The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: It’s You?

Time flew by during the lunch rush. After selling the last dish, Shen Lu quickly had Wang Daguo close the door and hang up the "Closed for Break" sign to keep customers from coming in for nothing.

After a quick lunch of tomato and egg noodles, Shen Lu sat at the front counter to edit today’s video.

Since she hadn’t had a free moment all morning, Shen Lu had to save the video editing—and publishing—for the afternoon.

She didn’t believe in having a backlog; she generally filmed and posted on the same day, prizing timeliness.

Suddenly, a few people appeared at the entrance. Too lazy to get up, Shen Lu sent Wang Daguo to check who it was.

"Boss, it’s people from the military."

Shen Lu sat up straight. ’They sure move fast.’

’The competition just ended yesterday, and they’re already at my door.’

"Boss, what did you say?" Her voice had been too quiet for Wang Daguo to hear. "Should I let them in?"

"What else would you do? They’re from the military. Do you really think you can turn them away?"

Wang Daguo quickly ushered the visitors to a booth. Shen Lu composed herself, then boiled some plain water, poured a few glasses, and brought them over.

"May I ask who you’re looking for?"

Of course, Shen Lu knew who they were looking for, but she had to play her part.

"Are you the owner of this restaurant?" the most amiable-looking man asked.

"More or less," Shen Lu answered vaguely.

"My name is Ge Quannong, and I’m in charge of the military’s department for new recruits..."

Ge Quannong briefly explained the reason for their visit and asked Shen Lu if there was a student from an Upper City District university working at her restaurant.

Shen Lu smiled faintly. "He’s not here right now. Would you mind waiting for him?"

"You want us to wait?" another, slightly older man frowned. "Can’t you just call him back?"

"He’s at the hospital."

At these words, the expressions of the military men changed slightly.

It was common knowledge that people in this era had robust constitutions; they wouldn’t go to a hospital for minor illnesses or injuries.

’So this 66527 actually went to the hospital? Did he suffer a serious injury, or is he gravely ill?’

"What happened?" Ge Quannong asked. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Let’s wait for him to return and speak with you himself."

’Since the lunch rush had been ending later recently, Fu Cheng and Wu Jun had been finishing their own lunch early and heading to the hospital so he wouldn’t miss his physical therapy. At this rate, they should be back in about an hour.’

An hour later, Fu Cheng and Wu Jun returned. Through the window, the military officers and Fu Cheng caught sight of each other.

The others didn’t know Fu Cheng well, but Ge Quannong recognized him. In fact, he was the very person who had escorted Fu Cheng back to the Imperial City.

Ge Quannong’s eyes widened, his gaze filled with disbelief.

’That’s Fu Cheng?’

’He’s actually still alive.’

’No, he wasn’t just alive—he was conscious and could even move around in his wheelchair.’

’What in the world happened to him?’

Meanwhile, the men with Ge Quannong all focused their attention on Wu Jun.

Following conventional logic, a disabled man in a wheelchair, who was visibly missing limbs, couldn’t possibly have defeated Taoli Bubian in the game.

Others might not have known, but they were aware that the person behind the alias Taoli Bubian was the Eldest Prince, Han Xu.

The slightly older man walked over to the waiting area and spoke to Wu Jun, his tone somewhat cold. "You must be 66527. We’re in charge of the military’s new recruit department. We’re here today to ask if you would be willing to join the military."

Wu Jun blinked. "What 66527?"

Ge Quannong walked over from behind, glanced at Wu Jun, and then let his gaze fall on Fu Cheng.

"It’s you?"
