Chapter 79 As long as you live long enough, you'll be able to understand.

Zhang Yuan clearly saw the change in Kong Rui's eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Captain Kong, what exactly is the collection task you just mentioned?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's question again, Kong Rui gathered his scattered thoughts and explained seriously, "Didn't I tell you before that scientists are researching what those wild boars eat? Now there are already some results.

We're going out this time to collect more of the things that wild boars eat, to see what exactly they are and whether humans can eat them or not."

This task sounded quite interesting and didn't seem dangerous.

However, if one really thought it wasn't dangerous, that would be a big mistake.

Since it's something that wild boars eat, there might be wild boar habitats around. Once they went there, they were very likely to run into groups of wild boars.

Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at Liu Ruyan. "What do you think? Do you want to go and have a look?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's question, Liu Ruyan didn't hesitate at all. "Yes!"

Whether it was these wild boars that had become a plague or the plants that grew in this kind of weather and temperature, they were all things that Liu Ruyan had never heard of in her previous life.

She wanted to go and take a look!

Just as Liu Ruyan said "yes", Kong Rui's voice also came over. "You two are also going out hunting. Why don't you come with us?

Don't worry. You won't be working for nothing! The contribution points that should be given will definitely be given. If you encounter wild boars, all the wild boars you kill will belong to you."

Hearing Kong Rui's words, Zhang Yuan gave Kong Rui a thumbs up. "Captain Kong always does things in such a proper way.

Since that's the case, then we'll follow along! You go in front, and we'll follow behind!"

Kong Rui stretched out his hand and handed over a walkie-talkie. "If there's anything, we'll contact each other through the walkie-talkie!"

Zhang Yuan took the walkie-talkie, closed the car window, watched Kong Rui's car drive to the front, and then slowly followed.

Following behind Kong Rui's car had its advantages. At least they didn't need to clear the road by themselves and could save a lot of fuel.

On the way, Liu Ruyan couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply.

Since her rebirth, although the general direction was the same as in her previous life, when she carefully recalled it, there were still quite a few differences in many small details.

Especially with so many fierce wild animals and those unknown plants, it was no longer a small deviation.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help wondering whether she had been too ill-informed in her previous life or whether all of this now was the butterfly effect brought about by her rebirth.

Liu Ruyan wasn't the kind of person who would overly obsess over things. After thinking for a while without figuring it out, she didn't continue thinking about it.

Thinking about it further wouldn't help. It would just be making things difficult for herself.

It was better to adjust her mood and wait quietly for things to develop.

As long as she lived long enough, Liu Ruyan believed that she would definitely be able to understand what was going on.

While Liu Ruyan was deep in thought, Zhang Yuan's gaze would fall on her from time to time.

Seeing her furrowed brows and her rather solemn eyes, he would also worry whether she was thinking about something difficult.

But from beginning to end, Zhang Yuan didn't make a sound to disturb her.

Now seeing that Liu Ruyan had already adjusted her mood, Zhang Yuan then said, "Do you think that the wild boars have become so fierce, with thick hides and tough flesh, and their physiques have also changed. Could it have something to do with that unknown plant?"

Liu Ruyan didn't expect that the first question Zhang Yuan asked would be this one.

But carefully thinking about Zhang Yuan's question, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but continue thinking along this line.

"If there is really a connection, can humans eat it? After eating it, will there also be some changes in their physiques?"

When saying this, Liu Ruyan's voice was very soft, but every word she said seemed to explode in her mind.

"Don't think too much," Zhang Yuan said softly. "After bringing the things back to the base, I think the scientists will be able to research it out soon. We just have to wait and see."

"You're right!"

Liu Ruyan looked straight ahead, with a glint in her eyes.

Whether it was something she hadn't heard of in her previous life or the butterfly effect brought about by her rebirth.

If this plant really had the effect of changing physiques and humans could eat it, then more people should be able to survive!

The continuous natural disasters were punishments given by nature.

But was there also a glimmer of life in this punishment?

---

Except for the snowplow that cleared the road, Kong Rui's group drove a total of three cars, and Zhang Yuan drove the car and followed at the end.

The convoy had been driving for three or four hours.

During this period, the convoy didn't stop at all.

In the middle, Liu Ruyan wanted to replace Zhang Yuan and drive the car herself, but Zhang Yuan refused.

It wasn't until they saw the cars in front slowly stop that Zhang Yuan followed suit and stopped.

The two of them simply tidied up and got out of the car.

For the convenience of movement, they didn't carry big backpacks. Instead, each of them carried a satchel.

The satchels were not small and could hold quite a few things.

In this way, if they needed to use weapons, at least they would have a reasonable excuse to take them out.

Liu Ruyan also brought her Tang knife and hung it on the satchel.

When the two of them had tidied up and got out of the car, Kong Rui and the others had already got out of the car, and Kong Rui was assigning tasks to them.

Seeing Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan coming over, Kong Rui said, "I've already divided into groups. You two will be with me in a while."

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan had no objections to Kong Rui's arrangement.

After a while, more than ten people in their group dispersed, with four people in each group, and walked in different directions.

On the way, Kong Rui took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yuan.

"This was taken by the people who came to scout the situation earlier. The fruit looks like this.

It's a white ball, about the size of a baby's fist, without flowers or leaves, just growing bare on the white vines.

Everything in sight is white. It's really not easy to look for it.

When you look for it later, don't stare at the snow for too long to avoid hurting your eyes."

Knowing that Kong Rui was concerned about them, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan both seriously agreed and thanked him.

Liu Ruyan carefully looked at the photo in her hand and then handed it back to Zhang Yuan.

After Zhang Yuan received this photo from Kong Rui, he directly handed it to her and hadn't had time to take a careful look yet.

Zhang Yuan took the photo and, while walking, took a careful look at it.

After looking at it for a while, he returned the photo to Kong Rui.

They didn't walk fast. Everyone was bending down and looking at the ground, looking for the traces of the white fruit.

Keeping this posture for a long time was really uncomfortable.

Not to mention the backache and neck pain, staring at the white snow all the time would also make their eyes very uncomfortable.

Liu Ruyan straightened up, closed her eyes, and felt that this couldn't go on like this.
