The rookie returns and flies in the apocalypse

After riding for more than an hour and still not reaching the destination, the orderly was tired and out of breath.

Xiao Hao asked him: "Brother, how long will it take to get there?"

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, the orderly replied, "Almost there, only half the distance left."

After nearly 5 hours of journey back and forth, Zuo Ling finally understood why the orderly came so early.

I secretly sighed that when a country's base has energy shortages, it would never use car wheels if it could use manpower.

Pei Nansheng patted him and said, "Brother, let my brother ride, you take a rest."

"This... this is so embarrassing."

Zuo Ling's family was the one the leader specifically requested to meet, so the orderly couldn't just rest and let the leader's guests do the hard work.

"It's okay. He's free anyway, so it's a good opportunity for him to stretch his muscles."

Xiao Hao got out of the car swiftly. He was about the same height as the orderly, so the orderly thought Xiao Hao was a young man.

"Well... that's fine. I am indeed a little tired."

After saying this, I realized that something was wrong and quickly added:

"It's not that I'm squeamish, I just drink watery liquids every day, and my stomach is empty, so I can't hold on."

The task was assigned yesterday. I woke up in the morning, drank a bowl of porridge, and ran to Zuo Ling's house. The round trip took more than 5 hours. I was so hungry that I felt dizzy and could not hold on any longer.

Zuo Ling stuffed two pieces of chocolate into his hands and handed him a bottle of water.

The orderly is in his early twenties. Those who can serve Commander Mei have been carefully selected and have much better physical fitness than ordinary soldiers.

Riding such a short distance and being panting with exhaustion shows that you have been suffering from long-term malnutrition and lack of endurance.

If even the chief's personal soldiers are like this, one can imagine how serious the food shortage is at the base.

Chocolate! The orderly was stunned. He had forgotten what chocolate tasted like.

Swallowing, "This... this..."

He was greedy and hungry, and it was difficult for him to refuse.

Zuo Ling said sympathetically:

"Eat, you have to take us back later. How can you do that if you don't have the energy?"

"Okay then. I won't be polite then."

I opened the package, ate a piece in two or three bites, and licked my lips. I ate it too fast and it was gone before I could taste it.

He opened the bottle of mineral water, drank half of it in one go, wiped his mouth, remembered something, and said:

"You guys are still able to find mineral water at this hour, you're really a wild guy."

He was just a small soldier beside the leader, and he felt envious and also wanted to spy on him.

"What are you thinking about? Where can I find mineral water to drink? It's boiled water."

Everyone in the base has a fixed amount of water. When Zuo Ling said this, the orderly felt embarrassed and wanted to return the bottle, but he had already drunk half of it and looked awkward.

Pei Nansheng patted him:

"Drink it. We are on the plantation and have more convenient access to water than you do."

Plantations are used to grow vegetables and crops, and water is supplied first. No matter where there is a water shortage, the plantations will never be short of water.

The orderly was relieved and smiled knowingly: "I understand. I understand."

Xiao Hao smiled and turned his head back, thinking, what do you know? Your brother and sister have learned bad things from you, and they just keep telling lies.

The orderly was reluctant to finish all the chocolate, so he put away a piece and planned to save it for later.

Zuo Ling saw this and handed him another compressed biscuit.

The orderly felt that today's business trip was worth it as he was able to get two pieces of chocolate and a bottle of water, but he didn't expect to get compressed biscuits as well.

Although chocolate is delicious, it is not filling. Compressed biscuits can fill you up. The orderly's eyes lit up and his hands trembled.

"Eat, you're so skinny. We fought with the mercenaries the day before yesterday and got some spoils. We still have more than ten dollars."

Patting her backpack, Zuo Ling looked as if to say, "I'm a rich man, don't be polite to me."

The orderly believed it and said happily:

"If my brothers knew about the chocolate and compressed biscuits, they would be envious to death."

"Keep your mouth shut, we don't have that much to share."

The orderly covered his mouth and said, "No, no, I won't tell you even if you kill me."

With the friendship of giving food, the orderly became noticeably more lively, and time passed quickly as they walked and chatted along the way.

Ah Si was too young to run for too long, so Zuo Ling carried him into the car early.

On the contrary, the dog got stubborn and ran all the way to the finish line.

Waterfall saw the dogs running happily and thought the tricycle was too slow, so he jumped on the dogs. The two little ones rushed forward, howling, making the orderly very envious.

“How did you take care of them so well?”

"They... can find food on their own, so we don't have to worry about them."

Ah Si looked at Zuo Ling in confusion. Do I need to find food for myself? Is that so?

Did it eat too much and make the hostess unhappy?

The orderly suddenly realized and patted his head:

"I told you, it's hard for us to support ourselves, but you are both wolves and dogs."

Xiao Hao curled his lips, thinking that his sister was becoming less and less serious when lying.

The road to becoming a senior military leader is full of checkpoints, and the final destination is actually on an aircraft carrier.

A sense of pride arose spontaneously. This is our Chinese aircraft carrier. Zuo Ling was at a loss for words to express his excitement at seeing the aircraft carrier.

The only four words left in my mind are: mighty and domineering.

The largest ship the family had ever seen was the cargo ship that was given to Chinatown.

In front of the aircraft carrier, the freighter looked so elegant that it seemed like it came from Lilliput.

Judging from the appearance, the aircraft carrier is more than 30 acres in size and can accommodate aircraft.

Chief Mei’s office is on an aircraft carrier... on a plane.

Judging from the guards and the status of the aircraft, it should be able to take off at any time.

There are three aircraft like this on the aircraft carrier.

The dog is not afraid of strangers, and the waterfall is also fearless. Even on an aircraft carrier, it cannot change its nature of running around.

The orderly reminded: "You can't run around here. Keep an eye on them, otherwise, something bad will happen."

Pei Nansheng stopped the two kids.

The two little ones were unhappy and came close to Zuo Ling, one barking and the other whining.

"Be good and behave yourself. If you get into trouble here, no one can protect you."

Zuo Ling threatened the two little ones.

The two little ones still looked unafraid and tried to run onto the plane.

The soldier pulled the bolt with a cold face and aimed. The two little ones immediately became scared.

On the contrary, Ah Si, who had been following Zuo Lingtui obediently, saw someone bullying his friend. His aggressive genes emerged and he roared and tried to rush forward.

The orderly who brought them up was so nervous that he was sweating. What would happen if he killed Chief Mei's guest's pet?

Fortunately, someone led them up quickly. The orderly wiped his sweat and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, nothing happened."

The entire plane was converted into Chief Mei’s office.

It has offices, dining areas, reception rooms, lounges, waiting areas, guard rooms, kitchens, toilets, and warehouses.

A family of six filled the small but exquisite living room.

Chief Mei walked in tiredly: "I'm here."

"Hello, Chief."

Chief Mei gestured for them to sit down and talk.

"Have you arranged a place to live? If there is anything you need my help with, just let me know. I will definitely do whatever I can."

"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Chief."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Looking at his watch, Commander Mei continued:

"It's almost noon, and I haven't had lunch yet. Come eat with me."

"No, no, we came here after dinner."

Inviting guests to dinner in the last days is like giving gold to people in prosperous times. Zuo Ling and his sister shouldn’t bother them.

Chief Mei smiled and said, "Why, you won't even want to have dinner with me?"

Having said that, the three brothers and sisters naturally followed the host's wishes.

The meals were served one by one, with exquisite plates and sophisticated utensils. Even the orderly who served the meals had extremely sophisticated manners.

Perhaps knowing that Zuo Ling and his sister treated the three little ones like family, they placed a set of dinner plates in front of each of them.

After all, it was a banquet hosted by the chief of a military force, and the family of six were looking forward to the delicious food they were about to enjoy.

Waterfall stretched out his claws, trying to take off the button.

The host hadn't moved yet, so it didn't make sense for the guest to take action first. Zuo Ling quickly stopped him.

"Come on, come on, do it, do it, you're welcome."

Commander Mei took off the buttons in front of him one by one.

Zuo Ling and his sister followed suit, opened the plate, and their eyes narrowed.

Waterfall was impatient and couldn't wait for Zuo Ling to help it, so it pushed the button plate aside with a snap.

The dog was kneeling on a chair, with its paws resting on the edge of the table, and its tongue sticking out anxiously.

Ah Si is the most well-behaved, with an arrogant demeanor and disdainful behavior. Unless Zuo Ling lifts the pot for him, he won't move at all.

There were five items in front of each person: a finger-length boiled insect, a brown, dry lump of earth, a palm-sized pancake made of meat you couldn't tell what it was made of, and two black steamed buns the size of a baby's fist.

The most normal thing is the teacup-sized soup... with two green onion rings floating on the hot water.

"Eat, eat, you're welcome."

Commander Mei ate a mouthful of black steamed buns and a mouthful of boiled insects, occasionally with some meat patties, and enjoyed the meal with great relish.

The worm was as thick as a chopstick, and you could see the dark blue stuff inside. Pei Nansheng was fine, but Zuo Ling and Xiao Hao felt so sour in their stomachs and were about to vomit due to nausea.

Waterfall came closer and sniffed, smacked its lips in disdain, then jumped into Zuo Ling's arms, humming and asking for food.

The dog used the waterfall as a weather vane and was not interested in anything that the waterfall disliked. It jumped off the chair, ran to Zuo Ling, tried to please her and waited to be fed.

"Eat, of course you won't eat, are you afraid there won't be enough? Don't worry, don't worry, I'm treating you today, the kitchen staff will have to give some face to me, Mei. If there isn't enough, we can ask them to serve more."

Chief Mei was smiling, but in the eyes of Zuo Ling and his sister, it felt like a cold wind was blowing.
