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

Led by Ian, Xu Sansan and his group walked along the four-lane road, stopping and starting, heading towards the nearest police station.

As they walked, Ian continued to introduce the major events of Base 903 today—

Nutrient solution launch event!

"Will everyone from the base come?"

Xie Yuan was obviously worried that he would meet people from Base City No. 103 at such an important sales event.

Ian waved his hand and replied:

"How is that possible! It takes a long time to bypass the northwest hurricane belt!

That would consume a lot of nuclear crystal energy!

I heard that a logistics alliance has been formed among merchant ships from a dozen bases east of the northwest hurricane belt.

Each base is responsible for a section of the journey. The merchant ships of the base closest to the northwest hurricane belt come to our 903 for centralized procurement. After transporting the nutrient solution back to their own base, their neighboring bases will come to pick up the goods. In addition to the goods they take, there are also goods needed by the remaining dozen bases. They take turns in this way. Each base only needs to bear the consumption of nuclear crystals between itself and the neighboring bases. "

After hearing this, Xu Sansan nodded repeatedly!

This method is great, it greatly saves the total amount of nuclear crystal energy consumption!

However, according to Ian's statement, there shouldn't be any merchant ships from Base City No. 103 that would travel all the way to 903. But why, when she and Xie Yuan went to the Merchant Shipping Association to ask, the association's answer was that there were no seats, not that there were no merchant ships?

At this time, Ian's voice continued:

"However, there are still some wealthy families' dedicated merchant ships that come to our 903 to purchase goods at any time. They are all people who do not lack nuclear crystals."

That's it!

No wonder there are no seats on the merchant ship. It must be filled with people from the wealthy families.

While listening to Ian's explanation, Xu Sansan looked around. This Base City No. 903 was very powerful. The fact that it had no shanty towns or refugee camps was enough to show how strong the economy of this base city was!

This is clearly a developed "country" that has achieved 100% urbanization!

In comparison, outside Base 103, the residents of the shanty towns and refugee camps who are still struggling for their lives in dire straits have simply put the word "poverty" right on the public screen!

Hey!

From this perspective, Base City No. 103 can be considered a developing "country" at most.

“You see, this is the outer city, so the shops here are mainly inns, currency exchange, weapon repair, parts wholesale, vest design, fur recycling, and exotic animal meat wholesale.

If you have the chance to enter the inner city, that is the real paradise on earth!

There are large restaurants, restaurants, tea houses, amusement parks, KTVs, auctions, and hypermarkets that are unique in the Base Federation..."

Xu Sansan opened her eyes wide, listening to these terms that were so familiar to her, and suddenly she felt an infinite yearning in her heart:

In the inner city of No. 903, I’m afraid you can also find beauty salons, yoga studios, hot pot restaurants, and health clubs!

"arrive!"

Soon Ian brought everyone to the third branch of the Chengmenkou Police Station, located west of the City Exit and Entry Administration Bureau.

After Xu Sansan and his companions entered the police station, they saw a self-service number-taking machine on the left side of the door. Ian quickly tapped a few points on the machine and turned back to ask:

"What business do you want to handle?"

"Hukou."

Xu Sansan answered without hesitation.

If Tiechui and Alang want to settle down here for a long time, they must first solve the identity problem.

Ian took a number and led a few people to sit on the metal bench in the center of the police station's waiting hall.

Not long after, a mechanical voice was heard in the center of the hall:

"Please go to window 314 on the 4th to handle business."

Xu Sansan was in a trance for a moment, and felt like he was back in China to handle business.

She walked to window number 4 first and handed the number plate to the foreigner in the window.

The foreigner reminded in fluent Chinese:

"Please refresh your light brain."

Xu Sansan immediately took out the laptop that Uncle Zhong gave her last night and scanned it across the sensor on the side of the window.

Then, the foreigner smiled professionally and asked:

"What business do you need to handle, Master Jiu?"

Xu Sansan pointed at Tiechui and Alang standing behind him and asked:

"I want to register them. What is the process?"

Foreign staff’s formulaic explanation:

"If you have an inner city hukou, you need to fill out an application on the official website of the Human Resources Administration, but this application is only open to people with outer city hukou;

If you are registered as a resident of an out-of-town city, you need to fill out a form first. "

Tiechui and Alang filled out the forms quickly, and Xu Sansan handed the two forms to the foreigners.

The foreigner looked at the "Base City No. 103" filled in the "Former Base" and "Permanent Base" columns on the form and frowned slightly:

"Aren't these two residents of Base City No. 903?"

Xu Sansan rolled his eyes in his heart. If these people are all residents of your Base City No. 903, do I still need to register their household registration?

But she still smiled slightly and replied:

"No."

The foreign staff member raised his head, handed the two forms back to Xu Sansan, and apologized:

"If you are not a resident of Base City No. 903, you will need to ask the street office to issue an identity certificate before we can process it."

"Identification? Street?"

Xu Sansan frowned, suddenly sensing a bad sense of excuse.

The foreign staff member smiled and explained:

"We need to ask the street office where they are currently staying to issue a document proving that they are indeed the two of them."

Xu Sansan choked and said, "No, they are standing in front of you and they can't prove that they are the two of them. How can you ask the street office to prove it?"

So before you were born, did you have to prove to the hospital that your mother was your mother before you were allowed to be born? !

The foreign staff member quickly glanced at the command that suddenly appeared in his brain, coughed lightly, and then suggested:

"Of course, there is another way, which is to let someone from the inner city vouch for them. We also recognize this kind of guarantee and it can be filed as a special identity certificate."

Xu Sansan frowned slightly. Will the people from the inner city guarantee it?

Who can I turn to?

Uncle Zhong?

Or Boss Du?

Xu Sansan turned around and asked Ian:

“Are you from the inner city?”

Ian shook his head:

“I want to be an inner city person too… ah!”

Xu Sansan and his companions returned empty-handed. Seeing that there was still early, they asked Ian to lead them to stroll around the outer city of Base 903.

The crowd went into almost every store they saw. While Xu Sansan was learning about the various products and prices sold in these stores, he was also observing the customers and owners entering and leaving the stores.

The guests really came from various base cities. Some of them spoke broken Chinese, while others directly used body language.

According to Ian, most of the shop owners are locals from No. 903, except for a few who moved here with their families from other base cities many years ago.

Xu Sansan paid close attention to visiting these relocated shops, pretending to select goods while asking them in a roundabout way how they solved their identity problems.

One hour later, I didn't buy any goods, but I did get a lot of gossip.

It turns out that there is also a black market in Base City No. 903, and the identities of these shop owners are basically handled through special channels of the black market.

Damn, do they have to go and see the black market in Base City 903 today?

Just as Xu Sansan, Xie Yuan, Tiechui and Alang were hesitating, Ian beside them suddenly let out a terrible scream:

"what--!"

A tiny mutant venomous snake suddenly jumped out, and its poisonous fangs bit Ian's tiny wrist hard!
