Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 34

Chapter 34: Sky Island

Wan Feng led the group through several houses. Finally, in a house at the center, they found two Mutants that were as quiet as the ones in the other house.

This time, the group was more careful. But before they could get close, the Mutants lunged at them.

With no other choice, Zhang Can’er could only pin them down first, then have Xiao Hou throw ice balls to freeze them.

Only then did the group dare to approach and observe.

They had sprayed a lot of perfume on themselves, which basically covered up their human scent, but these two Mutants didn’t seem to be affected.

Wan Feng observed for a while. Seeing that the ice on the Mutants was melting, she signaled for Xiao Feng to throw a fireball.

Zhang Can’er was afraid that Xiao Feng’s fireball wouldn’t be enough to kill them, so she followed up with a few more Fire Chili Seeds.

The group returned to the roof and discussed what they had just seen.

“I saw red blood streaks in their eyes, and very small red pupils,” Xiao Feng said, looking up as she recalled.

“I feel like they’re taller. Anyway, they’re taller than the initial Mutants. And their ears have become pointed. Also, the way they lunged just now was like a frog,” Xiao An added from the side.

“Me, me, me! I found that their blood is green!” Xiao Hou said excitedly.

The group all looked at him with some confusion. They hadn’t used any knives down there just now, and the ground in that house was covered in dark red blood. The two Mutants were also covered in red blood. Where did Xiao Hou see green blood?

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xiao Hou smiled foolishly and scratched his head. “Just now, down there, I saw Sister Can’er’s spikes pierce the feet of those Mutants. The blood that flowed from their feet was green. But my ice balls were thrown too fast and froze the Mutants’ feet, so the blood didn’t flow out anymore. I thought you all saw it. Am I the only one who saw it?”

No one replied. It was obvious that he was the only one who had seen it. The others had all been observing the upper body. They hadn’t really observed the feet. After all, time was tight, and they only had time for a few glances.

“So, does this mean these Mutants are really evolving? And we clearly sprayed perfume on ourselves, but those two Mutants still attacked us. I guess their sense of smell has also evolved,” Xiao Li voiced her speculation.

Hearing this, the group’s faces darkened a little more. If their sense of smell could evolve, what about their hearing and vision? Would they also evolve?

Zhang Can’er sighed. “Is this really leaving us with no way out?”

For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and the air seemed to thin. No one spoke for a long while.

“I remember the Federation has a Sky Island launcher. Perhaps this could be a way out,” Wan Feng suddenly said.

Hearing this, the group all looked at her. Xiao Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Sky Island? What’s that?”

Wan Feng blinked her eyes, looked up, and said, “This is a high-tech project that the Federation is researching. Not many people know about it. It was in the testing phase before. But given the current situation, I guess the Federation’s Lord, Xiao Huan, is also urgently arranging this matter. I just don’t know what stage it’s at now.”

“Sky Island? Is it what I’m imagining? A large island in the sky where people can live, build houses, and farm?” Xiao Feng asked with some excitement.

The more Xiao Feng spoke, the more excited she became. She was almost pressed against Wan Feng. Zhang Can’er and Xiao An both frowned at the same time. Xiao An was quicker and pulled her into her arms.

“Just talk. Why are you pressing against her?” Xiao An asked sourly.

Xiao Feng and Wan Feng were both stunned for a moment. Neither of them felt anything. It was because Wan Feng had also suddenly remembered this matter and was a bit excited herself. She could understand Xiao Feng’s excitement. The two of them had been quite engrossed in their conversation just now.

Thinking of this, Wan Feng subconsciously looked at Zhang Can’er and found that Zhang Can’er was also looking at her. She felt inexplicably guilty, smiled, and was about to move to sit next to Zhang Can’er.

But Zhang Can’er walked over first and sat down beside her, looking up at her, which made Wan Feng feel very uncomfortable.

“What’s wrong?”

“You like high-tech? You seem very interested in that Sky Island. I haven’t seen you talk so much with them before, but you talked a lot with Xiao Feng just now.” Zhang Can’er was still staring at Wan Feng, afraid of missing anything.

Wan Feng’s ear tips couldn’t help but turn a little red from being stared at, but she still answered Zhang Can’er’s question. “When I was a child, I was very fascinated by the sky islands in books and cartoons. I felt that it was my own world, with no blood, no missions, no training, just myself. In my spare time, I could plant vegetables and flowers. If I wanted to eat some meat, I could go fishing.”

Zhang Can’er withdrew her gaze. After a moment of silence, she said, “This kind of life is probably what most people long for. No need to worry about money, just thinking about what to eat today and what to eat tomorrow.”

“Mhm, everyone wants to live a comfortable life. But life will always catch you off guard, like the arrival of the apocalypse,” Wan Feng smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

“Let’s not talk about such things. Since we still have a way out, let’s cheer up and move forward.”

Wan Feng nodded, a hint of a smile in her eyes as she looked at Zhang Can’er.

Xiao Feng was pulled to a corner by Xiao An. Before she could react, Xiao An blocked her lips. Xiao An’s kiss was a bit urgent and a bit bossy.

Xiao Feng couldn’t quite handle it and could only passively endure it. After the kiss, both of them were breathing a bit rapidly.

“Xing Feng, if you dare to get close to another woman again, be careful I don’t deal with you on the spot,” Xiao An’s eyes held a strong possessiveness, even a hint of obsession.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng smiled and tapped her on the nose. “Alright, I’m sorry. I just have no resistance to things like sky islands. Don’t be angry, okay? It will hurt me if you get angry.”

The two of them were being lovey-dovey in the corner, completely unaware of Xiao Li and Xiao Hao who had walked not far from them. The two exchanged a look, both seeing the awkwardness in each other’s eyes.

“Let’s go. These two probably won’t stop for a while,” Xiao Li said, then turned and left without looking back.

Xiao Hao, however, took a few more glances, thoughtfully following behind Xiao Li. He asked abruptly, “Xiao Li, what does love feel like? Is it just kissing like Xiao Feng and Xiao An?”

Xiao Li paused her steps, turned back to look at Xiao Hao. “I don’t know what it feels like either. Maybe you’ll understand when you meet the right person.”

“What you said is so vague. Then how do you meet the right person?”

“Hmm… I remember it was written in a novel that when you see her, you’ll want to smile, your heart will beat faster, you’ll want to get close to her, but you’ll also be afraid of getting close to her. I’ve never had this feeling. Have you?”

Xiao Hao shook his head, smiled, and scratched his head. “My mom even said she had found a wife for me before she passed away. She wanted me to go and meet her. But I didn’t even see her before this world suddenly changed. I don’t know what my wife looks like, or if she’s even alive.”

Xiao Li looked up at him but didn’t answer. Although Xiao Hao was smiling, that smile was a bit fake, as if it were forced.
