Without waiting for Jing Mo's response, Su Nian shook her head.
"But I think it might not work. After all, there's no one maintaining it," Su Nian said.
Jing Mo didn't know what WeChat was, but that wasn't important. "Captain Kong told me that the base has found many talents in this area. They've developed a new program. When network communication is restored, we'll be able to use this new program."
Hearing Jing Mo's explanation, Su Nian wasn't surprised; she felt it was to be expected.
Various programs require maintenance by staff.
But now, the developers and maintainers of these programs are nowhere to be found. Wanting to use these programs is simply wishful thinking.
It was imperative for the base to develop a new app.
The technology from before the apocalypse was still there, so it wasn't difficult to develop a program suitable for the current base.
Su Nian was somewhat looking forward to what the program would be like.
As Su Nian was pondering, she noticed the car slowing down.
Jing Mo stopped the car and looked at Su Nian. "We're about here."
Su Nian looked outside; there wasn't much change in the environment.
It was still endless white snow and trees covered in white.
The two got out of the car, and Jing Mo took out a submachine gun.
Although Jing Mo was wearing gloves, they didn't hinder his movements.
He quickly disassembled the gun, explaining each part to Su Nian as he did so.
Su Nian listened attentively, her gaze following Jing Mo's hands closely.
Jing Mo's voice was calm and clear, pleasant to the ears, and his explanation was easy to understand.
After Jing Mo reassembled the submachine gun, he looked at Su Nian. "How about it?"
"I'll give it a try."
At Jing Mo's words, he put down the submachine gun and made space for Su Nian.
Su Nian stood still, staring at the submachine gun for a while before raising her hands and slowly disassembling it, repeating Jing Mo's earlier words.
She didn't miss a single detail.
When Su Nian finished speaking, the submachine gun in her hand was fully assembled.
Jing Mo applauded, his eyes bright when he looked at Su Nian.
"Su Nian, you're amazing!"
Su Nian raised her chin at Jing Mo. "I think so too!"
Humility is a virtue, but acknowledging one's own greatness is also crucial for self-confidence.
Su Nian hadn't been idle for the past month.
She had downloaded plenty of materials initially, but she had only looked at a fraction of them over the past year.
After searching through them, Su Nian found videos and books about firearms.
Now, Su Nian wasn't the clueless girl she used to be when it came to guns.
Anything in this world, as long as you're willing to learn and put in the effort, you'll eventually reap the rewards.
Jing Mo admired Su Nian. "It's important to recognize your own skills! Only when you fully understand the weapon in your hand can you use it better. Now that you understand it well enough, I can teach you how to shoot."
Su Nian had already read a lot of theoretical knowledge about shooting.
But there was still a difference between theory and practice.
Luckily, with Jing Mo's careful guidance, Su Nian wasn't clueless, and mastery was only a matter of time.
When practicing shooting, there was no concept of time.
Su Nian didn't feel tired; in fact, she found it quite interesting.
It was a completely different feeling from when she wielded the Tang sword.
It wasn't until she noticed that more than half of the bullets in the box were gone that Su Nian reluctantly stopped.
"Why stop? Tired?" Jing Mo asked with a smile.
Su Nian shook her head. "Not really, just felt like it's about enough."
There would be more opportunities for practice in the future.
Bullets were precious; there was no need to waste them.
Although Jing Mo didn't know what Su Nian was thinking, he quickly offered a suggestion.
"I heard from Captain Kong that hunting has become quite common in the base now, whether it's official or private teams. Despite the harsh weather, the number of wild animals has increased dramatically. They are bigger, have thicker hides, and are more aggressive than before. Researchers at the base have found that not only have these wild animals changed in appearance, agility, and temperament, but even their meat has changed. Eating them has no adverse effects on humans, and they taste quite good."
Su Nian listened quietly to Jing Mo, feeling that what he said earlier wasn't the main point.
The real point was the last few sentences.
"So, you want to go hunting too?" Su Nian asked.
Jing Mo nodded. "Since we're already out here, it would be a waste to return with an empty car. Besides, hunting will also help you practice shooting, don't you think?"
Since Jing Mo put it that way, what else could Su Nian say but to agree!
The two got back into the car, and Jing Mo took out a map.
Su Nian looked at the map, noticing some locations marked in red, obviously prepared in advance.
Pointing to a red dot, Jing Mo said, "This is where we are now. If we head north for about an hour, we'll reach here. Captain Kong said that various wild animals are often seen in this area."
Seeing that Jing Mo had everything planned out, Su Nian immediately said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The car started again, heading towards the destination marked by Jing Mo.
Su Nian had lived in such extreme cold for two years, so she could navigate.
But Su Nian found that Jing Mo also had a strong sense of direction.
Despite the snow-covered road, Jing Mo could still accurately find the way without getting lost.
An hour later, the car slowly stopped.
Both Su Nian and Jing Mo had serious expressions on their faces.
About a hundred meters ahead of them were two cars.
If it were just two cars, it wouldn't be anything special.
But now, there were many wild boars around the cars.
Seeing the number of wild boars, even Su Nian felt a bit uneasy.
"In such cold weather, are wild boars reproducing so quickly?" Su Nian whispered. She hadn't expected any answer.
But just as she finished speaking, she heard Jing Mo say, "Research indicates that their physical qualities have evolved, and they aren't afraid of the current cold. Wild boars already had a fast reproduction rate, with one to two litters per year, each litter having four to twelve piglets. Now, their reproductive rate has increased even more, expected to have three to four litters per year."
Su Nian, stunned, didn't know what to say.
Jing Mo's answer was completely unexpected, and the content of his reply shocked Su Nian.
So prolific, no wonder they're sows!
