Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 315 - 310: The Control System Is Just That Powerful
Ye Xingming saw Ji Ning hadn’t moved and explained again, "The disinfection lamp can react with some metals, causing a heat effect. I’m afraid it might harm you. Previously, a researcher got injured because they were wearing earrings. For your safety, I suggest taking off your earrings. There’s a locked cabinet here to store your belongings."
Xiao Shun, who rushed over, suddenly saw his team leader’s lips curve slightly and reply with a "fine."
Though smiling, he always had a feeling of his hair standing on end.
Ye Xingming watched as Ji Ning took off the earrings from her earlobes and obediently put them into a safe, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
The three of them put on protective suits, covering their bodies entirely before heading to the disinfection area ahead.
On the other side, a researcher in a glass room saw they were ready and pressed the disinfection button.
The lights in the room instantly changed from white to alternating purple and red lights.
Xiao Shun felt a bit hot from the lamp and wasn’t sure if it was psychological.
Fortunately, this feeling lasted only a few minutes and then disappeared.
Soon after, many cold sprays of disinfectant suddenly emerged from the walls, hitting them through the protective suits, feeling very uncomfortable.
The spray frequency and angles of the liquid were constantly changing, as if trying to disinfect all over their bodies.
After the disinfectant spray finished, the room lit up with a red light again. This time the heat sensation was even higher than before, making them feel like they were in a heating microwave, sweating a thin layer.
Just as Xiao Shun felt dry and wanted to drink water, the lights suddenly went out.
A "beep—beep—" sound rang in their ears.
"Alright, we can leave now." Ye Xingming said to the two after the door on the other side of the disinfection area opened.
The other door of the disinfection area led straight to the glass room they saw when they entered, with only one passage.
This glass room was a transition room, with nothing inside except for a door leading to the experiment area at the front.
Once the three entered, they suddenly felt a chill.
The temperature in this room was very low, causing an involuntary shiver.
Ye Xingming quickly walked to the experiment area door, raised his arm, and swiped the Smart Brain on his wrist through the protective suit.
Xiao Shun saw this and couldn’t help but glance at the cabinet outside the disinfection area, pursing his lips.
"Mine is a special metal and won’t be affected by the disinfection lamp." Ye Xingming, without turning around, seemed to see through Xiao Shun’s intentions and said something, scaring him into quickly turning his head.
As the experiment area door lock opened, Ye Xingming turned to introduce Ji Ning.
"Our experiment area is divided into several levels; this is the C-level experiment area, requiring the most basic sterile environment."
Ji Ning nodded slightly.
Entering from the door, the experiment area was a completely different world inside.
Not only was the space large, but there were also small labs partitioned with special glass on the side, with lab technicians busy inside their isolation suits.
Ye Xingming didn’t let Ji Ning stay here long and led them onward until they left this region.
After passing through a heavy door, they stopped.
Inside were four medical staff in surgical attire.
They immediately came over, helping them remove the hoods from their protective suits and handed over surgical caps to cover their hair.
"How is the patient’s condition?" Ye Xingming removed the protective gloves from his hands and washed them carefully in a nearby sink.
One of the doctors said, "The patient’s condition isn’t good. A 1ml injection of CH3 was given, but it wasn’t very effective. Most of the internal organs are beginning to fail..."
Ye Xingming nodded slightly after cleaning his hands, took a pair of gloves from a clean box nearby, and quickly put them on.
Turning to wait for Ji Ning and Xiao Shun.
The doctor looked at them in surprise and asked, "Teacher, they are..."
"They are Security Bureau detectives." Ye Xingming didn’t hide and focused on introducing Ji Ning, "This is Ji Ning, who previously helped us treat Sun Liguo."
The doctor immediately recognized Ji Ning’s identity, and his expression became slightly awkward and unnatural, clearly having heard of Ji Ning’s reputation.
The group quickly reached the emergency room to see a man from the Outer Continent, looking around his forties, lying on the emergency table.
His hair was half yellow and half white, with a sallow complexion, and his skin from neck down had rare age spots, seeming to wrinkle and become slack.
Ye Xingming walked to the man’s side, lifted his hand, and looked at his pupils.
Then he used a stethoscope to listen to the man’s internal organs, his expression very serious.
"Detective Ji, have a look."
Ye Xingming turned aside, making room, as Ji Ning stepped forward, her right palm spread open, hovering over the man’s abdomen.
Xiao Shun widened his eyes in surprise, seeing a nearly transparent white light emanate from his team leader’s palm, covering a small area over the man’s stomach.
He had seen Healing Ability Users use their superpowers but they always touched the wound directly, unlike Ji Ning, who could use superpowers from a distance.
The Control System is incredible...
Envy flashed in Xiao Shun’s eyes. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Ji Ning swept the man’s organs with her superpowers and, as the doctor said, all organs were failing; once they stopped functioning, the man’s death was near.
Ji Ning was about to retract her superpowers when she suddenly noticed a faint birthmark on the back of his right hand.
Her pupils dilated instantly.
Ji Ning raised the man’s right arm, finally seeing the almost invisible birthmark.
This is...
Ji Ning’s brows gradually furrowed, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Leader, is there a problem with him?" Xiao Shun inquired.
Ji Ning released the man’s shoulder and calmly looked at Ye Xingming, uttering two words: "No problem."
Ye Xingming appeared unaware of her peculiarity and asked, "Detective Ji, do you think there’s any chance for him?"
Ji Ning withdrew her hand, chuckling softly, "A man who should have died long ago is beyond salvation."
Ye Xingming’s eyes reflected surprise, "Detective Ji, what do you mean? Does his body have some problem?"
"You don’t know?" Ji Ning retorted.
Ye Xingming furrowed his brows, glanced at the student beside him, and gestured to Ji Ning, "Detective Ji, let’s talk outside."
The two walked one after the other to the preparation room next to the operating room.
"Ji Ning, what did you mean earlier? Does his body have a problem?"
Ye Xingming’s face held confusion as Ji Ning countered, "Who is he? Which continent is he from?"
"Steven Bart, from Jiazhou’s Bart family. Previously a researcher in an S-Class lab at the institute."
The Bart family?
Ji Ning was somewhat surprised.
"When did these symptoms first appear?"
"A month ago."
The timing matched.
This was the man who had a sudden emergency on the plane when she accompanied Bai Xiaotang to Beijing for Bai Yusen’s birthday.
At the time, her spiritual power swept through his body, and the organs were already showing signs of failure, logically speaking, he should have died long ago. Unexpectedly, he survived until now.
Moreover, the speed of organ failure was abnormal, as if there was another energy inside his body rekindling his vitality.
It was like the organs were deteriorating yet rapidly repairing simultaneously.
The decline and repair, reaching a delicate balance.
"Is he a Healing Ability User?" Ji Ning asked.
