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

At 08:04:28 in the morning, the middle-aged man of medium build, about meters tall, with a hunched back, stood beside the crematorium that had gradually stopped working. He looked at the statistical data of the detector in his hand, frowned, and muttered to himself:

"That's not right. Normally, there was a survivor this morning, so the total should be one less than the number counted last night. How come there is one more now?!"

He pursed his lips, quickly reviewed the possible mistakes, and walked back slowly, pushing the cart from Area 9 as usual.

As he unconsciously walked back to the door of barrack 9-004, he suddenly had an idea:

"Damn it! It's this damn barracks again! 30 days ago in the morning, we found out that one person was undercounted, and today one person was overcounted again! This is really weird!"

After venting his anger, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Before there was one less person, and now there is one more person, so the total number for this summer season will be exactly the same, right?!"

It seems that when writing the end-of-season summary report, there is no need to bother looking for excuses...

He nodded in self-affirmation, feeling relieved, and the middle-aged man's casual steps became a little lighter.

At the same time, back in the underground third floor of the black market, Lao Jiu, who was in the small room next to the elevator entrance, handed the miniature tracker in his hand, which was made of hair and tied with a special knot, to the man in the rocking chair.

The man looked at the hair with a sinister look in his eyes:

"I didn't expect it to be the Brotherhood of East Gate! Great! They dare to set a trap for our Golden Triangle!

Not only did they lose some of our people, but they also stole the storage box containing the water core crystals!

Damn it! Call a meeting of everyone! I want them to pay with blood!"

The fat woman behind the cat's eye turned the gold ring on her finger, immediately received the order, and quickly transmitted the message on the optical computer...

Inside the fence, Xu Sansan pointed at the truck's "engine" and "shell" on the ground, with an expression that I had learned again:

"So this is actually a power converter? And these car shells are actually solar panels?"

Are all the cars in the end times so advanced? !

Xie Yuan nodded, and seemed to be very familiar with the field of mechanics. He began to explain incessantly:

"Basically, all spaceships, trucks, excavators and other vehicles have solar panels on their surfaces. In the hot season, they use solar energy, but in other seasons, in addition to using the solar energy stored in advance, they can only rely on nuclear crystals to maintain energy when necessary..."

Xu Sansan’s eyes widened. Isn’t this a typical hybrid of oil and electricity?

incredible!

But what about coal, oil and natural gas?

Could it be that in the end times, these major resources have been exhausted?

Then I thought again, that's not right:

"Didn't you say that the lady next door still owes Maozi brother fuel money? This truck is solar-powered, and it still needs fuel money?"

Xie Yuan sighed and spread his hands:

"I guess he was blackmailed by Maozi. All I can say is that evildoers will be punished by evildoers..."

In any case, now that the two villains had already been killed, Xu Sansan nodded without any guilt and started his "public toilet - wash up - eat" routine early in the morning.

What a joke! It’s the end of the world!

Now that they have bullied me, of course I must act decisively and eradicate the root of the problem!

Next door, Niu Juanhua's husband and Hu Zi, who had been waiting at home all night, were walking back and forth anxiously.

"Hey! It's been a whole night! Why haven't you come home yet?!"

"Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer! Maybe he's discussing the distribution of supplies with Maozi brother right now!"

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

At noon, Xu Sansan received a message from Hu Ba:

Urgent mission, meet at the garbage dump entrance at 13:00:00.

Xu Sansan chewed the sizzling ham in his mouth, swallowed it quickly, and frowned slightly:

There was no advance notice last night, so how come an urgent task suddenly popped up?

But she didn't worry too much about it. After all, she was not very familiar with the operating mechanism of the private army team.

only……

The flatbed truck was sent to Lao Qin for repair and upgrade. Lao Qin replied last night that it would take at least three days because the requirements were too high.

In this case, she didn't have a shield when she went on the mission this time, and she felt instantly insecure!

Xie Yuan saw Xu Sansan's worry at a glance, so he handed her a packet of pungent powder:

"This was found under the seat of a truck. I studied its composition and it should be the protective powder that leaked out of the garrison..."

Xu Sansan took the powder and said in surprise:

“It’s actually official stuff?!”

Xie Yuan nodded and gave her an encouraging and comforting look.

Xu Sansan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, dotted a large matchmaker mole on his right cheek, hung the copper gong "heart protector" on his chest, and after arming himself, he walked out with a determined look on his face.

In the private barracks, after the four members of the Quartet team received their mission objectives, they walked out of the barracks gate with hesitant steps, looking puzzled.

The location of this mission is the primitive wilderness No. 1-004, and the danger level is normal.

Dark web tasks are generally divided into seven levels based on the risk factor estimated by the system: safe, ordinary, difficult, dangerous, severe, extremely dangerous and fatal.

For the F-class teams in the demotion pool, the system only allows them to take over safe and ordinary level tasks, taking into account the team's capabilities.

Logically speaking, no matter what level of emergency mission it is, it will never be the turn of the F-class team in their demotion pool to take it.

Because emergency missions generally pay relatively high wages, the premium is mainly due to the fact that the team does not have much time to prepare, which will indirectly increase the difficulty and danger level of the mission.

But the indicator of preparation time is actually nothing for a powerful team.

In fact, those high-ranking ABC teams have always been dismissive of these so-called emergency tasks that are below the level of "dangerous".

But even so, once an emergency mission is released, it will be quickly snatched up by the D-level bosses. After all, the rewards are considerable!

But why would such a pressing and urgent mission be assigned to their quartet team that was still on the brink of disbanding?

Hu Ba shook his eight-cornered beard under his nostrils and frowned in thought.

The Marshal opened his bright eyes and stared at Hu Ba, hoping to get some solutions to his puzzlement from the captain.

Yu Ge also pursed his lips and stroked the slightly upturned beard under his right nostril with his right hand very naturally.

At this time, the little stutterer suddenly spoke:

"No... I won't... be... targeted..."

A prophecy!

Targeted indeed!

Xipi, the captain of the Demon Wolf Squad who was targeting them, was standing in front of the big sister who was in charge of deployment and management at the mission office, nodding and bowing, and thanking her repeatedly.

This lady with her hair in a bun, openly knitting at the office, is said to be the second aunt of the cousin of Mr. Sui's brother-in-law.

She casually glanced at the 1000 contribution points that had just arrived on her computer, nodded impatiently at Xipi, and then said nothing, continuing to focus on the woolen business in her hands with great dignity.

The four members of the Sifang team were kept in the dark and puzzled, but finally met Xu Sansan at the garbage dump on time at 4:13:00.

With a long and distant "squeaky" sound of the bearing rotating and rubbing, the hatch of the retired aircraft was manually pushed open, and the five people quickly entered the cabin with ease. Xu Sansan very consciously took out the plastic bench he brought from home and placed it in the narrow aisle of the cabin.

Fortunately, the plastic bench is small enough, otherwise it might not fit.

She laughed dryly and explained against her will:

"I get airsick when I sit in a chair with a backrest, but not if it's a small bench like this, haha."

Xu Sansan sat upright, his back straight, his neck stretched, his eyes fixed on the aircraft operating screen in front of the cockpit.

Hu Ba inserted the key into the keyhole just below the operating screen, then gently twisted it to the right. The operating screen immediately lit up, and a line of small words appeared:

Please enter the startup password

Hu Ba's fingers flew, tapping on the touch-screen keyboard below the screen very skillfully.

The speed was so fast that Xu Sansan was unable to accurately grasp his every movement in time.

Fortunately, this screen did not seem to have a privacy function for the password, and every number entered by Hu Ba was displayed openly on the operation screen.

Just as Xu Sansan breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly sighed:

Retired models also have their own unique benefits.

The last two digits of the password were unfortunately covered completely by the cracked "spider web" on the operating screen!

Oh shit!

Xu Sansan emptied his eyes, stood up slightly, and tried to change the angle and see clearly:

Is the second to last digit 3 or 8?

However, the retired model also has its last stubbornness. The system runs very fast, the picture flashes by, and the aircraft starts up soon...

Hey!

The smart parts are not smart, but the switching screen flashes quickly enough!

Xu Sansan was still unable to decipher the last two digits, so he rubbed his sore eyes and sighed:

Looks like I’ll have to wait until the return trip!

At this time, in the private army camp, the old lady who was knitting at the task station suddenly paused and looked at the warning prompt displayed on the task screen:

Unknown gas was detected in the original wasteland No. 1-004, and the mission level was immediately upgraded from "normal" to "dangerous"...
