Chapter 124: Saving the Little Brat
It was now past eight in the evening. Many of the soldiers below were not asleep yet, and many houses still had their lights on.
Zhang Can’er’s group of four decided to split up, each taking a district. This way, the inspection would be much faster.
And now the mechanical bird could not be released. Where would a bird come from in the middle of the night? Besides, the sky island hadn’t even let any creatures in yet. This bird would clearly be a problem.
So it was best for them to do it themselves and just have the bird assist them.
An hour later, Zhang Can’er landed on the roof of the main city. This was their designated meeting point. According to the time, the others should be arriving soon.
So Zhang Can’er sat on the roof, watching the time pass, second by second. Fortunately, the others arrived one after another.
But Zhuang Jiayuan’s expression was not right, and Ke Yajun’s expression was also not right. Zhang Can’er frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you two? Why are your brows furrowed so deeply? Did something happen?”
Zhuang Jiayuan opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to start. After hesitating for a long time, she didn’t say a single word.
Ke Yajun also didn’t know how to start, but the matter was a bit urgent, so she pulled Zhang Can’er away without a word.
This made Wan Feng stunned for a moment, and she quickly chased after them. Zhuang Jiayuan also followed, her brow furrowed even more.
By the time Ke Yajun had brought Zhang Can’er to a floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Can’er knew what was going on.
The three big men inside were smiling wickedly at a six or seven-year-old little girl. And beside the little girl were two boys who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.
They were trying their best to protec the little girl in the middle.
Looking at their skills, they should have practiced before. But how could their strength compare to that of adults? The three men were teasing them like they were teasing little chicks.
On a sofa not far away sat a woman with a cold and clear face. She was calmly drinking the tea in her hand, and from time to time, she would squint her eyes and enjoy it, as if the group of people in front of her was not there, but a symphony orchestra.
But what was even calmer than her was the little girl sitting in the middle of the group. She just sat there, with no expression on her face, as if the people surrounding her were not people, but inanimate objects.
There was no childlike innocence in her eyes either. There was only a ruthlessness and indifference that should not appear at her age.
Zhang Can’er looked at this scene, her brow slightly furrowed. She didn’t know what was going on, but her intuition told her that this little girl was not ordinary. Anyway, she was quite similar to Wan Feng.
It wasn’t that they looked alike, but that their temperament was too similar. Her appearance was as cold as ice, and her eyes were even colder, as if they were hiding ice daggers. Just one look would make people feel as if the ice daggers were shooting toward them, and in an instant, they would feel as if they were in a world of ice and snow.
This was also why Xiao Feng and the others had misunderstood Wan Feng before. Because apart from Zhang Can’er who could see the warm sun in her eyes, others could only see frost and indifference.
This was an unchangeable, naturally formed habit. When facing strangers, she was distant and polite, and would not have much interaction.
Only with Zhang Can’er was it different. From the very beginning, there was physical contact, and even her emotions could be easily swayed by Zhang Can’er. How did she look like a cold and ruthless assassin?
She was more like a warm-hearted older sister, leading Zhang Can’er step by step to survive in the apocalypse.
The four of them exchanged a look, all wanting to know what the others were thinking. To save or not to save?
“Sister Can, I want to save them,” Ke Yajun couldn’t stand this kind of scene. She also knew that the little girl was not right, but after all, she was a child, and there were also two children being beaten. She couldn’t just turn a blind eye.
“Sister Can, I also want to,” Zhuang Jiayuan’s eyes held a plea, wanting Zhang Can’er to agree.
She knew that now was not the right time to expose themselves, but this matter had a bit too much of an impact on her.
Zhang Can’er looked at Wan Feng, and Wan Feng also looked at her, and said softly, “If you don’t want to interfere, then don’t. If you want to, I’ll do it.”
Wan Feng’s words warmed Zhang Can’er’s heart. She smiled and said, “I want to interfere, but you can’t appear. Only I can. We have to make them think that only one person has come in this time. You have to take Yajun and Jiayuan to save those hostages. Sister Feng, don’t argue with me, okay?”
Wan Feng’s brow furrowed tightly, and a storm brewed in her eyes as she stared at Zhang Can’er. She said word by word, “If you dare to get hurt, I’ll… I’ll have you for it!”
She couldn’t say anything harsh to Zhang Can’er. At most, she could only threaten her.
Zhang Can’er smiled and kissed her on the face, her sparkling eyes staring at Wan Feng. “My wife is the best to me.”
Wan Feng covered her almost infatuated eyes, lowered her head, and kissed those pink lips. It was not a long kiss, just a light touch.
“Be careful. Don’t get hurt, understand?”
“Mhm, you too. Don’t get hurt.”
Seeing the two of them still reluctant to part, Ke Yajun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She saw that the three men inside had beaten the two little boys until their faces were bruised and swollen. They looked like they were about to be beaten to death.
She floated over and directly pulled Wan Feng away. “Oh my, when can’t you talk about love? Don’t you know what the situation is now? You’re still wasting time here. Sister Can, we believe in you. I’ll take Sister Feng and leave first. We’ll come back to help you after we’re done.”
Zhang Can’er chuckled softly, looked at Wan Feng’s reluctant gaze, waved her hand, and then turned and directly threw a Venom Lettuce over.
The glass of the floor-to-ceiling window directly melted by more than half, and the outer floor was also corroded a lot.
Zhang Can’er wanted to make it quick. She flew in and then used the electric baton that Wan Feng had given her, one person per baton.
While the three men were controlled, she picked up the little girl and carried the two little boys on her back, then flew out of the window.
Her movements were very fast. Those people didn’t even see her, and the children were saved by her.
And the woman who had been calmly drinking tea was no longer calm. After the window was corroded, she had hidden and had been observing in the dark.
But she couldn’t see anything at all. She only knew that her subordinates had been beaten, and the children had also disappeared inexplicably.
After the sound was gone, the woman quickly picked up the alarm. Instantly, the alarm sounded in the small military base, and all the soldiers were on alert.
Zhang Can’er had already flown to the high mountain. Looking at the soldiers who were searching for her, her heart was very calm. To be honest, with her current strength, even if she killed all the people in the entire small military base, it would not be a problem.
It was just a little troublesome, but not impossible to kill.
But Zhang Can’er felt that this was a bit too cruel. Unless it was a last resort, she would not kill.
The three children were not seriously injured. Zhang Can’er had Healing Beans, and the two little boys knew how to protect their weak points, so their injuries were not serious. One Healing Bean could solve it.
They couldn’t stay on the high mountain. Zhang Can’er was preparing to go a little further away.
But the little girl suddenly asked, “Why did you save us?”
Zhang Can’er was not invisible now. Hearing the little girl’s voice, she turned to look at her and smiled. “What do you think?”
