Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Yu Huan was obviously lucky. He had never encountered the "dark side" during the few times he went scavenging. In addition, after he met everyone, they intentionally or unintentionally helped Yu Huan avoid contact with these things. Therefore, over time, Yu Huan probably formed the idea that scavengers were a "big family" in his mind.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Yu Huan is so naive that he thinks scavengers are a loving family. After all, with such special abilities, Yu Huan's ability to judge people is actually quite accurate. For example, now...

"Those people's lines... are not good!"

He just glanced in the direction Yu said. With Yu Huan's current level, he obviously didn't need to see people. As long as he sensed them, he would be able to see through their hearts with the activation of his supernatural powers. He said this with some disgust.

"In that case...would you like to take care of other people's business, sister?"

Listening to Yu Huan's words, Yu immediately asked with great interest. Yu Huan thought about it and nodded:

"Let's take care of it. It would be fine if I didn't see it, but now that I've seen it... I'm a scavenger after all. Even if I'm a little incompetent, I saw it anyway, so I should do my duty."

Having said this, Yu Xianxiang immediately opened the system and took out the Book of Demons.

"Sister, what is this?"

Seeing this, Yu Zheng asked curiously, but saw that the next second a silver-white belt had appeared around Yu Huan's waist.

"Transform!"

With these simple and clear words, the red armor wrapped Yu Huan in the next second, and the four golden corners above his head flashed with a faint luster.

Kamen Rider Kuuga...Transformation Completed!

After doing all this, Yu Huan took out a small and exquisite president's badge from the system and put it on the collar of his chest. On the small badge, one could clearly see a line of metal font engraved: Scavenger Academy·Level 2 Scavenger.

This is an identification document for scavengers. Of course, it is not for scavengers to wear at all times when scavenging, but it is used to register when meeting other scavengers or going to a scavenger camp.

However, now Yu Huan wore it on his chest for the first time in a long time to represent his identity. At the same time, the girl, who was ready, walked towards the direction of the commotion with a smile.

Of course, this smile is hidden under the mask and no one can see it.

After watching Yu Huan's series of actions from beginning to end, Yu seemed stunned for a long time before he shook his head helplessly, spread his hands, and followed him.

There are also various levels of classification among scavengers. Although the level of a scavenger is determined by the number and rarity of the scavenged items, and therefore strength cannot be judged by cards, a scavenger without strength in the ruins obviously cannot find anything good... unless he is lucky.

Therefore, in a sense, for scavengers, level and strength are obviously linked.

Yu Huan's so-called second-level scavengers, who are at the 'student' level, are obviously a general term for little brats who haven't graduated yet. Such people are not even allowed to scavenger alone among scavengers. To put it bluntly... they are synonymous with weakness.

As for the Kuuga Armor... well, how should I put it? Although its strength is unquestionable, and its practicality is definitely better than any scavenger suit, if you only look at its appearance, it is obviously a bit too... plain.

To sum up, just by looking at Yu Huan's appearance, Yu knew clearly that his sister... was preparing to "play" again.

17. Professional rescue

Ruins No. 2333

...Hmm, isn't it a familiar place?

Yes, because this place is none other than the place where Yu Huan landed at the very beginning.

Although times have changed and even Yu Huan may not recognize this place now, there is no doubt that this is still one of the ruins frequented by scavengers.

After all, it was once the core of the world, the world at the axis position. Even after experiencing various disasters, the "history" left in this world is still deeply buried in the deepest part of this earth.

The essence of scavengers, to put it bluntly, is to dig out these deeply buried "treasures", allowing them to see the light of day again while also bringing themselves strength and the resources they need for survival.

No one knows how many "treasures" are hidden in the ruins of this continent, and it is impossible for anyone to really count them. After all, although this world is not very big, it is still a gathering of the world's most advanced technologies, magic, science and technology, etc.

Therefore, even if it is just a ruin that seems to have been mined out, someone may suddenly dig out something different one day... This is probably the most surprising thing for scavengers.

And No. 2333 Ruins is such a place.

As one of the few "safe ruins" among scavengers that has avoided natural disasters and has a small number of exotic beasts, there are naturally quite a few scavengers coming here.

The Iron Motorcycle Team is one of them, but unfortunately it is one of the teams with very bad luck.

It was supposed to be a safe ruin where strange beasts rarely appeared, but their team happened to encounter three A-level strange beasts. Not only did the team members suffer heavy losses, but they were on the verge of winning with great difficulty. However, at this moment, Tiemo, the team leader, keenly sensed... a different energy surging from the surroundings.

They were 'picked up'.

This kind of thing is not uncommon among scavengers. In fact, many scavengers will ignore the treaty of the scavengers' alliance in order to survive and carry out this kind of bargain-hunting behavior in the ruins.

The key point is that this kind of behavior itself cannot be restrained by rules, because later on, you only need to say "The man was killed by a strange beast, and it was too late when I arrived", and you can easily get away with it. No one can say anything else... unless they saw it with their own eyes.

In view of this, although picking up bargains is undoubtedly a despicable act in the Scavengers Alliance, there are still countless scavenger teams that do this.

"Everyone... I'm sorry."

Seeing that the three strange beasts in front of him were already panting, and the only five people left in their team, including him, were almost out of ammunition and food. In this situation, even killing the strange beasts in front of them might cost the lives of the team members, not to mention what would happen if they were ambushed.

Faced with this situation, Tiemo's apology obviously left the team members unable to respond. Each scavenger carried a signal gun for calling for help and energy detectors of different sizes and levels.

Although the capabilities and models of these detectors vary, it is impossible for them not to sense the unknown team hiding around them at this moment, as they are so ready and the energy fluctuations are so obvious.

"It can only be said that it's bad luck, NND..."

The first man holding a heavy metal shield spat out a mouthful of blood foam and spoke, but anyone could hear the unwillingness in his voice.

This is indeed something that only happens due to bad luck, but since it has already happened, it is indeed no one else's fault:

"The Scavenger Alliance is really getting worse and worse. They'll take any scavenger who has the ability, especially those who are self-righteous but have no character... They mistake picking up bargains for scavenging. It's simply shameless..."

Although the former scavengers' alliance could not be said to love each other, they could be considered to have a relationship of mutual help. After all, everyone lived in the ruins and relied on the resources in the ruins to barely survive.

When facing powerful monsters, just uniting to fight is often a very laborious task. Who would have the mood to cause internal strife or something like that?

But now the situation is completely different...

"Ever since the Alliance's crushing defeat at the hands of Tianyu City, the world has been in utter chaos... Most scavengers have joined the Mercenary Guild, and the Scavenger Alliance itself is also losing a significant number of scavengers. To replenish its ranks, the scavenger recruitment requirements have been lowered..."

"Bullshit... Don't make it sound like it's all Tianyu City's fault. Mercenaries clearly represent scavengers, and the Scavengers Alliance and Tianyu City have already reached an agreement on this. It's clearly those stubborn old guys who refused to comply with the idea of ​​Tianyu City annexing the Scavengers Alliance, and directly split the entire alliance..."

"I know that too. I'm just saying..."

"Everyone, can you please stop chatting? We're fighting hard over here!"

"Tsk~~ I'm going to die anyway, can't I just complain before I die?"

"I should have gone to Tianyu City earlier. If I hadn't been reluctant to part with my little savings, it would really be..."

"It's no use regretting it now, you bastards. You want a sneak attack, right? Come on, I'll show them the nerve of a scavenger!"

Even though there were only five people left, it could be seen that there was a very deep relationship between these five people. Even though they were facing the strange beasts and were already in a wounded state, their conversation was still full of ease.

However, this relaxed attitude was cleverly interrupted the next second by a voice that was elegant yet arrogant:

"Oh my~~ What a righteous tone! It's a pity that even with all the power, a corpse... ultimately has no say~~"

The voice of the strange man suddenly rang out among the crowd, but it was this voice that almost caused the original five-member team to explode instantly.

"Boom~~~"

A heavy hammer pushed the oncoming beast back, but then a sturdy man in black and gray leather armor turned around and roared angrily in one direction:

"Damn it, I knew it... you're such a scumbag!"

Such words were obviously a recognition of the sudden voice, and as he and his companions looked on, they could clearly see a figure wearing standard scavenger's clothes appearing on an abandoned car not far away.

"I will kill you!"

Among the five people, one held a shield, three held weapons shaped like submachine guns, and only the captain and another person had empty hands. However, the light blue and light blue aura surrounding them clearly revealed their identities: psychics.

The burly man holding the shield was obviously the most impulsive. The moment he saw the man on the platform, his eyes suddenly turned red. Just as he was about to rush towards the man, a woman behind him reached out and interrupted him.

"Don't be impulsive. If you go up there, we'll all die!"

This sentence seemed to calm the strong man down instantly. He then realized that it was because of his protection that the three strange beasts surrounding them could not break through the five-person defense circle and rush in. However, if he really rushed forward on impulse, the result would most likely be the death of his teammates because they had no protection from him.

As for the strong man himself... he obviously still had self-awareness. Although he hated that despicable villain, he was indeed no match for the other party. If he rushed forward, he would only be seeking death.

"Well, that's a wise choice. You really are a trained dog. You're so obedient, Stone."

The mocking voice continued with a smile. Although the man was a little disappointed that the strong man named Shitou did not rush forward, it was obvious that standing in the highest "safe zone" and watching the five people in front of him fighting against the strange beast, the final outcome seemed to have been determined.

Either he would die together with the strange beast in front of him, or he would be covered in wounds after finally killing the strange beast. Of course, with him around, it was obviously impossible for him to let these people escape.

After all, you have to know that for this opportunity, he specially spent a high price to buy a "Demon-Attracting Incense" from the Demon Realm. How could he let these people in front of him go so easily?

and so……

"Come on, everyone. I'm a decent guy, so I'll wait until you're done fighting before I attack you. Don't worry, I'll sneak attack you."

Having said so, however, the more such words were spoken at this time, the more it would obviously arouse the anger of the people in front of him, especially under the other party's so-called "no sneak attack" words, which was obviously a kind of irony.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill him!"

They shouted like this, but even though the five of them looked grim, they all knew that this was simply impossible.

Under the current situation, although the three strange beasts were equally exhausted and confronted them, it was obviously impossible for them to retreat at the moment when their ferocity was aroused.

Escape is also unlikely. Since that guy dared to come out, he must have been surrounded by his men long ago. This bastard would never do anything without preparation.

There is undoubtedly only one feasible way at the moment, which is to try your best to kill the beasts in front of you first, and then fight to the death with the other party.

The annihilation of the entire army is a foregone conclusion. All that will be left is to see how many lives the other side can take away by the five of them.

As this thought kept circling in Tiemo's mind, a dim light began to flash in his eyes. As the blue-purple electric light continued to gather between his palms, it was obvious that he had already made a decision in his heart at this moment.

"I'll unleash all my might to finish off those three beasts. You all, cooperate with me and attack indiscriminately. Escape if you can. If you can't... kill as many as you can!"

He spoke to the team members around him in a low voice, and the determination in his eyes clearly represented his resolve. The five of them obviously had no hesitation about the captain's decision, and they nodded decisively.

A desperate fight was inevitable. The scavengers who had been wandering among the ruins for years were obviously not afraid of anything, so...

"Professional scavenging and rescue team, opening day promotion, one spirit coin per person, fair and honest, hurry up if you want to buy~~~"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Sister, what are you playing at again?"

18. Are you interested?

The Iron Motorcycle Team, a professional A-level scavenger team, is also a well-known mentor team among the many nearby scavenger villages.

The so-called mentor team actually means a team that specializes in training new scavengers and occasionally takes some newcomers to the ruins to take risks and scavenge.

Although this so-called "teaching" is actually a kind of postgraduate entrance examination for new team members, and by the way, it is also a concept to see if some good seedlings can be found from it, but to put it bluntly, it is almost a teaching team.

It is precisely because of this that the Tiemo team, which is clearly an A-level scavenger team, came to a "safe zone" like the No. 2333 ruins to scavenge.

However, even so, the Iron Horse team obviously overlooked a very important thing, that is, although the ruins No. 2333 is a well-known "safe zone", there are no natural disasters here but man-made disasters.

Wandering around the world... no, walking through the ruins, as a team, it is inevitable that you will offend people. No matter who is right or wrong, there will always be one or two enemies.

The Liunian Team is one of them. They were criticized by the Scavengers' Alliance for their despicable behavior and unscrupulous means. They were almost revoked of their scavenger certificates and were also listed as members of the Scavengers' Union.

It is such a team, and its captain Liu Chuan is the best among them. He has done a lot of things that require his brain, but his motto is that he has hardly ever done anything good.

I don’t know if it’s because he and Tiemo are born incompatible, but in short, the two of them became enemies because of some big and small things, and it’s normal for them to cause trouble for each other.

However, it was because the reputation of the Liunian Scavengers Team was there, and there was basically no comparison with the Tiemo Team, which served as their 'mentor'. Therefore, it was easy to imagine whose side the Scavengers Alliance would stand on.

In view of this, it is obvious that the Liunian team has never gained any advantage over the Tiemo team.

If this continued, it was almost a matter of time before the Iron Motors team would be left behind. However, plans could never keep up with changes. During this period of time, the Scavengers Alliance was involved in a riot due to the battle between Tianyu City and the Alliance.

Because of the disagreement on whether to support the alliance or Tianta City, the senior members of the Scavengers Alliance were directly divided into two halves.

On the one hand, they naturally support the existence of Tianyu City, believing that Tianyu City's mercenary system and scavengers complement each other, allowing scavengers to have more formal channels for accepting tasks, and also providing a strong shelter for scavengers.

However, on the other hand, they felt that the existence of the scavengers belonged to the alliance, and Tianyu City's actions were undoubtedly intended to completely replace the scavenger alliance. This had obviously dealt the most fatal blow to their interests, so they chose to stand on the side of the alliance.

As a result, the two sides naturally formed a confrontation, and the scavenger alliance, which was already large in number and powerful, naturally split into two parts, and began to frantically absorb scavengers to facilitate the competition.

Among them, the scavengers who support Tianyu City are naturally relatively strong. After all, after Tianta City was defeated by Tianyu City some time ago, it suffered a considerable blow to its momentum.

Not to mention that the mercenary system introduced by Tianyu City itself and the mass-produced equipment of armor and magic series have greatly armed the scavengers who become mercenaries, allowing the Scavenger Alliance to benefit from it.

Under such circumstances, the members of the "orthodox" scavengers' alliance obviously would not agree... Seeing that the other party's power was growing and strength was getting stronger, they had no choice but to start recruiting scavengers to join them, and even lowered the requirements for joining the scavengers, and began to recruit scavengers in all aspects.

Over time, the Scavengers' Alliance, which originally had orthodox discipline and even academy, was kicked out of the scavenger team because of its wanton recruitment of those who had more or less stains in the past. However, those guys who were strong in themselves joined the Scavengers' Alliance one by one and began to emerge with their own strength.

This naturally further aroused the dissatisfaction of the scavengers on the other side. Even most of the scavengers who originally belonged to this side began to gradually develop different thoughts and ideas because of the harassment and provocation.

However, in the end, the scavengers' alliance on this side still occupies the "hearts" of most scavengers. Because the scavengers' alliance is so large and there are too many people, many scavengers obviously have their own "place of belonging".

Because of these places of affiliation, even though some scavengers are more optimistic about Tianyu City and want to become mercenaries, they cannot make up their minds to leave their homes and travel a long distance to Tianyu City to take a gamble.
