130 If You Want to Help, I’ll Help Too. I’ll Listen to You
Du Yue was a little surprised and speechless. How could wild boars give birth so well? Did they do nothing all year round and just have children to play with? She stared at the wild boars in front of her for a long time before speaking slowly, “I feel that their current growth rate has also changed greatly compared to before.”
“Mm! I’ve noticed it too. They’re growing too fast!”
Du Yue turned to look at He Xing and asked the question that had been bugging her the most, “There are so many of them. What do they usually eat to replenish their energy?”
Without enough food, no matter how many children were born, they would die before they could grow up. Du Yue remembered that wild boars were omnivorous animals. Before the apocalypse, domestic pigs were fed corn and barley. Some countryside pigs would also be fed with grass. However, with the current weather, be it crops or plants, they had all disappeared. What did these wild boars usually eat, then?
Although they were omnivorous, no one had ever heard of them eating meat, let alone human flesh. Why would they attack humans?
He Xing shook his head. “I don’t know either, but Captain Zuo said that the scientists are working on it. I think we’ll find out the answer soon.”
Du Yue nodded. Although she had her doubts, now was not the time to ponder over these things.
The two cars that were surrounded by the boars were obviously unable to move forward. “Should we help?” Du Yue asked He Xing.
He Xing raised his eyebrows. “Since you have nothing to do, you can try shooting a few times. Just take it as practice. If you don’t want to care about them, then we’ll leave.” He Xing was a businessman through and through. He had no interest in doing good deeds. Especially in an era where the planet had fallen into chaos, he did not want to come into contact with any unfamiliar humans.
Therefore, if Du Yue wanted to help them, he would go along with her decision. If she did not want to, he would take her away.
Du Yue touched the submachine gun. “Let’s give it a try.”
“Alright, I’ll turn the car over so that it’s easier for you to shoot.”
He Xing turned the steering wheel as he spoke. The car came to a side. Du Yue rolled down the window and stuck the silver gun out. The previous practice session and the many bullets that were saved turned out to be useful now.
Du Yue had never used any other submachine gun, so she did not know what other guns were like. However, He Xing’s gun did not have a strong recoil, which was acceptable to her. The most important thing was that it felt extremely good in her hands. A few bullets were fired in a row, but other than the sound of the bullets cutting through the air, there was no other sound.
Although they were far away from the wild boars, the range of the submachine gun was clearly more than 70 to 80 meters. Du Yue clearly saw the bullets pierce through the heads of a few wild boars. They fell to the ground limply and stopped breathing.
The frightened wild boars fell into chaos and began to hit the two cars more violently. However, the boars soon realized that the bullets were shot from behind. They all looked in Du Yue’s direction. The leading wild boar charged at their car without a care, and the other wild boars followed suit. Facing these wild boars that had fallen into madness, Du Yue continued to move in an orderly manner. It was only then that Du Yue truly experienced the joy of using a submachine gun. A burst of bullets was fired, and several wild boars were shot to the ground while they were running.
Du Yue looked at the wild boars running wildly and suddenly remembered a saying—’All fears come from the lack of firepower.’ When she held the submachine gun and fired at the herd of wild boars, she no longer had the numb feeling she had when she first saw them.
As for how many wild boars she could shoot and whether she would waste bullets, these questions were not in her mind at all. She only focused on shooting and left the rest to the bullets.
No matter how amazing the wild boars’ combat power was, it was impossible for them not to be afraid of death. As more and more wild boars fell, the remaining wild boars scattered in panic. While howling, they moved their hooves and ran wildly in the snow, disappearing not long after.
Du Yue kept her gun and turned to look at He Xing. She saw that He Xing’s eyes were shining and gave her a thumbs-up. “Well done!”
Du Yue curled her lips. “It’s because you taught me well. Let’s go, it’s time to collect our spoils of war.”
“Let’s go!”
He Xing agreed readily and drove to where the wild boars’ carcasses were. Their car kept going and stopping. The two of them had to get out of the car from time to time to carry the wild boars on the ground into the car. Fortunately, the two of them were relatively strong. Otherwise, they would really be helpless against such huge wild boars.
