Chapter 555: Apocalypse: The True Daughter Turns to Ashes (26)

Yu Wei had someone skin the wolves.

These wolves were mutants, two to three times the size of normal wolves, so their pelts were quite large.

By winter, these wolf pelts would definitely be useful.

He then walked up to Luo Baomiao, his eyes cold as he stared at her, "How did you bring these wolves here?"

Luo Baomiao’s eyes were red, her face somewhat pale, "I didn’t, I didn’t bring the wolves here."

"I was just feeling upset and wanted to take a walk nearby to clear my mind when I suddenly saw several pairs of wolf eyes in the darkness."

"I was afraid they would attack everyone, so I called out."

"Then they started attacking me, and I called for help."

Earlier, Luo Baomiao had already organized her thoughts, having decided how to explain herself.

Though it was her wandering off that made the wolves follow her scent, she knew people here would definitely blame her if she said that.

But swapping the concept was a different matter entirely.

She was the first to notice the wolves planning an ambush on everyone, but she warned everyone for their own good.

Hearing her say this, many who had been looking at Luo Baomiao with ill will withdrew their anger.

If it were true, then they would have to thank her.

Otherwise, if everyone was asleep in the middle of the night when the mutant wolves suddenly attacked, there would definitely be casualties.

Yu Wei looked at Luo Baomiao with a skeptical eye, "Are you sure you didn’t lead them here?"

Luo Baomiao immediately shook her head, "No."

Luo Ning watched Luo Baomiao, who didn’t seem guilty at all, and thought to herself that she truly was the protagonist with Luck from that era, her mental resilience unmatched by ordinary people.

She took out a long-range flashlight from her space and shone it on the ground in the distance sweeping it around.

Finally, it stopped on a spot, and she said, "But why do your footprints come from so far away, closely followed by wolf prints?"

The nearby area was a road, and because vehicles were rarer and wind swept sand across it after the apocalypse, a layer of sand covered the road.

Any movement on it would leave footprints.

It was clear this woman had led the wolves here and almost caused harm to everyone, yet it turned out to be her merit, and everyone had to thank her.

Luo Ning was not about to let Luo Baomiao whitewash her actions.

As people looked from the distant footprints of her and the wolves approaching this side, their gazes toward Luo Baomiao changed again.

Luo Baomiao’s face changed slightly, cursing Luo Ning in her heart; the woman was too annoying, always opposing her.

"I earlier saw something that looked like green fire in the distance, braved the fear and went to check, then realized it was wolves, and ran back to warn you all."

"Believe it or not, it’s up to you, but I didn’t bring the wolves here," she said with a face full of wrongful grievance.

It was indeed a possibility.

But after previous incidents and Luo Ning’s revelation, few believed her.

At the same time, most people there began to dislike Luo Baomiao even more.

"Don’t wander off recklessly anymore, it’s dangerous everywhere at night," Yu Wei warned Luo Baomiao.

Luo Baomiao nodded, "Okay."

She had been nearly scared to death just now; if these people had been a bit slower, she would have been wolf fodder, naturally, she wouldn’t wander off again.

Then she walked over to where the Luo family was standing, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Dad, Mom, brother, I won’t wander off again, I was so scared just now," she said, looking pitiful.

If it had been before Luo Ning gifted that present, Mother Luo would have already embraced her to offer comfort, and the others would certainly have comforted her sympathetically.

Though she was also concerned about Luo Baomiao’s safety, she felt somewhat listless about comforting her.

Mother Luo stiffly said, "It’s good that nothing happened!"

That was supposed to be comforting.

The others showed similar reactions.

Only Third Luo showed a pained expression, asking with concern, "Jiaojiao, are you alright?"

Luo Baomiao felt incredibly aggrieved. The reason she had run out crying just now was that she hoped her brothers would chase after her and coax her as usual.

But she had gone quite a distance, and they hadn’t come after her, which made her feel even more angry and upset.

Just now, she had barely escaped danger, and the consolation from her parents and older brothers felt so perfunctory.

Previously always at her beck and call, Fifth Luo didn’t even offer comforting words but instead looked at her with a complicated gaze.

It was as if he doubted the truth of her words just now, which made her even angrier.

Now, hearing the concern from Third Luo, her feelings of grievance intensified.

She threw herself into Third Luo’s arms, "Third brother, I’m not hurt, but it was really scary just now, I almost got eaten by a wolf."

Third Luo held her tightly, comforting her, "Don’t be afraid, we are here now, it’s good that nothing happened."

Luo Ning watched the siblings’ close interactions with a somewhat playful look.

In her former life, Luo Baomiao’s fiancé had died in an accident, which almost implicated Luo Baomiao as well.

The family of the deceased son even had to apologize to Luo Baomiao.

A year later, Luo Baomiao and Eldest Luo announced they were together.

Luo Ning had discovered previously that Luo Baomiao had a different kind of affection for Eldest Luo, often acting coquettishly and not quite like a sister, but rather like a lover.

Eldest Luo’s attitude towards Luo Baomiao before the apocalypse, though doting, was still like that toward a sister.

But after the apocalypse, the two ended up together, and Luo Ning didn’t believe there was nothing engineered by Luo Baomiao in between.

Before the apocalypse, Eldest Luo was a top executive, and after the apocalypse, he climbed even higher within the Kyoto Base, with notable capabilities and intelligence.

Now that he noticed Luo Baomiao might be duplicitous, his attitude was no longer as indulgent as before and even became somewhat distant.

With Luo Baomiao’s intelligence, she must have noticed. So it’s difficult to get close to Eldest Luo, hence she shifted her attention to Third Luo?

Indeed, Third Luo was the brother who doted on Luo Baomiao the most, otherwise, he wouldn’t target and dislike Luo Ning, his own sister, so much.

However, Third Luo didn’t possess Eldest Luo’s intelligence and abilities to climb to a high position.

In that life, Third Luo’s greatest achievement was organizing a team comprised entirely of superpower users, carving out a significant reputation during the apocalypse.

But that success was also because he had the Luo Family and Mother Luo’s family backgrounds as a support. Otherwise, would those superpower users really follow his commands? What a joke.

Luo Ning suddenly felt somewhat eager, wondering whom Luo Baomiao would choose between her ex-fiancé and Third Luo after arriving at the Kyoto Base.

She would enjoy watching this drama unfold.

"Luo Ning, since you exerted so much effort killing the wolf, this alpha wolf’s pelt is your spoils of war."

Yu Wei’s words brought Luo Ning back to the present.

Looking at the large wolf pelt on the ground, she smiled and said, "Okay!"

From her memory, a month after the apocalypse began, the weather had also started mutating; summers were suffocatingly hot, and winters just as stiflingly cold.

This high-quality wolf pelt was a good item for warmth when winter came.

Since she had exerted the effort, it was hers to claim, and she wouldn’t be polite.

People like Yu Wei appreciated straightforward personalities.

Thus, Luo Ning’s impression on them improved even more.
