Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 137

Chapter 137: Enlightening Little Can Can with a Single Sentence

“I have a plan. Let’s do this…”

By the time the two of them came out of the conference room after their discussion, it was already past one in the afternoon.

They hadn’t even had lunch yet and were almost fainting from hunger.

Ability users ate a lot and got hungry fast, so it was not easy to support such a group of people.

Zhang Can’er casually got some food from the camp’s kitchen, then brought it to her tent, and she and Wan Feng wolfed it down.

Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan woke up at a little past one in the morning. As soon as they woke up, they remembered what they had done before.

They were almost too ashamed to face anyone.

When Zhang Can’er came over in the morning, the two of them had already helped each other take a bath. The soldiers had not left their side for a moment, for fear that they would run away.

Even if the two of them tried their best to explain, it was useless. The director’s order could not be violated and must be strictly enforced.

Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan were helpless and could only let them be.

After taking a bath and changing the sheets and quilt covers, by the time Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng came over, the two of them were already waiting for them, clean.

Zhang Can’er came in and looked at the clean room, raised her eyebrows, and smiled. “You’re awake?”

Ke Yajun and Zhuang Jiayuan both lowered their heads and didn’t speak, looking like children who had made a mistake.

“Are you mute? Speak.”

Ke Yajun looked up at her and stammered, “I’m… I’m awake…”

“Tell me how you feel.”

Ke Yajun thought for a moment and said, “It was like a dream. Someone had arranged a play, and then I was unknowingly brought into it. In the end, I was really immersed in it and became a part of the play.”

“The play we were in was like the plot of those costume dramas. You were the rebels who were plotting against the emperor, and we were the emperor’s most valued subordinates. We didn’t expect to fall into your trap and be caught by you in a secret room.”

“When we were immersed in the play, the scene in front of us was very real, very different from reality. It was a bit like Jiayuan’s illusion, but also different. The illusion would repeat, but this play would really kill people. Maybe some people were still in the play when they died.”

Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng exchanged a look. They always felt that this was not a control skill, but more like a bewitching skill. Perhaps the term “actor” would be more appropriate.

“To make people immersed in a play and even make the scene more real, isn’t her skill a bit too powerful?” Zhang Can’er said with some emotion.

Ke Yajun glanced at her and muttered, “Your skill is on par with hers. Comparing people is really infuriating.”

“What are you muttering about?”

Ke Yajun’s body trembled. “Nothing, nothing.”

Zhang Can’er didn’t mind. She took out a Healing Bean and handed it to her. “Eat it.”

Then she handed another one to Zhuang Jiayuan.

After the two of them had eaten, Zhang Can’er had the soldiers who were guarding outside go back.

“I’ll tell you about the plan, so you won’t be in the dark later.”

“What plan?”

“The plan to deal with the Transmutant in Starfall City. Since that group of wizards has arranged so much, first a trap and then explosives, one ring after another, each ring wanting to kill us, then I won’t be so polite to them.”

Zhang Can’er spoke with passion, her eyes burning with anger, a look of wanting to give that group of wizards a good show.

But Ke Yajun said coolly, “Sister Can, do you think they will continue if they didn’t kill you this time? If I were that wizard, if this plan failed, I would definitely not come and fight you head-on again, unless there is a next plan.”

Zhang Can’er was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and understood the connection.

If the wizard failed to kill her, there were only two paths to take: one was to retreat, and the other was to execute the next plan.

If it was to execute the next plan, then Zhang Can’er’s arrangement might succeed.

But if it was to retreat, then she would very likely waste a lot of resources and then come up empty. In the end, she might only have killed one Transmutant and not gotten any news, and also destroyed Starfall City. No matter how she thought about it, she was the one who would lose.

Since they dared to use the Transmutant as bait, then they didn’t care if this Transmutant lived or died. According to the previous wizard’s interlocking plan, Zhang Can’er felt that this person was very likely to retreat.

If that were the case, then she would be like a reckless fool, leading her own subordinates to their deaths.

Who knew what arrangements the wizard had made in Starfall City after she left? To rashly lead people into the city, they might not be able to get out.

Even if she was very capable, she couldn’t protect so many people.

After Zhang Can’er had figured it out, she quickly turned and went out. Wan Feng followed closely behind her.

In the conference room, Chen Li and Peng Zezhi walked in in a hurry. The two of them looked like they had come in a hurry.

“Director Zhang, what’s so urgent that you have to have us come over at this time?” Peng Zezhi said with a bad temper as soon as he came up.

Chen Li did not speak and stood on the side, waiting for Zhang Can’er to explain.

Zhang Can’er did not waste any words and said directly, “Last night’s plan is canceled.”

Chen Li looked up, her eyes showing confusion. Peng Zezhi, on the other hand, was so angry that he slammed the table and said angrily, “I’ve already arranged for the people. You’re canceling it just like that?”

Zhang Can’er looked at him coldly and sneered. “Why is Commander Peng so angry? The soldiers haven’t even set off, and many things haven’t been prepared. It’s not a big deal to cancel it, right?”

Peng Zezhi snorted coldly. “The director’s plan last night was clearly well-arranged. Why was it suddenly canceled? Are you playing with us?!”

Zhang Can’er was too lazy to argue with him and rolled her eyes at him. “It was indeed a bit hasty to suddenly cancel it, but the reason…”

After an explanation, Chen Li and Peng Zezhi both fell silent.

The two of them sat in their seats and thought for a long time. It was Chen Li who nodded first. “I very much agree with what Director Zhang said. If that’s the case, then I wonder what plan Director Zhang has?”

Zhang Can’er took a sip of tea and chuckled softly. “What strategy does Commander Chen have?”

Chen Li was silent for a moment, then said with a frown, “If that wizard really retreats, I think it’s better for the soldiers not to enter the city. Perhaps we can lure the Transmutant out of the city with gunshots from a distance, and then tie it up with chains and take it down in one fell swoop.”

Zhang Can’er nodded, but she didn’t say whether she agreed or not.

Chen Li didn’t understand her thoughts, so she didn’t say any more.

Peng Zezhi, who was on the side, suddenly spoke, “Why do we need to think so much? We can just go in and tie up the Transmutant and kill it. Anyway, our purpose is to kill the Transmutant. We can talk about other things later.”

Zhang Can’er squinted her eyes and sized up Peng Zezhi. She was now very suspicious of how this person had become a commander. It was very difficult to get to this position with just his own martial strength. He couldn’t have gotten there without some brains.

At the very least, he had to have the talent to lead troops.

“Commander Peng has really impressed me,” Zhang Can’er chuckled softly. The laughter echoed in the small conference room, not making people feel happy, but rather, a strange sense of oppression.

It was the first time Ke Yajun had seen such a creepy Zhang Can’er. She couldn’t help but shrink into Zhuang Jiayuan’s arms.
