Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 578: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (49)

Seeing their third son angrily drag his adopted daughter away,

Father Luo and Mother Luo were quite furious.

Mother Luo couldn’t help but cry out, "What sin did we commit!"

At that moment, she couldn’t help but resent Luo Baomiao, the daughter who had seduced her son’s heart.

Regardless, they were siblings!

If outsiders knew about this, where could they put their faces?

Eldest Luo and the others felt helpless, continuously persuading the two.

Finally, Father Luo hardheartedly said, "Let them go, no matter what they become, they are not allowed to come back."

He decided he didn’t have that son.

As for the adopted daughter, Father Luo resented her too, calling her an ingrate.

After a party, Luo Ning’s popularity had risen.

After returning home, she received many invitations to gatherings and visits.

For the people she felt were worth meeting, she would attend or meet; she politely refused the others.

During this period, she was either at the base learning from Lu Xun and Shen Yan, or out on missions with the team.

She also asked Yu Wei for help, finding several powerful superpower users and special forces soldiers for sparring, constantly training her coping combat skills and agility.

Although she had no superpowers, her skills were improving rapidly, not inferior to those of powerful superpower users.

The collaboration with the Zuo Family had also been settled; she provided the formulas for hemostatic medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs, also taking responsibility for continuous improvements, earning thirty percent of the profits.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, food and resources had replaced money as a medium of exchange, reverting to the bartering system of the Primitive Era.

However, continuing this way wasn’t feasible, thus major bases established a Credit Points system.

Salaries were paid in Credit Points, and consumption gradually replaced by Credit Points too.

Then, survivors discovered that upgraded zombie heads contained crystal cores.

These crystal cores could provide energy for superpower users, allowing them to level up.

Crystal cores also became a currency of circulation besides Credit Points.

One day, Luo Ning went to Lu Xun’s laboratory and saw him studying a zombie crystal core.

From her memories, she knew that in two months the drawbacks of direct crystal core absorption would be exposed.

Direct absorption indeed helped superpower users boost their abilities and even advance further.

However, it also deposited a toxin in their bodies, which over time would corrode the superpower users’ meridians and viscera, causing symptoms like nerve numbness and slow movements.

Because of this, more than half of the superpower users would die in the massive zombie swarm siege occurring six months later.

Luo Ning casually remarked as she walked over, "Those things are picked from zombie brains, won’t direct absorption have detrimental aftereffects?"

Lu Xun, playing with the crystal core, said, "I’ve already extracted a toxin from this crystal core that paralyzes nerves and corrodes organs; direct, long-term absorption would cripple a superpower user."

Luo Ning thought, "Well, Old Lu is Old Lu, he already figured it out himself."

That explained why, according to memories from that life, there was no Lu Xun.

There was indeed a Dr. Lu, the hope of humanity, but he had died on the way to the Beishang Capital Base.

He perished in that rat swarm, so the current Old Lu was a bug.

She asked, "Is there a solution?"

Lu Xun nodded, "I have a research direction now, planning to develop a compound specifically for this toxin to resolve these drawbacks." freewebnøvel.com

Now that his elder brother was the head of the Kyoto Base, he naturally couldn’t let those drawbacks continue.

Luo Ning smiled, "You’re amazing!"

Lu Xun’s lips curved up, feeling very pleased, "Your praise makes me happy."

Luo Ning revealed her purpose for coming today.

"By the way, I did a divination a few days ago and found that the Kyoto Base will face a crisis, I divined again today, and the result was the same."

Lu Xun, toying with the crystal core, paused slightly, "Can your divination specify when it will happen?"

Lu Xun trusted Luo Ning unconditionally.

Luo Ning replied, "Divination shows that in about six months, there might be a large-scale zombie attack on the city."

Knowing this, she definitely needed to remind the base to prepare and implement countermeasures.

This way, they wouldn’t have as many deaths as in that previous life, nor would the base suffer extensive damage.

Lu Xun threw the crystal core onto the plate, removed his gloves, and took off his white lab coat.

He reached out and pulled her. "Luoluo, let’s go find my brother."

Luo Ning nodded, "Okay!"

So the two went to the leader’s office.

Lu Kai was working, pondering over the zombie crystal core toxin report Lu Xun had given him that morning.

Hearing from the secretary that his younger brother had brought Luo Ning over, he was momentarily stunned.

He asked the secretary to bring them in and stood up with a smile.

"Miss Luo, we meet again."

He knew his brother’s thoughts, and he himself had a good impression of Luo Ning.

Luo Ning greeted him politely with a smile, "Hello, leader!"

"Don’t be so formal, just follow Lao Qi and call me ’big brother’ from now on."

The girl his brother liked was bound to be brought home someday, calling him ’big brother’ sooner was just as well.

Lu Xun’s aloof face revealed a bit of a smile as he said to Luo Ning, "From now on, you can call him Brother Lu."

Luo Ning, caught between laughter and tears, wasn’t pretentious, "Alright."

After sitting down, Lu Xun told Lu Kai about the results of Luo Ning’s divination.

Lu Kai was drinking tea and almost couldn’t hold back from spitting it out.

He had previously looked into Luo Ning’s background and identity because his brother’s status was special, and they couldn’t feel at ease without checking on his family.

He did know that Luo Ning was adept at divination.

On the way to Beishang Capital, he heard that it was also because of Luo Ning’s divination that Yu Wei’s team avoided several major disasters.

Although he had to believe in it because of the facts, divining that there would be a major crisis at the base six months later, likely with a large-scale zombie attack on the city, seemed a bit far-fetched!

"Are you sure?" he couldn’t help asking.

She nodded firmly, "I am sure, which is why I suggest we start preparing now, or else the losses will be severe."

Lu Kai pondered and said, "I don’t doubt you, but Kyoto base’s recently decided policy focuses on developing the economy and people’s livelihood."

"If it’s like as you said, then we would have to shift the focus to military preparedness. Just your word of divination won’t be believed by the council."

Although he was the leader with considerable decision-making power, such matters couldn’t be decided unilaterally, they would need to be passed by the council.

Luo Ning also knew that most people would find the notion of divination absurd.

But there was no helping it, she needed to make the higher-ups at Kyoto Base believe her.

"I can make the councilors believe," she confidently said.

Lu Kai was surprised and curious, "How will you make them believe?"

"Or try on me first," he added.

Luo Ning looked at his face and took out three copper coins from her pocket, handing them over, "Blow on the copper coins three times."

Though Lu Kai found this method absurd, he went along with it out of consideration for his brother.

He casually blew on the copper coins three times.

Luo Ning then performed a divination.

She said, "Tonight, someone in your family will have a head injury."

Lu Kai asked incomprehensibly, "What do you mean by ’a head injury’?"

Luo Ning replied seriously, "It means someone will have a fall and injure their head, but it’s just a minor accident and no one will die."

Lu Kai: "... "Good fortune-teller, not very convincing.

He nodded, "Alright, I’ll wait and see."
