A man about the same age as Cheng Whistle was sitting in the shed... Eat pacmen.

Cheng whistle wind's beans.

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

The earthy yellow beans with a little burnt black look like they have been fried.

Cheng Whistle Feng saw this... Breathe a sigh of relief.

"Applejack, I'm back."

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

ran over and slapped Cheng Whistlefeng's body.

"Why are you still alive?"

"Damn! If it weren't for the fact that you had saved a lot of beans before, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to keep your belongings, and I'm about to vomit after eating beans these days! Hurry up, how is the harvest this time? Let's go get some leaves and cakes to eat! ”

The young man stopped talking, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Where's your bag?"

Cheng Whistle: "I've encountered marauders..."

The man glanced at the embarrassed marks on Cheng Whistlefeng's body and the slight radiation marks on his hands.

"Grass! You're so big that you can run away from those green-skinned big-muscled tyrants... No wonder it's 2 days later than budgeted, it's a pity ... You'll have to go to the mayor's black-hearted shop to buy a bag, and the money will come out of your supplies. ”

"Okay."

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

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

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

Fellow scavengers have an unspoken rule: they never team up when they go out to scavenge, but they are inseparable in the town.

Scavengers go out with all their supplies.

But Cheng Whistle and Wu Jie are more special, because Wu Jie... Good luck.

After the death of his parents, before he partnered with Wu Jie, Cheng Xianfeng actually had a very difficult life, and if it wasn't for the help of his parents' friends before, he might have starved to death.

But once after he partnered with Wu Jie... Find out that your luck has changed!

Every time you go out, you can get something out.

may have come and gone, or it may have been a coincidence, and the two have been working together.

Gradually, the two of them saved more and more belongings... And one person goes out to pick up waste, which is almost enough for two people to eat, so they take turns to go out to pick up waste, and the other person stays in the town.

It's safer that way.

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

Cheng Whistle counted his supplies and took a few well-preserved circuit boards into his hands.

These are the goods he has stocked up, ready to wait for the caravan of Colossus City to arrive, and exchange it for some good things.

Colossus City needs this kind of pre-war goodies, and it doesn't have any use in Salt Well.

If it is sold directly to the town, the price will shrink somewhat.

Anyway, they have enough resources on hand to eat, so they keep it and wait for the Colossus caravan to come, and they can sell it at a good price.

For other waste pickers... If you pick up a little, you have to sell it, or you will starve to death.

'Zero, can I see what I have in my hand?' Cheng Whistle asked in his consciousness.

Zero: "Scanning..."

The blue AR picture in front of Cheng Xiangfeng's eyes was superimposed on the shed, showing the progress of the scanning, which rose rapidly.

A few seconds later.

Zero: "Scanned!" You can extract a total of 4 electronic components from the circuit board you have on hand. ”

'Good! That's stable...'

Once the electronic components are in hand, you can make clones by buying some prey from the base as biological raw materials.

'Players better not die in the future... Otherwise, I'll have trouble gathering resources. ’

The value of the materials needed to make a clone was exchanged for beans, enough for him to eat for more than a month.

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

The money was issued by the Colossus, a lustrous iron coin that could be used in a large area around the Colossus.

With Cheng Whistle's knowledge over the years... Haven't heard of a place that doesn't recognize the money of the Colossus.

It could also be because he has never traveled far away.

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

Seeing Cheng Whistle Feng carefully counting the supplies there, Wu Jie showed a surprised expression: "Brother Feng... You've changed, you've become strangers. ”

Cheng Whistle was startled.

Some of your own little habits are different from their predecessors and have been discovered?

Yes!

Wu Jie and Cheng Whistle have been scavenging together for two years, and the two must know each other very well, so if there is a different person in this body, the first thing to know... It must be Wu Jie!

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

Wu Jie looked up at the outside of the shed: "You came back before... Never counted supplies in front of me. ”

Cheng Whistle: "......"

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

"Just... That's it? Don't get me wrong... I just want to take stock of my assets and buy something. ”

"Huh? I bought a bag last year... If you lose it, you remember to buy the bag first. ”

"Uh... Good. ”

"That's right! Draw me your route this time, I went out to pick up waste in the afternoon, I've been in the town for the past few days, you take care of my supplies... Especially the silicone doll that can make a sound, that's my lifeline, and I relied on it until I found a woman! ”

“......”

Cheng Whistle looked at Wu Jie, who was already packing up his things, and was a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for his arrival, maybe the two would still be happily scavenging.

But... He is not the Cheng whistle style before.

"Applejack, I'm leaving..."

Wu Jie: "Let's go?" Where to go? You look like a ghost, hurry up and wash and rest, I'll buy two cakes and roll some vegetables in a while, and I'll set off after eating, and you'll come back empty-handed... According to the theorem of conservation of luck, I will inevitably break out this time, and it is possible to pick up a gun, after all, it is a red city. ”

The Red City, the ruins of a pre-war city that has not yet been largely exploited by scavengers.

If you have the courage to go, you may be able to harvest a lot of supplies.

Of course... Most of the scavengers who were lucky never came back.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been lucky after partnering with Wu Jie, Cheng Whistle would not have dared to go there.

"Applejack, I'm going to be away from Salt Well for a while, I've made some friends out there and want to do something together..."

Wu Jie's hand shook slightly.

"You want to break up the gang?"

"Hmm."

"Scavengers, together they live, and if they divide they die... Have you forgotten? ”

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

"Oh... Really want to go? There is no safer place in Sishan than Yanjing Town, and your future partner may not have my luck, the old man said... It is not the strongest hunter, not the most capable tailor, nor the most shrewd merchant, but the one with the best luck. ”

"When the time comes... I'll call you over again. ”

"I hope you live to that time..."

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

From Cheng Whistlefeng's memory, Wu Jie is a very reliable partner, but he has too many secrets now, and his strength is too weak, and the matter of summoning players cannot be exposed.

"Good luck... Can you really buff someone else? It's a bit mysterious. ”

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

At present, the hunters have not returned, and Cheng Xiangfeng is carrying his supplies around casually and disposing of the groceries on hand.

He couldn't wait here for the caravan from Colossus.

Most of those who stayed in the town during the day were women and a few... An old man with good luck in this life.

If you have a job, do some work, and if you don't... Just get together and talk.

"Lately, I feel like we're getting cooler... I've always felt uncomfortable and always wanted to bask in the sun. ”

"This perennial backlit place is like this, it's good to be alive, or you go outside to find the marauder camp, they are in the open air, you can get enough sun."

"Did you hear a strange noise in the mayor's house last night? I feel like I'm hearing a woman screaming..."

"Haven't you heard the old saying? It is not necessarily the responsibility to carry it on the shoulders, it is not necessarily the knife that stabs you in the back, the one who kneels on the ground is not necessarily begging for mercy, and the heart-rending cry is not necessarily the grievance ......"

"Huh~ So that's the case... I thought it was... Harm! Mayor Mare's really interested. ”

Cheng Whistle passed by and smiled, and went to the store.

There is only one shop in the town, which sells everything and collects everything that is valuable.

The shopkeeper's name is Zheng Juan, the fifth wife of the mayor, in her early 30s, still charming, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses produced in Colossus City, her hair tied into a ball behind her back, and two bulging pineapples on the table, which looks beautiful.

More beautiful than most of the women in Yanjing Town.

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

"Whistle Wind, sell it again?"

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

After all the groceries were put on, Zheng Juan glanced at it and gave a number.

"20 yuan, packed and collected."

"Deal, just exchange it for 20 catties of beans for me."

"Oh~ I can't change 20 catties, the beans have risen by 2 cents per catty, and I will give you 16 and a half catties at most, but..."

Zheng Juan leaned her face closer to Cheng Whistlefeng, sniffed it and said with a smile: "But if my brother can sell something else... I can give you as per the previous price..."

Cheng Whistle looked at the table that shook with Zheng Juan's big pineapple, and his face did not change.

"My brother... I bought a bag last year, please get me another one with the same model, thank you. ”

Zheng Juan: "? ”

Putting the bag in Wu Jie's shed, Cheng Xiaofeng boiled some beans in water, and waited for the hunters to come back while eating.

"This taste... It's really average, and I'll have to ask the player to give me more prey to eat in the future..."

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

Underneath his bed... One more pink flower.

A faint gas is being released.
