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

Xu Sansan led the four members of the Square Team into the room. Old Qin looked at the four identical square faces and the eight-cornered beards under their nostrils, and shook his head in his heart:

Is this the Quartet team that Qin Ergou wanted to join no matter how hard he tried?

Why does it look so unreliable?

Then he looked at the new matchmaker mole on Xu Sansan's right cheek:

Alas, the world is really in decline, and people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!

Old Qin quickly glanced at Xu Sansan——

I didn't pull the cart, my bag was flat, and I didn't have a big belly, so I had a cold face:

"Why, aren't you here to sell things today?"

Xu Sansan retorted in his heart, if I have something, of course I will go to the auction, do you think I am stupid?

But he still looked friendly:

"Today's main theme is shopping."

Lao Qin snorted, put his hands behind his back, and turned back to the counter:

Hey!

The eavesdropping device is finally gone, and I can finally be myself.

Ahem, although I have always been acting in my true colors, no matter what, at least I don’t have to worry so much now:

"What do you want to buy? Can I recommend something to you?"

Hu Ba shook his octagonal beard under his nostrils and said:

"Boss, we want to see the protective masks."

Lao Qin raised his eyebrows:

Wow! Is this a scent-type nuclear crystal?

I can't believe this team is so strong.

Lao Qin's index finger began to tap rhythmically on the counter out of habit, and his mind was calculating rapidly.

As soon as Xu Sansan saw Lao Qin like this, he knew he was in trouble:

This unscrupulous businessman must be up to something bad again.

So he coughed lightly, winked at Yu Ge, and then deliberately said in a pretentious tone:

"Ah! I suddenly remembered that the supply department of the private barracks seemed to say that there would be an event tomorrow, and all the supplies that can be exchanged will be 5% off!"

The Marshal stared at him with his bright eyes, touched the back of his head, and was about to say something to refute, but was forcibly stopped by Yu Ge.

Yu Ge gave Xu Sansan a knowing look and answered quickly:

"Ah! Yes! The notice was just issued today! How about we just do it tomorrow..."

Having said that, he also deliberately left some technical blank space.

Lao Qin looked at the artificial and childish performance of these people and snorted coldly. It's just a discount, can't you be more direct? Why do you have to put on such a clumsy show with him?

So he cleared his throat and asked casually:

"Are you going to use your personal account or the team's public account?"

When Xu Sansan heard this question, he felt a sense of déjà vu, as if in his previous life, his boss had asked him if he wanted an invoice.

Who would have thought that Hu Ba and Lao Qin were in sync at this moment, and he replied tactfully:

"It's all personal accounts. As long as the boss's quality is guaranteed, we don't need transaction records."

Are you kidding? Why do we need transaction records? We came to the black market to buy protective masks to conceal our tracks. If there were a transaction record, we could easily check the backend data of the private barracks to find out the truth!

Isn’t the secret of the scent-type nuclear crystal exposed?

After hearing this, Lao Qin nodded slightly:

"Since there is no need for transaction records, the price can definitely be cheaper. After all, less tax will be paid, and everyone knows that."

Xu Sansan looked as if he had learned something new. It turned out that the routines of the end of the world were all the same.

Lao Qin pointed to the middle of the third shelf against the wall opposite:

"Well, this is the latest style in the store. There are only five in stock. If you can take them all at once, I can make a call..."

Lao Qin paused, struggling in his heart for a second, then he gritted his teeth and said:

“8% off!”

Hu Bachong gestured to Xiao Jieba, who, as the temporary equipment manager of the Quartet Team, quickly picked up the protective masks from the shelf and started checking them very efficiently.

The most important component of a protective mask is the mask's filter device. A good filter device can accurately identify oxygen molecules and isolate all substances except oxygen.

The five masks in Lao Qin’s store are just this kind of protective masks equipped with better filtering devices.

The little stutterer nodded, indicating that the mask was of good quality.

So Hu Ba and Lao Qin fought back and forth for several rounds, and finally ended with the remark that Qin Ergou would still need everyone's care in the future, and Lao Qin forced him to give him a 75% discount.

The quartet team spent a total of 4500 points to acquire these five protective masks.

Before leaving, Xu Sansan secretly slipped the small note from Xie Yuan to Lao Qin. Lao Qin went upstairs, quickly read the contents, and then took down a heavy metal box from a safe in his room. He winked at Xu Sansan and asked softly:

"Weren't you injured before? Are you healed now?"

Xu Sansan raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was asking about Xie Yuan's situation. He wondered how this old fox could guess everything. So he nodded slightly, took the box, and left with the four members of the Sifang team.

In a shanty town, Xie Yuan, shirtless and sweating profusely, dug out a basement in the back room that was 5 meters long, 2 meters wide and 3 meters high respectively.

He first transported the excavated soil to the metal house next door in carts, and then began to use his own modified tools to polish and reinforce the walls of the basement.

More than an hour later, the basement was completed. He went to the next door and quickly built a 1-meter-high and 5-centimeter-thick wall with the excavated soil along the other two boundaries except the metal wall and the hut. He also tied plastic sheeting on the outside of the high wall. In this way, the two neighboring families could only see the tall plastic sheeting but could not find the earth wall behind the plastic sheeting, so they would not associate a basement with the hut.

Of course, such an earth wall can protect against gentlemen, but it certainly cannot protect against villains.

Xie Yuan took out the moderately contaminated mutant bell pepper seeds that he had separated earlier from the storage room, and hid them evenly in the mud wall. If anyone tried to break the plastic sheet or climb over the wall directly, they would be blinded instantly.

Yes, these moderately contaminated mutated bell pepper seeds may only be an eye-irritation to the genetic warriors and Xu Sansan who has healing energy protecting his body, but for ordinary people, they will be devastating damage.

After setting up the defense system next door, Xie Yuan evenly scattered a whole wall of mutant bell pepper seeds in the wicker fence on the cottage's side. After all, there were important supplies stored here, so he had to be more cautious.

After finishing the task, he drank a sip of water, tied his headscarf around his neck, and fastened his "little button". Only then did he feel at ease to paddle his small cart, carrying a sack of tools, towards the special parking space with a favorable wind.

This was the first time he left the shantytown in broad daylight since his "faked death".

Xie Yuan breathed in the long-lost air under the sunshine, it smelled like freedom!

After arriving at the parking space with the coordinates determined, he looked at the weathered aircraft in front of him and instantly understood why San San always called it "little broken egg, little broken egg". It was indeed... too broken to be seen.

Seeing that the agreed time had not yet arrived and there was no one else around, One-Eyed Zhang should still be on the way, so Xie Yuan took out the key given to him by San San from his pocket, and got on the aircraft directly amid the creaking sound of the bearings turning.

One hour and 1 minutes later, Duyaner drove a second-hand electric tricycle and finally arrived at the parking spot in a hurry.

Oh shit!

He had already set out two hours in advance, but was still an hour and a half late!

It is impossible for One-Eyed Zhang to admit the fact that he, a senior technical engineer, is actually a person with poor sense of direction.

Not only is he a road idiot, he also can't read maps. I really don't know how he can understand those complex and exquisite technical design drawings on a daily basis. I can only say euphemistically, "It's like a different world, different mountains" to comfort old man Zhang, who is now a little wilted by the sun.

When the one-eyed man, panting and limping, opened the unlocked aircraft door, what he saw was a cockpit that had been torn to pieces and was being modified to the extreme.

The one-eyed man pointed at Xie Yuan, who had already spotted him but was still immersed in his modification business, with a trembling hand, and said in a hoarse voice of disbelief:

"You...you...you're from the aircraft industry?!"

At the same time, Qiangzi, who had returned to the single dormitory of the guard post, looked at the miniature eavesdropping device on the table and frowned:

It seems that Xie Yuan has not contacted Lao Qin, so is he still alive?

Qiangzi closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he recalled what he found in Scar's closet one night -

Why did "Light of Dawn" appear in his closet? !

Is this what the base means?

Yueying knew my conditions, why didn't she mention it before?
