Chapter 162: Wizards Planted People
When Zhang Can’er came to the canteen, she looked at the decreasing number of meat dishes, and her heart didn’t know what to feel.
And each meat dish was very expensive. Not to mention that ordinary people couldn’t afford it, even those soldiers who received a salary couldn’t afford it. They all had subsidies. Even so, the only meat dish they could afford was fish.
Zhang Can’er looked at a piece of fish that cost five hundred Starshine Coins. She bought a piece with a heartache, and then bought a small bowl of stir-fried beef.
All in all, she had spent tens of thousands in the canteen. If it weren’t for the thought of nourishing Wan Feng’s body, she really wouldn’t have come out to buy food.
Her Spirit Field was all vegetarian. Except for the various eggs, which could be considered a meat dish, there was basically nothing else.
It would take at least a month for the chickens, ducks, and geese to grow up, and it would also take time to stabilize after that. Anyway, there would be no meat to eat in the short term.
Zhang Can’er sighed. On the way back, her watch suddenly beeped a few times. Zhang Can’er opened it and took a look.
It was a message from Xiao Huan. ‘There are some new clues in the investigation. Do you want to come and see?’
‘I’ll come after I’ve eaten.’
‘Okay.’
When she returned to her residence, Zhang Can’er pulled Wan Feng out of bed. “Sister Feng, you can’t sleep anymore. If you sleep too much, you won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Wan Feng leaned on her shoulder and hummed, which was considered an answer.
In the end, Zhang Can’er had no choice but to use the kissing method to wake Wan Feng up.
Wan Feng’s breathing was not smooth. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Can’er doing bad things. She subconsciously pushed her away and muttered, “I can’t. If we do it again, I’ll get pregnant.”
Zhang Can’er said with a grin, “But Sister Feng is so beautiful. What can I do if I can’t help it?”
“No~”
“Mhm, no. Then shall we get up?”
“Mmm~”
Wan Feng followed Zhang Can’er to the washstand with half-closed eyes. The toothpaste was already squeezed, just waiting for Wan Feng to brush her own teeth.
But there was no movement for a long time. Zhang Can’er resignedly picked up the toothbrush, brushed Wan Feng’s teeth, and then personally washed her face.
When Wan Feng sat at the dining table with a yawn, she was still not fully awake. She didn’t move when she saw the food in front of her, her eyes not focusing on anything.
Zhang Can’er was afraid that she would fall into the food, so she just fed her first, and then ate herself.
After Wan Feng was full, she was in a daze for a while before she came to her senses. “Was Can’er waking me up?”
Looking at the dazed and somewhat cute Wan Feng, Zhang Can’er chuckled softly. “Yes, I was waking Sister Feng up.”
Wan Feng’s old face turned red. She recalled everything that had just happened. She had been taken care of by Zhang Can’er like a child. Zhang Can’er had even fed her.
She felt that she had no face to see anyone.
Zhang Can’er turned her head to see if Wan Feng was awake. Then she saw Wan Feng, who was covering her face and shrinking in a corner of the sofa. Looking at this, she was probably awake.
After eating, Zhang Can’er coaxed Wan Feng for a long time before she brought her out.
Wan Feng followed behind Zhang Can’er with a slightly red face, her eyes darting away from time to time, not daring to look directly at Zhang Can’er.
“Sister Feng, if you keep being shy, I’m going to kiss you,” Zhang Can’er said, turning around with a grin.
Wan Feng’s footsteps paused. She lowered her head and held Zhang Can’er’s hand tightly. “Can’er…”
The meaning of begging for mercy was very obvious. Zhang Can’er didn’t plan to really do anything. “Alright, I was just teasing you. Don’t be shy, okay? I don’t want others to see your blushing face.”
Wan Feng nodded, leaned into Zhang Can’er’s embrace, and after adjusting for a while, when she got up again, she had returned to the cold and indifferent assassin Wan Feng.
Zhang Can’er smiled. As expected, no matter which side of Wan Feng it was, her heart would be moved.
After entering the main building, someone led them to the conference room on the top floor. The people sitting inside were all familiar faces.
When Xiao Feng saw them, she immediately waved and jogged over. “Sister Can’er, Sister Feng, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you here for almost an hour.”
“I’m sorry, I just woke up.”
“Then hurry up and take your seats.”
Xiao Feng anxiously led Zhang Can’er to her seat. After they sat down, Xiao Huan also happened to look up. Her expression was a little serious, and she went straight to the point. “We suspect that wizards have been planted in the army, and more than one.”
Zhang Can’er raised her eyebrows. It was not good news that wizards had infiltrated the army. If they were to investigate, the action could not be too big, so as not to cause the soldiers to panic or to alert those wizards.
But what Zhang Can’er couldn’t figure out was, how did those wizards get in? And how did they replace the original soldiers? She knew that the army had not recruited any soldiers since the apocalypse broke out.
Zhang Can’er didn’t know the reason, but she could also guess some of it. New recruits would have to be trained for a period of time. It was impossible for them to go to the battlefield all at once.
Another reason was that the new recruits were uncontrollable. There were many troublemakers among them. In addition, they were not dealing with ordinary enemies. If there was any accident, it would be a disaster for those old soldiers.
And the cost of raising soldiers was also high. The five cities had all fallen, and only the main city was maintaining basic operations. It could not afford to support those new soldiers.
So, the ones in the army now were all old soldiers. If the wizards wanted to plant people in, they had to replace those old soldiers. Then the difficulty of investigating would not be too great.
“What do you think we should do to wipe out those wizards in one fell swoop?” Xiao Huan asked, holding the list in her hand and giving it to Tang Dongyun behind her.
Tang Dongyun then gave it to Shen Fanmeng and had her pass it down.
Zhang Can’er took the list and looked at it carefully. She asked with a puzzled expression, “Are you sure these are all of them?”
“The Golden Rope Connection of the Jin family wouldn’t be wrong, would it?”
Jin Fengqing’s hands, which were drinking tea, paused for a moment. Her mind was now only thinking about how to get close to Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng. When Xiao Huan suddenly mentioned the Golden Rope Connection, she was stunned for a moment.
“The Golden Rope Connection was, after all, the number one assassin organization in the past. It’s not a problem for them to gather intelligence,” Jin Fengqing said slowly.
Zhang Can’er looked at the tense little face of Jin Fengqing and suddenly wanted to laugh. When she had just come in, she had even nodded seriously, with the appearance of a little adult.
“The army now has about three hundred thousand people left. There are actually more than ten thousand wizards planted in it. This means that we have lost ten thousand troops without knowing it.”
Xiao Huan looked at the lists on the table, her eyes dark and unreadable, her emotions suppressed, as if it were the calm before a storm. The voice she spoke with was also terrifyingly low.
Xiao Feng said with a tight frown, “With ten thousand troops, if they are commanded properly, how many Mutants can be killed? Alas…”
“Does anyone have a good idea? How to wipe out these people in one fell swoop?”
Zhang Can’er didn’t want to use her brain. She leaned against Wan Feng’s embrace and listened to each person’s idea. She even felt a little sleepy.
“Miss Can?”
Zhang Can’er lifted her head. Seeing that everyone’s gaze was on her, she immediately sat up straight. “I don’t have a solution, but there must be an item that connects the wizards. You can start from here.”
“An item that connects?” Xiao An lowered her head in thought for a moment, then said excitedly, “If we can break the connection between the wizards, then we can kill them one by one. With our ability, ten thousand people in one night is not a problem.”
