Chapter 123 Different perspectives, different meanings of objects

Shen Bei listened to what Rock said on the way.

It is said that Little K encountered some trouble.

At first, Shen Bei thought that this little guy had been beaten up again, or had just suffered a minor injury from a bump.

But Rock guessed that it might be an awakening, accompanied by symptoms, and the situation was not good.

Now it seems that what Rock said was true.

High fever, sweating, cold body, trembling, purple lips, pale face...

In the old days, it could still be saved.

But in this world of refugees, it seems that the disaster has already arrived.

Especially now it’s winter.

Remember, the signs of awakening are fever and resistance to any medication.

Giving medicine at this time will have no effect at all.

Generally speaking, even if they are awakened, they will have regained consciousness within a few days.

According to Shen Bei's judgment, the cold might have interfered with the awakening process, causing Xiao K to fall into a coma.

There is nothing anyone can do about it.

On the bright side, Little K might wake up and miss the opportunity to awaken his superpowers.

In the worst-case scenario, there is a high probability that Little K will die.

In this world, a newborn may still attract a human's attention, but once it grows up, it is worthless.

Whose son is it if he dies or not.

So, as Rock said, even if Xiao K died, no one would cry for him.

The final outcome was that he was left behind in the shelter and became a frozen corpse in the snow.

Shen Bei had almost no hesitation and scared Rock with his first move.

A syringe of the second awakening potion was injected,

Rock's heart is very complicated.

Needless to say, where did the second awakening potion come from? Shen Bei couldn't have robbed Shelter No. 1, he didn't have the ability to do so.

Then, it can only be given by Niu Ben.

This is an item that cannot be valued.

Despite the 50% chance of death, for ordinary people in the lower levels of the shelter, there is no difference between being alive and being dead.

Lots of people are willing to try and take a chance on getting rich.

Even if they can't afford it.

Some of the children of the upper class who are protected by the powerful are naturally willing to take risks.

Therefore, the value of this potion is hundreds of times more valuable than Xiao K's life.

Rock's mind is in a mess.

You said Shen Bei is kind-hearted, but that's not necessarily true.

The 50% chance of death may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for Xiao K.

You say he is cold-blooded, but the second awakening potion can deepen the awakening environment and help Xiao K awaken.

This is even harder to solve than the trolley problem.

But Rock had one idea right.

Xiao K, it’s not worth the money.

……

living room.

Shen Bei lit the fireplace.

Inside the fireplace, pieces of hard, clearly textured discarded wood were thrown in. Under the licking of the flames, they seemed to be given new life.

The flames slowly penetrated the texture of the wood, crackling.

The fire grew brighter, and the golden flames at the center of the wood overflowed the fireplace, painting the entire room a warm orange-red hue.

The heat from the fireplace surged like a tide, pushing away the coldness in the house bit by bit.

The warmth rising from the soles of his feet was like the heat of spring, slowly climbing up Shen Bei's legs, spreading along his spine to his whole body, until every hair tip was filled with comfortable temperature.

Shen Bei picked up the paper box, took out the scrap metal inside, placed it on the ground, and pieced it together carefully.

"I said……"

Rock walked out of Little K's room, his tone incomprehensible: "Aren't you worried about Little K?"

"When you said this..." Shen Bei paused here, placed a fragment in his hand on the breastplate, as if piecing together a puzzle, took a breath, then raised his head and continued:

"You're already a qualified father, and the kind of father who doesn't need to listen to his wife's nagging and nagging until her ears are hurt."

Luo Ke sat cross-legged in front of Shen Bei and stopped him from putting the puzzle together. "This old joke is getting boring after a few more times. What I want to say is, you're too cruel!"

"If a man is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm."

"The price-performance ratio is not high. If I were you, this tube of secondary awakening potion would be worth at least 100 crystal cores."

Shen Bei slowly raised his head and grinned, "So, you are not me, and I am not you. What you value is worthless in my eyes."

"Should I label you as rampant?"

"I never live for others. Any labels are useless to me." Shen Bei picked up the fragments and continued piecing them together: "Of course, if you label me handsome, I will thank you. If you say I'm ugly, I will beat you to a pulp."

Rock's face twisted, and he stared at him without blinking: "You are such a weirdo!"

"No." Shen Bei said seriously: "I am a normal person, it's just that you are too twisted."

Rock was stunned for a moment and smiled silently.

Shen Bei continued piecing together the fragments and spoke again, "Also, the Second Awakening Potion might be expensive, but it's definitely not prohibitive. That's why You Wuchang paid such a high price to bring Niu Ben back."

"If we keep the core things in our own hands, we won't be blackmailed by Shelter No. 1."

"Niu Niu Ben's mission is to bring prices down."

After Shen Bei said this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The more you laugh, the louder the laughter.

Even drowning out the howling of the wind outside.

In Rock's eyes, Shen Bei seemed to have suddenly suffered a mental illness.

"what are you laughing at?"

Rock moved his butt and took two steps back, as if he was on guard against a mad dog.

Shen Bei stopped laughing and waved his hand: "Nothing, I just thought of those kind-hearted people who bargained down the price and bought a Mercedes-Benz G-Class right away."

"Mercedes-Benz G-Class?" Rock stroked his chin. "What an old car name."

Not a moment.

Shen Bei finished assembling the armor and stood up: "I'm going out for a while."

"Where?"

"Research Institute, please lend me a welding machine."

"Twiddling with these pieces of junk?" Rock pointed at the debris on the ground.

Shen Bei put on his coat and said with a smile, "If one day, I have to choose between you and the armor, who do you think I would choose?"

Rock rolled his eyes: "If I were a flirty woman who could play ice and fire, then the answer would be natural."

"That's really the ultimate pleasure." Shen Bei said inexplicably.

……

The two walked out of the RV.

Shen Bei glanced into the distance.

The blizzard was sweeping in with unbridled force. The sky was thick with dark clouds, like the prelude to Judgment Day, rolling down towards the earth.

The snowflakes were no longer pure white, but mixed with dust and weathered debris.

In the wind and snow, the outlines of the former city ruins are faintly visible, and the dilapidated buildings appear even more desolate and dilapidated under the invasion of wind and snow.

The tires of the entire RV army rolled over the ground, squeaking in the wind and snow.

"Are you also in charge of the collective missions within the Northern Territory?"

Shen Bei asked curiously.

Rock shrugged. "It's not clear yet. After all, the other members of the shelter haven't arrived yet. We have to wait for You Wuchang to make the decision."

"But there's a high probability that you won't need me."

Rock exhaled and continued, "The performance on the last mission wasn't very good, and we don't know what to do with this gathering. I guess You Wuchang won't make any arrangements until the very end."

Shen Bei nodded but said nothing.

Finally, the two parted at the intersection.

You Wuchang is going to the Chihuo Bar, and Shen Bei is going to the Upper Level Research Institute.

Soon.

Shen Bei arrived at the entrance of the research institute.

There are relatively few people in the research institute today, with only a few researchers who are not presentable and are slacking off listlessly.

As for people of Chen Anzhi's level, they were called away by You Wuchang to accompany guests.

As for who the guest is, there is naturally no need to say more.

As for the welcoming banquet, we must hold it.

Moreover, Niu Ben came back in fear all the way.

After Shen Bei entered the research institute, he really scared those researchers who were slacking off.

Especially when I saw Shen Bei’s cloak.

Those were You Wuchang's clothes. For a moment, I thought You Wuchang had returned.

"What are you tinkering with?" Shen Bei asked, pointing at something on a researcher's desk.

The researcher touched his heart and said, "Take off your cloak first. I feel stressed."

Shen Bei laughed a few times, took off his cloak and hung it aside.

"interested?"

The researcher said stealthily, "It's just a little toy I made myself."

Shen Bei was arrested.

This is a small robot, and its shape is... an octopus spider?

That’s right, Shen Bei took a long time to find a suitable metaphor.

"It's ugly." Shen Bei smacked his lips.

The researcher snorted and said something quite philosophical: "In this world, there is only one kind of beautiful thing, and that is women. There is no distinction between beautiful and ugly for other things."

Listening to your words is a waste of a second.

Shen Bei said, "I want to borrow a welding machine."

"Welding machine?" the researcher asked curiously. "Just bring whatever you need to weld. We won't use the official account. I'll weld it privately for you. It's cheaper."

Shen Bei naturally knew what he was thinking.

Want to make extra money using public property.

But Shen Bei didn't want to move the armor over. The armor was originally the simplest version, and after several upgrades, nothing special could be seen on the outside.

But there are still changes inside.

It is easy to make people associate.

Shen Bei also understood the ways of the world and stuffed some crystal cores into the researcher's pocket: "Look, you don't have to work, and you can still make money."

The researcher chuckled and said, "That's a deal. Bring it back to me after you use it."

"It's no use for me to keep it."

"What kind of welder? There are plasma welders, alloy reconstruction welders, zero-point energy welding guns, shaping welders, and so on."

Shen Bei admitted that he was ignorant.

According to the inertia of thinking, I thought there would be argon arc welding, gas-filled welding and so on.

As a result, these welders have never been heard of.

"What is a zero-point energy welding gun?" Shen Bei asked casually.

The researcher began to show off his expertise: "There's a lot to say about this welding gun. All you need to know is that it produces almost no heat during welding, protecting the object being welded from high temperatures and achieving nearly non-destructive precision welding."

"Then this."

The researcher patted the spider robot.

Shen Bei was very surprised to find that this spider robot actually crawled along a specific track to the toolbox, took out the welding gun, put it on its back, and brought it over!

“Is this a toy?”

Shen Bei widened his eyes.

"That's right." The researcher said nonchalantly, "Just a pen and a piece of paper. It's not going to be very helpful."

The corners of Shen Bei's mouth twitched.

He found another way to use it.

in case……

I mean, if this thing were strapped with explosives...
