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

At 19:45 in the evening, the sun had completely set, and Xu Sansan and Xie Yuan had finally finished sorting the corn cobs. There were 799 corn kernels in total. The corn kernels have sufficient starch content. Each person eats 1-2 per meal, which is enough to replenish the body's needs for carbohydrates. Add a sausage or an insect egg, and it's perfect!

However, it seemed that there was a lack of cellulose, and Xu Sansan's occupational disease started again. As long as the living environment improved slightly, she would unconsciously want to raise her requirements in all aspects.

For example, just now, she actually asked if there were any home air-drying vacuum machines for sale?

Xie Yuan, who was drinking water, choked:

"Ahem, ahem, ahem ~ Lao Qin's shop has a small air dryer, but that thing uses electricity, at home..."

He looked at the dark little room and continued:

"We don't have the conditions right now..."

Xu Sansan:……!

Yes, how come she is in the end of the world? Her daily routine is so healthy, and she is ready to go to bed around 9 o'clock in the evening. It turns out that there is no electricity!

"But if there is no electricity, how do the radiators and ventilation devices on the metal walls work?"

Xie Yuan seemed to have known that she would have this question, so he explained briefly: "Heatsinks and ventilation devices are usually installed outdoors. They all have their own heat or wind energy converters, but the power is very small, only enough for them to operate themselves."

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Sansan's thoughts returned to the problem of no electricity: "Then, how can we get electricity? Do we need to ask a technician to lay cables and install an electric meter?"

Xie Yuan: "...only the inner city of the base can lay cables...slum areas can only install solar panels and batteries at most..."

Xu Sansan was a little embarrassed as she accidentally let it slip again, but fortunately Xie Yuan didn't delve into it.

"By the way, I have modified half of the tracker. Do you want to try it out now?"

In the darkness, Xu Sansan's eyes lit up and he immediately sat up, turned on the optical computer, called up the external module, and started connecting.

With a "ding" sound, the connection was successful.

"Today we have only modified the functional components for sending and receiving messages, so voice calls are not possible yet." Xie Yuan explained softly.

Xu Sansan quickly edited a message, still very happy:

“It’s also great to have text messages!”

Then, a screen popped up on Xie Yuan's "little button" locator, showing:

"Xiao Du, Xiao Du!"

Xie Yuan: ...Who is Xiao Du?

Soon, a message popped up on Xu Sansan's laptop:

"Roger that!"

Well, although it is not the imaginary “I am here!”, this little device has obviously been modified successfully and can be used!

Xie Yuan: "When you go out to scavenge tomorrow, remember to test it again."

Xu Sansan nodded in agreement.

Then came Xie Yuan's cold voice:

"Since we have to get up early tomorrow, let's only train for one hour tonight!"

Xu Sansan: ...What, we have to train at night too?

Xie Yuan seemed to see through Xu Sansan's thoughts, and then added:

"Or you can change it to training for an hour every morning..."

Xu Sansan, a patient with late stage of early stage difficulty, jumped up:

"Practice at night, practice at night!"

An hour later, as she gasped and groaned, the base's official announcement popped up on her computer. It was already 1:21:

Since the cornfield is so vast... tomorrow's special task is still corn collection...

Wilderness No. 17

Boarding time: 6:00am

Boarding location: 2 km outside the east, west, south and north city gates

……

Xu Sansan was still upset about the confiscated corn cobs, so he waved his hand:

"I've decided. I'll continue to go to Wilderness No. 17 tomorrow!"

At the same time, in the Dawn Guards' information room in the base's inner city guard station,

Under the dim light, Scar was sitting in front of a table piled with historical archives, flipping through the documents in his hands.

Outside the door, Qiangzi walked from the end of the corridor, passed by the data room, saw light coming from under the door, frowned, turned the handle, pushed the door open to check:

"Hey! Isn't this our Shao Yibo, Deputy Captain Shao?! It's so late, and he's still working overtime! He really cares about our Dawn Guard!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "deputy" in Deputy Captain Shao's name, and the meaning was obvious - the position of captain will never belong to you.

Scar's expression remained unchanged, and he was obviously familiar with such sarcasm:

"What's the matter with you?"

Qiangzi saw that his sarcasm had no effect, so he spat:

"It's okay. What can I do? I just saw the lights on in the data room in the middle of the night. I'm afraid there are rats or bad guys taking advantage of the fact that our Dawn Guard is leaderless and doing something shameful!"

Scar looked calm and tilted his head:

"Now? You can leave now,"

"Oh, remember to close the door."

With a loud bang, the door of the data room was slammed shut.

Scar looked at the shaking door and clenched his fist on the table.

Turning to the page of the mission record he had just read, his eyes became increasingly gloomy, and his gaze became obscure and unclear...

Inside the hut, in the dark room, Xie Yuan was lying on a straw mat, his face still a little bruised and red, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

That day, Xu Sansan came back from Lao Qin and brought him a new note, which read: "Dead."

It seems that the process of the guard post is proceeding very quickly. Now that he has "died", the position of captain is likely to become the new target of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Will Scar be the new captain?

Why on earth would they attack the Dawn Guard...

……

星历336年，炎季75日，05:30:00

The optical computer woke up not only Xu Sansan, but also the residents of the entire shantytown.

Oh no, there is also their bladders, because there was a long queue at the entrance of the public toilet!

Is this the magic of corn?!

By the time Xu Sansan arrived at the assembly point, pulling a small cart and carrying a small hoe, there was already a long queue and a huge crowd of people.

"Wow! The team is so large. Are there so many people living near the South City Gate?!"

Xu Sansan, who was standing at the end of the line, was a little worried. Can everyone here really get on the spacecraft smoothly?

At this time, a member of the Xuanwu Guard wearing a purple combat uniform walked past Xu Sansan, and then quickly retreated:

"Sister Banche! So you are here! Come on! Follow me!"

Xu Sansan's sleeve was suddenly grabbed by the tall and strong man in front of him:

"Hey! Wait a minute! I'm not some cart girl, you got the wrong person!"

Xu Sansan struggled, still unaware of his own nickname in the underworld.

When the Xuanwu team members who were over 190cm tall heard this, they realized they had recognized the wrong person. They immediately turned around, stared at Xu Sansan and her cart, and then muttered:

“I didn’t admit my mistake…”

Then he took out a small instrument from his pocket and scanned it on Xu Sansan's computer. He saw the storage record of the guard cabin yesterday, and then he pulled Xu Sansan up again and walked into the crowd:

"It's you! Sister Banche! What's shown in the record is true! Our captain said... today..."

Because the second half of the sentence was directed at the front, and Xu Sansan was dragged to the back. She was short, and the crowd around her was very noisy, so she had no idea what the young man said later, until -

She stood in front of the hatch of the spacecraft, and after a "beep" and the familiar pallet inspection process, she boarded the spacecraft very smoothly in advance and met Gao Xuan, the captain of the 5th team. She only heard her say:

"After you get off the spaceship today, you will follow me first."

Xu Sansan: ??? What’s going on?
