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

Half an hour later, One-Eyed Zhang came down from the aircraft with a dark face, turned on his computer, and read out the losses recorded on it stiffly like an emotionless robot:

“The outer shell had varying degrees of damage, with pits in many places, which seriously affected the smoothing effect of the aircraft on the airflow, thereby reducing the flight speed;

The balancer was severely damaged and key parts needed to be replaced;

The energy converter was loose and off the rails, and it was uncertain whether the connection could be restored;

The brake function is moderately impaired;

The bottom landing pad was badly hit..."

While listening to the report, Hu Ba wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and kept stealing glances at Xu Sansan.

Xu Sansan lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at the quotation that was about to come out. He looked at the message on the computer and smiled awkwardly. Before One-Eyed Zhang could give the final price, he interrupted him:

"Um... Master Zhang... I have a friend here who is very proficient in machinery. He said he is willing to provide repair services for free. If that's the case, if we only count the material cost... what's the price?"

The 10 contribution points that One-Eyed Zhang was about to shout out were stuck in his throat:

what? !

Repair it yourself?!

How could anyone know this original model better than him?

The professional ability that the tech geek was proud of was suddenly challenged in broad daylight!

So he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a suspicious look:

"A friend who's good at mechanics? Who? Is he as good as you?"

Xu Sansan was sweating. Hey, she had just bought materials for Xie Yuan once before. The real one was Xie Yuan, not her!

Why does Xie Yuan have to compare himself?

How did she answer this?

Thinking that Xie Yuan today should be more powerful than he was yesterday, after all, he ate a double-yolk egg, he nodded without any guilt:

“It’s quite amazing!”

One-eyed Zhang sucked in a breath of cold air. If such a person really existed, would his position as the royal maintenance engineer be in jeopardy?

If they replaced themselves, would the aircraft not end up in the recycling station?

What about the downtime fee of 500 contribution points per day?

This recycling station doesn't make much money to begin with. Every year, there are various local taxes, value-added taxes, street construction taxes and surcharges, and amortization of protective cover maintenance fees, etc. The expenses for the next 30 days all depend on the downtime fees...

Xu Sansan quickly saw what was going on in One-Eyed Zhang's heart from his uncertain face, so he coughed lightly and explained:

"Oh, but my friend is usually quite busy, and he can only spare some free time in the next 1-2 days to help me. How about it?"

One-eyed Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied indifferently: "Then let him come in a while, I'll see if he is really capable of doing this repair work, and then I'll give you a quote based on the actual repair situation."

Xu Sansan chuckled awkwardly:

"Well... it's like this. My friend is poor and can't afford to rent a house in the base city. In order to avoid the maintenance work being interrupted by the base's access control at 18:00 in the evening, it's best for us to carry out the maintenance outside the base city... hehe..."

One-eyed Zhang rolled his eyes. This quartet team is full of trouble!

So throw down the sentence:

"How to get the aircraft out of the city? You guys figure it out on yourselves."

Then he went to pack his toolbox.

Xu Sansan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to the four members of the Sifang team:

"Don't worry, I will find a way to transport the aircraft to a safe place for repairs."

Seeing that everyone in the Sifang team was very satisfied with this arrangement, Xu Sansan turned around and waved to Qin Ergou:

"There are 35 slightly contaminated mutant chestnuts in the aircraft's toilet. You can take them home later. Remember to give one to Master Zhang. You have to pay for last night's accommodation yourself."

Qin Ergou grinned, laughed and ran quickly to hug his trophy. He generously gave a slightly contaminated mutant chestnut to One-Eyed Zhang.

One-eyed Zhang looked at the starchy food in his hand and suddenly felt that it wouldn't be a problem to have a few more sleeps last night...

Xu Sansan thought of the request that Lao Qin had made to her last night, so she posted a message on the dark web, and then very seriously instructed Qin Ergou:

"Next, there is a very important task for you to do..."

After hearing this, Qin Ergou was very excited. He picked up the plunger and promised passionately:

"Don't worry, Third Sister! Leave this matter to me!"

Xu Sansan twitched his lips and asked, "Are you sure you didn't over-understand what I meant?"

At the same time, in the fitness area at the center of the private army camp, Big Bear, who had just crushed several large rocks on his chest, winked at the members of the Giant Bear Squad:

"What happened?"

He raised his chin towards Jianfeng from the Qilin Helm Team not far away:

"Isn't this kid like he's full of energy every day? Why is he suddenly a little absent-minded today?"

The muscular man standing next to Xiong Da, Xiong Er, put down the dumbbells in his hand and shook his head nonchalantly:

"Who knows? Maybe they feel a sense of crisis because our team's total compensation has greatly exceeded that of Qilin Rudder."

At this moment, Jianfeng, who was staring at the ranking of the four teams on the big screen with an incredible look on his face, had been stunned for a long time:

how come?

How did they get promoted to E-level?

And as long as you complete one more task, you can directly rise to level D!

This is impossible!

Jianfeng's twisted sense of superiority suddenly suffered a critical blow. While muttering to himself, he opened the dark web and began to search for the latest information of the Quartet.

The information about the Quartet was as scarce as before.

In addition to the public information about several mission applications, Jianfeng only found two new pieces of information:

The first one was a mission message from a few days ago, from the ID "Four-party Squadron - Xiao Xiong Xu": I wonder if the Guard’s spaceship needs professional toilet cleaners?

The second one was an ad that was posted just one minute ago, also from the ID "四方小队——小凶许":

Shocked! How come I didn't find out about such a professional toilet cleaning service earlier? !

I know your toilet best!

If you are interested, please leave a message "Ergou" first, and then we can chat privately.

Jian Feng stared at this strange ID and couldn't help but frowned:

Little villain Xu?

A new member of the Quartet team?

At the same time, in a room in the inner city of the base, amidst the noisy electromagnetic sounds, a majestic voice sounded:

"Did any recent monitoring find anything?"

"Report! Everything is normal! Nothing unusual was found!"

"I heard that the scavenger went to an auction with him?"

"Report! Yes! However, the system data of the underground auction has always been directly managed by Base City No. 903. Our technicians are currently unable to crack their firewall and extract the data inside."

"Where's the informant?"

"Report! The underground auction's informant has failed again..."

"Humph! Is Base City No. 903 still so heavily guarded? What's the situation at the private barracks?"

"Report! We have obtained all the data of the private army camp, but we did not find the specific information of the scavenger in the background database. She does not seem to be a formal member. We only know that her ID on the dark web is Xiao Xiong Xu..."

"Xiao Xiong Xu...? Doesn't his accent... sound like someone from outside... Base 103?"

Xie Yuan seems to have never come into contact with anyone outside of Base City No. 103...

"Report! The Brotherhood said that it is about to enter a critical stage!"

"Well... since the East City Gate has been a bit uneasy recently, give orders to send people to find an opportunity to remove the surveillance cameras at the second-hand store on the black market, and recruit all the members of the Brotherhood!"

"Yes!"

In the recycling station in the southeast corner, Xu Sansan finally persuaded Jin Guifeng to agree to her plan of buying on credit first and paying later. Then he watched as the advanced "flying saucer" with the wind easily picked up the "little broken egg" and flew out of the base city.

Xu Sansan and Jin Guifeng reached an agreement to let the Sifang team's aircraft park at a special downwind parking spot 2.5 kilometers outside the south gate of the base for a day. After Xie Yuan's maintenance work was completed, Xu Sansan would settle the parking fee.

After Jin Guifeng left cursing, Xu Sansan followed the list of materials Xie Yuan gave her before he left, spent 18,945 contribution points, and bought a whole truckload of extremely precise and sensitive parts from One-eyed Zhang.

These parts were purchased primarily for temporary shields, truck modifications, and possible future equipment.

Xu Sansan fixed the parts on the cart, covered them with plastic sheeting, and left the recycling station with Hu Ba and four others.

Since the aircraft needs maintenance, we naturally cannot accept the mission today.

So the four members of the Sifang team made an appointment with Xu Sansan to go to the black market at the South City Gate at noon and buy a few protective masks to ensure that the next time Xu Sansan uses the "Meat Skin Zongzi", the entire Sifang team will be able to maintain its combat effectiveness.

As for why they did not choose to exchange through the supply department of the private barracks, it was naturally to conceal their tracks. After all, they were a team that had just left the demotion pool and suddenly went to exchange for protective masks. It was inevitable that other teams would guess that they might have an odor-type nuclear crystal in their hands.

Qin Ergou, who had left early, pushed his old cleaning cart full of goods, waved the plunger in his hand, and secretly drank a bowl of chicken soup for himself:

My third sister asked me to focus on the toilet cleaning business of each private soldier team in the base city these days. This must be to allow me to infiltrate the enemy first so as to gather intelligence!

Such an important task was entrusted to me!

Qin Ergou!

You must live up to your reputation as a plunger!

Under the bright sun in the morning, the plunger in Qin Ergou's hand seemed to sense the call of its master, and the bowl suddenly emitted a faint green light...

At the same time, in a secret room of the Brotherhood at the Dongchengmen black market, more than a dozen unconscious people were lying on the ground. A thin metal needle was inserted into their arms, and the top of the metal needle was connected to a plastic catheter. In the plastic catheter, some liquid was continuously transporting something.

Jack Su pointed at the dozen people lying on the ground and ordered the person in the corner:

"Once the animals meet the standards for release, we will start the test. They will be divided into three groups: external injuries, internal injuries, and infections."

A short, child-like person in the corner said in a low voice:

"Yes!"

Just as he finished speaking, a few sharp and piercing "squeaks" came from behind him. In the shadow of the corner, in a thickened metal box, a mutant rat with shining hungry eyes was showing its sharp teeth and drooling.
