Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 546: Apocalypse: The True Daughter of Wealth Turns to Ashes (17)

Chapter 546: Apocalypse: The True Daughter of Wealth Turns to Ashes (17)

Seeing that it was Shen Yan who had brought his sister back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked towards Luo Ning, marveling in their eyes. They hadn’t expected Shen Yan’s sister to be so beautiful.

As they were sizing up Luo Ning, she was also taking them in.

All four had a tough demeanor, no wonder the whole team had gained some fame at Kyoto Base after two years.

Shen Yan smiled and introduced them, "This is my sister, Luo Ning."

He then introduced the four to Luo Ning.

Wu Chang, tall and burly with somewhat dark skin.

Jiang Han, handsome and sunny.

Fei Wenxi, reserved yet with a sense of sagacity.

And the only female among them, Mi Yan, who was very beautiful, even possessing a fragile white lotus quality.

Luo Ning was not exactly unfamiliar with them, having had quite a few interactions with them at Kyoto Base.

Although it was somewhat inevitable for them to feel dismayed that Shen Yan had such a truly delicate sister slowing them down, they did not disdain or dislike the original person. Rather, they had privately provided a good deal of help.

Especially Mi Yan, who took great care of the original person and even resolved a troublesome scenario where a wastrel son of a high-ranking official at Kyoto Base harassed her.

As such, Luo Ning looked at them quite fondly.

She smiled and greeted, "Sister Mi, Brother Wu, Brother Jiang, Brother Fei, hello!"

"Luo, hello!" they replied courteously to Luo Ning, aware of how much Shen Yan valued and cared for his sister.

Mi Yan even came over with a smile, affectionately linking arms with Luo Ning.

Her eyes shone as she looked at Luo Ning and said with a smile, "I always thought Luo would be very beautiful, but you’re even more stunning than I imagined."

Luo Ning knew Mi Yan was deceptively cunning and fiercely loyal, outwardly a white lotus but truly a tyrant at heart.

The reason for her fragile appearance, which aroused men’s protective instincts, was not only her natural looks but also their past missions in disguise.

Having disguised so often, this was how Mi Yan appeared to outsiders, showing her true self only to those she truly accepted.

Luo Ning was fond of Mi Yan.

She smiled and winked, "I also heard from my brother that there was a beautiful girl in the team, but I didn’t expect you to be this beautiful."

Especially since she knew Mi Yan had always harbored an unrequited love for Shen Yan, hence her affection towards her, Luo Ning, followed naturally.

In that lifetime, Shen Yan had died trying to save the original person, and although Mi Yan had become much colder towards the original person, she didn’t take out her anger on her.

Instead, she sent the original person to a safe place, to wait for the military team from Kyoto Base to return, and then go back with them.

Mi Yan then rushed back on her own to avenge Shen Yan and died as well.

Shen Yan: "..." When did I ever say that?

Hearing Luo Ning’s words, Mi Yan’s face showed a delighted smile, then she playfully scolded Shen Yan with a glance, "This straight man doesn’t know what beauty is."

Shen Yan: "..."

Women are trouble.

Then he showed a smile in his eyes. It was a relief and a joy that his sister got along well with Mi Yan.

The group went upstairs first.

After some conversation, Mi Yan brought over bread and milk, suggesting everyone fill up their stomachs for the time being.

It was lunchtime now.

Being able to have bread and milk was already considered a luxurious lunch nowadays; many survivors outside were running out of food.

Luo Ning wasn’t fussy and started to eat after thanking for the food graciously.

Seeing her polite and not picky, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their first impression of Luo Ning was quite good.

They had heard from Shen Yan that his sister was a young lady from the Luo Family, but when he brought her to move to Shangjing, although they didn’t mind, they were just worried she might be a pampered rich girl.

Now it seemed there was no need to worry.

After finishing the bread and milk, Fei Wenxi spoke about their plans to go to Beishang Capital City Base the next day.

He had barely started speaking when suddenly his walkie-talkie rang.

It was a military signal from S City, and he quickly opened the connection.

A stern and urgent voice came through from the other end, "The expressway exit to be used for evacuation tomorrow has suddenly been blocked by zombies. Your squad must hurry to provide support."

"After you clear the zombies, join the team that’s helping to secure the area and meet up with the main force at the intersection tomorrow."

Fei Wenxi replied immediately, "Alright, we’re on our way now."

After ending the call, he looked at his teammates with a grave expression.

He glanced at his watch, "You heard the orders from above; let’s get ready and leave in five minutes."

The others also put away their previous lack of focus and quickly started to prepare.

Fei Wenxi then turned to Shen Yan, "You and Luo Ning will come with us too, and Luo Ning can just wait for us in the car when we arrive."

Although having a civilian with them was a burden, it was Shen Yan’s sister, and no one minded.

Shen Yan nodded, "Okay!"

Now that it was the apocalypse, as much as he hated to see his sister suffer, some experiences were necessary.

Soon, the team packed their things and went downstairs.

They had noticed earlier that Luo Ning’s off-road vehicle was a modified military off-roader and thought that Shen Yan’s sister must be quite capable.

To be able to get such a high-performance car during the apocalypse.

Their group also had an off-road vehicle.

They split into two cars, with Mi Yan’s group of four in one, and Shen Yan and Luo Ning in the other.

The group knew that the siblings had just been reunited and must have a lot to talk about.

On the road.

Luo Ning asked Shen Yan, who was driving, "Brother, are they special forces?"

She had already noticed a military-like quality about them.

Shen Yan replied honestly, "They used to be, but after they were discharged, they formed a mercenary team."

"However, they’ve always been working for the military, and after the apocalypse began, they officially rejoined the military. So, they’re given assignments when there’s a mission."

"But on the surface, they’re still mercenaries, currently employed by the military. They’ll be accompanying the evacuation of important individuals and survivors from S City to the Kyoto Base."

Since his sister would be spending a lot of time with the team, he didn’t hide anything.

Luo Ning then asked, "What about you?"

Shen Yan responded, "At first, I simply joined their mercenary group and went abroad with them for a few missions."

"I had just returned to the country recently when we took on a job in S City, only to have the apocalypse hit before we could complete it."

"That’s when I found out about their covert identities, and they invited me to join the military."

"After I enlisted, I came to look for you."

Their status as mercenaries wasn’t a secret within the military, and they weren’t forbidden to talk about it.

Shen Yan trusted his sister.

Luo Ning was a bit surprised to learn that her brother had joined the military, but then again, it made sense.

Her brother had initially wanted to go to the Military Academy but chose to study a mechanical major at a university in their province to take care of her.

"Brother, the hundred thousand you secretly put in my bag years ago, was that an advance payment for a mission?" She hadn’t known about this.

At that time, when Shen Yan found the original host at the supermarket entrance, they encountered a zombie horde, and the two fled together.

Eventually, they were forced to run around the city for several days before they managed to eliminate all the zombies.

As a result, they missed the time to meet up with their team and also missed the convoy heading to the Beishang Capital Base.

In that lifetime, the original host learned that her brother had been separated from the team, and he regretted it a lot.

Fearful of bringing up her brother’s painful memories, she had never asked about it.
