Sun Yu had just walked a short distance when he turned around. "By the way, did these bugs exist before you left, or did they only appear later?"
"Before we left, we had a bug disaster."
"Did the researchers in the first base find out why?"
"Not at that time. I'm not sure about now."
"I understand. You guys should rest early. We'll set off early tomorrow."
He Xing watched Sun Yu's back disappear from his sight before he closed the window again. When Sun Yu was around, Xia Ju had been holding back without speaking. Now that Sun Yu had walked away, Xia Ju could not hold it in anymore. "Are their lives so hard? Why would they want to eat bugs?"
"The lives of ordinary people are harder than you can imagine," Du Yue said earnestly. "Bugs might be the only way for them to get protein."
If there was another way, no one would be willing to eat bugs.
