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

Xie Yuan sat in the driver's seat of the truck, looking through the rearview mirror at the exaggerated reactions of several people, and the corners of his mouth twitched under his combat mask.

Then he looked at his left hand that had just thrown out the height-increasing insole.

Oh shit!

He is not clean anymore!

His thoughts returned to him, and taking advantage of the moment when the men were caught off guard by the biological weapons, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and embedded the left front wheel of the truck directly into the crevice of the rocks next to it, then stepped on the accelerator hard. Under the impact of the accumulated power of the accelerator, the rear wheels rubbed against the sandy ground and turned rapidly.

However, because the front wheel was stuck in the crevice of the rocks, the truck could not move forward smoothly. Suddenly, the dust raised by the rear wheels flew all over the sky and covered the entire truck compartment.

Xie Yuan quickly picked up a military boot and stuck it between the accelerator and the baffle to ensure that the accelerator was still firmly pressed after he retracted his foot.

Then he bent his knees, exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and with a "whoosh", he jumped out of the window on the driver's door.

The figure took advantage of the cover of sand and dust and landed lightly behind a low rock nearby. Then, he tapped his toes and quickly went behind a few people.

Just when Tiechui and the other two took out their protective masks from their equipment bags and put them on, Xie Yuan flashed and knocked the three men unconscious with three consecutive hand knives.

"Tsk! You still need to practice! You must have been slacking off these past few days!"

The captain of the Dawn Guard possessed him again. Xie Yuan shook his head slightly and gave the three people a failing grade for their performance just now.

He immediately turned around and did the same thing to knock down three other ordinary patrol team members who were already running out of breath.

Then he quickly turned around, squatted down, pulled out the metal kettle from Tiehammer's waist, and immediately washed his hands that had touched the height-increasing insoles.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and dragged and carried the six fallen people to the cargo bed of the truck.

Inside the warehouse cave, after Xu Sansan made another feint to the east and attacked in the west, she diverted the attention of the three mechanical dogs to the farthest corner near the warehouse cave. Then, she turned over neatly, picked up the lantern, and instantly returned to the entrance of the corridor when she came out. Then, without stopping for a moment, she quickly climbed down along the spider silk left on the bulge on the cave wall.

"call!"

When her feet finally touched a pile of nuclear crystals, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, touched her sore abdominal muscles, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Five minutes later, Xie Yuan hurried back to the underground cave and saw Xu Sansan struggling to pull the nuclear crystals into the sack. He smiled slightly and hurried forward to help.

Ten minutes later, the two had packed all the nuclear crystals in the cave into sacks and plastic bags sponsored free of charge by the stall owner.

Xu Sansan looked at the 16 large hemp sacks and 4 plastic bags piled in the cave, and looked at Xie Yuan with some embarrassment.

Xie Yuan searched the stall owner's body and took out a metal plate from his inner pocket. The metal plate was engraved with the word "gamble" and there was a small identification light spot next to the word "gamble".

Xie Yuan used his optical computer to scan the identification light spot, and soon a registration interface popped up on the screen.

There are 93 hours left until the registration deadline for Fengji Stone Gambling.

Xie Yuan immediately clicked the "Register" button in the middle of the interface, and then he received a message of successful registration in his brain.

Xi Yeyuan, congratulations on your successful registration!

Depending on your gambling card level, you can invite 1-3 companions.

The specific time and location of gambling on stones will be updated one day before the windy season arrives. Please scan the gambling card in time and pay close attention to the event updates!

Xie Yuan quickly put away the metal gambling cards and whispered to Xu Sansan:

"Leave a bag of nuclear crystals for the stall owner? You decide."

Xu Sansan's eyes roamed back and forth among the dozen or so sacks in the cave, and he began to quickly calculate in his mind:

Including the stall owner, there are a total of 8 people who store nuclear crystals in this storage hole. Assuming that the inventory of the 8 people is equal, then each person has the amount of two sacks plus half a plastic bag.

According to the 1-1 split agreed upon earlier, the stall owner's share should be one sack plus one-quarter of a plastic wrapping of nuclear crystals.

Hey!

Ok!

Thieves also have their ways!

Xu Sansan felt that he should keep his promise, so he took out 1/4 of the nuclear crystals from a plastic bag, left a sack, and carried today's harvest out of the cave with Xie Yuan.

When they arrived at the cave entrance, Xie Yuan had already driven the Big Black over. Xu Sansan opened the trunk:

"ah!"

The trunk was already filled with metal boxes!

Xie Yuan touched his nose and explained concisely:

“Everything in the truck bed was also moved here.

Leaving a tail is not my style."

Xu Sansan immediately gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely:

"This style is great! I love it!"

Xie Yuan's ears immediately turned red again, and his heart trembled violently:

She likes...

Since the trunk was already full, the two men had to pile some of the sacks on the back seat, and those that couldn't fit had to be tied to the roof of the car.

After a lot of hassles, the two of them quickly got into the car and sped off towards the South City Gate...

An hour later, the three men lying in the truck slowly woke up. Looking at the other three ordinary patrol team members who were still unconscious, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

Tiechui asked doubtfully:

"Didn't we wear protective masks in time? We shouldn't have been infected, right?"

Ah Lang glanced at the protective mask that had clearly exceeded its depreciation period and sighed in disdain:

"Hey! The patrol team's equipment probably hasn't been upgraded for hundreds of years. Don't hold out any hope..."

Ma Ji took off his mask angrily, touched the back of his neck which was still a little sore, and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"This thief is very skilled. We may not have been tricked by the scent-type nuclear crystal!"

The next morning, the 336th year of the star calendar, the 109th day of the hot season, 04:40,

The stall owner in the cave slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion:

who am I?

Where am i?

Five seconds later, I suddenly found a small piece of paper in my palm, with a few words written in vigorous and powerful strokes on it:

I took the gambling card, and the nuclear crystal is the transaction price.

The stall owner then looked at the large sack beside him and the pile of nuclear crystals scattered around the sack, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise:

"Oh my god! Why are there more than before?"

All day long, Xu Sansan and Xie Yuan stayed at home, taking stock of last night's nuclear crystal harvest.

The main reason is that the number is really too large, and they need to be tested one by one, and they have to be classified according to energy value ranges. It is really not an easy job that can be done by taking shortcuts!

两人从早上一直忙到下午，这才堪堪将这9个金属箱，15个麻袋和3又3/4个塑料包袱皮儿里面的核晶全部整理了出来。

Although they are all ordinary energy-type nuclear crystals, the number is really huge—

There are 100 low-level nuclear crystals with energy values ​​between 200-10,243, with a total energy value of about 150 million;

There are 200 low-level core crystals with energy values ​​between 300-2,478, with a total energy value of about 62.5;

There are 300 low-level core crystals with energy values ​​between 400-523, with a total energy value of about 18;

There are 400 intermediate core crystals with energy values ​​between 500-119, with a total energy value of about 5;

There are 500 intermediate nuclear crystals with energy values ​​between 600-37, with a total energy value of approximately 2.

The total energy value of all the nuclear crystals is 237.5 million. Adding the previous nuclear crystal energy value of 25 at home, Xu Sansan now has a total energy value of 262.5 million in his hands!

Oh my God!

He is definitely a wealthy man!

According to previous estimates, each two-hour round-trip mission consumes at least 6 energy points. Then the energy here is enough for the aircraft to complete 43 missions!

Xie Yuan took a deep breath when he looked at the calculated value.

He had been the captain of the Dawn Guard for many years and had seen quite a bit of the world, but he had never made a single deal worth more than 200 million energy points!

Oh my god!

Is it this end of the world that has changed, or is it him who has changed!

Why did his worldview suffer a critical blow once again!

Xu Sansan glanced at Xie Yuan, who was obviously daydreaming, and smiled secretly. He thought that the captain was more adorable like this, but he had to interrupt him cruelly.

She shook Xie Yuan's sleeve vigorously:

"Come back to your senses, Captain! It's already 6:15, we need to get ready!"

So 5 minutes later, just as the large group of scavengers returned, the wicker fence door of Xu Sansan's house was slowly opened. Under the vague gazes of passers-by, Xu Sansan lowered her head, drooped her shoulders, and looked distraught as she silently pulled her cart that was unfolded to 2 meters long.

On the cart, under a large plastic sheet, was Xie Yuan, who was trying desperately to pretend to be dead.

Xie Yuan never expected that, after finally sneaking into the refugee team at Base 307, getting a light computer, and settling down in the base, he would have to fake his death again after less than a day in the light of day.

Yes, the role script that Xie Yuan got at this moment was - the death of Xie Dalang.

Xu Sansan was seen pulling the cart painfully, staggering and wailing:

"Da Lang... Da Lang... Why did you leave? The sun was scorching, I just wanted you to open your eyes again! The sky was bright and clear, but you left so hastily!"

As she spoke, she began to hum hesitantly:

"Little cabbage~~~The leaves are yellow~~~Two or three years old..."

What's the next sentence?

Damn, she actually forgot the lyrics!

Then he quickly rubbed the mutant bell pepper seeds that he had prepared in advance on his sleeves around his eyes.

I go!

This is sour, spicy and crispy!

Xu Sansan's eyes immediately filled with tears, and he couldn't help but start to sing the sad music in his mouth again:

"Where would I be if I hadn't met you?

How are you doing? Should you continue scavenging?

Maybe know another person who lives a hungry life,

I wonder if I can also drink nutritional supplements?

As time flies by, I lose you.

I am willing to drag your body to District 9. Life is not easy.

I feel bad for losing my life force! So I... please..."

Just like that, accompanied by the elegy and amid the gloating of passers-by, Xu Sansan finally pulled the cart and "Da Lang" on the cart out of the shantytown, and then turned left and right and arrived near Area 9 of the refugee camp.

At this point, the disabled "Xie Dalang" in Xu Sansan's hut died.

And Xie Yuan, from then on, was the man who had just moved next door, the one who fled from Base City No. 307 and drove a luxury car - Xi Ye Yu'an!

At the same time, in Base City No. 903, thousands of kilometers away, in a Chinese-style courtyard with pavilions and towers, a young man in a green shirt and holding a folding fan suddenly spoke:

"Make arrangements. I want to meet that 'Master De Jiu' tomorrow night..."

"Yes, Master Zi Teng."

An old man with a calm face and well-dressed clothes answered respectfully.
