Chapter 556: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (27)

After tucking away the wolf skin, Luo Ning took out a paper parcel from her space and handed it to Yu Wei.

"These medicine powders can mask the scent of blood. Have your people sprinkle them around the area, and it’ll prevent other wild beasts from coming close tonight."

In the apocalypse, the scent of blood could attract not only mutant wild beasts but also likely zombies, so she had prepared many portions of these items in advance.

Yu Wei was taken aback as he received the parcel, "You have thought of everything."

Even having medicine powders like these ready, impressive!

Then, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Luo Ning, "Do you have any hemostatic anti-inflammatory medicine or something of the kind?"

During the recent struggle with the wolf, one of the soldiers got scratched, and now his arm was bleeding nonstop and had started to swell.

Luo Ning nodded, "I was just about to mention that. I’ve brought medicines and can help dress your man’s wound."

She had bought a lot of medicinal materials before the apocalypse, including a large quantity of Western medicine, especially anti-inflammatory drugs.

Yu Wei’s eyes shone even brighter, tentatively asking, "Do you also understand medical techniques?"

Luo Ning truthfully replied, "I am proficient in Chinese medicine, not Western medicine."

In her previous life as a Princess Consort, she spent most of her latter years learning medicine.

Not only had she studied with the Imperial Physicians at the Imperial Hospital, but she had also visited many folk experts and learned from them.

Now, she could be compared to a master of national renown.

Yu Wei said with a smile, "As long as you are proficient in medicine, Chinese or Western medicine can be useful at critical moments."

"Luo Ning, I want to hire you as the doctor for our team. What do you think?"

He paused before adding honestly, "Right now, there’s not much I can offer you, but once we reach Kyoto Base, I will definitely help you apply for a reward from the higher-ups."

"I can also help arrange accommodation and work for you, I can guarantee that with confidence," he added.

The Yu family had a place at Kyoto Base; his grandfather was one of the base’s higher-ups. Even if no one else would make arrangements, he could do so through the Yu Family connections.

The journey to Beishang Capital Base was still more than halfway to go, and of their remaining group of over a hundred people, more than fifty were unreliable; they faced danger and difficulties at every turn.

Lack of medical supplies had been a major problem along the way. If Luo Ning could fulfill the role of a doctor, it would solve many issues.

Luo Ning was aware of Yu Wei’s background and identity, and she too hoped that everyone could safely reach Kyoto Base.

With Yu Wei’s assurance, they could first secure a place to stay once they arrived at Kyoto Base; this was great.

She nodded in agreement, "Alright, I’ll do my best on this journey."

Yu Wei extended his hand, "Pleasure doing business with you!"

Luo Ning shook his hand, "Pleasure doing business with you!"

Returning to her original spot, Luo Ning took out another packet of medicine powder and sprinkled a circle around them.

Yu Wei asked, "What is this medicine powder for?"

He smelled the air, which carried a scent like fresh grass, different from before.

Luo Ning answered, "After sprinkling this, our smell will be masked by the medicinal scent, making us undetectable to zombies and mutant beasts alike."

Yu Wei gave her a thumbs up upon hearing this, "Impressive!"

As expected, the night was very peaceful.

The next day, just as it began to dawn, Yu Wei called everyone to continue on the road.

He had been in constant contact with the main force, aiming to rendezvous with them.

So a week passed, and though they encountered many dangers along the way, the losses were minimal since the team led by Yu Wei consisted of elite members, with superpower users making up the majority.

Luo Ning also made no small contribution, not only helping the injured with treatment and bandaging but also providing various Medicine Powders.

Sleeping at night during the apocalypse was originally the most dangerous, yet with Luo Ning’s Medicine Powder that concealed their scent, the team had not encountered any attacks.

According to the news from Yu Wei, whether it was the main force or other scattered groups, they would encounter an attack by Zombies or mutant beasts every other night, suffering considerable losses.

That day, Yu Wei finally confirmed the direction to rendezvous with the main force through telegram.

He gathered everyone together to discuss this matter.

Naturally, the people in the team were elated, dreaming of uniting with the main force and quickly reaching Kyoto Base.

Indeed, this week had been exceedingly difficult; their provisions were nearly depleted. Whenever they passed through villages, towns, or cities, Yu Wei would lead them to gather food resources.

For these dignitaries and wealthy elites, who were accustomed to being waited on in everyday life, it was simply too harsh.

Especially during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, that was when they suffered the most.

Nowadays, Luo Ning still prepared regular meals three times a day. While others considered nibbling on bread a luxury, they still enjoyed porridge and meals.

The scent was so delicious it seemed to drift far away and make mouths water.

Some suggested that since it was a group, Luo Ning should share the food collected in her space, so everyone could eat together.

However, Luo Ning, leading her small team, gave such people a harsh lesson, and together with Yu Wei’s warning, this matter was settled.

Although Luo Ning and her team had maxed out their resentment value, having witnessed the strength of her squad over the week, the others could only stomach their grievances.

Yet Luo Ning raised an objection, "Taking this path will be very dangerous; I suggest we take a detour."

She had a recollection that the rendezvous point Yu Wei mentioned was recently overrun by a large-scale mutant rat infestation, which had cost the lives of many survivors.

After a week of interaction, Yu Wei still valued Luo Ning’s abilities.

He asked, puzzled, "How do you know this road will be dangerous?"

Communication devices were now useless; he was using telegraph to contact the outside world, and Luo Ning couldn’t possibly have heard it from anyone.

Luo Ning pulled three copper coins out of her pocket and arranged them for Divination, "I divined it."

"Taking the road to the main force is extremely dangerous for the next ten days, more so than a large-scale zombie surge."

"If our hundred-person group were to proceed, having a third survive would mean good Luck."

"It’s very likely to be a complete wipeout."

This was her Divination; the road ahead was a deathtrap.

The people present: "..." Was Luo Ning joking with them?

They thought she had heard some rumors which is why she said that.

But who could have anticipated that she would mention divining signs? Who would believe that!

"That joke isn’t funny at all," one person quipped.

Another person raised their hand, "Divination is too flimsy for my taste. I think it’s of utmost importance to meet up with the main force as soon as possible. I support the original plan."

Soon, the majority there agreed, clearly thinking Luo Ning’s so-called divination was a joke, and they did not believe it.

Yu Wei usually didn’t believe in these things either, so he said to Luo Ning, "I’ve already made contact with the main force; they are currently waiting here, with several other scattered groups planning to rendezvous as well."

"If we take a detour, we will certainly miss the scheduled time."

Luo Ning shrugged, "I’m just offering advice for your sake, but if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do."

She turned to Shen Yan and the others, "Do you believe me?"

Without hesitation, Shen Yan nodded, "I do."

In the apocalypse, the person he trusted most was his sister. Knowing her personality, she wouldn’t joke about something like this.
