Chapter 68: Mutant Raid
After packing the Fire Chilies, Zhang Can’er called Wang Yang over with her earpiece.
Wang Yang came over on a tricycle. As soon as he got off, he called out, “Miss Zhang?”
“You’re here? Come in.”
When Wang Yang went in and saw the several large baskets of chilies, his eyes lit up. This was all money.
“Miss Zhang, if you don’t supply the goods soon, the inventory will be in a critical state.”
“You guys are selling them too fast. I can barely keep up.”
Zhang Can’er said with a troubled smile.
“Yes, I didn’t expect it either. But this thing is also a good deal. One Starshine Coin for a small box, and a small box can last for a day. It’s delicious no matter what you eat it with.”
“Now that you mention it, if all three meals are steamed buns, I don’t know how much money can be saved.”
“Isn’t that right?”
The two of them chatted idly, their hands not idle. After a few trips, they finally finished loading the things.
After Wang Yang left, Zhang Can’er took out her account card. Looking at the balance on it, she looked at Wan Feng with a grin and said, “I already have tens of thousands in savings. Can Sister Feng marry me now?”
Wan Feng’s lips curled into a smile. “What nonsense are you talking about? Haven’t I already married you?”
“Mmm~ Sister Feng, you’re so good with words~ Let me kiss you.” With that, Zhang Can’er was about to hug Wan Feng and kiss her wildly.
Wan Feng was helpless and stopped her. “You just sweated. Go take a bath.”
“Oh, I see. Sister Feng dislikes me.”
The sound of their playful banter came from the thatched cottage. The two of them lived a very peaceful life, so peaceful that they had forgotten that this was the apocalypse.
Not only had they forgotten, but the people living in the city had also gradually forgotten.
Only the soldiers guarding the city walls every day knew that this peaceful life would not last long.
In the middle of the night, the two of them, who were in a daze, were woken up by a knock on the door.
Wan Feng got up and opened the door. Standing outside was a soldier in a combat uniform. His face was serious, and there was no light in his eyes when he looked at people.
“Please come with me to the military hospital.”
“Did something happen?” Zhang Can’er asked softly, standing behind Wan Feng.
The soldier said with a blank expression, “We were ambushed by a large number of Mutants tonight. Many people died, and the number of injured is several times more than usual. So, we need a lot of manpower to take care of the wounded. Zhang Tu has already gone over. You two should come quickly too.”
“Okay, we’ll pack up and go,” Zhang Can’er said, pulling Wan Feng into the room. After changing their clothes, they went out, locked the door, and followed behind the soldier.
On the way, Zhang Can’er noticed that the soldier’s combat uniform was covered in bloodstains, both green and red. This immediately made Zhang Can’er think of the fact that Mutants could be upgraded.
She had mentioned this to Shen Fanmeng. She probably had taken some countermeasures. It was just that she had never seen a moving level-two Mutant with her own eyes. The ones they had encountered before were probably Mutants in the process of evolving.
Wan Feng’s face was even uglier. She blamed herself a little for being too immersed in her previous life. She shouldn’t have let her guard down like this.
When they reached the military hospital and saw the large flat ground filled with wounded people sitting and lying down, Zhang Can’er was still a little shocked. She hadn’t expected there to be so many people.
Zhang Tu saw her from not far away and immediately ran over. “Xiao Can, Xiao Feng, the situation is a bit serious this time. Many of these wounded have broken bones or internal injuries. Some have had their hands and feet cut off after being scratched. But there’s not enough medicine. I heard that Xiao Can used to grow medicinal herbs. I wonder if you have any?”
Zhang Can’er knew that Zhang Tu was just clutching at straws, but she didn’t say anything. She shook her head. “I don’t grow medicinal herbs, but I have some pills. Let’s see if they’re useful.”
“Good, good, good. Hurry up and take them out.”
Zhang Can’er took out all the Healing Beans. Zhang Tu was already used to Zhang Can’er conjuring things out of thin air.
She brought over a large basin and caught the Healing Beans that Zhang Can’er had conjured, filling the entire basin.
This scene was actually quite magical, but Zhang Tu was so anxious now that she had no time to think about anything else.
After Zhang Tu left, Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng also consciously went to take care of the wounded.
Zhang Can’er walked up to a soldier and fed him a Healing Bean with a pair of tweezers. Instantly, the soldier stopped moaning in pain and even woke up. He had both external and internal injuries.
The external injuries were a broken right arm and a broken left leg. He could feel that his right arm was no longer in pain, and his breathing was not as difficult as before. Although his left leg still ached a little, it was much better than before.
“Thank you, thank you, young lady. What kind of miracle medicine did you give me? It’s so effective so quickly.”
Zhang Can’er didn’t want to say more. She just said to rest well and then walked to the next wounded person.
Just like that, after feeding dozens of people, Zhang Can’er was a little tired and wanted to rest for a while.
But just as she was about to leave, the wounded person who had been waiting for her was not willing. “Hey, young lady, feed me first before you go.”
Zhang Can’er turned to look at him and found that this person was full of energy, just that his arm was hanging down. She thought it was just a broken arm. “I’ll be right back after I get a drink of water. Please wait.”
But the man was relentless and still shouted, “How can you just watch someone die and not save them? How can you be a military doctor? Are you even human? You don’t even save your own kind when you see them injured?”
Wan Feng heard the commotion and walked over. She looked at the man with a cold face, walked over, and was about to feed him with a pair of tweezers.
But the man didn’t open his mouth and pushed her away directly. Wan Feng used his force to throw the tweezers and the Healing Bean not far away. From the outside, it looked as if the man was ungrateful and not cooperating with the treatment.
And now that medicine was so precious, how could the others tolerate someone who wasted medicine like this?
“Xing Da, don’t throw your young master’s temper here. It’s good enough that someone is feeding you. You’re still being picky.”
“Exactly. If you don’t want to be treated, the people behind you still need to be treated.”
“The young lady is just going to get a drink of water, and you won’t even let her. Do you really think this is your home?”
Xing Da was so angry that he stared at Wan Feng as if he wanted to tear her apart.
How could he not know how much force he had used? That little bit of force was only enough to push her away, not enough to push the medicine to the ground.
This woman did it on purpose! Now he couldn’t even defend himself. He must make this woman pay the price!
Zhang Can’er suppressed a laugh, walked to Wan Feng’s side, and whispered in her ear, “I didn’t know you could act.”
“It just came to me.”
Afterward, Zhang Can’er threw the medicine at Xing Da and said coldly, “Your left hand is fine. Pick it up and eat it yourself.”
Xing Da opened his mouth. Seeing the fierce looks of the few people next to him, he didn’t say anything in the end and obediently ate the medicine.
But his eyes were still fixed on Zhang Can’er. He liked this type of woman the most. Zhang Can’er was simply his ideal type.
If it were before, he would have snatched her over long ago. Now he had to think of a more roundabout way.
