The Rookie Returns: Soaring in the Apocalypse

On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.

However, on the verge of death, s...

Chapter 182 Unresolved

He Guiqi and Yu Lianhai arrived one after the other, "Sister, sister, what happened? Who's bullying my sister?"

He Guiqi was used to being arrogant, and after joining the army, he had been suppressing his arrogance. Now that he finally had a chance to let loose, he was unwilling to miss it.

Pointing at the burly men, Zuo Ling said with a wronged expression, "They...they were being indecent, they tried to touch me."

He Guiqi stared wide-eyed and blinked hard. A bunch of injured people... This is... I didn't get to touch them, my sister beat me up?

For some reason, I burst out laughing. The frustration of being beaten up back then was finally shared by someone.

I thought to myself, "You dare to touch a tigress? You're bolder than me! And when it comes to throwing feces and piss, I even had someone secretly do it for me. You guys really dare to do it! Amazing! Truly amazing!!"

The tense scene was made inexplicable by his laughter. Yu Lianhai glared at him and asked, "What's so funny?"

He was He Guiqi's direct superior. When his superior glared at him, he dared not laugh and subconsciously moved behind Zuo Ling.

Yu Lianjun's rank was not high, but at the base, he was one of the few well-known company commanders.

This was all because he was the leader of the planting company. Everyone was short of food, and everyone wanted to get along well with the people in the planting company.

Seeing that Yu Lianhai immediately stood on Zuo Ling's side, the young soldier immediately knew which way the wind was turning.

Guns were pointed at the burly black men:

"What's going on? What's all this commotion about? Fighting with kids and dogs? You guys don't want to stay at the base anymore, do you?"

The burly men were on the verge of tears, feeling wronged. "Are you blind? Did we fight with the child? He beat us up on his own!"

Pei Nansheng took Xiao Hao and Xue Ye out for training and encountered a group of scavengers.

The scavenger tried to steal Pei Nansheng's all-terrain vehicle, but Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao stole it instead, bringing back a truckload of steel and ingots, which they exchanged for 3,000 points.

The burly man had malicious intentions and tried to scam Pei Nansheng, which led to the events that followed.

Several of his brothers were injured, and he gained nothing. The burly man was in a bind, clutching his chin, pointing at Xiao Hao, and whimpering incessantly.

His companion immediately translated:

"Young comrade, you have to stand up for us! That kid went too far. Look how badly he beat us."

The young soldier's mouth twitched. Eight adults, beaten by a child, how could they have the nerve to complain? They might as well just find a block of tofu and smash their heads against it.

Xiao Hao was indignant and shouted, "Who told you to be so talkative and try to touch my sister? You're asking for a beating! I think you didn't hit me hard enough!"

He hasn't gone through puberty yet; his voice is soft, cute, and a little babyish. Paired with his pretty little face, he's incredibly adorable.

Everyone was incredibly envious. How did they raise this child? When he's beating people up, he's as fierce as a little leopard, but when he's being cute, he's so adorable it melts your heart.

The young soldier, with a stern face, asked the burly man and his gang:

"Is that so? Touching a girl is a crime of hooliganism, and according to the law, you should be expelled from the base."

“No, it’s him,” one of them said urgently, pointing at Pei Nansheng, “He touched our sister, so we’re just getting our revenge.”

The young soldier glanced at Pei Nansheng: "Is that so?"

Xiao Hao shouted, "My brother didn't touch that auntie, she bumped into my brother herself."

He paused, frowned, and continued:

"She's skinny, dark-skinned, and ugly. What's so great about touching her? My sister is much prettier than her. If anyone's going to touch someone, it's my sister."

Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling's faces contorted in disgust. What kind of talk was this? How could they just touch her like that?

He Guiqi suppressed a laugh and coughed twice:

"Exactly, she's dark-skinned, ugly, and skinny. What's so great about her? She's not as pretty as my sister. If anyone's going to touch someone, it's my sister."

Zuo Ling kicked him, saying, "Xiao Hao is talking nonsense, and you're just spouting nonsense too."

The woman, embarrassed by Xiao Hao and He Guiqi's teasing, let out a soft moan, covered her face, and ran away.

The person involved has already run away, there's not much to investigate, the young soldier chases them away:

"Alright, alright, disperse, disperse, everyone stop gathering in groups, go do what you were doing."

The burly men and their gang got anxious: "He beat us up like this, and you're just going to let it go?"

The young soldier frowned, cocked his rifle, and pointed the muzzle at him: "Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I really don't know what's going on? If you cause any more trouble, get out of the base."

The burly man and his gang fell silent, watching helplessly as Pei Nansheng and his group swaggered away.

Xiao Hao turned around and made faces at them, which angered the burly man and the others so much that they suffered internal injuries.

Before I even got home, I saw Researcher Tang and his wife waiting at their doorstep.

Researcher Tang came up to him: "How are you? Are you alright now?"

Xiao Hao hugged Researcher Tang's waist and waved his little fist:

"It's alright, Grandma Tang. I beat up the person who framed my brother. I'm really awesome."

"Really? Are you hurt?"

Researcher Tang glared at Pei Nansheng with displeasure. "Why doesn't your brother do anything so you can beat someone up?"

Pei Nansheng touched his nose. He seemed pretty useless. Whenever something happened, either his sister would step in, or his brother would beat someone up.

The legend of a little boy under ten years old beating up eight big men circulated in the base.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongyi made a special trip to ask Pei Nansheng if he was interested in enlisting.

How could someone who can teach a child as young as a few years old to hold his own against eight burly men be an ordinary person?

Pei Nansheng refused. His only wish now is to live with his younger siblings. Living well is more important than anything else.

The scorching sun seemed endless.

Under the blazing sun, Zuo Ling was replanting sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in the fields. It was incredibly hard work, and her skin got tanned.

The face masks in my storage space have finally come in handy. Normally, I wouldn't even remember to use one a week, but now I feel like I can't even use five a day.
