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

The refugee camp shown on the map did not cover a large area, but when he actually walked around, Xu Sansan realized how stupid and naive he was.

The refugee camp is divided into 9 areas, each with barracks 001-009, so there are a total of 81 barracks here.

Each barracks covers an area of ​​at least 1000 square meters, so if you want to visit the entire refugee camp, it would take at least 3-5 hours.

Xu Sansan tiptoed to Area 5, walked stealthily, secretly observed his surroundings, and occasionally peeked through the crack in the door to see what was happening inside the barracks.

It was strange that she rarely saw refugees walking around on the way from District 8 to District 5.

The barracks in Area 8 were almost filled with skinny old people, while there were almost no people in the barracks in Areas 5-7. Occasionally there were a few people staying inside, either sleeping or keeping watch on the surroundings, looking very alert.

Perhaps because he had not yet fully adapted to his new identity, Xu Sansan subconsciously still felt that he was an outsider.

So... I just... I don’t really want to be discovered by others.

When she sneaked to the side door of a barracks in Area 5, just bent down, stuck out her butt, and looked inside with half-squinted eyes, suddenly, she was met with a pair of fierce eyes.

Those are a pair of eyes belonging to a man!

When the man noticed the sight outside the door, he quickly protected the bag behind him with one hand and picked up the stone at his feet with the other hand, as if he was going to attack the door in the next second.

Finished!

Xu Sansan's body started to stiffen. He was frightened by the sudden eye contact. He retracted his neck without hesitation, dodged and hid at the corner behind the outer wall. His right hand quickly reached for the scalpel at his waist, ready for a head-on confrontation.

Although Xu Sansan's body movements were fierce and decisive, he kept repeating in his mind:

"Don't be discovered, don't be discovered..."

But things don't always go as planned. The less you think about something, the more it will come to you.

"What are you doing? Sneaking around!"

A guard team member wearing a blue training uniform happened to pass by behind Xu Sansan. Seeing that she was hiding and didn't look like a good person, he decisively called her.

Oops! How unlucky!

Xu Sansan secretly thought that he had started off badly.

So he turned around awkwardly, put on a smile uglier than a ghost, and explained:

"No, no, I sprained my ankle, so when I walk, it's a little bit..."

The guard in front of her seemed to just want to threaten her and had no real intention of doing anything to her.

He glanced at Xu Sansan from head to toe, then waved his hand to send him away:

"You are so full that you have nothing better to do. You have already moved to a refugee camp, but you still have time to hang around outside. You don't know how to save your energy..."

Xu Sansan gave herself a full score for her on-the-spot reaction, but her trembling legs still betrayed her panic at the moment.

After the guards left and confirmed that the man in the barracks did not chase out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that I was careless and too vulgar, which instead aroused vigilance and suspicion.

Don't make eye contact with strangers!

Xu Sansan quickly summed up his experience, adjusted his strategy, and decided to temporarily put an end to today's exploration of the refugee camp.

In order to maintain his newly established character, he had no choice but to limp towards the south gate of the base.

The sun was very strong after 9 o'clock, and her forehead was wet with sweat before she had walked far.

Is this the climate in this world during the hot season?

I looked at the instructions on the bracelet.

It's over 35 degrees now. If it keeps getting this hot, won't it be as hot as the sky at noon?!

Xu Sansan looked at the sun above his head with some anxiety, and then looked into the distance along the direction of the sunlight.

About a few hundred meters away, a metal wall with a cold glow stood in front of them. Above the wall, there was a layer of faint white light shield that enveloped the entire world inside the wall.

So this is the base city!

Looking at the huge monster in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart:

The city is so big that it can’t be cooked in one pot…

cough cough...

The white light shield above reflects colorful colors under the sunlight, forming a huge contrast with the dark gray metal wall on the ground.

The light shield emitted a faint glow in all directions. The further outward one went, the lighter the white light became, until it completely disappeared 3 kilometers outside the base.

It seems that this light shield is the protective shield on which the base depends for its survival.

I came to a conclusion silently in my heart.

Because he didn't plan to do any further environmental exploration, Xu Sansan chose the shortest route and soon arrived at the south gate of the base.

The South Gate is very large and can accommodate about 4-5 trucks at the same time.

At the city gate, a few military trucks would occasionally come in and out. Their thick metal armor layer looked very durable.

Xu Sansan put away his envious look and looked at the road beside the city gate.

There are some very simple and primitive tools mixed in on the side roads, such as open-top tricycles and the handcarts that I am particularly familiar with...

There were no armed guards standing guard at the city gate as Xu Sansan had expected. There were not many pedestrians coming and going, just two or three. Few people went out of the city gate, and even fewer went in.

But most of the pedestrians entering the city come from the same direction - the shantytowns.

Some of them wore cool cloaks to hide themselves tightly, while others wore huge woven straw hats and wrapped themselves tightly with headscarves, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

There were very few people like me who were dressed in rags, had nothing on their bodies, and were almost unarmed.

After observing at the city gate for a few minutes, Xu Sansan imitated them and waved his right hand when entering the city gate. With a beep, a mechanical sound came from the bracelet:

"Entry is allowed!"

It seems that as long as you have a light computer, you can enter and exit this base city freely.

Xu Sansan expressed his delight at the discovery, then hurriedly followed a passerby in front of him and quickly entered the base city.

According to the information on the map, the area next to the South Gate should be Zone Z of the Outer City.

The specific scope of Zone Z is currently unknown, but based on what he saw before him, Xu Sansan felt that he had finally returned to a familiar place.

Unlike the barracks in the refugee camp outside the city, everything here made her feel extremely familiar.

Close to the city wall are rows of low-rise buildings built with cement bricks. The tallest is no more than 6 stories high and the shortest is only 2 stories high.

Next to the building complex is a small street. Although it is not as wide as the main street leading directly to the South City Gate, it has no problem with traffic.

On the other side of the street is a similar group of low-rise buildings, which should be built parallel to the city wall and in a complete circle around the base.

Some of the buildings have signs on them, while others are bare.

For those with signs, there is usually a half-open storefront on the first floor, which I guess is a shop used for business.

Isn't this a typical small town?

Xu Sansan was a little excited and felt that his future suddenly became bright!

I completely forgot that I would be forced to move out of the base today because I couldn't pay the rent.

It has to be said that the traffic planning in the city is very convenient. Every few buildings, there will be a road perpendicular to the street leading to the center of the base.

The closer you look to the center of the base, the taller the buildings become, and the more futuristic the building materials seem.

The radius of the base is very large. Xu Sansan stood on tiptoe, trying hard to see the center of the base clearly.

But she always felt that the buildings in the distance were not real enough. The further she looked inside, the less clear they were, as if a layer of mist was deliberately blocking her sight.

Fortunately, she didn't want to explore too much, and her life was at stake now.

Since you have just arrived, it is better to stay calm.

Firmly adhering to the principle of "the less you know, the longer you live", she strolled along the side street for a while before heading straight to her rental house, 7-4566, Zone Z.

Following the instructions on the map, we arrived at a 6-story concrete building.

The appearance of this building is very low-key. There is nothing except the main door in the middle and a few small windows on each floor.

The door didn't seem to be locked. Xu Sansan felt lucky and walked forward, raising his right hand and waving it casually in the air.

With a click, the door opened.

When she walked in, what came into view was the stairwell and corridor. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor. Fortunately, the room numbers were marked on the doors. She quickly followed the pattern of the room numbers and came to the 4th floor. She found 7-4566 at the end of the corridor.

Before the door was opened, a strong sour smell hit my nose.

Well, it's right in front of the public toilet.

Although it smells bad, it is really convenient...

Xu Sansan followed suit and used his bracelet to open the door of room 7-4566.

This is a cubicle of less than 10 square meters. The small window of the room is closed. The smell of dust in the room soon mixes with the fermentation smell outside the door.

"ruan!"

An indescribable feeling of discomfort made her dry heave a few times.

He quickly closed the door and opened the small window, then he recovered a little and looked around the furnishings in the room.

Well... actually there is nothing to display -

The only large item in the room was a single folding bed facing the window.

There was a tattered mat on the folding bed, and on the mat was a blanket that had been washed so much that it looked bleached.

There were some miscellaneous items piled under the bed.

In the corner diagonally opposite the folding bed, there was a badly discolored and rough-edged plastic bucket. On the bucket was a plastic washbasin that had also been used for a long time. In the washbasin was a metal lunch box with many dents and two empty plastic bottles.

Excluding the patched cloth bag hanging behind the door, this should be all the original owner's belongings.

Although they were not completely destitute, they were definitely poor.

Hey!

After a sigh, he walked to the small bed, squatted down, pulled out the debris under the bed and started to check.

Among the miscellaneous items, Xu Sansan found 5 large metal plates, 6 metal pipes, and several relatively tough plastic sheets.

It seems that the original owner has already prepared to move out and set up a tent outside.

In addition, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a cart more than 1 meter long hidden under the bed!

The cart is not big and the wheels are also small, with a diameter of less than 10 cm.

Although this cart is just a thick metal plate with four wheels, it has no problem being usable after being tied with a hemp rope!

I didn’t expect that the original owner was a car owner!

Xu Sansan was somewhat overjoyed. He pulled the cart back and forth several times in the small room. Only after he expressed his satisfaction did he stop this exciting "test ride".

Fortunately, there is a water room next to the stairwell on each floor, which provides drinkable water and domestic water.

She took an empty plastic bottle, filled it with water, and gulped down most of it.

He cleared his throat, finally finding his voice again.

Because there were no washable clothes in the original owner's room.

Xu Sansan picked up a plastic bucket, filled it with water, and took out a rough small towel from the large cloth bag behind the door. He washed himself from head to toe, scrubbed the clothes he had taken off, and hung them out to dry under the window before noon.

After a busy period, he finally wrapped himself in a small blanket and fell headfirst onto the folding bed.

Well, the straw mat is a bit prickly, but it’s soft…

The alarm on the bracelet woke up the person in bed at 4:30 pm.

The clothes drying under the window had already dried and were still slightly warm.

Xu Sansan changed his clothes and started packing.

In fact, there is nothing to deal with.

Put the metal plate on the car, put the plastic basin under the plastic bucket, insert the metal pipe into the bucket, fold the small blanket and roll it up in the grass, wrap it with plastic cloth and stuff it into the bucket, then fold the folding bed, put it on the metal plate, hang a cloth bag on the body, and you can move it away.

The total time taken was less than 10 minutes.

Just as she was excitedly pulling the cart out of room 7-4566, she suddenly received a "beep beep" warning from her bracelet:

"warn!

Tenants do not have the right to move their beds out of the room!

Please return it within 30 seconds!

29…28…27…”

I rely on!

This folding bed actually belongs to the landlord? !
