Chapter 160 -160: Harvesting the Wild Boar Herd

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng turned towards the source of the noise, both shocked, a group of wild boars, more than a dozen of them, were charging in their direction.

Gu Pan said to her husband, “Climb the tree.”

Then, one after the other, they climbed the thickest tree nearby, having just mentioned how smoothly the day had gone, they hadn’t expected to encounter a group of wild boars…

Since Gu Pan had the Space, they had always agreed that, the more dangerous it was, the more they needed to stay together, that they could both enter it if there was danger, and they should not separate. At this moment, they were naturally together.

The reason they had chosen to climb the tree instead of going directly into the Space was that Gu Pan was somewhat greedy, she wanted all these wild boars, and although it was dangerous, with a “Golden Finger” like the Space, they wouldn’t be eaten, so they might as well try to gain more, to make good use of her Space.

They had just climbed up when the group of wild boars reached them.

Gu Pan remembered watching a show about animals; a group of wild boars should be between twenty to fifty, but it was probably due to the few that survived the apocalypse, so there were only about sixteen or seventeen.

Wild boars are smart, they circled once and realized they were in the tree, then started using their heads to hit the tree, clearly trying to either knock them down or knock the tree over.

The two pulled out their guns and began firing at the boars below, the skin of a wild boar is very thick, and it would take four or five shots to take down one with a pistol.

This speed was definitely not enough, the tree was shaking more and more violently.

Gu Pan originally wanted to find a grenade, but suddenly thought of the marble in the Space, which she had collected from a construction site before, thinking it might be useful if she ever needed to build a house.

Quickly, she summoned the marble, stone piers, and metal frames from the Space with her mind, and dropped them directly on the wild boars.

Luckily, she had all sorts of things in her Space, having prepared plenty of building materials for future house-building purposes, simply picking up heavy objects without fear of breaking them and smashing them down.

Using weapons would only deplete their stock, and now that they were separated from Duan Shumei and the others, they weren’t sure if they could find someone else to make explosives for them, so they might as well use these heavy objects.

These could be reused, and even if some were damaged, she wouldn’t mind, as they were easily replaceable. After all, who else but Gu Pan could flee carrying such heavy stones and metal?

Now, these items would be unwanted by others.

Soon, the dozen or so wild boars were all knocked down by Gu Pan, if not dead, then barely alive.

Lu Ruisheng was truly astonished, “I never thought the Space could be used like this?”

Gu Pan also smiled, “I only thought of it in the emergency just now. I hadn’t considered this use before. In the future, we should put more stones and such in the Space to use as weapons.”

“Actually, not just stones—water, too, could be lethal with a water gun’s force, I really hadn’t thought of that before.”

“That’s true. How long will it take for these wild boars to die completely?”

Lu Ruisheng said, “Don’t move up there, I will go down first and check.”

With that, Lu Ruisheng cautiously descended the tree.

Once he got down, he finished off the wild boars that weren’t completely dead.

Gu Pan also climbed down the tree, they counted seventeen in total, both were delighted, so many.

After discussing, they decided to take two back to their base and kept the rest in the Space. Since the Space could keep them fresh, they could take out the wild boars at any time, presenting them as freshly killed without raising suspicions.

Having packed everything up, the two of them headed out of the mountains to go home.

Just when they were about to leave the mountain, another pheasant seeking death appeared, giving them another game to hunt.

After arriving at the vehicle, they took out two wild boars and placed them in the back of the truck, also adding the pheasants, and then joyfully returned to the base.

They returned so quickly, which the base’s guards did not expect at all, for gas was needed to venture out, and gas was expensive. Their quick return was actually wasteful, as army units from the base usually left for several months.

But that was someone else’s concern, it wasn’t their place to say anything.

After inspection, the guards’ eyes lit up, no wonder they had returned—they thought these two must have set traps overnight in the mountains, and had caught the wild boars.

Initially, they thought it was strange for such young people to choose the Scavenger role, but now, seeing their capabilities, it was not strange at all—it would be strange if they weren’t working at the base with such skills.

After returning to the base, they first took the game to exchange for contribution points.

When they explained their purpose, the staff members were shocked and came out to see if they had really taken down wild boars.

When they saw the wild boars with blood not yet dried and the two pheasants on the truck, everyone envied them, and, of course, the sound of swallowing saliva followed.

The ordinary people in the base could guarantee eating vegetables and meat once a week, so seeing that they had acquired so much and could even come to exchange was really enviable.

The staff member asked Lu Ruisheng, “Are you going to exchange all of these?”

Lu Ruisheng said, “Keep one chicken, exchange the rest.”

Hearing this, those around understood—they planned to keep one chicken for themselves to eat. It was truly extravagant, as meat and vegetables were currently only sold at specific times and in specific quantities.

After weighing, the staff member said, “Five hundred sixty contribution points. For the base, wild captured animals with fur are exchanged at one point per kilogram. Right now, we do not differentiate based on type, totaling five hundred sixty kilograms, exchanged for five hundred sixty contribution points.”

Gu Pan was a bit surprised; she hadn’t expected so much—fresh meat really was a highly valued resource at the base.

With the fifteen animals in her own ‘Space,’ she could afford to keep a low profile at the base continuously. It really was too fortunate. Gu Pan believed that hunting was not a bad profession.

Lu Ruisheng, thinking of his wife’s slightly upturned lips and what it meant, saw her daydreaming and said to the staff member, “The count is correct, five hundred sixty points.”

Originally thinking the price for the chickens unreasonable, but on further reflection, sometimes it wasn’t good to be too nitpicky—this way when they came next time, the staff wouldn’t fuss over the scale or anything.

The staff issued them a certificate and then directed them to collect the money from the finance department, as the amount was significant and required finance’s involvement.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng collected the contribution points, thanked the staff, and then left.

They had originally planned to sell the car today, but as the sun set, they needed to go back and deal with the chicken, planning to make a chicken stew, so they decided to sell the car tomorrow instead—it wouldn’t hurt to wait another day, and they planned to stock up within two days, so they wouldn’t have to go out.

The timing of the acid rain was uncertain, so they had to prepare early.

Lu Ruisheng, carrying a chicken in one hand and holding Gu Pan with the other, walked towards the parking area.

But they hadn’t gone far when they saw an annoying figure approaching, Song Xiner.

The couple didn’t want to deal with her, but Song Xiner was heading straight for them.

She looked at the chicken in Lu Ruisheng’s hands, puzzled and doubtful, “Where did you guys steal the chicken from?”
