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 342 You...

Ning Qiang was very busy. After dropping Zuo Ling's family off, he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

The waiters served each table a plate of delicate pastries and fruit.

Snowflake cake, crispy mung bean cake, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, plum blossom cake, cherry tomatoes, and beauty finger cake.

Zuo Ling's family was alright, but the guests at the other three tables of banquet stared wide-eyed at the dishes, especially the cherry tomatoes and the "beauty finger" (a type of tomato dish), their eyes were even more eager than Ah Si's.

The Ning family has plant-type ability users, but their abilities are limited, and the range of their abilities is also very limited.

In the post-apocalyptic world, those who can afford to eat their fill will be far more numerous than ordinary people.

Being able to eat a full meal with vegetables on the table is a step up.

Those who can eat their fill, have vegetables on the table, and eat fruit are the people at the top of the pyramid.

The Ning family is naturally at the top of the pyramid.

The exquisite tableware and plating alone are a feast for the eyes.

Waterfall pointed its little paws at the plum blossom cake, and Zuo Ling broke off half to feed it.

Not to be outdone, the dog stuck out half its tongue and pointed towards the snowflake cake. Xiao Hao took two pieces and stuffed them into the dog's mouth.

The little wolf glanced at the crispy mung bean cake, while the woman busied herself feeding the fat rabbit. Who was feeding it?

Pei Nansheng snapped his fingers at the little wolf, and the little wolf looked in Zuo Ling's direction, wanting to be fed by a woman.

Feeling rejected, Pei Nansheng's face twitched. He glared at the little wolf, who reluctantly jumped off the pet stool and ran towards Pei Nansheng.

The people at the other tables were either staring wide-eyed, mouths agape in disbelief, dumbfounded, or bristling with anger...

Ah, ah, ah, ah, this is outrageous! This is outrageous!!

They, they, they actually stuffed delicacies that even humans couldn't afford into the mouths of beasts!

Nothing tastes good anymore.

"You...how did you get here? Don't you know the rules?"

An elderly man with half his eyebrows turned white, his beard twitching repeatedly, finally stood up and loudly reprimanded Zuo Ling and her brother.

Zuo Ling glanced at him sideways, thinking, "Where did this lunatic come from? It's so inexplicable."

She had abundant resources and regarded the three children as family, so she naturally didn't feel anything was wrong.

Little did they know that such a small gesture would touch a nerve with most people.

Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao acted according to Zuo Ling's signals. Since Zuo Ling didn't say anything, the two of them acted like an old man having a seizure and ignored him.

The plum blossom cake wasn't fluffy enough and was too sweet. Waterfall was picky and only ate two bites before refusing to eat any more, pointing her little paws toward the snowflake cake.

Zuo Ling dotes on the chubby rabbit and gave it another piece of snowflake cake.

No one paid him any attention, and the old man trembled with anger.

A middle-aged man stepped forward and asked with a stern face:

"Who are you from? Who invited you?"

The elderly and middle-aged people arrived late and didn't see that Ning Qiang had brought Zuo Ling and her brother.

Whether they had a good relationship with the old man or not, everyone wanted to know who Zuo Ling's family was, that they could be led by the Second Young Master Ning to attend Old Master Ning's wedding banquet. For a moment, no one stepped forward to stop them.

"What's it to you?"

Zuo Ling was busy feeding the rabbits, and even the birds ignored him.

The middle-aged man's face flashed with anger. "Do you even know how precious food is? Is it appropriate to feed such precious food to a few animals?"

Zuo Ling glanced at him:

"It's perfect. I was even complaining about their cooking skills. Didn't you see that my little waterfall doesn't like it?"

As if to echo her words, the waterfall splashed the half-eaten snowflake cake onto Zuo Ling's hand.

The dog understood and slapped away the cherry tomato that Xiao Hao was offering.

The little wolf didn't understand what everyone was doing, but that didn't stop it from joining forces with the dog and the fat rabbit. The wolf turned its head and just missed the mung bean cake that Pei Nansheng was feeding it.

Puff, puff...

The three little ones' human-like actions are so well-behaved and adorable, they're just too cute!

Many people who didn't get along with the elderly and middle-aged couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The elderly and middle-aged people were so angry they almost fainted.

The old man stomped his cane hard, "Outrageous! Outrageous! This is outrageous!"

The middle-aged man shouted loudly to the waiter:

"I think you're here to cause trouble. Guards, guards, get them out of here quickly, lest you ruin Elder Ning's wedding banquet."

The waiter was sweating profusely, thinking to himself, "Are you blind? Can't you see that their table is different from the others? Those pet seats are the ones we finally managed to find. They're obviously VIPs. Who would dare to kick them out?"

Someone who was on good terms with the elderly and middle-aged people couldn't stand it anymore and whispered a few words in their ears.

It turned out that Young Master Ning had personally led them here. The two men's expressions changed. What had they missed?

Zuo Ling smiled enigmatically and said, "Go ahead and chase me away. Let's see how you manage to get me out of here."

They couldn't be chased away, so the two sheepishly returned to their seats.

A person hurried into the banquet hall, spotted Zuo Ling at a glance, and took a few quick steps.

"Miss Zuo, Elder Ning requests your presence."

The old man and the middle-aged man both turned green; they rarely saw Old Ning even a few times a year.

"I'll be right back. You can do as you please. If there are any rude people, don't be polite to them."

After telling the two brothers something, Zuo Ling left with that man.

She spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear, and then she glanced intentionally toward the elderly and middle-aged people.

The elderly and middle-aged people were extremely embarrassed. If they hadn't wanted to curry favor with Elder Ning, they would have left.

In the old man's study, the table and the floor were piled with various gifts tied with red silk.

Completely different from the simple and clean place she had come from, everything from the ground to the ceiling was now a vibrant red and a dazzling gold, and Zuo Ling almost didn't recognize it anymore.

The elderly man, dressed in a red Tang suit, sat in his wheelchair with a smile on his lips.

Upon seeing Zuo Ling arrive, he beckoned to her, "Come, sit down."

The major, being very perceptive, led the way to the door.
