I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

142 One Day, I’ll Know the Answers

“He Xing, what are you guys doing? Are you going out for a collection mission?” Zuo Mingdong asked He Xing, and the two of them were confused.

He Xing’s mind was filled with question marks. “What kind of mission is that?”

“You don’t know? Then what are you guys going out for? Are you still going out to hunt?” After saying this, Zuo Mingdong looked at He Xing with a complicated expression.

Others might not understand, but he did. He Xing’s card still had at least tens of thousands of contribution points. In the base, other people might not be able to eat well, wear warm clothes, or stay warm, but with the balance in He Xing’s card, he could definitely eat whatever he wanted. He was already so rich, but he was not comfortably staying at home, eating and drinking. He always went out hunting in the heavy snow. This person was too hardworking!

He Xing noticed Zuo Mingdong’s complicated gaze, but he did not take it to heart. “Captain Zuo, you haven’t told me what the collection mission is about.”

!!

Hearing He Xing’s question again, Zuo Mingdong collected his thoughts and explained seriously, “Didn’t I tell you before that the scientists in the base are studying what those boars live on? Now, they’ve found the answer. We’re planning to go out and collect as much of their food as possible to see what species they are and whether they can be eaten by humans.”

This task sounded quite interesting and easy. However, if they really thought that it was easy, they would be extremely stupid. Since they were the wild boars’ food, there must be wild boars around. They might be attacked by the wild boars while they were collecting.

He Xing turned to Du Yue. “Do you want to go? If you want to go, we can go together!”

After listening to Zuo Mingdong’s description, Du Yue also felt that this mission was quite interesting. When she heard He Xing’s question, she did not hesitate at all. “Let’s go!”

Whether it was the mutated wild boars or the plants that could grow in such cold weather, Du Yue had never seen anything like them before. Now that there was a chance, of course, she had to go and take a look!

Just as He Xing was asking Du Yue, Zuo Mingdong’s voice came from outside the window. “Since you two are going out to hunt anyway, why don’t you follow us? This way, you can earn contribution points and have a higher chance of encountering wild boars.”

Since Du Yue wanted to go, He Xing had no objections. He nodded to Zuo Mingdong, “Alright, let’s go together. You guys drive, and we’ll follow you!”

A walkie-talkie was passed to them through the window. “Take this. Just call me if you need anything.”

He Xing took the walkie-talkie and thanked Zuo Mingdong before closing the window. He watched Zuo Mingdong and the others drive a distance away before he started the car and followed them.

It was quite convenient to follow behind Zuo Mingdong’s car. At least, he did not have to clear the snow himself. It was both convenient and energy-saving!

He Xing was driving with full concentration. Du Yue, who sat in the passenger seat, did not disturb him. Instead, she was muttering to herself. In this life, although the basic trajectory seemed to be the same as in her previous life, after calming down and thinking about it, there were still many differences in many details.

In particular, there were so many wild animals with strong offensive power, as well as plants that could survive in low temperatures and speed up the growth of wild animals. This was already a huge deviation from the development trajectory of her previous life.

Du Yue could not help but frown. Was it because she was too out of touch with the news in her past life, or was it because she was reborn that these things had changed? She thought about it for a long time but still had no clue, so she simply put this matter to the back of her mind and did not bother about it anymore.

She was not someone who would stay at a dead end. When she was in school, her teacher often told her to leave a question blank if she did not know how to answer it. She should not let a question affect her speed. What she could do now was to maintain a good attitude. As for whether there would be any major changes in her life in the future, it was not up to her to decide.

As long as she could ensure her own survival for the rest of her life, she would eventually find out the answers to these questions.

As Du Yue was lost in her thoughts, she did not notice He Xing’s gaze landing on her from time to time. Seeing her frowning and her slightly worried expression, he was worried that she had encountered some difficulties. However, He Xing did not disturb her at all.

Now that Du Yue had pulled herself out of her thoughts, He Xing asked, “Do you think the sudden change in size and weight of the boars is due to the plants they’re eating?”
