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

Xu Sansan returned to the cabin and while unloading the folding metal door, car panels and dried insect eggs from the dilapidated toilet cleaning vehicle, he recounted his experience of the day in a moving manner.

"So the person you ended up looking for was Qin Ergou?"

Xu Sansan nodded:

"The main thing is that Qiangzi and the others may not remember me. Also, didn't you say that the four of them might go to the bathroom at that time... Besides, it's better for you not to expose too much now..."

Xie Yuan had actually prepared to fake his death in front of Qiangzi and the other three, but he didn't expect... This is fine, this is fine...

He also nodded and affirmed Xu Sansan:

"Well done, Ergou and you... well... you are indeed quite deceptive..."

"It's just your cart. How come there is only one board left?"

Xu Sansan was also embarrassed:

"Ergou took the wheels off, saying they were useful and could be used as a deposit for this street sweeper... I don't know where he got this vehicle from, but it's really cool..."

Xie Yuan looked at the dilapidated street sweeper in the house:

"It's probably recycled by the store..."

So after lunch, the two of them installed the metal door, but this way there was no sunlight at all in the house.

Xu Sansan felt that he had miscalculated:

“I think we still need electricity.”

Xie Yuan also felt that leaving the door open to let in light was not a long-term solution:

"But then I need to buy a solar panel and a power storage device..."

Xu Sansan calculated the contribution points he had left. He had spent 280 today, and only had 113 points left, which was obviously not enough:

"Can I sell a nuclear crystal?"

Xie Yuan thought for a moment:

"The two devices together cost at least 1000 contribution points. The expensive part is the power storage device. A good power storage device can maintain basic lighting for a room for nearly 30 days..."

Xu Sansan was somewhat puzzled:

"The sun is shining every day, so there's no need to buy such a good power storage device, right?"

Xie Yuan shook his head:

"In the windy season, you may not see the sun, and in the snowy season, there is even less sunlight..."

Xu Sansan was shocked. Doesn't that mean that there will be nearly 150 days without sunlight in the future?

Xie Yuan continued to explain: "Not being able to see the sun does not mean it is dark, it just means the sky is not very clear, but there is still light, it's just that there is not enough solar energy to generate electricity.

For example, most people's optical computers are solar-powered.

During the windy and snowy seasons, in order to prevent the optical computer from shutting down due to lack of energy, everyone will try to reduce high-consumption functions such as lighting, positioning or voice.

But this does not mean that it will shut down completely, because it can still capture some solar energy in the air, just not much..."

Xu Sansan felt that he had learned something new, and came to the conclusion that this solar power generation kit was very necessary, and it must be equipped with multiple advanced batteries!

Xie Yuan looked at Xu Sansan's resolute expression and felt that she was in trouble. He quickly interrupted her unrealistic thoughts and tried to persuade her rationally:

"There is no need to buy so many batteries at once. Buy one first and use it later. If you really need it, you can buy it five days before the end of the hot season. It will be in time."

After finally reaching an agreement, the two decided that before purchasing solar panels and power storage devices, they would continue to hang plastic sheets during the day to ensure the light transmittance of the house, and then install the metal door after the sun goes down.

So in the afternoon, Xu Sansan passively started her devilish training again. Soon, this long day was spent in Xu Sansan's sweat.

That evening, just after midnight, Niu Juanhua and two other people from next door, carrying stools, sneaked out of the house and once again came to the wicker fence of Xu Sansan's house.

Niu Juanhua said in a breathy voice:

"I'm here to explore the way today. You two wait outside for my signal."

……

When Niu Juanhua stepped on the stool and successfully climbed over the wicker fence, she let out a wail of "Ouch!" and then "thumped" with a muffled groan, and fell flat on her face in the yard.

"Didn't they say there was nothing in the yard?!"

Niu Juanhua was lying on the ground, with the toes of her two feet resting on a half-meter-high corn cob, complaining in pain.

The two people hiding at the door had no idea what had just happened. They thought Niu Juanhua had been discovered. Suddenly, they thought of the bad feeling they had when they woke up in the public toilet this morning. They looked at each other, and in tacit agreement, they took the stool and ran home...

Niu Juanhua took a long time to calm down in the yard before she was able to stand up. Then she limped towards the cabin.

However, she circled the hut again and again, but could not find any trace of the plastic sheet...

"damn it!"

He cursed inwardly and had to climb over the fence by stepping on the corn cobs.

However, the expected stool disappeared out of thin air, and Niu Juanhua fell backwards again...

The 10-day training was painful, but also very effective. Xu Sansan clearly felt that his reaction, speed and endurance had greatly improved.

Xu Sansan looked at Xie Yuan's face, which had completely lost its redness and swelling, but still had some bruises, and suddenly spoke:

"Tell me, can I get a gun on the black market?"

Xie Yuan raised his head:

"What kind of gun?"

Xu Sansan: ...Are guns also divided into different types?

Well, there are indeed different types of guns.

Seeing Xu Sansan's constipated face and unable to explain the reason, Xie Yuan patiently explained:

"During the scavenging missions at the base, ordinary scavengers are prohibited from carrying firearms."

"What about non-ordinary scavengers?"

Xu Sansan grasped the key words.

"Non-ordinary scavengers generally do not participate in the base's scavenging missions..."

Xu Sansan choked:

"So what are they participating in?"

"They are usually private soldiers or retainers of wealthy people, and they usually act alone."

Xu Sansan rolled his eyes:

"That means I can't use heavy firepower weapons anymore."

Xie Yuan didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so he analyzed it carefully:

“Heavy firepower weapons are controlled weapons. Each heavy firepower weapon is equipped with a locator. Anyone who hides it privately will be directly sent to the exile area once discovered.

Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to have access to channels unless they know some arms dealers who specialize in smuggling.

Secondly, these smuggled heavy firepower weapons are very expensive and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

Finally, and this is also a crucial point, the use of heavy firepower weapons requires extremely high accuracy, which requires long-term practice to achieve. If the accuracy is not enough and you can't kill with one shot, it's better to use a machete, which is more economical..."

“Since they are all equipped with locators, how can they be smuggled?”

She's clearly very good at finding loopholes.

Xie Yuan sighed softly and said in a very disdainful tone:

"Because they smuggled heavy firepower weapons manufactured in other base cities..."

Xu Sansan was stunned. So, in the end times, there is more than one base city? !

At the same time, the members of the Dawn Guard, who had just completed a joint mission with the Wind Guard, returned to the base with angry faces.

Inside the guard post, Qiangzi and three other men endured the pain in their bodies while applying medicine to themselves.

That’s right, in this mission, the Wind Guard continued to target the Dawn Guard, and among the dozen or so people injured this time, there happened to be four of Qiangzi.

"Damn it, these scumbags of Jifeng, I'll punish them next time!"

Tiechui was about to apply repair potion on the wound while cursing.

At this time, the four people's light brains simultaneously received the message from the guard post:

Injured members of the Dawn Guard, please come to the conference room immediately for examination and treatment.

"Hey! Fortunately, I didn't use the potion quickly enough!" Tiechui felt that he had made a profit.

Qiangzi also smiled and added: "The guards have finally begun to show mercy and take care of the wounded."

……

Soon, a detailed report recording the blood test results of the wounded of the Dawn Guard was sent from the medical staff's optical computer to the inner city of the base...
