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

What do you mean?

Xu Sansan's mind was full of question marks, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the young man on the straw mat.

Xie Yuan had not expected that the girl would lose her memory so completely that she had even completely forgotten the mission of the base that the people of the end times depended on for survival. He could only explain it slowly, stroke by stroke -

The base organizes residents inside and outside the city to go out to scavenge for scraps every day, and generally gives two options:

Wilderness or city.

The spoils you scavenge can be exchanged for contribution points at the base’s official exchange office, or you can keep them for yourself.

The living environment in the end times is very difficult. Most of the base's supplies come from scavenging, so the base also encourages residents to join the scavenging team...

Xu Sansan looked puzzled, and then analyzed:

"What we lack most now is food. I feel like we should be able to find a lot of food in the wilderness, including plants and animals. It sounds like there should be more than in the abandoned city..."

……

After exchanging information, it was already 21:30:45. Xu Sansan set an alarm on the computer for 5:30, then took out the last bottle of nutrient solution that was about to expire from his pocket, drank half of it himself, and fed the rest to Xie Yuan.

"This nutrient solution will expire in less than three hours. Drink it and go to sleep. Tomorrow's rations will have to wait until I come back tomorrow night..."

Perhaps he was really tired, Xu Sansan fell asleep after a few seconds.

Xie Yuan at the side was still licking his lips blankly, not quite coming back to his senses:

"She, she, she, actually... I... drank the same one..."

……

"DiDi Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di..."

After a good night's sleep, Xu Sansan woke up on time. The sun had already appeared above the horizon.

The first thing she did when she got up was to move the young man to the public toilet. Then she left a message: "The next time I bring you here will be in the evening." Then she closed the door.

In fact, as an intern who has long been immune, Xu Sansan is very calm when it comes to taking care of patients and solving their physiological problems. After all, it is his duty.

But, but, the patient Xie Yuan does not have this awareness.

He woke up early in the morning and was hit by an embarrassing attack. He hadn't fully digested what happened last night, and today it happened again. He, he, ah...

It was five minutes later when Xu Sansan wrapped his headscarf around his head and put on the cloth bag.

Before leaving, he gave the young man another shot of anti-inflammatory medicine, checked his wound, and finally, reluctantly opened the medical box, took out the interlayer, and reluctantly handed it to the other party's left hand:

"Well, the conditions are indeed limited. If you can't hold it in during the day, use this first..."

After saying that, Xu Sansan pulled her small cart and left without looking back, leaving Xie Yuan alone holding a plastic sandwich, messy in the windless tent...

While walking through the shantytowns, I met many people who were going to the gathering place 2 kilometers away.

Maybe because no one carried any food with them, they were not very wary of each other.

Soon, Xu Sansan followed the crowd and arrived at the gathering point.

Three aircraft as big as football fields are parked on the land covered with yellow sand.

She turned left and right and found a queue with relatively fewer people.

The crowd moved quickly and within a few minutes it was Xu Sansan's turn to board the plane.

She followed the example of the person in front of her and waved her laptop at the hatch. With a beep, she was stopped by a tall man in khaki combat uniform.

"Cart, check it out."

Xu Sansan nodded timidly and showed the small cart behind him.

The man's mouth twitched, probably because he was really disgusted, so he waved his hand:

"I won't charge you any contribution points. Just go in..."

Does it turn out that there is an extra charge for a flatbed truck?

Xu Sansan looked at his balance very fondly.

Fortunately, it’s still 26 contribution points.

She sat not far from the cabin door and observed for a while. She found that vehicles with engines or other kinetic energy conversion devices required additional contribution points.

Fortunately, my own small cart is a good way to save money...

The interior space of the aircraft was very large. Apart from the scavengers sitting on the ground, there were also personnel in khaki combat uniforms moving back and forth, so it did not seem crowded.

There should be space reserved for everyone to put the results of their scavenging. The truth about Xu Sansan has been revealed.

Soon, at 06:15:00, a broadcast came from the aircraft:

The hatch is closed. We are about to head to Wasteland No. 9. Today's special mission is moderately or slightly contaminated mulberry leaves. Good luck to everyone.

As soon as the broadcast stopped, there was a lot of noise all around. Xu Sansan didn't understand what was going on and could only listen closely.

“Today it’s mulberry leaves!”

"I saw a few mulberry trees in Wasteland No. 9 last time!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't let us get caught!"

"I don't know how many contribution points I can get from this special mission. Can it be more than last time?"

"Since it's a special mission, it must be worth it! At least 1 contribution points for every pound of gold!"

"Maybe I can get 10 contribution points!"

……

Xu Sansan looked as if to see what was going on. But a mulberry leaf probably contains only a few milligrams at most. How much does one have to collect for a pound of mulberry leaf?

Moreover, the young man told her last night that not all animals and plants are edible, only those that are slightly contaminated or unpolluted are edible. It is now difficult to find unpolluted food, so people generally eat slightly contaminated food.

However, non-ingestible things such as hay and wood that we use in daily life will not cause harm to the human body as long as they are moderately contaminated.

Those heavily contaminated animals and plants are fine under the protection of the protective shield, but once they are out of the protection of the shield, humans will be infected in a short period of time, and after 3 days, they will be transformed into infected people, and then gradually turn into irrational beasts...

God knows how shocked and desperate Xu Sansan was when he found out all this.

Why do others travel through time and space to beautiful mountains, rivers, and promising futures, while I am running away, moving houses, and looking for food...

Hey……

星历336年，炎季69日，06:25:36

I don’t know what kind of black technology it is, but the aircraft has already arrived above a large area of ​​dense forest.

At this time the radio sounded:

The spacecraft has arrived at Wasteland No. 9, and the protective shield has begun to be deployed in preparation for landing.

Xu Sansan looked through the cabin and saw several small aircraft flying out from under the spacecraft and spreading out in all directions. Soon, a white light shield that looked similar to the base city rose above the dense forest.

The radio sounded again:

The hatch is about to open, please be careful and do not leave the protective cover.

With a bang, the spacecraft landed, and then the hatch opened. First, dozens of people in khaki combat uniforms got off the ship, followed by scavengers leaving one after another.

After Xu Sansan got off the boat, his first reaction was:

What a big and dense forest!

The trees were at least as tall as 10-story buildings, the grass was higher than the calves, and a leaf was at least as big as a washbasin!

This... this is called a wasteland?

Are you sure she didn't misunderstand?

While Xu Sansan was stunned, the other scavengers had already scattered in groups. Only two or three people in khaki combat uniforms were left beside the spaceship, glancing at her as if she were a fool.

"Cough cough~"

Xu Sansan scratched her head, put away her ignorant and bumpkin look, dragged the cart, and walked aimlessly into the depths of the dense forest.

After he was completely out of sight of those people, Xu Sansan began to let himself go again, looking left and right, and occasionally exclaiming in amazement:

"Oh my god, look at this tree trunk! It's so thick! If it happened in the past, they would have fenced it off and built a protected park and started charging admission!"

"Look at this flower, how big and gorgeous it is! This has to be a Guinness record, I lose!"

"This, this, this... is this aloe vera or a giant octopus?! This... is too big!"

.........

Xu Sansan wandered around and looked around for a long time, but did not find any plant that looked like mulberry leaves, so he gave up decisively.

It’s your first mission, so it’s better to be cautious!

So she went back to the place where the mutant aloe vera plant was, and prepared to test whether she could find some branches and leaves that were lightly or moderately contaminated to make some aloe vera gel or something and apply it to the sunburned areas to relieve the stress caused by solar radiation.

That's right. Xu Sansan only found out last night that the hot sun is harmful to the human body. Unless one stays in the base city and is filtered by a protective shield, the radiation from the sun will gradually accumulate in the body until one day it completely explodes and leads to death. The old people lying in Area 8 of the refugee camp had too much radiation accumulated in their bodies and could not be treated after the explosion. In order to save limited supplies, the base cut off their water and food, so they had to wait to die.

When Xu Sansan thought of these things, he suddenly came up with an idea!

I felt scared again. How many times did I escape death yesterday? I dare not think about it. I really dare not think about it.

This damn apocalypse is so cruel!
