My players are grinding in the apocalypse

A man about the same age as Cheng Shaofeng was sitting in the shed eating beans.

Cheng Shaofeng’s beans.

"Gaba~Gaba~It tastes so bad. Gaba~"

The beans are earthy yellow with a bit of burnt black, and they look like they have been fried.

Cheng Shaofeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"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.

"Are you still alive?"

"Damn! If you hadn't saved a lot of beans before, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep your little possessions. I've almost vomited after eating beans these days! Come on, come on, how is the harvest this time? Let's go Let’s eat some vegetables and cakes instead!”

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 embarrassment on Cheng Shaofeng's body and the slight traces of radiation on his hands.

"Fuck! You are so lucky that you can escape from those green-skinned big-muscle tyrants. No wonder it's 2 days later than the budget. What a pity. You have to go to the mayor's black-hearted store to buy a bag again. This money Come out of your supplies."

"OK."

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

Not only do hunters gather in groups, scavengers also look out for each other.

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

There is an unspoken rule among scavenger partners: they never form a team when going out to scavenge, but they must be inseparable in the town.

Scavengers 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 and before he partnered with Wu Jie, Cheng Shaofeng actually lived a very difficult life. If his parents' friends hadn't given him a little help, he might have starved to death.

But once he partnered with Wu Jie and found that his luck had improved!

You will gain something every time you go out.

Maybe it was a stroke of luck or a coincidence, but the two of them have been working together.

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

This is safer.

This time Cheng Shaofeng went out to scavenge, so Wu Jie moved all his supplies into his home and took care of them.

Cheng Shaofeng counted his supplies and took several relatively well-preserved circuit boards into his hands.

These are the goods he has stored up, ready to exchange for some good stuff when the caravan from Colossus City comes.

Colossus City needs this kind of good stuff that can only be produced before the war, but it has no use in Salt Well Town.

If sold directly to the town, the price will shrink.

Anyway, the resources they have on hand are enough for food, so they will save them to wait for the Colossus City caravan to come and sell them at a good price.

For other scavengers, they have to sell what they pick up or starve to death.

‘Number Zero, can you use what I have in my hand? ’ Cheng Shaofeng asked in his mind.

Number zero: "Scanning"

The blue AR screen in front of Cheng Shaofeng was superimposed on the shed, showing the progress of the scan, which was rising rapidly.

After a few seconds.

Number Zero: "Scanning completed! A total of 4 electronic components can be extracted from the circuit board you have."

'good! Then it’s stable.’

With the electronic components in hand, all you need to do is purchase some prey from the base as biological raw materials to make clones.

‘Players better not die in the future, otherwise it will be troublesome for me to collect resources. ’

The value of the materials needed to make a clone, converted into beans, would be enough for him to feed himself for more than a month.

In addition to these circuit boards, his collection also contains 28 pounds of beans, 343 yuan, and various miscellaneous groceries.

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

Based on Cheng Shaofeng's experience over the years, he has never heard of any place that did not recognize the money from Colossus City.

It may also be because he has never traveled far.

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

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

Cheng Shaofeng was suddenly startled.

Are some of your little habits different from those of your predecessor, discovered?

Yes!

Wu Jie and Cheng Shaofeng have been scavenging together for two years. They must know each other very well. If there is another person in this body, Wu Jie will be the first to know!

Cheng Shaofeng said alertly: "No, I don't think so. Maybe I'm too tired these days."

Wu Jie looked up and looked outside the shed: "You have never counted the supplies in front of me before when you came back."

Cheng Shaofeng: "."

Wu Jie: "You have become distrustful of me. You don't even go to your own home to order."

"That's it? Don't misunderstand me. I just want to inventory my assets and buy something."

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

"Uh okay."

"That's right! Draw me your route this time. I'll go out to scavenge in the afternoon. I've been stuck in the town for the past few days. Please take good care of my supplies. Especially the silicone doll that can make noises. But my lifeblood, until I find a woman, I completely depend on it!”

"."

Cheng Shaofeng looked a little embarrassed when he looked at Wu Jie who was already packing his things.

If it hadn't been for his arrival, maybe the two of them would still be happily scavenging.

But he is no longer the Cheng Shaofeng he was before.

"Ajie, I have to leave"

Wu Jie: "Let's go? Where are you going? You're such a ghost, you should quickly take a rest. I'll buy two pancakes and roll some food later. After eating, I'll set off. You came back empty-handed. Then according to the law of conservation of luck, I'm going to An outbreak is bound to happen, and it’s possible to pick up a gun, after all, it’s the Red City.”

Red City, the ruins of a pre-war city that has largely remained unexplored by scavengers.

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

Of course, most of the lucky scavengers never come back.

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

"Ajie, I'm leaving Yanjing Town for a while. I've made some friends outside and want to do something together."

Wu Jie's hand shook slightly.

"You want to break up the gang?"

"Um."

"Scavengers, when combined they live, when divided they die. Have you forgotten?"

"This is a story about tomb robbing that we heard from the old people in the town."

"Oh, you really want to leave? There is no safer place in the Four Mountains than Yanjing Town. Your future partner may not be as lucky as me. The old man said that those who live longer are not the strongest hunters, the most capable tailors, and the most A shrewd businessman, but one with the best luck.”

"I will call you over when the time is right."

"I hope you can live until then."

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 Shaofeng's memory, Wu Jie is a very reliable partner, but he currently has too many secrets and is too weak. The matter of summoning players cannot be exposed. When he becomes stronger, everything can be explained reasonably. After that, you can give Wu Jie a hand when the time comes.

"Can you really buff others if you're lucky? 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 would be a bit disrespectful to science to really treat it as a buff state.

The hunters haven't returned yet, so Cheng Shaofeng walked around casually with his supplies and disposed of the groceries on hand.

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

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

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

"It feels like it's getting cooler and cooler in our area lately. I've been feeling uncomfortable, and I always want to bask in the sun."

"This is a place with backlight all year round. It's good to be alive. Why don't you go outside and find a predator camp? They are open-air and you can get enough of the sun."

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

"Haven't you heard an old saying? What is carried on the shoulders is not necessarily responsibility, what stabs you in the back is not necessarily a knife, who kneels on the knees is not necessarily begging for mercy, and a heart-wrenching cry is not necessarily grievances."

"Eh~ So that's it. I thought it was harmful! The mayor is really in a good mood."

Cheng Shaofeng smiled knowingly as he passed by and headed to the store.

There is only one store in the town, which sells everything and accepts everything of value.

The shopkeeper is Zheng Juan, the fifth wife of the mayor. She is in her early 30s, still charming, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses made by Colossus City, her hair is tied into a ball at the back, and she has two bulging pineapple branches. On the table, it looks beautiful.

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

The sixth and seventh wives after the mayor.

"Shao Feng, are you here to sell again?"

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

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

"20 yuan, take it in a package."

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

"Oh~ You can't exchange for 20 kilograms. The beans have increased by 2 cents per kilogram. The most I can give you is 16 and a half kilograms, but..."

Zheng Juan put her face close to Cheng Shaofeng, sniffed it and said with a sweet smile: "But if my brother can sell something else, I can give it to you at the previous price."

Cheng Shaofeng looked at the table shaking with Zheng Juan's big pineapple, his expression unchanged.

"My brother bought a bag last year. Please get me another one of the same style. Thank you."

Zheng Juan: "?"

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

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

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

There is an extra pink flower under his bed.

A light gas is being released.
