Chapter 133: Catch it back and study it
The delicate fruit that looked like it was well-hydrated and delicious suddenly came out of his hand, Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yan Murong with a frown.
"You're sick, didn't you just feed it what you eat, as for being so careful?" Zhao Chen said angrily. "You don't have to do this if I didn't catch the rabbit for you, right? What's wrong with the wild fruit, can't the wild fruit be eaten first? ――If you don't eat it, why can't I eat it? ”
"Eat if you want to die." Yan Murong looked at Zhao Chen and said lightly, beckoning to the Wolf King, and the Wolf King put the bunch of wild fruits in front of Yan Murong's eyes with a branch in his mouth.
Yan Murong dragged down a wild fruit and looked at it himself.
The size of a child's fist - or rather, like a small apple that has not yet grown, but the fruit is red on the outside and looks ripe. This Yan Murong didn't care, after all, there were many unknown things in the deep mountains and old forests. It's normal that I haven't seen this fruit.
He leaned under his nose and sniffed it. There was a faint fragrance on the wild fruit. He took out the dagger he carried with him and cut open the wild fruit, and the white and tender flesh appeared in front of him.
Looking at Yan Murong's series of actions, Zhao Chen remembered what Yan Murong said to the villager in the isolation room. Immediately, fragrant sweat flowed down his forehead.
"Where did you get it? Take me there. With that, Yan Murong stood up, put his backpack on his back, and without dismantling the tent, he followed the wolf king towards the woods. Zhao Chen picked up the gun from the ground and trotted to follow.
After walking with the Wolf King for less than five minutes, Yan Murong saw that there were several trees in front of him that were not too tall, and the trees were full of the kind of wild fruits that he had brought back just now.
"Is this the pathogen?" Zhao Chen looked at the red wild fruit and asked.
"I don't know." Yan Murong walked over, jumped on the spot, picked a wild fruit from it, fiddled with it in his hand, and said. "I think that's what it should be - I don't know the exact location, but if the villagers go into the mountains to hunt, or into this kind of deep mountain, they will definitely not go too far. It was about an hour and a half from the time I entered the mountain yesterday to meet you, and if you go by the speed of those villagers, it is about an hour - an hour's journey, which is logical. ”
"This wild fruit is very beautiful, how can it spread the virus?" As Zhao Chen spoke, he took out his digital camera from a small bag that was not too big and took a picture of the trees full of wild fruits.
"What are you doing?" Yan Murong asked suspiciously.
"Take a picture of it, go back and use it as a research topic, and I'm going to write this for my doctoral dissertation."
After speaking, Zhao Chen found that he had actually told the truth, and looked at Yan Murong with an embarrassed expression.
Yan Murong smiled bitterly.
Doctoral dissertation, research - affection is her real purpose. said that she was stupid in reading, and she really didn't wronged her. There were so many infected villagers waiting for help, and she was still in the mood to think about her paper.
Yan Murong smiled, and did not dwell on this topic, but looked at the wild fruit in his hand, and was a little puzzled.
If a few infected villagers were infected after eating this wild fruit, how can they explain the other people who also ate the wild fruit but were fine?
Yan Murong suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he thought.
At this time, Yan Murong suddenly heard two "chirp" sounds from the trees, and looked up to find that there were several monkeys sitting on the wild fruit trees, riding on the branches of the trees and holding the wild fruits to nibble.
"That's not right." Yan Murong looked at a few monkeys and said to himself.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Chen asked suspiciously.
"Do you see those monkeys?" Yan Murong asked, pointing to a few monkeys in the tree.
"See, it's cute." Zhao Chen watched a few monkeys holding wild fruits and nibbling on them, while staring at himself with two round eyes, a beautiful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said. "I didn't expect there to be a lot of wildlife in the mountains."
I knew it, I knew that it was more difficult to talk to her than to play the piano to the cow, Yan Murong thought helplessly.
Who told you to see that it's not cute? Who made you lament that there is so much wildlife here?
"I-Did I say something wrong?" Looking at Yan Murong's face, Zhao Chen asked weakly.
Yan Murong stared at this stupid woman for a long time before explaining. "I'm not letting you see the monkeys, I'm letting you see what the monkeys are doing."
"They're eating wild fruits, and they're hungry too." Zhao Chen said without hesitation.
Damn, the answer is so accurate, fools know that those monkeys are eating wild fruits.
"Ahh "I see what you mean, you're saying the fruit is food for these monkeys?"
Okay, you can be considered smart, Yan Murong thought with relief, but before he could praise her a few words, he heard Zhao Chen tilt his head and ask. "But what does this have to do with whether it is the source of infection?"
Resisting the urge to pull off her pants and slap her buttocks, Yan Murong explained expressionlessly. "You said it yourself, this wild fruit is the food of the monkeys, and since it is their food, it must not have been eaten for a day or two - why haven't they been infected?"
"That's right." Zhao Chen was suddenly stunned, waiting for her eyes to ask, obviously, her current brain has also turned a corner.
"Isn't this wild fruit the source of infection?"
"That's not good." Yan Murong looked at a few monkeys and said. "Maybe this wild fruit is the source of infection, maybe—"
"Maybe what?" Zhao Chen asked urgently.
"Maybe those monkeys are the source of the infection."
As he spoke, Yan Murong wiped the fruit in his hand, opened his mouth and took a bite.
"Ah, you- how did you eat it?" Zhao Chen saw that Yan Murong had bitten the wild fruit, and immediately exclaimed. "You don't want to die?"
"It should be fine." Yan Murong laughed and said. "I'll tell you a secret - your crow's mouth is accurate, and so is my intuition."
As he spoke, Yan Murong pointed to a few monkeys on the tree and said. "It's okay with this fruit, those monkeys may be the source of the infection."
"How do you know?" was said by Yan Murong to be a crow's mouth, Zhao Chen couldn't care less about being angry and asked. "What if not? And thou hast eaten it, thou foolishest? What to do, what to do now. ”
Looking at Zhao Chen's worried expression, Yan Murong smiled. "There is a way."
"What's the solution?" Zhao Chen hurriedly asked. "Say it quickly, let's go down the mountain quickly, and I'll find a way to save you—although you're a nasty person, I can't watch you die."
"Damn." Yan Murong leaned in frustration and said helplessly. "Can't you hope I'm better? When I say I have a way, I don't mean that there is a way to save lives, but that there is a way to determine what the source of infection is. ”
"How can you be sure?"
Yan Murong stretched out his hand and pointed to the monkey sitting on the top of the tree looking at him curiously and said. "Catch it and study it."
