Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 21

Chapter 21: We’ll Take the Other Three

Zhang Can’er and the others were stunned for a moment. Then, a man walked up to the car, pulled open the door, and shouted, “Everyone, get the hell out!”

Xiao Feng was instantly enraged. “On what grounds? We found this car first!”

The man snorted coldly and pulled her out directly, without any courtesy.

Zhang Can’er frowned. Seeing the man about to pull her, she said, “I’ll get out myself.”

The man sneered and made way.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Can’er quickly ran to Xiao Feng’s side. “Are you okay?”

Xiao Feng shook her head, but the anger in her eyes didn’t diminish in the slightest; instead, it burned even brighter.

“Sister Can’er, are you confident you can burn all these people to death?”

Hearing Xiao Feng’s words, Zhang Can’er’s eyes widened in surprise. She took it as just angry words. “Don’t be rash. Let’s see what they want first.”

After Zhang Can’er got out of the car, the others followed. Xiao Hou and Xiao Hao consciously protected the girls behind them.

The man just glanced at them, said nothing, and then gestured for the people around him to get in the car. There were at least twenty of them, and an SUV couldn’t fit them all. So, when the car was full, there were still more than a dozen people left outside.

But the car didn’t move for a long time. Then the door opened, and the man walked over menacingly with a large machete, glaring at Zhang Can’er and the others. “Give me the car key.”

Hearing the man’s self-righteous words, the group’s anger grew even more. Xiao Hou was taller than the man. He looked down at the man with a disdainful gaze and said in a deep voice, “We don’t have it.”

The man didn’t believe him at all. With a casual gesture, a group of people surrounded them, trapping Zhang Can’er and the others in the middle.

“Don’t waste our time. Otherwise, my brothers here are going to get rough. They haven’t seen a woman in a long time,” the man said with a lecherous smile, his gaze fixed on Zhang Can’er like a predator, sizing her up.

Wan Feng stepped in front of Zhang Can’er, blocking the man’s gaze.

The man didn’t mind at all. One of his underlings next to him asked with a grin, “Boss, you can have the two prettiest ones. We’ll take the other three. I wonder if they can handle it. Let’s hope they don’t get played to death before we’ve had our fun, hahaha.”

After this underling spoke, the men surrounding them all laughed, their faces filled with lecherous grins, their eyes shamelessly sizing up Zhang Can’er and the others.

The foul language fueled the group’s anger even more. Xiao Feng was already conjuring a fireball, the flames in her palm burning fiercely, like their rage.

“We’re willing to give you the key, but you have to promise to let us go,” Zhang Can’er said, ignoring their words and staring at the man.

The man had a long scar on his face, running from the corner of his left eye to his right jawline. Whether he was smiling or not, he had a fierce look.

“Hmph, I suddenly don’t feel like letting you go anymore. We don’t want the car either. We just want to have a good time,” the man sneered.

Zhang Can’er frowned. “If you want a lose-lose situation, we can accompany you to the end!”

With that, she signaled for Xiao Feng to throw a fireball.

Xiao Feng nodded and, without anyone noticing, threw a fireball at the feet of the underling next to the man.

The underling instantly jumped up from the burn, and the few people next to him quickly helped him put out the fire on his pant leg.

The man’s eyes flashed with surprise for a moment. He hadn’t expected these women to actually dare to throw fire.

The expression on the man’s face changed several times. He gestured, and his brothers all moved behind him.

“Give us the key, and we’ll let you go.”

“Okay.” Zhang Can’er turned to look at Wan Feng, signaling for her to take out the key.

Wan Feng hesitated for a moment but still took out the key and placed it on the ground. Then she led the group back toward the kitchen.

After everyone was inside, they instantly closed the door. Through the glass on the door, they could observe the people in the garage.

The man personally went to pick up the key, looked up at them, and then turned and left.

The underling next to him who had been burned was a bit indignant. “Boss, why didn’t we just take care of them? Even if they have abilities, we do too.”

The man shot him a look and kicked him squarely in the butt. The underling instantly jumped up in pain.

“I told you to observe them before. Where were you looking? All you saw was that pretty babe’s eyes making passes at you. That woman is not ordinary. I still haven’t figured out what ability she used. You better behave and not cause trouble! You think I don’t want to have fun?” With that, the man got into the car, and his underlings followed.

After watching them all leave, Zhang Can’er and the others turned and went back to the living room upstairs.

“It’s a good thing we didn’t split up. Otherwise, if these people had picked us off one by one, we would have been in for a world of hurt,” Xiao An said with a look of relief, sitting on the floor.

“Pah! Even if I were alone, I could have killed those bastards! I’m so pissed! Fuck!” Xiao Feng kicked the wall in anger, her chest heaving.

“Alright, calm down. Have some water,” Zhang Can’er said gently, opening a bottle of mineral water and handing it to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng took the water and drank more than half of it. After calming down a bit, she looked at Zhang Can’er and asked, “Sister Can’er, why didn’t we fight them to the death? I can’t swallow this.”

“There’s no need. From the beginning, that man’s target wasn’t us, but the car. The things he said later were just to scare us. I guess their team also has people with skills. He didn’t want to cause any casualties at this time. It’s beneficial for both him and us. If he wanted to deal with us, he would have done it long ago. Why just surround us and not do anything? He was probably wary of us too.”

Zhang Can’er’s words calmed Xiao Feng down and also dissipated most of the anger of the others.

Indeed, no one wanted casualties in their own team. This was the best outcome.

“So, are we going to Uncle Yu’s house to find a car now?” Xiao An asked.

Zhang Can’er shook her head. “Since those people could get to the Lin family’s house so quickly, their base must be nearby. I guess it’s either Uncle Bo’s house next door or Uncle Yu’s house. So, we can’t go to Uncle Yu’s house.”

“Then who else has a car?” Xiao Feng asked with a frown.

“I know. Teacher Xiao Ling’s family. They just bought a new van. Because his wife needs to deliver goods, they spent money to buy one. When I went to buy wine for my dad, they even invited me over for a meal, saying it was to celebrate buying the car,” Xiao Hao said with a grin.

“What? You’ve been to Teacher Xiao Ling’s house for dinner?” Xiao Feng asked in surprise.

“Tsk, Xiao Hao, you’re not being honest,” Xiao An said, looking at him with disdain.

Xiao Hou immediately wrapped his arm around Xiao Hao’s neck and laughed. “Alright, you little Haozi. You went to Teacher Xiao Ling’s house for dinner and didn’t even tell us. Teacher Xiao Ling is so beautiful. People from inside and outside the village would deliberately walk the small path in front of her house just to catch a glimpse of her. And you, you had such a good thing happen and didn’t even tell us.”
