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

时间倒退回星历336年，炎季75日，22:35:47。

The neighbor next door to Xu Sansan's hut was whispering and plotting:

"I'm telling you, they must have stockpiled a lot of supplies!"

"Yeah! You're right, I smelled meat a few days ago too! It was the aroma of roasting, that rich aroma!"

"Come on, Huzi, listen to what Dad says. In a moment, you will just do this..."

So, when Hu Zi climbed over the wicker fence of Xu Sansan's house at the stroke of midnight, his stomach rumbled out of reflex.

This is a meat craving.

He first turned on the lighting function of the light computer and adjusted it to the weakest level. Then he searched the yard, but found nothing except a pile of firewood and a low triangular plastic shed.

So he sneaked up to the metal wall and squatted, listening to the movements in the house.

"Hu~~~Hu~~~~Hu~~~~" Deep breathing sounds came from inside.

Fell asleep.

So he bent down, gently lifted the plastic sheet, and was about to look around when he heard a "pop" and was hit hard on the back of his neck. He fainted immediately.

Xie Yuan lay beside the plastic sheet, staring at Hu Zi lying on the ground, and smiled softly. Then he climbed onto his cart, dragged the failed thief out of the hut, opened the gate, and threw him into the public toilet...

Niu Juanhua and her husband, who had been anxiously waiting for Hu Zi's signal next door, stared at the computer but received no news.

"What's going on? Is there anything wrong?"

Niu Juanhua was a little worried.

"They shouldn't have been discovered. Listen, there's no movement outside. Let's wait a little longer."

Her man comforted her.

However, after waiting for an hour, there was still no sign of Hu Zi, and the two finally became anxious, so they went out to check. They found that the fence next door was closed, there were no signs of a fight, and the road was empty and no one was in sight.

"This, this, this, it's late at night, are we encountering a ghost wall?!"

"How about looking for the patrol?"

"Looking for the patrol? Turning yourself in first?"

"But Hu Zi is missing! This matter must be related to the neighbors!"

So, under Niu Juanhua's instigation, her man also quietly climbed over the rattan fence. After the same search, he also crouched down and lifted the plastic sheet. He was also hit on the back of the neck by a knife and fainted...

Niu Juanhua, who had been anxiously waiting at home all night, could no longer bear it, so she knocked on the gate of Xu Sansan's house, raised her finger with dark circles under her eyes, and shouted angrily:

"You, you, you! You little bitch! Where did you take my man and Hu Zi?!"

Xu Sansan squinted his eyes, which he couldn't open, yawned, and asked in confusion:

"Who? Who is Hu Zi? Who is your man? No, who are you?"

Niu Juanhua was so angry that she jumped up and down. She was very dissatisfied with Xu Sansan's pretending to be stupid. She was so angry that she pushed him:

"Give my man back to me! You bastard, you..."

Seeing the other party suddenly attack, Xu Sansan reflexively shrank back, crossed his arms across his chest, hugged himself, and was about to open his mouth to fight back,

A cry of surprise came from the public toilet: "Oh my God! Why is someone eating shit here so early in the morning?!"

"No, it's fine if you eat shit, but why are you still standing in the pit?"

"It's early in the morning, during rush hour, we can't wait until everyone is done, will you come? Isn't it better to eat hot food?!"

Then, Niu Juanhua's man and Hu Zi were thrown out of the public toilet by a group of scavengers...

Xu Sansan: ...

What happened? Why did this lady run to the toilet like crazy?

Xu Sansan, who was obviously still not fully awake, closed the fence door, returned to the hut, and fell asleep again. Today was the beginning of the devilish training, so she had to hurry up and store up her energy...

The early morning episode did not attract much attention. After all, in the shantytowns where even food and clothing were a problem, all attention was focused on food and supplies. They really didn't care much about why others ate shit. The only small-scale discussion that was sparked was this:

"You said... this shit is really edible?"

"Maybe it has to be the kind that's left overnight, early in the morning..."

……

Xu Sansan knew nothing about this, while Xie Yuan remained indifferent, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

Next door, Niu Juanhua and the other two seemed to have nothing happened. After returning from the public toilet, they hurriedly began today's scavenging mission.

But I definitely can't swallow the anger in my heart.

The three of them looked at each other, thinking about what was waiting for tonight, so they took their weapons and took down the next door directly!

In the cabin, after having breakfast, the two began their devilish training.

Xie Yuan was still supervising while busy with the modification work in his hands.

Xu Sansan spent the entire morning in rigorous training.

Finally, at 12:00 noon, Xie Yuan issued an instruction to pause the devilish training.

Xu Sansan collapsed to the ground, and I heard him talk about what happened last night...

"So, our family is really being targeted?!"

Xu Sansan was shocked. He didn't expect the security in the shantytown to be so bad.

"At noon, go to the black market and buy a metal door..."

Xie Yuan suggested.

Xu Sansan nodded, went to the small shed, washed himself briefly, changed into a vest, put on a tattered coat full of patches, secured the bag of insect eggs, pulled the small cart, with his bulging belly, and walked towards the South City Gate under the hottest sun at noon.

During the hottest time of the day at noon, there are the fewest people going out, so the safety factor should be the highest.

Xu Sansan entered the outer city of the base and followed the coordinates given by Xie Yuan. He first came to the official processing office. This was a low-rise building about the same height as the contribution point exchange office. The first-floor hall was divided into several small rooms, and the processing functions of each room were different.

When Xu Sansan arrived at the air-drying vacuum room, he saw more than a dozen people blocking the door. They were all dejected, with unconcealable disappointment and misfortune on their faces.

"What happened? Why are you all blocking the door?"

She stopped a little girl at the outermost edge and asked casually.

"Hey! They said all four machines inside broke down today!"

Xu Sansan:

"Can't it be repaired?"

Girl:

"It's under repair. They said they're going to take it away and return it to the factory for repair. I don't know how long we have to wait..."

Xu Sansan frowned, looked inside, and saw several maintenance personnel in uniform who were disassembling and assembling the machinery.

Well, it looks like it really needs to be returned to the factory.

But she couldn't delay any longer with the insect eggs on the cart. She was really afraid that one day she would wake up to find a bunch of worms crawling all around her.

Eh~~~

Xu Sansan was quick-witted and had already made a decision.

Let’s go to Lao Qin and deal with the metal gate together.

…………

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened and Xu Sansan pulled the cart into the main street of the black market.

In the room next to the elevator, the fat woman stuck out her butt, twirled the gold ring on her finger, and looked back excitedly:

"That pregnant woman is here again today!"

The man lying on the rocking chair opened his eyes immediately:

"Take a look at the test data. If there's no problem, let Xiaowu prepare!"
