My players are brushing up in the last days

Chapter 12 A heart-piercing cry is not necessarily a grievance
A man about Cheng Shaofeng's age was sitting in the shed eating beans.

Cheng Shaofeng's beans.

"Gaba~Gaba~It's so unpalatable. Gaba~"

The beans are earthy yellow with a little burnt black, and it looks like they have been stir-fried.

Seeing this, Cheng Shaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ajie, I'm back."

The young man in the shed glanced at the person who came in, put down the knife in his right hand, and looked excited.

He ran over and slapped Cheng Shaofeng on the body.

"Why are you still alive?"

"Damn! If you hadn't saved a lot of beans before, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to your possessions. I'm going to throw up after eating beans these days! Hurry up, how is the harvest this time? Let's go Change to vegetable leaves and cakes!"

The young man stopped talking and frowned slightly.

"Where's your bag?"

Cheng Shaofeng: "I encountered a predator"

The man glanced at the traces of distress on Cheng Shaofeng's body and the slight traces of radiation on his hands.

"Fuck! You are so lucky to be able to run away from those green-skinned big muscle bullies. No wonder it was 2 days later than the budgeted time. It's a pity. I have to go to the mayor's black-hearted shop to buy a bag. The money Get it out of your supplies."

"Row."

The man in front of him is Wu Jie, a scavenger.

Not only hunters will gather in groups, but scavengers will also take care of each other.

In the wasteland, helping each other is the key to human survival.

The scavenger buddies have an unspoken rule: never team up when you go out scavenging, but stay inseparable in town.

Scavengers will take all their supplies with them when they go out.

But Cheng Shaofeng and Wu Jie are special because Wu Jie is lucky.

After the death of his parents, Cheng Shaofeng actually lived a very difficult life before he partnered with Wu Jie. If it weren't for the friends of his former parents who offered a little help, he might have starved to death.

But once he partnered with Wu Jie and found that his luck changed!
Get something out of every trip.

Maybe it was luck, or maybe it was a coincidence, and the two have been working together.

Gradually, the two of them accumulated more and more belongings. And one person going out to scavenge was almost enough for two people to eat, so they took turns to go out to scavenge, and the other stayed in the town.

This is much safer.

This time it was Cheng Shaofeng who went out to pick up waste, and Wu Jie moved all his supplies into his home to guard them.

Cheng Shaofeng took an inventory of his supplies, and got a few relatively well-preserved circuit boards from them.

These are the goods he has hoarded, and he is going to exchange them for something better when the caravan from Colossus City arrives.

Colossus needs this kind of good stuff that can only be produced before the war, but there is no use in Saltwell Town.

If it is sold directly to the town, the price will be reduced by a part.

Anyway, they have enough resources to eat, so they will wait for the caravan from Colossus City to sell them at a good price.

For other scavengers, if they pick up a little, they have to sell it, otherwise they will starve to death.

'Number zero, can the things in my hand be used? 'Cheng Shaofeng asked subconsciously.

Number Zero: "Scanning"

The azure blue AR screen in front of Cheng Shaofeng's eyes was superimposed on the shed, showing the scanning progress, which was rising rapidly.

After a few seconds.

Number zero: "The scan is complete! You can extract a total of 4 electronic components from the circuit board at hand."

'it is good!That's it.'

Once the electronic components are in hand, then you only need to buy some prey from the base as biological raw materials to make clones.

'It's better for players not to die in the future, otherwise it will be troublesome enough for me to collect resources. '

The value of the materials needed to make a clone, if replaced by beans, would be enough for him to eat for more than a month.

In addition to these circuit boards, there are 28 catties of beans in his collection, 343 yuan, and all kinds of messy groceries.

The money is issued by the City of the Colossus, a shiny iron coin that can be used in a large area around the City of the Colossus.

With Cheng Shaofeng's experience over the years, he has never heard of a place where the money from the City of the Colossus is not recognized.

It may also be because he has never traveled far.

"The money should be enough to buy 3 larger prey."

Seeing Cheng Shaofeng carefully counting the supplies there, Wu Jie showed a surprised expression: "Brother Feng, you have changed, you have become a stranger."

Cheng Shaofeng was startled.

Some of my little habits are different from those of my predecessor, have they been discovered?

Yes!

Wu Jie and Cheng Shaofeng have been picking up waste for two years. The two must know each other very well. If there is another person in this body, Wu Jie must be the first to know!

Cheng Shaofeng said vigilantly: "No...well, I don't think so, maybe I'm too tired these days."

Wu Jie raised his head and looked outside the shed: "You never counted supplies in front of me when you came back."

Cheng Shaofeng: "."

Wu Jie: "You don't trust me anymore. You don't even go to your own house to order."

"That's it? Don't get me wrong. I just want to check my assets and buy something."

"Huh? I bought a bag last year and you lost it. You remember to buy the bag first."

"Uh good."

"By the way! Draw me your route this time. I'm going out to pick up waste in the afternoon. I've been numb in the town for the past few days. Take care of my supplies. Especially the silicone doll that can make noise. But my lifeblood, until I find a woman, I depend on it!"

"."

Cheng Shaofeng looked at Wu Jie who was already packing up, feeling a little embarrassed.

If it wasn't for his arrival, perhaps the two of them would still be happily picking up waste.

But...he is not the Cheng Shaofeng he was before.

"Ajie, I have to go"

Wu Jie: "Let's go? Where are you going? You look like a ghost, wash up and take a rest. I'll buy two cakes in a while, roll them up and order food. After eating, I'll set off. You came back empty-handed. According to the principle of conservation of luck, I An explosion is inevitable, and it is possible to pick up a gun, after all, it is the Red City."

Red City, the ruins of a pre-war city largely untouched by scavengers.

If you have the courage to go, it is possible to harvest a lot of supplies.

Of course, most lucky scavengers never come back in the end.

If it wasn't for his good luck since partnering with Wu Jie, Cheng Shaofeng would not have dared to go there.

"Ajie, I'm going to leave Yanjing Town for a while. I met some friends outside and want to do something together."

Wu Jie's hand shook slightly.

"You want to break up?"

"Ah."

"Scavenger, unite to live, divide to die. Have you forgotten?"

"This is the tomb robbery story we both heard from the old people in the town."

"Oh, I really want to go? There is no safer place in Four Mountains than Yanjing Town. Your future partner may not be as lucky as me. The old man said that the old man is not the strongest hunter, the most capable tailor, or the most The shrewd businessman, but the luckiest man."

"I'll call you back when the time is right."

"I hope you live to that time."

Wu Jie walked out of the shed with his lips pursed, and went to the grocery store in the town to buy cakes.

From Cheng Shaofeng's memory, Wu Jie is a very reliable partner, but now he has too many secrets, and his strength is too weak. The matter of summoning players cannot be revealed. When he is stronger, he can explain everything reasonably After that, you can give Wu Jie a hand at that time.

"If you're lucky, can you really buff others? It's a bit mysterious."

He felt that Wu Jie's so-called good luck could not exist for a long time, it was just that the two of them happened to have better luck before. It is a bit disrespectful of science to really treat it as a buff state.

The hunters hadn't come back yet, so Cheng Shaofeng took his supplies and walked around casually, disposing of the groceries on hand.

He couldn't wait here for the caravan from the City of the Colossus to arrive.

Most of the people who stayed in the town during the day were women and a few old people who were lucky in their lives.

Those who have work can do some work, and those who don't have work can get together to chat.

"Recently, we feel that our place is getting more and more shady and cool. I have been uncomfortable, and I always want to bask in the sun."

"It's like this in a place that's always backlit. It's good to be alive. Why don't you go outside and find a predator camp. They're in the open air and you can get enough sun."

"Did you hear strange noises from the mayor's house last night? I seem to hear a woman screaming."

"Haven't you heard an old saying? What is carried on your shoulders is not necessarily responsibility, what stabs you in the back is not necessarily a knife, what kneels down is not necessarily begging for mercy, and heart-piercing shouts are not necessarily grievances."

"Hey~ So that's the case. I thought it was so bad! The mayor is really in a good mood."

Cheng Shaofeng passed by with a knowing smile and went to the store.

There was only one shop in the town, which sold everything and took anything of value.

The shopkeeper is Zheng Juan, the fifth wife of the mayor. She is in her early 5s and still has a charming charm. She wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses produced by Colossus City, her hair is tied into a ball behind her, and two bulging pineapple branches On the table, it looks beautiful.

She is more beautiful than most of the women in Yanjing Town.

Second only to the mayor's sixth and seventh wives.

"Shaofeng, come to sell again?"

"Well, show me how much these things cost."

After putting all the groceries up, Zheng Juan glanced at them and gave a number.

"20 yuan, packed and collected."

"Deal, just give me 20 catties of beans."

"Yo~ I can't exchange 20 catties, and the beans have increased by 2 cents per catty, so I can give you 16 and a half catties at most, but."

Zheng Juan moved her face closer to Cheng Shaofeng, sniffed it and said with a coquettish smile, "But if my brother can sell something else, I can give you the same price as before."

Cheng Shaofeng looked at the table trembling with Zheng Juan's big pineapple, without changing his expression.

"My brother bought a bag last year, please get me another bag of the same style, thank you."

Zheng Juan: "?"

Putting the bag in Wu Jie's shed, Cheng Shaofeng boiled some beans and ate them while waiting for the hunters to come back.

"The taste is really mediocre. I have to ask the players to hunt me down more prey in the future."

Cheng Shaofeng didn't notice that during the time when both of them left the shed.

There is a pink flower under his bed.

A faint gas is being released.
