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

06:30, the spacecraft took off.

Xu Sansan pulled the cart to a random corner, and then the radio started to sound:

Today's special task is slightly contaminated or uncontaminated corn. Good luck to everyone.

Suddenly there was a lot of noise in the cabin.

The boy next to Xu Sansan excitedly held his sister's hand:

"I was wondering why there were so many people here today! I didn't expect they found some food!"

The older sister next to him took over the conversation:

"Of course! The news was released last night! I heard that it was discovered by the guards!"

Another middle-aged lady who was dressed relatively cleanly said with some pride:

"It was discovered by the Xuanwu Guards. My son is in their second team..."

The old lady next to the aunt, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke:

"Ah! No wonder you were so calm before, you must have known last night that more spacecraft would be sent!"

At this time, an old woman with a pointed face carrying a basket came running from the other side and said to the aunt with an apologetic smile: "Hey, is your son here today? You see, we have been neighbors for so many years, please give me a larger area..."

The middle-aged man not far away couldn't help but retort: ​​"Go away, what kind of neighbor are you? There are at least 10 households between us. If you want to talk about neighbors, Sister Zhao, we are the real neighbors!"

Suddenly, the aunt named Sister Zhao became a popular person within a 10-meter radius around Xu Sansan.

Some wanted to establish kinship, some wanted to build relationships, some wanted to secretly offer benefits, some wanted to discuss profit sharing, and some even wanted to start matchmaking...

Sitting in the "center of the storm", Xu Sansan couldn't help but sigh that this end of the world is no exception. Wherever there are people, there are interpersonal relationships.

Before she could think further, someone suddenly shouted:

"My sack! Who stole my sack?!"

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd that was originally flattering around Sister Zhao instantly dispersed and began to check their things. Are you kidding? There is food today! If these things that hold food are lost, it will be a big loss.

Then the noise gradually died down, and everyone began to be alert to their surroundings and watch out for each other.

Xu Sansan: Well, the end of the world is still the end of the world, everyone is in danger, and it’s the end of the world with only food left!

Soon, a familiar broadcast sounded:

The hatch is about to open, please be careful and do not leave the protective cover.

With a "bang", the spacecraft landed in Wasteland No. 17.

What came into view was not the dense forest that Xu Sansan had imagined, but an endless grassland!

It turns out that there is more than one kind of wasteland.

The grassland is so vast that you can't see the end at a glance.

Xu Sansan couldn't help but touch the half-human-high grass leaves in front of him. They were plump, thick and elastic.

Well, it’s worthy of being a mutant grassland, the weeds are growing so lush!

At this time, a loud voice came from behind:

"Those who want to participate in the special mission, come this way and follow the Xuanwu Guard south. Those who don't want to participate can move freely. The assembly time remains unchanged."

Xu Sansan turned around and the first thing he saw was the endless golden fields in the distance, and then the members of the Xuanwu Guard standing outside the crowd.

The purple combat uniform stands out particularly against the golden background.

A tall young woman, estimated to be at least 180cm tall, was holding a loudspeaker and continued to introduce herself: "I am Gao Xuan, the captain of the 5th Squadron of the Xuanwu Guards. I am responsible for assigning today's special missions."

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd began to discuss:

"There have never been any assignments for previous tasks, have you?"

"Yeah, I just did a special mission yesterday, and I didn't hear that there were any guard members leading it!"

"Of course, this thing grows on the ground. Whoever has the ability to get it owns it!"

……

After the noise gradually died down, Gao Xuan held up the loudspeaker and explained: "1. There are many people here today. To avoid trampling or fighting, please obey the arrangements. Otherwise, guns have no eyes; 2. The cornfield is very vast. Everyone should try to improve efficiency..."

The few troublemakers who had been suppressed by her with guns were still somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to call on everyone to come forward and argue, but then they heard that the place was too big and they had to improve efficiency, so they immediately stopped thinking and decided to wait and see the situation first.

Soon, all the scavengers who got off the spaceship followed the Xuanwu Guards to the cornfield in the south. No one chose to move freely, including Xu Sansan.

After all, in the end times, no one can resist the temptation of food.

As they walked, members of the Xuanwu Guards shuttled back and forth in the crowd. Every time they passed a scavenger, they would use a square instrument to scan the other person's light computer, and then remind them not to exceed this range, otherwise the data would be uploaded to the guard station and their scavenging qualifications would be permanently revoked.

Soon, it was Xu Sansan's turn. After being scanned, a map with coordinates popped up in the optical brain, followed by a familiar warning: "This is your collection range. Do not exceed this coordinate range..."

Xu Sansan suddenly realized that the guards had already divided the areas. As long as he behaved himself within the areas, he should be able to get through today's scavenging safely.

As the coordinate ranges were distributed, the crowd gradually dispersed...

It was 45 minutes later when Xu Sansan ran to her own area. It must be said that this cornfield was really too big, and she was not the one who was assigned to the farthest area. Those who were assigned to the border were still running wildly on the road!

"Oh my god! I'm already exhausted before we even start!"

Xu Sansan wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly wrapped himself in a small towel, and looked around at his own little piece of land.

Well, it seems to be at least 3 acres of land!

The key is, isn’t this corn a little too big? !

Not only are they taller than humans, but each husk is half a meter thick and each corn seed is as big as a steamed bun. It's truly a mutant cornfield!

If you want to pick corn, you have to climb up the corn stalks first!

It turns out that we need to improve our efficiency, otherwise the detection may not be completed until the evening!

Xu Sansan looked at his cart and suddenly felt a little disgusted.

The corn is not even grown yet. How can we transport it back in the afternoon?

Are you going to ask for help again?

However, Xu Sansan soon realized that he was overthinking.

Because after she climbed up and down the corn leaves countless times and for almost three hours, she didn't even detect a single edible corn cob.

As expected, the wasteland is still the wasteland where metaphysics is supreme!

Xu Sansan, who was sitting slumped under a corn leaf, drank a sip of water weakly, and then silently began to believe in feudal superstition in his heart:

"Please, my goddess of luck, where are you today?

Please, my lucky goddess, you are pretty and elegant, with a pair of beautiful big eyes and thick and long braids!

Thank you for your love, which I will never forget even in this world!

Thank you for your favor to me. It is worth my waiting this morning!"

Before the song of praise was finished, a wail was heard in the distance:

"I didn't go beyond the scope! I was wronged! I was wronged!"

Then a thin man was seen appearing at the edge of the cornfield in the distance with his arms and legs bared. He was pulled out of the field directly by the members of the Xuanwu Guard.

Then, a pair of handcuffs that shone with a cool metallic luster in the bright sun were put on his wrists. No one knew what happened, but soon he stopped shouting and stood there like a wooden chicken, as if he had suddenly lost his soul.

Xu Sansan glanced at the metal handcuffs on his wrists from a distance and sighed inwardly:

Could it be some kind of doomsday black technology?

She shook her head and looked away, then she discovered that the shady side of several leaves of a corn stalk next to her were covered with large, crystal clear pearls.

The pearls were plump and round, the size of eggs, and neatly arranged in rows, exuding an indescribable strange beauty.

Xu Sansan stood up and took a closer look. Not only were there "pearls" on the thick leaves, but there were also several jagged teeth marks...

What the hell is this if not insect eggs?!
