Chapter 172: The Wizards’ Surprise Attack
“Then what about installing the device in that passage?” Wan Feng asked.
Zhang Can’er’s eyes lit up. She looked up at her with some joy. “We can give it a try. Yajun, you see if there are any more passages behind those walls. If there are, we’ll lead the Transmutant to smash them open.”
Ke Yajun nodded and went with Zhuang Jiayuan.
But as soon as they got up, footsteps were heard from the entrance of the cave, and there were also conversation sounds.
“They must still be inside. Search for them! We must find them. We can’t let them kill Number Two again.”
It was a man’s voice. As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of wizards in black robes came in through the entrance of the cave. But the Transmutant paid no attention to them and was still wandering around, occasionally hitting the walls, looking as if it wanted to get out.
Zhang Can’er and the others stayed where they were, motionless. She was a little annoyed. She knew that they had sneaked out. She shouldn’t have placed the robot at the entrance of the laboratory. Wasn’t this just alerting the enemy?
This group of wizards had really come at a bad time. Although Zhang Can’er could kill them all, killing people was still different from killing Mutants. Mainly, she couldn’t get over it in her heart.
And who knew if there were other wizards outside? What if they encountered a control skill like before? Those few seconds of dizziness would be enough to give them a hard time.
So it was better not to act rashly now. But that’s what Zhang Can’er and the others were thinking. It didn’t mean that Lin Yuecheng would think so.
Ever since her ability had become stronger and stronger, Lin Yuecheng had started to be unrestrained. After traveling through various time and space, she had started all kinds of flashy moves. Anyway, the villains in every time and space hated her very much. She didn’t hurt people, but she was annoying.
Looking at the group of wizards who had poured in, Lin Yuecheng appeared in front of them with a smile.
And that group of wizards, as soon as they saw a person, they went up. Because they were just following orders to capture people. As for whether the person was right or not, that had nothing to do with them.
But when the hundred-plus wizards swarmed up, they all stopped in an instant. Lin Yuecheng gave Qiao Yue a look, wanting her to help.
Qiao Yue rolled her eyes and said two words without a sound: “No.”
Lin Yuecheng was helpless and had to put in some effort.
When she teleported to the entrance of the cave, she saw several black-robed people, all of whom only had a pair of eyes exposed, which seemed to be a little different from the ones below who were only wearing hats.
The black-robed person standing in the very middle, when she looked at Lin Yuecheng, her eyes shot out a frosty coldness.
A hint of interest flashed in Lin Yuecheng’s eyes. She slightly increased the pressure of her mental power, and the other black-robed people all held their heads in pain and fell to the ground, rolling back and forth.
And the wizard in the middle just squatted down, holding her head. Beads of sweat dripped on the ground. She couldn’t understand why someone would be immune to her control. Who was this person? Why could she suppress her own skill?
But no matter how many questions she had, the most important thing now was to escape. Unfortunately, she had met Lin Yuecheng. It was impossible to escape.
And the four of them, Zhang Can’er, looking at this situation, once again felt the terror of Lin Yuecheng. It was a good thing that they had not become enemies. Otherwise, they would have really been dead.
By the time they flew to the entrance of the cave, Lin Yuecheng had already hung all the people up. Hmm, hung up, in the physical sense.
A large iron pillar as thick as an arm had been nailed into the ceiling. A person was hanging under each pillar. These people were all gagged, and they all looked as if they had been tortured, on the verge of death.
Zhang Can’er blinked her eyes, a little unsure of what to say.
Lin Yuecheng said cheekily, “How about it? Your sworn enemies have all been hung up and beaten by me. Are you satisfied?”
“Let me kill them!” Wan Feng looked up at the wizards. It was this group of people who had brought the Mutants to this world, and it was also them who had researched the Transmutants.
How many people had lost their lives, their lovers, their families because of them? Although she didn’t care about others, her heart ached for Zhang Can’er. It was because of them that Zhang Can’er had to come out and take risks.
In order to have a peaceful life in the future, she had to become a hero.
Lin Yuecheng stood in front of Wan Feng, the smile on her face fading. “These people can’t die. If you kill them now, I’ll be the one to suffer. The main reason is because of me that you can kill them, not that you’ve really defeated them.”
That was all she said. Lin Yuecheng didn’t say any more.
Zhang Can’er seemed to have understood something. This was very much like a book, with a protagonist and a villain. No matter which side died because of someone, that person would probably suffer, because the plot of the whole book would collapse. What this world would become would be unpredictable.
So now, in their world, Lin Yuecheng was that person. She might have some restrictions and could not act recklessly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Can’er was relieved. Lin Yuecheng probably wouldn’t kill them. After all, they were the main force against the wizards. Maybe they were the protagonists, or the key figures. Anyway, Lin Yuecheng definitely wouldn’t dare to touch them.
Her heart relaxed a little, and she was not so on guard against Lin Yuecheng. But Wan Feng felt that now was the chance. If she killed the main force of the wizards early, then Zhang Can’er would have to work a little less.
She did not delve into Lin Yuecheng’s words, so the two of them started to fight just like that.
Zhang Can’er held her forehead. How could Wan Feng beat Lin Yuecheng? It was just because Lin Yuecheng didn’t want to hurt her, so she had been dodging all this time.
“Sister Feng! You stop,” Zhang Can’er stopped Wan Feng. “Sister Feng, don’t be anxious. These people will be dealt with by us sooner or later. Don’t be anxious.”
Wan Feng’s breathing was a little chaotic. She lowered her head and said coldly, “Is Can’er also stopping me? Isn’t it a good thing to kill these people early? Why do we have to leave it for later? You have to take risks because of them. I’m very worried that something will happen to us every time. Isn’t it good to solve them early?”
“But with our current strength, we can’t solve them. Without Miss Lin, we might not even have shown ourselves today, and might have even run away directly. Think carefully about what Miss Lin just said,” Zhang Can’er said, touching Wan Feng’s face, as if coaxing her, and explained softly.
Wan Feng lowered her head, a mist in her eyes. She leaned against Zhang Can’er’s embrace, silently asking for comfort.
For Wan Feng, she had been an assassin for so many years and knew when was the best time. Now was the time. But what Zhang Can’er had said was also very right.
With a little deep thought about this matter, she knew that the consequences were something she could not bear. If the world collapsed because of this, many people would disappear forever because of Wan Feng’s decision.
Wan Feng herself could not care, but Zhang Can’er could not not care. She could not let Wan Feng become that kind of selfish person.
