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

Xu Sansan retreated back to the room helplessly, put down the folding bed reluctantly, and then left 7-4566 looking back every three steps.

Before going downstairs, adhering to the principle of not wasting a single cent of the original owner, he went to the water room and drank a lot of water. After filling up two plastic bottles, he left with satisfaction.

Fortunately, the folding bed was left in the room. She went back and forth several times before she breathlessly moved the cart and the things on it to the first floor.

It was already 17:15, 45 minutes earlier than the moving time required by the landlord.

The sun was still scorching the earth after 5 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as Xu Sansan left the small building, he felt the scorching sun sting his face.

I quickly took out a small towel for washing my face from my cloth bag and wrapped it around my face, then curled my hands under the cuffs of my clothes. Only then did I feel a little better.

So I reflexively wanted to hide under the shade of trees.

Only then did I suddenly realize that there was not even a trace of vegetation on the streets of District Z!

Yes, it’s such a hot day, even if we plant them, they will soon be sunburned to death.

Xu Sansan didn't dare to stay for long. He turned left and right along the way, trying to stay in the shadows cast by the buildings.

I hadn't walked for long when I felt myself sweating all over.

Well, today's bath was wasted.

I had to hide in the shadows, take out a bottle of water, and drink it in small sips.

She didn't dare to drink three hundred cups of wine at this moment. She didn't know whether there was water available in the refugee camp, so it was better to be cautious.

It has to be said that Xu Sansan's caution was quite correct. Although the refugee camps provided water sources, those water sources were slightly polluted and needed to be disinfected at high temperatures before they could reach drinkable standards.

Of course, she didn't know this at the moment.

As she took a nap and looked around, the bracelet sounded the alarm again:

"Beep! There are still 30 minutes before the city gate closes. Non-base residents, please leave before 6 o'clock, otherwise you will be sent to the exile area!"

what? !

So the base city will also be closed?

I also plan to find a suitable place to pitch my tent in the city!

I didn't expect that this little plan would fall apart before it even started.

There was no other way. In order to avoid being sent to the exile area, she could only put on her headscarf, resigned herself to pulling her cart, and quickly walked towards the South City Gate.

Fortunately, this place is not too far from the South City Gate, and fortunately there are not many things on her cart.

Xu Sansan arrived at the South City Gate 15 minutes early and walked out smoothly.

Along the way, she was so focused on getting on with her journey that she didn't notice that, apart from her and a few slum dwellers, the vehicles and pedestrians on the small streets of District Z did not appear to be in a hurry or panic.

Because the regulation of closing the city gates actually only applies to people who have no residence in the city.

Xu Sansan didn't understand this information at all at this time. She needed to solve a more urgent problem -

What are we eating today?

Where are you staying tonight?

Standing at the city gate, Xu Sansan looked at the densely packed shantytown from afar.

Mm, it’s quite a big piece.

I don’t know if I can find a vacant space to set up a tent…

I looked at my cart again.

Hey……

It is better not to go there rashly without understanding the situation.

Xu Sansan turned around, resolutely pulled the cart and returned to the refugee camp.

When she was passing by the barracks in Area 1 of the refugee camp, someone suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Hey! Are you going home, sister? Do you have dinner? Do you want me to take care of the nutrient solution?"

An outgoing middle-aged man, with a mouth full of yellow teeth, stood in front of a shed set up on the roadside, smiling and staring at him with a flattering look on his face.

Nutrient solution?

what is it?

Countless question marks arose in Xu Sansan's mind, so he stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with suspicion.

The uncle didn't seem to be very experienced in the business. He touched his nose with a guilty look, winked at her for a while, and then started to sell her vigorously:

"Here I have a serious high-concentration nutrient solution. One sip can last for three days! How about it? Do you want a few bottles?"

As the uncle spoke, he reached into his pocket again, revealing a corner of a transparent plastic tube.

Wow! At first glance, this looks familiar!

Xu Sansan coughed and asked casually, "How much is it?"

The uncle thought there was a chance, so he leaned over, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear with great excitement, "These are all good stuff that came out of there. The shelf life is more than 3 months. 50 contribution points for each one. How about it?"

Xu Sansan was first a little dizzy from the strong breath, and then had his face sprayed with spit. Unable to bear it any longer, he shouted angrily, "50?! Why don't you just go and rob it!"

After saying that, he shook off the uncle's hand and quickly retreated 3 meters away.

The uncle didn't expect Xu Sansan to react so strongly. He jumped up and shouted in a low voice: "Keep your voice down! Keep your voice down! The main force will be back soon, and neither you nor I will be able to leave alive!"

WTF?

She was a little confused.

Who is the main force?

Where is the main force?

Why can’t I leave alive when the main force comes back?

I'm leaving now!

Xu Sansan was actually a little nervous. She didn't know whether what this man said was just a threat or a fact that was about to happen. So she pulled her cart without looking back and ran towards District 8.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Sister, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"

The middle-aged man chased after him for a few steps, then hurriedly stopped and looked at the figure running away. He had to shout out:

"Why don't you name a price? I'm in a hurry to close the stall..."

"No money! I can't afford it!"

Xu Sansan was really poor, so he made up another random sentence:

"If you have one that's due today, I can still consider it!"

I rely on? !

When the uncle heard this, his face instantly froze!

This, this, this fucking person actually met an expert!

How did she know that what was in my pocket was actually nutrient solution that would expire today? !

When was he exposed?

Did I accidentally reveal the expiration date just now?

That's not right, I clearly erased the expiration date and production date...

Just when the uncle began to doubt his life, Xu Sansan had already run away in two steps.

When the uncle came to his senses, he saw that the big fish he had caught with great difficulty was about to slip away. How could he let it go easily!

If he doesn't chase after her, the goods in his pocket will be wasted!

Without caring about anything else, he ran back to the shed, picked up a large box on the ground, and started chasing, shouting:

"Don't run... I have the ones that are due today too!"

Xu Sansan heard this.

What?

Is this a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse?

He quickly slowed down his quick steps and touched his hungry stomach.

With a roll of his eyes, okay, tonight's rations...

Indeed, there is no where to go yet...

Thinking about the familiar plastic figure in the uncle's pocket just now, he slapped his forehead and thought, isn't this the drink that the seriously injured young man gave him this morning!

It turns out that was nutrient solution!

No wonder...

Xu Sansan stopped and turned around, with a look that said, "I see through your evil plan."

"Don't think I don't know the value of it. That one will only last for a day at most!"

The uncle who had just caught up hadn't even had time to catch his breath when he was hit again.

How could she even see this? !

Are the children in refugee camps so knowledgeable now? !

This is a high-end product that is only circulated in the inner city of the base!

The uncle was really at a loss at this point. He had brought a whole box of good stuff with him today. He had originally agreed with the other party to trade at 4 p.m., and thought that since he was out of town, he might as well take a few from the factory's pending boxes and try his luck at the futures market. However, he waited and waited, and it was almost 6 p.m. and no one showed up to trade.

He was worried that this was a trap, and he really didn't dare to carry so many important supplies with him after the scavenging team returned.

If he was accidentally discovered, even if there were patrols, he would likely become the target of public criticism in an instant.

When people are hungry, they can do anything!

But he didn't want to go out in the scorching sun today and waste it, as he had to pay rent for the radiation-proof shed built on the roadside!

This has been rented for almost 2 hours!

They are all worthless contribution points!

The uncle gritted his teeth and said, "10 contribution points per tube! It can't be any lower!"

"5 contribution points!"

Xu Sansan made full use of his bargaining strategy in the wholesale market and directly offered a 50% discount.

"If you don't sell it today, it will be worthless!"

Xu Sansan had obviously grasped the uncle's desire to make as much money as possible.

The uncle, whose pain point was strangled, sighed and resigned himself to his fate: "Five contribution points is five contribution points. I still have six left. You have to buy them all!"

Xu Sansan looked incredulous: "I'm alone! I can take two at most! You can sell them if you want, or not! If you don't want to sell them, forget it!"

After saying this, he pretended to leave again.

The uncle was completely thrown off balance. He usually did business with private soldiers in the city. Most of the private soldiers had some money and were generous. Today was the first time he took the risk to trade outside the base city.

To be honest, he was very unsure after being stood up. Now he was faced with such extremely unconventional bargaining. He just wanted to finish the deal and then pack up and go home.

So he stamped his feet,

"12 for 3 contribution points!"

……

The uncle hurried back to the shed and started to pack up. It was almost 18:00, and he had to get back to the base city quickly, otherwise it would be dangerous!
