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

An hour and a half later, the cool and awesome flying vehicle of Shunfeng Escort Agency finally swayed and lifted the "little broken egg" back to the metal recycling station in the southeast corner of the base city.

Since Xu Sansan had informed One-Eyed Zhang in advance, the recycling station had been tidied up at this moment. The open ground was just enough space for the "Little Broken Egg" and Shunfeng's advanced "flying saucer" to stop.

One-eyed Zhang looked at the "little broken egg" that was covered with scratches and looked much older. His brows were furrowed. Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He stretched out his index finger with a trembling hand and spoke uncertainly:

"This...this...what happened? It's not broken again, is it?"

It's only been a day since the repair was completed, right?

One-eyed Zhang took a deep breath and began to feel extremely regretful for the downtime and maintenance package he had decided on before.

According to this evil plan, even if he charges 1200 contribution points per day as the official price for parking, he will probably still have to pay others for maintenance!

Oh shit!

This time I suffered a huge loss!

As soon as Xu Sansan got off the downwind "flying saucer", he saw the one-eyed Zhang with a look of fear and regret. He touched his nose with a guilty conscience and laughed:

"Master Zhang, you don't have to worry about the repairs today. I'll talk to you alone after Hu Ba and the others wake up."

After saying that, he led Jin Guifeng to open the manual sliding door of "Little Broken Egg" again.

She knew that Jin Guifeng would not leave easily unless she gave him enough benefits.

So, on the way back, not only did he keep nagging in her ear about how he was going to take a cut and add money, but now he also came to personally inspect the goods that were being taken.

Xu Sansan rolled his eyes, and led Jin Guifeng to the door of the storage room. He pointed inside and said to him, "Look for yourself!"

When Jin Guifeng raised her eyes, she saw five people lying in a disorderly manner on the floor of the storage room. Four of them had no beards, no faces, and no chins. They looked horrible.

Xu Sansan coughed and added:

"These are all living people. They can't be counted as supplies and included in your commission!"

Jin Guifeng curled her lips. Did she think he was a fool?

He glanced at the pile of straw in the corner and was speechless again:

Why does Xu Sansan always bring back such a lot of useless things that take up space? Before it was a pile of shit, and now it’s a pile of grass. What kind of special hobby does this have?

Then he pointed at the 11 mutant wood rat corpses beside Qin Ergou and said:

“Are they all lightly contaminated?”

Xu Sansan sneered and rolled his eyes:

"What good things are you thinking! These are all two-star alien beasts, where do so many slightly contaminated ones come from?

There are only three slightly contaminated mutant wood rats!"

After hearing this, Jin Guifeng's heart trembled. It was another two-star monster!

No wonder the boss attaches so much importance to the business of the private army team. It is a bit dangerous, but the level of the supplies is impeccable!

Two-star alien beast, hehe! Two-star alien beast!

Jin Guifeng had already begun to imagine how he would appear majestically and impressively when he returned to the escort agency with a bunch of two-star exotic beasts to attract attention.

After Xu Sansan finished speaking, he saw that Jin Guifeng seemed to be distracted, so he coughed again and pretended to be generous and said:

"Considering that you really had a hard time today, of these three lightly contaminated mutant wood rats, you can take one, our team can take one, and you can keep one for yourself. As for the remaining eight moderately contaminated mutant wood rats, our team and you can split them 3-1 according to the old rules. How about that, ok?"

OK?

That’s awesome!

This mutant wood mouse is so big, it’s almost as big as Xu Sansan!

It’s all meat!

Although Jin Guifeng had nodded in her heart a thousand times to show her agreement, she was worried that it would be too obvious to openly take kickbacks from the escort agency's commission, making his behavior too embarrassing. What if he was discovered?

So he narrowed his eyes, smacked his lips, and showed a reluctant expression:

"This... I can't explain it to the escort agency..."

Xu Sansan rolled his eyes in his heart again and cursed secretly, "What's so hard to explain? I see you always feel justified in taking the kickbacks, don't you?"

So the corner of his mouth twitched:

"Since it's hard to explain, let's just do it in a businesslike manner. Our team will keep 3 of these three slightly contaminated mutant wood rats, and you can take 1.5. How do you think?"

Jin Guifeng's face suddenly froze. What the hell, why didn't he play by the rules?

His fists were clenched and cracking, and he was about to explode when he heard Xu Sansan chuckle twice and said with a playful smile:

"It's just a joke! It's just a joke!"

Xu Sansan spoke up in time to smooth things over, mainly because he took into consideration that he might need Jin Guifeng in the future, since her "flying saucer" was so awesome!

So he thought for a moment, counted the mutant wood rat corpses in the storage room with a pretentious look, and apologized awkwardly:

"Oh! Sorry, I was blind and miscounted. This time we only brought back 10 mutant wood rat corpses, and two were slightly contaminated..."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of plastic sheet from his cloth bag and covered the extra slightly contaminated mutant wood mouse with it. He also signaled to Jin Guifeng with his eyes, "I have paved the way for you. You can figure out the rest yourself." Finally, he added with a smile:

"Well, now you can explain it, right?"

Jin Guifeng looked at the slightly contaminated mutant wood rat corpse that Xu Sansan had deliberately pushed aside in front of her, and thought to herself:

I didn't expect you to be so smart!

Then he touched his chin and said lightly with difficulty:

"This... this... this is not something I can't explain. I'll go back and write a detailed mission report... that'll be all..."

Xu Sansan did not expose Jin Guifeng's greedy look when she saw material things. After all, she herself was probably in the same state of shamelessness when tempted by various treasures. So, it was better not to laugh at the pot calling the kettle black.

Just as Jin Guifeng returned to his "flying saucer" with a smile on his face and was collecting the commission that belonged to Shunfeng, the four giant eggs that Xu Sansan had hidden in the thatch pile in the "little broken egg" storage room suddenly made a slight "click" sound.

Next came a relatively large giant egg. I don’t know if it was on the way back, but because the “little broken egg” swung too much in the air, it hit the metal wall of the storage room. At this time, a tiny crack suddenly appeared on the top of the giant egg.

Then, a stream of pure and transparent egg liquid slowly flowed down the outer shell of the giant egg, and with a "pop" sound, it dripped onto the leather plunger that Xu Sansan had also placed in the thatched pile.

The transparent egg liquid with rich green energy was quickly absorbed and integrated by the leather bowl at the bottom of the plunger.

In an instant, a faint green light began to linger around the leather bowl.

The cracks on the bowl that had appeared when he flew to block the poisonous arrow today were suddenly repaired under the blessing of the healing energy, and it also contained some inexplicable power...

..............................

Xu Sansan waited on the aircraft for more than 30 minutes, and Hu Ba and the other four finally woke up.

"who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I...I...I..."

She looked at the four people with confused expressions, sighed, and then briefly told them what had happened today.

In fact, Xu Sansan had been thinking about the secret of "pork skin rice dumplings" all the way, and how to mention it cleverly and gracefully when reporting to the Sifang team after the mission.

But after thinking about it, I realized that no matter what, it could not explain the annihilation of the Demon Wolf Squad, the slightly contaminated chestnuts that filled the toilet, and the corpses of several mutant wood rats in the corner of the storage room.

So she just gave up and set everything on fire. Of course, she cunningly omitted the information about the temporary protective shield and the giant egg:

"...That's it. Every time I asked you to lie down, it was because I was about to use this scent-type nuclear crystal..."

After saying that, Xu Sansan stared at the expressions of the four people. If they showed even a hint of jealousy or greed, she wouldn't mind releasing the "poison gas" in the aircraft again...

However, what she didn't expect was that instead of showing any surprised expressions, they looked as if they knew it.

Especially the little stutterer, he seemed to be relieved instantly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Xu Sansan certainly didn't know that when the stutterer heard about this nuclear crystal that could release "poison gas", his first reaction was:

It turns out it’s not my feet that smell!

Hahahahaha!

that is really good!

Finally I don’t have to wash my feet today!

Hu Ba also smiled slightly. In fact, they had already guessed it after they woke up last time. However, since Xiao Xu did not say it explicitly, they did not want to point it out out of respect, so everyone tacitly let the matter go.

And now, unexpectedly, Xiao Xu actually took the initiative to confess the matter to them. No matter what her purpose was, at least she had gradually established trust and a sense of belonging to the Quartet.

This is what makes Hu Ba feel most gratified.

So he shook the beard that had completely disappeared under his nostrils and promised:

"Xiao Xu, don't worry, this nuclear crystal is your secret weapon. I guarantee here in the name of the captain of the Quartet that our Quartet will never reveal any relevant information to the outside world!"

He paused, looked at Yu Ge, the Marshal, and the Little Stutterer, and continued to emphasize:

"This time we were attacked by the Demon Wolf Squad, and the situation was very dangerous. Xiao Xu, you saved the lives of the four of us again! We...we really are..."

“I’m so ashamed!”

"No repayment!"

"Thank…thank…you so much!"

Yu Ge, Dashuai and Xiao Jieba all added to the discussion.

Xu Sansan scratched her head in embarrassment. She was not very good at such overly sentimental scenes, so she waved her hands and said:

"In fact, I have received a lot of help from everyone. We are... we are in the same team. It would be awkward to talk about repaying or not..."

So the five of them shared their gains in a round of business promotion and confession:

There were 128 slightly contaminated mutant chestnuts, after deducting the 10 that needed to be handed in to the task force, the remaining 118 were divided equally between Xu Sansan and Qin Ergou, and the remaining 35 were divided equally between the four members of the Quartet team.

Because the storage cave of the mutant chestnuts was discovered by Qin Ergou and the finishing work was completed by Xu Sansan, when Hu Ba proposed this distribution plan, everyone nodded happily and expressed their agreement.

As for how the four members of the Quartet team were going to deal with the 4 mutant chestnuts, Xu Sansan did not ask any more questions. However, because the four had been turned down when buying food on the black market before, they would definitely store these 48 mutant chestnuts themselves.

As for the distribution of the remaining 1 lightly contaminated mutant wood rat and 4 moderately contaminated mutant wood rats, it was very simple. Xu Sansan took the lightly contaminated one, and the remaining 4 moderately contaminated ones were equally divided among the 4 members of the Sifang team. As for Qin Ergou, he had no merit in killing rats, so naturally he had no share in the distribution.

The last thing was the big bag of nuclear crystals. Although the four members of the Quartet team had killed quite a few mutant wood rats, they did not participate in the final stage of opening the nuclear crystals, which was an extremely luck-testing stage.

So after several rounds of refusing and pushing back, the final solution was for Xu Sansan to take all the high-level nuclear crystals, and the four members of the Quartet team to equally divide the remaining intermediate and low-level nuclear crystals, finally ending this happy but rather wordy "division of the spoils" session.

Xu Sansan watched the four people gradually disappear in the recycling station, and said to the one-eyed Zhang who was still beating his chest and stamping his feet, regretting his huge loss:

"Master Zhang, I'll talk to you about the aircraft when the captain and his men come tomorrow."

Then he pointed at Qin Ergou, who was snoring and had been carried to the floor of the metal house by the Marshal, and said embarrassedly:

"He probably won't wake up tonight, so I can only trouble you to take him in for one night. But don't worry, he won't stay here for nothing..."

After saying that, he pushed the old cleaning car that Qin Ergou had left here in the morning and ran quickly towards the South City Gate.

And this old cleaning truck once again bore the unbearable weight of life.

In order to ensure the safety of the giant eggs, Xu Sansan covered the bottom bed of the cleaning truck with three layers of straw inside and outside, and carefully wrapped the four giant eggs in it.

Then he piled all the 35 mutant chestnuts into the upper cargo bed, covered them lightly with plastic sheeting, and set off. This sloppy treatment was indeed not as good as the luxurious soft bags on the lower bed.

At midnight, Xu Sansan returned to the cabin panting. Without even taking a breath or drinking a sip of water, he immediately handed the temporary protective shield and shielding device that he had been keeping tightly in the cloth bag to Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan looked at the status of the blocker and nodded slightly. Fortunately, the shielding effect was good and there should be no problem.

Just as he was about to turn around and go to the next studio to study the positioning device on the temporary protective cover overnight, he saw Xu Sansan blinking her starry eyes and very exaggeratedly lifted the thatched mat in the bottom bed of the old cleaning vehicle. At the same time, her homemade BGM sound effect was playing in his ears: "The time to witness the miracle has come! Thump thump thump~~~"

Four familiar giant eggs suddenly appeared in front of Xie Yuan!

His pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body trembled:

This is!

Healing Dome?!
