Chapter 146: Don’t You Want to Ask Why Xiao Huan and I Don’t Get Along?
This included the ownership of the five cities, which had truly fallen into the hands of the Federation Lord and were under good, unified management.
The first thing Xiao Huan did after getting these cities was to carry out a major reshuffle, cleaning out all the parasites inside.
During this period, the laboratories of those cities were always broken into by some people. Of course, they did not dare to break in openly. Each time, they would sneak in to get the research data.
Much of the experimental data was on weapons research. Because Xiao Huan was really too busy to manage these things, a lot of the experimental data was stolen.
Afterward, she was so annoyed by those people that Xiao Huan ordered the R&D department to create something that could scare this group of people away. After all, it was easy to kill those people, but after killing one wave, another wave would come. It was simply endless.
So she wanted to use ghosts and monsters to deter these people. But the thing that the R&D department had researched was beyond Xiao Huan’s imagination.
“The thing that the R&D department researched is what we saw before. As soon as it was tested, it scared those who were stealing data so much that they didn’t dare to come again. After that, Xiao Huan installed this thing in every laboratory.”
“Of course, there were also some who were not afraid. But compared to the previous number, it was much less. And this phantom device is not just for scaring people. It also has a function of deepening the fear in people’s hearts. As long as one looks at the red eyes for more than five seconds, the fear in their heart will grow larger and larger.”
At this point, Wan Feng paused, glanced at Ke Yajun, and chuckled softly. “Of course, there are also those who are particularly afraid. They are scared to death before they can even make eye contact. So this device has been used until now.”
Ke Yajun looked at Wan Feng’s annoying appearance and complained to Zhang Can’er, “Your wife is laughing at me. Aren’t you going to do something about it?”
Zhang Can’er chuckled softly, glanced at Wan Feng, and replied, “She didn’t mean that. Don’t overthink it.”
“Okay, okay. You two are ganging up on me, aren’t you? Wuwuwu, my wife, I’m being bullied. Are you going to do something about it or not?”
Zhuang Jiayuan looked at Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng with some difficulty, then turned to look at the pitiful Ke Yajun. She could only get up and kneel down on one side.
Her voice was weak and soft. “Your wife is not capable. She can only let you be bullied. You can hit me or scold me.”
How could Ke Yajun dare? She immediately stopped pretending, picked her up, and said, “Who told you to kneel? This floor is so hard. Do your knees hurt? Let me rub them for you?”
Being carried bridal-style in front of others would make one feel extremely shy, so Zhuang Jiayuan’s face was already as red as could be. She wanted to get down, but Ke Yajun held her tightly and wouldn’t let her struggle down.
Zhang Can’er couldn’t bear to look. She turned her head to the side and whispered to Wan Feng, “Sister Feng, I’m going to grab a few of those bats. Do you think it’s feasible?”
Wan Feng thought for a moment and shook her head. “It’s easy to have accidents when catching them alive. If those soldiers see them, it might cause some people to panic. It’s a bit risky.”
And there was another reason: those bats were a bit too big. What if ordinary ropes couldn’t control them? That would be a disaster. They would be like bringing a virus out. If there was any accident and these bats escaped, then their crime would be great.
Zhang Can’er fell into deep thought. She had definitely thought of this factor. But she was more afraid that these bats would appear on the main city’s side later.
At that time, if the soldiers were caught off guard, who knew how much military strength would be lost? The soldiers in the military base and the main city were already not many. If this happened again, it would definitely be a great blow to the human camp.
Out of a total of five hundred thousand soldiers, there were only about three hundred thousand left now. One could imagine how great the consumption of military strength was. And those dead soldiers would also turn into Mutants to attack humans. What’s more, the Federation was still in a civil war. At a time like this, there could be no accidents.
Actually, Zhang Can’er was also thinking, why didn’t those wizards let those Transmutants attack the military base and the main city together before? If that were the case, the human camp would definitely not have survived.
How could there be the current situation where humans were chasing after the Transmutants? Zhang Can’er couldn’t figure it out, so she just pulled her thoughts back.
After Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan had been all lovey-doveyfor a while, they continued to do their own things. And the other three also packed their things and took them to the main door.
After about an hour, with a “drip,” the main door opened with a sound.
Wan Feng held Zhang Can’er and rolled to the side. And Zhuang Jiayuan also immediately became alert and squeezed Ke Yajun to a dead corner.
The moment the main door was fully opened, a stream of cold arrows shot out, giving people the illusion of a thousand arrows being shot at once.
And Zhang Can’er also saw the basic information of these arrows in her glasses. They were poisoned black metal arrows, about seventy centimeters long, and the arrow shafts were made of hardwood.
After the arrows had finished flying, the four of them quietly peeked in from both sides. Because they had been continuously eating carrots, they were not worried that anyone could see them. Moreover, they didn’t think there was anyone inside.
The first thing Zhang Can’er saw was rows of tall machines, all black and imposing, neatly placed at the door.
But after Ke Yajun’s observation, she said that these things had no more electricity. The remaining electricity had been used up after firing the arrows just now.
Only then did the four of them walk in lightly. Zhang Can’er looked at the five machines that were taller than two people, a little amazed.
It was the first time she had seen this kind of thing. The shape was a bit like an arm. The whole thing was in the shape of a hand in a firing state. But the firing port was not in the shape of a palm, but more like a cannon muzzle.
Zhang Can’er was a little puzzled. Why didn’t this thing just be made into a turret? Instead, it was made into an arrow launcher?
She thought so and asked so. Ke Yajun was the first to reply, “Because this is the first generation. It can fire cannonballs, but it’s not as convenient as firing arrows. And the cannonballs don’t fire very far. So this machine has already been eliminated. But, shouldn’t these things have been destroyed? How are they still here?”
“Xiao Huan couldn’t bear to. The first generation used expensive materials. The parts and various components on it were all custom-made. So Xiao Huan put them away, wanting to see if this thing had any other research value,” Wan Feng replied.
Zhang Can’er stared at her for a long while and asked, “How are you so clear about these things?”
Wan Feng sneered coldly, recalling some not-so-good memories. “When I was in the assassin organization, I didn’t like to follow orders. Xiao Huan used that as an excuse to put me in various experiments. She just had me do manual labor, getting up at six in the morning and sleeping at twelve at night, for a full three months. I’ve stayed in every laboratory, so I know a little more about these things than you.”
“You and Xiao Huan have such a story?” Ke Yajun teased.
Wan Feng ignored her, took Zhang Can’er’s hand, and walked in. As she walked, she explained, “Xiao Huan and I just don’t get along. We have no other relationship with her.”
“I know,” Zhang Can’er chuckled softly.
Wan Feng turned to look at her and asked, “Don’t you want to ask why Xiao Huan and I don’t get along?”
