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

Xu Sansan was stunned.

what?

I?

Gao Xuan suddenly thought of something and added:

"You can keep your stuff in the guard's exclusive cabin!"

As he said this, he threw a purple card from his waist to her, indicating that she could leave quickly.

Xu Sansan took the unknown purple card and hesitantly found the member of the 5th Squadron of the Xuanwu Guard who was guarding in front of the spaceship, and said tentatively:

"Your team leader said that my things can be placed in the guard's exclusive cabin first."

The member of Team 5 took the purple card and nodded as if nothing had happened:

"follow me."

So she was led into an empty cabin of about 20 square meters, and the 5th team member pointed to the corner:

"Put the things there, and come to me to pick them up later using the computer."

As he spoke, there was a "beep!" sound, and he swept some instrument in his hand across Xu Sansan's right wrist, then closed the hatch.

Xu Sansan: "...It's like this, I might need to use my cart..."

Team 5: ...Why didn't you tell me earlier? Then he thought of her little rickshaw that didn't even cost money to board the ship, so he twitched his mouth and pulled out a cart that the guards usually used to clean toilets from the public toilet next door.

Although it is just a cleaning cart, it is a spacecraft supply after all, and its most basic configuration is its own power converter.

All I heard him say was, "You just need to control the direction. Don't dilly-dally. Get busy."

……

Five minutes later, Xu Sansan was jubilant, pulling the weightless high-end cart behind him, and walking lightly through the cornfield filled with locusts.

Soon, sacks, baskets and other items discarded by scavengers in the fields were discovered, surrounded by piles of locusts like a fortress.

Presumably, beneath the fortress is the lightly contaminated corn that was collected!

These cunning locusts ignore the moderately and severely polluted ones nearby and only pick the good ones to eat!

She used her left hand to pull the hood down, completely covering her head and neck, and then tied it with a hemp rope, through the transparent frog skin armor.

He rushed forward with a brisk step, wielding a hoe and sweeping wildly, and soon disrupted the fortress-like pile of locusts in front of him.

Then, Xu Sansan rushed straight to the big sacks of corn kernels, quickly threw the sacks onto the high-end cart, pulled the cart up and ran away at his fastest speed!

After running for about a few dozen meters, she saw that the kinetic energy of the high-end cart had been completely brought up, so she turned around and jumped directly onto the cart.

Isn't it said that this cart is advanced and only requires controlling the direction?

Xu Sansan pounced directly onto several large sacks, spread out in a big letter shape, and used his body to block the swarm of locusts in the air. He also lay down on the cart.

I don’t know if it was because the dozens of meters of running-up that Xu Sansan did before had a miraculous effect, but this high-end cart seemed to have gone mad and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.

In order to ensure that the wheels would not accidentally deviate from the destination due to various frictions, Xu Sansan had to poke the ground with a hoe from time to time to adjust the direction of the high-end cart.

The 5th Squadron of the Black Tortoise Guards, the vanguard group armed with lightning guns, saw that in the cornfield ahead, among the black mass of locusts, a cart with sparks flashing on its wheels suddenly appeared with an extremely difficult S-shaped bending technique, and on the cart...

"Mutated spider?"

"No, the number of legs doesn't match..."

"Mutated turtle?"

"No, the body shape doesn't match either..."

"Mutated wild boar?"

Oh~~ that makes sense...

For a moment, everyone could not find any reason to object to the speculation about the mutated wild boar.

"Hey! No, why does that cart look so familiar?!"

Then, amid the discussions, they saw a special flatbed truck for cleaning the spaceship's public toilets, carrying a load of corn, with Xu Sansan lying on the corn, passing by everyone at lightning speed.

Gao Xuan's eye twitched. Is this how the sweeping cart is used?

The guards nearby said: “Fuck! Who is this?! Is this even possible?!”

So, in the next two hours of locust-wiping, anti-crime and material-grabbing work, Xu Sansan shuttled back and forth more than ten times, and seized a total of 10 hoes and machetes, 37 bags of bulk corn kernels, and 29 half-eaten corn cobs, including the one she found herself.

However, all the rescued supplies were directly taken over by the guards. She hesitated for a long time and was not in a position to ask for the corn cob she found in her field because the scene was too chaotic and no one could prove that it belonged to her field.

So Xu Sansan decided to wait and see, waiting for the team leader Gao Xuan to offer her a reward.

Wow, she rescued a lot of supplies today.

However, she waited and waited, until the spacecraft took off and landed, and after pulling the cart back home, she still did not receive the thank you she wanted.

"Ah! My corn-husk! It's gone!"

When the plastic sheet was lifted, what Xie Yuan saw was Xu Sansan, who had a bitter look on his face but was obviously filled with accomplishments.

Xie Yuan asked in confusion: "What kind of accident happened again?"

Xu Sansan took off the bag of insect eggs from his chest, untied the hemp rope tied to the corn husk, and dejectedly recounted what had happened today:

"…………You said, I helped the guards to recover so many supplies, why didn't they give me any labor fees!"

Here, Xu Sansan was filled with grief and indignation at the unfair treatment he had suffered.

Over at the 5th Squad of the Xuanwu Guard, everyone was counting the results of the locust mowing while discussing the "cool" and heroic appearance of the cart sister today, as well as her amazing cornering skills.

That’s right, in the 5th team, Xu Sansan has been nicknamed “Sister Cart”…

In the cabin, Xie Yuan told her that the guards let her sit in the guard cabin and let her disembark one minute earlier than the main force, which could be considered as payment.

Xu Sansan thought that the price of Shunfeng Escort Agency's exclusive cabin was 100 contribution points, but she could only get off the ship 30 seconds earlier. In this way, she could be considered to have made a profit today, and she felt a lot more balanced instantly.

After dinner, the two of them took advantage of the last rays of the setting sun to start processing the corn kernels.

Although a quarter of the entire corn husk was eaten clean by locusts, the remaining part was still well protected.

While Xie Yuan was sighing at the girl's talent for scavenging, he reminded her, "Corn kernels can be stored for a relatively long time, but if the more than 100 insect eggs are not dealt with in time, they will probably hatch automatically..."

Xu Sansan shuddered instantly, and goosebumps appeared all over his arms:

"How do we deal with this? Cover it with small stones?"

Xie Yuan looked at the mist emitted by the small stone, and then looked at the huge insect egg bag at his feet. If he took out all the compressed biscuits inside and temporarily exchanged the space for the insect eggs, it would indeed be a solution, but it was not a long-term solution. So he thought about it and replied:

"It may not be enough. You can consider going to the official processing place. There are machines there that can air-dry and vacuum-treat the food, so that it can be preserved until the end of the snow season..."

Xu Sansan nodded, but Xie Yuan hadn't finished speaking. In fact, going to the official processing office was a very good choice, cheap and efficient, but considering the number of these insect eggs and her talent for scavenging, he suddenly had a hunch that the demand for air drying and vacuuming would be great in the future. Then he continued:

"But if you do that, the number of eggs you collect will be noticed by the people on the scene. If you go there more often, it may not be safe. The food stored at home is actually enough to make people have bad intentions."

Xu Sansan calculated the food reserves. If they were frugal, it would be enough for him and Xie Yuan to eat for 2-3 months. He really had to be cautious:

"You mean, go to the black market?"

Xie Yuan nodded.

Xu Sansan: "But I've been to the black market several times in a row. I'm worried that I might have been targeted..."

Xie Yuan frowned slightly:

"Indeed, if you leave with a lot of food, you will probably be followed on your way back... The people there have various ways to find out whether you have any food with you..."

So ordinary people generally don’t dare to buy food on the black market, fearing that they won’t be able to bring it home and end up losing both their money and their lives.”

Meanwhile, in the room next to the elevator entrance on the B3 floor of the black market, the fat woman stared at the peephole all day, pouting:

"The pregnant woman didn't come today..."

The man on the rocking chair spoke softly:

"You should keep a close eye on it. I heard from Liuzi that Laowu did a good job today. If everything goes well, he will be able to graduate in a few days!"

The fat woman rolled her eyes, touched the gold ring on her finger, and smiled greedily...
