Chapter 186: The Wizards’ Purpose
This time, Zhang Can’er was fully prepared, and Zhuang Jiayuan had really eaten her fill.
Then she fell asleep, satisfied.
“Hey, you eat and then sleep? You’re like a little pig,” Ke Yajun said with a helpless and teasing tone, looking at the person in her arms who was breathing evenly.
“Let her sleep. Anyway, we’re not in a hurry now.”
Zhang Can’er said softly, looking at the floor plan of Star Wall City.
Ke Yajun placed Zhuang Jiayuan on the sleeping mat, covered her with a blanket, and then moved closer to the two of them, asking in a low voice, “Aren’t you going to Star Wall City to take a look?”
Zhang Can’er shook her head. “No. Going now is just walking into a trap. Even if we have the invisibility skill, we can’t go in so rashly. Who knows if those wizards have something that can discover us? So let’s wait a few more days and see, to make them mistakenly think that we haven’t arrived yet.”
Ke Yajun nodded, but her heart was still a little unwilling.
Wan Feng glanced at her and said, “It’s just sitting here anyway. Do you want to eat a carrot and go for a flight? To see the situation outside. Without the noise of the aircraft, the Mutants probably won’t hear a sound.”
Ke Yajun’s eyes lit up, and she was a little eager to try. “I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. Can I, Sister Can?”
Zhang Can’er glanced at the two of them and smiled helplessly. “Be careful. Don’t get yourself lost.”
“Got it!”
With that, Ke Yajun jumped off the platform directly. Before long, a black shadow shot up and circled around the platform a few times before stopping.
“Sister Can, this thing of yours is much better than my aircraft. Look, I can even rotate and dash,” she said and dashed forward, her body rotating in the air for several circles before stopping.
Just with this one move, she had shot out a long distance, estimated to be about two or three hundred meters.
After getting used to it in the air for a while, Ke Yajun landed on the platform.
She said with a grin, “Sister Can, can you give me some more sweet potatoes? I want to add to the time so that I can fly forever!”
Zhang Can’er rolled her eyes at her. “The sweet potatoes have just been planted. There aren’t that many. These of ours were all ripened by me with another accelerate growth skill. You’ll have to wait a little longer.”
Ke Yajun was stunned for a moment. “So Sister Can has another skill?”
“I’ve always had it, but I haven’t used it much. Unless there are new seeds and I need some urgent fruits, I will use it. It’s basically useless now.”
“Oh, oh.”
Afterward, after Wan Feng had finished the sweet potatoes with a frown, she went out to scout with Ke Yajun.
Zhang Can’er, on the other hand, sat on the platform and observed Star Wall City with a telescope.
The telescope that Ke Yajun had modified could observe where there were living creatures and where there were people in real time. These things would also be recorded and uploaded to Ke Yajun’s cloud, which could be viewed at any time.
Star Wall City was much poorer compared to the other towns. The city walls were all made of black metal materials, and the houses inside were basically brick or wooden houses. It was rare to see a house made of black metal.
Of course, the City Lord’s Mansion was built with black metal, but it was not large. Compared to the previous few City Lord’s Mansions, this one could only be said to be an ordinary villa, much smaller.
Zhang Can’er felt that it was a bit strange. Logically speaking, Star Wall City was one of the most important sources of vegetables for the Federation. It shouldn’t be so poor.
But now was not the time to think about these things, so Zhang Can’er didn’t think too much about it. After a careful observation of Star Wall City, Zhang Can’er put down the telescope.
Then she wrote and drew on the floor plan.
Besides the Mutants in Star Wall City, there were also many wizards. They were all hiding in various dilapidated small houses, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
Zhang Can’er didn’t understand these things and instead asked Ru Xi in her heart.
‘Ru Xi, what are those wizards doing?’
‘I don’t know,’ Ru Xi’s lazy voice came, as if she had been woken up before she had had enough sleep, and her tone was also quite impatient.
‘You know. The treaty says that you must answer my questions.’
After a moment of silence, Ru Xi’s voice came out. ‘I don’t know what specific witchcraft it is, but looking at this formation, I’m afraid many people will die.’
‘Die? You mean those wizards will die, or that the survivors I haven’t seen will die?’
‘It’s those wizards. Didn’t you see that they’ve all entered the city? The entire town is now a formation. But this kind of large-scale formation hasn’t been used for a thousand years. I don’t know how those wizards dared to.’
Zhang Can’er’s expression became solemn. ‘Will something happen?’
‘At the very least, people will die. At the very worst, the planet will collapse.’
“So serious?” Zhang Can’er was so anxious that she spoke out loud.
‘Heh, since witchcraft can turn this planet into an apocalypse, what’s wrong with making it collapse?’
Zhang Can’er suppressed her panic, stood up, and said as she tidied up, “Then I’ll just go and stop it.”
‘It’s too late.’
As Ru Xi’s voice fell, a white light shot up in Star Wall City. The white light grew larger and brighter.
Until a loud explosion sounded, Zhang Can’er quickly threw herself at Zhuang Jiayuan and protected her under her.
After the aftershock had dissipated, Zhang Can’er slowly got up and ate a Healing Bean, and also fed one to Zhuang Jiayuan.
After the effect of the medicine had taken effect, Zhang Can’er finally moved her hands and feet. After the stinging pain was gone, she picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of Star Wall City.
The town had already turned into a ruin, or rather, it couldn’t even be called a ruin. It would be more appropriate to say that it was a pile of scrap metal.
‘It failed. Heh, it seems that those wizards are just like that. I thought they had some great ability.’
‘They made such a big commotion. Aren’t they afraid that the Federation will come? No matter what, the Federation still has military strength now. At worst, they can fight to the death and still fight a way out. At that time, it’s not certain who will win and who will lose.’
‘Alas… those wizards are all lunatics. Can you reason with a lunatic?’
Zhang Can’er put down the telescope and said in a deep voice, “I will let them know who the real lunatic is.”
With that, Zhang Can’er turned to look at Zhuang Jiayuan, who had been woken up by force, and asked in a low voice, “How are you? Are you still uncomfortable anywhere?”
Zhuang Jiayuan shook her head. “No. Where are A’Ya and Sister Feng?”
“I’ll go and find them now. Can you be on your own?”
“Let’s go together. I’m much better.”
“Okay.”
The two of them did not linger. After eating a sweet potato and a carrot, they jumped off the platform and then quickly flew into the sky.
Zhang Can’er looked at the two small green dots on her watch, her brow slightly furrowed. She prayed in her heart that nothing would happen to the two of them.
When they reached the vicinity of the green dots, they heard the roar of a beast. The sound was so loud that it almost deafened Zhang Can’er and Zhuang Jiayuan.
The two of them followed the sound into the forest. As soon as they landed, the two of them hid behind a large tree and then squatted down to observe the surroundings.
The roar just now was not like an ordinary beast. Zhang Can’er’s heart began to pound. She was afraid that it was Wan Feng and Ke Yajun who had provoked it.
