Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times
Chapter 136 Broken City
At 08:30 in the morning, Xu Sansan and the four members of the Sifang team met on time at the entrance of the recycling station in the southeast corner of the base.
The Marshal opened his bright eyes and first spotted Xu Sansan behind the old cleaning car, so he waved enthusiastically and greeted him:
"Xiao Xu!"
Xu Sansan smiled and nodded to the four people:
"Morning, everyone!"
As soon as I approached, I heard Yu Ge suddenly lower his voice and said mysteriously:
"Did you hear that?"
Xu Sansan raised his eyebrows, smelling the scent of gossip, so he quickly stretched his neck and continued the conversation very cooperatively:
"What happened?"
Hu Ba and Little Stutter looked at each other, curled their lips, and were obviously not interested:
Could it be fake news that the Demon Wolf Squad had defected?
The Marshal blinked his bright eyes and came over quickly:
"What? Say it quickly!"
Yu Ge stroked his eight-cornered beard under his nostrils, cleared his throat, and glanced around pretentiously. After making sure that no one was around, he spoke in a low voice:
"This is top secret within the base, you must not go out and spread it around!"
When Hu Ba and Xiao Jieba heard this, they were shocked. This is the base’s top secret?
That definitely wasn't a case of the Demon Wolf defecting, so they immediately became interested and quickly gathered around, echoing:
"Stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me now!"
"Sh~Sh~Say it!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost created, Yu Ge whispered:
"I heard that Base 307 was breached! Last night!"
what? !
Break the city?!
What do you mean?
Xu Sansan obviously didn't quite understand.
At this time, Hu Ba shook his eight-cornered beard under his nostrils and sighed:
"Hey... I haven't heard of the news of the city being destroyed for decades. I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! Hey! Do you have a reason?"
Yu Ge shook his head:
"There's a rumor that it's because of a beast tide, but there's no beast tide in the hot season, so there's no definite answer right now."
The Marshal sighed:
“I don’t know how many people can survive…”
The little stutterer shook his head:
"Ten...ten...one or two, no...less than..."
The more Xu Sansan listened, the more frightened he became. He couldn't reveal his identity as Xiaobai, but he also wanted to get more information, so he could only tentatively agree with him:
"If the city is breached, then the base will be gone, right?"
Hu Ba nodded:
"Of course! Once the city is breached, the base's protective shield will immediately become ineffective, and all the people and supplies will probably be gone!"
Xu Sansan frowned and asked a guiding question:
"Isn't there a temporary protective shield?"
Yu Ge patted Xu Sansan on the shoulder:
"There are a limited number of temporary protective shields. Even if all of them are activated immediately, how many people and supplies can be saved?"
Xu Sansan secretly translated in his mind:
In other words, the failure of the base city's protective shield does not affect the effectiveness of the temporary protective shield...
At this time, the Marshal added:
"Base No. 307, I don't think it was using contribution points..."
The little stutterer nodded:
"Base...base point."
Xu Sansan was shocked again:
what?
So the currency systems are different between bases?!
So...how do we trade?
She couldn't help but think of the master appraiser who was remotely connected to the underground auction. He seemed to be from Base 903, right?
Doesn’t it cost money to ask him to appraise it?
If you spend money and the monetary system is inconsistent, how do you settle the bill?
The Marshal closed his bright eyes with a look of pain and smacked his lips:
"Alas! What a pity! So many people's basis point balances were gone before they could be used!"
At this time, Hu Ba hit the Marshal on the back in annoyance and scolded him:
"How many times have I told you this! The balance in your optical brain is just a number. Once a crisis comes, it means nothing. You still need supplies. Supplies are your last resort!"
Xu Sansan suddenly realized:
Yes!
Since the monetary systems of various base cities are different, it is highly likely that transactions are carried out through barter.
Although barter is primitive, it is the most reliable way of trading in the end times.
From this perspective, the base city is not 100% safe!
Sure enough, in the end times, materials are still king!
Xu Sansan thought about the hundreds of thousands of contribution points remaining in his computer and suddenly felt that it wasn't that good anymore!
He sighed softly and decided to go back and talk to Xie Yuan about exchanging it for hard currency like nuclear crystals, which would be safer!
At the same time, Xie Yuan put on his headscarf, rowed the cart, and pushed open the gate on the rattan fence wall.
That’s right, out of caution, he chose to continue pretending to be disabled and still went out on a cart every day.
After all, the garrison has already conducted a comprehensive scan of the shantytowns, and there may be further plans in the future. In order to conceal their tracks, it is better not to expose too much of your true situation.
As soon as he arrived at the public restroom, he heard whispers coming from the cubicles.
Alas, as a grown man, he really doesn't want to eavesdrop on others, but his strength recovered too much last night, and his hearing improved instantly, even surpassing his previous peak state.
So, at this moment, he was very embarrassed to listen to everyone's whispers:
"Hey! Do you know? I heard that Base 307 was breached!"
"What?! Is this true?!"
"It's absolutely true! This is the top secret that leaked out from the base. I will only tell you, don't tell anyone else!"
"I know, I know!"
Xie Yuan's fingers tapped the car board unconsciously:
The city has been breached... Base 307...
In my memory, it doesn’t seem too far away…
He pondered for a moment, his eyes gradually brightened, and a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his lips...
At the recycling station in the southeast corner of the base, Xu Sansan and the four members of the Sifang team were chatting about the top secret of the base city that was already in a semi-public state, while walking quickly towards the metal hut of One-Eyed Zhang.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Qin Ergou squatting at the door, looking anxiously.
"Third sister! You are finally here!"
Qin Ergou immediately wagged his tail to please:
"You said in your message that I got a lot of supplies this time, is that true?!"
Xu Sansan was caught off guard by the overwhelming enthusiasm, and quickly pulled Qin Ergou's sleeve and whispered:
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll talk about your matter later. Let's finish the serious business first!"
Qin Ergou was quite sensible and immediately calmed down.
Are you kidding me? His third sister has spoken, how could he not listen? !
At this time, One-Eyed Zhang walked out of the house slowly, glared at Hu Ba unhappily, and said in a tone of anger and hatred:
"Tell me, this aircraft was repaired less than a day ago, how come it broke down again?! You! Are you deliberately trying to bankrupt my recycling station?!"
Hu Ba shook his eight-cornered beard under his nostrils and quickly comforted him:
"Hey, Lao Zhang, don't be so anxious! Check the condition of the aircraft first, and then we can slowly discuss the maintenance plan!"
Hu Ba just laughed it off and refused to mention the money.
One-eyed Zhang snorted coldly, took the key from Hu Ba, and went to check the aircraft.
Xu Sansan touched her nose guiltily. She was actually fully responsible for the failure of the aircraft.
Hey……
Although she does have some savings now, she is very stingy!
After thinking it over and over again, hesitating for a long time at the fork in the road of morality, he sent a message to Xie Yuan's "little button":
Can you repair aircraft?
