—"

The two no longer moved forward, only providing directions.

Indicating the room not far ahead, the two did not have the clearance to enter.

Ji Ning pursed her lips slightly, her pupils constricted.

Inside the room ahead, there was also a device suppressing spiritual power.

Much like the situation encountered previously at the research institute.

"Be careful after entering," Ji Ning softly reminded.

Huang Ying’s expression turned serious, her fingers touched the weapon at her waist.

They cautiously approached the tal door, which still opened automatically.

Inside was a typical office, spacious yet devoid of any people.

Huang Ying was about to speak when a cara on the wall suddenly rotated, projecting a beam of light.

Soon after, a virtual image appeared behind the desk.

The image was of a handso man.

Ji Ning felt he looked very familiar, as if she had seen him sowhere before.

"Honored guests, welco to your arrival, please have a seat."

The man gestured towards the sofa in front of the desk invitingly.

Seeing Ji Ning had already walked over to sit, Huang Ying remained unmoved, standing vigilantly at the door.

The man smiled at her briefly, then turned to Ji Ning, asking kindly, "May I ask where did the token on your neck co from?"

Ji Ning glanced down at the wooden stamp hanging from her chest, a glint of realization in her eyes, she replied coolly, "A friend gave it to ."

"May I ask if this friend’s surna is You?"

"No."

The man’s expression stiffened, and his gaze toward Ji Ning shifted from amiable to scrutinizing, "Honored guest, who gave you the token?"

"An old lady with the surna Zhao."

The man’s face showed so surprise, followed by a hint of confusion, hesitantly stating a na: "Zhao Linghua?"

Ji Ning smiled faintly, "You still rember her?"

The man’s expression shifted to a kind of reminiscence, "Of course, she is my wife. How is she doing now?"

"She lost her husband early, her son in middle age, now she relies on her underage granddaughter."
