Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 275 - 270: More Troublesome Than Expected!
The attack has begun.
Ji Ning stood by the stairs, waited a moment, and continued to walk upwards.
The gunfire grew denser, and the shouts for fights and kills grew louder.
The crew on Huang Liu’s ship, as if receiving a signal, began rushing into the cabin.
Some were climbing up the stairs, others were scaling from the outside.
The dense crowd was like a cauldron exploding, madly rushing into the cabin.
Ji Ning was now standing at the top of the cargo ship’s cabin.
The entire ship was under her spiritual power coverage, and she could clearly sense anything happening inside the cabin.
She sensed the superpower user Lao Er’s shoulder hit by a bullet, hiding behind Lao Da, using Spiritual Ability to attack.
Lao Da was a Wood Element Ability user, but in the vast ocean, his powers could only be exerted to a third of their strength.
Meanwhile, this was instead Ji Hong’s realm, her Water Ability was at ease here, yet she didn’t massacre, only using her powers to knock out the crew attacking her.
Ji Ning did not believe she was so kind-hearted; she only wanted to negotiate with Huang Liu.
The cabin was limited in space, the three dealing with these armed crew were still evenly matched, but Lao San and Lao Si on the first level were unfortunate.
The frenzied crowd charged them fearlessly; both were Defensive Superpower Users who could barely defend using their powers, but were already injured.
Lao Er demanded Ji Hong to rescue the two underlings on the first level.
Ji Hong finally revealed her true colors, "If you want me to save them, become my underlings."
"Impossible, choose another condition." Lao Da was very clear-headed, knowing if he agreed with Ji Hong, he’d end up miserable.
Ji Ning would definitely not let them go.
"Fine, I want this ship," Ji Hong said domineeringly, simultaneously using water as a knife to slice off Huang Liu’s little finger.
"Ah——"
Huang Liu’s scream made the nearby crew ready to save him dare not attack anymore.
Ji Hong’s voice, aided by her second superpower, Wind Ability, echoed in every crew member’s ears on the ship.
"If you don’t want mutual destruction, stop immediately!"
This voice was too penetrating, finally restoring some sanity to everyone.
"Brothers, don’t let them scare us. We’re so many, why fear..."
"Ah! Look outside——"
"Oh my god, Water Absorption Dragon——"
"Ah——we’re doomed! We’re going to die!"
Someone’s shout caused the crowd to look, seeing not far from the cargo ship, a swirling water column appeared, like a sea dragon rising into the sky.
This was a tornado on the sea, capable of sucking ships and seawater into the sky, extremely dangerous, a nightmare for everyone on the sea route.
As everyone fearfully knelt on the ground, the voice came again, "Those not wishing to die, submit to me!"
Ji Ning watched the wavering "Water Absorption Dragon" on the sea, her face darkening.
This woman turned out to be a Multi-system Superpower User, and each ability level had reached at least the 10th Rank.
More troublesome than imagined!
Ji Ning hid herself in the cabin’s dead corner, quietly waiting for Ji Hong’s next move.
Huang Liu’s people were thoroughly frightened by Ji Hong’s "Water Absorption Dragon," halting their steps and not daring to move.
The crew who broke into the cabin were also scared into surrendering, dropping their weapons.
Lao Da and Lao Er looked very complicated, their anxiety towards Ji Hong getting deeper.
Ji Hong now did not wish for a slaughter, only wanted to subjugate everyone on the ship, allowing her to survive better in this era.
She slowly walked to the agonizing Huang Liu, calmly said, "Submit to me, and I’ll heal your severed finger, otherwise the next cut is to your neck."
Huang Liu daren’t think of anything else now, only wishing to survive, kneeling to beg for mercy.
Ji Hong then gave him simple treatment.
Under Ji Hong’s tough measures, the disturbance on the ship gradually subsided.
The crew returned to their respective positions to continue working.
Only Huang Liu and the crew on another ship trembled as they looked at the demoness opposite.
Lao Da finished bandaging the three underlings’ wounds, sat on the other side of the deck, silently watching Ji Hong deal with these people.
Lao San pressed his transmitter again, still no response, angrily said to Lao Da, "Boss, those people don’t care about our lives. We’re just their cannon fodder. How about we also take the opportunity..."
Lao Er, injured, hurriedly raised his hand to slap him, but pulled his wound, inhaling sharply in pain.
Secretly thinking, that one mustn’t hear this.
He and Lao Da had seen Ji Ning’s mark left in the cabin.
She was already on board, just didn’t know why she hadn’t yet appeared to stop Ji Hong from recruiting people.
"Hiss——shut up you!"
Lao San, unconvinced, angrily said, "Second brother, see our injuries, if not for Ji Hong, we’d be dead or severely injured."
"You can’t be her henchmen either. Boss hardly fought a way out for us, we mustn’t retreat. Do you want to be fugitives forever?"
Lao Er’s voice was a bit loud, attracting Ji Hong’s attention.
Ji Hong coldly laughed inwardly, looking at the sycophantic Huang Liu in front, highly disdained.
Not very capable, but ambitious.
Don’t be fooled by his flattering now, the moment she faced those four, he’d absolutely strike viciously from behind.
People like Huang Liu, with small and venomous minds, flexible yet treacherous, purely a villain.
Thus, she dared not force those four, only wanted the people of this ship.
"Where are you headed now?" Ji Hong sat on the chair, calmly asked.
Huang Liu hunched over, grinning, "We’re on a route, destination is West Continent’s Gadis Port. We’ll stop at several ports for supplies en route."
Ji Hong didn’t know what a route was, but couldn’t ask, so asked, "What are you transporting?"
"Shoes, leather clothing, export leather goods. Here’s the cargo list." Huang Liu handed a blue folder eagerly to Ji Hong.
Inside was their official cargo manifest for this trip.
Ji Hong flipped through the list, glanced up at him, saw Huang Liu lower his head alertly, coldly laughed inwardly.
Even now dares to play tricks.
"That’s all?"
Huang Liu felt a tightening, adjusted his emotions, smilingly asked, "Yes, that’s it, ma’am, if you have goods to transport, we have room on the ship."
Ji Hong’s expression instantly vanished, a water ball in her fingers like a stone from a slingshot, swiftly hit Huang Liu’s chest.
"Ouch..."
Huang Liu felt like hit by a boulder, the chest burned fiercely.
A mouthful of blood surged upwards.
Fearfully widened his eyes, body trembling.
The surrounding crew had already retreated several steps, afraid of receiving the same treatment from Ji Hong.
"Do I look easily deceived?"
Ji Hong’s palm conjured another water ball, as large as a football.
Huang Liu clutched his chest, writhing on the deck, mouth opening and closing, but couldn’t utter a sound.
Ji Hong snorted coldly, gazed at his subordinates.
These people dared not speak, all bowed their heads, bodies shrank back.
Not one useful, incomparable to her former underlings.
Ji Hong thought, suppressing anger within.
"I’ll give you five minutes, tell me everything you know..."
Just as the words were spoken, from the deck’s corner, a working crew member ran out, pointed at Huang Liu’s nose, cursed, "Boss lady, I know the business this brat has been secretly doing!"
