Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 130

Chapter 130: Are We Going to Start a War Against the Transmutants?

When they came in, Xiao Huan personally moved two chairs over and asked casually, “Where are your two teammates?”

Zhang Can’er raised her eyebrows. “You didn’t say to call them.”

Xiao Huan smiled apologetically. “I didn’t make it clear. You should still call them over. This matter is quite tricky.”

Zhang Can’er nodded, lifted her right hand, and tapped the watch on her wrist a few times. She replied, “Okay.”

Before long, Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan both arrived. The two of them had run over, so their breathing was a bit unsteady. They consciously stood behind Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng, waiting for the meeting to begin.

Seeing that everyone was there, Xiao Huan gave her subordinate a look. Those people began to distribute the documents. And Xiao Feng and the others, who were sitting next to Xiao Huan, had a hint of anger on their faces when they saw Zhang Can’er come in. But in the end, they didn’t say anything. Some things were better solved in private. This was the first lesson Xiao Feng and the others had learned when they were in a high position.

Zhang Can’er took the document and looked at it carefully. It said: Transmutant Elimination Plan.

Zhang Can’er thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. After looking at it a few more times, she finally confirmed that this plan was to eliminate the Transmutants.

She was the first to lose her composure. “Xiao Huan, are you overestimating us a bit too much?”

Xiao Huan glanced at Zhang Can’er’s surprised and angry expression and didn’t speak. She knew that she was too anxious, but if the Transmutants were not eliminated, humanity would have no hope of survival. She had received an unconfirmed piece of information that the black-robed people were trying to merge the Transmutants together.

If that were the case, and they succeeded, then all of them would have to die. So what if there was a sky island? There were no supplies, no food on it. It was like being trapped in a cage, waiting for death like livestock, without any hope.

And although the current island was almost finished with its research, it was very difficult to add anything to it. It could easily cause the island to collapse. In that case, their decades of hard work would be in vain.

Zhang Can’er looked at the silent Xiao Huan. She stood up straight, threw the document on the table, and was about to leave with Wan Feng.

“Miss Can!” Xiao Huan quickly walked over and blocked Zhang Can’er.

“What? Does Lord Xiao still want to use force?”

Xiao Huan’s brow furrowed tightly, and she sighed. “Can you sit down and listen to me finish? If you still want to leave after that, I won’t stop you.”

Zhang Can’er frowned and said with suppressed anger, “Fine. I’d like to see what you can come up with.”

After Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng had returned to their seats and sat down, Xiao Huan said in a deep voice, “I know that many people, at the first sight of this plan, will think that I’m being fanciful. Some will also be angry and think that I’m disregarding the lives of the soldiers and sending them to their deaths.”

“You all think that the Transmutants are far away from you, and you think that as long as they don’t threaten the main city and the military base, it’s fine. But you seem to have forgotten that the Transmutants are controlled by people. Even those Mutants were man-made. As long as it’s a person, you don’t know what she’s thinking. Maybe she will attack us at any time.”

At this point, Xiao Huan stopped. The people below began to express their opinions.

“If they attack, we can just defend, right? Anyway, there are so many ability users in the military base. Are we still afraid of them?”

“Exactly. If we take the initiative to attack now, what if they control the Mutants to come over at this time? Wouldn’t we be dead?”

“But I think Lord Xiao is right. It’s better to take the initiative to attack than to be passive, right? And if those remaining four Transmutants are not dealt with, it’s like a sword is always hanging over our heads, and it might fall down and give us a fatal blow at any time.”

“Old Yu is right. Although this plan looks very reckless, those Transmutants will have to be dealt with sooner or later. It’s better to take advantage of the fact that those black-robed people haven’t reacted and eliminate them in one fell swoop.”

“Heh, it’s easy for you to say. How many soldiers and bullets will it take to eliminate one Transmutant? Why don’t you do the math?”

“Aren’t there ability users?” The person who answered secretly glanced at Zhang Can’er and the others. The meaning was all too obvious.

Xiao Huan felt that it was about enough. She raised her hand and quieted everyone down. “I have carefully considered this plan. The number of Mutants has decreased in the past few nights. I’m sure you officers don’t need me to say more, right?”

“The decrease in the number of Mutants is very likely because something has happened. This matter is 90% unlikely to be a good thing for us. So eliminating the Transmutants is an urgent matter. If something else comes, then we’ll really be finished.”

“I know some people want to talk about the sky island. But it’s very difficult to add anything to the island now. A single mistake could cause it to collapse, and our decades of hard work will be in vain.”

“Even if we move all the things from the military base up, how long can we last? So we can only take a gamble and fight a bloody path! Only then can we survive! Only by surviving first can we do other things. Everything is for the sake of survival!”

After Xiao Huan finished speaking, many people followed and shouted “survive.” They were full of fighting spirit, extremely excited, and rubbing their fists.

Zhang Can’er saw it all. She had to say that Xiao Huan had some real skills to be able to sit in this position. The last few words had almost made her excited as well.

Fortunately, as soon as she thought that Xiao Huan would definitely ask them to join this plan, and that they might have to face various dangers at any time, she couldn’t get excited anymore, and couldn’t even smile.

She still remembered what Ru Xi had said. As long as the Transmutants and the Progenitors were all cleared, then this world would slowly recover. The remaining Mutants just needed to be killed.

And those black-robed people hiding in the dark would also appear when they were clearing the Transmutants, which would be a good opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

The idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. First of all, it was not easy to eliminate a Transmutant. Its skin was thick and its flesh was tough, so it was basically impossible to hurt it.

Although there was Ke Yajun’s chain, it could not be guaranteed that it would be useful against other Transmutants. What if it broke free? Wouldn’t they be screwed?

And Zhang Can’er always felt that the last Transmutant was a fool. It only knew how to smash the ground and sweep its tail, and was not as smart as Xiao Huan and the others had said.

If they encountered one that could run away and even knew how to lead them into a trap, this would be tricky. Would you chase it or not? If you didn’t, the Transmutant would run away. If you did, you would fall into a trap.

Zhang Can’er shook her head, trying to shake out all the messy guesses in her mind. In this situation, they had to join even if they didn’t want to.

She didn’t care what others said about her, but she couldn’t let the other three also bear the blame. Even if they didn’t care, she couldn’t get over it in her heart. In addition, they had indeed killed a Transmutant. It would really be inappropriate not to go.

Furthermore, Xiao Huan’s words were not without reason. They had to fight a bloody path. As long as the Transmutants were not eliminated, they were a time bomb that could blow them to smithereens at any time.
