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

The footsteps were heavy and wandered around the ruins for a long time. Then there was a strange sound of "hiss~hiss~cough~cough~".

Xu Sansan didn't know that this was actually the sound of the infected body slurping saliva as it was impatiently preparing to bite someone.

After a while, the "hiss~hiss~" sound gradually disappeared, and then came:

"Crack...knock..."

The sound of concrete blocks being crushed.

She gripped the wheel tighter, and the heavy and powerful footsteps became clearer and clearer. She knew clearly that the infected body was getting closer and closer to her.

His heart was pounding and sweat was seeping between his fingers. Xu Sansan blinked hard and clenched his teeth.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

In the narrow gap, only the sound of heartbeat reminded her.

You are alive, you are alive...

The footsteps lingered around her hiding place for a while, then gradually moved away and disappeared.

I waited in the gap for a long time, but still didn't hear any sound.

Could it be that the infected body just left without finding me?

Xu Sansan couldn't believe it. He checked his computer. It was 16:37. There was still more than an hour left before the gathering time. If he ran back at full speed from here, it would take at most half an hour. He had better be cautious and hide for another 1 minutes to see what the situation would be.

After 10 minutes, the surroundings were still very quiet. I moved my legs which were numb from squatting, slowly moved the car board, and looked through the small gap. There was indeed only ruins.

Reassured, he slowly moved the car board away, then tentatively stretched out a foot and stomped on the cement block outside the gap, deliberately making some noise. Seeing that the surroundings were still very quiet, he leaned out and prepared to go down the rubble.

But just as she leaned out, suddenly, a huge, ugly monster jumped out from behind the concrete block on the left, with its sharp claws and a bloody mouth full of secretions, and pounced towards her!

"what!"

Xu Sansan screamed and reflexively raised the small cart to block in front of him, barely blocking the pair of sharp claws.

However, the cart was so small and she was so weak, how could she resist the infected body with strange powers?

The sharp claws hit the cart board hard. With a "bang", before he could even stand up, he and the cart fell back into the gap with his butt.

"uh-huh……"

She groaned, not caring about the pain in her back, still holding the wheels tightly with both hands, and tried to shrink herself behind the cart.

At this moment, the infected body that had just launched the attack suddenly tilted its body, and the pile of rubble could not withstand the force it had just exploded. With a "crash", its left foot stepped on empty air and sank directly into a hole.

The other foot was lucky enough not to be killed and was still struggling outside the hole. However, the more it struggled, the bigger the hole became, until most of its body was sunk into it.

The infected body immediately opened its arms, pressed its palms tightly against the surface of the rubble, and pushed hard, preparing to leap up and deliver a fatal blow to Xu Sansan.

There was another "crash" sound, and two new holes appeared. The infected body used too much force and his arms were directly inserted into the rubble.

The sudden loss of force caused the huge infected body to completely lose its balance. With a "Duang" sound, its head fell down and got stuck in the gap.

In fact, only 2-3 seconds had passed from the time Xu Sansan fell to the ground.

She was still dominated by the fear of death. While she was struggling desperately regardless of the pain, she heard several "crashes" and "Duang" in succession, as if something heavy had hit the ground.

Then, suddenly, the pressure from the car plate disappeared.

There was no time to think, so I could only subconsciously step back, as close to the deepest part of the gap as possible, and then desperately lifted the car board to hide myself behind it.

Just a few seconds passed, and apart from the continuous "hiss~hiss~" sound nearby, the expected attack did not come.

Xu Sansan began to wonder, is there going to be an intermission or a ceremony before the meal?

Puzzled, she carefully removed the car panel and looked out:

"grass!"

She was so shocked that she immediately sang the national quintessence!

She saw the hideous head of the infected body right in front of her, less than half a meter away, drooling at her!

What’s going on?

Xu Sansan's body was trembling, and she tried to shrink inward, fearing that the infected body would bite her.

But she fiddled with her calf for a while and saw that it still stayed in the same place, with its mouth open and its dark eyes, and no one knew where it was looking.

I'm really confused.

I'm afraid I met a fool...

Without daring to think too much, Xu Sansan took out the surgical scalpel without hesitation, plucked up her courage, and stabbed it directly into the infected body's eyeball. Just poking it in was not enough, she kicked the handle of the scalpel with her foot to make it go deeper. Finally, she did not forget to turn it a few more times as Xie Yuan reminded her, to ensure that the brain tissue was completely damaged.

I watched the infected body shake its head and struggle until it stuck out its tongue and died, and then I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't dare to stay any longer, and trembling, she stepped out of the gap, caught a glimpse of the big hole in the rubble, realized something, and then she picked up the cart and ran towards the assembly point without looking back.

Surviving the disaster did not bring much relief, but instead brought waves of fear.

Xu Sansan came to the intersection again and looked to the left fork.

Well, the hoe is gone.

Alas, what a pity.

Just as she turned around and was about to run back, suddenly, another infected body jumped out from the half-collapsed building next to her.

"what!!!!"

Xu Sansan screamed and was so frightened that she fell down on her butt. She subconsciously raised the cart to block herself.

Then several gunshots were heard and three guards in purple combat uniforms appeared.

One of them held a gun and guarded the surroundings, another quickly cut open the infected body's head with a long knife and took out a yellow nuclear crystal, and another stepped forward to pull her up and warned:

"This road is not safe, go that way back to the spaceship!"

which way to go

But I just came from there...

Although he was speechless, he still turned back obediently.

When passing by the rubble, I saw that the infected body was still hanging there, neither humble nor arrogant, and not moving at all.

Xu Sansan looked at the infected body that silently took on all the heads, made up his mind, and climbed up again.

Since I almost lost my life, I must ask for some compensation for mental damage!

After hearing a few "Puff! Puff!" sounds, Xu Sansan began to "dissect" along the mouth upwards. After a while, the same yellow nuclear crystal was taken out.

He rubbed the things on the rubble with some disgust, then put them into the cloth bag on his chest, and started running towards the gathering place along the edge of the protective shield.

On the way back, she remembered the little girl who worked with her and the things in the girl's backpack.

I don't know if she's still alive.

The key is whether the backpack is still there.

That's the spoils of a whole day's hard work...

Along the way, she saw many guard members carrying or dragging the bodies of scavengers towards the spaceship. In fact, she had given up hope.

Well, as long as I can save my life, it's not like I have gained nothing today...

When we finally got back to the spacecraft's docking point, we saw that familiar figure sitting on a stone slab not far away, looking around from time to time.

Xu Sansan was delighted and stepped forward quickly.

"Looking around, who are you looking for?"

The little girl turned her head and was disappointed when she saw her:

"I thought I couldn't wait for you."

Xu Sansan was not happy: "Humph! How could I possibly give you the chance to keep it all to myself!"

The little girl pouted and pulled the backpack over: "The things are all here. After we separated, I met the Xuanwu Guards... What about you?"

She coughed dryly: "Me too!"

So the two of them found a deserted place and began to "divide the spoils".

In the end, Xu Sansan got 6 toothbrushes, two plastic cups, two small basins, and a mirror.

"I sold that information to the private soldiers. They have excavation robots and can afford the price."

"How much did you sell?"

"20 contribution points, 10 points per person."

Xu Sansan nodded, but did not try to determine the truth of the statement because he had no idea where to start.

He added the contact, received the 10 contribution points transferred to him, and with the girl's witness, he deleted the photos, put his things in place, tied up the cart, and then the two of them parted ways.

In the last days, all cooperation is like this. After the "division of the spoils" is completed, everyone will go their separate ways and no longer care about each other.

Before boarding the spacecraft, the scavengers had returned to the gathering point one after another.

As long as one is alive, no one will return empty-handed.

There were even some fully-equipped ones that transported supplies back in truckloads. These trucks had no wheels but tank tracks instead. They were obviously designed and manufactured specifically for traveling on ruins. The carriages were large and there were cranes on the roofs. Well, they were very hardcore.

The spacecraft has a special hatch for these large machines to enter and exit.

This truck looks very safe. People don't need to get off the truck. They can just operate the mechanical arm to dig.

Sure enough, you have to be rich everywhere!

Xu Sansan was a little envious.

At this moment, a bald man walked straight towards her from the crowd...
