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

In the secret room of the Brotherhood at the Dongchengmen Black Market, in a metal cage measuring 5 meters in length, width and height, lay a man with a metal needle and a plastic catheter inserted in his arm.

A short, childlike man slowly came to the cage, holding a metal box that was shaking back and forth and making a squeaking sound.

With a "creak", a small door of the metal cage was opened. The door was not big, just big enough for the metal box in the "child's" hand to be inserted into it.

The "child" put the metal box into the small door of the cage, then fastened the metal buckles around the small door, fixed the metal box firmly on the small door, and then with a "whoosh", used a chain on the outside of the metal box to open the metal box towards the door inside the cage.

Suddenly, accompanied by a series of squeaking sounds, a mutant rat with a pitch-black body and a mouth full of sharp teeth quickly jumped out of the metal box.

The mutant rat looked at the person lying on the ground in the cage with fierce eyes and drooling greedily. It jumped up quickly and flew directly to the person lying on the ground. It instinctively wanted to use its sharp claws to scratch him and leave a bloody mark.

If you look closely, you will find that the mutant rat's four claws are firmly locked by a special metal shackle, making it impossible for the mutant rat's claws to cause any harm to the unconscious person on the ground.

Seeing that its claws were ineffective and the expected smell of blood did not come, the mutant rat could not wait and opened its mouth wide to start biting the person's arm on the ground.

After 30 seconds, suddenly, with a "sizzle" sound, a strong electric current struck the mutant mouse directly. The mutant mouse, which was biting with relish, immediately fell in a pool of blood.

"Hey, I wonder if this little black mouse can continue the experiment. Really, every time I do research and development, the little black mouse is the most expensive..."

The "child" muttered to himself as he opened the door of the metal cage and put the mutant rat that was stunned by electricity on the ground into the metal box.

Then he walked slowly to the person lying on the ground, looked at the arm that had been bitten beyond recognition, clicked his tongue twice, and took out a metal bottle from his pocket. There was a label on the metal bottle:

Batch 3.

The "child" poured the black and red liquid in the metal bottle evenly onto his arm, then took out his light brain and started filming his arm.

The black-red liquid was instantly absorbed after it came into contact with the gnawed wound, and then wisps of black gas began to emerge from the wound...

Three minutes later, the "child" put a cross on the label of the metal bottle, sighed, shook his head, and walked out of the metal cage cursing.

In the special parking space of the Shunfeng team, in the "Little Broken Egg" aircraft of the Quartet Team, Xie Yuan was busy from the one-eyed man, "You can actually do this?" to "Hey, show me the inlaying technique just now again."

The sun was setting and it was almost 18:30. With his superb skills, amazing hand speed, and unique design concept, Xie Yuan carried out a comprehensive transformation and upgrade of the "Little Broken Egg".

Not only have the original energy converters, balance systems, braking devices and other core components been reset and connected, but the conversion efficiency and linkage sensitivity between components have also been improved, making the aircraft smoother and more energy-efficient in operation and response.

The only pity is that One-Eyed Zhang couldn't get the aircraft's autopilot core chip, so this upgraded "little broken egg" is still a sad manual transmission...

After Xie Yuan tightened the last screw next to the driving screen, he slowly stood up, moved his shoulders, and stretched his hips, knees and ankles.

He almost always maintained a half-squat or full-squat posture on the aircraft, which put some pressure on his leg joints that had just recovered.

He walked back and forth on the aircraft, further feeling the condition of his leg muscles, mentally thinking about the next recovery training.

At this time, One-Eyed Zhang limped over, staring at Xie Yuan, who was in the aircraft with a small towel wrapped around his head and face, with shining eyes, and said tentatively:

"Young man, if you have any difficulties in life, you can tell me. Although your uncle Zhang is not a wealthy man, he has opened a factory..."

Yes, One-eyed Zhang had been completely impressed by Xie Yuan's modification technology this afternoon. From the very beginning, he had been disdainful and disgusted in the early morning, and he was arrogant and suspicious on the way there. After observing the scene in the afternoon, he was stunned and couldn't believe it. Finally, he upgraded to the current euphemistic inquiries and tried his best to recruit him.

One-eyed Zhang firmly believed that if the talent of this young man could be combined with his technology, in a few years, his recycling station might become the second Taijiang!

Xie Yuan was stunned. Is he having difficulties in life?

Before, apart from the inconvenience of my legs and feet, I ate well, slept well, and used everything well. What other difficulties could there be?

Now that even his legs and feet were more convenient, he looked at One-Eyed Zhang hesitantly, and was at a loss for words, not knowing how to start.

One-eyed Zhang looked at Xie Yuan's hesitant expression and felt a little anxious. Such a good seedling should not be buried because of poverty. With this technology, as long as it is brought into the city, it can crush a large number of so-called masters in minutes!

One-eyed Zhang coughed lightly. He was not very good at those empty words, so he went straight to the point:

"Young man, I heard that you couldn't afford the rent in the base city, so you have been living in the shantytown outside the city, relying on odd jobs to make a living.

Your uncle Zhang is also a down-to-earth person and is very optimistic about your skills. So, you can work with me in the future. I have an empty metal room in my recycling station, which I will rent to you at a low price. You don't have to worry about the rent. I will pay for the first 30 days, and the rest will be deducted from your salary. How about that?"

Xie Yuan's mouth stiffened. So was the reason San San made up for him not being able to enter the city because he was poor?

Hey!

Well, this reason is indeed something that a money-grubber like her could come up with.

Xie Yuan smiled awkwardly, deliberately lowered his voice, and refused:

"I appreciate Uncle Zhang's kindness. In fact, I have long been accustomed to poverty and have developed feelings for the shantytown, so I will not move into the city."

What can he do? He is an illegal resident and no matter how high the salary is, he cannot enter the city.

Besides, why should he face an old man every day? He has to live with San San!

One-eyed Zhang still refused to give up and wanted to list a few more arguments in an attempt to convince Xie Yuan.

At this time, Xie Yuan suddenly changed the subject:

"The key system configurations are now fine. The only thing left is the shell. Although it's not difficult to process the shell, it's a bit time-consuming... I estimate it will take another 3 hours to finish it. Otherwise, you can go back first?"

Xie Yuan raised his lips and continued to ask indirect questions:

"I noticed that it took you quite a long time to get here this afternoon. It seems that you are quite far away. It's getting late now. It would be dangerous to get home too late, don't you think?"

One-eyed Zhang’s face froze, damn it!

How could he have forgotten this? He hadn't been away from home for a long time and he almost forgot that he had a poor sense of direction!

Thinking about the winding path of the base, it is indeed unsafe after dark.

So One-Eyed Zhang nodded, quickly packed his toolbox, and drove away quickly on his second-hand electric tricycle.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to add:

"If you have time, please come to the recycling station and we can have a good chat!"

After Xie Yuan sent One-Eyed Zhang away, he took out the compressed biscuits and sausages he had prepared in advance from his pocket, and drank the mutant peach juice in the plastic bottle. After finishing his dinner in a few bites, he began to speed up the repair and modification of the aircraft's outer shell.

Two hours later, Xu Sansan and the four members of the Sifang team, who had just come out of the private military camp, happened to meet One-Eyed Zhang who had already circled the private military camp for the third time.

The Marshal blinked his bright eyes and first spotted the one-eyed Zhang riding on a second-hand electric tricycle, so he waved his hand and greeted him enthusiastically:

"Master Zhang!"

Master Zhang was sweating profusely and looked up from the "Haohan" map on the optical computer in a trance. When he saw the people from the Quartet team, he was like seeing a savior, and one of his eyes suddenly lit up!

Xu Sansan looked at the one-eyed Zhang riding on the three-wheeled motorcycle, and was suddenly a little distracted.

The technical geek delivered a hot tricycle, so exquisite!

So, as One-Eyed Zhang was hesitant and stammering, everyone finally guessed Master Zhang's shocking secret. Then the Sifang team and Xu Sansan very considerately jumped into the bed of the three-wheeled motorcycle. On the surface, they were going to the recycling station to discuss the cost of aircraft maintenance materials, but in reality, of course, they were acting as a human navigation to show the old tech geek the way.

When Xu Sansan took out the list of materials worth 35,000 contribution points from One-Eyed Zhang, the sun was about to set.

After several rounds of tug-of-war between the Sifang team and Xu Sansan, Hu Ba finally won - the cost of the maintenance supplies will be borne entirely by the remaining balance of the Sifang team.

The reason is simple. The aircraft is the team's equipment, and the damage to the equipment occurred during the mission.

What's more, everyone in the team owes Xiao Xu for saving their lives!

However, since the quartet team just replenished a round of equipment and supplies today, the total available balance is less than 28,000 points.

So Xu Sansan opened her mouth at the right time and offered to pay the shortfall first, and it would not be too late to return it to her when the team had sufficient funds. After all, this aircraft also helped her find four wild duck eggs.

This wild duck egg was purely a private job. Regardless of her touching driving skills, she should bear the extra maintenance costs just for the wild duck egg.

It's just a pity that Hu Ba insisted that she could pay the extra part and he wouldn't have to bear it.

At the dedicated parking space in Shunfeng, inside the "Little Broken Egg" aircraft, Xie Yuan's hands moved at great speed, and he finally completed all the maintenance work ahead of schedule before the sun set at 8:.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the tracking location on the "little button", and frowned:

Why did Niu Juanhua, who had been staying in the Dongchengmen black market for many days, suddenly start moving?

Is this...leaving town?
