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 201 The Oriole Returns

The six people all looked rather grim. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion, who coldly sized up Zuo Ling.

"The Ding family is truly talented. One is a dual-elemental ability user, combining spatial and ice-based abilities, while the other has awakened one and a half abilities. No wonder this thousand-year-old reclusive family fell into your hands. It's a pity, though, that they are two ungrateful wolves. The Ding family has lost too many people trying to capture you two traitors."

Zuo Ling had never heard Pei Nansheng mention these six people, so she guessed he was unaware of their existence.

I tried to activate my light-based abilities, but there was no reaction at all, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

Knowing that Zuo Ling was up to something, the sallow-faced middle-aged man sneered:

"Save your breath. Do you even know what this is? It's the God-Binding Array, specifically designed to deal with unruly superhumans."

Zuo Ling refused to believe it and tried to enter the space... Sure enough, she couldn't get in.

"Hmph, the elders are determined to take your life, don't even think about playing games..."

Before she could finish speaking, bang, bang, bang, bang... a series of gunshots rang out, and Zuo Ling found herself holding two small pistols.

Two people were killed and two others were wounded. The yellow-faced man and another person retreated rapidly.

Zuo Ling was relieved; luckily, just in case, she had brought two handguns with her.

"You are shameless!"

The sallow-faced man was so angry that his face contorted.

Zuo Ling was too lazy to argue with him. He was just trying to fight back. Who was going to talk to him about the unwritten rules for people with superpowers?

The formation had a flaw, and Zuo Ling stepped out, casually unleashing 24 ice arrows at the four people.

One person spread their wings, another rapidly grew taller and larger, and yet another unleashed several vines. The middle-aged man with the yellow face possessed wind powers, his wind as sharp as a blade.

The four of them used various methods to attack Zuo Ling.

Zuo Ling released more than a dozen large ice blocks to protect herself. She moved quickly, and the yellow-faced man and the others thought it was her ice superpower.

He thought to himself, "There are only legends about ice-based abilities that reach Zuo Ling's level."

The middle-aged man with a sallow complexion shouted, "Start the battle!"

In the previous battles, Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling defeated the Black and White Nine Fiends and the Twelve Gold and Silver Guards without much effort.

The four Jin family members behind them were taken into the space by Zuo Ling and should have died as well.

The middle-aged man with the sallow complexion dared not be careless anymore. If a real fight broke out, they might not be a match for Zuo Ling. Only an array could trap Zuo Ling.

The four returned to their positions, the discs in their palms shining brightly. They'd been fooled once before, but now... Hmph!

A thought flashed through his mind, and Zuo Ling appeared in the animal ability user's position. Before the man could react, the disc in his hand was snatched away, and he immediately appeared in the spot where Zuo Ling had just been.

Ah... The animal-type ability user's limbs were pierced by several sharp blades, and he immediately lost the ability to move. The reclusive elders wanted him, but they dared not kill him.

The other three were astonished. What... what happened? Why were they switched?

Zuo Ling activated her light-based superpower and attacked the flying superpower user. The flying superpower user burst into flames and crashed to the ground with a scream.

Just as Zuo Ling attacked the plant-based ability user, a deafening roar shook the earth.

Thump, thump, thump, thump... The heavy beating of a heartbeat signaled that the earth, like a sleeping creature, was slowly awakening.

A fierce wind howled, and dark clouds rolled in, pressing down on the mountains with overwhelming force. The mountains seemed to be afraid of the dark clouds, retreating and retreating...

Wait, wait, no, no, no, it's not retreating, it's the mountain collapsing downwards.

The booming sounds were like the beating of drums and horns, and the various mountain peaks were like soldiers obeying orders, fearlessly charging downhill regardless of their own lives.

Thump, whoosh, crack, lightning streaks across the sky, the earth trembles and sand churns.

The smoke and dust, like a desperate dancer, waved her long sleeves, brushed against the wind and sand, and danced her last sad farewell dance in the rising smoke.

The sand and stones tore at her body, blood and tears mingling, splashing ink and color with her dance steps, her staggering yet enchanting figure possessing a unique charm.

In the distance, the people in the felt tent area were in a state of panic.

Children cried loudly, women screamed, men snarled, and the elderly looked bewildered and helpless.

The few cattle and sheep stumbled and ran away in all directions. The sheepdogs barked wildly, their eyes filled with fear, but they did not forget their duty and tried to steady themselves and gather the scattered cattle and sheep together.

The ground was soft and unsteady on Zuo Ling's feet. Without bothering to cause trouble for the two, she released the helicopter and boarded it as quickly as possible.

The helicopter took off, and the plant-based superhuman lashed out vines that hooked onto the tail of the helicopter.
