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 223 Guo Qi's Proposal

He Xiao seemed familiar with that location, suggesting they had likely discussed it privately.

In the distance, Xiao Hao shared the chocolate he had just received with Li Tian and the other children. The children ate it carefully, and none of them swallowed the chocolate in one gulp.

The smile on Xiao Hao's face was very different from the one she usually saw; it was the joy of sharing.

A hidden corner of her heart was touched, and after a long while, Zuo Ling said:

"You can settle down in the place you mentioned, or act under our brother and sister's name. Let me make this clear: we will only do what we are capable of. We will not fight anyone to the death. If we are unable to do so, we will protect ourselves first, and we may even abandon you. Please think it over carefully before you act."

Pei Nansheng was surprised by his sister's decision. Knowing Zuo Ling as he did, he knew better than anyone how much Zuo Ling hated trouble.

This implies an intention to protect the region, which is no easy feat for Zuo Ling.

Guo Qi and the others breathed a long sigh of relief. Although Zuo Ling's promise was not entirely satisfactory, this was already the best possible outcome.

"Okay, it's settled then. When are we moving in?"

"Let's move as soon as possible, while the Ning family still has reservations about us siblings."

After thinking for a moment, Zuo Ling said again:

"Tomorrow, at this time, we will be waiting for you 30 miles to the southeast."

She wanted to get two trucks in advance for transportation; she didn't want to travel a long distance with a bunch of people.

They said they'd go, and left without hesitation.

They called Xiao Hao, grabbed their belongings, and the three siblings left the Chinese village.

At the entrance to the payment counter, a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties appeared. Upon seeing Zuo Ling and her brother, she was filled with hatred that made her eyes blaze with blood.

Ning Wu is her man, and he was inexplicably targeted. The higher-ups still haven't given an explanation.

Seeing her unfriendly gaze, Zuo Ling stood at the gate, glaring back at her, forcing the woman to keep her head down before walking out.

Pei Nansheng found it amusing, "Why are you getting angry with her?"

"Who told her to glare at me?"

Xiao Hao, standing to the side, was eager to try, saying, "Should we give her a good whack too? She dares to glare at my sister; she's spoiled rotten."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zuo Ling laughed so hard she tilted her head back; the feeling of bullying someone was just too good.

Guo Qi and He Xiao were speechless at Pei Nansheng and his sister's impromptu departure style.

You've caused such a huge mess, and you're just going to walk away like that? The Ning family can't afford to offend you, but can't we afford to mess with us?

If they take out their anger on us, none of us will get out.

Whether she could go out or not, Zuo Ling didn't care at all. She wasn't a wet nurse, so how could she care about so much?

Good luck to you!

One is a well-established force, the other has an uncertain future.

It wasn't easy for Guo Qi and He Xiao to persuade everyone to leave the Chinese village. Unless they had been treated extremely unfairly in the Chinese village, no one wanted to leave.

He Xiao and his gang will definitely follow, as they are closest to Pei Nansheng and his sister, at least in other people's eyes.

Thinking about it this way, many people felt somewhat dissatisfied with Pei Nansheng and his sister.

"They just packed their bags and left, abandoning us and leaving us in a terrible situation."

He Xiao glared at him, "You guys seem to enjoy the rice and flour they brought you. You've also used a lot of the medicine they gave you. Going or not is voluntary; no one is forcing you."

The man shrank back in fright, muttering, "I didn't say I wasn't going, so I can't even complain a little?"

He Xiao didn't indulge him. "They have the ability to make the Ning family admit defeat, but you don't. So just keep it to yourself. Complaining when you have no ability is annoying."

One sentence left everyone speechless.
