Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 14

Chapter 14: Sister Feng, Do You Think It’s Feasible?

Although the others didn’t speak, it was clear they were also quite angry.

Zhang Can’er didn’t know how to persuade them. She hadn’t expected Wan Feng to hide such a major thing from them.

No wonder, she thought, there were so many Mutants on this road, and two Progenitors at that.

Wan Feng kept her head down, silent. She knew that once she revealed this matter, it would definitely provoke their anger. But she couldn’t just watch these people go to their deaths. Even if she was a ruthless assassin who was used to life and death, it didn’t mean she could watch the people around her go to their deaths.

Her heart wasn’t that hard yet. Besides, she was a person who followed her heart.

The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat stagnant, making Zhang Can’er a bit nervous. She was afraid that Xiao Feng and the others would grab Wan Feng and beat her up. She didn’t know what to do now.

“I will get you to Starshine City safely,” Wan Feng suddenly said.

“We don’t need it!” Xiao Feng snorted coldly. Sitting in her seat, her breathing was still a bit unsteady, clearly not having recovered from her anger.

Zhang Can’er walked over and gently patted her on the back, trying to help her calm down.

Xiao Feng looked up at her, her eyes softening a bit. She said gently, “Sister Can’er, can we not be with her anymore?”

Zhang Can’er was in a difficult position. Although Wan Feng had nearly cut off their path, from Wan Feng’s perspective, there was nothing wrong with what she did. Moreover, she had been the one protecting them all along. When they were trapped under the car earlier, it was Wan Feng’s decision to throw out all the remaining fish pieces, which allowed them to survive.

“Everyone, calm down. She has helped a lot along the way. Without her, we might not have been able to get through,” Zhang Can’er persuaded softly.

“Without her, would we have encountered those dangers? We might have already driven away long ago,” Xiao Hou retorted.

“Xiao Hou,” Zhang Can’er frowned, her eyes filled with difficulty.

“Sister Can’er, why are you protecting her so much? Do you really like her?” Xiao Hou couldn’t hold back his thoughts and blurted them out.

Zhang Can’er was stunned for a moment, then her eyes filled with simmering anger. “What nonsense are you talking about? Is that the kind of person I am in your heart?”

Seeing Zhang Can’er’s angry expression, the others all pulled at Xiao Hou, telling him to stop talking.

Xiao Hou was actually a bit afraid of Zhang Can’er. Seeing her angry, he immediately lowered his head, knowing that he had spoken without thinking.

“I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Then what did you mean? Is now the time to talk about this? Even if I did like Wan Feng, would I abandon you all for her? What’s more, I don’t have any feelings for her. If I hear you say something like that again, our friendship ends here.”

Zhang Can’er’s words made everyone’s heart tremble. They quickly reprimanded Xiao Hou and then told him to apologize.

“Sister Can’er, I’m sorry. You know I sometimes speak without thinking. Please forgive me this time,” Xiao Hou said in a low voice, occasionally glancing up at Zhang Can’er.

This time, Zhang Can’er was truly angry. She and Xiao Hou had grown up together. Their bond needed no explanation. But she hadn’t expected Xiao Hou to distrust her so much, even thinking that she was helping Wan Feng only because she liked her.

She wasn’t entirely sure how capable Wan Feng was yet, but she was definitely more capable than any of them. Even if they drove to Starshine City, they might not arrive safely. With Wan Feng around, she could at least feel a bit more at ease. She wanted Wan Feng to come along to make them safer, hoping that everyone could reach Starshine City in one piece.

Zhang Can’er stared at Xiao Hou for a moment, then looked away. Words spoken are like water spilled; they had also cut a wound in Zhang Can’er’s heart. It would probably be impossible to return to their previous relationship.

“Stay out of my sight for a while. Try to avoid me. I don’t want to see you right now.”

Xiao Hou looked up at Zhang Can’er. He knew he had made a big mistake, so he nodded, turned, and walked behind the others.

Xiao Feng walked to Zhang Can’er’s side and took her hand. “Don’t be angry. Come and discuss with us what to do next.”

Zhang Can’er nodded. “What are you all thinking?”

“We still want to find a car. Xiao An said she knows a mountain road that very few people know about. She discovered it by accident when she was looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains. The road there is very wide, wide enough for at least two cars to travel side by side.”

“Do you know where that road leads?”

“No. At the time, Xiao An only walked along it for a short distance. But according to her guess, it should be Starfall Village. Once we reach Starfall Village, we won’t be far from Starshine City.”

Zhang Can’er hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wan Feng, who had been silent all this time. She reached out and patted her lightly. “Sister Feng, do you think it’s feasible?”

Wan Feng paused, then turned her head to look at her. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Where is that mountain road?”

Xiao Feng glanced at her and said awkwardly, “It’s inside the Continuous Mountains.”

Wan Feng frowned. “The Continuous Mountains…”

Seeing her deep in thought with her head lowered, Zhang Can’er couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Hearing her voice, Wan Feng came back to her senses. Her tone was a bit heavy as she said, “I remember the Federation found people from the Lingxi Federation in the Continuous Mountains back then. That road was built by the Federation to search for the Lingxi Federation people. This matter was assigned to Starshine City’s Lord, Shen Fanmeng. I was even sent to search there at the time, but…”

“But what?” Zhang Can’er asked quickly.

Wan Feng glanced at her, her voice low. “There are wolves in the Continuous Mountains. I’m afraid these wolves have also mutated. If that’s the case, we’d be walking right into a trap.”

“There are wolves? How come I didn’t know? I often go to the mountains to gather herbs, and I’ve never seen a single wolf,” Xiao An said, puzzled.

“You’ve probably never been into the deep mountains. That road passes through the deep mountains. I encountered them during my first search mission. The wolf pack had at least twenty wolves. If I hadn’t had a gun with me at the time and injured the alpha wolf, I probably would have died there.”

Wan Feng’s voice was calm and casual, as if she were talking about what she had eaten today.

But the others’ hearts sank when they heard this. So many wolves, if they had all mutated, it would truly be a dead end. Plus, they didn’t have guns. Dealing with these agile animals would probably be impossible.

“But we have to at least try, right? If it doesn’t work, we can just drive back,” Xiao An said.

Zhang Can’er frowned, not quite agreeing to go. But seeing the others all looking at her expectantly, she sighed. “Do you all really want to go and try?”

The group nodded eagerly.

Zhang Can’er knew they were anxious and wanted to reach Starshine City as soon as possible. If they walked, it would take them a lot of time.

Walking from Phantom Star Village to Starshine City would take at least half a month, and the road was not safe; there would be danger at any time.

“Alright, we’ll go to the Continuous Mountains. But let’s agree in advance: all future actions must be decided by Sister Feng. No one can act on their own.”
