Chapter 540: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (11)

Luo Ning rented a small farmhouse and was ready to test the well water in the "space."

She bought a batch of poultry, dividing it into two groups; one group was fed water from the space well every day, while the other received only ordinary water.

Luo Ning had tried, and found that no living creatures could stay in the "space," but it did have a preserving effect—whatever was placed inside came out unchanged.

Thus, she bought apocalypse-era poultry, which were slaughtered on-site and then stored in the space.

A week later, Luo Ning clearly noticed that the poultry fed with space well water were more lively and robust, and noticeably larger than those that did not drink it.

Then, Luo Ning slaughtered the poultry that had been fed the well water, spending money to have someone help with the laboratory tests.

The results showed that these poultry had a nutritional value several times higher than that of ordinary poultry, and their meat was much more tender.

This result indicated that the space well water was non-toxic and contained substances beneficial to the body.

Luo Ning then began to feed the space well water to the other batch of poultry.

She also hired two local farm women to help with feeding and cleaning the yard.

Luo Ning bought some vegetable seeds to experiment with the well water.

She discovered that the seeds irrigated with well water germinated and grew very quickly, about ten times faster than those watered with ordinary water.

This meant that vegetables that normally matured in ten months could mature in just one month if watered with well water.

This reminded Luo Ning of how Kyoto Base had praised Luo Baomiao, saying her Wood Element Superpower was a mutation that greatly accelerated plant growth.

The vegetables and grains grown were even better tasting than those before the apocalypse.

Kyoto Base had even allocated a large piece of land for Luo Baomiao to farm, where she supported many people at the base with her efforts alone.

Of course, she mainly supported those who were useful to Luo Baomiao, resulting in deep ties between her and the leaders of several major forces.

Therefore, Luo Baomiao had a good reputation in Kyoto Base.

Seeing the quick growth of the Chinese cabbages watered with well water, which matured in just four days, Luo Ning understood how Luo Baomiao’s so-called mutated Wood Element Superpower had come into being.

The other party must have truly awakened the Wood Element Superpower and then used the space well water to mimic the effects of a mutated superpower.

Thus, Luo Ning suspected that her own and her brother’s deaths might be related to Luo Baomiao, the little thief.

After all, the pendant had been obtained by her original body’s brother and given to her original self.

Luo Baomiao, capitalizing on both the materials collected through the pendant and her fame from the well water, must have been fearful that Luo Ning and her brother would discover her secret.

So, by getting rid of them both, she could eliminate potential threats.

This thought resonated with Luo Ning’s original self, which also suggested that their deaths were likely related to Luo Baomiao.

However, it was unclear whether any of the Luo brothers were involved.

Luo Ning did not plant her own grains and vegetables as she did not have much time and energy for it.

But she did go to the agricultural station and bought many high-quality grains, medicinal herbs, vegetables, fruits, and some useful seeds.

Then she continued driving to procure supplies, focusing especially on medicines and herbal ingredients.

She conducted her purchases both online and at wholesale markets.

She also reviewed online guides.

She purchased backpacks, tents, trekking boots, lighters, flint, detailed national maps, compasses, flashlights, candles, water purification tablets, warm and moisture-proof clothing, aluminum meal boxes (which could also be used to boil water or cook), Swiss army knives, machetes, portable radios, binoculars, and so forth—completing her entire list.

She also collected a lot of gasoline, enough to keep her car running for several years if necessary.

She stored large quantities of both bottled mineral water and regular tap water.

Though one million seemed like a lot, her funds quickly dwindled with such bulk purchases.

While Luo Ning was preparing to set up her stall on the overpass for a few more days, Qin Xinyue called her.

Not only did she thank Luo Ning for her help, but she also introduced her to two clients.

Luo Ning had gone over to help and perfectly resolved the issues of two customers, again receiving a reward of two million.

Then, Luo Ning asked Qin Xinyue to help buy a military off-road vehicle.

The medicine Luo Ning gave to Mr. Qin worked very well but only for his previous condition.

So, she went to give Mr. Qin another check-up and readjusted the Strengthening the Foundation prescription.

Qin Xinyue directly gave Luo Ning a fully equipped off-road vehicle as a reward.

Luo Ning noticed that Lu Cong was no longer with Qin Xinyue, indicating that Mr. Qin had resolved her issues, and this reward might also be related to that matter.

Therefore, she accepted it with a clear conscience.

Luo Ning then sent the off-road vehicle to be modified.

A few days later, Qin Xinyue and Mr. Qin returned to the Imperial Capital and even invited Luo Ning to leave with them, clearly having discovered Luo Ning’s identity.

However, Luo Ning declined, as she still needed to stay in City S waiting for her brothers.

But the two of them kept in touch until the apocalypse, evolving from an employer-employee relationship to becoming friends who talked quite comfortably.

While Luo Ning was busy collecting supplies in preparation for the apocalypse, the Luo Family members were very unaccustomed recently.

Lady Luo asked Second Luo, "Have you found Luo Ning’s whereabouts?"

Since Luo Ning had left, she had gone from being initially angry to now feeling unwell.

When Luo Ning was around, she often voluntarily massaged her shoulders and made her favorite foods.

When sick, Luo Ning would stay by her side, preparing anything she needed the moment she felt thirsty or hungry.

Initially, she thought Luo Ning was only trying to gain the Luo Family’s resources and favor, which made her put in every effort to please her.

It didn’t feel like much at the time, but slowly she had gotten used to having such a considerate daughter around.

But now that Luo Ning had left, wanting nothing from the Luo Family,

it made Mother Luo reflect and feel that she had misunderstood her intentions before.

Luo Ning’s care and concern might not have been for gaining favor, but genuine love from a daughter to her mother.

Especially since Luo Ning’s departure, she realized how unaccustomed she was and started to continuously recall all the good things about Luo Ning.

Although Father Luo didn’t feel it as deeply, he too found it hard to adjust, so they instructed their second son to check on their daughter’s current situation.

Second Luo said, "I’ve found her, she left the hotel and rented a farmhouse in the suburbs."

"And she’s struck up a relationship with Miss Qin from the Imperial Capital, spending everyday driving out for trips."

Mother Luo asked in confusion, "Where does she get the money?"

Second Luo replied, "I heard she did a big favor for Miss Qin and received quite a reward."

Not only Father Luo and Mother Luo found it hard to adjust, actually all the Luo brothers did as well.

When Luo Ning used to cozy up to them, offering care and concern, they were somewhat annoyed, feeling she had ulterior motives and was trying to replace Luo Baomiao.

Now, Luo Ning, having left without taking anything from the Luo Family and showing no reluctance, they slowly started to feel they might have truly misunderstood her before.

"Whenever you have time, go and see her," Mother Luo instructed, subconsciously wanting to persuade her to come back.

After all, she was their own flesh and blood.

Since they couldn’t wait for her to admit her wrongs and come back on her own, they wanted their son to find an opportunity to bring her back.

Second Luo nodded, "Okay!"

Afterwards, Eldest Luo, Second Luo, and Fifth Luo all went to find Luo Ning, but either they didn’t meet her or she intentionally avoided them.

And just like that, half a year flew by.

That night, the sky suddenly began to pour down widespread acid rain across the globe.

Luo Ning stood at the window, watching the light rain outside, her mind filled with thoughts of the impending apocalypse.
