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

16:30:00,

Xu Sansan met Qin Ergou successfully outside the public toilet.

After receiving 15 kilograms of slightly contaminated lotus roots, Qin Ergou looked at the three dried insect eggs he had unexpectedly obtained in his hands with tears in his eyes, and was very excited.

These three dried insect eggs were suggested by Xu Sansan, who thought that if Qin Ergou was willing to deliver goods outside the base city in the future, then at certain critical moments, she might be able to order takeout directly at home.

Of course, Xie Yuan also deeply agreed with this.

So after Qin Ergou walked away with his broken cart in a joyful pace,

Xie Yuan ran back and forth six times before he finally brought the things he bought back to the house.

While the majority of the group had gone out to scavenge and had not yet returned home, the two began to expand and renovate the house.

One hour later, the small house was upgraded into a large house covering an area of ​​1 square meters, which was divided into two small houses of 20 square meters in front and back.

The front room served as a living room and bedroom, and was furnished with similar furnishings as it is now, straw mats for two people, plastic buckets and basins, a stove, a kettle, and the like;

The back room is used as a material processing and storage room. The newly purchased air-drying vacuum machine is placed inside, occupying about 2 square meters. The rest of the space is used to store the materials that Xu Sansan has accumulated during this period.

The fresh air circulation equipment and solar panels are placed on the roof, but the power storage device and shadowless transmission panel need to be placed inside the house.

However, neither of these two items takes up much space, so they are placed together in the storage room in the back house.

As a result, although the house became more spacious, the area of ​​the yard was only 5-6 square meters. Fortunately, apart from a plastic shed for washing and a fire for boiling water, the yard had no other use, so it didn't matter if it was a little smaller.

Xu Sansan turned on the light, and a long-lost sense of familiarity suddenly hit him.

Oh my~ She is finally someone who can use electricity in the apocalypse!

Although the feeling of electricity is wonderful, she does feel the price is painful:

“Why is this fresh air circulation equipment and air drying vacuum machine so expensive, much more expensive than the heat sink?”

Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Because most people in the shantytowns don't need these two things, they are targeted at people with relatively good financial resources."

Xu Sansan immediately perked up when he heard this, feeling very pleased with himself:

"So, we are now a well-off family!"

Xie Yuan's eyebrows curved, and the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc. He nodded to show his affirmation.

We...have a small fortune... a fortune... a fortune...

Xie Yuan was lost in his own endless reverie when he saw Xu Sansan blinking his eyes and taking out six pollution-free, high-purity salt crystals from his cloth bag with great care:

"Hey! Why didn't you tell me yesterday that this pollution-free, high-purity salt crystal is a rare treasure!"

Xie Yuan opened his mouth wide immediately, breaking out of his reverie, and looked at the six salt crystals in her hand in disbelief:

"You, you, you said, these are all high-purity, high-purity salt crystals?!"

Xu Sansan nodded in confusion:

"It was measured by Lao Qin's machine."

Xie Yuan took a deep breath. Although he was used to her giving out big treasures every time, but, but this:

"High-purity salt crystals can instantly restore a person's physical strength during combat. The lower the pollution level, the stronger the recovery effect. In the past few decades, only Base 903 has obtained a piece of uncontaminated salt crystals..."

After that, he pointed at the six not-so-small crystals with trembling hands and asked:

"All...all?"

Xu Sansan nodded heavily.

That's it!

Lao Qin is such a dishonest businessman. He even lied to me and told me what kind of cooking seasoning it was!

Luckily, I was smart and didn’t fall for it!

Under Xie Yuan's dazed gaze, she took out nine more salt crystals from her cloth bag:

"I sold three to Lao Qin, so there are nine left, but they are slightly contaminated..."

Xie Yuan: ...What kind of incredible luck is this...

Fortunately, Lao Qin kept the price low enough, otherwise if those people noticed it, San San... I'm afraid it would be dangerous...

After resting at home for two days, Xu Sansan was not idle. He placed the large white board dug out from City No. 204 in front of the westernmost wall of the front room. Then, holding the two button-shaped magnets in his hand, he threw them at the target that Xie Yuan had circled with a reed on the white board in advance.

"Snapped!"

Still no success...

Her hit rate from 5 meters away is now 0...

Oh, but it doesn’t matter, this is just the beginning of practice...

Xie Yuan said that if you want to have a high enough hit rate, you must first train your eyesight... and then the stability of your arms...

…………

Star calendar year 336, hot season day 90, 09:00:00,

Xu Sansan boarded the spaceship bound for Wasteland City No. 407.

20 minutes later, a familiar broadcast came:

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

Looking at the piles of concrete debris and the steel bars intertwined in the air, Xu Sansan realized again:

Damn! How come I forgot to bring my backpack again!

So I quickly contacted Taozi, but unfortunately, Taozi went to the wasteland today and did not choose the city.

Oh, well, it seems that I am destined to be a "lone hero" today.

While Xu Sansan was humming: "I love you walking alone in the dark alley, I love you for not kneeling, I love you for facing despair and refusing to cry..."

Xie Yuan took out the note that Xu Sansan brought back from Lao Qin the day before yesterday, frowned, and was puzzled:

Is Wu Feng the new captain of the Dawn Guard?

Scar was not elected...

So, there is indeed something wrong with Ji Feng, but why was Wu Feng sent here?

Are they people who want to gather the dawn and serve their own purposes?

Or, to find out something deeper into the dawn?

But what is there about the Dawn Guard that is worth finding out?

……

At the same time, in a room in the inner city of the base, a pair of large hands stroked a glass of simulated beer, speaking in a dignified manner:

"The last report was of no value. Is the new captain not doing his job well enough?"

........................

12:15:38 p.m.

Xu Sansan worked hard for the whole morning, and looking at the ruins she had dug out, she couldn't help but doubt her life:

How come the city has started talking about metaphysics?

Otherwise, why didn’t I dig anything this morning?

She stopped helplessly, drank some water from the plastic bottle, and then glanced around furtively.

Well, no one.

So I quickly took out a tube of nutrient solution and drank it in one gulp.

He wiped the sweat from his head, wrapped the towel around his neck again, picked up the hoe, and prepared to fight again in another place.

As Xu Sansan walked, he thought about his failed experience today.

Otherwise, should I also take advantage of other people's traffic?

Follow the lucky ones who have already dug out treasures and see if you can also benefit from the material layer?

Hmm! That makes sense!

After giving a self-affirmation with a fist bump, he headed in the direction where the main force had gone that morning.

Half an hour later, she finally saw a group of scavengers.

Among them, there were a few people who stopped digging from time to time, then stood up and looked around stealthily. After a while, they all gathered around a young man.

I saw that the young man's backpack was already full of things.

Apparently, he was the first one among the group to dig up the supply layer!

It's him!

Xu Sansan locked onto his target and also looked around. Then he tiptoed and pretended to have discovered something by accident. He gradually approached the young man and finally stopped about 100 meters away from him. He picked up his hoe and started digging.

It has to be said that the material layer agglomeration effect is indeed a very effective theory, which must have been verified by scavengers through hundreds of years of practice.

Not long after Xu Sansan started working, he dug up something, a small, shiny dot that was particularly dazzling in the sun.

She hurried forward, drew her dagger, and carefully dug into the rubble.

Now she has finally learned her lesson. She no longer dares to dig the crystal lamp like she did last time, where she dug a big hole with her hoe and lost dozens of contribution points.

Of course, the dozens of contribution points were also a random estimate made by Xu Sansan.

But these are not important at this time.

What’s important is that she actually dug out a lot of small glass balls.

The glass ball is about one centimeter in diameter. There are colorful patterns inside the transparent body. The patterns are like ribbons in the center of the glass ball, bending and stretching very elegantly.

The patterns come in many colors, including yellow, blue, green, red, white, etc.

The glass balls were neatly packed in a large square iron box with obvious dents and scratches on the lid.

The lid was not on the box, but was mercilessly flipped aside by gravity. However, the words printed on it were still faintly visible:

Assorted Cookies

This is a tin box that was once used to hold assorted cookies!

There is a whole box of small glass beads in the iron box!

Suddenly, a strong sense of age swept over:

Oh my god! Isn't this the marbles that were very popular in the 80s in the previous life? !

Xu Sansan touched the concave part of the lid of the box, and when it was almost flat, he closed the lid directly. He quickly tied a few knots around the box with a hemp rope to make it look like a small basket, and slung it across his body before continuing to dig around.

Half an hour later, Xu Sansan raised his arms and swung his hoe. Suddenly, he heard a "Duang!"

The shock made her ears hurt, and at the same time she was startled:

What? What's that sound?

This caused the nearby scavengers to stop what they were doing, pick up their weapons and backpacks, and look in her direction with great vigilance.

Xu Sansan touched his nose, laughed dryly, and then hurried forward to check in a dejected manner.

What on earth was dug up here?

After scraping away the rubble, she soon found a gong covered in copper rust in her hand.

The red tassel that should have been tied on the top of the gong has long been rotten due to weathering, and only a few remaining reddish fibers can vaguely reveal its former appearance.

Xu Sansan strung the gong with a hemp rope and hung it directly in front of his chest, then quickly squatted down and continued to search.

Because she vaguely saw something metallic.

Five minutes later, a suona that was in good condition was dug out and held in the hands.

The suona's body should be made of acrylic and is relatively well preserved.

The horn is probably made of some kind of stable alloy material, as there isn't much rust on it.

A suona and a gong, the equipment is quite complete, he can really make his debut right away!

Then hang a banner with the words: Specially for weddings and funerals...

Set up a stall and open it directly...

Anyway, after traveling through time, I haven't heard of any pursuit of music here. This suona can be played at a glance.

As for what tune you can play, you don't need to worry too much about it.

It’s the end of the world anyway, so what’s the point?

Xu Sansan was immediately lost in his own fantasy when suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed:

"The blood-sucking mosquitoes are coming! Run!"

Immediately afterwards, a buzzing sound came from his ears. Xu Sansan was about to come back to his senses when he saw a long mouthpart piercing his heart!
