152 Research Results That Bring About Joy and Worry

He Xing had bought more than a hundred items, but it was just a number on the phone. When the staff took the things out, the two of them finally knew how much they had bought. The trunk of He Xing’s car was almost full. After retrieving their things, the two of them planned to go home. Before He Xing could start the car, the phone in his pocket rang.

“It’s Captain Zuo.” He Xing answered the call. “He Xing, are you busy now? If you’re not doing anything, come over and look for me. I have something to tell you.”

“Sure, I’ll go over now.” He Xing agreed without even asking why he was looking for him.

Hearing He Xing’s answer, Zuo Mingdong was surprised. “Are you outside?”

“Yes, I came to the supermarket to buy some things.”

“Alright, come as soon as you can.”

After hanging up the phone, He Xing could not help but sigh. “It’s so much more convenient now that the base has internet. In the past, Captain Zuo could only come to my home if he wanted to look for me.”

Du Yue agreed with him. “That’s true. Otherwise, not only would Captain Zuo have to make a trip to your house in such cold weather, but he wouldn’t even have been able to find you.”

He Xing drove the car, and it did not take long for them to arrive at the building where Zuo Mingdong worked. He Xing turned off the engine and gave Zuo Mingdong a call while sitting in the car. He Xing told him that he had arrived, and Zuo Mingdong did not say much on the other end of the phone. He just said that he would be coming down soon.

While waiting for him, He Xing peeked out of the window and saw no one outside. Even the security guards in the base should be working indoors. Du Yue could guess what He Xing was looking for when she saw him looking around. “The security guard from before probably doesn’t work here anymore.”

A security guard at the base was not a powerful position, but it was a stable job. This kind of job was something many people in the base dreamed of. However, Pan Da did not cherish it and even used his power for personal gain. People like Zuo Mingdong, who could not tolerate mistakes like that, would not let Pan Da continue to work here no matter what.

He Xing nodded. “Yeah, I know.” He believed that Zuo Mingdong, who had known him for such a long time, would definitely understand the unspoken meaning of the words he said to him.

As the two of them were chatting, they saw the door not far away being pushed open. Zuo Mingdong was carrying a bag in his hand. He walked quickly toward He Xing’s car. He Xing got out of the car when he saw him. Before he closed the door, he turned to Du Yue and said, “It’s too cold outside. Don’t come out.”

Du Yue smiled and nodded. “Alright, I got it.”

He Xing stood outside and chatted with Zuo Mingdong for a while. Zuo Mingdong then handed the bag in his hand to He Xing. Before he left, Zuo Mingdong even waved at Du Yue who was in the car. He Xing only opened the car door and got into the car after Zuo Mingdong had walked away. “Captain Zuo said that the research results are out.”

In fact, when Zuo Mingdong called He Xing over, the two of them had already guessed that it was probably because of this matter. After all, if it was something else, Zuo Mingdong did not need to be so anxious at all, or they could communicate over the phone.

Du Yue was still very curious about the fruit. “So, what’s the result?”

“This bag contains the investigation report. I haven’t seen it yet.”

He Xing handed the bag to her. “Take a look first. I’ll drive.”

Du Yue nodded and opened the bag. There were about 20 white fruits inside, as well as an investigation report.

Du Yue quickly scanned through the report and read it out to He Xing. “The scientists at the base named this fruit frosty snow fruit. It’s not poisonous and contains a variety of vitamins. It’s the highest amount of vitamins that existed before the apocalypse, and it’s even three to five times more than ordinary fruits. It can also be eaten by humans. The most suitable environment for the growth of the frosty snow fruit is the current icy and snowy outdoor environment. It has to be planted in the soil. If it’s watered with nutrient solution, it can ripen and be picked in about a month. The yield is very high. They can be eaten as fruits and vegetables. It’s very beneficial to the body without any side effects. However, research shows that the frosty snow fruit can’t change one’s physique, so there must be another reason for the sudden change in the boars’ physique.”

After Du Yue finished reading the report, she was half happy and half worried. She was happy because not only could this fruit be eaten by humans, but it was also rich in vitamins. In the current environment, they lacked produce that was rich in vitamins. People could now rely on this fruit to supplement their vitamins in the future. Her worry was that if the physical changes of the wild boars had nothing to do with the frosty snow fruit, the biggest possibility was that the animals had adapted to the apocalypse faster than humans, and their bodies had also changed accordingly.

However, Du Yue could not tell if humans would also slowly adapt to this new world.
