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

Xu Sansan stared at the "Big Fat Orange" on the top of the hill without blinking. The more he looked, the more he thought there was hope.

Although pumpkin is not a traditional grain crop, its delicate and dense texture makes it quite filling when cooked into porridge or steamed.

So she told everyone in the Quartet team about her bold guess. After all, this was a team mission and she still needed to discuss it with everyone.

After hearing this, Hu Ba's eyes lit up. Although he was not quite sure what kind of food pumpkin porridge was, when he thought about the tasks completed by the team in recent times, it could be said that they were all relying on this mysterious and awesome temporary worker!

So I immediately decided:

"Okay! Let's go up the mountain and find out what's going on!"

Yu Ge and the Marshal also echoed them enthusiastically.

The little stutterer nodded, quickly took out five plum-shaped metal darts from his metal box, then took out several large rolls of hemp rope from the backpack on his back, tied them to the ends of the plum-shaped darts, and then distributed them to everyone.

With three "swoosh" sounds, the darts in Hu Ba, Yu Ge and Dashuai's hands accurately hit the cracks in the rocks at the top of the hillside.

Immediately afterwards, there was another crisp "bang" sound in the air, and a plum blossom dart "precisely" hit a large rock protruding halfway up the mountain. Then there was a series of "da da da" and sporadic friction sounds. After the plum blossom dart was bounced off the big rock, it rolled directly down the hillside again.

"Cough cough..."

Xu Sansan laughed dryly in embarrassment. It really wasn't her fault. Her longest shooting distance was still stuck at 13 meters, and her hit rate could not be raised above 50%.

The hillside in front of her obviously exceeded her projection limit.

The little stutterer turned his head to look at Xu Sansan, gave her a comforting look, and then calmly handed the plum blossom dart in his hand to the marshal beside him. The marshal took the dart from the little stutterer's hand skillfully, and swung his right arm lightly upwards, "Snap!" The dart easily pierced into the crevice of the rock at the top of the hillside.

How should I put it? As for Xiao Jieba, probably all his genetic evolution skill points were spent on the two areas of digital calculation and material balancing. As for his physical fitness, except for his running speed, which barely reached the passing line of a genetic warrior, the rest... can only be described as disgraceful.

Perhaps he had already gotten used to and recognized the reality, so the little stutterer sought the Marshal's help without any psychological burden.

Xu Sansan nodded as if to see what he had learned. He then quickly stepped forward to pick up the plum blossom dart that had rolled to the foot of the mountain and gave it to Yu Ge.

20 minutes later, the five people finally climbed up the hillside in an atmosphere of mutual help, unity and friendship.

As soon as he turned over and sat on the top of the mountain, Xu Sansan was dumbfounded. It turned out that on the top of the mountain was a large flat and vast land!

This can be regarded as a "Central Plains" landform between plains and plateaus!

In the "Central Plains", mutant shrubs that look like giant lanterns are clustered together and grow in a large area along the edge of the hillside.

Xu Sansan stared at an orange-yellow "large lantern" not far away and frowned slightly. Not to mention why the size of this "large lantern" was comparable to a yoga ball, the shape of it hanging high in the air made her a little confused.

Shouldn't the pumpkin in this memory grow on the ground?

She began to doubt her previous judgment. At this time, the impulsive Marshal saw such a large area of ​​orange-yellow pumpkins and was very excited. He quickly took out his light brain and started to test the pumpkin closest to him.

I only heard a sound of "Ding! Slightly contaminated, edible!"

The Marshal's bright eyes immediately twinkled with little stars, and then he suddenly turned into a little stutterer, stammering excitedly:

"This this this...lightly...lightly...slightly...polluted!"

Yu Ge, Hu Ba and Xiao Jie Ba were also excited and quickly ran towards the big orange pumpkin next to the Marshal.

The four people looked like they had never seen the world before. They surrounded this slightly polluted "big lantern" and observed it eagerly and excitedly. From time to time, you touched it, I rubbed it, and I rubbed it again.

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound.

I don't know who used too much force, but accidentally pulled this "big lantern" off the branch.

Then with a "bang", the "big lantern" fell heavily to the ground.

Then there was another crisp "crack" sound, and the "big lantern" was broken directly from the center...

Suddenly, an inexplicable mysterious force overflowed from the outer shell of the "big lantern", causing Hu Ba and the other four who were surrounding it to burst into tears and sneeze continuously.

"Aqiu~~~"

"Ache~~~"

"Ah sneeze~~~"

“Ah~Ah~Ah~Aqiu~~~~~~~~~”

In less than 5 seconds, Xu Sansan saw——

Only the left half of the octagonal beard under Hu Ba's nostrils remained, and no one knew where the right half had been blown away.

Although the beard under Yu Ge's nostrils was preserved, but how could you start to look at something with your bright eyes full of tears?

Under the Marshal's nostrils, the beard was completely gone, replaced by two large strings of shiny unidentified objects.

The little stutterer covered his head and face tightly with his hands. No details could be seen clearly. He just kept making the same syllable: "Ah~Ah~Ah~..."

Hey!

Xu Sansan sighed. It was really unbearable to watch. It was too shocking!

This one is eye-irritating, not that one.

But it really, physically, hurt my eyes.

Because the "big lanterns" hanging high in front of us are not big pumpkins at all, they are clearly mutated big bell peppers!

Xu Sansan rubbed her eyes. Even from such a distance, she could still smell the chili pepper in the air. She was puzzled:

The bell peppers in my memory from my previous life were not very spicy. How come the taste changed in the end of the world?

Five minutes later, the four members of the Quartet team finally recovered from the hot and scorching series of sneezes and looked at Xu Sansan with tears in their eyes.

Xu Sansan smiled awkwardly but politely:

"Although this is not a pumpkin, it is also a rare food..."

For more than an hour, the four-member team kept moving back and forth in this "big lantern" area with red, green, orange and yellow colors, inspecting, picking, packing and transporting.

Soon, the entire bell pepper base was completely occupied by the four-party team.

They detected a total of 11 mutant bell peppers that were slightly contaminated and edible, and 16 that were moderately contaminated and usable.

In order to facilitate transportation, the Sifang team found a few relatively strong "moderately polluted" branches in the dense forest on the hillside.

With a few "snaps", Hu Ba, Yu Ge and Dashuai chopped the branches into several long wooden sticks. Xu Sansan and Xiao Jieba were responsible for a bunch of them each, and they quickly put the slightly contaminated and moderately contaminated mutated bell peppers on different wooden sticks.

Since the mutant bell peppers are quite large, in order to ensure that they do not get squeezed during transportation, only 2-3 peppers are placed on each wooden stick.

In this way, there are a total of 10 strings. When leaving, each person can tie two strings on his body, which is both efficient and safe.

Xu Sansan looked at the bunches of peppers that were temporarily stuck in the ground in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, there is indeed strength in numbers. The gene warriors are worthy of being gene warriors. It took only more than an hour to clear this large field of colored peppers. If she was alone before, it would take at least a whole day!

After a short rest, they continued to explore the "Central Plains" on the hillside.

Since we have finally come here, we might as well explore this vast area before changing direction.

The five people once again formed a cross and gradually moved towards the depths of the "Central Plains" area.

After walking only a few steps, Xu Sansan looked at the familiar green leaves in front of him and stopped unconsciously.

In fact, she had noticed the leaves of the shrubs before, but in her memory of her previous life, these leaves grew close to the ground, while the ones in front of her now were half a head taller than her, which made her unable to react for a moment.

After observing for another 5-6 minutes, Xu Sansan finally couldn't help it. He pulled out the small hoe from his waist and started digging quickly at the root of the leaves of one of the shrubs.

After a while, she dug out a large dark red lump with her hands.

"Oh my god! I'm afraid I dug up some sweet potatoes!"
