Chapter 580: Apocalypse True Rich Girl’s Cannon Fodder (51)

Approximately one hour later, Luo Ning had finished divining for all the council members present.

The attitudes of those in attendance had shifted from initial disbelief and ridicule to shock and a mix of belief and doubt.

At the same time they wondered to themselves, could divination really be this powerful?

Lu Kai watched the change in expression and demeanor of these people, the smile on his face deepening.

No wonder his younger brother took a liking to Luo Ning, she truly was quite special.

If the predicted outcomes from the divination all came true, he believed these councilors would suggest preparing for war themselves, without needing any further prompting from Luo Ning.

Luo Ning had continuously divined for nine people, leaving her visibly fatigued and somewhat pale.

Her divinations weren’t mere guesses, she relied on reading faces and divination results, hence the significant drain on her vitality.

Seeing her in such a state, the council members suddenly felt that Luo Ning seemed a bit unfathomable.

After the meeting, Lu Xun escorted Luo Ning home.

Lu Xun also took the opportunity to join them for a meal, and during dinner, Shen Yan came back as well.

They casually chatted over the dinner table.

Shen Yan said to Luo Ning, "Luo Baomiao was kicked out by the Jia Family, and Third Luo took her and secured an apartment from the First Superpower Alliance; they’re now living together."

"And they’ve announced their relationship."

Despite the fact that his sister had severed ties with the Luo Family, he still kept an eye on news about the Luo Family and the adopted daughter.

Luo Ning showed no surprise, knowing the Jia Family was more pragmatic than the Luo Family. After the previous incident at the banquet, it was inevitable that they wouldn’t keep Luo Baomiao.

Being thrown out of the house, it was hardly possible for her to survive and live a good life on her own, so naturally, Luo Baomiao wouldn’t forgo clinging to the influential Third Luo.

Therefore, through Luo Baomiao’s deliberate seduction, Third Luo couldn’t help but succumb.

"How is Third Luo doing now?" Luo Ning hadn’t been paying much attention to these people lately.

Shen Yan nodded, "He’s a dual superpower user. I heard he’s absorbed quite a few zombie crystal cores recently, and his superpower level has risen to dual third-level; he’s even become a team leader in the First Superpower Alliance."

Currently, the strongest superpower users are at fourth-level, and across the entire Kyoto Base, there are only three of them.

Of course, this is the officially announced figure, but there wouldn’t be many hidden fourth-level superpower users either.

Luo Ning did know that Lu Xun had already reached fourth-level.

Moreover, his abilities weren’t enhanced using crystal cores; instead, he upgraded himself through a method of continuously refining his spiritual power.

Luo Ning paused, "The crystal cores, were they given by the Alliance?"

Otherwise, Third Luo couldn’t possibly have many crystal cores.

Shen Yan nodded, "It’s said that the deputy leader of the Alliance values him highly and so gave him a bag of second and third-level cores."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "What level is this deputy leader?"

Shen Yan replied with a smile, "Also third-level, but he reached it before discovering that crystal cores could be absorbed—his level was gained through continuous combat."

Luo Ning curled her lip, "That fool, Third Luo, not only has he been played for a fool by Luo Baomiao, but he’s also been used as a guinea pig by the deputy leader."

Zombies carry viruses all over their bodies, and while it had been discovered that crystal cores could increase strength, any clever superpower user wouldn’t just rush to absorb them without a second thought.

What if the crystal cores were also toxic?

Then, someone would have to be used for experiments since these superpower users don’t have Old Lu’s abilities.

No wonder after that banquet, other powers and families didn’t put much trust in the Luo and Jia Families; they even deliberately kept their distance. Meanwhile, Third Luo’s position within the First Superpower Alliance improved significantly.

Besides deliberately opposing the Lu Family, they were also using Third Luo as a disposable test subject.

"Do that deputy leader and your Lu Family get along?" She looked at Lu Xun as she asked.

Although Lu Xun generally focused his mind on research and experimentation, he still cared about and understood family matters.

He nodded and said, "Yes, the family behind him and the Lu Family were at odds even before the apocalypse, and their rivalry intensified over the fight for leadership positions afterward."

"Even though my brother is now the leader, their family still likes to oppose ours."

"They think too small, always wanting to keep power in their hands, and they regard the survivors as if they were ants—they’re not fit to be in charge." He added.

Luo Ning seemed to understand, "Hmm."

It was evident that Lu Kai had the base and the survivors’ interests at heart, fulfilling his responsibilities in his role.

Luo Ning then told Shen Yan about the drawbacks and side effects of the crystal cores and advised them not to absorb them just yet, waiting until Lu Xun had developed a compound.

Another week passed, and Lu Kai personally contacted Luo Ning, inviting her to come to the council hall.

Lu Xun had been in the laboratory working on the compound and hadn’t appeared, so Luo Ning drove there by herself.

Upon arriving at the council hall, Luo Ning noticed that the previously indifferent councilors were now all greeting her with smiles and enthusiasm, urging her to sit down.

Luo Ning looked at them with a half-smile and asked, "Have you all confirmed that my divinations were correct?"

"We are convinced by Miss Luo’s divination abilities, so we’ve decided to trust you," one councilor responded.

Another continued, "Could you please discuss the specifics of your divination results with us?"

Luo Ning replied, "All I divined was that there would be a large-scale zombie wave in six months, and if the base isn’t prepared, the losses will be severe. That’s all I know."

"What do you think we should do to prepare?" another councilor asked.

"We’re considering training more advanced superpower users," suggested another.

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed one way to train more superpower users and advanced superpower users, but it’s also quite difficult."

"I think it would be better to train and equip ordinary people so that even without superpowers they can still kill advanced zombies."

"If one person isn’t enough, then team up; use formation tactics to tackle the zombies."

"Unless we’re dealing with zombies with flying abilities, I believe that as long as ordinary people try hard, they can handle advanced zombies."

"The logic of ’ants can overpower an elephant,’ I trust you all understand."

Upon hearing Luo Ning’s words, the councilors all frowned.

"While it’s true that ants can overpower an elephant, before absolute power, all techniques are useless."

They had always believed that only superpower users could support the sky of the apocalypse.

Luo Ning smiled, "That is indeed the case."

She then shifted her tone and continued, "But I believe in the saying that man can conquer nature, and effort will be rewarded."

"It’s not a matter of forcing ordinary people to fight advanced zombies; as long as they unite against the mid and low-level zombies, they can be a significant force."

"I may have space ability, but I only created one special move using it, so my physical fitness isn’t much different from an ordinary person."

She looked at them and added, "Do you believe that without using that space move, relying solely on physical explosiveness and combat skills, I can fight a third-level superpower user?"

"And even possibly win."

Hearing her claim, everyone laughed and shook their heads, "That’s impossible."

"Then let’s try it. If I manage to do it, you give ordinary people without superpowers a chance to become stronger. How does that sound?" Luo Ning revealed her intentions.
