The two got on the commuter carriage and quickly headed towards the exit of the base.

From a distance, Su Xiu saw a heavily guarded sentry post.

The commuter bus stopped a few dozen meters away from the guard post. Su Xiu and Lao Liu got off the bus and walked quickly towards the guard post.

The exit and entrance here are completely separate, and both sides are heavily guarded, and their identities are checked separately before release.

There were a lot of people coming in and out, including hunters with exquisite equipment, and scavengers wearing slovenly clothes like Lao Liu. Although the two were not from the same world at all, no one dared to feel uncomfortable walking in the same passage.

.

Through the transparent protective cover, you can see a world filled with yellow sand outside. From time to time, tornadoes blow by, rolling up the yellow sand and flying all over the sky.

The world outside is a bit harsh.

Finally, after a few minutes, it was their turn.

Lao Liu skillfully took out his identity certificate and said a few words.

The guard glanced at Su Xiu with interest, took Su Xiu's identity certificate, and let him go happily.

Walking to the glass door, the door slowly opened, and Su Xiu and Lao Liu walked out together.

As soon as I went out, the glass door behind me was immediately closed.

Hot, dry, and dusty, this was Su Xiu's first feeling when he entered the wasteland.

A gust of wind blew, and a stream of yellow sand came directly to the surface.

Bah bah...

Su Xiu was caught off guard and was given a mouthful of sand.

"Here you go, you may need it." Old Liu handed a white towel to Su Xiu.

Su Xiu took the towel and saw that Lao Liu had covered half of his face with a yellowed towel at some point, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.

"Thank you!" Su Xiu said sincerely.

Although Lao Liu had a purpose for being attentive to him, Su Xiu didn't feel awkward. Instead, he felt that Lao Liu was a good person, at least very attentive.

They wrapped a white towel around their heads, covering half of their faces, and they continued walking forward.

It is difficult to find anything near the exit of the base.

With so many people coming and going every day, everything is picked up.

Even if you are scavenging, you still need to go to a place with few people.

As the two of them walked forward, in the world filled with yellow sand, not only could they not see anyone, but they could not even see any footprints, whether they were human or monster.

The wind and sand will erase all traces.

Su Xiu felt that the two of them were like ascetics, walking in the boundless sea of ​​sand. Although they were looking for something useful, it seemed more like an aimless search.

Looking at the yellow sand without any impurities, Su Xiu felt that this should be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Will Lao Liu still run out, bend down and dig a few times, and finally return disappointed?

"Is it really possible to find something?" Su Xiu felt that the sun above his head was a little too bright. The difficulty of scavenging was higher than he thought.

I originally thought that what scavengers needed to worry about most was monster attacks, but now it seems that what scavengers need to worry about most is that there is nothing to pick up!

"Take your time, don't rush, it depends on your luck." Old Liu didn't have a good idea. Whether the scavengers can find things mainly depends on their luck, unless they are not afraid of death and go deep into the wasteland.

However, the deeper he went, the greater the probability of mutant beasts appearing. He did not dare to take risks. If the proud son of Ducheng Academy suffered any losses, he could not bear the responsibility.

"Do you usually work like this?" Su Xiu asked.

Old Liu nodded and said: "It's almost the same. Sometimes I go a little deeper, but I don't dare to go too deep. After all, I am an ordinary person. I will be in big trouble if I encounter mutant beasts."

That's right, safety comes first, scavengers also cherish life, who is willing to die if he can live.

Huh……

Old Liu let out a soft cry and ran forward.

Su Xiu quickly followed him, feeling that Lao Liu must have discovered something.

Sure enough, Old Liu pushed aside a layer of Xisha and discovered a piece of animal bone, only the size of an adult's hand.

"How much is this thing worth?" Su Xiu wasn't sure.

Old Liu smiled, raised the animal bone in his hand, and explained: "This thing is not very valuable, but it doesn't count as returning empty-handed."

Someone in the team had something to gain, which greatly boosted Su Xiu's confidence and he quickly walked forward.

His eyes were constantly scanning back and forth, trying to find the treasure buried beneath the blockade.

However, Su Xiu was disappointed.

For more than an hour, for more than an hour, he found nothing. He felt that his eyes were a little astringent.

This, you won’t come back empty-handed today, right?

Su Xiu was a little unwilling. If he couldn't pick up anything today, he wouldn't be able to complete the task, and he wouldn't be able to redeem the body-refining and soul-refining method. Then wouldn't today's day be wasted?

What's more, it wouldn't sound good if he came out on the first day with such great fanfare and then returned empty-handed.

"Old Liu, can you give me this animal bone of yours?" Su Xiu pointed to the animal bone that Old Liu placed on his chest and said.

"Of course. It's your first time here. It's very meaningful to keep it as a souvenir." Old Liu thought Su Xiu wanted to keep this animal bone as a souvenir. After all, it was his first time entering the wasteland.

Su Xiu didn't explain Lao Liu's misunderstanding. He took the animal bones and excitedly waited for the system to notify him that the task was completed.

[The special mission is in progress, and the donated items cannot be used to complete the mission!]

"???"

Su Xiu frowned, unexpectedly he couldn't...

After complaining a few words, Su Xiu had no other choice but to continue.

Anyway, he wouldn't go back if he didn't find an animal bone himself today. At worst, he would go deep into the wasteland to take a look.

Suddenly, Su Xiu saw a dry tree in front of him.

I thought, there are often dead beasts under such trees. Maybe I can actually find something, so I couldn't help but run towards that direction quickly.

But Lao Liu shook his head from behind. There must be nothing under the tree. He didn't know how many times he had been here, and he had taken away the things he had long ago.

But he couldn't say anything, lest he dampen Su Xiu's interest.

When Su Xiu got closer, he realized that this was not a dead tree, but a huge coral tree. However, this coral tree had died long ago and was completely petrified. From a distance, it looked like a tree.

.

I quickly dug up all the yellow sand around me, but there was nothing underneath, it was all yellow sand. I continued digging some more, and it was still yellow sand.

"Old Liu, why don't we go deeper and take a closer look? There's nothing at all around here!" Su Xiu couldn't help but say.

He knew Lao Liu's responsibilities and didn't want to make it difficult for Lao Liu, so he had to speak in a consultative tone.

"Xiao Su, it's not that I don't want to, it's actually dangerous to go deep into the wasteland. It's just your first day here, and you're not familiar with it yet. If you run into a mutant beast, you'll be in big trouble." Sure enough,

Lao Liu directly rejected Su Xiu's request.

Su Xiu didn't force it, and the two of them continued walking, praying for luck.

It was still early and he could still stay here for a few hours. Su Xiu couldn't believe his luck. He really couldn't find anything.
Chapter completed!
