145 If We Were Five Minutes Late, You’d All Be Pig Food
Would the wild boars follow the smell? Hearing Du Yue and He Xing’s words, Zuo Mingdong and the others also understood their concerns. They immediately looked around vigilantly. Zuo Mingdong even lowered his voice and urged, “Everyone, hurry up and pick the fruits. Then, the four of you will continue to search for more. The other two will be responsible for maintaining vigilance in case the wild boars suddenly attack!”
After speaking, Zuo Mingdong looked at Du Yue and He Xing again. “As for you two…”
“It’s alright, don’t worry. We’ll be on guard with you guys!” He Xing nodded slightly at him.
With He Xing’s words, Zuo Mingdong’s hanging heart could finally relax a little.
In terms of vigilance, Zuo Mingdong felt ashamed of himself in front of He Xing. His hearing and sight were much more sensitive than the average person’s! With He Xing’s help in keeping an eye on the situation, they would be able to discover it at once if anything unexpected happened!
This kind of fruit probably grew in patches. They continued to plow the land and soon found many more. Zuo Mingdong only called everyone back when the fruits they had picked filled the bags they brought to the brim. On the way back, Du Yue’s heart began to feel uneasy. They had found so many fruits, but they had not encountered a single wild boar! Could it be that they were lucky? She had a feeling that things were not that simple, but she could not tell what was wrong.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard sounds coming from the distance. There were people and animals, and it sounded like they were in an intense fight. “The three of you, bring the fruits to the car. The rest of you, follow me to carry out a rescue mission!” He Xing and Du Yue looked at each other and followed behind the group without waiting for Zuo Mingdong to say anything more.
The snow in the places that the group of people had searched had also been turned into a mess. This road was particularly conspicuous in the surroundings, so it did not take much effort for them to find the group’s location. None of them dared to waste any more time. They ran all the way and finally saw the group of people. However, the reality was just as Du Yue had thought. They were indeed fighting with the wild boars, and the situation looked very dangerous.
Seeing this, Du Yue finally understood where the uneasiness in her heart came from. No wonder they had found so many fruits but did not encounter any wild boars. Du Yue had thought that she was wrong. She did not expect that the wild boars did not come to them because they were all here.
Du Yue immediately took out her pistol from her bag. He Xing, Zuo Mingdong, and the others mirrored Du Yue’s actions. The moment they saw the wild boars, they pulled out their guns, aimed at them, and started shooting.
After all, Zuo Mingdong and his team had undergone professional training. Almost every shot hit vital parts of the wild boars. Meanwhile, Du Yue and He Xing were not to be outdone. With their help, the wild boars’ attacks gradually slowed down. In a confrontation with such huge animals with amazing combat power like wild boars, they would definitely not engage in close combat if they could shoot. This way, not only would they be able to quickly reduce the fighting power of the wild boars, but they could also ensure their own safety to the greatest extent.
If they were to encounter a wild boar face-to-face, they would be dead. For example, although that group of people had weapons as well, their weapons had been knocked into the snow by the wild boards after getting surrounded by them. They could only fight with their bare hands. Fortunately, Du Yue and the others came to their aid in time. Otherwise, this group of people might not have been able to make it out alive.
After Du Yue and the others had dealt with the wild boars, they walked toward the other group of people. After asking them in detail and finding out that none of them were seriously injured, they could finally put their hearts at ease.
Zuo Mingdong looked at the snow that had been turned around, “Have you found the fruits too?”
“Yes! We found a lot, but when we were picking them, one of them fell on the ground and was crushed. Before we could react, the herd of wild boars suddenly rushed over from a distance. We weren’t prepared at all. Fortunately, you came in time.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Mingdong’s face sank, “I’ve told you before, right? The wild boars most likely find the fruits by smell. This is your first time acting alone, yet you’ve made such a brainless mistake! You’re lucky this time that we came in time. What about next time? Who will save you then? If we had come five minutes later, you would have become pig food!” The more Zuo Mingdong spoke, the more serious his tone became. He was obviously very angry.
