Chapter 72: Chapter 72 It's not the main purpose. It's just by the way.
Liu Ruyan stared at the group of wild boars in front for quite a while before slowly saying, "Not only do they give birth to more offspring, but their growth rate is also much faster than before!"
"Probably so!"
Liu Ruyan turned to look at Zhang Yuan and asked the question that had been puzzling her the most in her heart, "Then what do they eat?"
If there wasn't enough food for them to eat, no matter how many piglets they gave birth to, those little ones wouldn't be able to grow up!
Liu Ruyan remembered that wild boars were herbivores and seemed to eat things like grass roots, tree leaves, and fruits.
But in this kind of weather now, there were hardly any living plants outdoors. So what were these wild boars eating?
They didn't eat meat at all, so why did they attack people?
Zhang Yuan shook his head. "I'm not really sure about these either. Captain Kong said that scientists are doing all kinds of research on this. Presumably, there will be results soon."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded.
Although she was curious, Liu Ruyan also knew that this wasn't the time to talk about these things.
The two cars surrounded by wild boars in front obviously couldn't move an inch.
Liu Ruyan asked Zhang Yuan, "What do you think about this?"
Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows. "If you want to try that submachine gun, we can fire a few shots.
If you don't want to try, we'll turn around and leave."
Zhang Yuan had never been a do-gooder.
He was a businessman, and a qualified one at that.
He never thought that just because he was capable, he should act bravely for a just cause and help others.
He would help if he wanted to, and leave if he didn't.
Liu Ruyan touched the gun in her hand. "Then let's give it a try."
"Okay. I'll turn the car sideways to make it easier for you to shoot."
As Zhang Yuan said this, he turned the steering wheel in his hand.
After the car was turned sideways, Liu Ruyan lowered the car window and stretched the silver muzzle of the gun out of the window.
The previous practice and all those bullets hadn't been wasted in vain.
Liu Ruyan had never used other submachine guns, so naturally she didn't know what other guns were like.
However, the recoil of the submachine gun in her hand wasn't strong, and it wasn't heavy for her either.
Most importantly, it felt really good in her hand.
After firing several shots in a row, apart from the sound of the bullets cutting through the air, there wasn't the slightest other noise.
Although the distance was quite far, the range was obviously even farther.
Liu Ruyan could clearly see that several wild boars were hit in the head and fell to the ground on the spot.
This sudden change panicked the group of wild boars, and they rammed the two cars even harder.
However, soon these wild boars realized that the bullets were coming from behind and all looked in Liu Ruyan's direction.
One wild boar galloped towards them with its hooves flying, and the others followed closely behind.
Facing these wild boars galloping over, Liu Ruyan fired her gun unhurriedly.
It was only at this time that Liu Ruyan truly felt the joy of using a submachine gun.
Just keep spraying bullets!
As for how many she could hit and whether bullets would be wasted, these were completely not within the scope of consideration at this time.
No matter how fierce wild boars were, they couldn't be fearless of death.
After more and more wild boars fell to the ground, the remaining ones screeched and scattered in all directions, galloping away in the snow with their hooves flying. They disappeared from sight in no time.
Liu Ruyan withdrew her gun, turned to look at Zhang Yuan, and saw Zhang Yuan giving her a thumbs up. "Well done!"
Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows. "Your teaching was also great! Let's go. It's time for us to collect our spoils."
"Okay!"
Zhang Yuan agreed and drove the car towards the dead wild boars.
The car moved forward and stopped from time to time. The two of them also had to get out of the car and lift the wild boars on the ground onto the car.
Fortunately, the two of them were strong enough. Otherwise, facing these extremely heavy wild boars, they really wouldn't have known what to do.
Although the trunk of the car was quite spacious, the bodies of the wild boars were also big.
After loading six wild boars, the trunk was stuffed full.
Zhang Yuan pointed to the roof of the car. "We can put some more here. I brought steel wire ropes. We can tie the rest and tow them behind."
Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, the smile in Liu Ruyan's eyes grew deeper.
What Zhang Yuan said was exactly what she had in mind.
She couldn't waste any of the wild boars she had killed. She wanted to take them all back to the base and exchange them for contribution points!
After driving to the side of the two cars, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan continued to collect the bodies of the wild boars on the ground.
For Liu Ruyan, practicing marksmanship and hunting wild boars were her main purposes.
Saving the people in these two cars was just an additional effect.
They hadn't begged her to save them, and she hadn't thought of saving them either.
So, Liu Ruyan didn't care what these people in the cars were thinking at this time.
After collecting these spoils, they should naturally head back.
However, just at this moment, the doors of these two cars were pushed open one after another, and several people got out of the cars.
Although she heard the sound of the car doors opening, Liu Ruyan didn't pay much attention to it.
But as soon as these people stood still, one of them walked quickly towards Liu Ruyan.
"You were the one who fired the gun just now, right? I saw it! You're really amazing! Thank you for saving us!"
Liu Ruyan gave the girl who spoke a casual look. "I didn't save you on purpose."
"You're a girl? When I saw you shooting just now, I thought you were a boy!
Although I've always thought that a girl shooting would look really cool and heroic, I've never seen it before.
Now that I see you, I know that what I thought before was right. A girl who can shoot is really handsome!
By the way, my name is Qin Yuanyuan. What's your name? Are you a soldier?"
"No."
Liu Ruyan had never been an outgoing person. After saying these two words, she gave Zhang Yuan a look and was ready to continue collecting the bodies of the wild boars.
However, Liu Ruyan's cold attitude didn't dampen Qin Yuanyuan's enthusiasm.
"Are you going to take these wild boars back to the base? Let us help you! I think your car can't hold any more."
Liu Ruyan shook her head. "No, we can take them back by ourselves."
"Your car roof is already piled high. There's no room at all! Coincidentally, our cars are bigger and there's still a lot of empty space inside. We can help you take them back!
Are you afraid that when we get to the base, we won't return the wild boars to you?
Actually, you don't have to worry about this at all. We all know how to repay kindness. We're not that kind of people."
Qin Yuanyuan's voice was clear, and she spoke rather quickly, chattering away.
Liu Ruyan felt a bit of a headache listening to her. She stared straight at Qin Yuanyuan. "I said that we can take them back by ourselves. Saving you wasn't the purpose. It was just by the way."
After saying that, Liu Ruyan didn't care what Qin Yuanyuan's reaction was and turned around to walk towards another wild boar.
Zhang Yuan quickly followed when he saw this. The two of them first lifted the wild boar to the back of the car and then tied it with the steel wire rope, with the other end hooked onto the car.
Just after they finished this, Liu Ruyan turned around and saw two people working together to lift a wild boar and carry it towards their car.
