Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 579: Apocalypse True Rich Girl’s Cannon Fodder (50)
Chapter 579: Apocalypse True Rich Girl’s Cannon Fodder (50)
Lu Kai, after finishing work and returning home, ate dinner with his wife and son.
Seeing his wife and two children safe and sound, he retired to his study to work, not giving another thought to Luo Ning’s words.
An hour later, his wife suddenly burst through the door of the study.
She said anxiously, "Honey, Xiao Bao accidentally fell off a stool and cracked his head open, bleeding profusely. We need to drive him to the hospital right away."
Lu Kai dropped the papers in his hand, completely stunned; Luo Ning’s prediction had actually come true.
As he grabbed the car keys, he asked, "How did he fall off the stool?"
His wife replied, "While I was eating, I put his toy on top of the cabinet, and just now he wanted to play, so he moved a stool to reach for it. Who knew he would kick the stool over."
"He fell from the stool and hit his head right on the corner of the cabinet."
Once downstairs, Lu Kai saw his son in the nanny’s arms, his face covered in blood. His heart ached and panicked.
Taking his son from the nanny’s arms, he hurriedly drove to the hospital.
When the doctor emerged from the emergency room, he and his wife approached in great anxiety.
"Doctor, how is my son?"
The doctor assured them with a kind demeanor, "It’s nothing serious, just a broken scalp. It looks scary, but there’s no damage to the brain."
"That’s a relief, thank you, doctor," the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting an antibiotic drip, the two of them carried their son and drove home.
In the car, Lu Kai was jolted.
His son’s fall from the stool was clearly an accident, something no one could have predicted.
But Luo Ning had actually foreseen it.
What shocked him the most was not just the divination of the injury, but also that it wasn’t serious – that was quite impressive.
No wonder Yu Wei was so enthusiastic about Luo Ning’s divination technique and even wanted to bring Luo Ning to the Military Department of the Kyoto Base to specialize in divination.
It’s just that others didn’t believe it.
After getting home, Lu Kai made a phone call to Lu Xun, asking him to bring Luo Ning to the office the next day.
Lu Xun contacted Luo Ning that very night, and early the next morning went to pick her up.
Upon arriving at the office, Lu Kai took them straight to the conference hall.
At the time, all the members of the council were sitting in the conference hall, nine in total, including Mr. Qin.
Seeing Lu Xun and Luo Ning enter, everyone was somewhat baffled.
What was Lu Kai doing bringing these two here?
Lu Kai had Luo Ning and Lu Xun sit down, then he took out the results of Lu Xun’s tests and discussed the sequelae of the zombie crystal cores.
This caused a shock among the council members, and they all began to discuss it eagerly.
When they heard that Lu Xun could research a compound to solve the toxicity problem of the crystal cores, they were able to set their minds at ease.
They also couldn’t help but inwardly praise the younger generation of the Lu family for being exceptionally talented.
Once that matter was discussed, Lu Kai threw out Luo Ning’s divination results.
The council members were flabbergasted.
"Chief, you’re joking, right?"
"Predicting a major crisis at the base in half a year, possibly a large zombie horde attacking the city? That’s far-fetched."
"Yeah, we’re using satellite surveillance. If there’s a gathering of a zombie horde, we’ll definitely be able to detect it in advance. There’s no need for so-called early preparedness."
"It’s better to focus on developing civil affairs and the economy for now."
One by one, everyone voiced their opinions, only Mr. Qin did not question and even expressed his trust in Luo Ning, leaving the other council members bewildered.
Luo Ning spoke up, "Having satellite surveillance doesn’t mean everything will be fine. The zombies have already begun to develop spiritual intelligence. In six months, with higher intelligence, they’ll naturally be capable of strategic assaults on cities."
"Moreover, even if satellite surveillance detected a gathering of zombies, how much time would the base have to prepare and respond?"
That time, the satellite had not detected the mass gathering of zombies at all.
Because among the zombies, a high spiritual intelligence leader had emerged, controlling the zombies to move separately.
It wasn’t until the zombies reached the Capital City that the base discovered a large zombie tide had formed outside, and before they could prepare, the city was besieged.
If it weren’t for the weapons collected after the apocalypse, along with the countless superpower users and ordinary soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend, Kyoto Base would have completely fallen.
This made the council members present very disdainful; they didn’t believe in any Divination—it was absolute nonsense.
"Let us not believe in satellite monitoring but instead believe in so-called Divination, stop talking rubbish."
"Can you provide any evidence? If you can, we’ll believe you."
"That’s right, young people should not be too impetuous, seeking attention is not a good thing."
This was said sarcastically by those who were not on good terms with the Lu Family.
After previous events, Mr. Qin still believed in Luo Ning’s abilities.
He looked at Luo Ning and asked, "Can you find a way to prove it?"
Luo Ning said, "I can prove that my Divination will not be wrong."
"How will you prove it?" the council members present asked.
Luo Ning replied, "I will first divine your affairs; if it’s all accurate, that means my Divination will not be mistaken."
"If my Divination for six months from now is correct, and you don’t prepare properly, the losses will be very heavy."
"If you really don’t believe it, forget it, but when the base falls, you will have your share of the blame."
The council members still did not believe what Luo Ning said, but they were a bit worried about what would happen if what she said was true.
"Fine, then start the Divination with us," they agreed.
Luo Ning took out three copper coins and began from left to right.
Upon hearing they needed to blow three breaths onto the coins, the council members thought Luo Ning was joking.
But since they had agreed, they did it anyway.
Looking at the first council member, Luo Ning began, "Your parents are not your birth parents; they are adoptive, but they have treated you very well."
The council member who had been sipping tea nonchalantly widened his eyes, "How do you know that?"
Only his wife knew about this, not even his children.
Luo Ning blinked her eyes, "Natural observation and Divination revealed it to me."
"Then continue," the council member sat up straight.
Luo Ning continued, "You were not abandoned by your parents; they died in an accident and you were adopted by their friends."
"And you have a brother, whom you’ve been searching for since the apocalypse, but have found no news of."
"According to the Divination I just did for you, in three days, your brother will come to the Kyoto Base with his family to seek refuge."
The council member was stunned; these past few months, indeed, he had been searching and worrying about his brother’s whereabouts.
He asked doubtfully, "Are you sure my brother will come to Kyoto Base in three days?"
Luo Ning smiled, "Even if I’m certain now, you may not believe it."
"Whether my Divination is accurate, we’ll know in three days."
The council member took a deep breath, "Alright, I’ll wait for the result to verify it."
Because of this council member’s reaction, the others also noticed that, apart from the event predicted for three days from now, everything else Luo Ning had said was accurate.
They began to take her more seriously, and some were suddenly anticipating what Luo Ning’s Divination would reveal about them.
Then, Luo Ning looked at the second council member, took the copper coins that he had blown on, and cast a Divination.
"You..." she began to reveal some secrets about him, ones that were not publicly known and wouldn’t directly affect any interest in the current gathering.
She then proceeded to predict events that were about to occur.
