Chapter 147: 146

146 Scientists Will Find Out if the Fruit Is Edible as Soon as Possible

That group of people all lowered their heads and listened to Zuo Mingdong’s scolding, not daring to say a word. Du Yue had been listening attentively to Zuo Mingdong’s scolding, but she could not hold back her laughter after listening to what he said.

Become pig food? When Zuo Mingdong was scolding others, he was serious yet funny. Du Yue had only heard of humans eating pork, but she had never heard of anyone being eaten by a pig. Du Yue could not help but laugh when she thought of Zuo Mingdong’s serious face when he said the words ‘pig food’. Zuo Mingdong heard Du Yue’s soft laughter at the side and calmed down a little. He stopped scolding them. “Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and pick the fruits, then carry these boars to the car!”

They had killed more than ten wild boars, and they did not know if more would suddenly rush out after this. Fortunately, the temperature was low, so the wild boars did not bleed too much after they were killed, and the smell of blood was not strong. But no matter what, animals’ sense of smell was much more sensitive than humans. Just because they could not smell it did not mean that wild animals could not.

Du Yue and He Xing also helped to carry the wild boars. After all, the dozen or so wild boars could be exchanged for contribution points when they returned to the base. Now that the base was developing better and better, Du Yue believed that saving up more contribution points would be good for their lives in the future. After all, money could solve 90% of the problems in life at any time.

Everyone worked together, and in less than an hour, everything was loaded into the cars. They then made a move to return to the base. They finally returned to their cars after staying out in the snow for such a long time. Feeling the rising temperature in the car, Du Yue nestled in the passenger seat and felt that she was the happiest person in the world at this moment. The doors and windows of the car were tightly shut, so there was no need to worry about the smell spreading. Du Yue then took out the white fruit that Zuo Mingdong had given her before and carefully cut it in half with a small knife.

The inside of the fruit was also white, but in the middle, there were a few black seeds of similar size. Du Yue placed the cut fruit under her nose and sniffed. Perhaps due to the high temperature in the car, the fruit smelled stronger in the car than outside.

Du Yue did not plan on eating it. She only observed it for a while before putting it away in her interspace. Du Yue took out a hand wash and turned to look at He Xing, who was driving. “You must be hungry after being out for so long, right?” she asked.

In order to finish the mission and return to the base as soon as possible, they ate some compressed biscuits with hot water in the woods when they were hungry. They did not feel hungry when they were busy just now, but now that they were free, they could feel their stomachs growling.

Since He Xing was driving, he was not able to eat anything. Du Yue took out the sandwich she had made earlier from her interspace. The sandwich was not big, but there were beef slices and cheese inside. Du Yue put on a pair of disposable gloves, ate one, and fed He Xing the other. Du Yue even found some hot milk, put a straw in it, and brought it to He Xing’s mouth.

By the time they returned to the base, the two of them had already eaten and drunk their fill. The sky outside had already turned completely dark, and the base’s gates were closed. However, Zuo Mingdong gave the order and someone in the base opened the gate for them. Zuo Mingdong told them through the walkie-talkie not to go home yet but to go to the service hall first.

The basic reward for this collection mission was 100 contribution points per person. Other than that, Du Yue and He Xing had killed seven wild boars together and exchanged them for 4,000 contribution points. “If Du Yue hadn’t suggested that we use rakes to search for the fruit, we would have returned with nothing today. So, the base has decided to give you two an extra 300 contribution points each. The fruit was found, and the scientists will start their research as soon as possible. If this fruit is really edible and can be planted, you’ll be given the first opportunity.”

Both Du Yue and He Xing were quite satisfied with the reward that Zuo Mingdong had given them. No matter from which aspect, Zuo Mingdong’s arrangements were very good. After exchanging the contribution points, they parted ways with Zuo Mingdong and the others.

Du Yue and He Xing returned to their apartment building. When they passed by the first floor, they did not see Wu Di again. When they reached the seventh floor, Du Yue bid He Xing farewell. “It’s been a long day. Go home and sleep early.”

“Alright, you should rest early too.” He Xing smiled and nodded. “Come to my house for lunch tomorrow afternoon.”

“Alright,” she said.
