Chapter 563: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (34)

The two chatted as they walked.

"Old Lu, I’ve been planning to focus on the chemistry, biology, and medical books we found recently. If there’s anything I don’t understand, can I come ask you?"

It would be such a waste not to make use of a top-notch scholar like their own Old Lu.

Lu Xun chuckled lightly, "Of course!"

The content in those types of books from the library was a piece of cake for him.

Yu Wei and the others let out a huge sigh of relief seeing the two return safely from the library.

So, the group continued on their journey north.

By now, even if Yu Wei didn’t mention it, the people around would encourage him to go ask Luo Ning for divination every day.

Luo Ning didn’t refuse either, practicing divination every day. If the divination showed that the route they planned to take was extremely dangerous, she would have Yu Wei change the path.

If they discovered that they shouldn’t travel during a certain period, everyone would stop and rest.

Since the radio broadcasted the situation around the country at every interval every day, they would report on any dangerous routes or incidents that had occurred.

And everyone found that the broadcasts matched exactly with Luo Ning’s divinations.

The key was that Luo Ning used divination to predict dangers in advance, while the radio would only broadcast them after they happened. Therefore, the trust and reliance on Luo Ning within the group grew stronger.

Whenever there was rest time, Luo Ning would gather girls like Long Feifei and train them together.

If anyone was unwilling or couldn’t endure the hardship, Luo Ning wouldn’t force them, as it was their own life after all.

Luo Baomiao, seeing this, volunteered to join, but was immediately rejected by Luo Ning.

Playing the pitiful little white flower, she asked why, and Luo Ning simply stated she didn’t like her.

Everyone in the group was aware of the relationship between the two, so Luo Ning saying she didn’t like Luo Baomiao outright was quite normal.

Moreover, due to Luo Ning’s contributions and her own strength, naturally, no one would side with someone like Luo Baomiao who needed others’ protection.

This left Luo Baomiao, who used to win men’s sympathy and succeed every time she played the pitiful role, experiencing repeated failures and continuously crumbling mentally.

Because Luo Baomiao’s persona had previously been damaged, and her biological father and aunt had tightly clung to the Luo Family in her name, it left the Luo Family’s attitude towards her quite cold.

Luo Baomiao noticed these changes and, while secretly hating Luo Ning, clung desperately to Third Luo’s leg.

Their relationship had even improved beyond what it had been before the apocalypse.

Luo Ning saw through her as that kind of parasitic plant, latching onto a large tree to suck out its nutrients until it withered away before finding another one to cling to.

Her famed reputation and popularity in the previous life were largely tied to her pendant space.

And even with the pendant space, Luo Baomiao chose to rely on influential figures like Eldest Luo, instead of striving for independence and strength.

In her previous life, Luo Baomiao led a pampered existence within the Kyoto Base, never undertaking any dangerous missions outside the city.

The grains, vegetables, and fruits cultivated with Ancient Well Water were mostly supplied to the powerful and influential, illustrating Luo Baomiao had always been a very opportunistic person.

This life, without having stolen the pendant, naturally, many things had changed as a result.

Luo Baomiao was no longer the center of attention and adoration throughout the journey, and it would be difficult to remain the national sweetheart at the Kyoto Base as she had in her previous life.

After traveling for nearly two more months like this, the group finally arrived on the outskirts of Kyoto.

As the sky darkened, Yu Wei instructed everyone to rest, planning to head for the Kyoto Base the next day.

Everyone was excited; they were nearly there.

Previously while on the road, Luo Ning had spotted some herbs. At that time, she didn’t want to hold up the group, so she didn’t ask for the vehicle to stop.

Now, discovering that the resting spot wasn’t far away, only about a twenty-minute walk, she decided to go and informed Yu Wei of her intentions.

Shen Yan and a few others followed, and when Lu Xun heard about it, he trailed along, causing his assistant to be at their wit’s end.

He never knew that chasing a girl would make his scholarly boss so clingy.

At the site, Luo Ning and the others started collecting the herbs.

After gathering the herbs, just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard the roar of a wild beast and gunfire coming from halfway up the mountain not far away.

Several people immediately ran towards that direction.

Following this, they saw several individuals clad in camouflage being chased by mutant beasts, each of them seriously wounded.

They were about to be surrounded by the mutant beasts, and without rescue, they were sure to face certain death.

"Let’s save them," Fei Wenxi said, pulling out a gun and firing at a beast that was pouncing towards the group.

Shen Yan and the others did the same, drawing their guns and firing indiscriminately.

Luo Ning had a gun too; under the training of Shen Yan and others, her marksmanship had become very accurate.

She also took out her gun, aiming and shooting at the beasts continuously.

The beasts, hit by bullets, either died or changed direction, charging towards the group.

Close combat with guns was inconvenient, so the group used their superpowers.

One beast hadn’t given up and bit towards a young man’s legs.

The man, seeing the gaping maw closing in on his legs, felt a surge of despair.

Suddenly, a figure appeared next to him, and a long spear pierced through the head of the beast that was biting him.

The beast collapsed with a thunderous fall, and the young man also saw clearly the person who saved him, a young and beautiful girl.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, he saw the girl turn around and engage in a fierce battle with a mutant beast several times her size.

Lu Xun did not make a move and stood by, his gaze fixed on Luo Ning and the mutant beast.

He was ready to attack with his spiritual power the moment anything went wrong.

However, Luo Ning didn’t need his spiritual power; when the time was almost right, she seized the opportunity to stab the long spear into the heart of the mutant beast.

The others also took care of the remaining mutant beasts.

The chased victims never expected anyone to appear, let alone save them.

Seeing the mutant beasts lying dead on the ground, they breathed a huge sigh of relief and felt fortunate to have survived the ordeal.

The leader of the group, the one Luo Ning had just saved, was a handsome young man in his twenties.

His pale face showed signs of weakness as he spoke, "Thank you all for rescuing us."

Fei Wenxi responded, "You’re welcome."

The young man gave Luo Ning a special look, "Thank you for stepping in just now."

Otherwise, his legs would have been ruined.

Luo Ning smiled, "It’s nothing."

The young man asked another favor, "Could you please help us a bit more and take us back to Kyoto Base? Once we return, we will definitely reward you handsomely."

They were virtually incapacitated and seriously injured; if they didn’t leave the area, they would certainly die. That’s why they couldn’t help but ask these people for help.

Fei Wenxi and the others had no intention of just rescuing them and leaving them behind, "No problem, our team is just ahead, and we were planning to enter Kyoto Base tomorrow anyway. You can come with us."

"Thank you so much!" the young man and his group relaxed.

They noticed the multiple wounds on their bodies, still bleeding non-stop.

Luo Ning spoke up, "Let me help you treat your wounds first."

"That would be most appreciated, miss," the young man said, smiling warmly at Luo Ning.

Luo Ning took out hemostatic medicine and bandages from her space and began to treat their wounds.

She also gave them anti-inflammatory drugs.

The group was surprised; it was clear they hadn’t expected Luo Ning to be not only a space superpower user but also to carry valuable hemostatic anti-inflammatory medicine.

Nevertheless, none of them refused.

After letting the group rest for a bit, Fei Wenxi and the others voluntarily offered to assist the young men towards the direction of their team.

The young man introduced himself, "My name is Zuo Xia. Once we’re back at Kyoto Base, if you need anything, you can come to the Zuo Family and find me."

Hearing the young man’s name, Luo Ning was taken aback; wasn’t this Luo Baomiao’s fiance?
