Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 36

Chapter 36: I’m the One Who Harmed Them

Zhang Can’er let out a breath, but at the same time, she felt a little worried. After all, there were still a few wandering Mutants outside the small supermarket.

The incident just now had happened on the street at the far right of the center, so the Mutants here were not affected.

Zhang Can’er explained the situation to the others. She wanted to save the family of three. Perhaps doing so would also make her feel a little better.

“I don’t agree to save them. There are so many Mutants in that supermarket, it’s too dangerous. The food in our bags can still last for a few days. At worst, we can all eat a little less,” Wan Feng refused sternly.

Xiao Feng opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

After all, Wan Feng was right. There were indeed many Mutants in that supermarket, plus the ones outside. There were too many unstable factors. It would be troublesome if they attracted more Mutants.

The incident with the scar-faced man was still fresh in their minds. They didn’t dare to attract Mutants like they did in Phantom Star Village.

Because the number of Mutants here was not as simple as thirty or forty. There were definitely hundreds or even thousands.

In addition, knowing that there were upgraded Mutants, the group was even more reluctant to act rashly.

So, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zhang Can’er.

Zhang Can’er noticed that apart from Wan Feng, no one else had responded to her. Her brow furrowed slightly. “Are you listening to me or to her?”

There was a hint of anger in her voice, which made even Wan Feng look up at her.

Just as Xiao Feng was about to speak, Zhang Can’er waved her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose. “I shouldn’t have forced you. Since none of you want to go, then I’ll go alone.”

“Sister Can’er! Don’t be rash. Going by yourself is just suicide. Why risk your own life for a few strangers?” Xiao Feng anxiously grabbed Zhang Can’er, afraid she would go down just like that.

“Just now, I watched those people die right in front of me! Now that I have a chance to make amends, why shouldn’t I save them?!” Zhang Can’er’s eyes were red as she said stubbornly.

Wan Feng frowned slightly, reached out and grabbed her, looking at her with some concern. “Are you okay?”

Zhang Can’er’s eyes moved, and she came back to her senses. She suddenly felt a little tired. She rested her head on Wan Feng’s shoulder and began to cry softly.

“I’m the one who killed them. If… if I had gone down to save them, they might not have died. I’m the one who killed them, it’s me…”

Wan Feng patted her back and coaxed softly, “You’re not wrong. You were just protecting yourself. It’s good enough that you didn’t kill them. There’s no need to blame yourself. Those people deserved to die.”

“But… but…”

“There’s no but. You’re not wrong. Even if you had killed them, you wouldn’t be wrong. In the apocalypse, where is there any morality to speak of?”

Wan Feng helped her sit down by the wall and opened a bottle of water for her to drink.

Zhang Can’er took a sip of water, and her heart calmed down a little, but she still couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.

Wan Feng looked at her with some worry, afraid that she would develop some inner demon. If she couldn’t get over this matter, she would probably be depressed for the rest of her life. With a heavy heart and suppressed emotions, her body would also get worse day by day.

Wan Feng moved closer to her, held her hand, and coaxed in a gentle voice, “Don’t think about it anymore, okay? If you really want to save people, we can discuss it together. At least we need a way out, don’t you think?”

Zhang Can’er turned to look at Wan Feng. She had never seen such gentle eyes before. Even when Wan Feng was blushing and shy, she had never seen her so gentle. She usually had the appearance of a cold beauty. Only when she looked at her would she soften a little, but only a little.

Zhang Can’er was so captivated that she was stunned. She stared at Wan Feng for a long while, until her face turned red, before she withdrew her gaze.

She smiled and said, “Mhm, let’s discuss it together.”

Seeing Zhang Can’er smile, Wan Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. She covered her face and sat on the side to cool down.

Just now, Zhang Can’er’s gaze was as if she wanted to eat her. And she was staring a bit too blatantly. Who stares at people like that?

After composing herself, Zhang Can’er apologized to Xiao Feng. She had been too aggressive just now.

The feeling of self-blame was like it was surrounding her, causing her emotions to fluctuate greatly. She didn’t have a good attitude toward the people around her.

She sighed. This was a feeling she had never had before. She didn’t know if the deaths of those few people had been too much of a shock to her.

Next, the group began to discuss how to rescue the family of three. Although none of them really agreed to go, they couldn’t win against Zhang Can’er. They were also worried about her, so they could only agree.

“Why don’t we use Xiao An’s fish-summoning trick again to lure those Mutants over,” Xiao Feng said.

But Zhang Can’er shook her head. She had a better way.

Just now, Ru Xi had informed her that the vegetables in the Spirit Field were ripe.

The two new seeds she had gotten from her upgrade, she had planted them in the Spirit Field as soon as she got them. She would go to check on them every night.

She had planted a large patch of rice and many carrots, at least fifty or so.

“Wait for me a moment,” she said and closed her eyes.

The others all blinked, not understanding why Zhang Can’er could still sleep at a time like this.

Zhang Can’er actually really wanted to tell them, but Ru Xi had warned her that if she revealed the Spirit Field, it would bring great disaster. At that time, the Spirit Field, she, and her companions would all meet with misfortune.

As for what they would encounter, Ru Xi didn’t know either, only that if she wanted to die, she could tell.

Zhang Can’er had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

After entering the Spirit Field, Zhang Can’er teleported to the farmland. Looking at the golden rice, she was extremely happy in her heart. It was not in vain that she had used high-grade fertilizer.

The Spirit Field here could only guarantee that the crops would not die and would grow steadily. But if she wanted the crops to grow well and have a good harvest, she had to water them with spirit water and apply fertilizer.

Usually, once a day was enough.

The spirit water could be used freely, but the fertilizer needed to be exchanged for with crops. A bag of high-grade fertilizer had cost Zhang Can’er a hundred Fire Chilies.

At that time, her heart had ached terribly.

But looking at the plump grains, her heart was comforted a lot.

Afterward, she went to the carrot field and was instantly dumbfounded.

She had planted more than fifty seeds, but no one had told her that one carrot would be as thick and long as her arm.

“This… how am I supposed to eat this?” Zhang Can’er was a bit helpless.

Ru Xi suddenly appeared behind her and laughed. “Yo, why is there such a heavy hostile aura on you? Who are you being controlled by?”

“What?” Zhang Can’er looked at her with some confusion but was not scared by her. It was mainly because she was used to it.

Ru Xi stared at her for a while, then smiled indifferently. “Nothing.”

Zhang Can’t didn’t want to know what riddle she was playing at. After all, she had urgent matters to attend to now. So she pointed at the carrots and asked, “How am I supposed to eat these carrots when they’re so big? Do you have a way to make them smaller?”

Ru Xi followed her gaze and raised her eyebrows. “You’ve taken good care of them. You’ll know when you touch this thing.”

Zhang Can’er blinked, shot her a glance, walked to a large carrot, and touched it lightly.

Then, a panel appeared in front of her.
