Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 35

Chapter 35: Enemies on a Narrow Road

The two returned to their spots. Xiao Li whispered a few words to Zhang Can’er, explaining why Xiao Feng and Xiao An hadn’t come back.

Zhang Can’er looked at the two in the corner not far away, still a little surprised. When did these two get together?

Before the apocalypse, although Xiao Feng was very dependent on Xiao An, it was the dependence of a younger sister on an older sister. Where was the romance?

After they grew up a bit, their interactions were also quite normal. In fact, Xiao An and Xiao Li were closer.

Zhang Can’er shook her head, not thinking about it anymore. She walked over herself and called the two who were still being affectionate back.

Xiao Feng was quite thick-skinned. She grinned and asked Zhang Can’er to keep their secret. Xiao An, on the other hand, lowered her head, extremely shy.

“Sister Can’er, help us keep it a secret, okay?” Xiao Feng said, tugging on Zhang Can’er’s sleeve, a bit coquettishly.

“You’ve already done it. What’s there to keep secret? Besides, you’re so blatant about it, everyone else already knows,” Zhang Can’er teased, looking at Xiao Feng and Xiao An.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng looked up at the others not far ahead and saw them looking at her with grins. Her face instantly turned bright red. But seeing that Xiao An didn’t even dare to lift her head, she could only take her hand and brace herself to walk forward.

When they returned to their spots, the others couldn’t sit still anymore. They surrounded the two and asked all sorts of questions, making them both extremely shy.

Zhang Can’er smiled and shook her head, letting them fool around. She didn’t know how long such days could last.

Early in the morning, after the group had eaten, they set off. They had discussed yesterday not to stay here for too long. They planned to replenish some food at the shops in the center and then set off for Starshine City.

But as the group was stealthily walking through the house, they heard a sound from the doorway of a house not far away. The group quickly bent down and observed from the window.

They saw a man come out. After looking left and right, he waved his hand, and five or six men came out of the house. The last one, the group all recognized. Wasn’t this the scar-faced man who had stolen their car?

Enemies on a narrow road, indeed.

Since the group could discover them, they must have also discovered the group. The distance between the two teams was not far, just a small path away.

The scar-faced man entered the house first. Xiao Hou and Xiao Hao immediately stood in front of Zhang Can’er and the other girls, warily watching the men in front of them.

“Hand over the food. Don’t say you don’t have any. We couldn’t break into the houses in the village before, but there’s a lot of food in there. Seeing how full your bags are, you must have some. Hand it over quickly.”

The scar-faced man’s words were very impolite, as if they would just hand it over.

Xiao Feng’s fiery temper couldn’t stand it. “Why should we give it to you? Who do you think you are?”

Hearing this, the scar-faced man’s face darkened. Before, he didn’t want his brothers to get hurt. After all, he had learned how dangerous it was along the way. It was a good thing he hadn’t made a move; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had enough men.

But they were almost at Starshine City, and they hadn’t had a full meal in days. He no longer cared about anything.

“Are you looking to die?” A hint of ruthlessness appeared on the scar-faced man’s face.

The few men behind him also surrounded them, all holding extremely sharp black-gold knives, still stained with fresh blood.

Wan Feng’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

But now was not the time to think about this. The scar-faced man was about to make a move without another word.

Zhang Can’er quickly threw out Spike Seeds and Hardened Vine Seeds. The few men instantly showed looks of pain, dropping their knives in agony.

The scar-faced man was quite tolerant. His face flushed red as he was about to slash at Xiao Hou with his knife. He was really starving and had lost his mind.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Can’er quickly shouted, “Let’s go, climb to the roof.”

The group quickly climbed to the roof. As soon as they got up, they saw Mutants swarming from all directions.

The few men were still screaming in pain below, completely unaware that danger had arrived.

Zhang Can’er’s face was a bit pale. This was the first time she had hurt someone. Although those people wanted to hurt them, she still felt a bit bad in her heart.

Wan Feng saw her emotions and knew that this girl, who had never hurt anyone since she was a child, was feeling very bad. She understood these things. After all, she had been through it.

The first time she killed someone, although she was calm on the surface, she still had nightmares for several days. In her dreams, that person was chasing her, covered in blood, demanding her life.

Wan Feng hugged Zhang Can’er and said softly, “It has nothing to do with you. They were the ones who didn’t know what was good for them. They deserved it. Don’t overthink it.”

Zhang Can’er leaned against her and nodded gently.

Before long, screams came from below. When the spikes and vines disappeared, the injuries of the few men did not disappear. But seeing the Mutants surrounding them, they panicked even more.

They cried and ran out of the house, wanting to call for Zhang Can’er and the others to save them.

Unfortunately, the Mutants, smelling the blood and the living, quickened their pace and went straight for those people.

These few people had long been surrounded by the Mutants. It was impossible to escape.

The man’s eyes were wide open. He looked at the few people on the roof opposite and silently mouthed, “Save me… save me…”

Fresh blood gushed out. The Mutants, who had been hungry for a long time, were like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, tearing them to pieces.

Wan Feng covered Zhang Can’er’s ears, but the sound still entered. Zhang Can’er’s face turned even paler.

They didn’t dare to move now. They could only wait for the Mutants below to finish eating before making a decision.

No one dared to speak now. After all, the Mutants were right below. With the slightest movement, these Mutants would come over. They didn’t dare to take the risk.

The faces of the group were not too good. Wan Feng was not affected, but the others were not so at ease.

Watching their own kind being torn apart by Mutants was not something these few kids could bear. Even if those people were in the wrong and wanted to kill them, people were different.

Those people could harden their hearts and kill, but they couldn’t. They were just ordinary people who just wanted to live.

After waiting for more than an hour, the Mutants finally dispersed a little, and the group dared to move.

They followed the rooftops and found the shops in the center, at the far left. It was a small supermarket, considered a relatively good shop in this village.

Logically speaking, the shops in Starfall Village should be relatively prosperous. But after the group had walked around the center, they found that there were not many shops here. There were only one or two clothing stores and snack shops.

It didn’t look very prosperous; on the contrary, it was a bit desolate.

But there was no explanation for this matter, so the group didn’t think too much about it.

Standing on the roof opposite the small supermarket, the group observed for a while. Because they were a bit far away, the others couldn’t see very clearly.

But Zhang Can’er could see clearly. The small supermarket had glass doors, and at this moment, a family of three was cowering in a corner inside the glass doors.

The little girl was looking at her parents with teary eyes. It seemed she didn’t dare to cry out loud.

Then her gaze shifted, and she saw a few wandering Mutants in the small supermarket, all far away from this family of three.
