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

星历336年，炎季102日，07:30:00

Xu Sansan pushed open the door of the private military camp. This was what she had agreed with Hu Ba and the others last night. Today they were going to discuss how to allocate the huge sum of 37,500 contribution points.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw the members of the Quartet team sitting on a metal bench in the corner.

I saw Hu Ba sitting with his legs crossed and trimming his gray nails.

Yu Ge was oiling and waxing the eight-pointed beard under his nostrils.

The commander turned a blind eye and stared at the big screen on the opposite wall to test his eyesight.

It seems that only the little stutterer is slightly normal, but he should just sit there, why does he always droop his head on his feet?

The little stutterer felt extremely regretful at this moment:

damn it!

I forgot to wash my feet again last night!

Xu Sansan's eyes drifted to the other team members sitting next to the metal bench -

Some squeeze pimples, some pick dandruff, some pick their feet...

Well, the Quartet is at least somewhat normal...

She quickly walked around the muscular man who was performing the "chest crushing stone" move at the gate, walked quietly through the fitness area in the middle of the barracks, and finally successfully arrived at the gathering corner of the four-party team.

The Marshal was the first to notice her. He opened his bright eyes and grinned at her sincerely!

Hu Ba immediately put away his nail clippers, shook his eight-cornered beard under his nostrils, and greeted him very attentively:

"Here you come, Xiao San'er!"

Xu Sansan was speechless. He coughed twice awkwardly and started to discuss:

"Well, Captain, this is it, don't be so formal in the future, just call me Xiao Xu!"

Hu Ba shook his head and thought about the new name. He didn't feel any difference from Xiao San'er, but he was not a hypocritical person. Since the great hero had spoken, he immediately agreed:

"Okay! Xiao San'er, we will call you Xiao Xu from now on!"

Yu Ge, the Marshal and the stutterer all nodded at the same time. Xu Sansan looked at them and saw that they all looked exactly the same, with square faces and octagonal beards. He touched the matchmaker mole he had added a three-dimensional effect to today with a very unconfident look and went straight to the point:

"So what do you think of the points I mentioned last night?"

Hu Ba spoke first:

"We really should find a safer place to park our aircraft. Don't worry about that. I've already made the arrangements. They said they'll tidy up the place for us tonight, and we can just park there tomorrow!"

Xu Sansan and the other three were also very satisfied with the result, so they all nodded in affirmation.

Then Yuge said:

"Regarding the inspection of the aircraft, I have already contacted the Logistics Department. This aircraft was produced too long ago, and the maintenance technicians at the Logistics Department who were proficient in its parts have all passed away... So..."

Xu Sansan was stunned. At this moment, the Marshal opened his eyes and spoke at the right time:

"But don't worry, we have already found a technician who is very familiar with the principles of manual steering. Although he is a little old, as long as he can repair it, it's not a big deal!"

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Xu Sansan had no objection. After all, she was unfamiliar with the place and the only person she knew who could modify machinery was an illegal resident who couldn't even enter the base city, so she couldn't come up with any other opinions at all.

The topic then quickly turned to weapons.

I only heard the little stutterer speak excitedly:

"The knife...upgrade...upgrade, the medicine...the medicine powder...match...match...you...customize..."

Hu Ba further translated to Xu Sansan:

"It means that we can exchange our machetes for more advanced ones at the supply department, and the types of explosive powder he usually equips can also be replenished more completely. As for your needs, it's up to you to decide."

Xu Sansan was quite satisfied with his current weapons, especially after upgrading the cart yesterday, so he raised a question that he had been accumulating for a long time:

"Don't consider heavy-powered guns?"

The little stutterer sighed and explained concisely:

"expensive……"

………………

Well, the few of them had a quick discussion about other expenses, such as repair potions, nutrient solution, and salary distribution for team members.

The final conclusion is that there must be an adequate supply of repair agents and nutrient solutions. As for the salary distribution, further discussion will be made after the aircraft is inspected and the parking fees are paid tomorrow.

At this moment, a task notification suddenly came on Hu Ba's computer:

Please ask the captain of the quartet team to go to the mission office immediately to accept the mission.

At the same time, the large screen on the wall of the private barracks scrolled to the F-level team ranking in the relegation pool:

1. F Firebird Squadron

2. F Giants

3. F Quartet

……

8. F Wolf Squad

The quartet team successfully completed two missions in a row, one of which was an emergency mission rated "dangerous", so their ranking jumped from last to third. In other words, as long as this mission can be completed successfully, the quartet team will have completed three missions in a row and can directly leave the demotion pool and rise directly from F to E!

On the contrary, if they fail in this mission, not only will their ranking drop, but they will once again be on the verge of disbanding.

The leader of the Demon Wolf Squad, Xipi, came out of the mission office and saw that his contribution point balance had been reduced by another 1000 points. His eyes were sinister...

There are a total of 8 teams in the relegation pool, 6 of which were relegated from E-level in the past period of time. Only their Demon Wolf and Quartet teams have been staying in the relegation pool since their establishment.

So even though the Sifang team's ranking has now jumped to the top three, Xipi still believes that only the Sifang team's strength is close to that of their Magic Wolves. After all, only their two teams have never been promoted to E-level.

Therefore, he firmly believed that among the remaining 7 teams in Class F, it would be most feasible to pull down the Sifang team to take the blame for him.

10 minutes later, Hu Ba quickly returned from the mission office. He first went to the supplies office to upgrade 3 high-level machetes made of special metal materials, and exchanged them for a complete set of medicine powder packs mentioned by Xiao Jieba, spending a total of 4150 contribution points. Then he summoned the team members and immediately left the gate of the private barracks and ran towards the abandoned garbage dump.

At the same time, the members of the Demon Wolf Squad, who were circling around the Quartet Squad's aircraft in the abandoned garbage dump, spat and were speechless:

"What the hell, what kind of model is this? Why can't I find its energy converter at all?!"

Another team member stared at the captain's message on the light brain and urged anxiously:

"It's too late! Since plan one doesn't work, let's implement plan two!"

……

20 minutes later, the Sifang team and temporary worker Xu Sansan finally arrived at the abandoned garbage dump. With a "creak", the bearing of the hatch turned and the door was manually pushed open by Hu Ba.

Several people quickly took their positions. Xu Sansan took out her plastic bench from the storage room and sat down obediently in the aisle of the cabin. She had to seize every opportunity to fly, observe and learn the difficult driving skills of this manual transmission aircraft!

Oh, it’s so difficult!

But there is no way. Looking at the situation of today's discussion, with 37,500 points, you can't even afford a heavy firepower gun, let alone a high-end aircraft that has automatic transmission.

48 minutes later, with a loud "bang", the aircraft landed in the original abandoned city No. 2-007.

Just as Hu Ba was about to pull out the key, suddenly, a huge exclamation mark appeared on the aircraft's control screen, followed by an alarm that quickly flashed by:

Warning! A failure in the aircraft balance system has been detected. The automatic repair procedure is being initiated. Are you sure you want to execute it?

Hu Ba frowned and clicked OK:

Strange...Why did the balance system suddenly malfunction?

It was running fine before?

Hey!

If I had known, I should have done a comprehensive overhaul last night!

An inexplicable uneasiness gradually rose from the bottom of his heart...
