Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 138

Chapter 138: Get Ready, a War is About to Start

Wan Feng was also seeing this kind of Zhang Can’er for the first time. She turned her head to look at the person who was slowly drinking tea, her gaze slowly moving down. It was still that gentle face, a pair of peach blossom eyes that were endearing, and her slightly curled lips had a hint of mockery.

But Wan Feng knew that Zhang Can’er’s temperament had changed. It was a kind of pressure that was unconsciously revealed when negotiating with others.

She thought of how Zhang Can’er had stopped studying after finishing junior high before the apocalypse and had gone to learn how to catch fish and shrimp with others. But just being able to catch them was useless. She also had to know how to sell them. Her words had to be smooth, and her mind had to react even faster.

Afterward, she started a business in medicinal herbs. She probably had slowly accumulated this pressure during this process. Maybe Zhang Can’t herself hadn’t even noticed.

Wan Feng looked at Zhang Can’er with some infatuation. Her pair of fox eyes lingered on Zhang Can’er, feeling that it was not enough.

Zhang Can’er didn’t notice. She looked at Peng Zezhi and asked, “Does Commander Peng think that the soldiers’ lives are not lives? Has Commander Peng not thought at all about what he will encounter when he enters Starfall City?”

Peng Zezhi was a little out of breath from her imposing manner. He pretended to naturally pick up the teacup on the table and took a shallow sip, only then did he feel much more comfortable.

“I think that wizard has probably already retreated. They must have already given up on this Transmutant. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used it as bait. Since they couldn’t kill you, they wouldn’t delay. They probably have to go back and arrange for the remaining three Transmutants. So I think there is no danger in Starfall City.”

Peng Zezhi stared at the teacup in his hand and didn’t dare to look at Zhang Can’er at all. There was no trace of the previous arrogance.

Zhang Can’er chuckled softly. “If I were a wizard, even if I were in a hurry, I would still do a good job of cleaning up. At the very least, I wouldn’t let you kill the Transmutant so cheaply. After all, the number of Transmutants is not large, and it probably took a lot of resources to make them. How could I let you solve it so easily?”

Peng Zezhi once again felt a wave of pressure. He forced a smile and echoed, “Director Zhang is right.”

Zhang Can’er glanced at him and said in a low voice, “It’s best for the soldiers not to go in. We haven’t figured out how powerful this Transmutant is yet. So even if we have to fight, we can’t fight in the city. A single large hand of the Transmutant can send metal blocks flying. How can the soldiers withstand these?”

“You arrange for people to set up an ambush on the mountains on both sides of that canyon. At that time, we will notify you to act. Don’t let the soldiers make any sound, and don’t move around casually. Just throw the vegetables in your hands. After you’ve thrown them, go down the mountain. Don’t linger.”

After hearing this, Chen Li frowned and looked at Zhang Can’er. “What about you?”

“We will naturally go to attract the Transmutant and then kill it.”

Chen Li was a little disapproving. “Director, at least let the soldiers have a use.”

Zhang Can’er raised an eyebrow and said in a light and cheerful voice, “I want you to come, not to send you to your deaths. That huge Transmutant is not something those soldiers can withstand. There’s no need to hit a stone with an egg. Your real use is to throw vegetables. This way, not only can the Transmutant be injured, but it can also ensure that the soldiers will not suffer casualties.”

“But…”

Zhang Can’er waved her hand and told Chen Li to shut up. “If you want credit, I’ll just say a few good words for you. I guarantee you’ll be rewarded.”

Chen Li was instantly enraged. “Am I that kind of person who only knows about credit? I’m worried about you. What if you get injured and I don’t find out in time? At least let me be by your side.”

Looking at the angry Chen Li, Zhang Can’er held Wan Feng’s hand and smiled. “No need. If you’re with us, you’ll be a big third wheel. I’ll have to avoid you even if I want to kiss Sister Feng. That’s too painful. No, no.”

Chen Li was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had heard such a refusal. She was so angry that she laughed. “Do as you please.”

With that, she went out of the conference room tent. Peng Zezhi also quickly followed. He had no objection to Zhang Can’er’s arrangement. It was best not to let his soldiers participate. It would save him from having to use medicine later. The medicinal herbs in this apocalypse were rare, scarce, and ridiculously expensive. The money was spent like water. At that time, if he wanted to use money to do something else, he would have to weigh it.

Zhang Can’er and the others also went out. On the way, Ke Yajun praised the Zhang Can’er from the conversation just now to the sky.

This made Zhang Can’er a little embarrassed. “It’s not as exaggerated as you say.”

“How is it not? Didn’t you see that Peng Zezhi was so suppressed by your imposing manner that he didn’t even dare to speak loudly? How could he dare to shout at you like before? Sister Can is so cool!”

After hearing Ke Yajun’s words, Zhang Can’er recalled the details of before. It was really as Ke Yajun had said. Peng Zezhi had not said much later, and there was no arrogance in his voice.

The group returned to their tent, packed the things they needed to prepare, and then Zhang Can’er distributed a few Healing Beans, so that the other three could eat one in a crisis to save their lives.

Today, she had prepared what needed to be prepared. At the very least, she had to ensure that tomorrow’s plan could proceed smoothly.

Seeing that there was ample time, Zhang Can’er went to call Chen Li and Peng Zezhi and had them take the soldiers to walk through the two sides of the canyon.

The mountains on both sides of the canyon were not very far apart, but they could barely accommodate the Transmutant. The path in the middle was rarely traveled, so the vegetation was lush.

Looking down from the mountain, one could see that the vegetation below was integrated with the earth. A green dragon meandered upward, with no end in sight.

Zhang Can’t looked at the distance between the two sides and discussed with Chen Li, “Later, let’s clean up the trees and vegetation here a little. Calculate the width of the Transmutant and see where it’s better for the soldiers to stand. Are you planning to let Peng Zezhi manage the other side?”

Chen Li nodded. “Mhm, the other side will be given to Peng Zezhi, and this side will be given to me. So that old bastard won’t bother me with some trivial matters again.”

Zhang Can’er chuckled softly. “You’re getting more and more open. You actually dare to say such things in front of me.”

Chen Li touched her nose and chuckled. “Isn’t it because it’s very easy to get along with Sister Can? That old bastard is so arrogant every day, as if everyone is his subordinate. Someone should come and teach him a lesson.”

“You’re not even calling him Director anymore?” Zhang Can’er raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

“Tsk, Director, Director every day. It’s so distant.”

Chen Li’s change was a bit fast. Zhang Can’er couldn’t help but be on guard. Could it be that this person was trying to dig a hole for her?

Chen Li seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said in a deep voice, “You are the most unpretentious person I have ever seen. Whether it’s to me or those soldiers, you treat them with courtesy. So I am willing to recognize you as the director and also want to be your friend. Sister Can, more friends, more paths. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future.”

Zhang Can’er squinted her eyes and sized her up for a while, smiled, and did not respond.

As for Chen Li, Xiao Feng had only said four words: cunning and calculating.

Zhang Can’er didn’t know what this person wanted to get from her, but she was definitely with a purpose. She didn’t like this kind of person very much. It was fine as long as they were not close friends.
