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

Xu Sansan took out the special invitation gold card given to her by the underground auction. The plum blossom pin on the corner of the gold card was indeed flickering with light.

It seems that this message was sent from Base City No. 903, and used the encrypted channel connected by the plum blossom nail.

Xu Sansan responded politely:

"What's up, Mr. Du?"

The light brain quickly received a reply:

"I have already opened your temporary account, and the dividends from Sunset Glow have been deposited into it as scheduled. Converted into points for Base 903, the current balance in your temporary account is 314,159.26."

Xu Sansan looked at this number with both zeros and integers and rolled his eyes.

Why don't you just post the three words "pi"? !

What the hell are you doing today? You’re playing with numbers again, right?

Complaints are complaints, but etiquette still needs to be maintained:

"Thank you, Mr. Du, for your hard work and commitment."

I thought the conversation was over, but the other party quickly sent another message:

“It’s better to express gratitude in person, so that it appears more sincere, isn’t it?

For your temporary account, I can extend it for up to 90 days.

You know, Base 903 has many rules and restrictions, and there are some things I can't do too much.

For the safety of your property, you'd better come here before the snow season to upgrade the temporary account to a formal account."

Xu Sansan frowned. Did this mean that she was going on a long journey?

So he went straight to the studio next door, where Xie Yuan was working overtime on the positioning system on the sniper rifle. Then he saw San San suddenly push the door open.

"why are not you sleeping?"

Xie Yuan put down the tools in his hands and said with concern.

Xu Sansan shook his head, half explaining and half asking:

"Is Base 903 far away? Is it possible to go there?"

At the same time, in the inner city of Base 903, in a Chinese-style courtyard, beside a carved wooden table, Master Du looked at the message on the optical computer that had not been replied to for a long time, took a sip of the light tea in the sky-blue porcelain cup, and said:

"If she doesn't come, is there any other way?"

The well-dressed old butler stood respectfully aside, hesitated for a moment, and replied:

"What the old master meant is that we have to confirm it in person."

In the shantytown studio, Xu Sansan sat on a small stool and voted on the chat records in his brain. Xie Yuan sat next to him and quickly browsed the information again. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

“If we leave during the windy season, we may have to take a detour.

At the current speed of Little Broken Egg, it will take at least two days and two nights to arrive, a total of 96 hours for the round trip. If calculated based on 3 energy points per hour, then at least 288 million energy points will be consumed..."

The family’s current savings are 262.5 million energy points.

I go!

Is this so pitfall?!

This would require her to spend all her money to open an account!

After Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, he continued:

"However, there are often merchant ships traveling between bases, and you can also consider taking these merchant ships."

"A cargo ship?"

Xu Sansan suddenly turned around and raised her head. Her big round eyes kept blinking as she stared at Xie Yuan. She was very curious about all the new knowledge.

Xie Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the little face of the girl in front of him. There seemed to be stars twinkling in her big eyes. Under her pretty nose, a pair of pink red lips were slightly open, like his favorite peach. Her half-dry hair was casually spread out. She loved to let her hair down like this every time after taking a shower.

Xie Yuan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he resisted the urge to raise his hand to gently touch her cheek. The tip of his ear unconsciously turned red again. He coughed unnaturally, nodded, and continued to answer the girl's question with strong reason:

"right.

The trade between our base and Base No. 903 is mainly nuclear crystals and nutrient solution.

Our base uses the energy core crystals as a consideration in exchange for the nutrient solution produced by Base City No. 903."

Xu Sansan tilted his head. It turned out that the nutrient solution was not produced by the base itself?

Doubtfully said:

"Doesn't our base produce nutrient solution itself?"

Xie Yuan stared at her pink lips as they opened and closed. The two of them sat side by side on a plastic bench, very close to each other, so close that Xie Yuan could clearly smell the faint fragrance wafting from her body; but they seemed very far away from each other, so far that Xie Yuan felt that he had to wait at least two years and twelve days before... before...

Damn!

He suddenly thought of the conversation with Scar in the morning, and his body suddenly experienced some strange changes.

Xie Yuan took a few deep breaths, suppressed the desire in his heart, reached out and touched San San's little head, and further explained:

"Nutrient solution is also food. All bases are short of food, except for Base City No. 903."

Xu Sansan's little head was gently rubbed by Xie Yuan's big hand. Listening to his low, magnetic, and slightly hoarse voice, he suddenly realized that the distance between them seemed to be very close.

Her arm was currently pressed against the outside of Xie Yuan's thigh, which was propped up high on the small plastic stool.

I don't know when it started, but every time they talk, they seem to unconsciously lean against each other...

Xu Sansan felt so hot from Xie Yuan's scorching gaze that her little face turned pink instantly.

Done!

It’s this feeling again!

Why is it that every time Xie Yuan stared at her like this, she would... would feel a little hot unconsciously?

Xu Sansan quickly lowered his head and cut off the eye contact with Xie Yuan.

And quickly analyzed every word he just said in his mind, so that he could calm down in time -

So what did he just say?

Oh shit!

How come I can't remember it at all?!

Xie Yuan looked at the sudden blush on the girl's face, and saw that she was deliberately avoiding the question, so he knew that she was about to change the subject.

So he curled the corners of his mouth, coughed lightly, and repeated his previous words very considerately.

Xu Sansan kept reciting the recently created Heart Purification Mantra in his mind. After listening to Xie Yuan's thoughtful explanation, he finally regained his senses:

In other words, Base 103 is equivalent to an energy powerhouse in the previous life, similar to the UAE, with mined nuclear crystals as its main trade export, while Base City 903 is equivalent to an agricultural powerhouse, exporting nutrient solution in exchange for other important materials it needs, such as nuclear crystals.

No wonder everyone says that Base City No. 903 is rich and advanced. There is a shortage of food in this doomsday, and this base alone can provide all other base cities with the nutrient solution they rely on for survival. It is really awesome!

"But...why can it produce nutrient solution while other base cities can't? Does it have abundant supplies and sufficient food?"

Xu Sansan no longer dared to look at Xie Yuan. He just lowered his head and continued to ask questions sullenly.

Xie Yuan looked at the awkward girl in front of him, smiled softly in his heart, and sighed:

"This is a secret of the base, how can it be spread outside? Just like the mine in our base, not everyone knows its exact coordinates."

Oh... that's right...

Xu Sansan nodded to himself:

These are all strategic resources at the national level and must be well managed and strictly controlled.

So, after learning about the foreign trade background of the base, she fled in panic again, quickly running back to the cabin, away from the studio that made her cheeks slightly hot and her body feel hot.

After finally calming down and thinking for a moment, Xu Sansan replied to Boss Du:

"I'll try my best."

She decided not to talk about death yet and to deal with it as the time came.

At midnight, on a rooftop in the base's inner city, Riyue shook his red hair, stood under the starry sky, with his back to the full moon:

"Yes, you did a great job. Having Scar join us directly means that the entire Dawn's combat power will be able to back us up in the future. I believe that before the general election in the snow season, we will be able to win enough votes from the Conservative Party."

Wu Feng lowered his head, put his right hand across his chest, and bowed respectfully:

"I am willing to serve the Admiral."

Riyue waved his hand:

"No need to be polite. You know I never care about these formalities. By the way, I heard that the new Yamaguchi-gumi is interested in recruiting people at the base?"

Wu Feng nodded, his face solemn:

"Yes. They used a rare nuclear crystal to take over a large piece of land and planned to build a training ground there. I am worried that the general..."

Riyue turned around, looked at the full moon in the sky, and sighed:

"If the general recruits the Yamaguchi-gumi, we may have another competitor in the future. This election will not be easy."

At the same time, in a room in the inner city of the base, next to a glass of light yellow simulated beer, there was a gray mysterious nuclear crystal.

From time to time, a purple-blue light would appear on the surface of the gray nuclear crystal. The light appeared suddenly, like lightning, and directly cut the surface of the gray nuclear crystal into several pieces. In just 0.01 seconds, the light flashed by, and the gray nuclear crystal returned to calm again.

A pair of large hands gently stroked the nuclear crystal, and a majestic voice suddenly sounded:

"What did Yamaguchi Iyo say?"

Yueying hid his entire face in his hood, standing in the corner of the room, and answered calmly:

"He said that this ultra-high-grade lightning nuclear crystal is a family heirloom of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and it is also a token of their appreciation."

"Oh? A token of my appreciation?"

Yueying continued:

"Of course, Iyo Yamaguchi also said that the entire Yamaguchi-gumi is willing to submit to the general."

"Hahaha! Very good! They know what's good for them."

The majestic voice suddenly laughed,

"By the way, how is the deciphering of the ciphertext in the armory going?"

Yueying shook her head:

“Not yet.”

"Humph! I didn't expect that this Riyue actually has some real skills. Since the decoding of the weapons depot has not been completed yet, we can't act rashly on Riyue's side."

Yueying looked up, a little hesitant:

"I saw Scar's name on the latest list of nominees for captain of the Wind."

"Oh?"

The majestic voice paused and continued:

"Have they already won over Scar? Has Scar found any clues about Xie Yuan?"

Moon Shadow bowed his head:

"No. The surveillance results from the South City Gate Black Market also show that Xie Yuan has not appeared in the black market since the eavesdropping device was removed."

The majestic voice murmured:

"Strange. This shouldn't be the case. Since the 'key' hasn't shown any new fluctuations, it means Xie Yuan shouldn't be dead, but there has been no trace of him...

Could it be that he left Base 103?"

Yueying frowned, disagreeing:

"But he was poisoned by a neurotoxin, so he shouldn't still be alive, right?"

The big hand stroked the glass of simulated beer, and the majestic voice was very firm:

"As long as the fluctuations of the 'key' do not appear, Xie Yuan must still be alive.

Keep searching!

Behave properly to avoid being hounded by those old Conservative Party guys.

We must proceed with caution before we get the arsenal in Sun's hands."

"Yes!"
