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

Star calendar year 336, hot season day 99, 06:00:00,

Xu Sansan arrived at the gate of the private military camp on time, and the members of the Quartet team were already waiting for her there.

Looking at the four identical square faces and the same eight-cornered beards, she felt a little unsure as she touched the matchmaker mole that she had specially enlarged today, then smiled dryly and said hello:

"Good morning, everyone!"

The four people nodded at her, motioning her to follow, and then walked towards the east side of the private army camp with serious expressions.

Xu Sansan wanted to ask if he should give her a square face and an eight-cornered beard, so that she could integrate into the team more quickly. However, seeing the serious expressions of these four people at this time, he swallowed the words that were just on the tip of his tongue:

Forget it, I’m new here, so it’s better to watch more and talk less!

Of course Xu Sansan didn't know that today was actually the 60th day since the Quartet Team was downgraded to F level. According to the latest "involution" competition rules of the dark web, if any team fails three consecutive missions, the team rating will be reduced by one level until it is downgraded to F level.

All teams that have been downgraded to F level will be put into a demotion pool. If a team fails to successfully complete a mission in the demotion pool for 60 consecutive days, the team will be completely disbanded and removed from the list. The stay or departure of the team members will be re-decided by the boss of the private barracks, Boss Sui.

So today is actually the final battle that determines whether the quartet team will stay or go!

Of course, as a new member, Xu Sansan was inexplicably placed in the relegation pool, and was about to embark on his first, and possibly last, mission in the private army camp...

Following the four people, we turned left and right on the road and finally came to an abandoned...garbage dump...

Why did Xu Sansan determine that this was a garbage dump at first sight?

Because a huge, rusty, and bumpy metal sign was hanging crookedly on the iron gate in front of her. On the metal sign was written:

The second garbage dump in Zone Z of Nanchengmen.

Why then do you conclude that it is abandoned?

Because the iron gate was completely empty, without even a trace of garbage, except for an old, scarred, egg-shaped object...

Based on the direction the four people were heading, it can be concluded that the egg-shaped object was definitely not some giant piece of garbage.

that……

That could only be the Quartet's aircraft...

Hey……

Xu Sansan finally walked up to the egg-shaped object.

It was not at all as tall, majestic, gorgeous, cool, and technological as I had imagined it to be last night;

The weathered, scratched and dented shell gives people a sense of vicissitudes of life, which makes people admire it...

Hey!

isn't it? !

This aircraft is so old, but it hasn't been retired yet. Is this really a good thing?

Is it really...really safe...

Xu Sansan's heart was trembling as he looked at Hu Ba, the captain of the Sifang team, with suspicion; his eyes spoke for themselves.

Hu Ba, however, looked very proud, his octagonal beard trembled slightly, and he began to brag excitedly:

"Hey! What do you think? This aircraft looks very cost-effective! Let me tell you, we deliberately used a backdoor to have the equipment department reserve it for our team!"

Yu Ge finally showed his first smile this morning:

"Yes! This aircraft is a great deal!"

The Marshal opened his pair of shining eyes and came over to add:

"No rent! Just pay for the fuel! Haha!"

Finally, even the stuttering could not be suppressed, and the concluding remarks were:

"It's been scrapped... for 30... 30 years, but... but it's still... usable... hehe... hehe... hehe..."

The four people were obviously very satisfied and proud of this scrapped aircraft!

Xu Sansan opened his mouth wide in disbelief:

Damn! This is an aircraft that has been retired for many years and is forced to find a new job...

So if she retires right now...is it too late?

…………

"Squeak..."

There was a long and melodious sound of bearings turning, and the hatch of the spacecraft opened.

Xu Sansan looked at Hu Ba's left hand on the hatch door handle and the key inserted in the hatch door hole, and was speechless again:

no……

Even if I can't use the optical computer to unlock the door, this door should at least be automatic.

Doesn’t this manual sliding door seem a bit too primitive?

Of course, no one answered the series of silent questions in her heart.

Several people entered the cabin one after another. Hu Ba sat in the left cockpit of the first row, Yu Ge sat in the co-pilot seat of the first row, and Dashuai and Xiao Jieba quickly occupied the left and right seats of the second row, and then... then there were no more seats...

The second row is the last row of seats in the aircraft cabin...

Hu Ba looked at Xu Sansan awkwardly, and tried to explain: "It's an old model, the space is not big, and we have to leave some space for supplies, so there are only four seats..."

Xu Sansan looked at the cabin that was already packed with four seats, and his mind was full of questions:

So, may I ask... where are you going to put the supplies?

Of course, how could she know that the Quartet Team had never considered this issue, because they had not successfully completed a mission so far, nor had they been able to retrieve any supplies.

During this period, I lived on the subsistence allowance nutrient solution distributed by the private military camp every day.

Xu Sansan frowned, thinking that this egg-shaped aircraft shouldn't be that small from the outside, so he manually opened the metal partition close to the back of the second row of seats, and sure enough, there was a different world inside -

Behind the partition is a corridor about 1 meter wide with two doors on each side.

She first opened a door on the left, which turned out to be an empty cabin, about 5 square meters in size. This should be the aircraft's own material storage room, but it was dusty inside, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

On the right was a toilet. It wasn't big, but it was about 3 square meters. Xu Sansan looked at the toilet in front of him, sighed, and then shouted to Hu Ba in the driver's seat:

"Then I'll stay in the bathroom first."

After saying that, he placed the cart next to the sink, pushed down the toilet lid, and sat directly on it.

Hey!

Just think of yourself as sitting in a private room...

Soon, there was a loud "boom" and the aircraft took off.

40 minutes later, there was no broadcast, only a "bang" and the aircraft landed.

Before the hatch was opened, Hu Ba fiddled with the computer for a while and sent 4 coordinates to the four people. He then said:

"As usual, everyone manually connects the coordinates into a circle on the map, and does not exceed the range of the protective shield..."

Xu Sansan: ...What? Did you also draw the protective shield range manually on the map?

If you're not careful and the painting is crooked, wouldn't that be life-threatening?

Before she could completely burst open, she saw Hu Ba raised his chin towards her, and his eight-cornered beard trembled a few times:

"We asked you to join us just to make up the number of people, so you don't have to really go on the mission with us. You and Stutter will stay here and be responsible for guarding the spaceship."

After saying that, Hu Ba pulled out three machetes from under the driver's seat, and got off the spaceship with Yu Ge and Dashuai.

Xu Sansan: ...

No, since the team requires at least 5 people, what's the point of your entire 4-seater aircraft?

The key point is...what's the situation with the machetes in your hands...don't you have a gun?

Isn’t it said that the missions of the private army squad are very dangerous?

At least they are all two-star monsters!

Isn't this... too hasty?!

However, the three figures had already disappeared, so Xu Sansan had no choice but to turn his head and stare at the little stutterer, hoping to get some explanation.

But the little stutterer just pointed outside the cabin door and said briefly:

"Get off the boat... pretend... pretend..."

Hey……

Xu Sansan sighed. Never mind. She still needed a lot of explanations. It would be better not to embarrass this young man...

……

30 minutes later, Xu Sansan covered the dilapidated aircraft with the last mutant banana leaf he had picked. Just as he was about to ask, "What are we going to do?"

Suddenly, Hu Ba's voice came from my mind:

Need urgent support from Xiao Jieba, need urgent support from Xiao Jieba!

The little stutterer quickly returned to the aircraft, pulled out a metal briefcase from under his seat, gave Xu Sansan a look, and then hurried towards the coordinates shared by Hu Ba.

Xu Sansan stood in front of the flying machine that looked like a dumpling, looking at the stuttering figure that quickly disappeared, and couldn't help but frowning:

I hope there won't be any danger...
