Chapter 543: Apocalypse: The True Daughter of Wealth Turns to Ashes (14)

When Luo Ning saw Shen Yan, her mind was consumed by a single thought and impulse: to rush toward him.

This empathy with her original self also sparked a sense of closeness and guilt toward Shen Yan.

In her past life, her brother would not have died if not for her original self.

That’s why her original self was so distressed; her first and most important wish was to protect her brother this time from dying again, and to help him live without regrets.

"Brother!" Luo Ning couldn’t hold back her tears.

Although they were not blood siblings, their affection was even stronger than that of biological ones.

Shen Yan hugged his sister, then patted her head, "Ningning, I’ve come to pick you up."

Luo Ning then emerged from his embrace, her eyes red as she said, "I was just here waiting for Brother."

She clung to the corner of Shen Yan’s clothes, her voice carrying a mix of grievance and dependence, "Brother, don’t leave me behind on my own this time, alright?"

In those days, Shen Yan had secretly left to ensure her original self could live well.

Therefore, her original self never resented him, even when she faced severe cold violence in the Luo Family; she just wanted to see her brother again.

Especially when abandoned at the entrance of a supermarket, feeling lonely and helpless, her brother suddenly appeared, like a savior in her original self’s eyes.

Shen Yan’s eyes also reddened slightly; he patted Luo Ning’s head again, "Not this time, Brother will never leave you alone again."

After learning about Luo Ning’s background, he was very reluctant to leave his sister.

But he also knew that by going to a prominent family like the Luo Family, his sister could receive better development and life in various aspects.

Originally, he wanted to follow her to S City, not to take advantage of the Luo Family, but to find a job, settle down, and look after his sister a bit.

However, a butler privately approached him, indicating that the best thing for his sister was for him to leave; otherwise, the parents and elder brothers of the Luo Family might feel uncomfortable.

This forced him to make the hard decision to secretly leave.

The apocalypse came, and he worried about his sister, so he hurried over.

Yesterday, he unintentionally saved a young lady from the same elite circle as the Luo Family, and from her, he learned that his sister’s days in the Luo Family were not easy.

Despite being biological, she was treated worse than those who were not, bullied by her own brothers, and eventually forced to sever ties with the Luo Family.

He then hurried to the Luo Family, wanting to find out where his sister had moved.

Unexpectedly, he found his sister waiting here for him.

While he felt guilty, he was also very happy and excited; thankfully, he hadn’t lost his sister.

In this world, his sister was his only relative, much like how they had relied on each other for over a decade; he planned to take good care of her during the apocalypse.

"Then I’ll come with you," Luo Ning said, holding on to his clothing.

Shen Yan smiled and responded, "Of course, I came especially to pick you up this time."

Luo Ning wiped away her tears and showed a bright smile, "I knew Brother wouldn’t leave me behind."

She pointed to the off-road vehicle ahead, "That’s my car, let’s go."

Shen Yan followed her gaze, though surprised at how his sister could possess such a fine military vehicle, he didn’t ask further.

However, his expression turned cold when he noticed the Luo Brothers standing next to the vehicle.

"Alright, I’ll take you away," Shen Yan nodded and led Luo Ning toward the car.

The Luo Brothers had always known about the existence of Shen Yan, but had never met him in person; they had only seen his photos with Luo Ning.

Now, seeing Shen Yan coming for Luo Ning, they felt somewhat uneasy.

Shen Yan walked up to the group, his voice cold, "When your butler came to pick up Ningning, he said that your family would take good care of her. I never imagined you would torment her to the point of severing ties and leaving home."

"If I had known this would happen, even at the cost of poverty, I would never have let Ningning return to the Luo Family." He truly believed this.

Whenever he thought of his sister’s experience at the Luo Family, it pained and distressed him.

Facing Shen Yan, the Luo Brothers did not have much confidence, as the other party was stating the facts.

Eldest Luo awkwardly smiled, "There seem to be some misunderstandings here."

Shen Yan did not want to say more, fearing it would bring up unpleasant memories for his sister.

"There’s no need for explanations. Since Ningning has severed ties with you, I will take her away today."

Eldest Luo frowned, "Where are you planning to take her?"

"We have reliable information that city S can no longer hold out and is about to fall, so the military is organizing an evacuation."

"Tomorrow, we are heading to the Kyoto Base and are planning to take Ningning with us."

"Of course, you are welcome to join us," he added.

Ningning had returned on her own, and they couldn’t just watch her wander outside.

Shen Yan shook his head, "No need, even if we go to the Kyoto Base, I will take Ningning myself, there’s no need to trouble your family."

Ningning also said, "I’m following my brother, no need for you to worry."

Eldest Luo didn’t know what to say.

Third Luo was visibly annoyed, "Getting to the Kyoto Base isn’t as easy as you say. If you don’t come with us, you might regret it."

Ningning shot him a look, "We will definitely not regret it. It’s you who might regret going with us, I don’t want to endure your mistreatments anymore."

"You!" Third Luo was choked up.

Shen Yan coldly said, "I have also made contact on my end, and tomorrow will follow the military escort to the Kyoto Base."

Third Luo was somewhat surprised at where Shen Yan got his connections, he snorted, "Suit yourselves."

Seeing that both Shen Yan and Ningning were resolute, Eldest Luo could only sigh helplessly, "Alright, if you need anything, you can come to me or my father."

The departure to the Kyoto Base tomorrow wasn’t just their family’s decision, but that of the military.

Twenty days since the apocalypse started, the situation was growing more dire, and nation-wide, five major survivor bases had been established in Kyoto, Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest.

City S was relatively closer to the Southeast and Southwest bases, yet the Kyoto Base was now the largest and most important, so the military would divide into three groups to escort City S’s survivors to these three bases.

Only those with connections, resources, or special talents would be assigned to the northbound group headed for the Kyoto Base.

Since Shen Yan had connections, Eldest Luo did not press further.

After all, they would all be in the same group eventually, and if Ningning needed care, they would help then.

Shen Yan coldly nodded, "Then, we will take our leave."

He got into the passenger seat, and Ningning took the driver’s seat.

Then, from the car, she handed an envelope to Eldest Luo.

"This is something I’ve found. You should take it back and review it with Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo to prevent being deceived in the future. This is the last considerate service I’m offering to the Luo Family."

Ningning emphasized with a smile, "It’s really important, make sure you read it."

For some reason, hearing her words, Luo Baomiao felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

She didn’t know what was in that envelope, but she felt it might concern her.
