Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times

As Xu Sansan exclaimed, the four teams that had already formed a "cross" formation and were ready to quickly start the mopping-up mode stopped and gathered around immediately, but this time, no one dared to be as impulsive as before.

I saw Hu Ba, with his index finger pressed tightly under his nostril, and only the left half of his beard was left;

Yu Ge opened his palms and directly blocked them in front of his eyes, occasionally showing a little through the gaps between his fingers to take a quick look;

The Marshal rolled his bright eyes and pinched his nostrils with two fingers of his right hand;

The little stutterer turned his back, pricked up his ears, and prepared to rely solely on his hearing.

Xu Sansan rolled her eyes and couldn't help wiping the non-existent sweat on her forehead. Then she quickened her hand movements. After 10 minutes, she pulled out a "big guy" that was one meter long, half a meter wide, and covered with a dark red skin with great effort.

Xu Sansan quickly scraped off the dirt on its skin, then leaned in to smell it, and it had a slightly sweet fragrance.

Yes, there is no doubt about it, this is the mutant sweet potato!

She smiled and nodded at everyone, and concluded with certainty:

"This is a big sweet potato! It's starch! It's food!"

When the four members of the Quartet Team heard that it was starchy food, they immediately couldn't sit still. There was no trace of their previous reserve and fear. They quickly surrounded me one by one and you touched it, I touched it, you rubbed it, and I rubbed it too.

Just kidding, sweet potatoes don’t have any scary hidden properties, they can act without any scruples and recklessly express their passion to this big lump in front of them!

It’s a pity that with a warning of “Ding! Severe pollution!”, the optical brain mercilessly sentenced this big sweet potato to death.

But it doesn’t matter. There is still a vast expanse of “Central Plains” on the top of the mountain. At least we can detect a few slightly contaminated edible ones!

Xu Sansan rolled his eyes, became cautious, and suggested:

"Let's stay here and test for a few hours. When it's almost time to gather in the afternoon, we'll share the coordinates with the Black Tortoise Guards... After all, no one can say for sure whether we can continue testing after they arrive..."

Hu Ba stroked the remaining half of his beard and nodded in agreement.

Yu Ge and Marshal also echoed:

"That's the truth!"

The little stutterer gave a thumbs up and made a concluding statement:

"high!"

So the members of the Sifang team followed the method Xu Sansan used to dig radishes. They first quickly tested the branches and leaves growing on the ground. Only when the test results of the branches and leaves showed "lightly contaminated" did they start to use knives or hoes to dig deeply.

Another four hours passed, and the quartet team had successfully dug out 4 slightly contaminated mutant sweet potatoes. These mutant sweet potatoes and mutant bell peppers were placed less than 11 meters away from the edge of the hillside to facilitate subsequent transportation.

Just as everyone continued to dig the mutated sweet potatoes in front of them, a "chirp chirp" sound suddenly came from the grass in the distance.

The five people immediately stopped what they were doing, looked around vigilantly, and quickly located the direction of the sound.

Xu Sansan pulled the snakeskin hood on his head and extended the shield on his left arm to 1 meter long and half a meter wide. He quickly put the hoe on his waist with his right hand, and then quickly took out four conical snake scales coated with snake venom from the snakeskin layer in the cloth bag.

The snakeskin lining in the cloth bag was specially designed by Xie Yuan, who asked Xu Sansan to ask Lao Qin to customize it.

The main purpose is to enable her to carry and use conical snake scales coated with toxins when she is on a mission. The snake skin of this mutant cobra can perfectly restrain its own snake venom.

As for Xu Sansan, why was he not afraid to touch the conical snake scales coated with highly toxic poison with his hands?

That's because her gloves were also upgraded from frog skin to snake skin gloves, so there was naturally nothing to be afraid of.

It was only 2-3 seconds from the time the sound was heard to now. Soon, more than a dozen huge, brown-red mutant weasels quickly jumped out from the bushes not far away!

The mutant weasels were very agile. They worked in groups of three, opened their bloody mouths, showing their cold sharp teeth, and pounced directly at the five people from the Quartet team scattered in the sweet potato field.

Faced with so many strange beasts at once, Xu Sansan's first reaction was to take out the "meat skin rice dumpling" and launch a direct area attack.

But suddenly she considered that there were still people from the Xuanwu Guards present today. With so many guards, if she rashly used this relatively rare nuclear crystal, there would be too many people and too many mouths, which might cause trouble. So she immediately suppressed the thought that had just flashed through her mind and instantly returned to combat mode.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, the four conical snake scales in her right hand flew out from her fingertips in an instant.

"Tear!"

Two snake scales grazed the forelimbs of the two mutant weasels that pounced towards her.

Due to the interference of the conical snake scales, the attack rhythm of the two mutant weasels was slightly disrupted for a moment.

It’s a pity that, perhaps because the wound was too small and the poisonous snake scales did not pierce deep enough, the two mutant weasels that were hit did not immediately show signs of being poisoned.

Xu Sansan frowned, raised the cart shield, and with a "clang", he quickly blocked the other mutant weasel rushing towards him from the front left.

At the same time, she took out a high-energy knife with her right hand and pressed the switch hard. When the mutant weasel once again leaped towards her from behind the cart, she stabbed it straight into the opponent's head with a "puff"!

After dealing with one, the other two mutant weasels that were scratched by snake scales soon slowed down their movements and their heads began to shake unconsciously from side to side.

This is the poison!

Xu Sansan seized the opportunity and did not give the two mutant weasels any chance to advance any further. She leaped out with her right leg and used the cart in her left arm to block the sharp claws that were attacking her.

The moment his right foot touched the ground, his left leg crossed forward diagonally, directly passing over the mutant weasel and moving behind it.

He tightly grasped the high-energy knife in his right hand, used his waist and abdomen to drive his shoulders to exert force instantly, twisted his body to the right, and swung it backhandedly. With a "puff" sound, the high-energy knife stabbed diagonally into the neck of one of the mutant weasels.

Her movements were continuous, without any pause. She quickly turned the handle of the knife 180 degrees with her right wrist, then pulled it out immediately. She raised her hand forward and threw it 3 meters away. With another "puff", the high-energy knife accurately stabbed into another mutant weasel that was rushing towards her.

At the same time, Hu Ba, Yu Ge and Dashuai drew out the large metal machetes on their backs and slashed at the mutant weasels coming from all directions in a whirlwind manner.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Soon, 4-5 mutant weasels were beheaded and chopped into two pieces.

As for Little Stutter, he quickly threw three micro-explosive bombs in front of him. At the moment when the mutant weasels leaped towards him, Little Stutter pressed the switch neatly. There were three loud "bangs", and the three mutant weasels were instantly blown into pieces.

The entire battle took only 1-2 minutes from start to finish, and soon the members of the quartet team began to search for nuclear crystals from the corpses of the dozen or so mutant weasels.

My luck was pretty good, and I got a total of 9 yellow energy core crystals.

Just as the five people loaded the nuclear crystals and prepared to continue digging sweet potatoes, they heard a "chirp chirp" sound coming from the grass in the distance again, and this time the sound was obviously louder and noisier than before.

Oh no, could it be that the dozen or so mutant weasels just now were just the vanguard troops, and the ones that are now rapidly gathering towards them are the real main force? !

Hu Ba carefully distinguished the figures constantly moving in the bushes ahead, and conservatively estimated that there were at least thousands of them.

Such a huge number is not something that their private army can successfully resist without destroying the large sweet potato field.

Hu Ba immediately shared the coordinate information with Gao Xuan, the captain of the Xuanwu Guard.

Then he loudly deployed:

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Jie, protect the food and prepare to retreat!

Yuge, Marshal, follow me and attack from the rear!"
