89 Days of Scavenging

"What...what is this?!"

Feng Le faced the gust of wind head-on, and was hit in the face. He panicked and threw away the scroll that had broken in two, shoving it at his face as if something was wrong.

Feng Lixuan did not reply to him.

His gaze was fixed on the banyan tree, and he even stopped firing the machine gun in his hand.

However, the mutated banyan tree did not take this opportunity to attack the two despicable humans.

Unable to resist the drowsiness, the entire tree seemed to have been put on pause; whether it was anger or the instinct to reject humans, it all vanished in the wind.

Like an ordinary banyan tree before it mutated, it sat quietly in place, asleep.

Feng Lixuan stopped shooting only after watching the previously menacing branches droop one by one.

Having received no response, Feng Le looked up and took in the scene before him.

His eyes were completely glued to the screen!

.

Even after walking far out of the shade of the sleeping banyan tree, Feng Le was still not recovered from the shock of the scene.

Feng Lixuan ignored him and expressed his gratitude to the little robot. Without the robot needing to say anything more, he took out all his supplies, including the high-level crystal cores he had finally managed to hunt on this trip, and pushed them in front of his savior.

He knew that these things couldn't compare to the life-saving grace, but at the moment he really didn't know how to express his gratitude.

The little robot didn't take any of his stuff.

He didn't even want that high-grade crystal core.

After all, he knew he wasn't a superhuman; this thing was just energy to him. He didn't lack energy.

When Feng Lixuan insisted on expressing his gratitude, the little robot thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a fixed place to live?"

“Yes.” Although Feng Lixuan didn’t know why his benefactor was asking this, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be said, so he nodded and replied, “I’m from the Qunshan Base. The base is about ten days’ journey from here. If you need it, I can draw you a route map.”

There's no need for a route map; he knows the way himself.

The little robot shook its head.

However, he did not expect that the humans he rescued would happen to be from the Mountain Base, which made his request perfect.

The little robot said, "I'm going to open a branch at the Qunshan base. If you really want to repay my kindness, then help me open the store."

With the help of the local residents, his preliminary investigations and shop rental procedures will be much easier, and the shop will be opened much faster.

Feng Lixuan naturally wouldn't refuse his benefactor's request.

Moreover, this request is not a big deal at all.

but……

"You want to open a shop?"

Feng Lixuan's curiosity was piqued.

The little robot nodded, and just as they arrived at where he had parked, it pointed to the mobile vending vehicle on the side of the road.

"This is also one of my branches," the little robot said. "Why don't you go over and see if you need anything?"

At this moment, Feng Le finally slowly came to his senses.

Unable to contain his excitement, he wanted to discuss the amazing scene with his brother when he heard the little robot talking about branch stores. He looked in the direction the robot was pointing.

My eyes were immediately drawn to that distinctive commercial vehicle.

"My God..."

He opened his mouth wide.

When they reached the food truck, Feng Le was so surprised to see the snow-haired boy quickly open a compartment and reveal the dining car window that he swallowed hard.

Are these foods real?! He dreamed of eating grilled skewers, fried chicken, spicy strips, beer, cola, and so on again, thinking he would never be able to eat them again in his life!

"Brother..." Feng Le called out, his eyes never leaving the dazzling array of food.

Feng Lixuan was also stunned into silence by what he saw.

Soon, they made a deal with the little robot.

The little robot was very happy.

There's no other way. Although you can find a lot of trash by taking these remote roads, you encounter very few people. This is the first order I've received in the past two days.

The Feng brothers changed their clothes, even traded water from the little robot to take a bath, got a haircut, and shaved their stubble clean.

As they sat in their chairs, looking at the food and beer in front of them, the two were filled with emotion.

During the meal and drinks, it's inevitable to chat.

The little robot thus learned some information about the two of them.

Just as the little robot had guessed, Feng Lixuan's special ability is of the Special Ability type, which means he can conjure firearms out of thin air. However, at his current level, being able to conjure machine guns is already the most impressive; his goal is to conjure cannons.

However, this ability also has drawbacks: it can only conjure one machine gun at a time, and it doesn't enhance Feng Lixuan's physical abilities. He can only carry a machine gun now because he's never stopped training, and even so, after such intense machine gun fire, his body is already incredibly sore and aching, covered in bruises.

Fortunately, Feng Le was with him.

Feng Le also has superpowers, and his superpower is quite popular: healing ability.

Now, all of Feng Lixuan's problems have been completely cured by Feng Leyi.

However, Feng Le lacks combat ability and is timid by nature. To this day, he has not developed the ability to heal others during battle and can only heal them after the battle is over.

That's why, even though he has healing abilities, not many people are willing to take him on missions.

Feng Lixuan's superpower is very strong, and he has enough firepower to suppress the enemy. As long as he doesn't encounter a horde of zombies or an overwhelming crisis like this one, he can protect himself without any problem.

So the two of them became a fixed team.

At this point, Feng Lixuan sighed, "I was too overconfident. If we hadn't met Brother Ji, my brother and I would be dead here."

Feng Le nodded repeatedly.

However, he couldn't help but ask what he had just torn up.

That powerful attack was launched by him personally! This was the first time in his life he had ever been this powerful!

Feng Le thought, if there were more of these things...

He then learned about the magic scroll from the little robot.

The little robot didn't hide anything and explained the thing simply, using the same explanation as the three leaders of Hope Base.

Feng Le was both amazed and regretful upon hearing this.

What amazes him is that such a magical and powerful ability exists in the world. Unfortunately, this is not the weapon he imagined, so he can't stockpile more of them.

The two chatted and ate until they were stuffed, but still felt a little unsatisfied.

There's nothing he can do; these kinds of days are truly rare. Even though Feng Lixuan's powerful abilities ensure he has no shortage of supplies, he's only just not starving. As for things like fried chicken, barbecue, beer, and cola, he can't find anywhere to eat them even with his points.

Feng Lixuan also tried to invite the little robot to go to the mountain base with them, but the little robot refused as well.

However, unlike Tan Mengzhu, the two brothers were not persistent and left readily after being rejected.

Before leaving, Feng Lixuan inquired in detail about the requirements for the branch that the little robot wanted to open, including the size of the store, location, decoration, and other JSG details. He said that if he returned to the Qunshan base first, he would help him with the preliminary preparations, which would make things much easier once the little robot arrived.

The little robot didn't refuse.

Before leaving, Feng Le couldn't help but ask the little robot if the scroll could be traded.

The little robot refused.

Feng Le was taken away by Feng Lixuan, feeling lost.

After this little incident, the little robot continued to deliberately choose secluded routes.

The journey that should have taken ten days took the little robot almost twenty.

Along the way, he encountered not only lone survivors but also teams on missions, and even a small safe zone of about fifty people. It was a farmhouse where the survivors lived relatively safely by taking advantage of the environment.

The little robot naturally didn't miss any opportunity to open a store.

That small safe zone even dented a small area of ​​his recovery warehouse's inventory.

The little robot hadn't even arrived at the Qunshan base yet, but news about him had already spread there.

A shop where you can trade any kind of junk for goods. It's incredibly well-stocked; if you can think of it, they probably have it. The prices are super cheap—even the poorest person could buy it with their own poop!

This store has a branch in Hope Base, and now the owner is about to open another branch in Qunshan Base!

Furthermore, teams going out on missions might encounter shop owners' vehicles on the road, where they can also trade. I've heard they even have transparent protective shields, those futuristic, high-tech things!

When these rumors spread like wildfire, the first reaction of those who heard them was that it was too outrageous, how could there be such fake news?

In their view, how could anyone possibly have an endless supply of goods? Even if someone did have a lot of goods, it's impossible for them to be so generous as to allow others to exchange them. Is this a shop or a charity?

Furthermore, even if someone were to open a shop and trade goods, and kindly set the prices low, it would be impossible for them to exchange garbage, or even accept things like poop.

Is this not fake news or what?

Then, as more and more people encountered the mobile sales vehicle with its colorful lights and music playing on the road, some even walked back and forth from the Hope Base and actually saw the magical supply store there, and even experienced it firsthand.

There aren't many people left who would consider this news fake.

This led to increased curiosity.

And I'm looking forward to the opening of that branch at the Gunsan base soon!

Some people have already started collecting the trash, and the trash cans have been spotless for several days without a single piece of garbage remaining.

Amidst this great anticipation, the little robot finally arrived at the mountain base at a leisurely pace.

When that very distinctive-looking vehicle appeared in the line at the entrance checkpoint of the mountain base, quite a few observant people had already spotted it.

So the news that "the owner of that supply trading shop has arrived!" spread like wildfire to many people's ears.

Even the personnel responsible for inspection at the base entrance couldn't help but draw their attention to the direction of that car.

That's right. Although no colored lights were turned on and no songs were sung, the appearance of that commercial vehicle had already spread far and wide, and many people even remembered the patterns on the vehicle.

Moreover, the shop owner was a white-haired boy who looked as good as a celebrity, which perfectly matched!

Those who had been following the news at the Qunshan base also learned of it.

For example, the Feng brothers, and Tan Mengzhu.
